“Take me for example. If I’m in a bad mood, I might wander around the streets of my territory, but I won’t kill people indiscriminately… After all, even slaves are important assets to me. At most, I’ll whip all the men I don’t like and take the women I like back to the palace to play with for a few days before letting them go home.”

"Bullying men and women...you're no better, hmph!"

Yulia was clearly furious with Ji Xinyu's behavior, especially her attitude, and decided that she had to teach her a lesson no matter what.

The next second, just as Yulia seemed to still be lying motionless in Amelie's arms, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out in the air, and Ji Xinyu's expression changed.

Emerald's eyes widened in surprise, but she only blinked a few times and made no further move.

Snapped!

Ji Xinyu tried to dodge by turning to the side, but it was too late; Yulia's fist landed squarely on her stomach.

"Your idea is dangerous, I think it needs to be revised... Ha!"

Yulia, who was in Amelie's arms, vanished instantly and reappeared in front of Ji Xinyu, still in the punching stance, panting heavily, as if this punch had exhausted a lot of her energy.

Logically, this should have been a good opportunity for Ji Xinyu to counterattack, but after being hit by the Thought Correction Fist, how could Ji Xinyu possibly have the ability to retaliate in a short period of time?

"Oh ho!"

Unlike Amelie, who had fully adapted to this mental shock and could treat Yulia's fists as a source of amusement, Ji Xinyu's eyes widened, her tongue involuntarily lolled out, and she even uttered the classic defeated voice of an Eastern female cultivator.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Yulia smiled smugly, gritted her teeth, took a breath, and prepared to throw another punch.

But this time, Emerald didn't let Julia succeed. With a gentle pull, she drew Julia back into her arms and grasped Julia's fist.

"Alright, alright... My junior sister isn't very bright to begin with, and I still have a lot of plans that require her cooperation. Don't really make her stupid... By the way, what was that move you just made? When did you learn it? I didn't know about it."

Yulia's sudden punch truly surprised Emery.

This punch was an attack that broke through the time limit, somewhat similar to the giant blood squid's future dodge.

"Actually, this was my first time succeeding...hehe."

Julia gently rubbed her fist against Emerald's palm, and smiled smugly.

"After we defeated that giant blood squid last time, didn't you tell me about the squid's abilities? That gave me an idea."

"According to what you're saying, Emery, in the future, there are many locations and values ​​that are impossible to measure because they cannot be observed. For example, before I throw a punch, my fist could be anywhere within my attack range in the future, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

Emery nodded slightly:

"That giant blood squid was able to completely evade my attacks by relying on this, leaving me helpless... Until you, my darling, intuitively observed the future a few seconds from now, causing its positional probability to collapse into a single point, my attack was able to hit it."

"That's where my inspiration came from!"

As Yulia spoke, she took her fist out of Emerald's palm and shook it:

"Actually, I realized this a long time ago. Although I am very strong and fast, the enemies I face are getting stronger and stronger. It is difficult to break through those strange and wonderful magical defenses or evasions by strength and speed alone. No matter how strong the attack is, it is useless if it can't hit."

"So I always wanted an attack that could hit 100% of the time, but I tried many methods and couldn't do it until I beat that giant blood squid."

"According to the theory you taught me, Emery, since I can use my intuition to change the potential location of an enemy from a range to a single point, perhaps I can also pre-determine the possibility of my punch being dodged, defended, or missed?"

"But this is very difficult. I have actually practiced it secretly many times these days, but I have never succeeded."

"Until just now, listening to this wicked woman's nonsense, I got angrier and angrier. In an instant, I forgot all the knowledge you taught me, Emily. I just wanted to punch her hard... and I actually succeeded."

"..."

Emery was utterly speechless. What could she possibly say?

This is cheat code! All abilities are purely subjective; as long as one has a strong will, one can master divine skills without even realizing it.

Predicting the outcome of one's attack by observing the future is a highly advanced technique within time-based abilities. Even Nayudanda, the former chief astrologer of the elves who was instantly killed by Emerald, didn't possess this skill.

"Hiss... What a terrifying attack!"

Ji Xinyu finally came to her senses, rubbing the spot where she had been punched. Her previously blank stare returned to its clear state.

After all, Ji Xinyu is quite strong. Machira took seven punches in a row before Yulia became her true friend. Now, Ji Xinyu only took one punch, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Your Allen Federation is truly full of hidden talents, Senior Sister... I have to admit I underestimated you before."

After fully regaining her senses, Ji Xinyu didn't immediately retaliate. Instead, she looked at Amelie and Julia with a complicated expression and sighed softly.

"Senior Sister, the power you used to stop us from fighting earlier must have been the Path of Death, right? After all, you are Master's wife's successor, so it's not surprising that you can use the power of the Path of Death, but she..."

Ji Xinyu's gaze lingered on Yulia's fist, her tone still one of disbelief, making no attempt to hide it:

"I always thought she was just a pure and powerful body cultivator. So it turns out she actually walks the most mysterious and difficult-to-master Great Dao of Time?"

...No, she has absolutely nothing to do with the Great Dao or anything like that, she just opened it!

While inwardly complaining, Emerald showed no sign of it, simply continuing to hold Julia's waist, half-showing off and half-lecturing:

"Now you know how tough it is, right? This is my wife. You should call her sister-in-law. Remember to behave yourself a little more here in the future, or you'll get beaten up again."

"Yes, senior sister, I was wrong."

Ji Xinyu acted very obediently and readily admitted her mistake.

Of course, Amelie could tell that Ji Xinyu was faking it, but she didn't care. Instead, she comforted Yulia a few more times and told Yulia to go back to the city first, leaving Ji Xinyu to be entertained by her.

"Hmph, you womanizer, drink some cold water! Awooo!"

Julia certainly knew what the so-called "invitation" meant, but she had already mentally prepared herself for this when she took the initiative to challenge Emery to a duel.

So Julia didn't say much, she just angrily bit Amelite, then lifted off Amelite's arms and flew away.

But at that moment, out of the corner of her eye, Emery suddenly noticed a shadow fly out of Ji Xinyu's body and appear next to Yulia in an instant. Yulia's keen intuition, which could even perceive the time dimension, was completely unaware of it.

brush!

Stab it!

As the sword flashed, Yulia's body was unharmed, but her clothes were torn to shreds in the flash, and even her white stockings and undergarments were not spared, falling like snowflakes.

"You! You filthy scoundrel, you deserve a beating!"

Yulia was immediately enraged, but she couldn't launch a counterattack because her clothes were already torn. The bigger the movement, the more exposure she would get. She could only quickly wrap herself in her magical cloak while glaring fiercely at Ji Xinyu.

Ji Xinyu didn't pursue, but instead nonchalantly winked at Yulia and said with a flippant laugh:

"In our Tianyun Empire, there's a saying: 'Nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing's more fun than your sister-in-law...' I don't have a brother, so I never really understood the meaning of this saying, but now I'm starting to get it. Teasing your sister-in-law is indeed quite fun."

"you……!"

Julia was even angrier. As she took out a new dress from her storage space and put it on, she complained to Emerald again:

"Look at your dear junior sister! Aren't you going to do anything about her?"

"Don't worry, she'll be well-behaved soon, I promise."

While comforting Julia, Amelie's eyes were fixed on Ji Xinyu, or more precisely, on what was behind Ji Xinyu, her gaze filled with curiosity and interest.

Because right behind Ji Xinyu stood another Ji Xinyu, completely invisible to Yulia. She was dressed in a black dress with a cold and aloof demeanor, and her three-foot-long sword gleamed with a chilling light. She was the very culprit who had just ripped Yulia's clothes off with a single sword strike.

The longsword in the hands of the black-dressed Princess Xinyu felt especially familiar to Amelie, even experiencing a kind of soul resonance, as if it were actually her sword.

Chapter 337 Your Senior Sister is Still Your Senior Sister

Junior sister... has become a Stand user?

Amelie glanced at the black-dressed Ji Xinyu a few times and chuckled to herself as she thought to herself.

Judging from Yulia's reaction, she couldn't see the black-dressed Princess Xinyu.

If even someone as overpowered as Yulia can't see it, then it's even less likely that anyone else can.

In Amelite's current understanding, the only existence with such strong invisibility characteristics is the same as her invisible ribbon, namely the innate soul body mentioned by the red-clothed woman. It is also the most suitable innate divine ability for cultivating the red-clothed woman's techniques. In the entire world, there have been fewer than 5 people with this divine ability in more than a thousand years, and currently there are only Amelite and the red-clothed woman.

Only those who possess an innate soul body can see the innate soul bodies of others.

Ji Xinyu originally did not have a natural soul body, but after obtaining part of Amelite's talent through the red-clothed woman's secret method, she now has a clone that is similar to a natural soul body, which Amelite finds very interesting.

At the same time, it also confirmed Amelie's previous guess—Ji Xinyu should have mastered the red-clothed technique "Netherworld Soul Technique" and embarked on her own path. The cold and aloof Ji Xinyu in the black dress was the result.

While her mind raced with a thousand thoughts, Amelie didn't stop talking. Under Ji Xinyu's amused gaze, she bombarded Yulia with all sorts of sweet words until she finally coaxed her to obediently leave and return to the city.

"Is she the wife you chose, senior sister? She is indeed a very charming woman. I'm starting to like her."

After watching Yulia leave, Ji Xinyu licked her lips and deliberately looked at Amelie with a provocative smile:

"If I manage to seduce her, you'll be really angry, right, Senior Sister?"

"Ha... Give up, you can't do it."

Contrary to Ji Xinyu's expectations, Emery did not show any anger or impatience. Instead, she remained calm and composed, her heterochromatic eyes radiating powerful confidence.

"how?"

Ji Xinyu immediately objected:

"Senior sister, do you look down on my charm, or on my methods?"

"……Do not."

Amelie glanced at Ji Xinyu's main body, who was domineering and fiery in a red dress, then at Ji Xinyu's clone, who was aloof and arrogant in a black dress, and licked her lips, giving a charming smile:

“Junior sister, you are a wonderful woman, and your methods are also very impressive... If you are determined to seduce someone, probably no one in this world can resist the temptation. This has nothing to do with fidelity, but rather that every human being has a limit to their ability to resist temptation, and it is impossible not to make mistakes.”

"Hmm~~"

Ji Xinyu was clearly pleased by Amelie's compliments, and slightly puffed out her chest, making her figure appear even more alluring in her red palace dress, and her aura even more fiery:

"Then why are you so confident, senior sister?"

"Because I am also very confident in my own abilities."

Emerald's smile grew even brighter, and her eyes shone even more brightly:

“I will keep a close eye on you, Junior Sister… As long as you are still in the Federation, you will never have the energy to philander again.”

"Oh? Is that so?"

The aura emanating from Ji Xinyu in the red dress grew increasingly imposing, while Ji Xinyu in the black dress appeared almost instantly behind Amelie, flanking her from both sides.

Two opposing auras erupted simultaneously from the two Ji Xinyus, the heat and the cold instantly forming a formation resembling a yin-yang symbol, trapping Amelie in the very center.

"Senior sister, you don't still think... you can continue to be the senior sister, do you?"

The red-skirted Ji Xinyu raised her fire-tasseled spear once more, while the black-skirted Ji Xinyu's longsword flashed with a cold light. Their voices, though identical, spoke simultaneously in completely opposite tones:

"The year is up! Who will be the senior sister this year is still uncertain!" x2

Really?

Despite being trapped by the wondrous array, Emerald remained unconcerned. She casually stepped out as if taking an afternoon stroll, a flash of golden light emanating from her, and she appeared directly outside the array constructed by Ji Xinyu using two opposing forces.

"I think you're destined to be a junior sister for life, of course I know you're not happy about it, so come with me... let's go play somewhere further away, don't scare the residents of my garden."

!

Ji Xinyu in the red dress visibly narrowed her pupils, and even Ji Xinyu in the black dress, whose face was usually expressionless, revealed a hint of shock.

She certainly didn't think that a simple yin-yang formation could truly trap Amelie, but Amelie's ease in breaking through the blockade was still completely unexpected.

After carefully recalling the moment when Emery had suddenly appeared in the fray, Ji Xinyu's face showed a hint of astonishment again, and she murmured:

"It's the Path of Miracles? But wasn't Senior Sister walking the Path of Death? How is she advancing on both paths simultaneously? Could it be... that she's relying on my innate divine abilities? But how could that be? I can't even do that myself... Damn it!"

Ji Xinyu was even more unwilling and resentful, but deep down, she seemed to have already seen that there was only one outcome for her in this battle—to be in front of her senior sister.

She was actually convinced, but Ji Xinyu was, after all, a proud royal princess who had been a favored daughter of heaven since childhood. She would never admit defeat so easily; she would lose face.

So even though she knew she had little chance of winning this battle, Ji Xinyu still followed Amelie southward into the Emerald Strait, deliberately displaying a high level of fighting spirit.

"Come on, junior sister."

Once they reached a distance where there was no longer any need to worry about the impact on the city, Emerald stopped and, with a playful smile, flashed her finger at Ji Xinyu:

"Let me take a good look at how you've developed over the past year."

The reason they chose to spar on the Emerald Strait is not only because it is far from Locke City and they don't have to worry about their city being affected, but also because this strait has long been under Xia Sha's control, and anyone who sneaks close will be discovered.

"Humph!"

Ji Xinyu, dressed in red, gave a delicate snort, and the spear in her hand transformed into a fire dragon once more. Then, she charged towards Ameliete as one with the spear.

Meanwhile, Ji Xinyu, dressed in black, darted to the side and disappeared on the spot, just like an assassin in a game using invisibility, presumably intending to launch a sneak attack.
