After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 181 - 181 Family Head Ye’s Fragrance



181 Family Head Ye’s Fragrance

Ye Danqing instantly burst out and restrained Duan Lanruo.

Duan Lanruo, however, was not anxious. She laid down on the jade bed mat and leaned against the pillow behind her. She said lazily, “Family Head Ye, is this how you treat your benefactor? It sure is heart-chilling!”

“What kind of benefactor are you?” Ye Danqing was so angry that she laughed. She felt it was ridiculous, “How dare you humiliate…”

Before she could finish, Duan Lanruo interrupted her with a cold smile, “Humiliate? Isn’t this the best method?”

Ye Danqing had been tricked into eating that mysterious thing. She was furious. “The best method? Seeing that you’re eating with such relish, I’m afraid that Jiang Feng has already used some sort of method to control your mind. The City Lord of City of Ten Thousand Swords actually did such a lowly thing. That Jiang Feng really has good methods. I originally thought that he was just being sentimental, but I didn’t expect him to be such a despicable person!”

She did not know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that the taste in her mouth was a little off. However, in reality, there was no taste when it entered her mouth, and it even instantly transformed into pure yang energy, making her feel a little good and comfortable. Of course, the head of the Xuanyin family would never admit this.

She would only feel that he was really despicable, that she could not even spit it out!

However, before Duan Lanruo could refute her, Ye Cike became anxious, “Mother, it’s not her fault. City Lord Duan and I are doing this willingly. We like him, that’s why we’re…”

Ye Danqing was even angrier. She turned around and said in grief and anger, “You’re a disappointment!”

Ye Cike had always been weak in front of her mother. After being reprimanded, she immediately whimpered subconsciously and did not dare to speak with tears in her eyes.

But this time, she still mustered up her courage and whispered, “He didn’t know to begin with.”

“You ... You unfilial child!” Ye Danqing was so angry that she could not even speak.

At first, she could still comfort herself that it was Jiang Feng who was despicable and shameless. He had tricked her daughter into eating it, but the child was not willing to do so.

As for how he was going to trick her, he naturally made use of City Lord Duan, who was already under his control. With this beautiful woman’s cunning and deep mind, wouldn’t it be easy to trick Ye Cike?

Now, she was actually saying that Jiang Feng didn’t know.

Didn’t this mean that whether it was her innocent daughter or the wily Duan Lanruo, both of them had given up on themselves?

The more Ye Danqing thought about it, the more she found it hard to understand.

Duan Lanruo looked at her conflicted expression, and her smile remained unchanged. “Family Head Ye’s words are wrong. How is Cike unfilial? She has already found a way for the Xuanyin family to rise to the top. Taking a step back, even if Family Head Ye doesn’t have such an ambition, you wouldn’t want to see your clansmen suffer a short life, right? You wouldn’t want them to be like the mayflies of the world, to live and die in the morning, to be lost in the splendor of the world for a moment, and to be unable to leave their legacies behind.”

Ye Danqing stared at her and did not relax her grip. She gritted her teeth and said, “Even so, there’s no need to use such a disgusting method.”

“There’s indeed no need.” Duan Lanruo smiled faintly. “As long as the entire Xuanyin family dual cultivates with the despicable scoundrels you speak of, the problem will naturally be solved. You won’t have to suffer this humiliation.”

Ye Danqing’s face was extremely ugly. She said with hatred, “Where is he? I’ll kill him and take out the Xuanyang Pearl!”

“Take it out?” Duan Lanruo asked. “How does Family Head Ye want to get it? The Xuanyang Pearl is a body of pure energy condensed from yang energy. It has long been integrated with him. Do you dare to try to kill him? When the Xuanyang Pearl is gone, you won’t even have a place to cry.”

“Besides, are you really willing to give up such an opportunity?” she smiled. “The pride that your Xuanyin family has held for thousands of years, or the chance to change your fate, which one do you choose?”

Ye Danqing’s expression changed several times. Her thoughts were fluctuating violently. She was speechless and unable to speak.

Whoosh!

The City Lord of ten thousand swords smiled and seized the opportunity to grab Ye Danqing’s hand, who had unconsciously loosened her grip. With a flip of her body, she pressed the family head of the Xuanyin family under her.

“You!” Ye Danqing’s eyes widened. She did not expect the sudden change in the situation.

“Family Head Ye, you’ve actually already eaten it, so what can you do? Can you even change anything?” Duan Lanruo said unhurriedly, “There’s only benefit and no harm, yet you insist on being so arrogant... When the time comes, if you don’t tell your clansmen, who will know what this is? Just like I said, this is the best method. Could it be that you really want all of your clansmen to dual cultivate with my Little Junxuan? Even if you agree, I won’t allow it.”

Ye Danqing had to admit that the City Lord’s eloquence was truly exceptional. She was actually tempted for a moment.

However, it was only for a moment. How could the thousand years of dignity of the Xuanyin family be used as a life-saving straw? There must be another way...

The head of the Xuanyin family had already begun to take a step back in her heart. At worst, since Cike truly did like that fellow, she would just let them be together. When they gave birth to a child, perhaps the child’s bloodline would change. If the Xuanyin bloodline could be changed as a result, then why would the predecessors have to make such a fuss?

However, before Ye Danqing could sort out her thoughts, Duan Lanruo suddenly revealed a kind expression and said, “Cike, it seems like your mother doesn’t really understand the benefits of this.”

Ye Danqing was stunned for a moment. Then, her expression changed and she struggled. “What do you want to do?”

Duan Lanruo turned to Ye Cike and said with a smile, “Give your mother all the good stuff that you’ve collected with great difficulty.”

Ye Danqing was pressed down by the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, her black hair messily spread on the mat. She stammered, “Y-you can’t be so ridiculous. How could you do this to your mother?”

She looked a little flustered.

Ye Cike picked up the porcelain bottle and walked to Ye Danqing’s side. Her face was full of shame and embarrassment, but she still bit her lip and said, “Mother, I can’t do anything about it. I really, really like him. If it wasn’t for this, you and the elders in the family would have separated me from him. I… Ican’t bear it.”

“Ye Cike!” Ye Danqing said. “You, you are unfilial!”

Duan Lanruo stretched out her hand to stroke the head of the Xuanyin family’s fair and beautiful face. She smiled like a fox, but her eyes were as deep as ink, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

“Ughh… Cough, cough!”

The head of the Xuanyin family was ashamed and indignant. She tried to force out the yang energy that had fused into her body, but she was helpless. Moreover, she suddenly discovered that her cultivation base at level nine of the Form Synthesis stage had already silently reached the peak.

Half-step Crossing Calamity stage!

Ye Danqing’s dejected and dazed expression suddenly froze. Then, she subconsciously licked the trace of ointment at the corner of her mouth.

The pure yang power and his own yin power blended perfectly, flowing into her Dantian and turning into spiritual energy without the slightest obstruction.

This…

The Xuanyin family head’s expression suddenly became very interesting.

she had expected that the yang energy would improve her cultivation, but she had never thought that it would be so terrifying. Just a little bit of it had such an effect.

For cultivators at the Form Synthesis stage, even medicinal pills did not have much effect. Ordinary cultivators would often go into seclusion for hundreds of years without making any progress.

But now, if she had another bottle, wouldn’t she be directly advancing into the Crossing Calamity stage? She would face the Lightning Tribulation immediately!

Ye Danqing’s eyes involuntarily fell on the empty bottle.

The Xuanyang Pearl had been passed down from generation to generation in the Xuanyin family. In fact, it was just returning to its original owner.
