Beast World: The Crazy Female Is Chased by Five Beast Husbands - Chapter 8

By the lotus pond not far away, Jun Shijun and the others watched as Li Xuanyue emerged from Xihe Palace, accompanied by a tall and imposing man. They all frowned in unison.

Was this another new lover?

The several shijuns couldn’t help but think the same thing in their hearts.

This Xuanyue Princess of the Phoenix Clan was truly indescribable.

She had just welcomed them into her palace as shijuns not long ago.

And now, she already had another favorite by her side.

If anyone said she wasn’t promiscuous, who would believe it?

“Jun Shijun, should we go over and take a look?”

Among the several shijuns, Jun Shijun’s status was slightly more noble than the others.

He was a prince of the Snake Clan.

Unlike them, who were merely young masters from noble families of various clans.

Thus, they all wanted to hear his opinion before deciding whether to go or not.

It wasn’t that they had any particular thoughts about this Xuanyue Princess.

It was just that this princess’s actions were too dismissive of them.

After all, they were princes and young masters of their respective clans.

If the princess wanted to take a new favorite, shouldn’t she at least wait a while?

Bringing a new favorite to her side at this time did she think the shijuns who had just entered her palace were dead?

Jun Shijun glanced in Li Xuanyue’s direction.

“Boring.”

Clearly, he didn’t regard Li Xuanyue or the man beside her, Xiao Han, as worthy of his attention.

After succinctly uttering these two words, he turned and left with his guards.

The other shijuns: “…”

“What did you say? Li Xuanyue drove Lin Yue out of Fenghe Palace?”

In Chaoren Palace, Li Qinghe was shocked upon hearing this news from Ruyue.

“Didn’t she dote on Lin Yue the most? Why would she send him to me?”

“Did you hear wrong, Ruyue?”

She had hidden her true self for so many years.

Her dear sister couldn’t possibly have seen through her.

Unless someone in Xihe Palace had said something to her.

Otherwise, why would Li Xuanyue suddenly drive Lin Yue away from her side?

“Princess, this matter has already spread throughout the entire Phoenix Clan. How could Ruyue have heard wrong?”

Ruyue paused for a few seconds before continuing, “And… the reason Lin Shijun was driven out of Fenghe Palace seems to be because of you, Princess.”

As she spoke these last words, Ruyue lowered her head.

Li Qinghe narrowed her eyes, understanding everything now.

Earlier, Lin Yue had mentioned wanting Li Xuanyue to plead with the Phoenix Emperor on her behalf to lift her house arrest.

It seemed this had displeased Li Xuanyue.

After all who was Li Xuanyue?

The eldest princess of the Phoenix Clan, who might even become the crown princess in the future.

Exceedingly noble.

She had lowered herself time and again before Lin Yue, just to win his favor.

Yet Lin Yue had always been indifferent. Now, he was lowering himself before Li Xuanyue for her sake.

No wonder Li Xuanyue was unhappy and had driven him out of Fenghe Palace.

“Princess, what should we do now?”

Li Qinghe’s prolonged silence was making Ruyue’s heart burn with anxiety.

“Is Lin Shijun really going to stay in our Chaoren Palace?”

Everyone in the Phoenix Clan knew that Lin Yue had originally been Li Xuanyue’s man.

Now, Li Xuanyue had sent the man to Li Qinghe.

This was clearly telling everyone that Li Qinghe was nothing more than a dumping ground for her unwanted trash.

Who in the Phoenix Clan would still address Li Qinghe with the respectful title of Second Princess after this?

Li Qinghe’s dark eyes narrowed. “What are you worried about?”

Compared to Ruyue’s anxious concern, Li Qinghe appeared far calmer and more composed.

“On my sister’s wedding night, didn’t we already drug her five consorts with the Soul Devouring Poison?”

This had been her plan all along.

Even if Li Xuanyue avoided the madness this time and didn’t kill the five consorts as planned so what?

Those five consorts would still lose their minds to the poison. As long as she manipulated things from the shadows,

wouldn’t her dear sister still end up dead at their hands?

“Your Highness means to use incense as the catalyst?”

Understanding flashed in Ruyue’s eyes.

The Soul-Devouring Poison didn’t take immediate effect it required a rare incense to activate it.

Such incense was exceedingly difficult to obtain.

Very few in the Phoenix Clan possessed it.

But that didn’t mean Li Qinghe didn’t have some in her hands.

“Find an opportunity and take care of this.”

With Li Qinghe’s instructions so clear, Ruyue immediately nodded in comprehension.

“Also, if Consort Lin arrives, arrange for him to stay at Zhaohua Palace.”

A ruined man like him wasn’t worthy of living in her own residence.

Still, considering Lin Yue might still be of use to her later,

Li Qinghe couldn’t afford to completely alienate him.

Zhaohua Palace was separated from her Chaoren Palace by just a single wall.

This arrangement was perfect.

It would make him feel valued while ensuring he wouldn’t resent her for it.

“Your Highness, Second Princess’ people have already taken Consort Lin away.”

In the brightly lit Fenghuang Palace, Yin Xin hurriedly reported the news she had just received to Li Xuanyue.

“She’s certainly impatient.”

Li Xuanyue smirked coldly. “She didn’t even wait for him to finish his period of reflection before sending someone to fetch him.”

“Fine. Having him here was an eyesore anyway.”

Though displeased by Li Qinghe’s actions,

Li Xuanyue knew Consort Lin was never meant for her.

Better to send him away now than to keep him close, only for him to join forces with Li Qinghe against her as he had in her past life.

Yin Xin opened her mouth as if to explain something, but ultimately held back.

“Your Highness aren’t you angry at all?”

Yin Xin found Li Xuanyue increasingly difficult to understand.

Li Qinghe’s actions were blatant provocation.

In the past, Li Xuanyue might have overlooked it for the sake of sisterly affection.

But Consort Lin was someone she had once cared for deeply.

Could she truly not care at all?

Had she completely let go?

Li Xuanyue smiled meaningfully but didn’t answer.

Yin Xin was baffled.

“Xiao Han, take these portraits and names I’ve prepared. Find these people for me.”

Li Xuanyue hadn’t spent all this time writing and sketching in her palace just to pass the time.

In her past life, Li Qinghe had controlled her mind with drugs for three long years.

Such poison wasn’t something just anyone could develop an antidote for.

Only by finding Divine Physician Liu of the Hundred Herbs Clan could there be a sliver of hope.

Now, although she hadn’t been under drug control for the full three years,
the medications in her system had already taken full effect during these two years.

If she wanted to break free from this control, she absolutely needed to seek help from that divine physician, Liu.

Otherwise, if left untreated for too long, even without consuming Li Qinghe’s mind controlling drugs,
the existing drug toxins in her body would gradually corrode her nervous system.

Eventually turning her into a bloodthirsty and brutal madwoman.
