Yaohua was enraged: "You're seeking death!"
She attacked Xunhuan, who, unhurriedly, took out a scroll from her spatial storage.
The scroll floated in the air, emitting white light that blocked Yaohua's attack.
Yaohua originally wanted to teach Xunhuan a lesson, but suddenly remembered that the system had been urging her to collect demonic qi and sow discord between them. She couldn't help but have a thought.
The fire phoenix appeared behind her, flapping its wings as it flew towards the scroll. Xunhuan nervously infused spiritual energy into the scroll.
The fire phoenix collided with the white light, producing energy fluctuations.
As the fire phoenix and the scroll were locked in a stalemate, Xunhuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She said smugly: "So what if you're a Nirvana Realm cultivator? The Divine Lord had long anticipated that you would kill me, so he gave me this White Jade Scroll to defend against your attacks."
After saying that, she increased the infusion of spiritual energy. The light emitted by the White Jade Scroll increased greatly. The fire phoenix let out a mournful cry as it quickly flew back to Yaohua's side.
This attack had used up most of Xunhuan's strength. The White Jade Scroll returned to its original size.
In contrast, Yaohua's face turned pale as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
When Xunhuan saw this, she laughed even more happily: "Bitch, aren't you very powerful? Every day, you rely on your looks and cultivation to capture the Divine Lord's heart. But now, you're defeated by me."
After saying that, she once again controlled the scroll as it attacked again.
Yaohua said hatefully: "You wait!"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
The system asked concernedly: "Host, are you alright?"
After Yaohua confirmed that she had left Xunhuan's sight, her body suddenly relaxed. As she walked, her steps were unsteady as she spat out another mouthful of blood: "I've been seriously injured. I must immediately rest and recuperate."
She came to Chongming's side. When Chongming saw her like this, he immediately stood up: "What happened to you?"
Yaohua weakly fell into his embrace as she said aggrievedly: "Xunhuan bullied me."
At this moment, Xunhuan also thought that she might complain to Chongming, so she rushed over: "I hope the Divine Lord can see clearly. I merely picked a few flowers, but Princess Yaohua said that they were her flowers. She even wanted to teach me a lesson."
"Those were originally my flowers." Yaohua tightened her grip on Chongming's clothes as she became even more aggrieved, "Master, you must believe me."
Xunhuan looked at her acting pitifully and wanted to roll her eyes, but endured it in order to maintain her good image in front of Chongming.
She blinked her eyes and tears immediately fell. With red eyes, she said: "Regardless, I hope the Divine Lord can believe me. I wholeheartedly want to become your disciple. How could I target Princess Yaohua? Moreover, with my cultivation, if I were to target her, wouldn't that be seeking death?"
Chongming looked at the little girl in his embrace: "With her cultivation, she indeed cannot injure you."
Yaohua said hatefully: "Master, don't think that she's truly weak just because she's pretending to be pitiful! She has the White Jade Scroll that the Divine Lord gave her. It was that scroll that injured me."
Xunhuan took out the White Jade Scroll as she sobbed: "I hope the Divine Lord can see clearly. I really only wanted to defend myself."
The two had their own opinions as they quarreled, making Chongming feel vexed.
He looked at Yaohua: "They're just a few flowers. Don't be so stingy."
Yaohua was stunned as her eyes also turned red.
Xunhuan was secretly delighted, but heard Chongming say: "As for you, don't come to the Flame Cavern Mountain in the future. I definitely won't take you as my disciple."
"Why?" Xunhuan was struck by a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Chongming said indifferently: "You and Yaohua dislike each other. If I were to take you in, there will be no peace. Please find another famous teacher."
After saying that, he waved his hand. Xunhuan was pushed to the foot of the mountain by an invisible force.
Immediately after, a circular transparent formation appeared on the Flame Cavern Mountain. Xunhuan unwillingly slapped the formation, but was unable to enter no matter what.
Yaohua hugged Chongming's waist as she said happily: "Master is so good to me."
"Of course I believe you." Chongming rubbed her head, "Alright, don't be angry."
She wanted to complain again, but met his concerned and doting gaze. As their eyes met, an ambiguous atmosphere arose. The distance between the two slowly closed as their breathing could be heard clearly.
Just as they were about to kiss, Chongming suddenly regained his senses. He coughed lightly as his earlobes turned red.
Yaohua shyly tightened her grip on the corner of her clothes as she said softly: "Chongming, I'm willing."
She actively moved closer and hooked his neck, but was firmly rejected by him: "No. You're so weak now. This is the time to rest and recuperate. Don't think about such random things."
"It's just a kiss. How can it delay my recuperation?" Yaohua said unyieldingly, "If I become moody because I didn't get to kiss you, that will truly delay my recuperation."
When Chongming heard her fallacy, he helplessly kissed her forehead.
Yaohua refused to accept.
His cold gaze had some ripples as he bent down to kiss her lips like a fleeting kiss.
Although it was short, it was memorable.
Yaohua blushed as she spoke some sweet words with him. Only then did she reluctantly leave his embrace as she let him go to handle official business.
Chongming's mind had been disturbed by her, so he inevitably exchanged glances with her. The speed at which he handled official business also slowed down.
When the system saw this scene, it said listlessly: "Host, give it your all! I just took out so much food for you. If you're unable to seduce Chongming so that I can absorb demonic qi, I'll have to fall into hibernation again."
Yaohua said helplessly: "I really have no strength! Now that I've been seriously injured, I'm unable to eliminate the Heavenly Demons. Chongming is also unwilling to be intimate with me. What can I do?"
The system continuously sighed: "I should have known that Xunhuan had that scroll. You shouldn't have fought with her. Now, it's good. You can't do anything."
Yaohua quickly agreed.
The system suspiciously asked: "But is the White Jade Scroll really that powerful? You didn't deliberately lose to Xunhuan so that Chongming could personally chase her away, right?"
Yaohua quickly said: "You misunderstood. I didn't think like that."
The system thought more and more that its guess was right: "Humph, other than falling in love with Chongming and competing with other women for his affection, can you think of something else?"
In fact, Yaohua was indeed deliberately injured so that the system couldn't collect demonic qi.
However, she naturally wouldn't tell the system this.
Therefore, she pretended to be aggrieved: "If you don't believe me, then forget it."
The system said speechlessly: "Now, it's not a question of whether I believe you or not. It's that you must think of a way to collect demonic qi."
Yaohua said sorrowfully: "I'm already injured, but you still only want me to collect demonic qi."
After saying that, she pretended to be so sad that she didn't want to talk. Regardless of what the system said, she didn't respond.
The system was also very helpless: "Then what do you want to do?"
"Now, I naturally have to rest and recuperate first." Yaohua said silently, "But since I've been injured, it will probably take ten days or half a month to recuperate."
