Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 244 Death of the Former Saint

A truly strong person would often appreciate someone who is on equal footing with him. The former Saint Xu Yuexi likes Ji Wuxie and Li Yansheng, who grew up with her and also entered the 'Tianxuan Stage', very much. They both have deep feelings for her.

At that time, Xu Yue, as the only princess in the country, was doted on and cared for by everyone. In addition, she had been practicing hard for a long time and rarely interacted with people from the outside world, so she naturally knew nothing about the complexity of human nature.

Deep in her pure and beautiful heart, she believed that everyone was as kind as she was. So when her father, who was of a high status, told her that she could choose one of Ji Wuxie and Li Yansheng as her future husband, she did not think much about it.

The young Ji Wuxie is graceful and elegant, and his strength is unfathomable, like a towering mountain, which makes people feel awe.

Li Yansheng, who is not yet twenty, is like a dazzling star, shining so brightly that it is impossible to ignore his existence.

These two peerless masters are a perfect match for Xu Yuexi, both in terms of strength and temperament.

Facing such outstanding people, Xu Yuexi was secretly delighted and fell in love with them more and more. So, she happily told Ji Wuxie and Li Yansheng that she would choose whoever treated her better as her husband.

Ji Wuxie and Li Yansheng were highly expected by their family since they were young, and were carefully cultivated according to the standards of heirs. Although they were still young, their knowledge and experience far exceeded their peers.

Ji Wuxie and Li Yansheng were clear as a mirror about the emperor's selection of a son-in-law, and they both knew the deep meaning behind the emperor's actions.

However, they tacitly chose to hide the truth about her father's intentions from Xu Yuexi.

They all loved Xu Yuexi deeply and did not want her to be involved in political calculations and power struggles. They all hoped that she could always maintain her innocence and happiness and continue to enjoy a carefree life.

However, as the battle between Shenji Pavilion and Zhanshen Palace intensified, Shenji Pavilion gradually fell into a disadvantage. In order to reverse the situation, Ji Wuxie began to give up his principles and took advantage of the kind and innocent Xu Yuexi.

Ji Wuxie began to appear in front of Xu Yuexi frequently, and deliberately pretended to be pitiful and bullied in front of her. As expected, Xu Yuexi felt pity for Ji Wuxie when she saw his miserable appearance, and she did not hesitate to ask Li Yansheng for mercy, asking him to spare Ji Wuxie.

Li Yansheng's feelings for Xu Yuexi are sincere. In his opinion, love should be pure and beautiful, and should not be contaminated by utilitarian factors.

He did not tell Xu Yuexi the truth, but listened to her and chose to give in.

But a person's patience is limited!

When Ji Wuxie learned that Li Yansheng and Xu Yuexi were engaged, his attacks on the Zhanshen Palace became more fierce and merciless.

Li Yansheng couldn't stand it anymore so he challenged Ji Wuxie and agreed to a life-and-death duel to resolve the grudges between them!

These two were both rare peerless masters in the world, and their skills were so profound that ordinary people could not even dream of them. This fight was so shocking that it made the gods and ghosts weep. The two sides fought for two days and two nights but still could not determine the winner.

When masters fight, every move they make contains infinite power, and every move can cause a loud noise like a landslide. Although they deliberately chose a secluded place, how can such a huge movement be hidden from others?

Soon, the news of this earth-shattering duel spread throughout the martial arts world. Hearing the news, heroes from all walks of life rushed to take a peek and witness this ultimate battle.

When Xu Yuexi arrived, the duel between Ji Wuxie and Li Yansheng was still going on.

Xu Yuexi looked at the two people fighting in front of her, her heart filled with worry and uneasiness. Seeing that the two people were fighting more and more fiercely, trying to kill each other with every move, Xu Yuexi was very worried.

She ordered them to stop, but they ignored her shouts. Xu Yuexi had no other choice but to rush forward to try to stop them.

However, what Xu Yuexi did not expect was that although there was only one level difference between the Initial Profound Realm and the Entering Profound Realm, the strength was very different. She did not stop the two of them, but instead put herself in danger.

Li Yansheng's palm strike hit her back, and it was as fierce as a tidal wave, causing her body to fly forward. At the same time, Ji Wuxie's palm strike came towards her and hit her chest.

Xu Yuexi's body suffered such severe injuries that her internal organs and all her meridians were instantly shattered. Blood gushed out of her mouth like a fountain, instantly staining her clothes red.

"Little Yueyue"

"Xiao Xi'er"

Neither Ji Wuxie nor Li Yansheng expected Xu Yuexi to suddenly rush up, and when they wanted to retract their attacks, it was too late.

Seeing Xu Yuexi spitting blood and her body staggering to the ground, the two men were shocked and flew forward without hesitation, quickly stretching out their arms to steadily catch her body that was about to fall to the ground.

"Xiao Yueyue, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." Ji Wuxie said sadly.

Xu Yuexi's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead, but she still held on to her breath and used up her last bit of strength to say:

"Liaochen, brother, please don't make things difficult for Brother Sheng anymore. He has always been giving in to you."

"Brother Sheng, Laochen, my brother did something wrong. Can you forgive him? You two should not fight. I don't want you to get hurt. Brother Sheng, I'm sorry. In the next life, I will marry you again. I..."

Before Xu Yuexi finished speaking, her eyes gradually dimmed and her body fell limply into Ji Wuxie's arms, no longer breathing.

Ji Wuxie stared with eyes wide open, looking at Xu Yuexi who had died in his arms in disbelief. Although he had used Xu Yuexi in many ways, his feelings for her were real. The moment he lost her, his heart was torn, the pain was torn apart, and tears fell like rain.

Li Yansheng, who was standing aside, also had tears on his face. He knelt on the ground, gently stroking Xu Yuexi's face, and kept apologizing to Xu Yuexi, saying reluctant words.

Ji Wuxie and Li Yansheng held Xu Yuexi's body, grief-stricken. They could never have imagined that their fight led to the tragic death of their beloved.

The confrontation between the two and the struggle between the two organizations came to an end with the death of Xu Yuexi.
