Chapter 28: Let Go of Disputes and Fight Bai Lian Together!
Yan Yue’s brain was quite hot, so hot that her scalp was numb.
However, in this situation, she found that her thinking speed was a hundred times faster than usual!
The first thing to clarify is –
She was very weak!
This weak is in comparison to An Lan.
No matter from which aspect, her position in Bai Lian’s heart is far inferior to An Lan.
She had even prepared herself for not getting anything in the end.
Precisely because she understood this, upon learning that Bai Lian had gone to slay the Spiritual Path Master for her, she could not control the joy that filled her heart and went straight to Tianyi City, even willingly revealing her true identity at a place inappropriate like Harvests Palace for Bai Lian.
Without knowing the roots, how can she truly convey the love that flows like a tide within herself?
However, the issue to consider now is not this.
Yan Yue pondered on how the weak could triumph over the strong?
Ambush;
Defect to a stronger force;
Or unite with other weak ones to resist the strong one?
As an adult, she didn’t plan to settle for just a sip; she wanted to drink the entire river dry!
Yan Yue has already been doing ambushes like this.
The young comrade, Gong Xuexin, who is thousands of years old, attempted to break into the home of the elderly comrade, An Lan, who is ten thousand years old. Had it not been for the sudden intrusion of the eldest princess, she would have already "penetrated the interior".
Seeking refuge with a more powerful individual is also being carried out simultaneously.
In Yan Yue’s eyes, Bai Lian was the stronger one, but the problem was that Bai Lian’s relationship with An Lan was not ordinary, and relying solely on Bai Lian was not particularly reliable.
Therefore, Yan Yue set her gaze on the eldest princess.
Yes.
The eldest princess interrupted her diplomatic activity with Bai Lian, which was very infuriating, to the point where she wanted to give the eldest princess a couple of punches.
But after considering the pros and cons, Yan Yue knew she couldn’t do that.
Once she displays violent tendencies, she will utterly push the eldest princess to An Lan’s side.
This is nothing but adding insult to injury.
By then, An Lan can completely watch them biting each other with a smile.
[Is that all? To challenge me, you are truly underestimating your own abilities!]
Yan Yue thought that instead of continuing to hold grudges, it would be better to temporarily set them aside and ally with the eldest princess.
There will be plenty of opportunities to "communicate" with Bai Lian in the future, so she wasn’t that angry after considering it.
Hmm.
Her previous idea was not wrong at all. It was said that they needed to unite to deal with An Lan, but before they could deal with An Lan, they first had to deal with Bai Lian!
If they can’t even pass this level of Bai Lian, it would be meaningless to defeat An Lan in the end.
Yan Yue approached the eldest princess and said to her, still in a state of panic, "Actually, you also like Bai Lian and want to do what I just did with her, right?"
!!!
This question left the audacious Bai Lian and the eldest princess completely bewildered.
What did you just do?
You mean making and drinking tea, right?
Wow.
I never expected you, Yan Yue, who looks silly, to say such brave words!
The eldest princess instinctively wanted to shake her head in denial, but Yan Yue held onto her shoulder.
"Don’t try to argue, I can see it clearly in your eyes, the look of wanting to devour her!"
The eldest princess forced a smile and said, "You jest, Master Yan Yue. My regard for Fairy Bai Lian is one of utmost respect. How could I ever defile her?"
Yan Yue sneered, "You’re trying to deceive me, and then secretly go to An Lan to tell on me, aren’t you?"
The eldest princess shook her head gently.
She giggled.
Yan Yue snorted in disdain and only then did she become full of confidence and aggression.
She leaned forward and towered over the eldest princess.
"It is extremely foolish of you to believe that An Lan will appreciate your actions, resulting in her developing favorable feelings towards you and letting her guard down. This is a grave mistake! Furthermore, if you dare to do something like that, I can also do the same, ultimately causing harm to each other, and benefiting An Lan for no reason!"
Bai Lian’s lips curved slightly.
Is it really appropriate for you to discuss such matters in front of me? Aren’t you afraid that I might secretly tell my master?
Very well.
She really dares not now.
Bai Lian vaguely recalls a similar incident in "The Battle of the Gods," although it didn’t involve the two of them. The final ending was an uncomfortable and bloody bad end.
This fills her with great worries.
Currently, everyone seems much more normal than in the game, but given the increasingly complex relationships, who can guarantee that the ending won’t be wrapped up?
"Stop arguing, arguing like this won’t lead to any results," Bai Lian advised.
With a serious expression, Yan Yue turned her head and said, "I’m not arguing with her, I’m reasoning with her!"
"…"
Bai Lian was deeply concerned.
Compared to Bai Lian, the eldest princess appears much more composed.
After all, she never intended to tattle on An Lan in the first place.
Her motive for doing so was merely to use Yan Yue as a point of entry into the inner circles of the Qiongming Peak.
She blinked decisively and asked, "Master Yan Yue, what do you want to do?"
"Of course, it’s to do with… umm…" Yan Yue released the eldest princess and pondered for a moment, "Let me speak frankly. Even if you manage to surpass me by any means, you will still have to face An Lan in the end. I don’t think you would be a match for An Lan, even if your strength surpasses Xu Pan’s, but this matter is not just about strength."
Bai Lian, who was standing aside, quickly interrupted the two, "Master is not that scary. She is essentially a good person."
"Good person, huh!"
Yan Yue glared at Bai Lian with full of resentment.
Even if she continued to share a bed with An Lan in the future, she would never forget such memories as when she crawled under An Lan’s blanket but was hung up on the ceiling beam by An Lan!
This glance made Bai Lian feel guilty.
From the diary given to her by the Blood Tree Patriarch, she knew that her master had indeed done some excessive things.
It seems difficult to make the master apologize in person, and in the end, it will probably be up to her, the senior disciple, to repay the debt.
Yan Yue decisively ignored Bai Lian and said to the eldest princess, "That woman has extremely rich experience in struggles. Don’t be deceived by her laziness. In fact, she is very cunning; few people in the Duxian sect can match her."
The eldest princess unconsciously nodded her head.
Yan Yue crossed her arms and said, "Neither you nor I, nor Bai Lian’s Martial Sisters could defeat An Lan on our own. If you don’t believe me, you can try it."
The eldest princess shook her head again.
Don’t try.
She doesn’t want to be poked by An Lan’s lance!
Yan Yue smiled confidently, "It looks like you admit you have ill intentions towards Bai Lian."
The eldest princess sighed, "Master Yan Yue, it’s not the time to be troubled by such matters. What’s your plan?"
Yan Yue said, "Only by uniting can we overcome this obstacle named An Lan!"
Bai Lian silently raised her hand, "Actually, there’s no need to do so. Master won’t eat people."
Yan Yue’s eyes became even more melancholic.
"Then you go and clarify our relationship with An Lan."
Bai Lian immediately fell silent.
But this time, Yan Yue didn’t plan to let her go so easily.
"Actually, I don’t care about the status. I am not a person who likes to compete. Otherwise, my cultivation base wouldn’t have been stuck here all the time. As long as we can be together, even if we have to meet secretly, I won’t complain. But what do you think will happen if An Lan finds out about this situation?"
Probably I will have all my four limbs broken.
Bai Lian thought.
Yan Yue murmured softly, "This is not just for me, but also for you. Your relationships with your Martial Sisters are quite special, aren’t they?"
Bai Lian lowered her head and said, "I’m sorry."
Yan Yue shook her head and replied, "You don’t have to apologize. It was me who fell for you first and tempted you. I used to not fight for anything, just wanted to lie flat. But for some things, if you don’t fight for them, you won’t even have a chance to lie flat. You’ll only end up with destruction."
Bai Lian never expected Yan Yue to suddenly say such philosophical words.
What would be the outcome if she chose to lie down in this world?
It would probably end up like the ending of the master line in the game, sinking along with the East Divine Land under the powerful attack of the Immortal.
That would truly be utter destruction.
From the flesh, to the soul, to all traces of existence, they will all disappear.
Seeing Bai Lian fall silent, Yan Yue turned to the eldest princess again.
"What do you think?"
The eldest princess smiled elegantly, "Master Yan Yue is a smart person."
This remark caused Yan Yue to become unhappy.
What do you mean by calling me a smart person? I just don’t like using my brain!
For example, now she is being cautious.
"Before officially bringing you on board, I need to confirm one matter."
"What’s the problem?"
"How can I believe that you genuinely want to cooperate with me and that you’re not deceiving me, trying to make me let down my guard temporarily?"
Yan Yue wanted the eldest princess to make an oath.
Only in this way, she could truly achieve balance with the eldest princess.
However, the elder princess had her own ideas.
The progress of the plan went smoothly, so smoothly that it exceeded her imagination.
It was supposed to be almost done at this point, but she suddenly came up with a bold idea!
She is not a member of the Duxian sect, which doomed her to a disadvantaged position.
If she hadn’t suddenly barged in, Yan Yue could have ignored her presence.
She wanted to take it further, to thoroughly bind herself with Yan Yue and thus make up for her innate defects.
So, how can they achieve complete binding?
The eldest princess walked slowly towards Bai Lian.
She had her back to Yan Yue, "Master Yan Yue is right, I do want to do what you did with Bai Lian earlier."
The fox’s tail is exposed, isn’t it?
Yan Yue is very confident in her observation skills.
The eldest princess continued, "Starting a few months ago, Harvests Palace and the Divine Palace where the emperor resides became very quiet. All the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards were transferred away, leaving only us three within two miles of this area. With the protection of the Heavenly Secrets Magic Array, even if we make some noise, it won’t be discovered."
"What do you really want to say?"
Bai Lian and Yan Yue were a bit confused.
Fight?
O(＃￣▽￣)==OO==(￣▽￣＃)o
Suddenly, the eldest princess turned around and smiled enchantingly at Yan Yue.
At the moment she turned back, her hand lightly pressed on the purple satin ribbon at her waist.
With a tug.
Accompanied by a clattering sound, the belt fell off along with her dress.
A stunningly fair piece, even more beautiful than jade, suddenly caught the eyes of Bai Lian and Yan Yue.
The young lady leaned forward and grabbed Bai Lian’s hand, pulling her towards herself.
"Master Yan Yue, with this memory, neither you nor I can turn to An Lan for support, otherwise we will inevitably face severe retaliation. Don’t you think this is the most unbreakable vow?"
Bai Lian, "!"
Yan Yue, "!!!"
A system task appeared before Bai Lian’s eyes.
[Task 1: Loudly refuse (Light Skill+3)]
[Task 2: Accept All Comers (Focus +1)]
Yan Yue seemed to be under the spell of paralysis.
Feeling the sudden rise in temperature inside the hall, she could only stare blankly with a slightly open mouth.
Fortunately, the eldest princess didn’t immediately cross the line.
Instead, she asked again, "Won’t Master Yan Yue come together?"
"I…"
Despite being hesitant with words, Yan Yue’s body leaned towards Bai Lian with unusual honesty.
"Chrip-"
The chirping of insects in the Imperial Garden became more cheerful as dawn approached.
…
December 30th.
The last court meeting before the New Year in Heluo Country was not held because Xu Li, the emperor, didn’t appear.
At dawn, the royal attendants went to the Divine Palace to inquire about the reason, only to find out that Her Majesty Xu Li had stayed at Harvests Palace last night.
Her Majesty Xu Li’s reply was very simple.
"Not convenient this morning, the morning court will be postponed until after sunset."
It can be heard that Her Majesty Xu Li, who recently ascended to the throne, is somewhat unwell. She deliberately lowers her voice when she speaks, like she has caught a cold.
The imperial attendants didn’t think much about it.
Her Majesty Xu Li had just returned from the Taixuan Taoist Sect, having gone through two fierce battles, and was now completely exhausted.
Perhaps at this moment, Her Majesty Xu Li is lying in bed enduring pain.
The imperial attendants truthfully conveyed the information they had obtained to the senior officials in the court.
At this point, she was not afraid that those important officials would have any unusual thoughts due to Empress Xu Li’s injury.
After all, Fairy Bai Lian, who has the name of Immortal Emperor, has always been supporting Empress Xu Li behind her back. Who dares to make trouble, must be tired of living!
Things are going as she planned.
The courtiers who received the news didn’t complain.
Bai Lian’s battle achievement was truly awe-inspiring as she, by herself, fought against two opponents and achieved a complete victory.
Therefore, everyone remained silent and waited at the entrance of the palace.
The imperial palace was desolate, and no one spoke loudly.
The scene outside the palace was bustling, and the atmosphere of the New Year was getting stronger.
Two worlds, two different joys were fermenting.
It wasn’t until another eight hours had passed that His Majesty Xu Li, dressed in a long black robe, stepped out of Harvests Palace with a steady gait.
In fact, it was only the beginning of the afternoon, yet the sky had dimmed a bit.
Standing on the city wall, the eldest princess saw not the numerous courtiers, but the multitude of people outside the city.
In her grasp was a single key, and it was none other than the Gate of All Living Beings.
"If the Gate of All Living Beings doesn’t gather the power of all sentient beings, how can it rightfully be called the Gate of All Living Beings?"
In strict terms, this sacred object cannot be considered to have been forged by Xu Pan.
Initially, the founding emperor of Heluo Country discovered this key by luck.
The key was damaged, but not completely broken.
He mended some of the damages, and then until a few days ago, the divine flame in the key was lit by Xu Pan and Marquis Wu’an.
Therefore, the millennia-old wish was finally fulfilled.
Finally, they could see the true appearance of the Gate of All Living Beings!
After sunset, the eldest princess beckoned her attendants and went to the Audience Hall.
"Time for court!"
The final court session of the year in the Heluo Country was held as scheduled.
The gloom from the Taixuan Taoist Sect dispersed, but the Heaven and Earth Disaster was imminent, and the sky remained so dark that it was difficult to see any stars.
Above the black clouds.
On board the Cloud Chasing Boat.
Bai Lian was sitting on the side with her knees bent, while the lazy Yan Yue lay on her side with her head resting on Bai Lian’s thigh.
The warm breath, like that of the dog grass, occasionally brushed her skirt.
She yawned.
Indeed, she was a bit tired.
She had been "working hard" in the Harvests Palace for a long time. Although she took a break and had some tea, that amount of time was not sufficient.
For her, who is a cultivator, this should not be a difficult task.
But she was also cultivating while "doing the thing".
The Yin-Yang Fusion Technique will bring fatigue before bringing benefits to cultivators.
Yan Yue, as a beneficiary, didn’t escape this outcome.
She now only felt exhausted and as if the bones in her body had turned into water.
The advantage is that Bai Lian, Yan Yue, and the eldest princess’ cultivation bases have all experienced growth.
Now, Bai Lian’s basic skills have reached-
[Hard Skill: 959]
[Soft Skill: 977]
[Light Skill: 951]
[Focus: 943]
All of the basic skills have already exceeded 900, equivalent to the body of a Transmigration Stage cultivator.
After a long time, Bai Lian withdrew her gaze from the dim starry sky.
She speculated that some kind of change was happening in the starry sky, perhaps only Miss Green Emperor knew the truth, but she couldn’t contact Xia Qingqing.
She could only bow her head and gently stroke Yan Yue’s purple hair.
"Get some rest if you’re tired."
Yan Yue shook her head gently, "I don’t want to sleep, I want to savor it again."
"Then don’t sleep."
Bai Lian straightened Yan Yue’s hair, and tied it up in the original style.
The movement was very gentle.
Yan Yue closed her eyes, and her breathing became slightly irregular.
Suddenly, she spoke, "Let me tell you about An Lan’s embarrassing incident."
"?"
"When An Lan first arrived at the Duxian sect, she looked miserable. Although she changed into new clothes, her injuries could not be healed."
"My father asked me to take care of her. Her hand was injured and she had trouble moving, but she insisted on struggling. Eventually, she broke her leg while bathing, and I had to help her finish washing. Haha, she looked like she was going to cry."
"Fortunately, she had already reached a certain level of cultivation at that time, otherwise I would have to help her go to the bathroom. Hehe, I really want to see her awkward appearance when using the bathroom…"
Bai Lian rolled her eyes and said, "If my master hears this, you will be punished."
Yan Yue straightened her neck and declared, "I’m not afraid!"
Just go ahead and blow.
You’ll know the pain when the lance really hits you.
However…
Bai Lian had an idea to visit the young An Lan during that time.
She wondered if using the Past Stele could achieve this goal.
With this thought in mind, Cloud Chasing Boat had already flown over the Qiongming Peak.
Bai Lian patted Yan Yue’s waist and said, "It’s time to get up."
"Why is it so fast?"
Yan Yue complained but still followed Bai Lian off the boat and pushed the door to her room.
They froze after taking just one step.
The candlelight was bright.
An Lan, Xiao Jinse, Su Youwei, and others sat around the table in a circle.
Upon seeing the two people who suddenly walked in, An Lan said, "Since you have returned, let’s sit at the table quickly."
Sit at the table?
Bai Lian was reminded of the low table in the carriage and the square table at Harvests Palace.
At this moment, Yan Yue was even more nervous and unable to utter a word.
Have they found anything?
Really? Can’t be true!
