Mrs. and Mr. Smith -
Chapter 2156
Chapter 2156: Chapter 2156: Peach Blossom Island Chapter 2156: Chapter 2156: Peach Blossom Island Seeing the expression on her face, one couldn't help but feel heartbroken, while Liam Garrett silently stood by her side.
“Liam, I'm sorry for involving you.” After a while, Emily Taylor suddenly spoke.
Liam shook his head and continued, “I'm afraid we've caused a huge trouble this time. It will be difficult for Ethan Smith to pass this test.”
Mentioning Ethan Smith, a hint of unbearable pain flashed across Emily Taylor's face.
Of course, she knew what the failure meant. Now that the Taylor family had set their hearts on taking action against her, the negotiation in a few days would definitely be unfavorable for Ethan Smith.
At that moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside the two of them.
Seeing the person, Liam Garrett quickly bowed and said, “Greetings, Holy Lord.”
Emily Taylor sat there without any reaction, not even bothering to acknowledge.
“This whole mess started because of your carelessness.” At this point, Finlay Taylor suddenly spoke coldly.
Liam's face changed slightly, but he dared not to argue.
“If it weren't for your carelessness, the events that followed would not have happened.” Finlay Taylor continued.
Liam solemnly said, “It's all my fault.”
Finlay Taylor slowly raised his hand and said, “In consideration of your years of service to the Taylor family, I'll spare your life. However, you cannot escape your punishment. Starting tomorrow, you will go into the sky prison for a hundred years.”
Upon hearing this, Liam's face didn't look too well, but he dared not to defy the Holy Lord's will and could only bow and say, “I understand.”
“If you're going to put Liam in the sky prison, then lock me up as well.” Emily Taylor suddenly said coldly.
Finlay Taylor's eyebrows furrowed and said, “Do you know how much trouble you've caused? You've disgraced the Taylor family!”
“Yes, that's why I'm asking you to lock me up in the sky prison.” Emily Taylor sneered.
Finlay Taylor's face held a tinge of anger, but he was helpless against Emily.
After hesitating for a moment, Finlay Taylor said in a deep voice, “I can let him go, but I have a condition. You will not attend the negotiation tomorrow.”
It was clear that this was Finlay Taylor's purpose.
However, unfortunately, Emily Taylor wouldn't buy it. Without any hesitation, she refused, “I don't agree.”
“Then let him go to the sky prison!”
“I don't agree either!”
Finlay Taylor opened his mouth, secretly cursing in his heart.
This girl was truly too domineering!
What's more infuriating was that he had no way to handle her.
After a moment of silence, Finlay Taylor snorted coldly and left with a wave of his sleeve.
After leaving Keelbour Mountain, an elder approached Finlay Taylor and said with clasped hands, “Holy Lord since it's like that, why not take the saintess with us?”
Finlay Taylor glanced at him and then said coldly, “If I take her along, it will definitely lead to disaster. It's impossible to kill Ethan Smith in front of her.”
The elder laughed and said, “Holy Lord, why not try a different approach? Do you think Ethan Smith will cooperate? If he doesn't, then Dean Garner will surely protect him.”
Finlay Taylor frowned, not speaking, and waited for his follow-up.
The elder continued, “We can use the saintess to threaten Ethan Smith into accepting all our conditions…”
Upon hearing this, Finlay Taylor's face turned cold, and he immediately shouted, “Nonsense! Do you want to use Emily as a bargaining chip?”
Seeing Finlay Taylor's anger, the elder quickly knelt down and remained silent.
Finlay Taylor snorted coldly without saying anything more, and then he turned around and left.
Soon, the day of the negotiation arrived.
On this day, representatives from almost all major sects arrived at Peach Blossom Island, including many sect lords.
At the same time, Ethan Smith was following Dean Garner to Peach Blossom Island.
Peach Blossom Island, although the name was quite elegant, it was surrounded by an endless desolation.
From time to time, a strange smell wafted through the air, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ethan Smith stood beneath the Peach Blossom Island, looking around at the environment, furrowing his brows.
“Is the Prince of Holmes really arranged in such a place…” Ethan Smith murmured softly.
Dean Garner glanced at Ethan Smith and said, “Take care of yourself first. This negotiation will be far from simple.”
Ethan Smith nodded and followed Dean Garner onto Peach Blossom Island.
Although the environment around Peach Blossom Island was very poor, the scenery on the island was quite beautiful.
Peach Blossom Island was like a treasure abandoned in the endless chaos, surrounded by desolation and solitude. But the island was filled with the vibrancy and hope of spring. At the center of the island, a huge mountain range stood tall, and at first glance, you could see the peach blossom forests around the mountain range, colorful and dreamy.
However, upon closer inspection, Ethan Smith realized that these flowers and plants seemed to be artificially planted and cultivated with qi, not naturally grown.
This was enough to prove that this place, which appeared to be a fairyland, was actually a pure prison used to monitor and imprison the Prince of Holmes.
Looking up, Ethan Smith saw numerous magical artifacts scattered throughout the sky, emitting a mysterious aura, as if they could launch a lethal attack at any moment.
Ethan Smith's frown deepened, and the situation of the Prince Holmes might be even more difficult than he had imagined.
As they continued forward, they saw a number of graceful figures, with hundreds of women on the island!
These women were wearing thin clothing, holding various tools in their hands. Some held brushes and were writing on bamboo slips beside the path. Each word flowing from their brush was filled with elegance and grace, as if dancing.
Some held a pipa and played it alone in the peach blossom forest, the sound of the pipa echoing across the island like a melodious spring. Others held swords, dancing with them, their sword aura sharp. As the peach blossom petals were blown away by their sword qi, they looked like goddesses at that moment.
Regardless of what activities these women were engaged in, they all exuded an elegant and mysterious temperament. Their skin was as white as snow, their hair like clouds, like celestial beings descended to the world. However, their eyes revealed a deep melancholy and loneliness, making one want to get close and comfort them.
It was no exaggeration to say that these women were all extraordinary, carrying a captivating charm about them.
Obviously, their purpose was to conceive a child with the Prince Holmes so as to take control of the magic coins.
“The nine aristocratic families really spared no effort in trying to seize control of the magic coins,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.
At this moment, the Prince of Holmes, accompanied by two elderly men, came before Ethan Smith.
“Greetings, Dean Garner…” The Prince of Holmes bowed slightly, showing respect to Dean Garner.
Dean Garner responded with a gesture, “Your Highness, there's no need for formalities.”
Although the current Holmes Dynasty had fallen, Dean Garner still showed him enough respect.
