Two Mortals' Scheme

Tianyuan City is a high-rise building with an area of over 200,000 square meters and ten floors.

Two figures, one in white and one in red, stood facing the howling evening wind. Upon closer inspection, they were about the same height, but each possessed her own unique beauty.

The woman in red had her hair styled in an updo, with a red plum blossom mark on her forehead. Her narrow, almond-shaped eyes, delicate face, and perfect figure gave her a captivating charm.

The woman in white wore only light makeup. Beneath her slender, willow-leaf eyebrows were a pair of large, clear, and lively eyes, with long eyelashes fluttering up and down with each blink. Her small, delicate nose breathed evenly, and her alluring red lips, like roses, made one's mouth water. Her jet-black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, swaying freely in the evening breeze.

Although the white dress was simple and elegant, it also added a touch of coldness to her appearance. However, the slight bulge in the front made her look less cold and more charming.

These two were none other than Su Du and Han Yu. They were no longer the young girls they once were. Their stunningly beautiful faces and mature, sexy bodies made them the envy of almost every wealthy young man in Tianyuan City.

One wields immense power, the other possesses boundless wealth; a single decision they make can influence the life and death of millions.

Su Du blinked and said lazily, "Xiao Yu, you're twenty-seven now, right? Why don't you have any plans to settle down? Do you look down on the people of Tianyuan City, or are you still thinking about your Brother Shen?"

Su Du had naturally heard Han Yu talk about Shen Ge, so she often brought it up to joke with Han Yu.

Han Yu's lips curled into a bright smile, and she answered irrelevantly, "Sister, aren't you the same? A princess of Qinghe Commandery, still unmarried at this age, no one would believe it if you told them."

"Ai, how did you convince your father that he hasn't even arranged a husband for you yet?"

"As your younger sister, I have to remind you of something about this. Although you've convinced your father, the Emperor might also be thinking about you. If you don't consider finding a husband soon, it might be difficult to refuse him if he tries to arrange one for you."

Su Du stretched, revealing her shapely figure. Then, she yawned and leaned lazily against the railing, her captivating eyes gazing flirtatiously at the street below.

"There's nothing I can do. Over the years, I've traveled all over the country, and I've never been interested in any of these men. Those famous martial arts heroes are nothing compared to the army; those generals and nobles are indifferent to me; as for those rich scions, they don't even have as much money as you, and your money is my money. So what do you think they have that can attract me? Do you think they can attract me with that stick I don't have?" Su Du chuckled at the end, seemingly very disdainful of men.

Han Yu covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying, "Sister, don't be so sure of yourself. How do you know it won't attract you if you haven't even tried it?"

"You talk like you've actually tried it," Su Du said with a sneer, then added, "By the way, are the fishing nets set yet?"

When it came to serious matters, Han Yu put away her playful attitude and said solemnly, "The hoes have been placed around the flower, and the insects have been sown. We're just waiting for it to rot completely. The roots are already rotten, so we're just waiting for the insects to bite them up."

"Very good, I've had my eye on this flower for a long time, Xiao Yu. This is our last chance. If it works out, our future will be much more than just a few decades."

A faint chill appeared on Han Yu's face, as if it were an unyielding block of ice. "Don't worry, I've arranged everything. Within ten years, this flower will be won over effortlessly."

"Remember to arrange things carefully so as not to damage the soil beneath the flowers, since you'll need that soil to provide nutrients if you want to replant them later."

"Although some damage is inevitable, it's not a big problem. I will try my best to keep it to a minimum."

Su Du nodded, then suddenly sighed, "Sigh, there's not enough time. I don't even know if we'll end up on that path. It's tough! Just thinking about all the plans I made makes my head spin. I feel like my brain isn't up to the task."

"I'm here for you, sister. I'll help you."

The two stared at each other for a long time, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Xiao Yu, taking you away from that little village was the smartest decision I ever made. I don't know what I would do without you by my side now."

"Sister, we're sisters, no need to be so polite. Besides, if it weren't for you, I might have spent my whole life getting married, having children, and raising kids."

Unbeknownst to anyone, two ordinary women were plotting a heaven-defying act, a scheme that could overturn the entire Southern Barbarian Lands!

Located on Ice and Snow Plateau in the Southern Barbarian Lands, a snow-capped mountain suddenly collapsed.

A figure burst through the gushing blood and soared into the sky.

"Hahaha, Old Man Wuya, in the end, I, your humble servant, am still the better one."

"Even with all your scheming, in the end you've only made things easier for me, hahaha..."

This person was Mo Shang, but he was no longer in a ghostly state; he now had a physical body. Upon closer inspection, however, it was clear that his body belonged to the Old Man Wuya, though he looked a bit younger.

Mo Shang raised his hand and summoned several array flags that broke through the thick snowdrifts and flew into the sky, landing in his hand. At the same time, there was also a long banner that was entirely blood-red.

"I never imagined this would be the final resting place of the Old Ancestor Youmo. You actually managed to find such a remote place, Wuya. You're certainly blessed. It's a pity you're not fortunate enough to enjoy such good fortune."

That blood-red banner was the Soul-Summoning Banner, stronger and more evil than the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and the nemesis of all Ghost Dao.

After putting these things away, Mo Shang looked around, then chose a direction and disappeared in a streak of light.

After all, this Ice and Snow Plateau is different from other places. It is rife with Demon Beast and extremely dangerous. Even many Nascent Soul Realm have perished here, so Mo Shang dared not linger for long.

Moreover, he had only just taken over this body and hadn't fully adapted yet, so it wasn't the right time for a major fight.

Shen Ge, who was drawing a talisman in the Spirit Moon Sect thousands of miles away, suddenly lost his hand and ruined the talisman. However, he didn't care. Instead, he murmured with some strangeness, "Strange, why do I feel uneasy today? Is something going to happen? But what could happen while I'm in the sect?"

Unable to figure out the source, Shen Ge stopped drawing talismans. After all, drawing talismans in his current state would only be a waste of materials, so he might as well cultivate his mind and calm down.
