Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 38 Resolving the Qi of the Soldier
If the Imperial Mausoleum City truly holds something that would shock the world, why did the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Primordial Holy Land, and the Myriad Demon Palace, thousands of miles away, know about it?

And their Great Zhou Dynasty is still unaware?
Even he, a prince born and raised in the Imperial Mausoleum City, had not heard a word of it.

"unless……"

Li Qiye frowned slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"I have delivered the message, so I will take my leave now."

The goddess of war stood up, preparing to leave.

In fact, Qin Linglong had asked her for another thing: to stay here and protect Li Qiye's safety for a period of time.

Based on their interactions today, it seems that the tenth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not need her protection.

However, she always kept her promises and decided to stay nearby for a few days before leaving.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Qiye suddenly spoke up.

He looked at the female war goddess who had stopped and asked, "By the way, I just heard you address General Qin by his given name. I suppose you are not his subordinate, nor are you a citizen of our Great Zhou."

"Given your talent and strength, I wonder why you not only willingly protected Qin Linglong's safety but also agreed to her request to travel thousands of miles to deliver a message?"

At this moment, the soundproof barrier around them had been removed, and Li Yueyao was carrying a wooden tray with a pot of tea and three cups on it, walking towards them.

Even from a distance, the rich aroma of tea can be smelled.

Because of her unique cultivation method, the female war goddess needed to hone her skills on the battlefield year after year, thus absorbing too much of the evil spirits of soldiers.

However, this technique is incomplete and cannot resolve the evil spirits.

Now, as her cultivation level improves, the evil spirits are becoming more and more powerful, and they are beginning to erode her mind.

Li Yueyao knew the Goddess of War's situation very well, as it was something the Goddess of War had told her personally in her previous life.

However, the female war goddess did not say how she resolved the "warrior's curse" later.

It now appears that she must have made some kind of deal with Qin Rentu, in exchange for protecting Qin Linglong.

What she wants to achieve remains unknown.

"Sorry, no comment."

The female war goddess calmly said, "This is a deal between me and Qin Rentu, and I won't let a third person know about it."

Knowing this would be the outcome, a glint flashed in Li Yueyao's eyes.

This former friend valued promises and commitments to an extreme degree, to the point of obsession.

All of this stemmed from the inner demons hidden within her heart.

As a being with a divine and demonic body, Li Yueyao naturally had a way to remove her inner demons, or rather, to devour them. She had also offered to help her, but the female war goddess refused without hesitation.

At that time, Li Yueyao understood that the female war goddess was not incapable of eliminating her own inner demons, but rather unwilling to do so.

"Sister War Goddess, you've come all this way to deliver this message, and you haven't even had a sip of tea yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Li Yueyao's mind raced, and she said with a smile, "This is top-quality spiritual flower tea, and it also contains a demon-repelling pill, which is just right to remove the evil energy in the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, the female warrior was taken aback, a strange light flashing in her usually calm eyes.

Linghua Tea!
Elixir of Evil!
Adding the evil-removing pill to the spiritual flower tea has the effect of calming the mind and spirit, and also has a certain effect of eliminating evil spirits, so she likes it very much.

But how did this woman know that?
Recalling the strange expression the girl had given her earlier, as if she had known her for a long time, she became even more puzzled.

Facing the gaze of the female war goddess, Li Yueyao stood beside Li Qiye with a smile on her face.

A pair of large, watery eyes stared at her, as if trying to see right through her.

In fact, this female war goddess had no secrets from Li Yueyao.

"Sister Yueyao, you have finally shown the role that a reborn person should play!"

Li Qiye sighed inwardly.

He was just thinking about how to bring up the investment when Li Yueyao unexpectedly came to his rescue.

Seeing the Goddess of War's ever-changing expression, Li Qiye's eyes gleamed with golden light as he calmly said, "The aura of war is indeed a good thing, but accumulating too much in the body will erode one's mind. Over time, it will eventually devour one's consciousness, turning one into a heartless killing machine."

Upon hearing this, the female war goddess froze on the spot, staring at Li Qiye with a face full of horror:
"How do you know this?"

"Goddess of War, let's chat over tea."

A smile appeared on Li Qiye's face as he spoke calmly.

The three of them then sat on the stone benches in the pavilion, where there were three cups of tea on the stone table.

Li Qiye took a small sip and frowned slightly.

The taste is still a bit strange.

Linghua tea has a light, pleasant fragrance.

However, after adding the "Demon-Expelling Pill," it has a strong medicinal aroma, and most people still can't get used to drinking this kind of tea.

The female warrior picked up the cup and drank it down in one gulp, as if it were wine, without caring about her image as a woman. It seemed that, like her personality, she had always been uninhibited.

"Who are you?"

The female war goddess looked at Li Qiye and Li Yueyao, her gaze shifting between the two, her heart filled with extreme doubt.

This Li Yueyao seems to know her very well, as if she has known her for a long time.

However, this tenth prince could tell at a glance that she was suffering from the afflictions of war.

The fact that one could see the evil spirit within her body suggests she possesses some kind of pupil technique, which can be explained. But what's going on with Li Yueyao?

How does this girl know so much about her?

I know she likes spirit flower tea, and she even wants an evil-removing pill added!

The female warrior searched her memory once again, but couldn't recall where she had seen Li Yueyao before.

Besides, Li Yueyao is quite old, while the other party is only sixteen years old. How could he have ever left the Great Zhou Dynasty?

You should know that she only came to the Great Zhou Dynasty last year, and this is her first time stepping into the Imperial Mausoleum City of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Actually, this question is not important."

Li Qiye slowly put down his teacup and said calmly, "The important thing is that I can help you get rid of the excess military aura in your body."

"How can I resolve this?"

The goddess of war suppressed her doubts and asked.

This is indeed the thing she wants to solve most right now; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to Qin Rentu's request to protect her granddaughter, Qin Linglong.

She could feel that the malevolent energy within her body had reached its limit and was about to erupt and devour her soul.

If her soul is completely devoured, she will become, as Li Qiye said, a heartless killing machine.

As for the deal with Qin Rentu, it was actually a divine weapon that could suppress the evil spirits of soldiers. It had to be worn by the body at all times and could not be separated from the body, otherwise the suppressed evil spirits of soldiers would erupt like a volcano and become even more violent.

"Please extend your hand."

Li Qiye spoke slowly.

The goddess of war frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then placed her hand on the stone table.

"I apologize for any offense I may have caused!"

Li Qiye grabbed the Goddess of War's hand directly.

He could clearly feel that the goddess of war's hand trembled slightly, as if she subconsciously wanted to pull away, but in the end she did not.

To be honest, the female warrior's hands were very white and smooth...

"I bother……"

What Li Qiye wanted to say was that these were all thoughts of the brain, and had nothing to do with him.
