Chapter 1103: Chapter 188: Refining Incense with Men’s Vital Essence! (Fifth Update)

"You dare refuse this emperor!" Li Yuan’s aura rose up all of a sudden.

Mu Qingge, under the immense pressure, squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "Why wouldn’t I dare?"

"You! Aren’t you afraid that this emperor will kill you?" Li Yuan said with intense hostility.

Mu Qingge sneered, "Even if you kill me, the Divine Emperor probably won’t fare well. My Huan Yue Domain isn’t easy to bully."

"..." Li Yuan pursed her lips in silence, her beautiful face strained to a line. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "You want to use the Huan Yue Domain to threaten this emperor?"

"I’m merely stating facts." Mu Qingge said flatly.

Even when oppressed by the aura of the Saint Realm, she did not show a hint of fear.

Li Yuan’s complexion changed continuously, and finally, under Mu Qingge’s clear gaze, she raised her hand with force, directly flinging Mu Qingge away.

"Get out! Leave the Phoenix Heaven Domain immediately tomorrow. If tonight’s conversation is known by a third person, regardless of whether you’re the little Divine Emperor of the Huan Yue Domain, no matter how much the Yue Divine Emperor values you, I will kill you." Li Yuan’s voice came from the room.

Mu Qingge steadied herself upon landing, Li Yuan’s exertion, if against others, would at least make them spit blood. But to her, it had little impact.

She brushed off her lapels, stood proudly outside the door, and said to Li Yuan, "I won’t be coming tomorrow to bid farewell to the Divine Emperor."

With that, she turned gracefully, though as she turned, her peripheral vision discreetly swept over the incense box still peacefully resting on the dressing table, and a trace of cold smile played at her lips.

’Li Yuan, it was your people who invited me into the Phoenix Heaven Domain. You’re the one who called me to your bedchamber at midnight, giving me an opportunity. When the time comes and you understand everything, don’t blame me. Who told you to want to provoke him?’ Mu Qingge silently said in her heart.

Walking out of the Divine Emperor Palace, Mu Qingge was quite leisurely, seemingly unaffected by the previous events.

At this time, Bai Xi’s voice echoed in her mind, ’Qingge, are you alright.’

Her soft voice sounded somewhat weak, likely disturbed during her cultivation breakthrough. The smile on Mu Qingge’s face faded, and she concernedly asked, ’Did I disturb you?’

’It’s fine, we are connected by a contract. You being suppressed by the Saint Realm’s aura naturally alarmed me. I’m fine, are you okay?’ Bai Xi said.

’I’m fine too, no need to worry. Just a mad woman.’ Mu Qingge said disdainfully.

’Mad woman?’ Bai Xi was stunned, quickly reacting, ’A mad woman from the Saint Realm? The Female God Empress who dared to covet your man?’

Mu Qingge nodded, ’Yes, her.’

’Did you confront her? Does she know your identity? How could you be so reckless? Facing enemies and yet didn’t let me out!’ Bai Xi asked anxiously.

Her concern warmed Mu Qingge’s heart. She said, ’It’s okay. I have the identity of the little Divine Emperor of the Huan Yue Domain, not many in the Four Seas Divine Land dare make things difficult for me.’

’Did you give her any lesson? With your temperament, it’s impossible not to exact some interest.’ Bai Xi said irritably.

Mu Qingge’s lips curled up, ’You guessed correctly. I indeed left her a little gift.’

’Gift? Tell me about it.’ Bai Xi immediately became interested.

Mu Qingge said, ’I unintentionally discovered that she refines a special incense using men’s souls. It’s a highly venomous evil technique, akin to using men’s lifespan to sustain her eternal youth. She’s in the Saint Realm and should be able to preserve her youth, but now uses such an evil technique to keep her face, suggesting one possibility, she suffered severe injury and a fundamental backlash.’

’Backlash?’ Bai Xi said in surprise.

’Hmm.’ Mu Qingge nodded, ’I suspect that during the removal of her curse by A Mo, he caused her backlash. This explains why she suddenly wants to recruit many male disciples. Turns out, these male disciples are used for refining incense. And this evil technique, the better looking the man, the better the incense’s effectiveness.’

’That old witch is so perverted! Did you take advantage?’ Bai Xi couldn’t help but say.

Mu Qingge sneered, ’All I did was add something into her usual cosmetics. This thing is colorless and tasteless, usually showing nothing, only shortening the incense’s effectiveness. But if used long-term with that refined incense, it creates a potent toxin within her, and later, all it takes is a trigger from me to induce the accumulated toxin.’

’You’re so cunning!’ Bai Xi couldn’t help but say after hearing.

Mu Qingge sneered silently.

’Didn’t expect that old witch to be so twisted; you ventured here alone, weren’t you afraid she’d refine you into incense?’ Bai Xi jested.

Mu Qingge dismissed it, ’Not afraid, she doesn’t have the guts. She could strike against A Mo because they were in opposing camps. If lucky enough to kill him, she’d become a hero of the Divine Clan. But me, if she kills me, it’ll provoke a war between the two Divine Domains, and even at her peak, she wouldn’t be a match for the Huan Yue God Emperor.’

’Ah, this old witch got schemed to death by you.’ Bai Xi said with schadenfreude.

Mu Qingge teased with a smile, ’Do you know what she planned earlier? She had the audacity, thinking she could use me to provoke A Mo.’

’What?’ Bai Xi was stunned, then laughed unrestrainedly in Mu Qingge’s mind.

After Bai Xi finished laughing, Mu Qingge recounted the earlier incident. Bai Xi teased, ’Why don’t you follow her lead, and act in her play? I truly can’t wait to see her reaction upon knowing the truth.’

Mu Qingge pursed her lips, ’I have so much to do, where’s the time to play along?’

’Ah, I truly want to ask her, about your Great Demon King, does she have any genuine feelings?’ Bai Xi said.

Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered slightly, ’There might have been genuine feelings once. But more than that, she gives me a sense of vanity and selfish possessiveness.’

"Hmm, what are you planning to do next?" Bai Xi asked.

Mu Qingge took a deep breath, "A Mo is currently in seclusion, his Life and Death Tribulation makes me feel uneasy. I must first go to the Demon Forest to seek opportunities to enhance my skills, only then can I assist him at critical moments."

’Qingge, I need to tell you something.’ Bai Xi suddenly became serious.

Mu Qingge’s eyes focused, ’Go ahead.’

’During this retreat, I am attempting the final breakthrough. If successful, I will awaken nine abilities, but will enter a period of deep sleep and won’t be able to assist you.’ Bai Xi said.

’Is there any danger?’ Mu Qingge asked.

Bai Xi laughed, ’Going for a breakthrough inherently carries risks, I can endure.’
