Chapter 1124: “Who Dares Say One More Word (1)”
The human skin map was discovered within one of Qu Xin Rui’s room and Jun Wu Xie’s goal for coming to the Thousand Beast City was finally achieved. But she did not leave the place immediately but had remained behind temporarily.
Qu Ling Yue did not make any attempts to kill herself and she made her final choice showing it through her actions. She lived on, begging Jun Xie to cure her father.
In fact, even if Qu Ling Yue had not requested it, Jun Wu Xie would still have done that all the same.
Qu Wen Hao had used the Spirit Taming Bone Flute to gain control of Lord Meh Meh and only he would be able to remove that, or if he was dead, then would Lord Meh Meh go back to normal.
Jun Wu Xie had obviously no intentions to kill Qu Wen Hao.
But in the subsequent days that came after, although Jun Wu Xie was staying within the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, she did not have any chance to once meet Qu Ling Yue. It was as if Qu Ling Yue was hiding from her and even when people brought her food and drinks, she would hide within the room and opened the door just a small crack to receive them. And as for Jun Wu Xie….. the moment Jun Xie comes to Qu Ling Yue’s room, Qu Ling Yue would try everything she could to hide herself from the youth.
She did not want to see Jun Xie again, not because of hatred, but because she was too ashamed to see him.
Towards Qu Ling Yue’s stubbornness, Jun Wu Xie did not say anything about it, but just stood by her earlier agreement, to treat Qu Wen Hao.
Qu Wen Hao had been put through enormous shock and his consciousness had completely collapsed and broken down. Such conditions when put even in the hands of Jun Wu Xie, was not something that could be treated in two or three days. Afterall, in the human body, one’s consciousness was the most vulnerable.
Xiong Ba and Qing Yu had come to the Heavenly Cloud Chambers a few times but they did not dare meet Jun Xie but had only relayed the gratitude of the Thousand Beast City’s citizens to Qiao Chu and the others for them to convey to Jun Xie.
After having suffered under oppression for more than a decade, the Thousand Beast City finally got a new lease of life and their people who had lived under all that hardship were finally able to return back to living a normal life.
But…..
After the crisis was resolved, disharmonious voices rang out within the Thousand Beast City.
Qu Wen Hao as the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City, had gone mad, and according to reason, the position of Grand Chieftain should be temporarily handed over to Qu Ling Yue but in regards to that, voices with differing views rang out.
Qu Xin Rui had revealed everything about the things that Qu Ling Yue had been through before everyone in the Thousand Beast City on that day. It could be said that currently in the Thousand Beast City, everyone was very much aware of the kind of horrifying things that Qu Ling Yue had been put through.
And the people who had done those things to Qu Ling Yue were men who were once favoured men in the Heavenly Cloud Chamber that rode roughshod over the people. After Jun Xie took over the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, those favoured men had run from the place and scattered. But the men had gotten so used to the leisurely and privileged life in the Heavenly Cloud Chambers and asking them to return to the life of a normal person just like that, how would they be able to tolerate that? On top of that, their pompous ways back when they were in the Heavenly Cloud Chambers were still well remembered by the citizens of the Thousand Beast City.
Now that they have returned, they were made to suffer countless fierce glares and insulting curses and under the incessant and continuous abuse, they had dragged Qu Ling Yue into the picture saying if they were all not to be forgiven, then how could the hopelessly withered flower that Qu Ling Yue had become have any right to take up the mantle of being the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City?
The words of those people had been highly unpleasant to hear and those citizens who did not know the entire truth began to lose the sympathy they had for Qu Ling Yue under the influence of those rumours. They began to say they did not wish to have a girl who had lost her chastity to become their Grand Chieftain, as that would only make them feel ashamed and humiliated.

Chapter 1125: “Who Dares Say One Word More (2)”
When the several Clan Chiefs convened to discuss about the future situation of the Thousand Beast City, the topic concerning whether Qu Ling Yue would be able to become the Grand Chieftain was debated even more heatedly.
Xiong Ba had banged his fist on the table and quarrelled loudly with the other Clan Chiefs. Under to come to a conclusion, he had left in a raging huff as he made his way towards the Heavenly Cloud Chambers.
“Wow, I see a face there, looks really red with rage.” Qiao Chu was sitting inside the Heavenly Cloud Chambers biting on an apple and when he saw Xiong Ba approaching livid with rage, he could not help himself but to say that sarcastically.
Maybe it was due to Xiong Ba’s and Qing Yu’s deeply apologetic demeanor that had let Qiao Chu and the others feel that they were sincere, which caused the grudges within their hearts to gradually disappear, but….. although the enmity was gone, to want them to accept them back as friends, wouldn’t be possible.
Xiong Ba’s face showed a tinge of embarrassment as he scratched at his head and said: “Young Master Qiao, don’t make fun of me please.”
“What happened? Saw that you have been so highly agitated recently. You all already have Qu Xin Rui imprisoned, how is it? Has that old witch been getting by well over this period?” Qiao Chu asked.
Having been asked by Qiao Chu, Xiong Ba immediately thought of how Qu Xin Rui currently looked. The grotesque memory of seeing a person struggling under the fate of having all her flesh rot off and then growing it back, had completely unnerved even the stalwart and hardy Xiong Ba where his scalp had tingled with numbness when he saw that. It was then that Xiong Ba finally understood why Jun Xie had wanted Qu Xin Rui to be kept alive. Living like that seemingly neither human nor ghost, was truly an existence more agonizing than death. Within the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall, Qu Xin Rui’s screams could be heard everyday, sounding just like a terrifying cry coming from a ferocious ghost deep in the depths of Hell.
Seeing Xiong Ba’s reaction, Qiao Chu knew, that Qu Xin Rui’s looks must have been rather “exciting and brilliant” to see.
“Speak. What are you here for today?” Qiao Chu asked.
Xiong Ba opened his mouth and said highly awkwardly: “Today….. I have….. come to seek Young Master Jun.”
Qiao Chu immediately raised up an eyebrow. He was just about to say something when a cold voice rang out suddenly.
“Why would you be looking for me.” Jun Wu Xie said as she came down slowly from upstairs, her chilly gaze sweeping over the figure of Xiong Ba standing frozen at the doors.
Xiong Ba’s repeated and persistent appearances at the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, to express his guilt and goodwill, was known to her, but she had never met with him at all.
Xiong Ba looked at Jun Xie, highly flabbergasted. Ever since Qu Xin Rui had been captured, he had not been able to see Jun Xie even once. Seeing her so suddenly like this, his heart had almost jumped out from his throat.
“I….. I….. not me, aish! Young Master Jun, the thing is actually this….. The several Clan Chiefs and Elders had discussed about it. The Thousand Beast City had just gotten over its crisis but the Grand Chieftain had become like that….. Suddenly without a leader among the dragons, so….. they were thinking….. whether they can ask….. ask you to temporarily take up the position of Grand Chieftain…..” As Xiong Ba spoke, his heart was feeling rather apprehensive. Truth to be told, he had really discarded his face at the door when he came in to see Jun Xie today.
Jun Xie was the Emperor of the Fire Country, and although the Thousand Beast City wasn’t all that weak th
emselves, they would still be nothing before Jun Xie’s eyes.
“It was all due to you that the Thousand Beast City was saved this time. Throughout the entire city, everyone sees you as their saviour, and if you are willing to temporarily take on the position of the Grand Chieftain, I believe….. everyone will be convinced.” Xiong Ba said as he looked at Jun Xie nervously. The Thousand Beast City was now in tumult without a leader and they desperately need someone to stand forth to calm the situation.
Jun Wu Xie’s eyebrow raised slightly.
Qiao Chu was so surprised his eyes went wide. Even if you beat him to death, he wouldn’t have thought that the people of the Thousand Beast City wanted Jun Wu Xie to be their Grand Chieftain!

Chapter 1126: “Who Dares Say One Word More (3)”
Jun Wu Xie did not say anything. Her silence made Xiong Ba even more nervous. But just as Xiong Ba was feeling so nervous that he was about to run out through the doors, another Clan Chief of the Thousand Beast City came in following Xiong Ba’s footsteps.
“Young Master Jun!” That Clan Chief was advanced in age and had met Jun Xie before, but that had been when he was with Qu Wen Hao trying to capture Lord Meh Meh.
When Xiong Ba saw that Clan Chief, his chest immediately felt highly stifled and seemed to want to say something, but felt that quarrelling with the man in front of Jun Xie and Qiao Chu might not be appropriate, so he merely gritted his teeth and glared at him.
“Young Master Jun, you are the benefactor of the Thousand Beast City. Now that the Grand Chieftain is of unsound mind, the Thousand Beast City needs someone who is convincing to temporarily take on the position of the Thousand Beast City. Young Master Jun had not taken it against us and saved the entire Thousand Beast City and this old man here has no choice but to come here thick skinned to plead for Young Master Jun to help us all another time, to temporarily become our Grand Chieftain.” The Clan Chief offered his greetings respectfully to Jun Xie, his words uttered out clearly unlike the nervous Xiong Ba.
Xiong Ba glared at the old man discreetly, wishing deeply he could kill that man with a single slap.
Regarding the matter about who was to assume the position of the Grand Chieftain, this old man had been the one who had argued with him the hardest. The man was loyal to the Thousand Beast City but his unbending and one tracked mind had frequently angered Xiong Ba so much that made Xiong Ba always want to get into a physical fight with him.
“What has it got to do with me?” Jun Wu Xie replied, her eyes narrowing slightly.
The Clan Chief was taken aback. He had been aware that Jun Xie had previously declared he was cutting off ties with the Thousand Beast City but at the Thousand Beast City’s most critical time of crisis, Jun Xie had helped them push back the insurmountable odds, which had let him see a sliver of hope. Hence, he was surprised that Jun Xie had flatly rejected him without even giving his suggestion a single thought.
Qiao Chu watching from the side could not hold himself back anymore. Jun Wu Xie had interfered because she had a bone to pick with Qu Xin Rui and it didn’t have anything to do with the Thousand Beast City. They had been already been saved because of that and that was not enough, they could actually be so shameless and even had the cheek to come as Jun Wu Xie to be their Grand Chieftain! ? What cheek!
“I say, who is this old man here? Are you even fit to speak out here? Your Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City might have lost his mind, but his daughter is still here well and alive. Since you guys are looking for a new Grand Chieftain, by all reasons, the rightful choice should be Qu Ling Yue! Why are you all here seeking our Little Xie to take on the job! ?” Qiao Chu asked, his face immediately darkening.
Towards Xiong Ba, he could still consider to be cordial. But with this thick skinned old Clan Chief, he did not have the slightest inclination to be polite at all.
Who would have known. Once Qu Ling Yue’s name was mentioned, the old Clan Chief’s face immediately creased up.
“With our Thousand Beast City’s stellar reputation at stake, how could we let such an offensive and immoral woman become our Grand Chieftain? If news of it were to spread, we would be seen as the biggest joke!”
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowed up immediately and she stared coldly at the old Clan Chief, all warmth disappearing from her eyes in an instant.
“She is in possession of an unclean body and if she was to become the Thousand Beast City’s Grand Chieftain, how could she convince the people? Such a filthy girl, if keeping her just as a commoner, it can be disregarded. But to let her lead the glory of the entire city…..” The old Clan Chief’s brows knotted together, his eyes with disdain written all over them.
Xiong Ba was so angered by those words his entire body was trembling with rage. In the recent days past, he had heard quite a lot of similar things like this said, and his heart had already been shooting off with anger, driving him to rush forward to give the old Clan Chief a punch on the face.
But someone’s actions had been faster than Xiong Ba!
The old man’s voice had barely fallen when the figure of Jun Wu Xie had suddenly appeared right in front of him in a flash, and with a whip of her leg, the old man had been sent flying out through the doors of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers!
Volume 12
Chapter 1127: “Jealous (1)”
That man was sent flying straight out through the door, to crash heavily to the ground and vomiting out a mouthful of blood. He struggled hard to raise his head and looked at Jun Xie in confusion, puzzlement in his eyes.
“Young Master Jun….. I….. Have I said anything wrong….. Why have you…..”
“Shut up.” Jun Wu Xie shouted in a cold voice.
Xiong Ba who had almost moved to strike was standing stunned on one side, having not expected that Jun Xie would have moved faster than him. It must be said though, seeing the old Clan Chief being kicked outside like this, greatly relieved the pent up rage within his heart!
“Young Mas…..”
“You hear this clearly now.” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes narrowing up slightly.
“Three day from now, I will be marrying Qu Ling Yue in the Thousand Beast City. If I am to hear anyone say a single disparaging word about her, I will break that person’s neck.” Jun Wu Xie’s tone was frosty, her words infused with rage.
“What! !” Immediately after Jun Wu Xie’s words left her mouth, needless to mention about the old Clan Chief, even Xiong Ba and Qiao Chu were instantly speechless, their eyes bulged almost popping out of their heads.
Xiong Ba was so getting so excited his entire body was trembling. He had known that Qu Ling Yue had developed feelings for Jun Xie, but Jun Xie had not done anything to show reciprocation. After Qu Ling Yue was put through all that, even Xiong Ba felt that it was no longer possible for anything to happen between Qu Ling Yue and Jun Xie. But….. Jun Xie had at this moment suddenly said, he would be marrying Qu Ling Yue! !
Xiong Ba’s mind completely blanked out.
Qiao Chu gasped loudly and stared with wide incredulous eyes.
[Little Xie was going to marry Qu Ling Yue?]
[What the hell was this! ?]
[No doubt that Qu Ling Yue’s ordeal was very pitiful, but….. Little Xie, you are a girl you know! You are a pure bred girl through and through! How are you going to marry another girl!]
As everyone there were still overwhelmed in shock, Jun Wu Xie said chillingly to the utterly shocked Clan Chief: “Now scram!”
The Clan Chief immediately picked up his legs and ran away in fright.
It wasn’t a till a long while later that Xiong Ba finally managed to regain his senses and was about to say something when his gaze fell upon the back of Jun Xie. He immediately shivered and in that instant turned tail and fled!
“Little Xie, about this, shouldn’t you…..” Qiao Chu had just opened his mouth to express the immense shock within his heart when he had just turned his head, and he immediately froze in his spot.
“
Big Brother Wu Yao! !”
Jun Wu Xie’s body stiffened as she turned hesitantly, quickly spotting Jun Wu Yao, not knowing from when he had appeared behind her. His face was showing the devilishly charming smile that she was so familiar with, but that smile did not reach his eyes in the slightest, and within those jet black eyes, it was seen that they were faintly revealing a purplish tinge!
“Little Xie, is going to marry that girl?” Jun Wu Yao asked slowly, his voice light as a feather, brushing past one’s heart.
Jun Wu Xie’s mouth gaped open. It was originally already decided, but without knowing why, upon seeing the cold chill in Jun Wu Yao’s eyes, she could not make herself say it no matter how hard she tried.
This was also the first time that she had seen Jun Wu Yao look at her with such eyes.
“Big Brother Wu Yao, Little Xie was just kidding. She is a girl, how is it possible for her to marry Qu Ling Yue?” Even the incredibly dense Qiao Chu could sense the strange vibes coming from Jun Wu Yao, and he instinctively tried to make up an excuse for Jun Wu Xie.
“Scram.” Jun Wu Yao spat out just one word that was cold as frost, his gaze not having moved an inch.
Qiao Chu disappeared completely from the room in the same instant.
[Big Brother Wu Yao today, was just too terrifying!]
On the first floor of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, only Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao were left.
Jun Wu Yao walked slowly to come before Jun Wu Xie, his hand reaching out to hold Jun Wu Xie by the chin, and lifted her face up slightly.
“You want to marry her? Hmm?”
…..
Lord Jue: Come out here!
Author Bei: I will not come out even if I die in here! I will lose my life if I go out there!
Lord Jue: You think, by hiding, you will then be able to live?
Author Bei: My Lord! Let me explain first! Qu Ling Yue is a girl! Wu Xie is also a girl! The two of them will not be able to create any disharmonious situations! You must cool down! ! It’s just but marrying right! When in school, many girls address other girls as wifey as well….. Wu Xie! Save me! ARRRGGGHHH! Your Lord Jue is going to kill your birth mum here! For the love of the god, come save me!
