180: Chapter 180, My Young Master, is so nourishing!

[Wait, hold on a second.]

[What the hell?]

[Dual Cultivation?]

[Do I look that easy?]

[Who do you think you're looking down on?]

[Daring to try and seduce me.]

He... is that disdain?

I finally gathered my courage.

To... give... myself... to him.

He actually disdains me.

My... body... is... pure.

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi lightly bit her red lips.

"Wow, young master, you have quite the luck. Immortal Emperor Yaoxi is a famous beauty in the Immortal Realm."

"Most importantly, she's an Immortal Emperor."

"Look at that figure, tsk tsk."

Yinshen Jade leaned close to Li Qing, blinking at him.

Li Qing: "..."

"I can't help you. You should leave."

[This Immortal Emperor Yaoxi was tricked by that hypocrite, cultivating the Great Pin Yin Immortal Art.]

[This Cultivation Technique indeed perfectly matches her Immortal Yin Body, allowing her Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, making her the fastest female cultivator to become an Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm.]

[But the original name of this technique wasn't the Great Pin Yin Immortal Art; it was the Thirty-Three Heavenly Dao Devil Lock Yin Art.]

[Her situation should be that after breaking through the Thirty-Third Heaven, her Origin Profound Yin was locked by thirty-three Dao Devil chains.]

[The most insidious part of this technique is that starting from her Breakthrough of the Thirty-Third Heaven, her body automatically absorbs the Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Origin. Yin Qi enters her body and is locked away, incorporated into her Profound Yin Origin, while Yang Qi is expelled.]

[The Yin and Yang within her body is already imbalanced, yet she cannot stop it.]

[Only waiting for her Profound Yin Origin to reach Major Achievement, that bastard can then engage in Dual Cultivation with her, absorbing all her Profound Yin Origin and cultivation.]

[What's even more insidious is that this Dao Devil Lock can also be controlled by that bastard.]

[She is a Peerless Grade Cauldron.]

He... really knows everything.

Why won't he help me?

Am I really so unworthy in your eyes?

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi stared at Li Qing, her red lips tightly bitten.

"Tsk tsk, young master, so nutritious."

Yinshen Jade blinked at Li Qing.

Li Qing: "..."

"Pfft."

At that moment, Immortal Emperor Yaoxi suddenly opened her sandalwood-scented mouth and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her face contorted in pain as she slowly sat down cross-legged, forming hand seals to regulate her breathing, yet her beautiful eyes stubbornly looked at Li Qing.

[Hey, don't look at me with those eyes.]

[You're making me look like a scoundrel who abandoned you.]

[I'm really scared of you.]

[Fine, I'll help. I'll help, okay?]

Li Qing flipped his hand, revealing a Medicinal Pill in his palm, and without another word, fed it to her.

What... is this?

Just as Immortal Emperor Yaoxi reacted.

"Boom."

A terrifying aura erupted from within her body. The thirty-three Devil locks danced wildly, their Devilish Qi actually being stripped away by the great dao.

"This is..."

[A great dao demon-extermination pill.]

[The Dao Devil Lock—if the devil is destroyed, only the Dao remains.]

[And the Dao itself is yours.]

[Without the devil, he can't control you.]

[Congratulations, you're free.]

He actually gave me a great dao demon-extermination pill.

This is a Dao-Grade Medicinal Pill.

There aren't many in the entire Immortal Realm.

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi was shocked.

[I'm leaving.]

[I really am too kind-hearted.]

What?

He's leaving?

No.

You can't leave.

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi's heart grew anxious, and she began to frantically merge with the Dao, focusing her spirit.

"Boom."

Her cultivation instantly broke through to the Middle Stage of Immortal Emperor.

The shackles on her cultivation that hadn't loosened for a millennium were once again broken.

"Boom."

Her cultivation instantly entered the Late Stage of Immortal Emperor.

"Pfft."

At this moment, Immortal Emperor Yaoxi suddenly opened her sandalwood-scented mouth and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

[Damn, has this Immortal Emperor Yaoxi gone crazy? Why are you in such a hurry?]

[If this continues, you'll die.]

"No... don't go..."

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi looked at Li Qing and said.

Li Qing: "..."

[Being in such a hurry... is she afraid I'll leave?]

[Fine, I'm scared of you. I'll wait.]

"I'm not leaving. You continue your Cultivation." Li Qing shook his head and found a spot to sit down.

Only then did Immortal Emperor Yaoxi close her eyes in relief, beginning to expel the Devilish Qi within her body with all her might.

Several days later.

Boom.

Colorful, radiant light erupted from within the cave, its source being Immortal Emperor Yaoxi.

Her cultivation broke through to the Half-Step Quasi-Saint realm.

[Tsk tsk, already breaking through to Half-Step Quasi-Saint.]

[Apart from being sinister, this Great Pin Yin Immortal Art is truly amazing.]

"I... I'm better."

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi was completely stunned.

The nightmare that had plagued her for nearly a millennium was just... resolved like this?

"Pfft."

Suddenly, Immortal Emperor Yaoxi opened her sandalwood-scented mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

[What's wrong now?]

[Could it be that the injuries from before aren't healed?]

[That can't be, right?]

[She's already Half-Step Quasi-Saint.]

"The Yin and Yang Origin within my body... is imbalanced."

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi lightly bit her red lips. Suddenly, divine light wrapped around her body as she tightly embraced Li Qing.

[Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing now?]

[Immortal Emperor Yaoxi, you can't act recklessly.]

"Holy shit."

"Yaoxi, you..."

Outside the cave, Yinshen Jade stared blankly at the sky.

She could have intervened to stop what was happening inside the cave, but she didn't.

Yinshen Jade didn't want to ruin Li Qing's Opportunity. No one understood the cruelty of the Immortal Realm better than she did.

In the Immortal Realm, strength reigns supreme.

Only strength is the ultimate truth.

She understood this all too well.

So, although she felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, she didn't stop it.

She didn't want Li Qing to dislike her.

Several days later.

Yinshen Jade curled up her body, hugging her knees as she stared blankly at the distant sky.

"Swoosh."

At that moment, a stream of light flew out from the cave, transforming into a graceful figure. It was Immortal Emperor Yaoxi.

[Husband, Yaoxi knows you don't like me.]

[Yaoxi won't stay to annoy you.]

Immortal Emperor Yaoxi tightly bit her red lips, directly turned around, and flew away. A few sparkling drops appeared in the sky—her tears.

"She left?"

Yinshen Jade was taken aback.

"Young master."

Yinshen Jade quickly stood up and flew directly into the cave.

At that moment, Li Qing was sleeping soundly.

However, his clothes were intact, clearly tended to by Immortal Emperor Yaoxi in secret.

Yinshen Jade walked over, gently lifted Li Qing's head, and let him rest it on her lap, silently waiting.

Time passed, who knows how long.

Only then did Li Qing slowly open his eyes.

What met his eyes was Yinshen Jade's lovely face.

Li Qing turned his head and scanned with his gaze, but Immortal Emperor Yaoxi's figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Don't look. She's already gone."

Yinshen Jade said, lightly biting her pearly white teeth.

"She left, huh."

Li Qing silently nodded.

"She said you don't like her."

"She didn't want to stay and make you dislike her."

Yinshen Jade told Li Qing what Immortal Emperor Yaoxi had said before leaving.

She didn't want to hide anything from Li Qing.

"I don't dislike her."

Li Qing let out a bitter laugh.

"Then you like her."

Yinshen Jade looked at Li Qing, lightly biting her red lips, then suddenly turned her head away. A teardrop slid from her eye, falling onto Li Qing's face.

Li Qing: "..."

[What? Why are you crying now?]

Li Qing quickly sat up, supporting her shoulders as he asked, "What's wrong?"

"My heart is wounded."

"It hurts so much."

Li Qing: "..."

"It feels like someone stabbed it hard with a sword."

"It hurts, it really hurts."

"Young master doesn't believe me?"

"Feel it for yourself."

Li Qing: "..."
