Although she looked rather disheveled after falling into the water, even Su Yu had to admit the enchantress's assets.
Beneath the wisps of smoke and before the shimmering blue waves, Qi Qi, her hair flowing freely, possessed fair and radiant skin, exquisitely beautiful features, a graceful and alluring figure, and crystal-clear lips. When she pouted slightly in anger, she appeared even more adorable. Her jet-black hair cascaded like water, adorned with a golden hairpin crafted from Immortal Tear Green Gold, trembling slightly. Pearls and jade shimmered with golden light, and long tassels rippled with auspicious glow. Her long, slender, and shapely legs stood gracefully, truly captivating.
Touching the object in her arms, Qi Qi discovered that the Goddess Furnace had disappeared. Her scheme had failed, which made her even more frustrated. She could only sit back down angrily, her chest heaving, glaring resentfully at Su Yu.
"I'd like to see what happens to a villain like you when you fall in there," she said through gritted teeth, her brows furrowed, and her rainbow-like eyes gleaming with an eerie light. Her desire to murder her husband was blatantly obvious, without the slightest hint of pretense.
This enchantress lives life so realistically.
But it is precisely this authenticity that I love about her.
Seeing that the femme fatale still wanted to cause trouble, Su Yu took out the Goddess Furnace from his sleeve, which finally intimidated her.
This furnace was not forged by Hengyu, but by Su Yu himself, making it Supreme Artifact far more powerful than the Divine Furnace of the Human Desire Dao.
Previously, it fell into Zixia's hands, and the Daughter of the Ruins was one of its victims.
After being put in the furnace, even the forbidden women couldn't withstand it. Now, she's like a submissive wife, following Zixia everywhere, accepting her role as the head maid, and doesn't dare to have any other thoughts.
It was precisely because of the potency of this thing that Qi Huoshui set her sights on it. She harassed Zixia for several months, calling her "good sister" countless times, which annoyed Zixia to no end. Only after throwing the pot away did Zixia escape the torment of the demoness.
Unexpectedly, the plan failed at the very second step, and the furnace was taken back by the demon.
" Qi Qi'er, I've been completely open and honest with you, and all you do is plot against me?" Su Yu questioned.
"Hmph! (╯^╰)!"
The enchantress raised her head high, propped herself up on her two genitals with her right hand, making them sway, and said disdainfully, "Is this all you call your sincerity? Shameless little thief, you don't remember a single good thing I did for you. Haven't I been sincere to you? I even served you hand and foot! All you do is bully me all day long."
"Look at you, Zixia Alternative Dao Attainment, Little Tingting, so young, is already close to touching the Emperor's Path. An Miaoyi has a child and is closely connected with those Huang... while I'm down on my luck, still without any results, and my cultivation is weak. It's all my fault for marrying you, you spendthrift! You're not bringing me any good fortune at all! You haven't put any thought into me whatsoever. I finally saw you come back and wanted to serve you properly, but you don't even appreciate it... Waaah..."
As she spoke, the little demoness began to sob, her eyes brimming with tears. She looked so pitiful, her frail, willow-like figure, combined with the shimmering light of the Immortal Tear Green Gold, truly a sight to behold.
Seeing that his princess was getting more and more outrageous, Su Yu shook his head, knowing that this girl needed a good beating. He didn't care and simply said, "If you keep causing trouble, I'll give this Bloodline Fruit to someone else."
Upon hearing this, Qi Qi immediately blinked, her heart filled with joy. There were still tears on her face, but the pitiful look was gone, replaced by a fawning smile, which looked rather comical.
"No, Uncle Su, I won't make trouble anymore, I won't make trouble anymore." She hugged Su Yu's waist and shook him, occasionally touching his clothes. Combined with her melodious voice, it was not without its own enjoyment.
"Capturing this guy back then was definitely the right decision." Su Yu savored the moment of bliss, once again affirming his actions five hundred years ago.
How could we possibly hand over such a haven of comfort to someone else!
The boy had truly done a good deed.
"Grandpa, I possess the bloodline of a demon god, the concentration of which has been tested by the Dream Dao Ancestral Tree. If I consume the Bloodline Fruit this time, do you think I can reach Alternative Dao Attainment?!" Qi Qi asked cautiously.
She is truly obsessed with achieving enlightenment through Alternative Dao Attainment.
She was truly envious of Zixia's impressive travels and couldn't forget it, hoping that one day she could reach that level as well.
When they return to the Demon Emperor Hall, Qi Lin will only be fit to be her horse-riding servant!
" Alternative Dao Attainment to Alternative Dao Attainment? So what? Look at those few Great Accomplished Tyrant Body, how terrified they were by the Lord of the Deep. We can't just look at appearances," Su Yu said seriously.
"Yes, yes, sir, you're absolutely right... So... can I achieve Alternative Dao Attainment?"
Chapter 744 The Art of Changing Fate, Heavenly Tyrant Blood
Qi Qi blinked her big eyes, her clear black pupils seemingly overflowing with tears, and nestled her soft, boneless body against Su Yu, her longing almost overflowing.
"Simply pursuing magical power is a inferior approach. Your mindset is truly worrying." Su Yu sighed softly, stroking her soft, black hair, and said earnestly, "If your state of mind and magical power are not in harmony, it will lead to a great disaster."
"Mmm~"
Qi Huoshui nodded obediently, her gentle smile incredibly charming. Her fair cheeks pressed tightly against Su Yu's shoulder as she listened to her husband's teachings, displaying a picture of marital harmony and gentle femininity.
In reality, this vixen harbored deep resentment towards him.
Is there a discrepancy between one's state of mind and one's magical power?
The demon before us is the most typical example, employing all sorts of heinous methods; he is truly a person devoid of virtue. How could he be worthy of the immense magical power he possesses?
If she weren't lacking in skill, she would have long ago devoured Su Yu, taken his place, become the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, rule Kun Court, and forged an unparalleled legend...
"Have you not heard of the old myths? That Wang Bo, born with Chaotic Blood and incredibly fortunate, was ultimately killed and his clan wiped out because of his flawed mind and desire to compete with the Dao Venerable!"
" Di Que the same. He was defeated and lost everything at the Great Saint Realm. With his talent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to challenge the monkey again after reaching the Quasi-Emperor. It was his arrogance that led him to this end. Qi Qi'er must learn from their mistakes."
Su Yu patiently instructed Qi Qi, expressing regret when he spoke of Di Que, which made people shake their heads. At the same time, he gently stroked Qi Qi's head with his left hand.
The woman found it very strange. After thinking for a while, she realized that this situation was just like when she was petting her own pet in her palace. She instinctively wanted to get angry. She was not Azure Jade Dragon, and being petted was very uncomfortable for her. She could not enjoy it at all.
But thinking of the Bloodline Fruit, she forced herself to endure it.
"To temporarily succumb is not a disgrace..."
Qi Qi recited the sayings of the ancients, her eyes sparkling with a strange light, staring intently into Su Yu's eyes, giving him a positive emotional boost. This obedient appearance pleased the latter greatly.
Admittedly, he knew the vixen's nature, but watching her insincerely try to please him and pretend to be a lady was not without its own pleasure.
" Qi Qi, you must remember this: Venerable possesses magnanimity and achieves greatness. Never emulate Wang Bo and Di Que, who relied on their bloodline and became arrogant and haughty, ultimately leading to their miserable defeat!"
"Grandpa, I really listened to everything, I really remembered it. That fruit... Bloodline Fruit..." Qi Huoshui said, licking her lips, a little anxious. As she spoke, her delicate tongue darted out, releasing a fragrant aroma that included not only the scent of a demoness but also the unique fragrance of the Qilin flower, making one feel refreshed.
This enchantress was extremely extravagant, keeping a batch of Qilin Tree and bathing herself daily in spring water brewed from their pollen. Over time, her entire body was imbued with this special fragrance, giving her a serene beauty, like Crimson Pearl Fairy transformed from plants.
Taking a deep breath of the fragrance, Su Yu was somewhat distracted, but he quickly regained his composure, stroked the sky and sun, gazed down at the universe, and recited a beautiful verse.
"Observe the Way of Heaven, uphold the Way of Heaven, and all is accomplished... Heaven has five luminaries; those who see them prosper. The five directions reside in the heart, entering the Immortal Platform. The universe is in one's hand, all transformations arise from the body. Nature has its skill and clumsiness, which can be concealed. The evils of the nine orifices lie in the three essentials, which can be controlled by movement and stillness..."
This is a profound understanding of the Natural Dao Hengyu gleaned in his later years; it can dispel the thieves within your heart!
Soon, under the sobering influence of this ancient scripture, the thief in her heart realized that Su Yu was deliberately teasing her and deliberately not taking out the Bloodline Fruit.
And what does this scripture mean?
I'm practically paying for it myself, and you're still complaining?
This instantly enraged Qi Qi, who had been feeling wronged all day. She transformed from a gentle and quiet young lady into a Witch, her hair standing on end and her whole being exuding an evil aura. The contrast between her before and after was too stark.
"I'll fight you to the death!" she shouted fiercely, pinching the soft flesh of Su Yu's waist with both hands. Her slender fingers squeezed hard, and in order to target a Chaos Supreme, the tips of her fingers were covered with Dao patterns, concealing great supernatural powers.
The next moment, a scream echoed through the clouds. The demoness was seen curled up, her hands and feet tucked into a ball. Underneath her gold-embroidered dress, her snow-white skin was covered in a large purplish-blue stain with four black finger marks, as if she had been pinched with great force. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to turn a Quasi-Emperor of the Heavenly Demons into this state.
The attack she launched ultimately hit herself.
"You bad thing... you only know how to bully me..." Qi Qi really cried, her eyes filled with tears and her eyes were red.
She hadn't suffered such a great loss in a long time, especially against this devil, and she couldn't even retaliate; she could only suffer the consequences alone.
The Heavens is truly unfair; why wasn't she Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo with Chaotic Blood, an innate sacred body, or Immortal Spirit?
Otherwise, why would she need to be so humble...?
Thinking of all this, the noble princess was overcome with grief and burst into tears, wailing as if her husband had died, lamenting that she was a pitiful widow with no one to care for her and no one to love her, suffering neglect and bullying in this deep palace. Su Yu's face darkened as he listened.
That's cursing yourself to die!
" Qi Qi'er, that's enough. You pinched me so hard, and I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already crying foul." He looked at her with a hostile expression, already having prepared his whip.
"You are the Supreme, the Heavenly Emperor. Even without using Dao patterns, I can't break through your defenses... Waaah, I even specially used Peach Blossom Dew to cleanse myself today. If you're like this, I won't come anymore. Give me back my Peach Blossom Dew."
Commandery Princess Qi, her eyes red with tears, lamented the loss of the Peach Blossom Dew. Even as Quasi-Emperor, she possessed very little of this precious dew, for it could only be collected from the sweet dew that flowed down from the petals of the Flat Peach Immortal Tree when it bloomed, nourished by the Immortal Spring.
In the past, within the forbidden zone of the Divine Ruins, there were people who specialized in collecting this kind of resource to supply the women of the forbidden zone, and there was quite a considerable stock. However, now that there are too many women in Kun Court, there isn't much left for her. The Flat Peach Immortal Tree will not bloom again for another five thousand years, and even with the nourishment of Immortal Qi, it will take more than three thousand years, which makes the flower dew even more precious.
Since this wicked man recites calming mantras and has no desire for union, why should she bother preparing floral dew and deliberately serving him?
Sensing Qi Qi's emotional turmoil, Su Yu paused, reflecting on the past and feeling a pang of guilt.
This enchantress had been waiting for this day for a long time, full of anticipation... and she had indeed gone too far just now.
" Qier, don't be angry. Don't you know how I feel about you?" He stretched out his palm, the Dao principles in his palm flashing as red as blood, like Huang feathers, to heal the bruises on her waist.
A wave of warmth washed over Qi Qi, and she felt her limbs and bones stretching and relaxing. Her waist felt warm and cozy, as if ten thousand larks were spreading their wings. All her meridians seemed to come alive again. In this wonderful state, most of her previous frustrations disappeared without her realizing it.
But she still tilted her head, wiping away the tears in her eyes, refusing to look at Su Yu. Her body, half-lying in his arms, twisted and turned like a snake, her slender and supple waist dazzlingly beautiful.
One person offered comfort, the other remained angry. After several breaths, the two were snuggling together again. The woman smiled charmingly, her every frown and smile gentle yet playful, her voice carrying a silvery laugh, clear and melodious. They seemed like teenagers in love, time seemingly frozen in their presence. The golden sunlight fell, casting a layer of reddish-gold frost over everything, making it appear incomparably magnificent.
"I have a gift for you," Su Yu said, kissing the woman's forehead after a period of intimacy.
Qi Qi was lying on her side in his arms, her jade-like arms wrapped around Su Yu's neck, her long eyelashes still glistening with moisture, making her look captivating and alluring.
"It's the Bloodline Fruit!" Qi Qi said with certainty, because Su Yu had mentioned this divine object before, and she couldn't forget it.
"You have three choices, but only one gift. It's up to you to choose."
With a flick of his sleeve, Su Yu instantly filled the air with pure energy, shimmering light, and a misty spiritual aura. Three wisps of Chaos energy appeared, radiating powerful fluctuations.
"Three choices?!" Qi Qi was surprised, then looked expectantly at the three orbs of light in mid-air.
"The first one is 'a quarter of the Supreme Dao Fruit '," Su Yu said slowly. "This Dao Fruit comes from an Great Ancient Emperor and was intercepted by me at the extreme level. With your talent, if you refine it, you have a chance to reach the Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, but whether you can touch the Emperor's Path depends on your own Fortune."
Qi Qi was secretly shocked, her heart trembling, and she instinctively wanted to accept it. Half of the Supreme Dao Fruit, representing the highest achievement of the Great Ancient Emperor, was now within her grasp.
If word gets out, it will absolutely cause a sensation. Even those on the Almost-Enlightened One Dao will be tempted and will definitely try to seize it. The Dao Fruit of those who have achieved Dao in the past are simply too heaven-defying.
"Even the Undying Immortal Tree wouldn't be this valuable," Qi Qi thought to herself, her beautiful eyes crinkling into crescent moons with delight.
Her little man still has feelings for her.
It was worth it for me to have humbled myself before him and served him so diligently and without complaint for so many years.
"The second one is Bloodline Fruit nurtured by the World Ancestral Tree. It can greatly enhance the innate talent and physical attributes of beings born with innate abilities. It can also be used by beings born later in life, but the effect will be halved."
Su Yu continued, "You're very lucky. This time it's Bloodline Fruit from the Demon Clan race, which is perfect for you. Qi Qi, you possess the bloodline of an ancient celestial demon, but it's somewhat mixed, a hybrid of the Qilin, the Dark Water Serpent, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Dragon... This Bloodline Fruit can better regulate your ancestral bloodline and combine your bloodlines. After consuming it, you might reach a new level."
Qi Qi started grinding her teeth, feeling very conflicted. She had longed for the Bloodline Fruit for a long time, dreaming about it constantly.
Three hundred years ago, the World Tree first dropped Bloodline Fruit, which was picked up by Yang Yi of Jade Lake Palace.
Yang Yi was of average appearance and not outstanding in Kun Court at all. However, after consuming the immortal fruit, her physical constitution underwent a transformation, and she actually awakened a small part of the Dao Embryo bloodline. She was naturally compatible with all kinds of Daos, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe her as having Myriad Dao Body.
Yang Yi's cultivation progressed rapidly afterward, reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm within a mere century. It was during this time that the legend of the Bloodline Fruit spread, making countless people envious.
This fruit is countless times more powerful than the artificial King Physique of the Dao Yan Lineage, and can affect the Quasi-Emperor realm.
One-third of the Supreme Dao Fruit... Bloodline Fruit exclusively belonging to the Demon Clan...
Qi Qi's eyes darted back and forth, unable to make a decision. Refining the former would be equivalent to obtaining the status of Ancient Emperor, while consuming the latter would bring about a qualitative change in her talent and physical constitution.
Both were good things, and she really wanted to swallow them both.
Qi Qi licked her lips, secretly glanced at Su Yu, and began to plan her evening.
