Chapter 1250 — Joy Falls from the Heavens

Shen Mu raised a hand and pointed. The red-robed woman laughed: "Not I. I am old and faded, my beauty that of a frail willow — and I am the Nether Emperor's consort besides, hardly fit to enter a Heavenly Master's eye."

Shen Mu laughed: "Green, green the collar of my love; deep, deep the longing in my heart. But for your sake I have mused and sighed until this day. If Yin Tianzi will not part with you, then I shall have to do away with him and take the lady by force."

The red-robed woman burst into a titter. Her jade fingers, white as scallions, reached out slenderly toward him as she laughed: "For a woman's sake, a Heavenly Master slays a great minister of the Heavenly Court — men will wag their tongues at your back, I fear. This handmaiden would not be the one to burden the Heavenly Master with an ill name."

She was a whole pond's width from Shen Mu, yet her jade finger came straight to the center of his brow.

Shen Mu, smiling, sat there without stirring.

As the red-robed woman's fingertip neared the vertical eye in his brow, Shen Mu opened the eye at the center of his forehead.

That woman Yu Wufei's slender jade finger burst asunder in an instant, flesh and blood melting away, leaving only a bone!

Yu Wufei was shocked and furious. With a roar of rage she sprang up, her red robes like fire!

And around her those delicate women likewise rose into the air and ranged themselves behind her — heroic and dashing, gripping all manner of divine weapons and sharp blades, reeking of murderous intent, standing fast within her heavenly palace!

Shen Mu laughed aloud. The throne beneath him crashed down into dust: "A man's three great joys — a promotion, a fortune, and a dead wife! It seems great joy is about to come knocking at Yin Tianzi's door!"
