“Phew…”
After Ye Qianli finished what she had to do, she felt like she came back to life and sighed. Her voice was like a lazy cat that had just eaten its fill, containing an indescribable charm and mellowness.
She sat up and was about to put on her clothes, but when she got a clear view of the man whom she had ‘finished off’, her movements froze for a moment because of that pair of eyes on him.
Silver eyes.
A pair of eyes as bright as the moon shone in his silver eyes. However, it did not seem strange or sinister. Instead, it gave off an elegant and distant charm.
Apart from this pair of striking silver eyes, his facial features were also extremely outstanding, like they were exquisitely carved from fine jade of the highest quality. Just looking at him made one feel cool and comfortable.
His inky black eyebrows were like dyed paintings, his nose bridge was high and straight, and his lips were plump and sexy. Especially after being nibbled on by her, they seemed even more beautiful and alluring, simply making one’s heart pound by looking.
Just based on looks alone, he was undoubtedly a handsome man!
Look at his figure, too.
Oh my, how embarrassing!
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, lean and sexy…
However, just as Ye Qianli’s eyes were about to strip him naked and give him another visual ‘assault’, this man—who had always been at her mercy—moved!
He moved!
Although his movements were weak, he still managed to move!
He raised his hand and gathered the clothes that had been pulled off of him, covering up everything lovely in sight. His eyes were also clear and bright, exuding a dark killing intent!
The darkness in his brightly-lit silver eyes became more and more terrifying. He was like an awakening god—one ruling over everything—and was planning to kill this woman who had blasphemed against his elegance and honor with one slap.
Danger!
Super dangerous!
Ye Qianli narrowed her eyes lightly and quickly deduced that she had not only sinned against a peerlessly beautiful man… but also a super terrifying man.
Furthermore…!
Ye Qianli could clearly feel that a terrifying power was rising in this man’s body. This completely changed the image of him being weak and easy to ravage.
Without a doubt, she would definitely die if she waited until he fully recovered.
Whoosh!
As soon as Ye Qianli realized the danger, her speed increased. It was as if her potential had been stimulated once again. She wrapped up her tattered clothes and disappeared in an instant like a little leopard.
After a while, Ye Qianli—who was running away—could clearly feel a terrifying and violent killing intent erupting from far behind.
Even without thinking, she could tell that it was definitely released from that man.
Hiss. Ye Qianli’s entire body shivered as she secretly praised herself for running fast. Otherwise, she would probably have been chopped into pieces by now.
However, thinking about the brutish act that she had done to a certain handsome man, she could understand his anger, too.
However…
“I was clearly the one at a disadvantage while he was the one who took advantage of a young maiden like me, okay? Who is he trying to scare with such a heavy murderous aura?” Ye Qianli muttered unhurriedly, but her speed of escape did not decrease at all. Moreover, her target destination was quite clear.
Through her body’s memories, Ye Qianli clearly remembered that she originally lived in the Southern Palace of the Clear Wind Palace. However, she was brought to the Northern Palace by her younger female cousin.
That younger female cousin said that she wanted to see an exotic flower. In the end, they had not seen the exotic flower, but Ye Qianli herself became a poisoned flower and was almost defiled by a fat pig.
Previously, she did not have the time to think about these things. After all, survival was the main issue at that time. However, now that she thought about it carefully, how had she been poisoned? Why was there no one who could save her wherever she went?
This was very thought-provoking…
“Younger Cousin?” Ye Qianli’s gaze turned cold. She had a rough idea of what had happened within her heart.
She was certain that, before her dear cousin and she left the Southern Palace of the Clear Wind Palace, the tea that her cousin had given her contained a high concentration of aphrodisiac!
“The smell is indeed very faint. If I hadn’t recalled my memories thoroughly, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to detect it.” Ye Qianli smiled in her heart. As she had been in contact with ‘drugs’ for many years, she had an extremely terrifying ability to identify all kinds of medicinal smells.
Actually, even if she did not have this ability of identification, upon careful consideration, the original Ye Qianli would be able to sense that all the oddities in this matter were closely related to this ‘female cousin’.
Perhaps it was because the person involved in the matter was confused, or perhaps it was because she was unwilling to believe it. So even till her death, the original Ye Qianli was still hoping that her dear younger cousin would return and save her.
While she was thinking, Ye Qianli had already returned to the Southern Palace.
At this moment, the Southern Palace was in an uproar.
“Aunt! Aunt, there is trouble! Elder Sister is missing. Elder Sister is missing.”
Amidst the chaos, there was an extremely sweet and delicate female voice. It was spreading news of Ye Qianli’s ‘disappearance’ in a low but clear manner so that everyone knew about it.
Because of her yelling, the strong fighters in charge of patrolling the Southern Palace quickly surrounded the entire area.
Everyone in the Southern Palace was forbidden from walking freely. This made it difficult for Ye Qianli, who had returned quietly, to sneak back into the lady’s chamber of the Clear Wind Palace.
After creating such a huge commotion, even if ‘Ye Qianli’ was found, it would be impossible to hide the news of her losing her virginity. This was probably the ultimate motive of the ‘female cousin’ who had made her move.
Ruining Ye Qianli’s innocence, destroying her reputation… turning her from the most respected young lady in the dynasty to the most despised piece of trash in the dust. Her intentions were truly sinister.
Hiding in the darkness, Ye Qianli’s cold gaze swept across the girl in a pink dress, who was running and screaming ‘in a panic’, as though she was flustered from losing her pillar of support.
She was Ye Qianli’s younger cousin, Su Lianhua.
Su Lianhua and Ye Qianli were both 16 years old.
The difference was that Ye Qianli was born with the goddess body and was already able to condense profound energy and become a mystic cultivator. Moreover, because of this, she was going to be betrothed to the crown prince of the Vermilion Bird Dynasty.
Two years later, when Ye Qianli turned 18, she would get married to the crown prince. She would become the noble crown princess consort and the future queen of the empire with a stable position.
As for Su Lianhua, amongst the noble ladies in the Vermillion Bird Dynasty, her talent was only second to Ye Qianli. She was a peak level nine Mystic Disciple and the second most talented girl in the dynasty.
“So the motive is to get rid of me, the number one, and replace that position with you?” Ye Qianli looked at Su Lianhua indifferently. While she was making guesses in her heart, her gaze was gradually attracted by a middle-aged couple with poised bearings.
“Hua’er, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying like this? Come over quickly and let Aunt take a look.” The woman, who was part of the middle-aged couple, saw that Su Lianhua was weeping horribly and went up to comfort her with a pained expression.
In her memory, this middle-aged beauty was actually Ye Qianli’s mother, Su Qin. However, she had always been very cold to Ye Qianli, so cold that it seemed like Ye Qianli was the child of a mistress and not her biological daughter.
“So the Northern Palace patrol was gone because Mother also interfered?” As Ye Qianli watched the scene unfold to this point, her clear eyes became even colder.
