Chapter 515: Fighting Fire with Fire
============================================================
Dongfang Jue nodded frantically upon hearing this!
She believed she was in no way inferior to her two senior sisters!
As the daughter of the Human Emperor, she surpassed others in every way!
While her cultivation might lag slightly behind the eldest senior sister, she had always been hot on Li Shiyao's heels!
In intellect, she had devoured classics since childhood, mastered military strategy, and excelled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
The eldest senior sister could dance? So could she! She'd begun training at seven and performed for her father, the Human Emperor, in the palace at eight!
The second senior sister knows how to act coy? She's had proper training in that too. With so many women in Father's harem, she's been exposed to it constantly—how could she not know? She just disdains using such tactics!
She believed that if she chose to, she could match either elder sister effortlessly. She simply disdained such affected posturing!
If there was one flaw, one weakness, in the nearly perfect Eastern General, it was this somewhat unimpressive figure…
Not that she had absolutely nothing, but it was clearly insufficient!
It couldn't even hold anything properly…
Though Master never said it aloud, men are all the same, aren't they?
She understood this truth at thirteen!
But at thirteen, she wasn't in a hurry. She thought she was still young!
Now she's no longer young, but her chest is still flat!
This little junior sister before her was a few years younger, yet her bust was larger than hers. How could anyone bear that?
You must understand, among Lingxian Hall's unengraved disciples, besides her, only the Fourth Disciple remained—someone she'd never even laid eyes on!
And who knows? Maybe that Fourth Disciple had been engraved too, only she'd never seen it!
"Junior Sister, so you have a solution?"
Miaomiao nodded. Though she hadn't paid much attention to it, she had indeed seen a pill formula with such effects!
"There is one, but Senior Sister, I think things are actually quite good the way they are."
Dongfang Jue naturally wouldn't repeat any silly talk about having a friend. Seeing Miao Miao raise her hand, she simply offered her wrist.
"Miaomiao, stop being so sarcastic. I want Master to like me too…"
Miaomiao thought to herself: If the Master didn't like her, how could he have taken her as a direct disciple?
Still, Miao Miao didn't press the matter. Since Senior Sister wanted it, she might as well give it to her—after all, she had the antidote.
As she spoke, Miaomiao rummaged through the jade pendant. Inside lay a pill originally used for detoxification, known as the Bone-Cutting Pill.
Miaomiao had concocted this pill when a beloved concubine of a merchant from the Southern Realm was bitten by an unknown venomous snake. After consulting countless renowned physicians to no avail, the merchant paid a high price for Ice-Ling Flowers and sought her out for treatment.
The Bone-Cutting Pill was primarily made from the deadly Soul-Summoning Grass combined with two equally toxic spiritual herbs, further refined with the inner core of a spirit beast.
While it could neutralize most snake venoms, consuming it would induce the side effect Jue'er desired…
Though Jue'er wasn't poisoned, the toxins in the spiritual herbs had been neutralized through multiple layers of refinement. Taking one or two pills wouldn't cause any harm.
Before long, Miaomiao retrieved a small green porcelain bottle from the jade pendant. Dongfang Jue stared at it, then spoke up.
"Miaomiao, you're not trying to pull a fast one on your senior sister, are you? Isn't that the bottle for Spirit Gathering Pills? Those are for restoring and enhancing spiritual power—your senior sister takes them all the time."
These were bottles she'd collected from the leftover elixirs consumed by her senior sisters. Since they no longer needed them, she'd simply repurposed them to store her own refined pills.
Miaomiao slowly turned the bottle. A red paper label was affixed to the green vessel, bearing the words: Bone-Shaving Pill.
Seeing Dongfang Jue's confusion, Miaomiao offered no explanation. Instead, she opened the bottle and poured a single pill into her palm.
Miaomiao held the Bone-Shaving Pill in her palm before Dongfang Jue. Instantly, Dongfang Jue realized he had misunderstood his junior sister.
The Spirit Gathering Pill given by their master was no ordinary one. Common Spirit Gathering Pills were milky white pills, typically consumed by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage. For those at the Core Formation stage, their effects were negligible, and overconsumption could even lead to poisoning.
But the Spirit Gathering Pill from their Master was golden yellow, its spiritual essence visible to the naked eye, making it very easy to distinguish.
Moreover, the sisters treated their master's pills like candy beans, completely unconcerned about pill toxicity. Nothing bad ever happened~
"What is this?"
Seeing Dongfang Jue's puzzled expression, Miaomiao calmly began her explanation.
"This is the Bone-Cutting Pill I concocted. It's for detoxification. As the name suggests, Senior Sister, it's about fighting poison with poison. As for the breast enhancement, that's just a side effect of the pill."
"As for the bottles, they are indeed the ones used for the Spirit Gathering Pills the senior sisters consumed earlier. Miao Miao noticed the senior sisters discarded the bottles after finishing the pills, so she simply collected them to store her refined pills. After all, these bottles are quite beautiful and possess properties that preserve potency—wouldn't it be a shame to throw them away?"
Dongfang Jue wasn't concerned about the bottles, but rather the phrase "fighting poison with poison."
"Junior Sister, when you say 'using poison to counter poison,' are there any other side effects?"
Miaomiao flashed a sweet smile. "Rest assured, Senior Sister. I personally refined these pills. I'm quite confident in them."
With that, Dongfang Jue hesitated no longer. She took the pill from Miaomiao's hand and popped it straight into her mouth.
She had to admit, having grown accustomed to their master's elixirs, this ordinary pill felt somewhat unfamiliar.
Still, the brown pill was no bigger than a fingernail. Before she could taste it, it was already swallowed and gone.
"Thank you, junior sister! I'll find a place to digest this pill now and won't disturb your reading."
Miaomiao smiled and exchanged a few polite words before seeing Dongfang Jue off, returning to her book.
Finding a spot meant merely seeking a secluded corner in the courtyard. Dongfang Jue activated her cultivation technique, accelerating the refinement of the pill. She was already impatient to possess those proud little peaks!
Just thinking about it made her giddy!
It was just an ordinary pill, yet before Dongfang Jue had even completed one Great Circulation Cycle of her cultivation technique, she felt a sensation in her chest!
It felt like warm liquid bubbling within her chest, followed moments later by a sensation akin to clutching an ice cube in her bosom. Yet such minor fluctuations were utterly insignificant to General Dongfang.
Before long, Dongfang Jue felt her clothes growing uncomfortably tight. Though the constriction was slightly uncomfortable, she couldn't help but feel immense joy!
After completing one Great Circulation Cycle of his cultivation technique, he slowly withdrew his energy, exhaled deeply, and gently opened his eyes. He looked down below!
The moment to witness the miracle was at hand!
Marvelous! Absolutely marvelous!
The Ice Mist Flower's medical prowess truly lived up to its reputation—at this moment, Dongfang Jue couldn't even see her own little belly!
What met her eyes were towering peaks—the very twin peaks she'd longed for and dreamed of!
Though they clearly fell short of Li Shiyao's, this was more than enough!
She wasn't greedy and was easily satisfied—as long as she could let go of the jade pendant!
But before flaunting them to her two senior sisters, she needed to change clothes first. This outfit was suffocating her—it was simply too small for her current form!
The cut was too small!
Dongfang Jue rose and started jogging back to her room to change, but after just a few steps, she froze in place…
Hiss…
This thing just couldn't keep up with her pace!
The moment she started running, those two little peaks refused to stay put…
