NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 5:
Chapter 5: She’s Actually the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden?:
“From the Heavenly Fox Holy Land?”
“That woman’s actually a disciple of the Heavenly Fox Holy Land?”
“No wonder she doesn’t fear the Mist Mountain Sect.”
“How could a mere mid-tier sect like Mist Mountain Sect even compare to a Holy Land?”
“But why would a disciple of the Heavenly Fox Holy Land come all the way to a remote place like Xingyu City? And how does Xia Feng even know someone like her?”
“I heard that the personal disciples of the Heavenly Fox Holy Land all carry the bloodline of the ancient divine beast, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox. Could she be one of them?”
“Wait a second, I’m confused now. She kept calling him ‘husband’ like they’ve known each other forever, but from the way they talk, this might be their first time meeting. What’s going on here? Can anyone explain?”
The surrounding guests were all in shock, whispering among themselves.
The Liu family members looked utterly pale and hopeless.
Now that they’d offended a disciple of a Holy Land, not even the Mist Mountain Sect could protect them.
On the Primordial Heaven Continent, sects were ranked—low-tier, mid-tier, high-tier, and supreme. Above the supreme sects were the Four Ranked Empires, and above those, the Four Ranked Holy Lands.
The Heavenly Fox Holy Land was one of the top-tier Holy Lands. A mere mid-tier sect like Mist Mountain Sect wasn’t even worthy to carry their shoes.
Even Xia Feng’s mother was stunned. This girl who had been calling her son “husband” so sweetly… was actually a disciple of a Holy Land?
Xia Feng’s father, shocked as well, couldn’t help but frown.
A disciple of a Holy Land who could, at such a young age, completely suppress a 9th stage Heaven Realm Martial Lord—her status within the Holy Land had to be quite high.
So why would someone like her come all the way to Xingyu City and willingly offer herself to their son as his wife? It made no sense.
“A disciple of the Heavenly Fox Holy Land?” Xia Feng was just as astonished. That place was so distant and unreachable for someone like him. Why would she come all this way to help someone the world saw as a useless failure?
He couldn’t figure out what she saw in him.
“Impossible! He’s just trash—how could he know someone from the Heavenly Fox Holy Land?” Liu Shiyu screamed hysterically. The man she had just broken off an engagement with—a total failure—how could he possibly be connected to someone from the Heavenly Fox Holy Land? How could that be allowed?!
“It’s fake! It has to be fake!” she shouted, her emotions spiraling. “How dare you impersonate a disciple of the Heavenly Fox Holy Land—you’re dead!”
“Impersonate?” Yu Siya laughed. She turned to Xia Feng with a grin. “Husband, your ex-fiancée is not only blind, but her brain isn’t working either. In the Great Xia Empire, who would dare impersonate me—Yu Siya?”
“The Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden, Yu Siya?!”
The Grand Elder of Mist Mountain Sect, who had just regained his senses, collapsed to the ground in fear, his face turning deathly pale.
Xingyu City was too remote to know the weight that name carried—but as the Grand Elder of a mid-tier sect, how could he not know?
Yu Siya was the number one Holy Maiden of the current generation of the Heavenly Fox Holy Land, and the most likely candidate to succeed as the next Holy Lord.
It was said she possessed the Heavenly Fox Charm Body—a natural saintly physique. As long as she didn’t die young, reaching the Martial Saint Realm would be almost guaranteed.
She was only fifteen and already in the Martial Venerable Realm. A true peerless prodigy.
Not to mention a Grand Elder like himself, even the sect master of Mist Mountain Sect wouldn’t dare act recklessly in front of her.
“The Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden? She’s actually the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fox Holy Land?!”
Gasps filled the room. Reverence flashed in everyone’s eyes.
They had only guessed she might be a personal disciple at most—no one imagined she would be the Holy Maiden herself. One of the Great Xia Empire’s Ten Supreme Holy Maidenes!
How in the world did Xia Feng know the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden?
Xingyu City and the Heavenly Fox Holy Land were separated by thousands of miles. They had nothing to do with each other!
“No… this isn’t real… that piece of trash can’t know the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden. It has to be fake!” Liu Shiyu couldn’t accept it.
Smack!
A loud slap echoed.
But it wasn’t Yu Siya—it was the Grand Elder of Mist Mountain Sect who slapped her.
“You disgrace!”
The Grand Elder was nearly driven mad. He had only come to recruit a disciple—how had he ended up offending the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden?
And this foolish disciple of his had actually dared to provoke her? If she died, that was her own fault. But now she might drag him and the entire Mist Mountain Sect down with her.
“Master, you—!” Liu Shiyu looked at him in disbelief.
“Shut up!” the Grand Elder snapped. He then bowed deeply to Yu Siya. “I didn’t realize I was in the presence of the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden. I deeply regret my earlier offenses. I humbly ask your forgiveness.”
Yu Siya replied coldly, “Did I tell you to get up?”
Thud!
This time, she didn’t even use her charm technique. The Grand Elder dropped to his knees on his own.
Yu Siya then turned her icy gaze toward Liu Shiyu.
Before she could speak, the Grand Elder turned and shouted, “Disgraceful disciple! Kneel and apologize to Young Master Xia!”
Young Master Xia?
He had just been called trash a moment ago, and now he was “Young Master”? The sudden shift in tone stunned everyone present.
Liu Shiyu clenched her fists, her face filled with humiliation.
To apologize to the very person she had just humiliated at the engagement banquet? She couldn’t accept it.
But even her master didn’t dare offend Yu Siya—how could she?
Though unwilling, she had no choice but to bow her head.
“Xia Feng… I’m sorry,” she said through gritted teeth, tears of humiliation welling in her eyes.
Xia Feng was speechless.
You were the one who publicly humiliated me and my family at the engagement banquet… now you apologize and act like I’m bullying you?
“It seems my husband is still not satisfied,” Yu Siya said indifferently. “You can both keep kneeling.”
“Yes, yes, we’ll kneel until Young Master Xia is satisfied!” The Grand Elder nodded repeatedly, showing no trace of a 9th stage Heaven Realm Martial Lord’s pride.
In truth, he felt deeply humiliated—but facing the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fox Holy Land, this was the only way to protect the Mist Mountain Sect.
In this world where strength rules, dignity is meaningless.
Liu Tianxiang and his wife stepped forward but didn’t dare move any closer.
Just the title “Holy Maiden” was already suffocating.
They couldn’t understand—what was it about that useless boy that attracted someone like her?
Yu Siya finally turned her eyes back to Xia Feng. With a sweet, playful smile, she asked, “Husband, I helped you vent your anger. Did I do well?”
At this moment, all her previous arrogance and dominance had vanished. She looked just like an ordinary girl waiting for her lover’s praise.
Xia Feng opened his mouth, unsure what to say. After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out two words: “Thank you.”
“You’re such a blockhead.” Yu Siya gently tapped his forehead with a snowy-white finger, but her face was filled with a warm smile. “But I like that.”
Her affectionate gesture and straightforward confession stunned everyone.
Yu Siya naturally linked arms with Xia Feng, her body half-leaning into his. Her soft curves pressed against him, her sweet scent surrounding him—Xia Feng felt his mouth go dry.
She giggled and said, “Husband, look—so many guests came, and Uncle and Auntie are here too. We can’t let them leave empty-handed, can we? Why don’t we just go ahead and hold the engagement banquet today?”
