Lady Su’s Revenge

Hall of Holy Girl, Fenglei Holy Sect.

“Ling San, hasn’t Her Highness finished her practice yet?”

In the side hall, Xue Zhen held the food box and asked complainingly.

“No.”

Ling Li opened his eyes and answered. He was really not interested in talking to Xue Zhen, but his identity at the moment could not prevent anyone from entering the side hall.

“The pastries I made by myself are to be wasted again! Her Highness is only over 700 years old. Doesn’t she feel bored as she practices in isolation every day? When will she end her practice?”

Xue Zhen was very upset for a moment. She opened the food box and placed the exquisite pastries in front of Ling Li. She said while eating, “Why not eat? I cannot eat all of these up alone, and they will be wasted if left uneaten.”

Hearing Xue Zhen’s chatter, Ling Li sighed and abandoned the thought of fusing bloodline. He picked up a pastry and ate in silence.

Seeing his reluctant expression, Xue Zhen couldn’t help snorting, “I really wonder why the Holy Girl likes you. You are so boring, like a wood.”

Ling Li was surprised. Thinking of something, he raised his head and asked, “Am I…really boring?”

“Of course. You stay in the side hall every day, without going anywhere else…”

Xue Zhen started talking, but Ling Li didn’t hear a word. He was suddenly puzzled.

What did Su Li like about him back then?

In the Reincarnation Mirror, although he had multiple identities and high positions, Su Li was also the head of one force, and was even more powerful than him.

Except the identity of Childe Li, he was sad to find that he couldn’t think of anything that would attract others.

“Hello? Ling San, were my words a blow to you?”

Xue Zhen noticed Ling Li’s strangeness, quickly swallowed the pastry in her mouth, and said in a low voice, “I didn’t mean it. You don’t look good; besides, your cultivation level is not high, and your personality is horribly dull, but… but Her Highness likes you.”

Ling Li was shocked and raised his head. Xue Zhen wagged her head and said, “I have heard from my Senior Sister Apprentice that love has no reason, so don’t split hairs.”

Love didn’t need a reason?

Yes!

Ling Li smiled slightly. He liked Su Li, and he loved Su Li, for no reason and…without reservation.

Thinking of this, Ling Li suddenly became happy.

Even if…Su Li had been dead, he still loved her. And as long as he still loved her, she would always be there.

Ling Li touched his heart with his right hand unconsciously.

“Eh! Ling San, did you laugh?!”

Xue Zhen seemed to have discovered the New World. She approached Ling Li in surprise, “Have you really been in love with Her Highness? I was just talking nonsense, and maybe Her Highness is just greedy for your…”

“Xue Zhen, come here.”

Suddenly, Su Li’s voice echoed in the side hall. Xue Zhen was so frightened that she swallowed the second half of the sentence quickly, almost choking herself to death.

Did Her Highness hear what she said just now?!

“Your Highness! I’m here!”

Xue Zhen walked away hurriedly.

Even in a panic, Xue Zhen still swiftly entered the hall happily. Seeing this, Ling Li suddenly understood that there was no need to quarrel with Su Jiuzhou before.

He was wrong.

He was a chess piece of the Shengtian Shrine. He was deceived and used by the Great Lord of Shengtian Shrine, but the only reward he got was the pain of losing freedom.

But Xue Zhen was different.

Su Jiuzhou took advantage of Xue Zhen, but the latter did get happiness because of Su Jiuzhou.

Yes, happiness.

After getting rid of Chen Qing, Xue Zhen now lived a free and rich life, which could indeed be described as happiness. So… it was unknowingly mutually beneficial.

Ling Li stood up and walked into the main hall. Although Su Jiuzhou used the Reincarnation Mirror to force him, which made him unhappy, he would not be stingy if he should apologize.

“Xue Zhen, do you know where the Gengjin Tower is?”

Su Li leaned on the throne and asked softly. At this moment, her pneuma had returned to its usual state, and no one of the Fenglei Holy Sect would be able to find that she was carrying two Divine Thunder.

“Gengjin Tower?”

Xue Zhen was upset about the pastries. Hearing this, she suddenly raised her head in surprise, “Your Highness, do you refer to the residence of Grand Elder Hua?”

“Grand Elder Hua lives in the Gengjin Tower?”

Su Li frowned. Xue Zhen nodded and said, “Yes! All the disciples know that Grand Elder Hua lives there, but no one dares to go. That’s because the metal energy in the Gengjin Tower is too heavy. If a person’s cultivation hasn’t reached the middle stage of Huashen Realm, he or she is likely to be injured by the erosion of the metal energy.”

Speaking of this, Xue Zhen stuck out her tongue, “I have heard it from the little holy boys and little holy girls in the sect, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.”

Su Li was silent for a moment after hearing this. Then she waved, “It’s okay. You can leave.”

“Yes, Your Highness! …I have learned a new pastry today, and I will make it for you!”

Xue Zhen blushed. Then she turned around and left happily.

Ling Li saw her pass in front of him and kept watching her out of the hall. Then he walked to Su Li, looking at her pale face, and couldn’t help asking, “You have just got the Divine Thunder of Fire. Why do you want to get the Divine Thunder of Metal in such a short time? Can you bear the pain?”

Xiang Nan’s cultivation was still not high enough, so she didn’t notice the abnormality. But he felt the pneuma of the Divine Thunder of Fire as soon as Su Li returned to the hall. Besides, Su Jiuzhou practiced in isolation for a few days upon her return, so it was not difficult to guess Su Jiuzhou’s success.

“It is really strange that Lord of Evil will care about others one day.”

Su Li snorted coldly, “I don’t need your care.”

“Do you think I want to manage your affairs?”

Ling Li said angrily, “The Divine Thunder of Metal and Fire are the most manic, and it can be as serious as nature’s punishment when different kinds of Divine Thunder collide with each other! The Reincarnation Mirror cannot withstand the damage of the second thunder for testing.”

“Thank you for reminding me, Lord of Evil. I won’t come here to commit suicide.”

Su Li waved her hand casually and smiled, “If you have too much time, you might as well fuse your bloodline. Maybe one day you can surpass me and then you won’t need to be my attendant. Instead, you can just take the Reincarnation Mirror away from my hand by force.”

Ling Li turned his head with a snort. Then he closed his eyes and became silent.

There was a touch of gentleness in Su Li’s eyes, but only for an instant, this gentleness turned back into indifference…and scheming.

She had already successfully divided her pubic region into three areas, but this skill was really weird. When the pubic region was successfully divided, Su Li somehow knew that it could only last for a year at most.

In other words, during this year, she had to find a new container to hold the Divine Thunder, or directly find the method of fusing the Divine Thunder. Otherwise, once the skill lost its efficacy, she would fall into the long-term chaos of the Divine Thunder. Then all her power would be used to suppress the Divine Thunder, and it would be extremely difficult to deal with the crisis from the Fate Palace.

But both these two methods were not simple.

Gengjin Tower…

Su Li thought she had to get the Divine Thunder of Metal as soon as possible.

Her original plan was to first awaken the Metal Thunder Mark, and then took advantage of Xiang Nan to approach the Divine Thunder of Metal. But the plan could not keep up with changes.

The difficulty of fusing different kinds of Divine Thunder was beyond her imagination. And Xiang Nan was a little strange. It became an unknown whether she could approach the Divine Thunder of Metal by force.

“Ling Li, do me a favor.”

Su Li suddenly said. Ling Li was startled and was about to mention the Reincarnation Mirror. However, when he saw Su Jiuzhou’s black eyes similar to Su Li on her pale face, his heart softened.

“Okay.”

In the next few days, Xue Zhen was surprised to find that Ling San left the side hall and began to wander around in the sect. With the identity of “Su Qingshui’s attendant”, Ling Li could visit nearly 90% of all places in the Fenglei Holy Sect.

“Ling San has changed?”

Xue Zhen murmured, but she didn’t think too much. She was recently obsessed with making pastries for Her Highness. Every time she won praise from Her Highness, her heart would be as sweet as honey.

At first, the disciples of Fenglei Holy Sect still felt strange. But later, they found that Ling San was really just walking around and that he didn’t affect the cultivation of other disciples, so they let him go everywhere.

But no one noticed that every place where Ling San had paused, if connected, would pass the Gengjin Tower.

In the deserted mountain forest—

Ling Li swept around the forest with his divine awareness for a moment and then flipped his palm. A pure white jade slip appeared in his palm.

“The last one!”

In accordance with the gesture ordered by Su Jiuzhou, he flipped his hands and drove the pure white jade slip into the ground. After doing this, Ling Li turned around and walked back as if he had done nothing, but his mind became more active.

“The ancient curb did exist in my blood inheritance, but the description was unclear. I didn’t expect that Su Jiuzhou would know this secret skill. Is she a disciple of someone who lived in the last era? Or is it me…”

Ling Li frowned. It seemed that he didn’t want to think more about it, so he walked away quickly.

At night, Fenglei Holy Sect was quiet and peaceful. Xue Zhen was somehow very sleepy today, and she fell asleep early. Other handymen disciples also fell asleep unconsciously after sitting in meditation for a while in their room.

In the dark night, Su Li’s robe was blown by the cold wind. Ling Li stood beside her, staring at her profile, and asked solemnly, “Are you ready to do it?”

“Yes.”

Su Li replied. She looked at the direction of the Gengjin Tower, “You just stay in the hall. If something happens, help me protect Xue Zhen and the others.”

Ling Li was shocked when he heard the words, and was silent for a while. Then he said, “Don’t worry about Xue Zhen and the others. Besides… I apologize for quarreling with you a few days ago.”

Su Li was shocked by these words, but she quickly returned to her senses. She turned around with embarrassment and flew away.

In the mountain where the Gengjin Tower was located, it was completely silent. In the invisible underground, the pure white jade slips were swiftly moving. White light gradually covered the entire mountain.

Xiang Hua sat cross-legged on the first floor of the Gengjin Tower alone. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and frowned at the cold moonlight outside the tower. Nothing had changed, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

He got up to open the gate of the Gengjin Tower, and was about to go out to have a look. But when he opened the gate, a fair-skinned hand appeared out of nowhere and leaned against the gate.

“You…”

When Xiang Hua saw Su Li, his pupils suddenly contracted. He was about to make finger gestures to control the Gengjin Tower when he saw Su Li’s smile. Then countless black runes flooded into his body, and he couldn’t move at once.

“Grand Elder Hua, it seems that you have noticed it a long time ago, right?”

Su Li walked into the Gengjin Tower, as if she was returning to her home. Then she looked at Xiang Hua calmly, “You seem to be able to maintain your sanity, unlike the Grand Elder of Meizong Sect who was so incurable. Is the influence of the Poisonous Substitute Insect on you not very serious?”

Xiang Hua became panicked and quickly denied, “What is the Poisonous Substitute Insect? What did I notice? Don’t slander me! This is my residence. Su Qingshui, stop messing around!”

“Hahaha…”

Su Li covered her mouth and laughed, “If you didn’t recognize me, why didn’t you scold me but use the Gengjin Tower at the sight of me? Your acting skill is…too bad.”

Xiang Hua suddenly stiffened and became speechless.
