[You imp! Let go!!] The pain on its tail made the little black cat cry, it raised its claws, turned and scratched wildly at the soft and plump Little Lotus.
Little Lotus’s snow white skin was soon covered in countless bleeding scratches.
“WAAAHHHHH!!” In pain, Little Lotus finally released the tail from its mouth, curled up on the ground, whimpering in tears.
Jun Wu Xie got a headache, seeing what she was going to have to deal with. She walked over, and picked up both the angry little cat and Little White Lotus each in one hand.
[Idiot! You bit on my tail!] The little black cat pointed accusingly.
“Sniff…. Sniff….. I didn’t know. I was in the water and I saw this black thing waving and thought it was food…..” Little Lotus whimpered, pouting.
[What lies! You are a plant spirit, you do not need to eat!] The little rascal must be doing it in revenge for the times he was bullied by me!
“No….. No… It wasn’t like that!” Little Lotus, frightened by little black cat’s aggression, shrank back in fear.
Truthfully, he did not know why he bit little black cat’s tail. It was rather fuzzy, unable to recall how he swam to the edge of the pond and bit on little black cat. By the time he was aware, he was scratched all over by the little black cat.

Chapter 141: “Intoxicated Lotus (2)”
Jun Wu Xie watched calmly as the tiny duo continued squabbling. She lifted the little black cat onto the table, and turned to remove the lotus from the basin it was kept in and handed the basin to Little Lotus.
“Throw the wine in there away.” It was recorded in the ancient book that when cultivating an Imperial Blue Snow Lotus, do not reuse the Jade Nectar leftover in the basin. When the wine falls to a level that does not cover the roots, it must be changed as soon as possible. Hence, she had always poured the excess Jade Nectar into the lotus pond.
Little Lotus nodded and toddled to the pond hugging the basin tightly.
As he moved as fast as his tiny legs can carry him towards the pond, the pungent aroma from the basin filled his nostrils and his cheeks grew rosy. He turned around to peek, he saw Jun Wu Xie staring intently at the lotus, he involuntarily gulped down his saliva and wiped off the excess that was about to dribble down the side of his lips.
This was all unwanted…right?
Hence, it was alright to drink a little…?
Little Lotus shifted the basin closer to his mouth…..
[What are you doing!?] The little black cat suddenly screamed.
Little Lotus panicked upon hearing the scream and got rid of the Jade Nectar by pouring it all down his throat. He choked and coughed till he turned red, and turned to look at the little black cat in fear.
“No….. nothing….. ” Little Lotus stammered.
The little black cat jumped off the table in a flash and walked over to Little Lotus.
Little Lotus backed away from little black cat, his tiny feet bringing him to the edge of the pond.
“Do….. do not come closer…..”
“You drank the wine in secret.” The little black cat narrowed its eyes and looked at Little Lotus in the eye.
“I….. I did not….. ARGHHH!!”
Following Little Lotus’s scream, he fell into the lotus pond.
SPLASH!
Little Lotus fell in with a big splash.
The little black cat sat there stunned. It just wanted to scare the little guy, and he panicked and fell into the water?
“Stop the nonsense.” Jun Wu Xie looked helplessly at the noisy duo holding the lotus in her hand.
The little black cat shrugged, waiting for Little Lotus to surface.
After a while, it still did not see the chubby figure anywhere.
Will water plants….. drown? The little black cat wondered as he walked to the water’s edge, a hint of worry was felt.
Just as he reached the pond’s edge, a dark shadow grew in the water, rising fast to the surface.
A drizzle of water droplets trailed from the white figure that flew out of the water and scattered across the ground.
It was a handsome silver haired youth, his clothes of silver and white were coated with a thin layer of mist. As he descended towards the ground, the scattered water caught the sunlight and scintillated like scattered diamonds.
“MEOW!!” The little black cat had transformed into its black beast form and loped to stand between Jun Wu Xie and this stranger.
The silver haired youth descended gently, his bare feet stepping lightly on the wet stones, his wet hair swept to the back, a handsome face glowed.
“It was you, who was always bullying me? The silver haired youth asked, brows furrowed, his strikingly blue eyes staring at the black beast.
“How useless, bullied by a mangy cat….. Tsk!” The silver haired scowled, anger apparent in his eyes.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes at the youth who suddenly appeared in her courtyard.
“Who are you?”
The silver haired youth’s face was flushed red as he looked at Jun Wu Xie and asked: “You can’t even recognise your own contractual spirit?”
Volume 2
Chapter 142: “Intoxicated Lotus (3)”
“…………” Jun Wu Xie was stunned.
She had only one contractual spirit…..
The black beast stared in wide eyed wonder at the silver haired youth.
[Chub….. Chubby?] He was not certain.
The silver haired youth cringed .
“You are the chubby one! I look absolutely magnificent! Which part of me is even remotely chubby!?”
[…………….] The black beast was at a loss for words.
Who can tell him what is going on here!?
How? How did that soft and cuddly chubby transform into this suave youth!?
Did he mutate!?
“I am the Imperial Blue Snow Lotus, or you can call me Drunk Lotus. Do not associate me with that little lump of chubbiness.” The silver haired youth said with his arms crossed, in indignation.
He grew quite a bit in arrogance as well! The black beast looked at him in a different light.
“All right, let’s get down to business. You have often bullied me, did you enjoy it? Come! It’s time to settle some scores!” Drunk Lotus narrowed his eyes.
Just as Drunk Lotus and the black beast were about to move, Jun Wu Xie stood up.
“You are my keeper and in turn, my Mistress. I will not attack you, but this fellow here has bullied me for the last time! I will show him!” Drunk Lotus did not dare to show Jun Wu Xie any disrespect.
“Where is the basin for the lotus?” Jun Wu Xie asked calmly of Drunk Lotus.
“…..” Drunk Lotus hesitated.
“Give” Jun Wu Xie said simply.
“In the water…..” Drunk Lotus gulped, irrationally afraid of the cold tone Jun Wu Xie was using on him.
“Bring it here.” Jun Wu Xie glared. Drunk Lotus quivered, and in the next moment, he plunged into the pond, with a big splash.
Moments later, the handsome youth stood dripping wet, holding out the basin in front of Jun Wu Xie.
“You can transform?” Jun Wu Xie asked, looking at Drunk Lotus from head to toe.
Drunk Lotus replied: “I was one with the Imperial Blue Snow Lotus, but there was an accident during my cultivation, and I had been trapped within that little body ever since. If I am soaked in alcohol, I can revert temporarily.”
“It was you who bit the Little Black ?” Jun Wu Xie was puzzled, as Little Lotus would never get aggressive with the little black cat.
“Yes.” Getting scratched everyday, anyone would be mad!
“The amount you poured into the lotus pond everyday was too little for me to revert, but allowed me to take over the consciousness of Chub….. Tsk, I mean the little one.” Drunk Lotus gritted his teeth, staring angrily at the beast sitting by Jun Wu Xie.
The beast tried to hold it in but burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Drunk Lotus lost it. A sleek blur streaked onto the massive beast.
And…..
POOF! A mist enveloped the body.
The beast felt something soft, squishy, and dripping wet clinging upon its face…..
When the mist dispersed, a whimpering and terrified Little Lotus clung on its snout, big teary eyes looking right into its own in fright.
The next moment…..
“WAHHHHHH!!!” Little Lotus wailed as he clambered off the face of the beast and scampered with his tiny legs to hide behind Jun Wu Xie, and staring at the frightful black beast.
How did he end up on that beast!? It was so scary!
Volume 2
Chapter 143: “Insidious Woman (1)”
Within the Imperial Palace, Mo Xuan Fei looked on nervously at the fifty Yu Lin Army soldiers with Bai Yun Xian standing beside him. Behind them several palace maids held up trays of medicinal wine.
“Yun Xian, you asked to summon them here, what do we do next?” Mo Xuan Fei queried.
Bai Yun Xian looked at the fifty Yu Lin Army soldiers with a sinister gleam in her eyes.
“I have something good for them. This is medicinal wine from the Qing Yun Clan, it greatly speeds up the development of spiritual powers with your training. With the Rui Lin Army running rampant, we need to raise the power of the Yu Lin Army as well.
Mo Xuan Fei looked at Bai Yun Xian blankly, and hesitated a moment but kept his silence.
The fifty Yu Lin Army soldiers were joyous at the news. They were just ordinary soldiers and having been suddenly summoned by the Second Prince, they were rather antsy. Over the past few days, with the Rui Lin Army having the Imperial City locked down, the Yu Lin Army was powerless to retaliate, and they were forced to hole up within the Imperial Palace.
The Emperor had not made any moves either, that night’s clash with the mighty Rui Lin Army had the Yu Lin Army turn into mice. They did not dare engage the Rui Lin Army in any form of conflict.
The men were thinking that they would be thrown into an arduous mission, but what a surprise! They were presented with such a heavenly gift!
All things from Qing Yun Clan were treasures beyond compare!
“You men are the selected elite of the Yu Lin Army, and protecting the Emperor is your duty. This medicinal wine will help you become strong within a short period of time.” Bai Yun Xian waved her hand forward and the palace maids brought the wine to the soldiers.
The Yun Lin Army soldiers held the cups gingerly, looking at their cups longingly.
Sinister malice flashed just a moment in the eyes of Bai Yun Xian and quickly returned to normal.
“Drink up, brave soldiers, you shall gain the strength to protect the Emperor.” she coaxed tenderly.
The fifty soldiers downed the wine in a single gulp. The bitter medicinal wine burned in their bellies, and the soldiers started to feel hot, the effect showing on their bodies as they turned a shade redder. They could feel the spiritual powers within them churning, as though they were growing, and the soldiers rejoiced at their perceived heightened powers.
“The Jun Family has been antagonizing the Imperial Family, and you men shall become the heroes that saved the Imperial City! Tonight, you will be secretly deployed to several allocated stations spread throughout the Imperial City. Once you are there, stand down and hide your identities. Stay within the rooms provided and concentrate on your training till the day we launch our counterattack, the day you see glory!” Bai Yun Xian swept her eyes over the soldiers, as she incited the men into fervour.
They were bestowed with the rare medicinal wine from Qing Yun Clan, and entrusted with such an important mission for the Imperial Family. It seemed their moment has come! To soar to new heights!
No one among them doubted Bai Yun Xian but were extremely grateful for the favour shown to them.
“For now, go back and rest up, and disguise yourselves as common citizens. You are the hope of the Kingdom. Do not allow your identities to be exposed as the safety of the Imperial City lies in your hands.” Bai Yun Xian beamed at them, her pretty face seemingly to shine with pride for them. The Yu Lin Army soldiers were captivated and stared foolishly for a long while, till Mo Xuan Fei’s irritated look drove them scrambling out.
Volume 2
Chapter 144: “Insidious Woman (2)”
After the fifty ‘chosen ones’ left, Mo Xuan Fei dismissed all the palace maids, leaving just Bai Yun Xian and him alone in the courtyard.
With no other eyes on him, Mo Xuan Fei’s tensed expression took on a sliver of worry. “Yun Xian, what are you up to? The medicinal wine, wasn’t that to be used on the Rui Lin Army? Why…. why have you given them to the Yu Lin Army soldiers?”
Over the past few days, Bai Yun Xian had been refining something in utmost secrecy. Even Mo Xuan Fei was in the dark on what she was up to and only knew that it was to be used against the Rui Lin Army. She had not given him any details and she spent all day cooped up refining. She had finally stepped out and had prepared everything.
Why was it administered on the Yu Lin Army then!?
Bai Yun Xian gave a low laugh, her eyes had a glint of cold as her mouth curled up slightly. Like a venomous spider weaving its web, she looked at Mo Xuan Fei, “Rest assured, the wine will be used against the Rui Lin Army.”
“But…..”
“No buts! You think the Rui Lin Army soldiers are idiots? Give them poison and they will take it gratefully?” Bai Yun Xian sneered at Mo Xuan Fei, insinuating at his simplicity.
“You remember the effects of the pills I gave you? What I gave the Yu Lin Army today uses a different route but ends up with similar effects.” Bai Yun Xian explained, licking her rosy lips.
Mo Xuan Fei was shocked! The effects of the pill given to Lin Yue Yang was only too clear to him. But, summoning the Yu Lin Army soldiers here just for this purpose?
“Yun Xian, you intend to use them as sacrifices? Why didn’t you tell me? I could have provided you with ordinary palace maids and eunuchs. The Yu Lin Army is all we have now, isn’t using them as a sacrifice a bit excessive?”
Bai Yun Xian looked at Mo Xuan Fei with exasperation. “What do you know! The effects from the medicinal wine will be amplified with the spiritual powers of the soldiers! How much spiritual powers can palace maids and eunuchs command? It will not be enough to bring out the desired effects! Place them at various locations, remember to spread them out throughout the city, to ensure that at the moment of explosion, the poison would spread in the shortest time possible. That, is efficiency.”
The spiritual powers of palace maids and eunuchs are incomparable to soldiers of the Yu Lin Army. However incompetent, the soldiers should have at least achieved an orange level. The spiritual powers within them will upon implosion, spread the poison faster, stronger!
“What!? You want the poison to spread throughout the entire Imperial City?!” Mo Xuan Fei fell back a few steps, stunned in silence. He had not expected that Bai Yun Xian’s scheme would implicate everyone in the Imperial City!
Has she lost her mind? How many people lived in the Imperial City?
“I have to! The Rui Lin Army number over a hundred thousand and they are all over the city. To poison all of them, naturally I have to spread the poison to encompass the whole city. The medicinal wine I brewed acts as a catalyst to amplify the spiritual powers of the person when ingested. When the spiritual power is pushed to its limit, the person’s physical body will be unable to contain the exponentially surging spiritual powers and will explode. The poison will then disperse widely into the air. Anyone who smells it will immediately be poisoned, with the same effects, resulting in a series of explosions, spreading the poison further throughout the Imperial City. The Rui Lin Army, even with their numbers, cannot escape my poison.” Bai Yun Xian was maniacal, that ruthlessness overtook her pretty countenance, twisting it, where she looked just like a malicious demon, horrifying to look at.
Volume 2
Chapter 145: “Insidious Woman (3
)”
Mo Xuan Fei deployed the fifty Yu Lin Army soldiers to various locations in the Imperial City, spreaded out with none in close proximity under instructions from Bai Yun Xian.
Mo Xuan Fei had been uncertain of Bai Yun Xian’s intentions. But, with her explanation, he finally understood.
Bai Yun Xian wanted the poison to spread to the commoners. Once the people are infected with the poison, the chain of bodily explosions will spread quickly and thickly into the air, and will in turn infect the Rui Lin Army no matter where they are in the Imperial City!
Even the vicious Mo Xuan Fei was chilled at the insidious methods of Bai Yun Xian.
She had dragged the people of the entire Imperial City into their graves!
“Yun Xian, you…..” Mo Xuan Fei stepped back in horror, and colour drained from his face.
He had always perceived Bai Yun Xian to be a haughty girl to be spoilt by his excesses, and although she appears cold, she was not a complicated girl.
Seeing her today, he realised he did not even know the girl!
Hundreds of thousand people in the Imperial City, and she intends to kill them all without batting an eyelid!
Bai Yun Xian looked at Mo Xuan Fei coldly and accused : “If it was not for your incompetence, would you have asked me to step in? Are you developing a conscience and worrying for those wretched commoners now?”
It dawned on Mo Xuan Fei.
She was right. I persuaded her to help, didn’t I?
But he had never expected, Bai Yun Xian to be so terrifying.
If Jun Wu Xie was deemed vicious, at least all the people she killed had schemed against the Lin Palace and she did not point her blade at anyone innocent. As for Yun Xian? In order to achieve her goals, she disregards everything at all costs, even when the lives of innocents numbering in the hundreds of thousand were at stake, and were to be sacrificed.
