34: Chapter 34 Targeting the Qin Family? Gu Changge's Behind-the-Scenes Plan!

But immediately after, the conversation from inside the palace made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Who did you learn this technique from?" It was Qin Yu's voice.

"Replying to Master. This servant girl learned it by reading the Blissful Treasure Tome on my own. It was only so that one day I could serve Master! That trash from the Ye Family doesn't even have the qualifications to glance at me." Han Yueli's voice was sweet and sincere.

Boom! Ye Chen's head buzzed, going completely blank.

That trash from the Ye Family? Was she talking about him? So, in his goddess's heart, he wasn't even worthy of a glance from her? Then all his previous efforts, all that self-indulgent emotion, wasn't it just one giant joke?

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for once again severely damaging the Dao Heart of the Child of Destiny, Ye Chen! Causing him to fall into self-doubt, plundering 500,000 destiny points!]

Inside the Imperial Palace, Qin Yu heard the System notification, and the smile on his face deepened. This was double the happiness.

He put down his wine cup. Looking at Han Yueli, who was still performing diligently, he patted her head. "That's enough. It's time to get down to business."

Han Yueli immediately looked up, her expression changing as she stood up from the floor. She waved her hand to cast a cleansing spell on herself. Then, she took out a black veil and covered her face once more.

In an instant, that seductive woman vanished. She transformed back into the Saintess of the Blissful Demon Abyss who exuded a cold aura. Only when looking at Qin Yu did the deeply hidden humility and attachment in her eyes reveal themselves.

"Tell me," Qin Yu said, leaning back on the soft couch. "Have there been any dealings between the Blissful Demon Abyss and the Gu Family recently?"

Since he wanted to play a big game, he had to thoroughly understand these forces.

Han Yueli knelt beside him. While massaging Qin Yu's legs, she respectfully replied: "Replying to Master. Just half a month ago, Gu Changge of the Eternal Gu Family did indeed send someone to contact our Old Ancestor."

"That Gu Changge is very deep-scheming; he said he wanted to join forces to explore an ancient ruin. In reality, he just wanted to use us as cannon fodder. And also..." Han Yueli hesitated for a moment. But the next second, the demonic mark on her forehead burned. She immediately cast all concerns to the back of her mind.

"Gu Changge is also secretly making contact with people from the Great Yan Dynasty. He seems to be plotting a massive plan, and even intends to target the Qin Family!"

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, his fingers tapping lightly on his knee. Gu Changge? The Great Yan Dynasty? Targeting the Qin Family? This plot progression was indeed just as he had predicted.

Regarding Gu Changge's situation, he had long ago had Li Yuan investigate it. On the surface, this person was gentle and refined, but in reality, he was sinister and ruthless. He was a typical high-IQ Child of Destiny. His own good cousin, Qin Chuan, was nothing more than a dog being used by him!

"Want to plot a grand scheme? Then let's see whose life is tougher in the end." Qin Yu sneered, purple light flickering in his eyes.

"You did well." Qin Yu casually tossed a Jade Slip to Han Yueli. This was an Imperial Rank charm technique he had exchanged from the System shop—Heavenly Demon Dance. It had cost him a full two million destiny points!

Anyway, destiny points was something that came quickly. The wool comes from the sheep, so it was good to improve the strength of his servant. More importantly, he had a great use for keeping Han Yueli!

"A reward for you. Perform well at tomorrow's Son of God Ceremony!"

Han Yueli held the Jade Slip, her breathing becoming rapid. An Imperial Rank Cultivation Technique! He casually bestowed an Imperial Rank Cultivation Technique? This was too generous!

"This servant understands! At tomorrow's ceremony, whoever dares to show disrespect to Master will be this servant's mortal enemy! This servant is willing to be the blade in Master's hand, to cut down everything for you!" Han Yueli was trembling with excitement.

Hum! The tightly closed doors of the Imperial Palace finally opened. The night had grown deep. Ye Chen was still slumped in the shadows in the distance, motionless.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, his whole body jolted as he lifted his bloodshot eyes. He saw Han Yueli walking out behind Qin Yu. Although she was wearing a veil, Ye Chen still keenly felt that his goddess's temperament had changed.

Before, it was arrogance, but now there was an added sharp Killing Intent. Especially the look in her eyes as she watched Qin Yu's back. It made Ye Chen's heart sink completely. He didn't want to just be a live-in son-in-law of the Ye Family. He also wanted to be a live-in son-in-law of the Blissful Demon Abyss!

"Yue, Yue Li..." Ye Chen squeezed a hoarse call from his throat. The voice was very small. But Han Yueli's cultivation was not low, so she naturally heard it clearly.

She stopped and turned her head. Her gaze pierced through the night and landed on Ye Chen. There was no guilt, nor was there any panic, only indifference. It was even tinged with impatience at being disturbed.

Afterward, she withdrew her gaze without a word and quickly caught up with Qin Yu, following him closely. This one look completely shattered Ye Chen.

Pfft! Ye Chen spat out blood again. "Fine, fine, fine! Adulterers! You both look down on me, right?"

Ye Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes gradually becoming venomous. He stared fixedly in the direction where the two had left, wanting to carve this silhouette into his bones.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! As long as I can activate the Sacred Body, as long as I can get that thing... You just wait! This debt, I, Ye Chen, will settle with you sooner or later!"

After saying this, he dragged his severely injured body and rushed into the depths of the night without looking back. He could not stay here any longer. If he continued to stay, he would be angered to death before Qin Yu even had to make a move.

He had to go to that place. That place that was summoning him in his dreams. A Secret Realm said to be where the predecessors of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body were buried. That was his only hope for a comeback.

In front of the Imperial Palace, Qin Yu stopped, as if feeling something. He looked at the silhouette moving quickly in the night.

"Can't take it anymore already? Run, run as far as you can. If you don't go treasure hunting, where will I go to harvest the leeks?"

Qin Yu smiled and paid no more attention to that loser. Because tomorrow was when the real show would begin. Those ungrateful wretches raised at home, and those self-righteous behind-the-scenes manipulators—it was time to teach them a lesson.
