Shen Qingxue's gaze was sharp as she scrutinized Shen Qingyue.

She sensed something was wrong.

Qingyue's complexion was unusually rosy.

Her neck...

Shen Qingxue's gaze remained fixed there.

There were a few faint red marks on her fair neck.

That is...

Shen Qingxue's pupils contracted sharply.

Her voice was as cold as ice. "You were practicing dual cultivation with someone?"

Shen Qingyue stiffened, then subconsciously shook her head.

No, I didn't.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Shen Qingxue already understood.

A surge of anger rushed to his head.

"You scoundrel, you lied to me again!" she angrily rebuked.

"How could you be so foolish? You haven't even held the ceremony to become dao companion, and you've already given yourself away so casually."

Do you know that once a man gets you, he won't cherish you anymore?

Shen Qingyue lowered her head, biting her lip, and remained silent.

Shen Qingxue's voice grew louder and louder. "You have Three-Element Spirit Root, so your cultivation speed is very fast."

You can first become dao companion with Ye Wushuang, request a large amount of Cultivation Resources, and raise your cultivation level to the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement.

Then, through dual cultivation, you can break through to the Seventh-Level Qi Refinement in one fell swoop.

This is the best choice.

Shen Qingyue raised her head.

She knew she couldn't hide it anymore.

She said, "It's not Ye Wushuang."

Shen Qingxue paused, "Who is it?"

Shen Qingyue opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

How so?

Is he supposed to be my brother-in-law?

My sister will be furious.

Even more frightening is that the older sister might harm her brother-in-law.

Shen Qingxue's gaze sharpened as she looked at her.

"Who exactly is it?" Her voice was icy cold. "Is it Foundation Establishment cultivator? Or a prodigy from the inner sect of the Evergreen Sect?"

Shen Qingyue shook her head. "None of those."

Shen Qingxue frowned deeply. "Tell me quickly, who is it?"

Shen Qingyue remained silent.

Shen Qingxue was so angry at her younger sister's nonchalant attitude that she gritted her teeth.

She took a deep breath, struggling to suppress her anger, and said coldly, "Don't tell me that the dao companion you've found is just an ordinary outer disciple of the Evergreen Sect, one of those useless people with Four-Element Spirit Root."

Shen Qingyue remained silent.

Judging from her reaction, Shen Qingxue had already guessed what was going on.

An indescribable anger and disappointment welled up in her heart.

She said with great anguish, "Do you know how badly I was ruined when I married that good-for-nothing brother-in-law?"

Shen Qingyue's expression changed instantly upon hearing this.

She raised her head, looked directly at Shen Qingxue, and said with a hint of displeasure in her voice.

"Sister, if it weren't for brother-in-law, you would have starved to death long ago. If brother-in-law hadn't gone bankrupt to support your cultivation, you wouldn't be where you are today."

Shen Qingxue was furious.

She hadn't expected her sister to contradict her like that.

"You..." She stared intently at Shen Qingyue, her voice almost shouting, "You really chose a good-for-nothing like your brother-in-law as your dao companion?"

Shen Qingyue couldn't answer.

He doesn't resemble his brother-in-law.

That's my brother-in-law.

Shen Qingxue looked at the hickey on her neck and the blush on her face, and her anger burned even more fiercely.

"They haven't left yet, have they?"

Shen Qingyue's heart tightened, and she shook her head repeatedly. "They've already left."

Shen Qingxue didn't believe it.

She flashed into the courtyard and headed straight for Shen Qingyue's boudoir.

He pushed the door open.

The blankets were piled haphazardly on the bed.

She abruptly threw off the covers.

There was no one inside.

But the bright red plum blossom on the bed sheet stung her eyes.

Shen Qingxue felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and a rush of Qi and Blood to her head.

She angrily pulled the covers back over herself, turned and walked out of her room, her gaze sweeping across the courtyard before finally settling on the door of the quiet room.

Shen Qingyue quickly stood in front of the door.

But Shen Qingxue flashed past her and pushed open the door to the quiet room.

Then, she saw the person in the quiet room.

A black robe.

He sat cross-legged on the futon.

It was a face she knew all too well.

Upon seeing the other person enter, Wang Mengde remained calm and said indifferently, "Long time no see."

Shen Qingxue was stunned.

She stared at Wang Mengde, her mind blank.

What are you doing here?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she realized what it meant.

Accompanying Qingyue was Wang Mengde.

Her ex-husband.

She's with her sister now.

Shen Qingxue felt a buzzing in her head, as if her whole body was about to explode.

A surge of overwhelming rage erupted from the depths of his heart, instantly engulfing his entire body.

Her eyes were practically spitting fire as she stared intently at Wang Mengde, her gaze filled with a desire to devour him alive.

"Wang... Meng... De..."

She pronounced the name slowly and deliberately, through gritted teeth, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying a deep-seated hatred.

"You actually... you actually dare to..."

Her voice grew louder and louder until it was almost a shout, sharp and piercing.

How dare you touch my sister!

Wang Mengde looked at the woman in front of him who was almost losing her mind, but his expression remained calm.

"Shen Qingxue." His voice was calm and unhurried. "We are already divorced. What happened between Qingyue and me is none of your business."

"None of my business?" Shen Qingxue's smile twisted and grotesque as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, "You ruined my life, and now you're trying to ruin my sister. You're telling me it's none of my business?"

Before she could finish speaking, a thought flashed through her mind.

A flash of cold light, and a cyan Flying Sword instantly appeared in her hand.

The sword was slender, its blade gleaming with a cold, eerie light, with faint runes flowing across it, radiating a sharp killing intent.

She wanted to kill that beast.

That damned beast ruined her back then.

Now, he's ruined her sister too.

That's truly despicable.

Shen Qingxue gripped her Flying Sword tightly, her spiritual power surging wildly within her body, ready to strike.

But at that very moment...

She saw Wang Mengde's palm, which had been illuminated by blinding lightning.

The electric arcs flickered wildly, crackling and popping, and the light was so bright it was blinding.

A terrifying aura rose from his body.

Shen Qingxue's pupils contracted sharply.

She sensed it.

Deadly danger.

That was a danger that could threaten her life.

How is that possible?

Isn't this good-for-nothing only at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement?

I am at the Seventh-Level Qi Refinement.

Just then, a white figure rushed in.

Shen Qingyue spread her arms wide, standing directly in front of Wang Mengde and protecting him behind her.

She looked at Shen Qingxue: "Sister, if you kill me... you big bad guy, I won't live either."

Her voice trembled, yet remained unusually firm.

Seeing her sister's state, Shen Qingxue was both angry and anxious, but she took the opportunity to sheathe her sword.

"You're foolish!" she snapped. "I introduced you to Ye Wushuang, and you said you liked women, but you actually chose this good-for-nothing."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyue's expression also darkened.

"Sister, if you mention Wang Mengde again, you can leave."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unprecedented coldness.

Shen Qingxue paused.

Her sister had never spoken to her like that before.

Never.

An indescribable anger welled up inside me.

Her own sister, her own sister, actually turned against her for this good-for-nothing?

She stared intently at Wang Mengde, the hatred in her eyes almost tangible.

"You damned piece of trash, why are you so selfish? You ruined me, fine, but why did you have to ruin Qingyue too?"

Wang Mengde frowned slightly. "Don't put it so harshly. Qingyue and I are mutually in love, how is that ruined?"

"That's right, that's right." Shen Qingyue nodded repeatedly, like a kitten guarding its food. "The big bad guy and I are truly in love."

Shen Qingxue watched the two of them working together, and she was so angry that her teeth ached.

She pointed at Wang Mengde, her voice trembling with emotion. "Do you know that Ye Wushuang has Dual-Element Spirit Root? He's only thirty-nine years old, yet he's already at the Peak Qi Refinement Refining, and Foundation Establishment is practically a certainty for him. If Qingyue follows him, she won't lack resources, and her future will be limitless!"

"Are you doing this for Qingyue's future?" Wang Mengde retorted, "You want to use Qingyue's future and happiness to climb the social ladder and gain connections with the Ye family."

Shen Qingxue paused.

She immediately flew into a rage.

"Yes, I just want to get in touch with the Ye family, so what?" Her voice was sharp and piercing.

"But Qingyue has cultivated the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, so she is destined to marry. What difference does it make who she marries?"

"If I don't marry a privileged person with connections, am I supposed to marry a good-for-nothing like you?"

Wang Mengde looked at her. "So, why did you insist on giving Qingyue this Cultivation Method in the first place? You had ulterior motives from the beginning; you just wanted to use Qingyue as a bargaining chip."

Shen Qingxue's thoughts were exposed, and her face instantly turned bright red.

Enraged and humiliated, she became increasingly agitated, pointing her finger at Wang Mengde's nose:

"You good-for-nothing! You only have Five-Element Spirit Root, and you're already thirty-two, yet you're only at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement of Qi Refining."

He might never be able to break through to the Seventh-Level Qi Refinement, let alone Foundation Establishment, in his entire life.

"What will Qingyue gain by following you?"

Wang Mengde said confidently, "There are many people who have Foundation Establishment the Five-Element Spirit Root. If they can Foundation Establishment, then naturally I can too. What others can give to Qingyue, I can give as well."

Shen Qingxue scoffed, "You think you can Foundation Establishment? You must have lost your mind."

Her voice suddenly rose in pitch:

"You clearly couldn't give Qingyue a future, yet you selfishly ruined Qingyue, you beast."

As Shen Qingxue spoke, she looked at Shen Qingyue and began to sow discord:

"Qingyue, did you see that? How selfish this beast is! He knows he can't give you a future, yet he's going to ruin you. He doesn't care about your future at all; he only cares about himself."

Wang Mengde frowned deeply.

This crazy woman has truly gone mad; she's actually starting to sow discord.

Shen Qingyue remained unmoved.

She looked at her sister, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"Sister, please stop trying to sow discord." Her voice was soft, yet exceptionally firm. "I just want us to be together. As long as we're together, nothing else matters."

Shen Qingxue paused.

She became even angrier.

"You're too young to understand anything," she snapped.

"When you get older, you'll realize how important Spirit Stone and resources are, and you'll regret it then."

She took a deep breath and softened her tone.

"Qingyue, although you are now a withered flower, you still possess Three-Element Spirit Root. I'm sure Ye Wushuang won't mind too much. You can't be my wife, but being my concubine is no problem."

She looked at Shen Qingyue and said, word by word:

"You should cut off all contact with that good-for-nothing Wang Mengde as soon as possible, focus on your cultivation, and accumulate Yin-Nature Power within your spiritual power. Even if you marry into the Ye family as a concubine, it will be a hundred times better than following that good-for-nothing."
