Chapter 315: The Master's Wife's Special Goods~
============================================================
"Senior Sister can guarantee you—there isn't."
"Why not?"
"Heh, if such a medicine existed, why wouldn't Master's Wife take it herself?"
"……"
As the sisters chatted, Li Shiyu approached with a cheerful smile.
Without a word, she casually grabbed a chicken drumstick and began eating.
Ye Qinghan, her fox-like head perked up, looked at her with indulgent affection: "Shiyao, Senior Sister is really curious about something~"
Li Shiyu seemed to snap out of her thoughts, pausing in surprise: "Hm? What is it?"
Ye Qinghan smiled and spoke plainly.
"Is the junior sister I know actually Dumb Yao? Or is she the Holy Maiden?"
"Senior Sister, Shiyu isn't dumb. Shiyu has always been very smart!"
"Hehe~"
Li Shiyu pouted, tugging at Ye Qinghan's arm and shaking it!
"Seriously! Senior Sister, don't laugh! Shiyu isn't dumb at all!"
"Aren't you going to check on Suyao? Isn't that a problem?"
Ye Qinghan spoke up tentatively for the first time in ages. Ever since emerging from the Dragon King's Trial Chamber, she had come to regard Li Shiyu as family.
"Shiyao doesn't want to worry about all that! Shiyao is a bit hungry right now~"
"Hehe, Shiyu has her own little secrets now~"
"Hehe… Senior Sister, please don't always laugh at Shiyu!"
Dongfang Jue watched the two of them. Even now, as the third direct disciple, she still envied the bond between her two senior sisters.
Ye Qinghan treated her quite well now, occasionally teasing her playfully but never pushing her away.
"Alright, alright. I'll just wait until Shiyu feels ready to tell her senior sister~"
But then she added, "Still, I think Shiyu should go see Suyao, don't you think?"
"Otherwise, if something truly happens, it might be too late for regrets."
Li Shiyu nodded, appearing to go through the motions, but in truth, she had already arranged for someone to follow her.
"Shiyao doesn't like that girl either. Shiyao just wants to bully her!"
"Hehe, then how about Senior Sister takes care of her for Shiyao?"
"No need for Senior Sister to lift a finger. Shiyu doesn't plan to kill her!"
Dongfang Jue simply watched as Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyu played their roles, their intentions almost entirely laid bare. Yet Li Shiyu persisted in feigning ignorance.
"Oh, right, senior sister, look at this. What do you think it is?"
Li Shiyu slyly changed the subject—and she genuinely had something valuable!
Watch as Li Shiyu pulled a packet of powder wrapped in black cardstock from her bosom!
Ye Qinghan and Dongfang Jue exclaimed in unison, "What is this?!"
"The last batch was all drunk by that wicked elder. Shiyu asked Sister Liu for another packet!"
Ye Qinghan glanced at Dongfang Jue, then back at the packet of powder in Li Shiyu's hand.
The black wrapping paper bore a baffling heart design—a sure sign its potency was beyond doubt.
"Is Shiyu planning to drug the Master again?"
"Hehe, Shiyu knows Senior Sister also wants to sleep with the Master. Shiyu is giving this packet of powder to Senior Sister!"
Ye Qinghan was flattered and surprised. Was Li Shiyu…
"Doesn't Shiyu want to sleep with the Master?"
Mentioning this made Li Shiyu a bit unhappy!
"Hehe, Shiyu wants to too. But last time Shiyu clearly slept with the Master, and still no baby!"
"Shiyao wants Senior Sister to bear one for me!"
Ye Qinghan's face, which had been flushed with flattery moments ago, instantly turned cold…
"Shiyao, are you serious?"
Li Shiyu's expression didn't look like she was joking at all.
"Of course I am. But I heard foxes can have quite a litter? Shiyu only needs to eat one!"
No sooner said than done. After giving Li Shiyu a lesson in ethics, Ye Qinghan proceeded to the practical application.
Learning from their previous failure, Li Shiyu now offered her senior sister advice!
At the inn in Dingzhou City, near the edge of Ling Mountain, Yu Lan tilted her head, watching three mischievous troublemakers huddled around Su Cheng's tea table, adding something to his tea…
"Do you think this will really fool our Master?"
Ye Qinghan felt uncertain too. Truthfully, the Master had virtually no guard against the three of them, so logically, he shouldn't notice.
But Master, aside from having a life as fragile as paper, was practically omnipotent!
Who could guarantee he wouldn't notice?
If he did… what then?
But Li Shiyao wasn't the least bit afraid right now. Last time, she was the mastermind!
But this time was different. This time she wasn't fighting alone!
A master's command must not be disobeyed—unless my senior sister accompanies me~
With her senior sister by her side, even if the sky fell, it wouldn't crush her~
If the Master caught her, she'd just play dumb and babble nonsense—let's see what the Master could do about it~
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Master didn't catch us last time, and this time Shiyu has everything planned!"
"Really?" Ye Qinghan looked skeptical, feeling it was still unreliable…
"Senior Sister, I've already made arrangements with Elder Yulan. Today, there's only this one teapot in the Master's room~"
Li Shiyu smirked inwardly. Could the little Master possibly escape Shiyu's grasp?
After all, Master doesn't eat much, but she drinks quite a lot of tea every day~
"By the way, where is the Master?"
Even the ruthless Ye Yanwang felt a twinge of nervousness. After all, this was a blatant act of rebellion, as clear as day!
If it succeeded, then nothing would matter. She refused to believe the Master would expel her from the sect just by pulling up his pants~
But if she messed this up…
Dongfang Jue was lying on the Master's bed: "Elder Yulan said the Master went out to play."
Ye Qinghan was now on edge, after all, she was about to drug her master. She couldn't afford to be careless.
"Where's that Chu Youwei?"
Dongfang Jue lay sprawled across Su Cheng's bed, flipping through a book resting on her master's nightstand. It was a military treatise, and she found it rather intriguing.
It mentioned many magical artifacts she'd never heard of before, like missiles. She didn't know what kind of artifact it was, but it seemed capable of striking targets far away.
The book contained many fascinating concepts, describing warfare methods far beyond her understanding. Instead of deploying troops in formations, armies employed more efficient means of annihilating the enemy.
Dongfang Jue casually replied, "I heard he was sent to the Northern Realm by the Master."
Ye Qinghan felt a twinge of confusion. "To the Northern Realm? For what purpose?"
Dongfang Jue's mind was elsewhere entirely—she was already deeply immersed in her master's military treatise!
Each page brought fresh revelations!
Tactical interweaving, blitzkrieg… Brilliant!
The detailed explanations of various battle examples—though many terms remained unclear—had already left her profoundly shaken!
Such military strategies, if applied correctly, could surely…
"I heard it's about finding something for Master. By the way, Senior Sister, have you ever been to Master's library?"
"No, I don't care for reading."
Ye Qinghan had long harbored the idea of feeding her master some peculiar immortal pills. Otherwise, she wouldn't have proactively requested that introductory alchemy manual. As for the library? She'd never set foot in it.
She didn't particularly care about that, but…
Chu Youwei went to find something for the Master? What could it be? And in the Northern Realm?
She was the Demon Emperor of the Northern Realm. Why didn't the Master seek her out? Why send Chu Youwei instead?
Was her master…
Treating her like an outsider?
Ye Qinghan's expression instantly turned cold. She lifted her gaze to Li Shiyao, who was holding the teapot, and said in a chilling tone.
"Pour it all in. Every last drop."
Li Shiyao was momentarily bewildered and tried to explain, "Senior Sister, Liu said only a little bit is needed. She said too much would be unbearable."
"Senior Sister can handle it! Pour it all in!"
