126: Your Majesty, may I kill this vile woman?

Chu Yuehua continued walking without stopping, saying coldly.

"It is important!"

Qin Wushang said righteously, "If it were a man, there would really be no need to see him!"

"Revered Master, you had best not see him either, otherwise your Disciple will feel sour and jealous!"

Chu Yuehua's footsteps came to a sudden halt. She turned around, her cold eyes like two sharp swords, piercing straight at Qin Wushang.

Qin Wushang felt a chill from her gaze and gave a dry laugh.

"Hehe, I was just asking casually. I... I didn't mean anything else."

Chu Yuehua stared at him coldly, her red lips parted slightly, and she asked word for word, "It is a woman."

"Ah... a woman? Is she as good-looking as Revered Master? Are her legs as long as Revered Master's?"

Qin Wushang asked with a playful grin.

"So what if she is good-looking? So what if her legs are long?"

Qin Wushang was choked by her direct counter-question and said sheepishly, "No... nothing. Your Disciple was just... just purely appreciating, taking a look. I guarantee I will only look and not touch!"

Chu Yuehua's gaze grew colder, carrying a piercing warning.

"If you dare to reach out, this Empress will chop them off!"

Imperial Garden

Exotic flowers competed in beauty, and the spiritual spring tinkled.

Two rows of palace maids stood with lowered heads, their postures respectful.

Inside a pavilion, a young girl sat quietly.

She wore a simple and elegant white dress, unstained by a speck of dust. Her dark hair was like a waterfall, with only a simple jade hairpin holding a portion of it up.

Her Face was peerlessly beautiful, as if she had gathered all the spiritual grace of heaven and earth. Her features were as exquisite as the most perfect masterpiece of the heavens, and her temperament was ethereal and refined, like a Fairy from the Moon Palace descending to the mortal world, untouched by the mundane world.

Only in those clear eyes was there a hint of coldness and alienation that made her difficult to approach.

Sitting opposite her was the female official Qin Yulian.

Ye Li looked at the sky and spoke softly, her voice crisp and pleasant, "Official Qin, does Your Majesty usually rise at this hour?"

Qin Yulian bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Miss Ye may not know, but recently... Your Majesty has had to spar with someone at night, which is quite exhausting, so she rises a bit later."

"Spar?"

Ye Li's slender willow eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a trace of surprise.

"Official Qin is certain that there is someone capable of sparring with Your Majesty?"

"Throughout the entire Great Chu, who else has the qualifications to cross hands with Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, two blushes instantly flew across Qin Yulian's Face. Her eyes flickered, and she said in a low voice, "This... is not for this humble official to say."

At this moment, a clear announcement from a palace maid came from outside.

"Your Majesty has arrived—!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The palace maids outside the pavilion bowed in unison.

Upon hearing this, Ye Li and Qin Yulian immediately rose from the pavilion and bowed to welcome her.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Ye Li raised her eyes slightly, her gaze quickly scanning over Chu Yuehua, then immediately falling on the young man in black hair and white robes beside her, who had a faint, elusive smile on his lips.

He looked decent enough, but his smile was a bit sleazy!

Their gazes met in the air.

A flash of amazement crossed Qin Wushang's eyes.

What a stunning woman, gathering the spiritual grace of heaven and earth!

Her temperament was ethereal, like an exiled immortal. This appearance and figure seemed not much inferior to Revered Master.

【Name: Ye Li】

【Age: 69】

【Realm: Half-step God King Realm】

【Identity: Clone of Great Chu Town Guarding Great General, Grandmother Ye Li】

【Recent Opportunity: Dual Cultivation of Qin Wushang (Cannot be plundered)】

Qin Wushang looked at the golden light screen above the young girl's head, his smile becoming increasingly sunny!

But Ye Li's brows immediately furrowed, displeasure in her heart?

"This person's gaze is frivolous, his smile... is quite lewd! Is this the kind of person Your Majesty wants me to protect?"

"Sit, both of you."

Chu Yuehua stepped into the pavilion and sat in the main seat, introducing directly, "Rebellious Disciple, this is Ye Li of the Ye Family, the leading figure of the Ye Family's current generation, with outstanding talent."

"Ye Li, this is my good-for-nothing Personal Disciple, Qin Wushang. I presume you have already heard of his great name."

Qin Wushang smiled and nodded towards Ye Li!

However, Ye Li did not give any Face at all. She looked at Chu Yuehua, her tone direct and even carrying a bit of disgust.

"Your Majesty, forgive my bluntness, but what did you see in him that made you take him as a Disciple?"

The smile on Qin Wushang's Face stiffened, and he immediately said with displeasure.

"Fairy Ye seems to have quite an opinion of me?"

Ye Li glanced at him, her tone flat but piercing.

"At least you have some self-awareness."

Qin Wushang laughed out of anger, "I find it strange. We are meeting for the first time today; how have I offended Fairy Ye?"

"Why does the way you look at me seem like... like I accidentally saw you bathing?"

Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Ye Li's eyes, and she said coldly and unceremoniously, "I have never seen someone as lewd as you!"

"When we first met, your gaze was restless, which is disgusting! It makes me feel uncomfortable all over!"

She had actually pointed out Qin Wushang's little action of secretly using his Supreme Double Pupils to size up her figure just now.

Qin Wushang's Face flushed, but he refused to admit defeat, arguing, "This... this can't be blamed on me! Who told you that you were wearing an undershirt embroidered with... uh, ducks playing in the water, which was so ugly that it was hard not to notice!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the pavilion instantly dropped to freezing point!

The gazes of Chu Yuehua and Ye Li, like four ice blades, simultaneously stabbed fiercely at Qin Wushang!

Qin Wushang's expression changed drastically, realizing he had let something slip. He quickly waved his hands, "I guessed it! I bluffed! I didn't see anything! I swear!"

Ye Li's chest heaved slightly, clearly quite angry. She turned to Chu Yuehua, her voice cold as iron, "Your Majesty, may I beat this scumbag to death now?"

Qin Wushang also got angry and said loudly, "Fairy Ye, it is not good to slander people!"

"I, Qin Wushang, am a person of integrity. Revered Master knows this very clearly. I am very upright! I am not a scumbag! And I have never been a scumbag to you!"

Ye Li sneered, "Heh, I have also never seen anyone use something as Heaven-Defying as the Supreme Double Pupils for such a base and dirty thing. It is truly a waste of a heavenly treasure!"

"Did you eat gunpowder, damn it?"

Qin Wushang was completely ignited and spoke without thinking.

"You came at me with that nagging right from the start. I didn't sleep with you! Is it necessary for you to be like this?"

Ye Li looked at Chu Yuehua again, her tone firm.

"Your Majesty! I really, really want to beat him to death!"

"When you took him as a Disciple, why didn't you consult me? In terms of talent and cultivation, is my body, Ye Li, worse than his?"

Chu Yuehua rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on, and said with displeasure, "Enough, enough! Both of you, say less!"

"I called you here today, not to have you bickering and quarreling in front of me!"

She looked at Qin Wushang and said in a serious tone, "Rebellious Disciple, this Struggle of the Great Families and the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm are fraught with crises."

"Not only will Chu Tianhai spare no cost to deal with you, but the Qin Clan, Murong Family, and even the Yao Race might intervene."

"You are alone. Even if you are gifted, you cannot fight many with only two fists."

"Ye Li has experienced many battles, and her cultivation has reached the Half-step God King Realm. With her help, you will be much safer."

Ye Li immediately interrupted, her tone stiff, "Your Majesty, I think I might want to change my mind."

Almost simultaneously, Qin Wushang also spoke, "Revered Master, can I refuse?"

Ye Li was laughed out of anger by his attitude, and the pressure of a Half-step God King leaked out slightly, "Refuse? I, a dignified Half-step God King, lower myself to protect you, a mere Divine Fire Realm cultivator, and you dare to refuse?"

Qin Wushang looked her up and down and deliberately said in a tone of disgust, "You are too ugly and not pleasing to the eye! It affects my mood for exploring the Secret Realm."

"What did you say?"

Ye Li stood up abruptly and said angrily, "You actually dare to call me ugly?"

Qin Wushang crossed his arms and looked at her without fear, saying directly, "In my opinion, a person who thinks everything is dirty must be ugly at heart!"

"If I associate with you, I am afraid that my noble and pure character will be polluted by you!"

He paused and added, "Also, I, Qin Wushang, do not need anyone's protection! Especially yours!"
