Chapter 39: The Queen's Trick! Oh my god, the love poison is on the way!
Divine Strategy Military Prefecture, West Courtyard. With small bridges and flowing water, the summer night breeze stirred up countless summer flowers, scattering them in the air—quiet and pleasant!
"Bad Woman!"
"Don't come over!"
"Don't touch Daddy!"
"Su Su will fight you to the death!"
"Wuwuwu!"
Ning Ye sat under the banyan tree in the small courtyard, looking with amusement at Su Su, who was sleeping with her head on his lap, her fists clenched, muttering in her dreams.
He thought, 'Sure enough, Jun Qianyue's oppressive feeling and fear are still too great for Su Su. The little girl can't even escape Jun Qianyue's shadow in her dreams. This is only after meeting her once. What will happen in the future?!'
Shaking his head, Ning Ye came back to his senses and began to try to clear his thoughts.
"Junlin Dynasty!"
"The night belongs to Miss Jun!"
"The day is under her control!"
"And she is the current Empress of Junlin—Yun Jin!"
"But in the original storyline of Against the Nine Heavens, Yun Jin died several years ago, killed by Mu Lingxi, the former Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect, one of the ten great demonic sects of Heaven Above Heaven, and was secretly replaced!"
"As for Emperor Jun Lin, the Martial Emperor, he has been in seclusion for several years, not attending to court affairs, and has been accompanied by the Crimson Blood Heavenly Dragon in the Junlin Forbidden Land, attempting to break through to the Sacred Realm and reach the Divine Concealment Realm. It is precisely because of this that he gave Mu Lingxi the opportunity for this scheme of 'stealing the heavens and replacing the sun'!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, poor Martial Emperor, he probably doesn't know that his Imperial Dynasty is about to fall apart!"
After clarifying the general situation of the Junlin Dynasty, Ning Ye then meaningfully cast his gaze towards the Junlin Imperial Palace and muttered to himself.
"If it's Mu Lingxi, the former Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect!"
"Then next, making a move against me... that would truly be the best choice!"
"Indeed, all of this is within Jun Qianyue's calculations!"
"But I'm very curious... how will you make a move against me?"
"The methods won't be too dirty, will they?!"
Speaking of this, Ning Ye couldn't help but rub his temples. He knew that the Yin Yang Sect and the Joyous Union Sect were not much different, and in fact... their methods were even dirtier.
So, he had to be extra vigilant in facing that former Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect, one of the ten great demonic sects of Heaven Above Heaven!
Divine Strategy Military Prefecture, Shenyue Palace.
Qianye looked at Jun Qianyue with a bewildered expression and asked:
"Young Miss!"
"Are you really going to cooperate with that Ning Ye guy?"
"Didn't you plan to use him as bait before?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Qianyue comfortably drank a cup of fine wine and casually replied:
"Plans change!"
"It's very normal!"
"Moreover, this is a win-win situation, so of course, it must be done!"
"Alright! The one in the Imperial Palace will make a move soon; you go and prepare!"
In her opinion, cooperating with Ning Ye not only held great strategic significance but also allowed her to unseal the seal of her Eye of the Heavenly Dao. Since that was the case, why wouldn't she do it?
"Yes!"
Qianye nodded, then turned and left.
After Qianye left, Jun Qianyue slowly put down her wine glass and murmured.
"Ning Ye... that guy!"
"He really has many secrets!"
"Could this guy also have a legacy or methods similar to This Young Lady's Eye of the Heavenly Dao?"
"Otherwise, how could this guy know so much about This Young Lady's various affairs in such detail?"
"Hehehe, what an interesting guy!"
It must be said that her meeting with Ning Ye at Divine Strategy Tower tonight had greatly shocked her.
She felt as if she had no secrets in front of Ning Ye; Ning Ye seemed to know everything about her!
But Ning Ye... was like a ball of mist, making her unable to see through him or guess his intentions!
This was the first time she had ever felt this way, and the first time she had developed such an intense curiosity about a man!
And now, she had a strong urge to uncover all the secrets about Ning Ye!
Capital, Imperial Palace, Taixuan Lake!
A beautiful woman dressed in a black Phoenix gown was feeding fish food into the vast, clear Taixuan Lake.
Behind her, several mysterious figures in black robes wearing Yin and Yang ghost masks knelt.
"My Lady!"
"Ning Ye has entered the Divine Strategy Military Prefecture!"
"However, the identity of the young woman beside him is still unknown."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman suddenly turned around. In the clear moonlight, the woman wore a Phoenix crown, her long black hair styled high.
Her appearance was very delicate and soft, but her narrow, beautiful eyes radiated an authority and coldness completely at odds with her gentle face!
And she was none other than the current Empress of Junlin, Yun Jin, or rather... Mu Lingxi, the former Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect!
"Go to the Evil Sect!"
"Find out the true identity of the young woman beside Ning Ye for This Master!"
"This Master has a premonition that the young woman's background is definitely not simple!"
Mu Lingxi squinted her narrow eyes, a chilling glint emerging within them.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the mysterious black-robed figures bowed in unison to Mu Lingxi with great understanding, then transformed into shadows and vanished under the moonlight.
After they left, a graceful figure silently arrived before Taixuan Lake.
She wore a luxurious gilded long dress, which clung slightly to her body, outlining curves so alluring they could drive any man wild!
And this woman, with such an enchanting figure, also possessed a perfect face that was cold, peerless, and as beautiful as a dream!
As she emerged from under the moon, she truly resembled the Nine Heavens Moon God descending to the mortal world, dazzling and so sacred that people dared not look directly at her!
And she was the Crown Princess of the Junlin Dynasty—Mu Li!
"Greetings, Master!"
Mu Li bowed slightly to Mu Lingxi.
"Li'er!"
"Have you heard of Prince Ning Ye of Yan Yun?"
Mu Lingxi asked with a smile.
"Of course, I have!"
Mu Li nodded.
"What do you think of him?"
Mu Lingxi continued to ask with interest.
Upon hearing this, Mu Li pondered for a moment and then replied:
"Reporting to Master... I heard that the Prince is a very astonishing person!"
"Currently, his Buddha's Fury Lotus has already spread throughout the entire Nine Heavens Continent!"
"Very good!"
Mu Lingxi nodded and then said:
"Since that's the case!"
"Next, you will take him!"
"It's about time!"
Hearing this, Mu Li's pretty face changed, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at Mu Lingxi, and her jade fists slowly clenched.
"Master... do you mean... you want your disciple to use the Yin Yang Love Poison on Ning Ye?"
"Mm!"
Mu Lingxi hummed softly, her eyes filled with anticipation and greed in the moonlight.
"Hmph!"
Mu Li took a deep breath and asked again.
"But Master... why him?"
"What do you think?"
Mu Lingxi didn't explain, only counter-questioned Mu Li.
"Alas!"
Mu Li fell silent for a moment, then spoke:
"Master... could it be that you intend to use Ning Ye to deal with the Jun Family?"
"Indeed!"
Mu Lingxi nodded, noncommittally.
"Master's plan seems to be more than just that..."
Mu Li seemed to have thought of something and spoke softly.
"Oh?"
"What else do you know?"
Mu Lingxi heard this, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of her lips as she looked at Mu Li with interest.
"After destroying the Jun Family..."
"Master plans to send Ning Ye to the Holy Mountain!"
"This way, our Yin Yang Sect will have a chess piece that can be inserted into the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower!"
"Moreover... this chess piece is highly capable of growth, and in the future, it might become one of the top figures in the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower!"
"In the future, perhaps our Yin Yang Sect can use his hand to ascend to the heavens in one step, giving our Yin Yang Sect a hundredfold or even a thousandfold return!"
Mu Li clearly articulated Mu Lingxi's thoughts and plans.
"Hahahaha!"
"Li'er, you truly are the disciple This Master taught!"
Mu Lingxi heard this and couldn't help but smile, extending her jade hand to gently caress Mu Li's beautiful, cold face, feeling very satisfied with her.
At this moment, in her opinion, she had already gained the upper hand in the Junlin Dynasty!
Destroying the Jun Family was not difficult, and overthrowing the Junlin Dynasty and plundering all its Imperial Dynasty resources was also within reach!
Therefore, she had already begun to look to the future. She wanted to use Ning Ye to scheme against the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower, thereby allowing the Yin Yang Sect to ascend to the heavens in one step!
This was the first plan that flashed in her mind after she learned that Ning Ye had become famous throughout the continent!
She absolutely could not let Prince Ning Ye of Yan Yun go!
"Master... is brilliant!"
Mu Li's face was somewhat pale as she bowed to Mu Lingxi.
She truly admired her Master's schemes, but her heart was filled with incomparable sorrow and discomfort.
The Yin Yang Love Poison, also known as Love Gu, was the Yin Yang Sect's supreme secret art.
A person must cultivate the Yin Yang Love Poison from a young age, and it can only be used once in a lifetime!
But once successfully cast, the person afflicted with the poison will regard the caster as their eternal love and be forever controlled by them!
What she cared about was that to plant the Yin Yang Love Poison in Ning Ye, she had to use her own body as the seed!
Although she had known this day would come since she began cultivating the Yin Yang Love Poison from a young age, when this day truly arrived, her heart still felt blocked with discomfort.
Because, no matter how hard she tried, in the end, she still had to sacrifice her body and future, becoming a chess piece. This feeling was truly unpleasant, and she also found it incredibly ironic!
"What, you're unwilling?"
Mu Lingxi saw Mu Li's subconscious resistance and sadness in her eyes, and her voice suddenly turned cold.
"No... no!"
Mu Li quickly lowered her head upon hearing this, hiding the emotions in her eyes. She knew her Master's temper and disposition; this matter was not up to her at all.
"Hmph! Good that you're not!"
Mu Lingxi snorted coldly, then her red lips parted slightly as she commanded:
"This Master remembers that three days from now is the Crown Prince's birthday banquet!"
"Li'er, use this opportunity to take Ning Ye!"
"Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
"Master!"
Mu Li bit her silver teeth, her beautiful eyes already filled with tears, but no matter how wronged she felt, at this moment she could only nod and agree to her Master's request. She didn't even dare to let her tears fall in front of her.
Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect?
Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace?
They looked high and mighty, but in the eyes of important figures, they were merely chess pieces!
Fate, after all, is fate!
She, after all, could not escape, could not avoid it!
Since that was the case, what could she do? Besides accepting, there seemed to be no other way!
