Huang Xiaoyue was innocent and adorable and was born with an innate noble disposition. Thus, she was one of the most popular young ladies in the academy. In fact, her popularity was second only to Yu Caidie and Han Chenfei.
One could say that numerous academy disciples wished to have a beautiful romance with this princess and eventually obtain the backing of a super organization like the Dusk Dynasty.
Alas, Huang Xiaoyue only looked innocent, but she was actually unruly and willful. Her temper was not one any man could stand. More importantly, she had never shown any man interest.
However, she seemed to favor Xiang Shaoyun. The moment she saw him, she rushed to his side.
Xiang Shaoyun felt his head ache when he saw her, but he couldn’t even run if he wanted to.
“Princess, please stop joking with me,” said Xiang Shaoyun, his face pale.
It was unknown if Huang Xiaoyue was merely unobservant, but she had not noticed Xiang Shaoyun’s abnormality. The moment she arrived before him, her fist shot toward his chest as she said, “If you don’t agree to be my number one guard today, I will teach you a lesson!”
The force behind her punch was not small, and with Xiang Shaoyun completely defenseless, he was sent flying. Crimson blood trailed down from the corner of his lips, making him look incredibly miserable.
“What’s wrong with you? Just that light punch is enough to injure you? Are you pretending in front of me?” shouted Huang Xiaoyue unhappily.
Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything. Instead, he silently struggled back to his feet, his face grave.
Only then did Huang Xiaoyue notice his true condition. An anxious look covered her face as she said, “Y-you were injured! I-I didn’t mean it…”
“Enough. Just get out of my face,” Xiang Shaoyun said furiously.
He had always been considerate when it came to Huang Xiaoyue, but this time, he couldn’t hold his anger. The fury in his eyes caused Huang Xiaoyue to shiver, and she quickly took several steps back.
A white knight by her side stepped forth and shouted, “You dare raise your voice at the princess? Are you tired of liv—”
Before he could finish his words, Xiang Shaoyun vanished. By the time he reappeared, his hand was already wrapped around the man’s throat.
“Piss off!” Xiang Shaoyun roared and flung him away.
That person was also a second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, yet he was completely helpless before a gravely injured Xiang Shaoyun. That person had completely underestimated Xiang Shaoyun before he showed his might.
After tossing the man away, Xiang Shaoyun ignored Huang Xiaoyue and continued his journey back to his villa, stumbling ahead with great difficulty.
When Huang Xiaoyue saw his unsteady steps, a sense of sorrow arose within her. Without any hesitation, she chased after him and said, “Let me help you back.”
A person of her nobility was actually taking the initiative to help someone walk.
But since Xiang Shaoyun was still in a bad mood, he rejected her without hesitation. He avoided her hands and said, “No thanks.”
Then, he hastened his steps. Huang Xiaoyue’s eyes grew misty as she gazed at his back. This was the very first time she had been rejected in this manner.

“Princess, why waste any time on someone who has destroyed his own future like that?” someone stepped forth and advised.
“Scram! All of you, scram!” Huang Xiaoyue flipped out at the people around her. She then stomped off.
…
When Xiang Shaoyun arrived near his villa, someone from the Overlord Legion finally noticed him. They quickly helped him back. The Overlord Legion members grew excited upon learning of his return. But when they learned of his injuries, they couldn’t bring themselves to feel any joy.
Zhuge Zhantian immediately emptied the cultivation room and let Xiang Shaoyun recuperate inside. Before long, a majority of the Overlord Legion members were gathered at 1 Dragon Villa. Tang Longfei, Shang Jifeng, Lady Shura, Zhuge Zhantian, Ma Qihao, Li Haonan, Shou Xie, Yan Gang, Zhong Xia, and the others arrived one after another.
“Zhantian, how is the overlord’s situation?” Tang Longfei asked.
Of these people, only Zhuge Zhantian and Ma Qihao were allowed to reside within 1 Dragon Villa. Both were handpicked by Xiang Shaoyun himself, and they were the ones who knew Xiang Shaoyun’s current condition best.
“I don’t know either. When the overlord arrived, he was already badly injured, so I sent him right into the cultivation room to recuperate,” said Zhuge Zhantian.
“When I came, I heard that Huang Xiaoyue was the one who had injured the overlord,” Li Haonan said.
“Impossible. With Huang Xiaoyue’s strength, how can she even harm the overlord?” Shang Jifeng was the first to voice his doubt.
“That’s right. I don’t believe that either,” Lady Shura added.
“I think everyone should calm down first. Just wait until the overlord is done recuperating. We will then know everything,” Zhuge Zhantian said calmly.
The others nodded in agreement. Instead of leaving, they stayed and waited. About half a day later, an Overlord Legion member arrived in anger.
“Brothers, the overlord was defeated by Xiao Xie at the Castle of Darkness,” said that person the moment he stepped into the villa. When the others heard his words, they finally understood the reason for Xiang Shaoyun’s injuries.
“So Xiao Xie was the one who had injured the overlord. No wonder…,” said Ma Qihao with a sigh.
Xiao Xie was one of the top 10 disciples on the Dragon Phoenix List. Few could match him in the academy.
“Wu Dong, tell us more. What happened exactly?” Tang Longfei asked.
Wu Dong then narrated everything he had heard from those in the Castle of Darkness. He wasn’t there during the battle. When he had arrived, the battle was already over. After gathering news from the other disciples in the Castle of Darkness, he quickly left and returned to the Overlord Legion. In truth, he was here to personally bear witness to their great overlord. He was one of the newly recruited members and had never met Xiang Shaoyun.
“You’re saying the overlord was matched evenly with Xiao Xie but eventually conceded?” asked Zhuge Zhantian.
“Yes. That was what everyone told me. They actually fought to a standstill, but the overlord seemed to feel lacking in strength to continue the fight, so he conceded. Even though it was a defeat, it was a glorious defeat,” said Wu Dong in excitement.
“If that was the case, the overlord shouldn’t have suffered such heavy injuries,” Shou Xie said.
“Can it be that he had only been suppressing his injuries, and Huang Xiaoyue’s attack had exacerbated his injuries, causing them to turn serious?” Yan Gang guessed.
“That’s possible! Damn that Huang Xiaoyue!” Tang Longfei said furiously. It was at that moment that Huang Xiaoyue arrived with Huang Tianji.
