Chapter 243: Shiyuo Didn't Get Her Revenge
============================================================
Though the two Immortal Lords clearly had no intention of letting Su Cheng off, no matter what Li Shiyu said.
But Yu Lan seemed to have caught a whiff of something…
Could it be…?
"How did Shiyu know the Master no longer favored her?"
Yu Lan tentatively voiced her question, though her tone betrayed a hint of…
"Master doesn't even want to sleep with Shiyu anymore! Waaah! Shiyu is so scared! Shiyu is afraid Master will abandon Shiyu!"
Just as expected…
Su Cheng's panic this morning had been misunderstood by Li Shiyu!
"Shiyao, how could Master Su not care for you? He knows you're unhappy and is nearly worried sick!"
She had to admit, since Yulan had entered Lingxian Hall, this was the first time she'd ever seen Su Cheng like that.
Had she not known how deeply Su Cheng cared for Shiyu, she could never have imagined him displaying such a terrifying expression or smashing things in a frenzy!
"Is that so? But…"
Truthfully, Su Muchan and Dongfang Jue were both dumbfounded. After all, Su Cheng had nearly scared the pants off Su Muchan!
And this Li Shiyu was actually worried Su Cheng wouldn't like her?
If that wasn't liking her, did he intend to slaughter the entire world for Li Shiyu?
But if it were the two Immortal Lords behind her… slaughtering the entire world would probably be a breeze…
Hmph… Su Muchan now felt utterly foolish for worrying about Li Shiyao. This girl…
Simply put, that villain touched Li Shiyao's thigh, and Su Cheng seemed to have punished her for it!
But Li Shiyao clearly didn't get it—she thought Su Cheng didn't like her anymore!
That's why she ran to the Spirit Pool Hall, scrubbing every inch of her body raw!
Truth be told, the big fox understood perfectly well, but the pink-haired loli seemed…
"Xiao Ai understands. Amber, you two go back. That bastard… just killing him would be too easy on him! Xiao Ai is going to see her!"
"If Xiao Ai doesn't beat the shit out of him, it'll be his own damn fault for clamping down so tight!"
"Damn it! How dare you look down on my Shiyu?"
The Immortal Lord's words made Li Shiyu cry even harder!
Hearing Yulan's words, Li Shiyu had just calmed down a bit, but now she couldn't hold it together anymore!
She clung to the Great Fox's skirt, wailing as if dying!
"Sister! Elder Yu Lan, please help Shiyu! Shiyu doesn't want to be hated by our Master!"
"Waaah… Shiyu has washed it so many times already!"
"Shiyao didn't sleep with that bad man. It's just… waaah… Shiyao wasn't in her own body at the time… Shiyao truly knows she was wrong…"
"Shiyao couldn't move back then…"
"Shiyao will never dare again…"
The great fox listened, his heart breaking into pieces!
Is this master a beast? How dare he bully my Shiyu like this!
Who the hell could stand this?!
Watching the expressions of the two Immortal Lords gradually twist, Yu Lan realized that the only chance to save Su Cheng now lay in her hands!
Given how reasonable the two Immortal Lords were, if they caught Su Cheng, his excuses would likely be worthless…
That would be a dead end.
In other words, to save Su Cheng, she had to appease Li Shiyu before the two Immortal Lords!
She had to explain everything clearly to the two Immortal Lords before Su Cheng returned!
Otherwise, even if Su Cheng were given a chance to speak upon his return, it would be futile…
"Shiyao, do you trust Yulan?"
Li Shiyu slowly peeked out from the great fox's embrace, her small face full of hurt. "Elder Yulan…"
"Yu Lan swears on his life that Sect Leader Su would never look down on Shiyu. It was Shiyu who misunderstood Sect Leader Su."
Before Li Shiyu could respond, the great fox spoke up!
"Misunderstanding my ass! That Su Cheng is no good! If you ask me, Shiyu, you should come with your big sister. With me around, no one will ever bully Shiyu!"
"But… I don't want my master to dislike me… Elder Yulan, Sister Liu, Sister Xiang, please help me?"
"Don't worry, Shiyu. Xiao'ai will get revenge for you!"
Yu Lan couldn't help but feel these two Immortal Lords were seizing any excuse to stay put—as if they'd finally found a chance to take down Su Cheng and were now playing dumb!
At this point, Li Shiyu grew impatient!
She lifted her head and slowly stood up.
"Shiyao doesn't want revenge. Shiyao only wants Master to like Shiyao…"
Everyone called Shiyu dull, everyone called her passive and submissive. But at this moment, Li Shiyu was exactly as Ye Qinghan and her master had hoped—she truly seemed to have grown up.
No longer meek and submissive, she could voice her own thoughts and pursue the life she desired.
The two Immortal Lords exchanged a glance, a shared sense of helpless bitterness welling up in their hearts.
"What do you think?" The great fox stared at the pink-haired loli, posing a riddle only she could understand.
"Xiao Ai doesn't know. Since there's no chance, Xiao Ai has things to attend to."
"You're leaving?"
He's back. Haku knelt on one knee behind Xiao Ai, who leaned back against her shoulder and stretched lazily.
"Is he?"
"I can smell him."
"Should we meet him?"
"Meet him? Shiyu might just start crying again."
Xiao Ai grinned wryly, her expression resigned to Li Shiyu's inevitable tears.
When Su Cheng returned, Yu Lan and Dongfang Jue opened the door. Su Muchan stood watching from a distance, while Li Shiyao had gone to take another bath…
Su Cheng had rushed back as fast as he could, arriving the moment he could!
"Did anyone come by?"
Yu Lan nodded. "Li Shiyu's so-called 'good sister' and 'good younger sister.' They sensed Shiyu was hurt and came to confront her."
"Huh? Never mind the sisters for now—Shiyao's hurt?"
Su Cheng thought to himself, Is that right?
She had the Chaos Bell he gave her—who could possibly hurt her?
Before returning from the Northern Realm, Su Cheng had already given Li Shiyu a thorough physical examination.
Injured? Though Li Shiyu appeared delicate and fair-skinned, she was tougher than he was!
Ordinary blades couldn't even scratch her!
Damn it, I should have slaughtered every last one of those Heavenly Dao Pavilion bastards…
"Where is Shiyu?"
He hurried to the Spirit Pool Hall, stopping before the door to knock softly.
"Shiyu, are you in there?"
"Master… Master? Are you looking for Shiyu?"
"Yes, I have something to discuss with you."
"Um… Master, please wait a moment. Shiyu will be right out."
This time, Li Shiyu had learned her lesson. She tidied her appearance and attire within the Spirit Pool Hall before emerging.
She wore the Ethereal Glow Skirt, her long hair pinned up with a jade hairpin inlaid with gold-threaded floral patterns. At her wrists hung jade bracelets and gold bangles, while around her neck rested the custom-made necklace gifted by the Divine Sovereign.
The Chaos Bell, radiating golden divine aura, hung at her waist, while the Heart-Bewitching Bells jingled softly with each step, announcing the arrival of the Holy Maiden.
Li Shiyao was lazy, not that she couldn't apply makeup at all. After all, the Holy Mountain had strict requirements for the Holy Maiden's appearance and demeanor.
She applied a light, simple makeup, even enhancing the natural, luscious pink of her lips with a touch of color.
Hmm… Li Shiyao gazed at her reflection and forced a smile. She deemed it flawless, utterly perfect.
This was perfectly natural—her master would never notice!
Chest out, head up, mind your posture~
Smile~ Keep eyes forward~
Just like always. Master would never notice…
In the Main Hall of Lingxian Hall, Li Shiyao exhaled deeply. Peering through the doorway, she stepped inside with the regal bearing of an empress ascending the throne…
Reaching the center of the Main Hall, Li Shiyu spoke slowly.
"Second disciple of Lingxian Hall, Li Shiyu, greets the Master. May I ask why the Master summoned me?"
Master Su was stunned. Had his second disciple been possessed by a spirit?
"Shiyao, what's happened? What's wrong with you?"
Li Shiyu knelt slowly in the center of the hall. Truthfully, she felt this was how things should be. Master would surely dispel his doubts soon!
"This disciple does not understand the Master's meaning. I humbly request the Master's guidance."
