51: Chapter 51 Wen Hanyue is beautiful, but she's just an ice block.

"I'll take it, thank you, Brother Qing."

Wu Luoluo reached out her jade-like hand and took the white jade bottle back from Li Qing.

Li Qing: "..."

[What's going on now?]

[Could this be the legendary 'a woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea'?]

"Li Qing, you're bullying me."

Ye Lixian glared at Li Qing huffily.

"Huh?"

Li Qing looked completely bewildered.

[What did I even do to you, my lady?]

[Don't think just because you're good-looking, you can just frame me however you want.]

[This Young Master doesn't fall for that.]

Good-looking...

Ye Lixian's heart fluttered.

Hmph, for the sake of your sweet talk, I'll let you off this time.

"I forgive you." The corner of Ye Lixian's mouth curled up slightly.

Li Qing: "..."

[What the hell?]

[These two are acting a bit abnormal today.]

[It couldn't be that time of the month, could it?]

"Sect Master Wu, you should return to your sect immediately to enter seclusion and strive to awaken your Sacred Body as soon as possible," Li Qing said with a smile.

[Go, go, I'll send you away one by one, and soon I'll have some peace and quiet.]

[Heh heh.]

Hmph, so that's what Brother Qing was planning. But he's right, I should go back and awaken my Sacred Body. The women Brother Qing meets are getting stronger and stronger; I can't fall behind.

"Mhm, I'll listen to Brother Qing." Wu Luoluo broke into a smile.

[She agreed just like that?]

[No crying or making a scene.]

[Not bad, not bad. Ambitious girls are the most likable.]

"Hmph."

Ye Lixian gave a soft hmph.

Hearing Li Qing praise Wu Luoluo made her feel a surge of jealousy.

But seeing that the other woman was leaving, she didn't say anything.

Wu Luoluo ignored Ye Lixian, reached out her jade hand to straighten Li Qing's clothes, and said, "I'm heading back to the sect now. Brother Qing, wait for me to come find you."

As a Sect Master, Wu Luoluo certainly didn't lack courage and decisiveness. She didn't dwell on sentimentality; she hugged Li Qing, left a cool sensation on his Face, and then flew off the way she came.

"Remember, shout 'Open Sesame' when you go up!" Li Qing shouted to Wu Luoluo, touching the spot where he had been kissed.

"She's finally gone. Now it's just me and him." The corner of Ye Lixian's mouth curled up slightly.

Next, it would be their world for two.

"Is there anything else you need to take? I'll help you," Ye Lixian said, looking at Li Qing.

"No need. Are you really okay?" Li Qing shook his head.

He had absolutely no interest in the so-called Opportunity.

"Are you worried about me?" Ye Lixian smiled.

She was truly fine. Last time, Li Qing's Innate Yang Qi had healed the wound on her Face, and her Nightmare Sacred Body seemed to have mutated, becoming extremely powerful, allowing her to use all the Divine Abilities of the Immortal Platform Realm.

You really are my lucky star. I, Ye Lixian, will never let you go.

Never.

These words left Li Qing stunned.

[No way, here we go again.]

[I have to find a way to send her away too.]

Ye Lixian's eyes widened instantly.

I only asked one question, and you want to send me away?

You're making me so angry!

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh.*

Just then, several streaks of light appeared in the nearby sky. Not far from Li Qing and the other, figures flickered as Wen Hanyue emerged with several Wen Family Cultivators.

"Wen Hanyue is here." Ye Lixian shielded Li Qing behind her.

[Wait, why are you shielding me? I, Li Qing, am not that weak, am I?]

[You're making me lose Face, you know?]

Oh, that was hasty. I was only thinking about him and forgot that men all care about their Face.

Ye Lixian hurriedly moved two steps to the side, making way.

Li Qing: "..."

Ye Lixian's actions were completely baffling to him.

"Who exactly are you, and how do you know the secret passphrase for the tomb's hidden door?" Wen Hanyue looked at Li Qing with a Face as cold as frost.

"Tomb?"

"Wasn't it a Secret Realm?"

Li Qing smiled.

[This Wen Hanyue is indeed beautiful, but she's truly cold.]

[Long-term Family infighting has turned her heart into a block of ice.]

[An iceberg beauty who is also a female protagonist—must stay away.]

iceberg beauty?

Is he praising me?

Wen Hanyue was startled.

In her Family, no one had ever praised her for being beautiful.

Openly they called her "Young Miss," but behind her back, they called her a cripple, trash, a scheming woman...

But no one ever said she was beautiful.

"You know very well," Wen Hanyue said coldly.

[As expected of the Wen Family's strongest Genius, she's incredibly smart.]

[As smart as you are, you probably never imagined that the thing you've been searching for for twenty years is right there in the Wen Family, right?]

[Someone in the Wen Family holds the item that can cure your Dragon Bone Nine Nether Blood Poison, but they won't give it to you. How tragic.]

What?

Wen Hanyue's expression changed drastically.

The thing I've been searching for for twenty years is in the hands of someone from the Wen Family?

"Who is it?"

Wen Hanyue blurted out.

"What?" Li Qing was a bit confused.

[Weren't you just asking who I am?]

[What's this 'who is it' all about?]

Wen Hanyue was stunned.

I was too impatient.

I'm not close with him. Even if he knows who it is, he won't tell me.

There are no good people in this world.

I'll wait for an Opportunity to capture him; then I'll know after an interrogation.

But I can't make a move now. That beautiful woman beside him is no pushover; her cultivation is likely above mine.

Thoughts raced through Wen Hanyue's mind.

Ye Lixian, on the other hand, gave Li Qing a sidelong glance.

You're probably about to provoke another female protagonist.

"Leave. This is not a place you should be," Wen Hanyue said indifferently.

"Leave?"

Li Qing was taken aback.

[Whoa, the sun must have risen from the west.]

[With this beauty's ruthless nature, she'd let me go, someone who knows the secrets of the Heavenly Tomb?]

[No way, she definitely has bad intentions.]

[But whatever, This Young Master isn't easy to mess with either.]

Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

You really are smart. We'll see if you can still be this confident when I capture you.

"Young Miss, we can't let them leave," a Wen Family Cultivator spoke up to stop them.

"Elder Wen Xi, are you questioning my decision?" Wen Hanyue said indifferently, a cold aura spreading through the Void Realm.

The Elder's body clearly trembled.

"I will report this to the Family's Council of Elders," Elder Wen Xi said in a heavy voice.

"Suit yourself," Wen Hanyue replied with an air of indifference.

[Tsk tsk, this Wen Hanyue is just too solitary. Because of her experiences and the tragic deaths of her parents, she doesn't trust anyone.]

[This has led to her being completely isolated within the Family.]

[Having no followers means having no eyes and ears. No wonder she's later backstabbed by her Family rivals, her cultivation sealed, and thrown into the Heavenly Tomb's Blood Sea as a sacrifice.]

[If she hadn't met the child of destiny, Gu Beichen, inside, she probably wouldn't even have a corpse left.]

[She also fell in love with Gu Beichen because of that.]

[Tsk tsk.]

What?

Wen Hanyue was shocked to her core.

I'll be thrown into the Heavenly Tomb's Blood Sea, and I'll fall in love with a man named Gu Beichen?

How is that possible?

I, Wen Hanyue, will never fall in love with any man in this life.

Men are all no good.

"Oh? How interesting." The fire of gossip was ignited in Ye Lixian's heart.

Only she knew that Li Qing's inner thoughts were all true.

[This Wen Hanyue thought she had found her perfect match and gave her heart and soul to Gu Beichen.]

[However, Gu Beichen didn't just want Wen Hanyue's body; he also wanted her Dragon Bone. A Dragon Bone containing the Nine Nether Blood Poison is one of the Materials for refining a origin dao emperor weapon.]

[In the end, while they were in the middle of Dual Cultivation, Gu Beichen took advantage of her crippled state, sealed her cultivation, and forcibly extracted her Dragon Bone.]

[She narrowly escaped death and eventually became a Fated Female Villain.]

[How tragic.]

"What?"

Wen Hanyue's eyes widened instantly, her Face full of disbelief.
