91: Think carefully before answering

Chapter 91: Think Clearly Before Answering

Li Yunshu sat cross-legged in the main hall, carefully observing the records about suns handbook in the memory orb, hoping to find a method to enhance illusion techniques using external objects.

In the Sword Sect Holy Land, his illusion technique directly entered the second layer due to the illusory spirit flower, which made him more active in his thoughts.

If Comprehension Ability is not enough, Medicinal Pills will make up for it.

As suns handbook slowly turned page by page in the memory orb, Li Yunshu's heart grew heavier.

Although this Divine Physician Sun had extraordinary medical skills, so far there was no record of Medicinal Pills for illusion techniques.

Just as he was about to give up, the words 'bleeding blue' on the last page caught his eye.

bleeding blue!

As the light screen paused, Li Yunshu carefully reviewed this page.

"Azure Illusion Pill..."

With ten-thousand-year-old bleeding blue as the main ingredient, supplemented by more than a dozen hallucinogenic auxiliary ingredients, the Azure Illusion Pill could be refined.

It greatly benefits those who Cultivate illusion techniques.

Li Yunshu read this page very carefully.

Although he found what he was looking for, he now had doubts in his heart.

He had recorded the contents of suns handbook with a memory orb back then.

Although he didn't pay too much attention to the contents and only glanced through them roughly.

But he remembered that the last page was not the Pill Formula for the Azure Illusion Pill at all.

Otherwise, how could he not pay attention to something related to illusion techniques?

It was precisely because he himself was not an Alchemist, and most of the Pill Formulas in it were not useful to him, that he only scanned them with a glance.

But if there really was such a Medicinal Pill as the Azure Illusion Pill that enhanced illusion techniques, he felt it was impossible for him to have no impression of it.

And, it was on the last page.

"I clearly remember the last page was... right, Chengyun Pill!"

At that time, he remembered that the last page was the Pill Formula for the Chengyun Pill, a Medicinal Pill only useful for Mahayana Stage Cultivators.

But now, in the memory orb, the Pill Formula for the Chengyun Pill had become the Pill Formula on the second to last page.

"Did I remember incorrectly?"

Putting away the memory orb, Li Yunshu immediately got up and walked out of the main hall.

However, as soon as he opened the hall door, he saw the Empress standing at the entrance.

Li Yunshu was startled and immediately bowed his head.

He had been too engrossed in what he was reading and forgot that the Empress was coming to bathe at this time.

Shangguan Shuangyue frowned and glanced at him.

"What are you doing in here alone?"

At this moment, Li Yunshu's face was covered by Thousand Faces, appearing as a palace maid, so even Shangguan Shuangyue couldn't see through it.

Just as he was thinking about how to explain, the Empress spoke.

"It was I who told him to clean this place."

Li Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, wondering why the Empress helped him out.

Pei Xuanji stepped into the main hall and said indifferently.

"You all may leave. Just leave him to serve."

Li Yunshu raised an eyebrow, wondering what the Empress meant by this.

Shangguan Shuangyue looked at him, always feeling that something was not quite right.

However, since the Empress had spoken, she couldn't say much more.

She then waved her hand at the palace maids behind her, and after dismissing the others, she stood alone guarding the main hall entrance.

Li Yunshu stood by the hot spring pool, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Your Majesty..."

"Do you like soaking in My hot spring so much?"

"This subject would not dare."

"Still 'would not dare'? I see you're almost treating this place as your own home."

Pei Xuanji, who was unbuttoning her clothes, saw Li Yunshu still standing there, showing no intention of avoiding her, and couldn't help but say.

"Have you seen enough?"

Hearing this, Li Yunshu immediately turned around, not daring to look again.

He just thought to himself: Not enough.

You don't let me look, yet you leave me alone. What kind of logic is this?

Pei Xuanji soaked in the hot spring pool, slowly closing her eyes.

"If the Lightning Tribulation hadn't descended today, would you have stopped Me?"

Li Yunshu's heart stirred, wondering why the Empress asked this.

Did it matter whether he stopped her or not?

After all, a Golden Core Realm Cultivator was like an ant in front of a Tribulation Stage powerhouse.

"Does it matter?"

"I am asking you."

Silence fell in the main hall, with only the trickling sound of water.

After a long silence, Li Yunshu answered truthfully.

"I don't know either."

The Empress seemed unsurprised by this answer.

However, just as she was about to speak, Li Yunshu interjected.

"However, I am very fortunate."

"Fortunate for what?"

"I am very fortunate that I am only in the Golden Core Realm. Even if I wanted to stop it, I would be powerless to do so."

If his strength surpassed that of the Empress, facing this question then would be the most difficult choice.

If he had the strength to stop the Empress, what would he do?

However, he knew very well that his strength would probably never exceed that of the Empress, because the difference between them was too vast.

Pei Xuanji opened her eyes. She hadn't expected Li Yunshu to say that.

She couldn't help but turn her head and look at Li Yunshu's back.

"Then if one day your cultivation surpasses Mine, facing Me, a Demon Realm spy, what would you do?"

"Impossible." Li Yunshu didn't even think, directly denying this hypothesis. "How could that be?"

"I asked what you would do!"

"..."

If one day, my cultivation surpasses yours, I just want to forge a Dragon-binding Rope, and then... Of course, he couldn't say those words aloud.

After waiting for a long time without his answer, the Empress continued.

"Do you know that Humans and Demons cannot coexist?"

Li Yunshu's body tensed. In fact, he had thought of this question from the very beginning.

However, he always subconsciously avoided it.

A Dragon Knight was certainly good, but the conflict between the Human and Demon Realms was fundamentally irreconcilable, and not something a small Cultivator like him could reconcile.

In the past, he had fantasized that if the Empress couldn't Ascend, she would stay in this world and be an empress in peace.

Even if he couldn't be a Dragon Knight, hugging the Dragon's thigh wouldn't be bad.

But from today's perspective, the Empress's ambitions were far beyond this world.

Her determination to Ascend far exceeded his imagination.

"Is Your Majesty trying to destroy the world?"

Pei Xuanji fell silent, then spoke again after a while.

"If one day I return to the Demon Realm, how will you manage yourself?"

Li Yunshu thought for a moment and answered seriously.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. I am still the Young Sect Master of Tianquan Sect. With my Shiniang, my life is safe."

Although Shiniang's thigh wasn't as thick as the Empress's, looking at this world, she was also a quasi-first-rate expert.

Coupled with the heritage of Tianquan Sect, he could still live a carefree life.

With Thousand Faces, even if someone wanted to extract information about Ascension from him, they wouldn't easily find his trace.

Heh—

This answer directly caused the temperature in the main hall to drop significantly.

Pei Xuanji's tone was chilling, and it didn't sound like she was joking.

"Good, then I will go kill Di Bing today."

Cough cough.

Li Yunshu coughed dryly in fright, then realized what the Empress truly wanted to ask.

However, how could a true man, born between heaven and earth, bow to the Demon Realm!

"Born as a human, I will never—"

"Think clearly before answering."

"I will definitely follow Your Majesty's footsteps, step by step."
