Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 35
Chapter 35: Ye Qingshuang: You Say My Pill Is Trash?
On the street corner, a young figure ran quickly, appearing very urgent.
Upstairs, Ye Yu looked at the person, giving a faint smile.
“I remember this person is the Crown Prince of the Wu Empire, right? You just want to lure him out? ” Beside Ye Yu, Qin Ruoxian spoke.
Ye Yu glanced at Qin Ruoxian in surprise.
Feeling Ye Yu’s gaze, Qin Ruoxian’s lips twitched, saying, “I’m not stupid. ”
“Not entirely, whether Wu Lei comes or not doesn’t matter. Of course, it’s best if he comes, but if he doesn’t, Liu Ruyun won’t have a good end either. ” Ye Yu chuckled lightly.
“I don’t remember you having a good relationship with him when you were the Crown Prince? Why are you scheming against him now? ” Qin Ruoxian asked in some confusion.
Liu Ruyun, that woman, is no good person; once she latches onto someone, it’s no joke.
Ye Yu’s whole scheme was to get Wu Lei and Liu Ruyun entangled.
“Back then, it was in Great Yan. The Wu Empire was not a neighboring country; naturally, we had to appease them. But now, I am the Great Qin Prince Consort, and naturally, I must consider you. ” Ye Yu looked at Qin Ruoxian tenderly.
Qin Ruoxian’s face flushed, but she nodded, understanding the stakes.
They are not only cultivators but also members of the Imperial Family. Sometimes, they often neglect court affairs because of cultivation.
“Liu Ruyun is now helpless, and Wu Lei is the Crown Prince of Wu. She will naturally cling to this big tree. If the Crown Prince is immoral, the court will be in chaos, and then we can send troops to conquer the Wu Empire. ”
Ye Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he grinned.
“Alright, rest and regulate your breath. The Secret Realm will open tomorrow; get a good rest. ” Ye Yu patted Qin Ruoxian’s head, no longer interested in watching the show, and turned to leave.
Back in his room, Ye Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, suppressing his spiritual energy.
The small cauldron’s speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth spiritual energy is much faster than that of the Sacred Spiritual Root.
After more than half a month, the spiritual energy Ye Yu had accumulated was enough for him to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
However, Ye Yu was not yet confident in condensing a high-grade Nascent Soul, so he continued to suppress his spiritual energy and slow down his cultivation speed.
Early the next morning, news came that the spatial storm outside the Secret Realm was gradually receding and about to dissipate.
The next moment, streams of light soared into the sky from Frontier City, heading straight for the center of the Barren Wastelands. The originally bustling Frontier City once again became desolate.
In the center of the Barren Wastelands, countless dark spatial rifts were visible to the naked eye, with endless storms blowing out from them, but they were much smaller than in the previous few days.
In the center of those spatial rifts, a light circle was clearly visible—that was the passage into the Secret Realm.
At this moment, the outer perimeter was filled with people, and all the forces tacitly kept a distance from each other.
Looking at the light circle, Ye Yu inexplicably felt a sense of unease. He reached out and took Qin Ruoxian’s small hand, whispering, “I feel something is wrong. Stay close to me later. ”
Qin Ruoxian nodded sweetly.
Liu Ruyun, not far away, watched the couple’s appearance, her teeth itching with anger. She really wanted to tear Ye Yu and Qin Ruoxian apart, but she also knew her own strength was insufficient.
“Sister Ruyun, I have a way to increase your cultivation speed. Do you want to try it? ” Seeing Liu Ruyun’s expression, Ye Xuan guessed her thoughts and immediately spoke.
“Little Xuan, younger brother, really? ” Liu Ruyun widened her eyes.
Ye Xuan glanced around, quietly took out an ancient text from his bosom and handed it over. The book clearly read, Bl00d Refining Technique.
Ye Qingshuang, standing to the side, did not notice the two’s small actions. Her gaze was fixed on Ye Yu, her expression somewhat complicated.
Because the Great Qin Dynasty had made Ye Yu take a detour, she had only just arrived at Frontier City. After arriving, she rushed here without having the chance to speak to Ye Yu.
“It seems I’ll only have a chance to talk to you properly after entering the Secret Realm,” Ye Qingshuang muttered to herself, then withdrew her gaze.
But the next moment, a change occurred. After the spatial storm weakened, the passage emitted a dark green miasma, carrying a strong smell of bl00d, spreading out.
The cultivators who were close by were tainted by this miasma, and immediately let out a series of shrill screams, then their bodies instantly turned into a pool of bl00d.
Seeing this scene, everyone gasped and retreated sharply.
Several Nascent Soul Stage Protectors acted simultaneously, their spiritual energy splashing out, attempting to dissipate the miasma.
However, it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no effect.
“This is… Bl00d Origin Miasma?!” Someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Many people reacted, their faces ugly. This was not an ordinary miasma. If one was careless, even Nascent Soul Stage Experts would perish within it.
Ye Qingshuang frowned, flipped her palm, and took out many Pills from her Storage Ring to distribute.
“These are the third-grade Clear Heart Pills I refined. They have a certain resistance to the Bl00d Origin Miasma. Everyone be careful and quickly pass through the miasma. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, many people looked over, their eyes flashing with unknown light.
This was the first time the Secret Realm had produced miasma, so these people had not prepared any Pills to dispel it beforehand.
If they went back to get more, they would inevitably lose the opportunity.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan took the bottle of Clear Heart Pills from Ye Qingshuang’s hand, kept a few, threw some towards Ye Yu, and said, “Imperial Brother, these Clear Heart Pills are for you. ”
Ye Qingshuang frowned, but rarely stopped him. She wanted to use this to curry favor with Ye Yu, making it easier to talk later.
Ye Yu sneered. At this juncture, this bottle of Clear Heart Pills was like a hot potato. Ye Yu could see through this little trick.
Immediately, Ye Yu extended a finger and a Spiritual Light burst forth, shattering the porcelain bottle.
The Clear Heart Pills inside were instantly destroyed.
“Imperial Brother, what are you doing? These are the Pills that Sister Qingshuang painstakingly refined. If you don’t want them, you can give them to others. Why did you destroy them! ” Ye Xuan said with a wronged expression.
“Good-for-nothing, you really don’t know what’s good for you. Little Xuan is magnanimous and doesn’t bother with you, but you still won’t stop! ” Seeing Ye Xuan’s grievance, Liu Ruyun immediately scolded.
Liu Ruyun’s reputation was already ruined, so she no longer had any need to pretend and eagerly defended Ye Xuan.
Ye Yu glanced at the two indifferently and said, “I don’t need such trash Pills. Don’t bother pretending to be a good person. ”
Hearing this, Ye Qingshuang’s face instantly darkened, and she coldly said, “You mean, the Pills I refined are trash?!”
