Chapter 1098: Chapter 183: Holy Crap! Why Is It You? (5 Updates)

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan stood up from the chair, revealing her tall and graceful figure.

It must be said, Li Yuan is a woman who is very adept at amplifying her strengths and concealing her weaknesses, making her appear extremely perfect without a single flaw.

She was wearing a tight-fitting dress with a waist belt, making her waist appear very slender and her legs straight and long.

Li Yuan walked down the steps, one step at a time, her skirt trailing behind her, adding to her nobility and elegance.

Mu Qingge watched her, as she approached step by step, his expression unchanged.

Li Yuan came to stand before Mu Qingge; she was only slightly shorter than Mu Qingge, yet the aura of the Divine Emperor made her appear much taller than ordinary people.

Her aura oppressed Mu Qingge.

Not intentionally, but a natural habit over time.

As if she enjoyed seeing everyone bow their heads, bend their knees, and lower their backs before her.

However, today she encountered Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge had nothing else but a backbone that would not bend.

Standing in front of Li Yuan, she met her gaze directly, her spine still straight like a spear, her sharp aura like an unsheathed treasure sword, demanding attention.

The two confronted each other, the intense clash of their gazes as if they had fought hundreds of rounds.

Though Mu Qingge’s cultivation realm was not as high as Li Yuan’s, she did not fall defeated in this confrontation.

A flash of surprise flickered in Li Yuan’s eyes, and she spoke with an indistinguishable tone: "You truly surprise me."

Mu Qingge smiled lightly, replied with dignity: "Thank you, Divine Emperor, for the praise."

"Oh? Am I praising you?" Li Yuan laughed, a trace of coldness in her smile, her eyes becoming mocking, as if ridiculing Mu Qingge’s arrogance.

Mu Qingge, undisturbed by honor or disgrace, smiled and said: "I believe you are." Sometimes being praised by the enemy is also a sort of success!

"Hahaha..." Li Yuan suddenly laughed, still maintaining her Divine Emperor’s nobility and reserve in her laughter, which was never completely unrestrained and candid. "You are indeed interesting and have piqued my interest. If you try harder, maybe I will personally visit the Huan Yue Domain."

"The Divine Emperor wants to go to the Huan Yue Domain?" Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow.

Li Yuan smiled with a playful attitude, "Yes, if you are truly intriguing, I will personally go to the Huan Yue God Emperor and take you myself, how’s that?"

"Divine Emperor’s meaning is..." Mu Qingge pondered and asked.

Li Yuan spread her hands, pacing in the hall, as proud as a Phoenix. She said: "Look at my Phoenix Heaven Domain, surrounded by beauties, it is absolutely magnificent. Wouldn’t it be better to be my disciple here than in the Yue Domain?"

"..." Mu Qingge’s lips twitched slightly, she hadn’t expected Li Yuan to start plotting against her. "In Qingluan City, I’ve heard that the Phoenix Heaven Domain is recruiting male disciples, seems like it’s true."

Li Yuan’s face suddenly darkened, she swiftly turned her eyes to glare at Mu Qingge and asked: "What do you mean?"

Her sudden change in demeanor brought joy to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge innocently replied: "I didn’t mean anything, just stating the facts."

"Hmph! Are you also trying to be like those outside, spreading rumors? Thinking that Phoenix Heaven Domain recruiting male disciples has some ulterior motives?" Li Yuan pressed forward.

Mu Qingge didn’t retreat, still smiling: "Why should the Divine Emperor care about outsiders’ words?"

Her calmness eased Li Yuan’s mood.

However, Li Yuan didn’t know, inside Mu Qingge’s mind, she thought, ’Go ahead, be arrogant. Be as arrogant as possible, the more people hate you, the more satisfying it will be when I deal with you later.’

Li Yuan looked at Mu Qingge with deep eyes, her tone suddenly slowed, asking: "Do you truly think so?"

Mu Qingge was taken aback, feeling her words were slightly incoherent.

Her silence, however, brought a thin layer of anger over Li Yuan’s eyes again, "I knew it, you’re just placating me, aren’t you?"

Why the anger again? Menopause?!

Mu Qingge couldn’t resist inwardly muttering.

On the surface, she still smiled, ’kindly advising’ Li Yuan, "Divine Emperor, I wasn’t placating you. Divine Emperor holds the highest position on the Divine Land, naturally, what you do isn’t something ordinary people can understand, being at your exalted status, why bother explaining to others?"

Li Yuan looked at her, her eyes shifting unpredictably.

Mu Qingge also looked at her, her clear gaze containing indescribable sincerity.

After a while, Li Yuan finally flicked her sleeve and said: "You may leave now." With that, she turned away from Mu Qingge.

Before Mu Qingge could say anything, someone approached her respectfully and said: "Young Divine Emperor, please follow me."

Mu Qingge didn’t insist on staying, following the maid out of the Divine Emperor Palace. But they didn’t go far, the maid led Mu Qingge directly to the side hall behind the Divine Emperor Palace.

Upon arrival, the maid blushed and bowed slightly to Mu Qingge, "Young Divine Emperor, this is the palace where we at Phoenix Heaven Domain receive esteemed guests, while you are here, you may reside here."

Mu Qingge nodded. "Thank you."

This expression of thanks rendered the young maid awkwardly at a loss, she bashfully and anxiously said, "No... no thanks." Then she hurriedly turned and ran away.

"Hey..." Mu Qingge looked on in bewilderment at her ’fleeing’ figure, somewhat puzzled. After the maid was far away, she muttered, "Such a large palace, she hasn’t told me which room to stay in."

Yet, with no one around, naturally, no one heard her complaint.

Feeling helpless, Mu Qingge flicked her sleeve, turning to enter the palace behind her.

"It’s so large here, upon entering, no one mentioned any guests visiting. Probably it’s all empty inside; with no one to guide, I shall randomly choose a room to stay." Mu Qingge muttered to herself, wandering into the palace, casually searching for a room.

Meanwhile, the maid who had gone halfway suddenly realized, after calming her pounding heart and thought, "Oh no!" She cried out, then swiftly turned, hurrying back to the side hall.

Mu Qingge reached a room, reached out to push open the tightly closed door, muttering: "Hmm, let’s go here."

However, as she pushed the door open, a panicky voice immediately echoed from inside. "Who’s there?!"

Someone inside?

Mu Qingge was startled, lifting her gaze, she saw a perfectly smooth back, the alluring curve directly imprinted in her eyes.

Just for a moment, a sword qi came sweeping towards her.

Mu Qingge sidestepped to avoid the sword qi, and the person inside had already dressed and rushed out.

"Why is it you?"

Mu Qingge and the woman who rushed out spoke in unison upon seeing each other’s appearances.
