chapter 2 You don't behave like a woman

Moon City was home to four major families: the Ye Family, Qin Family, Shi Family, and Lu Family.
Eira is the daughter of the Shi Family Master.
A year ago, the Shi Family Master initiated a marriage alliance with the Ye Family, arranging an engagement between Elias and Eira.
Consequently, Eira became Elias's fiancée.
"Eira, you finally decided to come."
Elias's gaze turned cold.
According to memories from his past life, Eira came to the Ye Family this time to break off the engagement.
Since Elias lost his Martial Veins and could no longer cultivate martial arts, Eira secretly formed a connection with Naoki Qin, the eldest son of the Qin Family.
The higher-ups in the Shi Family preferred Eira to marry Naoki, so they encouraged her to come and end the engagement.
The scandal of their broken engagement spread, making Elias the laughingstock of Moon City, and his reputation plummeted.
The Ye Family's Elder Council became even less tolerant of Elias.
After the Clan Contest, Elias was stripped of his Crown Master position and exiled to a remote town.
Later, the other three major families, Qin, Shi, and Lu, joined forces to suppress the Ye Family, eventually destroying it.
Oburu, the Family Master of Ye, fought valiantly but perished.
Naoki and Eira personally pursued Elias, nearly killing him.
Fortunately, the Purple Saint True Lord, passing by at a critical moment, saved Elias and took him away from the Tianxuan Continent.
From then on, Elias studied under the Purple Saint True Lord, diligently cultivating to become a generation's Heavenly Emperor.
"Elias, go back to your room and rest."
Oburu advised.
He feared that Elias couldn't handle it.
"Father, don't worry, I'm fine."
Elias replied with a faint smile.
Eira, in my past life, for the insults you inflicted upon me, I will repay them twofold!
Elias sneered inwardly.
Then...
A woman in pink, accompanied by several servants, entered the hall.
This woman had delicate features, a classic beauty, and an appealing figure—undeniably attractive.
It was Eira.
Upon entering the hall, Eira's gaze immediately fell on Elias, revealing a look of disdain.
Once proud to be associated with Elias, she now wanted to sever ties with this waste of a person as quickly as possible.
She believed her life should not be wasted on someone worthless!
The other members of the Ye Family watched the scene unfold, anticipating the drama.
Every one of them knew what she was going to do.
"Miss Shi, if you're here for Elias, please leave."
"He's injured and needs rest."
Oburu spoke first.
He did not want his son to endure embarrassment.
"No!"
"Today, there are things I must clarify with Elias."
Eira turned her gaze towards Elias.
"Elias, listen up! As the saying goes, a dragon does not dwell with a snake!"
"You're a useless person who can't cultivate martial arts, not even worthy of being beneath my shoes."
"In the future, we are destined to be from different worlds!"
Eira sneered.
"Eira, you've gone too far!"
Oburu was so angry his hands trembled.
However, Eira, being the Shi Family's young lady, Oburu couldn't afford to make things difficult for her.
It would be a case of the powerful oppressing the weak.
Yuuta, Homer, Osamu, and the others all revealed mocking smiles.
"Miss Shi's words make so much sense!"
Osamu chimed in with a mocking tone.
"Elias, this time I came..."
Eira tried to continue speaking.
"Eira, you, an unfaithful woman, please shut up."
"There's no place for you to speak here."
Elias suddenly spoke.
"Elias, did you just call me unfaithful?"
Eira was stunned.
"Eira, we have an engagement, yet you conspired with Naoki, tarnishing your virtue."
"What face do you have to step into the Ye Family and stain our reputation?"
Elias sneered.
"How does he know?"
Eira's first reaction was shock.
She and Naoki did indeed have a secret affair.
Then...
"Elias, how dare you slander me!"
"I'll go back and tell my father, and you'll face the wrath of our Shi Family!"
Eira was furious.
She couldn't admit to it.
"Elias, without evidence, you better not casually slander Miss Shi."
"When the Shi Family investigates, our Ye Family won't protect you."
Yuuta said coldly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Elias moved at an incredible speed, reaching out and snatching a pendant from Eira's neck.
"Eira, this pendant is engraved with the two words 'Naoki.' It's evidence of your affair with Naoki."
"Yuuta, you old dog, widen your dog eyes and take a good look."
Elias said.
Immediately, everyone's gaze focused on the pendant in Elias's hand.
The pendant had two tiny characters engraved on it—Naoki!
If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't notice.
Elias knew about it because, in his previous life, when Eira and Naoki were chasing him, they had shown off this pendant, boasting to Elias!
"You..."
Eira's face changed dramatically.
People in the hall were suddenly enlightened—Eira and Naoki did indeed have an affair!
"Eira, listen carefully."
"Your improper behavior, having an affair with Naoki, seriously tarnishes the reputation of our Ye Family."
"As a promiscuous woman, you are unworthy of me."
"Therefore, I am divorcing you!"
"This is the divorce letter."
As Elias spoke, he tore a piece of his clothes, bit his finger to draw blood, and quickly wrote a line of blood characters on that torn piece.
"Due to Eira's improper conduct and affair with another, I hereby divorce her!"
After finishing, Elias flicked the torn piece of clothing.
It landed perfectly on Eira's face, covering her entire face.
What?!
Elias divorced Eira?
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Oburu was stunned, unable to believe that Elias would make such a move.
"I got divorced in public!"
For a moment, Eira was also dumbfounded, a bit slow to react.
She came to initiate the breakup.
However, she didn't expect Elias to write a divorce letter and end their engagement.
Initiating a breakup and being divorced were two completely different situations!
One can imagine that once this matter gets out, Eira will likely become a laughingstock in Moon City.
"From now on, let's sever ties."
"I hope you won't bother me again."
"Now, please leave Ye Family."
Elias's eyes showed a hint of disgust, and his tone was very indifferent.
"Elias!"
Eira screamed, a huge anger and an indescribable sense of shame causing her face to twist severely.
As the Shi Family's young lady, she had always been high and mighty, like the moon surrounded by stars, and had never suffered such humiliation.
"Elias, you useless person!"
"How dare you insult me like this!"
"I'll kill you!"
Eira's eyes flickered with intense resentment.
She drew a gleaming sword filled with anger and stabbed it towards Elias's heart.
She was at the Sixth Level of Body Refinement, and this strike, fueled by anger, stirred Spiritual Power, creating waves of sharp sword energy.
This sudden turn of events was too abrupt.
No one expected Eira to dare to kill in public.
Even Oburu couldn't save Elias in time, and he couldn't help but feel his eyes splitting open.
"Excellent!"
"Kill this useless person!"
Osamu, Homer, and even Yuuta, all eagerly wished for Elias's early demise, their hearts filled with approval.
Just as Eira's sword was about to pierce Elias's heart...
Whoosh!
Elias's figure flashed, perfectly avoiding the sword.
Then, Elias's right hand suddenly reached out, swift as lightning, precise, and accurate, grabbing Eira's neck.
With a gentle lift, as if an eagle catching a chick, he hoisted Eira into the air.
