After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 190 - 190 She’s Just the Eleventh Concubine

190 She’s Just the Eleventh Concubine

Amidst the roars of the beasts and the rumbling sounds of the gears, Pang Ying’s screams could be heard faintly.

Under such circumstances, Pang Ying, who had lost her ability to move, had no chance of survival. Even if she was given the sword, she did not have any spiritual energy to control it, not to mention that her legs had been crippled by Zhiying.

The group entered the next level. This was not a passageway, but a spacious hall.

The dark space was illuminated by the Night Pearl, so the top could not be seen, and the end could not be seen. The gray, turbid air was rolling up and down because of their entry, as if it was boiling.

!!

According to the distance he had jumped down, this place was about ten meters high. The white jade slabs on the ground were much cleaner than the passage above, and exquisite patterns were engraved on them. Although they were covered in dust and weeds, they looked much more advanced.

The ape monster that had jumped down was nowhere to be seen. There were only some rotten black stains on the ground, as if it had escaped.

According to the height of the exposed part of the palace, they were probably in the middle of the palace, which was the most central hall. The passage just now should only be the corridor above.

Because this place seemed to have suffered from a landslide, many parts were buried in the soil, and the structure of the entire palace was not very clear. However, one could vaguely feel that it should have been crisscrossed with the style of a celestial family with white jade shining.

Everyone came down from above and vigilantly looked around. It was quiet and tense. Tang Yuanhua’s question was so abrupt that it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Because of Pang Ying’s matter, both sides unexpectedly had a bit more trust in each other. They were much more harmonious than when they were on guard at the beginning. At this moment, the green-robed Immortal cultivators on the opposite side could not help but cast curious gazes at them.

The ladies behind Liu Yuan were even more alarmed and looked at Liu Yuan vigilantly.

‘Would you believe me if I said she was my wife?’ Liu Yuan muttered in his heart.

But even if this was the truth, it would be a little suicidal to say it out loud in front of all the women. He could only smile faintly and ask, “Are you doubting my identity?”

Tang Yuanhua shook his head. “Look at Pang Ying’s shocked expression. If she hadn’t really done something to harm and curse people, she wouldn’t have reacted so strongly. It’s clear that what Fellow Daoist said is most likely true. To be able to easily find out about her filthy business, at least someone with a deep relationship with the Netherworld Cliff would know about her. I’m just a little curious.”

He deliberated over his words for a moment before continuing, “After all, I’ve heard that the Sect Master of the Netherworld Cliff is a person from a foreign race from the southern wilderness. She seems to be particularly harsh in her choice of Dao Companion. Furthermore, it’s rumored that her entire body is covered in incantations, and she’s especially repulsed by men. If one were to approach her slightly, they would be disintegrated into dust or die from the curse. I’ve never heard of a male disciple by her side.”

Everyone was curious about the relationship between Liu Yuan and the Sect Master of the Netherworld Cliff.

Just as Liu Yuan was about to say something, Zhiying said, “She’s just the eleventh Aunt. The Sect Master of the Netherworld Cliff is only at the Void Refinement stage. She’s just right to be Father’s concubine.”

“…?”

Tang Yuanhua slowly typed a question mark.

“Aunt? Concubine” The outer sect disciple of the Taiqing Pavilion hesitated for a moment and confirmed that he had not heard wrongly. He looked at the shadow and then at Liu Yuan, and fell into a state of doubt.

No way, rascal, no matter who looked at it, their first impression was definitely not that of a father-daughter relationship!

No, wait! That was not the problem. The problem was that there were 11 concubines instead of 1. What did she mean by ‘she’s only at the Void Refinement stage, so she can be my father’s concubine’?

So only the master of this force is fit to be his concubine? What background does your father have?

Tang Yuanhua’s mouth twitched as he looked at Liu Yuan in disbelief, “Fellow Daoist, umm…”

Although the Netherworld Cliff was far away from the center of Central Plains, it was still one of the famous neutral evil sects in the eastern Central Continent. It was only a level lower than Bi Luo Mansion, and was basically a huge power that could run amuck in the eastern region of the Central Continent.

In the eastern region, this power was equivalent to the Taiqing Pavilion in the Central Plains.

Now, if someone suddenly came out and said that the Pavilion Master of the Taiqing Pavilion… Wait, the Pavilion Master is a man, so that wouldn’t be right… If someone came out to say that the Green Lotus Swordsman of the Taiqing Pavilion was this guy’s concubine, any random Immortal cultivator on the street would give him a slap just to wake him up.

Liu Yuan could clearly feel the jealousy in Zhiying’s tone. In the past, she would not even open her mouth, but now she had learned how to mock and ridicule.

All kinds of deprecation that she did not even notice herself, it was like old vinegar that had been frozen for months in the refrigerator, sour and cold.

“Children’s words carry no harm, children’s words carry no harm.” Liu Yuan coughed twice in embarrassment and said in all seriousness, “It’s like this, Jianglian and I have indeed known each other since we were in the eastern region. Now that she’s in such a high position, it’s inconvenient for me to appear with her in public, so I help her in private… As for the concubines, it’s just a child’s nonsense. I’m just an itinerant cultivator now, how can I have such a big face?”

Liu Yuan’s words were vague, but it made these people’s imagination run wild.

With Zhiying’s strength, he did not look like he would spout nonsense. Besides, ‘he’s an itinerant cultivator now’ didn’t mean that he was one in the past.

Tang Yuanhua’s mind was spinning. They had only found the Martial Emperor’s Tomb by relying on the information from the Green Centipede’s mission. How did Liu Yuan find the Martial Emperor Tomb’s Secret Realm?

Moreover, the two little foxes of Mud Mountain had come from the demon race in the west. This meant that he had crossed the entire Central Plains from the east to the west and had deep relationships with both major factions.

The 11th concubine, and the saying that only cultivators at the Void Refinement stage could be his concubines were probably not just a joke.

Tang Yuanhua’s heart trembled, but he changed the topic and said, “Let’s explore this palace first. In my opinion, the secret of the Martial Emperor’s inheritance might be hidden in this palace.”

Liu Yuan suddenly remembered that Xun Jianglian was best at curse-type spells, which were comparable to Pihuan Luo’s Entanglement or Bug poison.

However, he immediately threw these worries to the back of his mind. He had not seen her for a few months, so there was no point in worrying now. Since he was already here, he should take things as they came. The one he should be most worried about now was Zhiying. This child was like a little vinegar jar. He would have to find an opportunity to have a good talk with her when he got out.

The Night Pearls that were raised high illuminated the surroundings, which were gradually becoming clearer.

Liu Yuan’s gaze fell on the pool on the ground. It was a huge, round pool made of ten-fold stones. With the structure of white jade around it, the pitch-black pool was particularly eye-catching. It was like a garden. When he walked over, he saw many exotic flowers and plants. However, most of them were growing very aggressively now, covering the walls and the ground.

“There’s a mechanism here.”

Hong Luan’s voice was suddenly heard. Liu Yuan turned his head and saw her squatting by the pool, her arm moving something.

After that, the dusty pool actually started to gurgle. Then, the dust floated up, and in the blink of an eye, half of the pool’s water surface was up.

This was a scene that looked like running water. It was obviously the work of the expert in mechanical engineering, the Puppeteer.
