As Bu Jianqiu was being tormented by Bu Qingyu’s uncanny intuition, outside the Bai family mansion, an extended-length Dongfang Xueying slowly came to a halt.
Anyone familiar with Qianxue Group would undoubtedly recognize this model. It was unique, the only one of its kind in the entire world.
A custom exclusive.
It also served as one of Qianxue Group’s hallmarks.
Its appearance signified the personal arrival of the renowned "Empress" of the Chinese business world.
At this moment, all eyes in the mansion turned towards the vehicle. As the onlookers watched, the car door gradually opened.
The first to emerge were a pair of pure, jade-like legs, fair as fresh snow. Adorned with two-centimeter heels, they tapped the ground with a crisp sound, like ice breaking. A naturally cold aura instantly condensed in the air.
It seemed as if the world itself resonated with her presence.
Following this, a face, as serene and picturesque as a celestial painting, revealed itself. Her eyes, which seemed to cradle millennia of frost, flickered with a faint blue glow. With a slight tilt of her head, she made brief eye contact with those in the courtyard.
Yet, that single glance sent shivers through their hearts, an inexplicable chill spreading within them.
Simultaneously, it jolted them from their reverie of the ethereal beauty before them.
“This… this is the ‘Ice Queen of Commerce’ from the rumors, Fang Junxue? I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but seeing her today, I realize they were far too modest!”
“Heavens! Such a transcendent woman in this world, truly, seeing is believing!”
“Such a beauty, a true celestial presence!”
“…”
Fang Junxue’s arrival, particularly her pristine and frosty aura, instantly allowed everyone to grasp the true meaning of the word "stunning."
But little did they know, this was just the beginning.
For a woman in a rose-red qipao, exuding a palpable heat, also stepped out of the car. The alluring depths of her phoenix-like eyes merely blinked, and the air, previously filled with frost, instantly became scorching.
And their momentarily calmed hearts were, in that brief instant, reignited.
Their very pupils seemed to redden.
Ji Hongying’s appearance undoubtedly delivered a new wave of visual impact to all who beheld her. Whether it was her devilishly sexy figure or the ripples of desire radiating from her with every step, it was enough to make them lose themselves in the moment.
Few remained truly clear-headed, their numbers dwindling to less than a handful.
Among them, Lin Fengxuan, standing behind Han Tiandao, was currently in shock.
He had never imagined Ji Hongying would appear here.
Furthermore, he could clearly sense that her first gaze upon exiting the car was directed at him.
It seemed she had known of his presence all along.
This sent Lin Fengxuan’s heart plummeting.
As he grappled with a myriad of emotions, a gentle breeze suddenly swirled, carrying a moist warmth that seeped deep into everyone’s souls, extinguishing the rekindled flames of desire before they could fully ignite.
This sense of inner peace left everyone in a state of daze. Under their slightly vacant gazes, a graceful figure, carrying an azure hue and the gentleness of flowing water, slowly emerged from the car.
Her presence acted as a harmonizer for the scene.
To her left was the domain of frost, to her right, the forest of desire. And she, a pure ocean, embraced it all.
Her name was Bai Qiushui!
After three years, she had returned to this place once more.
Three elegant figures, three distinct auras.
Standing side by side, they brought tranquility to the world.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, all gazes fixed upon the spectacle before them.
To witness such a sight in one’s life!
Death, perhaps, would hold no regrets!
This serenity, however, did not last long, as it was broken by a cold, emotionless voice.
“Fang Junxue, an abandoned child of the Bai family, has come to pay her respects!”
With these words, everyone felt their skin tighten, a faint chill conveying a single message.
The visitor… was not here with good intentions.
The single word “abandoned” spoke volumes.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, all eyes shifted, finally settling upon the eldest young master of the Bai family.
Bai Fenglang!
They all understood that Fang Junxue’s visit was not a homecoming.
“Hahaha! Junxue! Since you’re back, please, come in for a chat!” Bai Fenglang greeted her with a smile, like an elder brother welcoming a family member home.
However, after taking only a few steps, his body suddenly stiffened, his smile freezing on his face, his pupils widening with shock.
In that instant, he had felt a sense of mortal danger.
He looked up, his gaze meeting Fang Junxue’s. Her pure, unadulterated eyes were like millennia-old ice crystals, and with a mere glance, Bai Fenglang felt as though his very soul would freeze.
“This… how is this possible?”
A tempest raged within Bai Fenglang, disbelief at what he was experiencing.
After all, since three years ago, through a stroke of luck, he had begun to cultivate the path of immortality. Now, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Rongwu realm.
Equivalent to the pinnacle of a Martial God!
Yet, why, with such strength, was he so startled by a mere glance?
This left Bai Fenglang in a state of immense shock and confusion, coupled with a potent sense of humiliation.
This encounter had begun, and he had already lost ground.
“Damn it!”
His heart sank to the deepest abyss.
“The name ‘Junxue’ is not for you to use!” Fang Junxue looked at Bai Fenglang with a detached expression and said coldly, “You are not worthy! Nor do you have the right!”
This short sentence fully displayed the domineering presence befitting an empress.
Upon hearing this, Bai Fenglang’s frozen smile vanished completely. Given the circumstances, there was no need for pretense; they might as well drop the facade.
“Hehehe! You’re right!”
Bai Fenglang responded with a cold laugh, his voice chillingly sharp, “Just a bastard child unrecognized by the Bai family, of course, I don’t need to address you so politely!”
Bastard!
The moment Fang Junxue heard this word, her expression turned frigid. The surrounding air condensed into frost. The gentle breeze transformed into shards of cold blades, and wherever their edges touched, a chilling murderous intent arose.
Not only her, but Bai Qiushui and Ji Hongying, standing beside Fang Junxue, also felt a terrifying rage surge within their eyes.
And just as she was about to make Bai Fenglang pay for his words, a powerful and strange white light suddenly appeared before them without any warning.
Following this, a scream, unlike any human sound, exploded into the air.
“Ah!”
