Borrowing a sword

Chapter 318 "Lin Qingci, did you give it to him?"

The capital city, the Prince Rui's residence.

The Crown Prince was completely bewildered by his ancestor's words.

But he wasn't stupid; he keenly sensed something fishy.

"What happened in the Imperial Pool might be more complicated than I thought!" he thought to himself.

Otherwise, why would the patriarch ask where Chu Huaixu's body and the bead were right away?
This means that the ancestor believed that Chu Huaixu was dead!
"Could it be that the Ancestor personally attacked him within the Imperial Pool?"

"Moreover, he escaped death."

"Besides that, the ancestor may have paid a huge price, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly fallen into a deep sleep!"

The more Qin Xuanxiao thought about it, the more alarmed and terrified he became.

With his mere cultivation at the third realm, how could Chu Huaixu possibly accomplish such a heaven-defying feat?!

A storm raged in the Crown Prince's heart.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

There must be something wrong with my thinking!

The still somewhat weakened Ancestral Emperor, seeing Qin Xuanxiao speechless for a moment, couldn't help but feel displeased.

"Xuanxiao, I'm asking you a question!" His majestic voice resounded in the other's mind, like a thunderclap exploding in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The junior, who was only at the third realm, felt a jolt in his soul, and his sea of ​​consciousness was filled with tremors and stinging pain.

After the initial pain subsided, he immediately stopped thinking about it and replied respectfully, while also subtly trying to extract information:
"Ancestor, did you attack Chu Huaixu inside the Imperial Pool? But... he's not dead!"

The next moment, Qin Xuanxiao's sea of ​​consciousness trembled once again.

Because the Ancestral Emperor began to roar in fury, his divine power surged outwards.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"His physical body was destroyed, his spiritual embryo was completely ruined, and his sea of ​​consciousness collapsed!"

"There is absolutely no chance of him surviving; he's dead three times over!"

The plan to seize the body was ruined, and Chu Huaixu perished along with his four strands of divine consciousness. This was the final outcome that occurred within the Emperor Pool from the perspective of the Ancestral Emperor!

Just that alone was enough to make him find it hard to accept.

A mere cultivator at the lower level of the third realm, a young man from hundreds of years in the future, actually used his lowly life to destroy four strands of my divine consciousness!
His soul was severely damaged, and whether he can fully recover in the future remains to be seen.

How could he not be angry?
Qin Xuanxiao was utterly shocked by these words.

"Chu Huaixu's physical body was destroyed, his spiritual embryo was ruined, and his sea of ​​consciousness collapsed?"

To put it bluntly, he really wanted to ask his ancestor: Are you kidding me?

According to the intelligence he obtained, after Chu Huaixu left the Imperial Pool, he was taken back to the monastery by Jiang Zhi. He was completely unharmed and had no injuries whatsoever!

Prince Rui could discern his ancestor's emotions from his tone.

This gave him an incredible and crazy idea.

"Could it be that our ancestor suffered a setback at his hands?"

Upon realizing this, he felt his body begin to stiffen.

The voice of the ancestral emperor still echoed in his mind.

"Under these circumstances, even if Chu Huaixu possesses rare and precious treasures, even if he has a ninth-grade spiritual pill, it is impossible for him to escape death by chance!"

Qin Xuanxiao could only reply blankly:
"But the old ancestor Chu Huaixu seems to be completely unharmed."

He was mentally prepared for his ancestor to go berserk, and for his sea of ​​consciousness to be shaken once again.

As a result, these words silenced the ancestral emperor.

He is now a "wandering ghost," without a physical body, so he won't be unable to cough up a mouthful of blood.

However, this result was something he absolutely could not accept!

In my life, I have traversed the world and been invincible!
Even after his death, he continued to control the Moon Kingdom and dominate the entire Western Continent!

How did this young man manage to trick me?

But the Ancestral Emperor was, after all, an unparalleled powerhouse from hundreds of years ago.

He must have been a man of exceptional wisdom and resourcefulness to have built such a empire.

Although hundreds of years have passed, he has undergone tremendous changes in his temperament and other aspects, and is no longer as rational as he was when he was alive.

However, once he calmed down a little, he had already filled in the details in his mind.

"He is doomed to die; I saw it with my own eyes."

"If what Xuanxiao said is true, and he is completely unharmed, then there is only one possibility!"

"That translucent cinnabar contains malevolent energy that devours all things in heaven and earth."

"But Chu Huaixu seems to have a secret method that allows the power devoured within this pill to nourish himself and be sent back to him!"

"With its unique body-refining abilities and the self-healing power brought by the Daoist Canon, it might be possible to recover after being nourished?"

This was the only reasonable explanation he felt was possible.

However, such methods of seizing the power of heaven and earth are simply inconceivable and unheard of!

He can even manipulate the most evil energy of heaven and earth at will?
Even I, the Emperor, could not do this!
But following this line of thought, the Ancestral Emperor was once again overjoyed.

"Doesn't this mean that my four strands of divine sense were not destroyed, and are very likely still inside that elixir pearl!"

In this way, there is a chance of recovery.

This gave the Ancestral Emperor a glimmer of hope. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly remembered something and immediately cried out in his heart, "This is bad!"

"If Chu Huaixu is completely unharmed, and Lin Qingci had already sealed her own will, taken three doses of aphrodisiac, and was already circulating the 'Wedding Dress' within her body, then wouldn't that be...?"

She is my personal concubine!!!
Inside the room, no matter how much Qin Xuanxiao called out to the ancestor, the ancestral emperor ignored him.

In fact, the reason he contacted Qin Xuanxiao immediately was simply because the [main soul] among the ten strands of divine thoughts was inside his body.

Both the Moon Empress and the female imperial advisor possess divided souls.

He was severely injured at this moment, and his two fragments of soul had not yet recovered to normal. It was estimated that it would take a while longer.

As for Lin Qingci, it was no use asking Qin Xuanxiao; the other party had no way of knowing about it.

From the perspective of the Ancestral Emperor, he originally thought that Chu Huaixu was dead beyond any doubt, and that the body he so admired was probably about to be destroyed by the evil energy.

Therefore, Lin Qingci's primordial yin will still belong to him in the future.

But as things stand now, it's hard to say!
He was the founding emperor of the Moon Kingdom!
In his heart, the Ancestral Emperor felt a sense of shame at having used such methods to forcibly take a woman's virginity, so he tolerated Lin Qingci's sarcastic remarks with a calm expression.

As an emperor, and the founding emperor at that, how could he be someone with a weak sense of possessiveness?

Regardless, he did consider this female imperial advisor as his woman.

After the two cultivations and intimate moments, he will keep his promise and let her decide whether to stay or leave.

However, if it were said that her body and the divine skill of the "Wedding Dress" were given to someone else, the Ancestral Emperor would absolutely not accept it!
Lin Qingci is indeed his current possession!
No one is allowed to touch it!
If that's the case, then we've truly lost both our wife and our army!
How could a dignified emperor tolerate such a thing!

The Imperial Preceptor's residence and the Prince Rui's residence were far apart, almost half a city away.

At this moment, the female imperial advisor was leaning against the window, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky.

She was still barefoot, and her dignified and elegant face held a hint of bewilderment.

For her, this period of time was like a brief escape from the shackles of divine will, with one foot already out of the cage.

But she didn't know what she should do or where to go to "take a short break".

What made her even more bewildered was that she repeatedly had the idea of ​​going to the monastery.

As for who they went there to find, it's easy to imagine.

Lin Qingci hasn't cultivated for a single day these past few days.

Her entire cultivation was meant to be a gift, but it's all for naught.

My past diligence was purely forced out by the Emperor's divine will.

She no longer meditates at night, but after falling asleep peacefully in bed, she always has some... embarrassing dreams.

She was basically unaware of or had no recollection of what happened in the Imperial Pool that day; she acted entirely on her physical instincts and the "Wedding Dress" script.

Therefore, she only has extremely vague memories.

But it is precisely this ambiguity that makes people unable to help but overthink!
That's human nature; in this situation, people tend to overthink things.

As the saying goes, you have something to think about every day and something to dream about at night.

Lin Qingci could force herself to dispel these wild thoughts during the day, but when she fell asleep at night, the scenes in her dreams were always "embellished".

Like in my dream last night, we were already in a state of ecstasy.

[Late at night, mandarin ducks intertwine their necks, and the brocade quilt ripples

The situation after the rain stops and the clouds disperse is difficult to manage.

She was well aware of the strange sensations in her body after waking up from the dream.

Sometimes Lin Qingci would wonder if the effects of the medicine hadn't worn off yet and there were still residues in her body.
Am I really that kind of woman?

It can only be said that once the desire for revenge took root, and the thought of giving it to Chu Huaixu arose, many thoughts began to spiral out of control.

In the hearts of the people of Yue Kingdom, the female national teacher is much like a statue in a temple.

She was so dignified and noble.

But at this moment, the statue seemed to have been tainted by human desires.

Lin Qingci leaned against the bed and sighed softly.

What exactly happened on the prayer mat that day?

"Where exactly have things progressed between me and Chu Huaixu?"

Moreover, she could imagine how pathetic, how proactive, and how passionate she would be that day.
All of this will be observed by a man who is essentially a stranger.

Thinking about these things evokes a variety of strange emotions in me.

After a while, her calm face suddenly furrowed slightly.

Because that disgusting thing inside me, after so many days of slumber, has awakened once more.

This made her suddenly feel that the air around her had become a bit murky and not as fresh as before.

She had felt cool in the night breeze.

At this moment, I suddenly feel irritable.

The invisible cage that had trapped her was erected once again.

Despite their noble status, they are nothing more than a caged bird.

As expected, the first thing the Emperor's divine consciousness within her uttered upon awakening disgusted her.

"Lin Qingci, is my virginity still intact?"

—Did you give it to him?
