Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Isn’t Helping Me Out What You Should Do?

Night fell, and it was time to activate the small cauldron. Ye Yu, as usual, began infusing it with spiritual energy.

This had become rote memory.

“Huh? ” Halfway through the infusion, Ye Yu was surprised.

Normally, the spiritual energy he had infused by now would have been enough to activate the small cauldron, but now, less than a third of the markings on the Cauldron were lit.

Ye Yu raised an eyebrow. Though puzzled, he continued infusing it with spiritual energy.

Until he had almost depleted his internal spiritual energy, the markings on the small cauldron finally spread to the lid.

The next moment, the lid opened. However, unlike usual, after a long time, there was no movement inside the small cauldron.

Curious, Ye Yu looked inside the small cauldron. He saw a Sea of Stars, from which muffled sounds seemed to emanate.

Upon closer inspection, he saw two figures in the center of the Star Sea. A smaller figure was constantly attacking the other.

Hum….

The small cauldron suddenly trembled, and a blazing, dazzling Orb of Light shot towards the mouth of the cauldron.

A terrifying Pressure instantly washed over Ye Yu. His expression immediately turned serious, and he quickly mobilized his Nascent Soul from his Dantian to meet the Orb at the cauldron’s mouth.

Bang! The moment the Orb shot out of the cauldron’s mouth, Ye Yu’s Nascent Soul rushed forward and hugged it tightly. At the same time, Ye Yu’s mind was greatly shaken, and he spat out a mouthful of bl00d.

But he managed to stabilize it.

Ignoring the pain, Ye Yu carefully examined the Orb. In this life and his past life, he had never encountered such a situation.

Ye Yu possessed a Chaos Nascent Soul. If it had been his past life, or even a Bl00d Nascent Soul, it would have been instantly destroyed.

Soon, the light dispersed, revealing the object within: an Ancient Text.

Ye Yu summoned it into his hand. Before he could see it clearly, his hairs stood on end as if he were being watched, and his spiritual energy instantly became chaotic.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the small cauldron floated to Ye Yu’s head, and the light that spilled down protected him, causing the feeling of being watched to disappear.

Ye Yu took several deep breaths and swallowed hard. The feeling was too frightening. It took him a long time to regain his composure and look at the Ancient Text in his hand. It was a cultivation Technique.

《Primordial Invincible Scripture》

The moment he saw this cultivation Technique, Ye Yu felt a sense of seamless integration. He involuntarily opened the first page and immediately became immersed in it.

Several days later, Qin Wushuang’s arrival awakened Ye Yu from his cultivation state.

“You boy, what have you been doing these past few days? Why do you feel different? ” Qin Wushuang frowned at Ye Yu. Ye Yu’s appearance hadn’t changed, but Qin Wushuang felt a sense of oppression.

It wasn’t the oppression of cultivation realm, but a tremor originating from instinct.

Ye Yu shook his head without answering. These past few days, he had been cultivating the Primordial Invincible Scripture, completely transforming his internal spiritual energy.

Though he didn’t know what attribute his spiritual energy should be classified as, he knew this Chaotic spiritual energy was incredibly powerful.

The oppressive feeling Qin Wushuang felt was the Fear felt by his internal Fire Attribute spiritual energy.

“Is it because of Ruoxian’s Dao Injury? ” Ye Yu asked.

Qin Wushuang shook his head. “Ruoxian is still stabilizing her cultivation realm. I’m here for something else. ”

Ye Yu nodded. Qin Ruoxian had received a Spiritual Light Infusion from the 700th step of the Ascending Heaven Ladder. It would indeed take some time to fully digest this external spiritual energy.

“What is it? ”

Hearing this, Qin Wushuang glanced at Ye Yu, his expression shifting before he said, “Someone is looking for you. Will you see them? ”

“Looking for me? Who? ” Ye Yu was curious. He didn’t have many acquaintances in Great Qin.

“Ye Qingwan and Ye Qingxuan. ” Qin Wushuang shrugged and observed Ye Yu’s expression.

Qin Wushuang knew how much Ye Yu valued kinship. Even after everything that had happened, he doubted Ye Yu could completely sever those ties.

“I’ll see them,” Ye Yu said after a moment of contemplation.

Qin Wushuang’s face changed, and he instinctively said, “You haven’t let go? ”

Ye Yu looked at Qin Wushuang in surprise, then smiled. “It has nothing to do with letting go. Ye Qingwan, that woman, may be foolish, but she has cultivated considerable Power in Great Yan over the years. ”

“That Power isn’t enough to turn Great Yan upside down, but it’s enough to make them suffer. To take Great Yan, we must first wear them down internally. ”

Having said that, Ye Yu got up and left the Palace, stretching as he walked towards the Imperial Palace gates.

As he exited the gate, Ye Yu saw two familiar figures: Ye Qingwan and Ye Qingxuan.

Neither of them looked well. It was hard to imagine they were princesses. They looked more like refugees.

Ye Qingxuan, in particular, was dazed. The Bl00d Poison preventing her cultivation must have been agonizing. Only when she saw Ye Yu did her eyes light up.

The next moment, she rushed towards him frantically.

Seeing this, Ye Yu frowned, his spiritual energy forming a wall to separate Ye Qingxuan. “What do you want? ”

“Little Yu, Sister knows she was wrong. Will you come back to Great Yan with me? ” Ye Qingwan looked at Ye Yu, her expression extremely complex. After seeing the Recording Stone in the East Palace, she finally understood how many times Ye Yu had protected them over the years.

“You came here just to say this nonsense? ” Ye Yu said flatly.

“Little Yu, it’s all Sister’s fault. I’ve already been punished. Like you, I was also confined. And…” Ye Qingwan rolled up her sleeve, revealing numerous scars.

These scars were inflicted by Ye Fan’s men when Ye Qingwan attempted to escape.

Ye Yu glanced at the scars, his expression unchanged. These were just superficial wounds. Ye Fan wouldn’t hurt Ye Qingwan severely; he needed her and Ye Qingxuan to maintain relations with Great Zhou.

Seeing Ye Yu’s calmness, Ye Qingwan felt a pang in her heart. She remembered a few years ago, even a small scratch would have made Ye Yu heartbroken and protective.

Not like now.

“Little Yu, Sister traveled thousands of miles just to apologize. Look at me now. Who would know I’m a princess of Great Yan? ” Ye Qingwan gave a bitter smile.

Ye Yu sized her up and finally said, “Don’t flatter yourself. What you’ve suffered is nothing compared to what you did to me. And you came to me because of the Engagement, didn’t you? ”

“No, really! Sister is here to apologize! ” Ye Qingwan quickly shook her head. “Of course, if you forgive me, and conveniently help me resolve the Engagement… isn’t that what a younger brother should do? ”
