It was time for lunch. Hua Qiyue cast a glance at Liu'er helping Hua Mengshi down and quietly lifted her brows.
Hua Mengshi was still her tender, feeble self. But she was looking much better than before.
"Sister Princess, are you alright? Your complexion is much better than before. I'm sure you can recover to your former self after some time!" Ji Jing was not a scheming girl. She did not suspect the present Princess Mingzhu, smiling enthusiastically and pulling a chair out for her.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm feeling much better." Hua Mengshi smiled and sat down, glancing tenderly at Hua Qiyue. "My thanks especially to Princess Jinghua. I'm very happy that you bear me no grudge."
Hua Qiyue gently shook her head. "You're too polite, Princess. Nobody would take such unimportant matters to heart."
The company heard her and gave benign smiles. Xuanji and the other men gave Hua Mengshi a meaningful glance.
"Don't move! Both of you retreat, or I'll kill her with one sword stroke!" Hua Mengshi had almost lost her rationality, screaming loudly. Yun Shimo stared at Hua Qiyue, awaiting her decision. Hua Qiyue gave a light sigh. "Hua Mengshi, if Grandma and Father knew how you are, they'd be terribly heartbroken. Have you forgotten that you were the most talented girl in the Changjing Capital? If you hadn't schemed against and tried to kill me and Tianci, you wouldn't have come to this sorry end." Hua Mengshi panted, her short sword pressing against the girl's throat. She had slit the girl's skin a little, and some blood oozed out. "At that time, you were beautiful and generous, gentle and lovely. You weren't jealous of other women. Sure, it was only your appearance, but you still had many suitors. And they were all handsome and suave men," Hua Qiyue said quietly. Her gentle tone left Hua Mengshi in her memories.
"I know. No one has succeeded in refining this elixir. But isn't Bai Qianxue an alchemist too? But I don't intend to let him have this scroll," Yun Shimo said this as he kept the scroll quietly inside his robe. Hua Qiyue paused for a while and said nothing. To Yun Shimo, no difficulty would faze him. She had to see if he really wanted to refine the elixir. If he did, then he would try even if no one had succeeded since the ancient times. Hua Qiyue was guessing inside. Perhaps because Bai Qianxue had refined for her so many Top-grade Magic Pellets, Yun Shimo would try to surpass him with this opportunity to refine an elixir? Pointless comparisons also happen between men. Sometimes, such comparisons can be quite terrible too. After that, Hua Qiyue hired a few brawny men to bury Hua Mengshi. After all, they were sisters. The only thing Hua Qiyue could do was to give her a respectful burial—a proper end.
Just like Hua Qiyue with Yun Shimo in her heart, it would be nearly impossible for her to accept Xuanji after that. "What about you? Don't you like Qiyue a lot? I heard that your father had singled her out as your wife." Bai Qianxue said with a quiet smile, some complex emotions flashing in his eyes. His eyes looked like iridescent pieces of jade. "Let nature take its course," Xuanji said quietly and nothing more. "But nature won't run its course smoothly. After all, they'll be holding their wedding on the coming eighth." Bai Qianxue gave a light smile, his eyes lonesome as snow. "It's hard to win your beloved or to understand and locate them. The saying is right. Some live a lifetime and cannot find their true love. Brother Xuan, regardless of whether you can be together with Qiyue, you ought to count yourself lucky." Xuanji said nothing. Bai Qianxue was right: how many handsome and talented men in this world had
Hua Qiyue also tittered. The Third Elder's face was flushed red. Neither the Second Elder nor Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan had made any indication. In other words, they were hinting that he could act. "Let me teach you, a wild boy, a lesson!" the third Elder growled. Yun Shimo gave a cold snicker. This old man at the Great Completeness of Round Sun had dared to be so arrogant before him. These intellectually disabled people were living under a rock. "Tempest Palm!" the third Elder growled coldly. The light sword in his hand turned into anima energy. As he unleashed his palm, the anima energy turned into a massive palm, hitting out at Yun Shimo forcefully! Yun Shimo raised his handsome brows. Tianci watched this scene with great interest. Anyway, the thing he was most interested in now was fights. Usually, when he had nothing to do, he would exchange moves with Caiqing and Caining for fun. Yet now, when his true strengt
Hua Qiyue was quite anxious, and it was false to say she was not worried. After all, the other side was a Qi Artist at the great completeness of Holy God, only a small step from reaching the Great Deity Realm! Yun Shimo knew, too, that any further delay would do him no good. After all, a person at the great completeness of Holy God would recover his anima energy much faster than he did. Although he had purple energy inside him, it was not much. However, he had a strong constitution. He only hoped to kill Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan quickly in five moves. "Extermination Fingers!" Yun Shimo had been tangled up by the innumerable black threads. But the crowd was relatively relieved to hear that his voice was cold and not weak at all. Pow— The cloud of black fog was blown apart by something, and all of a sudden, it dispersed with a loud noise, darkening half the sky. Millions of threads of whit
When Tianci saw that his parents were attacked crazily and that he was so well-protected that he could not use any anima energy, he was furious. "Shameless western poisonous insect, I'm gonna cut off your flesh piece by piece and roast it to eat. How dare you hit my mom..." Tianci's eyes were blazing with fury. In an instant, a purple glow burst from his body. That glow actually enveloped the black dragon completely! Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan had stood on one side, laughing and watching them with a gloating look. He did not expect that the brat had a strange change in an instant. His body gave out a cold and holy purple glow, which suddenly lit up the whole world. This dusty part of the world suddenly became clear and transparent... "Ouch!" The black dragon, tightly enveloped in the purple holy light, shrieked. As it shook its huge dragon tail, it immediately threw off a lot of purple light, but the latter did not disappear wholly.
Bingyi related the matter once. The faces of Xuanji and Bai Qianxue didn't look so well. They all liked Hua Qiyue, but neither of them could do it like Yun Shimo. Bai Qianxue was a little displeased. "How did he get the prescription of the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet?" "Old Master Murong gave it to him," Hua Qiyue said flatly. Bai Qianxue laughed and shook his head. "If I had been involved, the failure rate would have been much lower, but I didn't know that..." He did not care that Hua Qiyue loved Yun Shimo. If Yun Shimo had invited him to refine medicine with him, he would have done that. After all, if two people refined medicine together, then half the effort could be saved. That made it a lot easier. If a person refined medicine alone, in the end, the person would be exhausted. Failure rates were high if one couldn't concentrate or didn't have enough spiritual energy to support the fina
Steam billowed out from the medicine tripod. The white steam rose, turning the whole medicine refining chamber into a fairyland with mist curling upward. The crowd's eyes widened abruptly because the mist that followed was as gorgeous as the rosy clouds, with an aura of sacredness. Yun Shimo was still standing there. Given the way he behaved, he was trying his best to apply anima energy into the tripod! Everyone knew that this moment was critical! And Yun Shimo instantly took back the anima energy shield and put all the remaining anima energy into the tripod. Boom— After a small noise, a crimson medicine pellet rose slowly from the tripod. However, it was only the size of a thumb, but against the gorgeous clouds, it appeared fantastic! He succeeded! Everyone felt surprised and involuntarily showed a knowing smile. Hua Qiyue took Tianci's little hand, trembling with excitement.
