155: Chapter 155 The Empress's Personal Tutor, with Dowry Prepared! The Empress, Hiding Outside the Door, Going on a Rage?!

...

Food poisoning last night, spent the whole night in the bathroom. Posting one chapter for now, will write more tonight.

...

Spirit Realm, Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace.

Jiang Yutang turned into a streak of ice-blue light and rushed back to her Sect in a flurry.

The first thing she did upon landing was search for her Revered Master.

“As expected, she's not here!” Immediately after, her eyes erupted with an extremely bright light, and the last shred of doubt in her heart completely vanished!

“It matches perfectly! That enchanting woman in the Hehuan Sect is absolutely Revered Master's true body without a doubt!”

Jiang Yutang took a deep breath, her cold and beautiful face instantly flushing deep red. “Not only did Revered Master personally enter the fray, she even went so far as to reveal the strength of a supreme expert to insta-kill that old monster just to drop me a hint...”

“It seems Revered Master is determined to pull me into this game with her!”

Completely lost in her own assumptions, Jiang Yutang's gaze gradually became extremely resolute.

As the sole disciple of Empress Xuanhuang, she owed her life to her Revered Master.

Since it was Revered Master's command, no matter how outrageous or shameful it was, she would never back down!

Jiang Yutang walked quickly back to her room.

Jiang Yutang took all the wealth she had accumulated over the past few hundred years and stuffed it all into her storage ring.

After 'packing' herself and her entire net worth clean, this ice goddess admired by countless prodigies in the Spirit Realm carried her extremely generous 'dowry' and resolutely turned back into a streak of light, flying toward the Hehuan Sect in the Southwest Wilderness with a blushing face.

...

Meanwhile, outside the Xingyan Immortal Sect.

“What on earth is that dead bitch up to?”

Empress Yanming, Xia Xuanji, floated in the void, holding a supreme treasure in her jade hand that radiated infinite starlight and was of the [Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure] grade—the xingyan fate plate!

She forced a drop of essence blood from her fingertip onto the fate plate and began a forced deduction using Secret Heavenly Arts.

Buzz!

The starlight on the fate plate quickly converged, pointing directly to a spot not far ahead.

“Found you!” A cold smile curled on Xia Xuanji's lips. With a wave of her jade hand, she tore through space and followed the lead.

Sure enough, she discovered the Restriction set by Chu Lingyue.

However, Chu Lingyue had been in such a rush that she hadn't set up the Formation properly. To Xia Xuanji, who excelled at breaking Formations, it was practically defenseless.

Crack—!

To Xia Xuanji's surprise, the concealment Restriction and defensive Formation Chu Lingyue had hastily set up were like paper before her Astral Power, easily torn open!

“Hmm? It broke that easily?” A flash of suspicion crossed Xia Xuanji's stunning face.

They were both supreme experts of the Spirit Realm; Chu Lingyue's Formation skills were definitely not weak. How could she be so pathetic?

“It's a trap! This dead bitch must have laid some terrifying snare inside, just waiting for me to walk in!”

Xia Xuanji sneered inwardly, raising her vigilance to the maximum. Layers of astral protective light surfaced on her body before she slipped through the crack like a thief.

When she saw the scene inside the Formation, the dignified Empress Yanming's eyes nearly popped out of her head!

There was Empress Xuanhuang, Chu Lingyue—usually so high and mighty, pure as ice and clean as jade, as if even looking at a man would dirty her eyes...

Right now, she was slumped on the ground, completely losing her composure!

Her luxurious Ice Phoenix Immortal Dress was in disarray, her fragrant shoulders half-exposed. Her cold and beautiful face was so red it looked ready to drip blood, her eyes were shimmering with moisture, and she was biting her sleeve hard while letting out suppressed moans of desire from her throat!

“...”

Xia Xuanji stared blankly at this scene, her brain going completely empty for three full seconds.

Then, a surge of extreme absurdity and wild joy rushed to her head.

“Pfft... Hahahahaha!!!”

Xia Xuanji could no longer hold it back. Pointing at Chu Lingyue on the ground, she erupted into a fit of unrestrained, hysterical laughter: “Chu Lingyue, oh Chu Lingyue! You, the eternal unmelting iceberg, are actually lurking at my front door in heat?!”

“Oh my, if those old fogies in the Spirit Realm who worship you like a goddess saw this, their eyes would probably fall out! Hahahaha!”

“Xia! Xuan! Ji!”

Just as Xia Xuanji was doubling over with laughter.

Inside the Hehuan Sect in the Southwest Wilderness, Grandmaster Wang's 'morning tutoring' had just reached Perfection.

In the spatial fault, Chu Lingyue's body trembled violently as that extremely shameful and strange sensation finally receded like a tide.

In its place was an extremely pure, supreme Dual Cultivation power!

Her cultivation had actually increased by a fraction out of thin air!

Normally, Chu Lingyue would be ecstatic.

In fact, before being discovered, she had truly intended to pay a high price, offering several heavy treasures to ask Xia Xuanji to help deduce the source of this Dual Cultivation power.

But now...

Her shameful, disheveled state—looking as if she had just been ravaged by a man—had been seen clearly by her greatest lifelong rival, who even mocked her for being 'in heat' to her face?!

If this got out, how could she, Empress Xuanhuang, ever show her face in the Spirit Realm again?!

“Bitch! Shut your mouth! I'll kill you!” Shamed and infuriated to the point of despair, Chu Lingyue went into a berserk state!

Boom—!

A phoenix cry that shook the nine heavens echoed through the void.

Ignoring her disheveled clothes, Chu Lingyue directly summoned her lifebound Spirit Treasure and charged crazily at Xia Xuanji!

“Tch, caught red-handed and now you want to silence the witness? Bring it on, you think I'm afraid of you?!”

Xia Xuanji was not afraid at all. She also erupted with the heaven-reaching cultivation of a supreme expert, swinging her xingyan fate plate to meet the attack.

The two had fought for tens of thousands of years and had always been evenly matched.

However, this time...

“How is this possible?!” Xia Xuanji steadied herself, staring at Chu Lingyue in horror. “Your strength... how did it suddenly become so much stronger than before?!”

Even Chu Lingyue herself was stunned.

She discovered with pleasant surprise that after those few extremely shameful experiences, the mysterious Dual Cultivation power fed back to her had actually made her this much stronger!

The two who were always neck-and-neck—she was now firmly suppressing Xia Xuanji!

“Hmph! It's good that you know my power!”

Chu Lingyue pressed her advantage, her sword point aimed straight at Xia Xuanji's throat, her beautiful face filled with Killing Intent and shame:

“Xia Xuanji! Swear a Dao Oath this instant! If you dare reveal a single word of today's events, I will drag your Xingyan Immortal Sect down with me even if I have to detonate my Divine Soul!”

Sensing the genuine, crazed Killing Intent radiating from Chu Lingyue, Xia Xuanji swallowed hard.

A wise person knows when to retreat; she didn't want to truly fight to the death with this berserk, mad woman.

“Fine, fine, fine! I swear! I'll swear, alright?!” Xia Xuanji helplessly raised her fingers and was forced to make an extremely vicious Dao Oath.

Seeing the oath established and the Heavenly Dao's response descend as a shackle, Chu Lingyue gave a cold hmph, retracted her longsword, quickly tidied her clothes with a red face, and fled through a tear in the void without looking back.

She couldn't stay in this place for another second!

Watching Chu Lingyue's fleeing figure, Xia Xuanji wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, an extremely fervent light flashing in her eyes.

“Coming to my door in heat, and her cultivation actually improved significantly?” Xia Xuanji stroked her chin, her star-filled eyes burning with intense gossip and curiosity.

“This dead bitch has definitely encountered some immense, Heaven-Defying Opportunity! Since she won't say...”

“Hehe, with the xingyan fate plate in my hands, once I go back and deduce it, I'll definitely strip your hidden secrets bare!”
