Great Love Immortal Venerate: Why are all my fairies yandere?-Chapter 470 - 256, The Bet with Shi Ruoyu
Chapter 470: 256, The Bet with Shi Ruoyu Chapter 470: 256, The Bet with Shi Ruoyu Until the door with mountain and river cloud patterns closed with a sound, Liu Ruoxue’s gaze withdrew from it.
The night was serene and beautiful, with the ancient sword Ruoshui gently trembling as if to comfort her.
Liu Ruoxue, clad in snow-white, had a face as radiant as ice and crystal, shimmering with a tranquil beauty in the moonlight.
She focused her attention and held her breath, slowly stepping towards the Jade Vial on the table.
“Heh.”
As Liu Ruoxue picked up the Jade Vial, her slender fingers caressed it, tracing three characters from the Liuli vial: “Yang Pill.”
What did it mean for this person to give her such an elixir?
Could it be that there was something wrong with the elixir?
She pondered for a moment, uncorking the vial and letting her Divine Sense flow into it, analyzing the pill inside.
...
No problems at all?
Liu Ruoxue was somewhat surprised; she hadn’t expected such a result.
Had she been mistaken?
Liu Ruoxue slowly shook her head.
If it had been a divine-grade elixir, it would have been one thing, but she did not detect any unfamiliar ingredients or anything else inside.
So, clearly, there was likely no significant issue with this bottle of elixir.
Or rather, there was a problem.
But she couldn’t see it.
And, given her knowledge of elixir theory, this was obviously quite unlikely.
“What exactly does it mean?”
Liu Ruoxue murmured with a frown, not quite understanding Jing Lixue’s intentions.
Could it be that she was truly wishing the two of them well?
“Heh, that certainly would be impossible.”
This thought only flitted through Liu Ruoxue’s mind for a moment before she cast it aside.
Jing Lixue truly wishing her well?
That would be the day when pigs flew.
However, her actions did give Liu Ruoxue quite a bit to think about.
“Her medicine can’t be used, but I have my own, and that’s enough.”
Liu Ruoxue thought to herself.
Not only that, but she also thought of an excellent way to get revenge.
If she exhausted his strength the next evening, then no matter what schemes the other woman had, it would be futile the night after.
Regardless, she must exhaust his strength tomorrow night.
The colors of the night grew dimmer as she calmed the waves in her heart, patiently awaiting the arrival of the next day.
On the other side of the imperial city, in the quietude, the sound of exquisite music began to play.
The shadows reflected and magnified on the wall continuously changed shapes.
The voice of a young girl, enduring with difficulty, was like a string taut to its breaking point, giving off the sense that it might snap at any moment.
Beads of sweat dropped and shattered on the stone bricks, breaking into twinkling crystals.
Water fell through the night, and dawn broke.
As the first light of dawn pierced the darkness like sword Qi, Chu Bingyan lay on the bed with her eyes closed, slowly stabilizing the energy within her.
Chaotic, yet full, her struggle had seemingly opened the bottleneck that had been restraining her cultivation.
Surely, she felt, she would break through to the later stages of Core Formation before long.
“This feeling…
is truly addictive.”

Only the sweat-soaked bedding remained at her side.
She turned over, lying on it and took a deep breath.
That intense and familiar scent caused her legs and lower abdomen, which should have already been calm and steady, to spasm.
…
When Xu Yuan pushed open the palace doors, Jing Lixue was seated on the exquisitely carved throne, silently going through petitions, occasionally picking up a Jade Pen to annotate and write comments.
“You’re back, was Yan’er of any use?”
She looked up smilingly, as if she had already known.
“Cough cough.”
Xu Yuan coughed quietly, his expression becoming somewhat embarrassed.
“I haven’t seen her for so long, so I reconnected a bit emotionally.
After all, behind her is Heavenly Machine Tower, a force that can be controlled after all.”
Jing Lixue blinked, didn’t expose him but just smiled lightly and said, “Are you hinting at something, Xu Yuan?”
“Hint at what?”
Xu Yuan was astonished.
“Once I become the Divine Empress, I should indeed keep some distance from Heavenly Machine Tower.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
Xu Yuan didn’t expect that his offhand remark would be interpreted this way.
“But it’s best if you did mean it.”
Jing Lixue approached, straightening his disheveled clothing, and said, “As the Divine Emperor, you should indeed exude an image of mystery and unpredictability so that those ministers wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
After all, people are the same; they fear power, not morality.”
“Isn’t my cultivation enough to intimidate them?”
Xu Yuan was curious; before transmigrating, he had actually learned quite a bit about palace affairs.
But he hadn’t expected things to be even more complicated than he imagined.
“Mortals may submit to cultivators, but over time, as they interact with cultivators and the mysteries surrounding them are gradually uncovered, the situation naturally changes.
Especially in circumstances where pulling one hair affects the whole body, and cutting one leaf might topple the whole tree, they know that to maintain the daily running of the vast city of Dawn City, they are indispensable.”
“So that’s why?”
Xu Yuan frowned, “This is so troublesome.
Rather than this, it’d be better to just execute a group of them periodically.”
“…”
Jing Lixue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This might just be the difference between her and Xu Yuan.
When faced with a situation so tangled it’s knotted into a lump,
her first reaction was to slowly unravel it, whereas Xu Yuan preferred to cut decisively through it with one stroke.
“It’s fine, you can just be a figurehead as the Divine Emperor.”
Jing Lixue stated plainly, “Leave the rest to me.”
“Alright then.
How did things go with Ruoxue?”
Xu Yuan asked again.
“What do you think?”
Jing Lixue said with a beaming smile, “If we hadn’t come to an agreement, would I still be here right now?”
