"Mum... why not we hire an a.s.sa.s.sin to kill that b.i.t.c.h and that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Thinking about the seductive Long Red in the garden, an eccentric light was reflected from Hua Mengshi"s eyes. "Kill them, and Long Red will belong to the Hua"s Mansion!"
Second Madame chided her harshly. "Mengshi! Don"t spew rubbish! Hua Qiyue was no longer who she was before. We need to find out who has been supporting her from the back. If we act harshly, we would be in deeper trouble if we provoke someone important!"
Hua Mengshi"s eyes turned red from anger. "So you allow them to bully your daughter and ignore my sufferings?"
Second Madame looked at her lovingly and replied, "Mengshi, a great man will need to learn to endure. Now that we are uncertain about the background of Hua Qiyue, striking ignorantly will only do us harm. Remember, without my permission, you cannot act!"
Hua Mengshi pursed her lips as a huge sense of unwillingness erupted in her heart. However, she still agreed softly in the face of her elder.
Surou"s voice rang from outside. "Madame and lady, I have something to report!"
"Come in!"
Second Madame replied calmly. Surou walked in and was stunned by the cracked pieces on the ground. Second Madame said calmly, "Any good news, Surou? Your lady had just broken a teacup accidentally, take care of it later!"
"Yes, Madame. Lady and Madame, I had heard of news from Butler w.a.n.g that the Medicine Saint Ji family will be coming to the city to find disciples. They will be holding a platform martial arts tournament and the male and female winners will become the disciples of the Medicine Emperor. Furthermore, there will be precious prizes for the winners. I heard that it will be Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice!"
Surou explained delightfully as Hua Mengshi"s eyes lit up, throwing all her unhappiness and gloominess behind the back of her mind.
Not only was Hua Mengshi the top beauty and the most wealthy woman of the capital, but she was also the top female Qi Artist!
Girls were naturally disadvantaged at Qi Art compared to boys, making it many times harder for them to learn. Thus, in Tianyuan Continent, there were few excellent female Qi Artists.
There were even fewer women who can obtain the Oracle Profound standard. Many men found it satisfactory to finish the Dragon Diagram standard.
For women, their goals were normally two standards lower than men, which was the completion of the Oracle Profound standard.
"Mum, this is a great opportunity for me! I had completed Oracle Profound last night. If I do become the disciple of Ji family, it will definitely add glory to Hua"s Mansion!"
Hua Mengshi explained delightfully and even Second Madame nodded profusely, with joy filled up in her eyes. "Not bad! Not bad! Having completed Oracle Profound standard so fast! Little Shi, you are indeed my pride!"
Second Madame had a satisfying smile lingering at her lips and a mocking look in her eyes. "Hua Qiyue, you"d definitely be dead this time regardless of which supreme master helping you!"
That was because that Hua Qiyue was a loser that had no chance in a platform martial arts tournament. Hua Mengshi would reap all the benefits.
The good news brought by Surou made Second Madame and Hua Mengshi feel much better. They immediately asked the servants to prepare fruits for them to enjoy under the moonlight.
Hua Qiyue heard the news too. That was a piece of excellent news to her too.
"That"s great! I"ll require one month to release the toxins, and the tournament starts in half a month..." Hua Qiyue smiled lightly, full of confidence in her eyes.
Lv Xin and Youshui were, however, filled with worry and concern. They knew that Hua Qiyue knew nothing about Qi Art and would be impossible to win in the tournament.
Tianci was full. Touching his round belly, he rubbed his tiny face with the sleeves of Hua Qiyue.
"Tianci, be good. Play with Aunt Lv Xin first, mum needs to rest."
Tianci nodded obediently. Lv Xin stopped Hua Qiyue and asked, "Lady, are you not feeling well?"
Lv Xin and Youshui were all loyal servants of Hua Qiyue who stayed with her even in her most difficult days.
Thus, her resting early for a few consecutive nights raised suspicion for Lv Xin and Youshui.
Hua Qiyue shook her head and replied, "I"m fine. Just accompany Tianci to read and write, and shower him later."
She was a little guilty on the inside. Even though she was reborn, she had no time to accompany Tianci.
Hua Qiyue knew that in this strong nation, she would become more powerful with Long Red. When she becomes really powerful, any incidences and any master could do no harm to Tianci.
Seeing that Hua Qiyue entered the inner room, leaving only her shadow behind, Lv Xin and Youshui looked at each other and sighed, bringing Tianci outside.
Tianci drank Long Red Gingsen chicken soup for two days and became much more energetic. The scars on his face became faded as well.
It seemed that Long Red was indeed an excellent product, making Tianci chubbier in merely two days.
Hua Qiyue walked into the room and changed into her pajamas before lying down, entering the mysterious world with her green jade gourd.
This time, she smelled the overwhelming fragrance as she entered. Frowning, she realized that her seeds had blossomed into flowers that were competing in their beauty and leaves that complemented them.
Hua Qiyue also realized that the sky became less red than before compared to the crimson color before as if it had been washed.
The soil was not as red as before as green gra.s.s began growing on it. Looking at them, it seemed as if she was on a gra.s.sland.
Hua Qiyue immediately remembered the painting gifted by Second Madame. When she looked at it, she found it extremely eccentric, as if the horses were moving in it.
"Hmpt!" While she was lost in her train of thoughts, an unhappy grunt by a man came into her ears.
Lifting up her seductive gaze that was as beautiful as an azure lake, deep and silent, the figure of a man was reflected into her eyes. His red body was like red sand on a jade plate, extremely picturesque.
Tianpi was lying lazily on a huge rock, with gra.s.s under the ground he was sitting at. He had a root in his mouth and unhappiness shown in his eyes.
"He seemed to be unhappy?"
Hua Qiyue smiled and approached him.
Your words changed according to who you were talking to. Having been reborn, Hua Qiyue deeply recognized the need for connections and the need to resolve conflicts between individuals.
Tianpi was important to her now and thus she needed to flatter him. Thinking about this made her look down on herself.
"Master, I"m here! See, I bought a watermelon for you!"
Hua Qiyue sent the watermelon in her hands to Tianpi. That watermelon was originally in her room.
Now that money was no longer an issue, fruits were placed everywhere. Lv Xin was worried that Tianci and Hua Qiyue would be thirsty when they wake up in the middle of the night, and thus she placed a few large watermelons in the room.
Tianpi glanced at the watermelon in Hua Qiyue"s hands, smirked, and turned his head away from her.
"Yo!"
"He is really angry!"
Hua Qiyue laughed like a Buddha as she continued, "Master, what"s wrong? What happened?"
Hua Qiyue put the watermelon down and cut it open with the knife next to her into large pieces before pa.s.sing one of them to Tianpi.
Tianpi was stunned. Looking at the juicy watermelon, he immediately took a bite.
Hua Qiyue"s face turned green. "Does this handsome man expect me to feed him?"
Tianpi chewed a few times and could feel the sweetness and juiciness of the watermelon. He waved his hand and all the watermelon pieces flew up onto his hands as he ate one after another.
The watermelon skins were thrown away to another place.
Tianpi"s evil and seductive smile showed that he was throwing a tantrum. Hua Qiyue blinked her eyes, trying to recall if anything she did had offended him, but to no avail.
After finishing the watermelon, Tianpi wiped his mouth satisfyingly. However, he closed his eyes, choosing not to look at Hua Qiyue.
Hua Qiyue blinked her eyes, unsure of what was wrong with Tianpi.
"What did I do today?"
"I only brought Tianci to Prince Nan to seek treatment before seeing some men... Ho ho, could it be that Tianpi was jealous?"
Hua Qiyue felt strange as she was only a normal disciple of Tianpi, a relationship based on material benefits, which made it strange that Tianpi developed feelings for her so quickly.
What then was wrong with Tianpi?
Tianpi closed his eyes as his breathing grew less and less fluent. He could only listen to Hua Qiyue"s actions outside but was unable to see her.
When Hua Qiyue landed herself on Prince Nan Yun Shimo, he could hear clearly of what happened. He was also clear that their master-disciple relationship was based solely on making use of each other, as they had only seen each other for a few times.
"Why am I then angry about her actions?"
"Anyways, I don"t want to talk to her when I see her." Such a silent treatment was light but suitable for their relationship.
However, that was abnormal in Hua Qiyue"s eyes.
"Master, what is wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? Let your disciple check you out!" Hua Qiyue said playfully. She was a cute and energetic girl in her previous life before her character was slowly altered by the busy life of being a businesswoman.
However, in this life, she was no longer the wife of a businessman, only a woman who needed to protect her child.
A woman who needed to be strong.
Hua Qiyue reached out her tiny hand, placing it on Tianpi"s forehead.
Tianpi could only feel that the hand was like a warm and soft dough, soft and gentle...
The placement of the hand made his heart skip a beat as he pushed away Hua Qiyue"s hand. "What are you doing?"
Tianpi sat up angrily as he hid his embarra.s.sed and anxious look. He had not been in contact with a woman for hundreds of years, and had never been so close to a woman even before entering the green jade gourd.
"So this is how a woman"s hand feels like..."
Hua Qiyue moved her hands away as Tianpi sat upright, blushing like dawn had descended on his face.
"You are not feverish, then why is Master unhappy?" Hua Qiyue"s eyes shone with explosive joy that resembled fireworks. "Were you unhappy to see me lay myself on Prince Nan?"
Tianpi jumped up. "Bullsh*t!"
"Then why are you unhappy?"
The corner of Tianpi"s mouth twitched as he worked hard to squeeze out a smile. "I"m not happy. It"s a misunderstanding."
He was shocked that he said that. In his 700 years of reign in the world, no one had forced him to hide his true intentions other than the four old ghosts.
He had lost himself suddenly in the face of this woman.
Hua Qiyue blinked again and sat down next to the man. "Master, Tianci requires Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice. Do you have the seeds for that magical medicine?"
