TRAPS 1-3
1350 - Traps_1
Ye Qingtang turned back immediately as the animals approached. However, she noticed that there were halos floating behind her, and they were about to disappear.
“Is this the exit?”
The exit was about to disappear.
Ye Qingtang carried the little white tiger and dashed towards the exit instantly.
She did not care whether she could level up immediately. She might not even live for a day here based on her current strength.
The scene in front of her was covered by layers of glints. Ye Qingtang felt the world spinning, and she was back into the constellations on the next second.
The surroundings with intense spirit energy disappeared along with the Heavenly Venerate creatures.
“You came out fast.” The radiant object asked as it saw Ye Qingtang running back from the nine-star constellation.
Ye Qingtang took a deep breath secretly, and her back was filled with cold sweat. She started to curse the radiant object in her heart.
Suitable for her?!
The place was extraordinary to level up. However, based on Ye Qingtang’s current ability, she could not even survive inside.
Everything inside was at the Heavenly Venerate stage. Even an insect could be at least at the Arcane Supremacy stage.
Ye Qingtang was only at the First Heaven of the Arcane Supremacy. She might not even know how she was killed inside.
“You were saying that the nine-star constellation was suitable for me?” Ye Qingtang stared at the radiant object, and she could not equate the God of Nature to kindness anymore.
This was just the nine-star constellation. If she entered the ten-star one just now…
Ye Qingtang guessed that she could never return then.
“Isn’t it suitable for you? See, you already have a breakthrough after a few breaths. I did not lie to you.” The radiant object did not sense anything wrong.
“…” Ye Qingtang twitched her lips slightly.
Yes, she thought.
She leveled up in a few breaths of time. If she stayed for a few more seconds, she could be crushed by the Heavenly Venerate creatures.
“Yah, it’s suitable… It was full of Heavenly Venerate creatures. Even a bird could kill me just by flapping its winds,” Ye Qingtang said.
“Oh?” The radiant object was silent for a while.
“I assume that the world inside the nine-star constellation has changed and is different from what I know. Though these constellations have a fixed star level, the illusory worlds inside are not fixed. They can transform into another world anytime. I did not expect that you would enter that world…”
The radiant object’s voice sounded very sincere.
It seemed like it totally did not notice that it almost killed Ye Qingtang.
How would she believe it again!
Ye Qingtang did not doubt the God of Nature’s consciousness. However, she was misled into such a trap, and she would not believe it anymore.
She did not know whether the worlds inside these constellations would change. She definitely did not believe that the God of Nature could not sense the world inside the constellation.
The whole mystic realm is formed by its soul. How could it now know about that?
What the hell!
Ye Qingtang was very glad that she did not enter the ten-star constellation out of greed. If not…
Haha…
Ye Qingtang realized that the consciousness of the God of Nature was quite evil. It told her that she could enter and leave the world inside the constellation freely. However, as she came back, the door was about to disappear.
______________________________________________________________________________________
1351 - Traps_2
She was too naive as she did not expect such traps from the God of the Nature.
“Since you’re not very comfortable with that, I suggest you can enter the eight-star constellation for cultivation. It is easier than the nine-star one.” The radiant object offered a ‘nice’ suggestion.
Ye Qingtang did not buy it anymore. She ignored the central constellations and looked towards the one-star constellation at the end.
She could level up exponentially inside high star-level worlds, but they were of high danger. She might get herself killed just due to her greed. She should just follow the order and cultivate step-by-step.
“I want to go to the one star constellation,” Ye Qingtang said.
She should be humbler before she understood everything here.
She did not want to die here before she could even level up.
The radiant object did not seem to be pleased by Ye Qingtang’s choice. It remained silent for a long while before it sighed.
“It is really a waste for you to enter the one-star constellation based on your potential. How about…”
“I want to enter the one-star constellation.” Ye Qingtang now understood the God of Nature’s way of thinking.
She would choose the one that it was not happy about.
“…” The radiant object did not seem to meet anyone so stubborn before.
“Alright, I will not say anything since it’s your own choice. But let me tell you something, the world inside the one star constellation is not that great,” it said after a long silence.
It was still trying to influence Ye Qingtang’s choice.
Ye Qingtang did not bother to reply. She carried the little white tiger and walked into the one-star constellation that floated in front of her.
Her view was covered by glints again. Ye Qingtang felt a sense of peace after the world spun in front of her.
She opened her eyes, but she was stunned by her surroundings.
She was in a poor little room. There was only a bed and a lame wooden table. The floor was filled with dirt. She raised her eyes and noticed that the door was locked. It seemed that there were a few young men chattering outside softly.
“This is… the world of the one-star constellation?” Ye Qingtang had a strange feeling. But she realized that the spirit energy here was more intense than the Central Mainland. It was incomparable with the one inside the nine-star constellation, but it was still, very intense.
“What kind of place is this? It’s covered by a rotten smell.” The little white tiger lied on Ye Qingtang’s arm and stared at the mess on the floor. There was a lot of food left on the floor, and all of it was rotten and gave out a pungent smell.
Ye Qingtang looked around for the exit of the constellation. The exit was at the corner of the room and dispersing slowly. She should have some time left before it totally disappeared.
As Ye Qingtang checked her surroundings, she could hear the discussion from the young men outside.
“If the Eldest Young Lady still doesn’t behave herself, I think Master is tired of her. I heard that the Master has ordered someone to clean the outer house. He will ask the Eldest Young Lady to move in soon.”
“It’s good for her to move over. She’s crazy every day, and we still have to send her food here. The room stinks. I don’t want to be near here at all.”
______________________________________________________________________________________
1352 - Traps_3
Ye Qingtang was confused as she heard the discussions from the people outside. She walked towards the door and peeped through it to take a look outside. She tried to figure out what those servant-looking people were talking about.
Ye Qingtang was more careful this time. She observed the aura on these few people secretly, trying to know their strength.
However, she was stunned as those servants had no spirit energy at all.
“That shouldn’t be the case… The spirit energy here is more intense than the Central Mainland. Unless they are born with no talent for cultivation, they should have some cultivation.” Ye Qingtang frowned slightly. A radiant ball appeared behind her as she was confused with the situation.
Ye Qingtang’s eyes were filled with surprise as she stared at the radiant ball.
What was going on?
How come the soul of the God of Nature also followed her here?
“I said, this world is boring.” The radiant object murmured unpleasantly. As it finished its words, the radiant object started to twist in front of Ye Qingtang.
It transformed into a three or four-year-old child after a few seconds and landed on the floor.
The child’s entire body was surrounded by halos. Though he appeared to be very innocent, his hair was totally white.
“Arh… This is really… too filthy. I really don’t even want to come to the world of the one-star constellation…” The little child scanned through everything in disgust. His expression darkened as he saw the rotten food he was stepping on. He immediately floated into midair.
“God of Nature?” Ye Qingtang stared at the corny child and asked carefully.
The God of Nature then raised his head and took a quick glance at Ye Qingtang. The disgust on his face was immediately replaced by profoundness.
“Lucky explorer, do not need to be surprised by what you see here. I am the God of Nature, and I can turn into anything I want.”
What a surprise!
Ye Qingtang stared at the profound child and could not help but want to give him a kick.
“Why are you here?” asked Ye Qingtang.
“Of course, I’m here to give you your mission,” the God of Nature said as if it was a matter of fact.
“…” Ye Qingtang was confused.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you earlier on. After you enter the world of any constellation, you need to finish the mission I give to you before you can leave the world. Of course, after you complete the mission, I will give you nebula points based on the difficulty of the mission. You can use the points to exchange for equivalent rewards in my Star Pavilion…” the God of Nature said.
Ye Qingtang was stunned by the amount of information.
“Wait…” Ye Qingtang stopped the God of Nature’s rattling.
“You said that I need to complete your mission in order to leave this world?” Ye Qingtang stared at the God of Nature and doubted what she just heard.
“Yes.” The God of Nature nodded.
“But… That’s not what you said earlier! You said that I can enter and leave any world of the constellation freely.” Ye Qingtang opened her eyes wide.
“Yes, I said that before.” The God of Nature did not find anything wrong. He lifted his hand and pointed towards the entrance of the constellation that had almost faded completely.
“Before the entrance disappears, you can enter and leave freely.”
After the God of Nature finished his words, the illusory entrance of the constellation totally disappeared.

SU QIAO 1-3
1353 - Su Qiao_1
“…” Ye Qingtang fell into the God of Nature’s trap again.
Can an ancient god fool people around?
Don’t they have their morals?
It was totally impossible to guard against their traps!!!
“Just accept it. Since it’s your first time here, I can show you something from the Star Pavilion.” The God of Nature waved his little hands, and a cluster of stars appeared in front of his eyes.
There were numerous spots in the stretch of stars. He touched one of the spots, and then it moved forward. A white jade fan was surrounded by the halo from the star.
“This is the illusory moon feather fan, a heaven-grade divine weapon.” The God of Nature touched the feather fan. He waved his hand again to send the fan away and then touched another star. The star enclosed a top-grade elixir.
“Soul Formation elixir. It can be used to cultivate immortal and Buddha bloodlines.”
Ye Qingtang stared at the two treasures in shock.
Heaven-grade divine weapon?
Soul Formation elixir?
She had never seen these things before.
“There are more. A long as you complete the mission, you can use your nebula points to exchange them. I’m always very generous to explorers.” The God of Nature smiled and said.
Ye Qingtang looked at the Star Pavilion that was dispersed by the God of Nature with perplexed feelings.
The God of Nature was an ancient god, and he definitely possessed many treasures. Nothing from those normal mystic realms could compare with these.
Though it still felt like a trap…
Those things really piqued Ye Qingtang’s great interest.
Furthermore…
She had entered the world, and there was no way that she could leave before completing the mission. The spirit energy here was not bad. Cultivating here for one day could be equal to three days in the Central Mainland.
“Alright… What’s the mission?” Ye Qingtang said with mixed feelings. She did not trust the God of Nature completely.
The God of Nature smiled, and a light flashed out from his finger into Ye Qingtang’s temple.
As the light diffused in, strange memories started to appear in Ye Qingtang’s brain.
Those memories belonged to the owner of this room.
The owner was called Su Qiao. Her father was a general, and her mother passed away after giving birth to her. Her father married another woman and had other children.
Su Qiao was not born by the current General’s wife, and she was always neglected here. She was intimidated and had no talent, so even her father did not adore her.
The only hope that Su Qiao had was the arranged marriage to the prime minister’s son. They planned to get married when Su Qiao turned sixteen. However, on the wedding day, Su Qiao’s fiance annulled the engagement and chose her sister Su Mo’er as his wife in front of everyone.
Su Qiao was too upset and went crazy. She was then locked inside the room and got crazier.
Besides Su Qiao’s identity, Ye Qingtang acquired some other information about the world here.
Though the spirit energy here was very intense, people here had no spirit root and did not know how to cultivate spirit energy. What they called martial art was just some basic skills to Ye Qingtang…
This is really… a huge waste!
She could not believe that they left such intense spirit energy untouched here.
______________________________________________________________________________________
1354 - Su Qiao_2
“Your first mission is to become the ruler of the General’s residence. Everyone should pay respect to you.” The God of Nature released the first mission after Ye Qingtang absorbed all the information.
“…” Ye Qingtang felt speechless as she stared at the God of Nature. Was he joking?
“So… I’m Su Qiao now?” Ye Qingtang’s lips twitched slightly.
The God of Nature nodded.
“After you enter a world in the constellation, you might replace a person here or become an outsider. Everything is decided by Nature.”
“…” Ye Qingtang looked at the God of Nature and did not say anything.
What Nature… Everything was based on his opinion…
Based on her understanding of the world, this should be a ‘kind’ place with intense spirit energy for her cultivation. The God of Nature must find it too easy for her here and therefore created some trouble for her.
Ye Qingtang felt more relieved as she would get nebula points after completing the mission, and the points could be exchanged for treasures.
“As long as everyone here pays respect to me and I’ll be the in-charge here?” Ye Qingtang raised a brow and took a glimpse at the God of Nature.
The God of Nature nodded.
A smile appeared by Ye Qingtang’s lips. She carried the little white tiger and walked towards the door. She raised her leg and kicked the door…
The locked door was kicked open with a loud bang. The few servants who were chatting outside were knocked down by the force as well.
“Su… Su Qiao?” The servants were shocked as they looked at Ye Qingtang, who walked out of the door.
In their eyes, Ye Qingtang was Su Qiao now.
“How dare you call my name?” Ye Qingtang smiled. She raised her hand suddenly and slapped the servant who spoke with an invisible force.
The servant did not realize what had happened and was slapped by someone on the face. His entire body was thrown out by the force.
The rest of the servants were shocked by what they just witnessed. They did not see anyone or anything near the guy, and he just flew out by himself?
“She’s crazy… The Eldest Young Lady is crazy again… Master!”
They stared at Ye Qingtang, whose eyes appeared to be different today, and their bodies were full of cold sweat. They ran away immediately and thought that their Eldest Young Lady went crazy again.
Ye Qingtang did not stop them and let those servants run away in panic. She glanced at the servant who fainted on the ground and did not feel any guilt.
All of them were loyal to the General’s wife. Su Qiao was not respected in the family, and these servants disrespected her after taking the order from the General’s wife.
Though Ye Qingtang was only here to complete her mission, she wanted to help the owner fight back.
The God of Nature drifted behind Ye Qingtang. He felt slightly interested as he witnessed how simple and violent Ye Qingtang’s actions were.
“Let’s go. We shall see what’s fun in this world.” Ye Qingtang carried the little white tiger again and walked towards the yard of the general’s residence.
General Qiao was in the front hall. A gorgeous and elegant lady sat beside him as he frowned.
“Dear husband… Su Qiao is getting crazier now. She threw away all the food we sent to her. Others will treat the entire general’s residence as a joke if we continue to allow such behaviors from her.” The lady frowned slightly and said. Her voice was mixed with hatred.
______________________________________________________________________________________
1355 - Su Qiao_3
The lady was the General’s wife and Su Qiao’s stepmother. She was trying to convince General Qiao to send Su Qiao away.
General Qiao frowned, and his expression darkened.
The general’s wife observed the concern that General Qiao had and took a glance at the girl standing behind her. The girl was called Su Lin’er. She was born by the general’s wife and was the third young lady in the General’s residence.
“Father, I think mother is right. My elder sister is getting crazier, and it has become a topic for discussion in the city. The young lady from the Hou family asked about that when I was out yesterday.” Su Lin’er was on the same line as her mother and wanted to chase Su Qiao out of the General’s residence.
“Su Qiao is my daughter. Though she is crazy now, if I chase her to another residence, others may bad-mouth behind my back. It’s not appropriate…” General Qiao shook his head. He did not care about Su Qiao’s life at all. He only bothered whether others would say something about him if he chased his daughter out as it might affect his future.
“We are just sending Su Qiao to another place for her to recover, not chasing her out. It’s suitable for her there as it’s quiet. I know you care for Su Qiao but think about Lin’er and Mo’er. Mo’er just entered the prime minister’s residence, and Lin’er is at the age for marriage soon. Su Qiao’s craziness might affect Mo’er and Lin’er’s future if we continue to keep her here. They are your daughters as well. You need to consider their reputation.” The General’s wife expressed her concerns.
She was not guilty at all as if she did not know what resulted in Su Qiao’s craziness. Her daughter Su Mo’er took away Su Qiao’s fiance and humiliated Su Qiao in front of everyone.
“This…” General Qiao frowned. He raised his head and saw Su Lin’er’s wronged expression and made his mind.
“Tomorrow, ask someone to take Su Qiao to the other residence then.”
Both the General’s wife and Su Lin’er were delighted. Su Qiao was crazy now. If she were sent to the remote residence, no one would know anything even if she died there.
“I shall prepare for that,” the General’s wife said slowly.
General Qiao nodded.
The moment the General’s wife stood up, a few servants looked flustered and rushed in.
“Master… Lady, the Eldest Young Lady is crazy again! You should go and take a look!”
“She’s crazy again?” General Qiao’s expression darkened. He felt slightly guilty deciding to send Su Qiao away, but now, it could no longer be avoided.
His reputation would be ruined if she continued to be crazy.
“Master, Su Qiao cannot be here anymore. I think she should be sent away as soon as possible. How about today?” The General’s wife said.
“Prepare the carriage to send our Eldest Young Lady to the other residence now.” General Qiao did not bother to say anything else.
However, a figure walked in slowly from the entrance of the front hall.
General Qiao and the rest looked towards the figure and realized that she was the crazy “Su Qiao”, and she walked into the front hall.
“Who allowed you to come here? If others see you, my reputation will be ruined. Get back right now!” General Qiao frowned and commended. He did not want anyone to see his crazy daughter.
“Someone restrain Su Qiao right now. She may hurt others when she gets crazy!” The General’s wife gave orders to the servants as she looked at Ye Qingtang in disgust.
A few strong servants immediately walked out and wanted to restrain Ye Qingtang with rope.
However, before they could get near her, an invisible wave of air came out from Ye Qingtang’s feet. Everyone was thrown out by the wave of air and landed heavily on the ground.
______________________________________________________________________________________
SO WEAK 1-3
1356 - So Weak_1
The world here was totally different from the one Ye Qingtang was in previously. Though it was full of spirit energy, people here did not know how to make use of it besides knowing how to perform some basic fighting moves. Ye Qingtang changed her identity, but her capability and strength remained the same. She was not sure how much difference there was between her and the people in this world. It was lucky that she could test it out in the General’s residence today.
However…
Ye Qingtang really felt that… they were as weak as the ants when she stared at the servants lying on the ground.
The cultivators in this world are all so weak?
They could not even compare with the most inferior Connate Level Five people in her world…
Everyone else in the hall froze as they saw the servants falling onto the ground.
They could not understand how these people fell onto the ground as no one seemed to have done anything. Of course, they would not know that it was the result of Ye Qingtang’s power.
“Get up, pieces of craps!” General Qiao shouted impatiently. He was always obsessed with martial arts and was very experienced in that. The reason why he disliked Su Qiao was that she had no talent to learn martial arts at all. His abilities must be one of the best in the world; if not, he could not be the general here.
However…
He could not figure out how these people fell and just thought they were trying to be lazy.
“All lazy bastards! Can’t you even restrain a mad girl?!” The General’s wife did not expect that the useless “Su Qiao” did this, and she shouted in rage.
However, those servants groaned on the floor and could not get up no matter how the General and his wife tried to command them.
General Qiao frowned when he saw the servants rolling on the ground. His eyes were filled with impatience. He walked forward directly and was going to restrain his crazy daughter in order to send her to another residence.
Ye Qingtang was slightly curious when General Qiao walked towards her. Based on the clues she knew about this world, General Qiao should be one of the most powerful people in this world. There should be no one who was more powerful than him here.
Ye Qingtang was waiting to see how much difference there was between her ability and the General’s.
General Qiao lifted his hand and was about to grab Ye Qingtang’s shoulder. Based on his ability, it should be as easy as lifting up a chicken to grab “Su Qiao”.
The moment General Qiao stretched his hand out, Ye Qingtang did not move but released one trace of her force within her body.
Boom!
A loud sound was heard in the hall. General Qiao, whose face was filled with unpleasantness, was thrown out by the force. His giant body landed heavily on the ground.
“…” Ye Qingtang stared at General Qiao with perplexed feelings. He was thrown out by that little amount of force from her.
Powerful figure of the world?
The most powerful General?
… How could he be so weak?!
As Ye Qingtang was amazed at how weak the “most powerful’ person in this world, it was chaos in the hall.
“Master! Master… What happened to you?” The General’s wife witnessed how General Qiao flew out and rushed forward nervously, trying to get him up.
General Qiao felt that he was just trodden by numerous horses. The pain was unbearable, and his head buzzed.
______________________________________________________________________________________
1357 - So Weak_2
General Qiao did not know what was going on. A huge force had suddenly sent him flying. The impact of the force was greater than anything he had encountered before.
Su Liner and the General’s wife immediately turned their attention to General Qiao and did not notice anything strange about Ye Qingtang.
“What’s going on?” A handsome man suddenly entered from another room. When he saw the chaos in the main hall, he could not help but show his curiosity. Then, his gaze fell on Ye Qingtang, who was standing nearby, and he immediately looked disdainful.
When the General’s wife saw the youth, she immediately said, “Kai’er, you’re here just in time. Su Qiao has gone crazy again.”
The youth’s name was Dongfang Kai, and he was the nephew of the General’s wife. Because the Dongfang Family lived near the General’s residence, they often dropped by.
Dong Fangkai frowned slightly, and his expression grew more contemptuous as he looked at Ye Qingtang. Ever since the General’s wife had married and moved to the General’s residence, the relationship between the Dongfang Family and General Qiao had grown even more intimate.
General Qiao was a military officer. Although his surname was Su, he was conferred the title of General Qiao, so his eldest daughter was named Su Qiao to thank His Majesty for his kindness.
The Dongfang Family, on the other hand, specialized in magic. They often refined health-giving elixirs for the Emperor, and the Emperor thought highly of them.
Dongfang Kai disliked this cousin, who was not a blood relative. Now, when he heard what the General’s wife said, he did not waste words but walked over to Ye Qingtang. He wanted to reach out and grab this helpless and crazy cousin to drag her away.
But the moment Dongfang Kai reached out his hand, Ye Qingtang raised her foot and kicked him such that he fell to the ground.
Dongfang Kai was fairly skilled. When the General’s wife had married and moved into the General’s residence, he had also trained with General Qiao from a young age and was skilled in martial arts. Among his peers, his skills were considered exceptional.
However, Su Qiao was a good-for-nothing who could not even practice martial arts. Naturally, Dongfang Kai was not on his guard.
This kick broke several of Dongfang Kai’s ribs. He fell heavily to the ground with a grunt, blood seeping from his mouth.
Ye Qingtang was speechless when she saw Dongfang Kai lying on the ground, vomiting blood.
She had not even used much force, but he was vomiting blood?
Surely it was obvious that he was asking for it?
“Kai’er?” The General’s wife was startled. She not had expected Ye Qingtang to fight back.
Even General Qiao was shocked by the events unfolding before his eyes, not to mention his wife.
What is going on?
How has Qiao’er suddenly learned to fight so viciously?
General Qiao had been obsessed with martial arts all his life and had some experience. Ye Qingtang’s casual kick had shocked General Qiao. Such force and speed could not be achieved without thirty to fifty years of cultivation.
But the General’s wife, who did not know much about martial arts, was not aware of this. Her face grew grim when she saw that this crazy Ye Qingtang had hit her nephew.
“Su Qiao, how dare you hit someone!” The General’s wife had also been disdainful of Su Qiao. Now, she walked over to Ye Qingtang furiously and raised her hand to slap Ye Qingtang in the face.
But…
Before the General’s wife could slap Ye Qingtang, the latter had given her a resounding smack instead.
The General’s wife instantly spun like a top. The force of the blow caused her to spin several rounds before she stumbled and fell onto the ground.
______________________________________________________________________________________
1358 - So Weak_3
An imprint of five fingers flamed on her cheeks, looking startlingly red. Her lips had cracked from the blow.
“You…” The General’s wife stared incredulously at Ye Qingtang, who had dared to hit her.
Dongfang Kai, who was nearby, saw that something was amiss. He ignored the pain from his injuries and hurriedly fled the General’s residence.
“How dare you hit me? Who do you think you are? I’m your mother!” The General’s wife had never been so offended, and her expression was extremely ugly.
“You? You’re not fit.” Ye Qingtang swept a cold glance at the General’s wife. She knew from Su Qiao’s memories that the General’s wife had never treated Su Qiao as her own daughter but continually abused her. Even the servants had better treatment.
Su Qiao’s abilities were mediocre, but not so poor that she could not learn a few punches and kicks by training with General Qiao. However, when Su Qiao was young, the General’s wife had seized the opportunity to spike her food with a slow-acting poison. Hence, Su Qiao’s body was not able to withstand any kind of martial arts training.
In the incident in which Su Mo’er had snatched Su Qiao’s fiance, it was also the General’s wife who had come between the original couple. Now, they had driven Su Qiao crazy, but the General’s wife still would not let her off. Instead, she wanted to send Su Qiao to another residence and kill her…
Ye Qingtang had no qualms about beating people like that.
Furthermore…
She had not used any force at all. She had just casually waved her hand. How was she to know that the General’s wife was so fragile she would be sent spinning?
“You! Master… look at this fine daughter of yours! She treats me like that!” The General’s wife held her face, looking aggrieved. But because of the slap, she did not dare to advance again, only complaining to General Qiao.
She was perplexed.
Hadn’t she destroyed Su Qiao’s body long ago?
How was it that the force of this slap had caused her skull to vibrate with pain?
General Qiao had not yet recovered his wits. His attention was fixed on Ye Qingtang’s kick.
Even General Qiao could not attain the force and speed of this kick.
“What’s going on?!”
When the General’s wife saw that the General was stunned, she was deeply unhappy. But before she could speak again, a dozen figures appeared at the doorway to the General’s residence. One of them was Dongfang Kai, who had sneaked away just now.
He was accompanied by many of the elites from the Dongfang Family.
Even the Master of the Dongfang Family, the brother of the General’s wife, Dongfang Qing, had hurried over.
The Dongfang house was not far from the General’s residence. Although Dongfang Kai was injured, he had managed to hurry back quickly.
The General’s wife had long wanted to get rid of Su Qiao, whom she viewed as a nuisance. Now that Su Qiao dared to hit someone, Dongfang Kai naturally would not pass up this chance. He had gone home to summon the others and was prepared to pressurize General Qiao into getting rid of his crazy daughter.
“Brother Dongfang.” General Qiao had not expected the Dongfang Family to arrive. But he was in no position to be bothered about anything else, so he spoke civilly.
Dongfang Qing nodded slightly. His rather sinister eyes swept over Ye Qingtang, who was standing in the middle of the main hall. Then, he looked at General Qiao and said, “General, or perhaps I should address you as brother-in-law? My younger sister has been married to you for many years and has treated everyone in your residence well. She has doted on your daughter, Su Qiao. Now, Su Qiao is not only crazy, but she has dared to hit her mother, who is her elder. You must give me an explanation today.”
______________________________________________________________________________________
YOU ARE DELIBERATELY PROVOKING ME 1-3
1359 - You Are Deliberately Provoking Me_1
General Qiao froze for a moment, but before he could reply, his wife threw herself at Dongfang Qing as if she suffered some terrible grievance.
“Elder Brother, if I had listened to you and gotten rid of that crazy girl earlier, this would not have happened. See.. she actually dared to treat me like this… There is no place for Lin’er and me in the General’s residence.” The General’s wife pushed the fiery red finger imprints on her face in front of Dongfang Qing, as if afraid he could not see them.
Dongfang Qing’s expression grew grim as he looked coldly at General Qiao.
“If Brother Su cannot bear to take a lunatic like this in hand, then I better take over.”
General Qiao’s expression stiffened. Although Dongfang Qing did not have an official position in court, his skills in refining elixirs were greatly valued by the Emperor. Even General Qiao had to be civil to him.
However…
General Qiao looked at Ye Qingtang again, and his expression became conflicted.
However, before General Qiao could speak, Dongfang Qing rushed at Ye Qingtang with the group from the Dongfang Family that had come with him.
In his eyes, Su Qiao was only a helpless girl and a lunatic. They could capture her easily. And since Su Qiao would certainly struggle in the process, if they pretended to accidentally kill her while capturing her, it would be too late for General Qiao to protect her even if he wished to do so.
“Wait a minute!” General Qiao suddenly spoke. He seemed about to stop them, but his wife collapsed in his arms, pretending to be frail. She clung to him such that he was unable to free himself.
Ye Qingtang looked expressionlessly at the group from the Dongfang Family who had surrounded her. Her gaze suddenly passed over the God of Nature, who was following behind her.
At that moment, the God of Nature looked delighted. However, Ye Qingtang realized that others could not see the God of Nature.
“As long as everyone in the General’s residence submits to me, my mission is complete?” Ye Qingtang suddenly spoke to the God of Nature.
“That’s right.” The God of Nature was prepared to watch a good show.
Ye Qingtang’s lips suddenly curved in amusement as she looked at the group from the Dongfang Family with their evil intentions.
Be it General Qiao or Dongfang Kai, their abilities were so poor that Ye Qingtang was not even interested in exerting herself. But when she saw so many people rush at her, she thought she might as well test whether the people in these worlds were really so incredibly weak.
The group from the Dongfang Family had not heard the conversation between Ye Qingtang and the God of Nature. They simply followed Dongfang Qing’s instructions and rushed forward to capture her.
But when they had advanced and just rolled up their sleeves to catch and kill this lunatic, a cold light suddenly flashed across Ye Qingtang’s eyes.
A blast of air suddenly rose from Ye Qingtang’s feet, and her figure vanished instantly.
Before Dongfang Qing could see Ye Qingtang, he suddenly felt a huge force attacking him from behind.
He was instantly sent flying!
No one present knew what was going on. They only saw a flash of light that looked like lightning, rushing around them. The light passed in an instant, leaving chaos in its wake.
The men from the Dongfang Family did not know what was going on. They were sent flying in all directions by this invisible force.

1360 - You Are Deliberately Provoking Me_2
For a moment…
Pandemonium reigned in the courtyard of the General’s residence.
General Qiao, who had been about to stop them, stood rooted to the spot in disbelief. His expression was one of incredulity.
Uh…
What’s going on?
The General’s wife, who was all prepared to watch a good show, was also shocked. She looked on as her elder brother and the others from her family flew here and there in the courtyard as if possessed. They looked as if they had seen a ghost.
General Qiao was one of the most skilled people in the entire kingdom. Even so, he did not even have the ability to clearly see Ye Qingtang’s movements.
Within the span of a few breaths, the entire courtyard of the General’s residence was in disarray. Dongfang Qing was one of the first to be hit. He lay motionless on the ground. He had stopped breathing.
Only Ye Qingtang stood casually amidst the group. Her expression was rather strange.
She had thought that General Qiao was pretty weak but had not expected that…
These people from the Dongfang Family were even weaker than General Qiao?
Was there even one person in this world who could fight?
Ye Qingtang was speechless. She did not know that this group of people who had collapsed on the ground were considered elite fighters in this world.
Dongfang Qing, in particular, was almost on par with General Qiao. Outside of the capital, he could become a chief anywhere else.
But this “chief” was now lying motionless on the ground. He was not even breathing.
“Elder Brother… Elder Brother…” When the General’s wife saw the chaos, she could not maintain her act any longer. She wept as she ran to Dongfang Qing’s side. She turned ashen as she looked at Dongfang Qing, who was bleeding copiously from the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Dongfang Qing had died just like that?
“You… You lunatic, you killed my Elder Brother?!” The General’s wife glared at Ye Qingtang. Her expression was a mixture of fear and hate.
Ye Qingtang stared blankly at her. “…”
Dead?
Surely he can not be that weak?
She had just moved her hands and legs a little and had not even used any force. And he had died?!
Why the hell is he so weak…
They really were not deliberately provoking her?
For some reason, Ye Qingtang had a strange feeling that the disparity in ability between her and the people of this world was even greater than that between her and the Heavenly Venerate level animals in the nine-star constellation.
She had just moved her fingers slightly, and they had all died.
General Qiao was completely shocked. He thought that his daughter was a good-for-nothing who could not learn martial arts. Then, she had turned into a lunatic and was probably ruined for life.
Unexpectedly…
Ye Qingtang’s casual act today had smashed General Qiao’s world view.
How terrifying was her power?
Even his Master probably could not defeat dozens of people from the Dongfang Family in such a short span of time…
Apart from Dongfang Qing, a dozen men from the Dongfang Family had come along. Now, seven or eight of them were dead, and the survivors were all injured. Up to now, they could not figure out what kind of sinister power Ye Qingtang had used to strike them all down.
When the rest saw that their family Master was dead, a chill crept down their spines. They were so frightened that they shivered.
Because Dongfang Kai was injured, he had not advanced. He thought that his father and the General’s wife could take care of this lunatic, but who knew…
In the end, all he had was Dongfang Qing’s body that was slowly turning cold.

1361 - You Are Deliberately Provoking Me_3
“Su… Su Qiao… You… You dared to kill my father…” Dongfang Kai shook as he stared at Ye Qingtang.
Even if one beat him to death, he would never have believed that Ye Qingtang could kill his father so easily.
One should know that…
In Dongfang Kai’s heart, his father was one of the best in the entire kingdom in terms of skill. In the capital, no one could defeat his father besides General Qiao and a few of His Majesty’s guards.
“He was too weak,” Ye Qingtang said casually, but truthfully.
She had not intended to kill anyone.
However…
These people’s abilities were so poor that she could not bear looking at them. How was she to know that she could kill someone just by raising her hand?
Ye Qingtang had recently attained the Arcane Supremacy First Heaven. In the vast expanse of the Central Mainland, her abilities were simply the foundation of any other cultivator’s abilities.
But in this world where there was no such thing as cultivation, it was an entirely different story.
It was like…
A person in armor standing in an ants’ nest. He could cause widespread destruction by just moving his hands.
Although Ye Qingtang was speaking the truth, the words sounded incredibly shameful and mocking to Dongfang Kai!
Although Dongfang Kai’s heart was filled with hatred, he was not stupid. He did not dare to contest Ye Qingtang. He could only slink away.
Ye Qingtang did not intend to stop him. She was still familiarizing herself with everything in this world, including martial skills that were so weak they were almost negligible. Also… she wanted to complete the mission that the God of Nature had given her as soon as possible and obtain nebula points.
Although the people here were indescribably weak, the area was rich in spirit energy. Ye Qingtang only needed to complete her mission, and then she could cultivate here while also obtaining nebula points to exchange for a treasure in the Star Pavilion.
One must know that of the two items she had seen, her abilities would be greatly enhanced by either one.
The General’s wife was in shock. She embraced Dongfang Qing’s body and wept. Su Lin’er was terrified. She looked dazed when she saw the ground full of blood.
General Qiao’s expression was very complicated. When he looked at Ye Qingtang, he looked both surprised and delighted.
He had thought that his daughter was completely ruined, but who knew… she actually possessed such terrifying power. How could a martial arts enthusiast like him not be excited?
“Qiao’er, you go back. I will take care of everything here.” General Qiao stepped forward. His expression was strange, but he continued to maintain his protective attitude towards Ye Qingtang.
“His Majesty greatly values Dongfang Qing. Now that you have killed him, the Dongfang family won’t let you off so easily.”
Although General Qiao was delighted in the sudden growth of his daughter’s abilities, he was also worried about Dongfang Qing’s death.
In recent years, the Emperor had become more and more persistent in his quest to achieve immortality. Dongfang Qing specialized in refining elixirs, and the Emperor had appointed him to refine elixirs for immortality. Now, Dongfang Qing was dead just like that. This matter would not be resolved so easily.
Ye Qingtang had not intended to kill anyone. She had only wanted to seize the opportunity to complete her mission. But she did not panic. Instead, she used the time to return to her room to try cultivating in this world.
The abundant spirit energy greatly sped up her cultivation. Ye Qingtang had previously obtained Black Heaven Water from the Hell of Avicinaraka but had not found a suitable opportunity to use it. Now, she took it out.
Spirit roots were not of much use to someone in the Arcane Supremacy realm. Ye Qingtang gulped down the water and clearly felt the spirit root in her body grow warm. As the warmth spread, the speed at which she could absorb spirit energy also doubled.

MISSION COMPLETED 1-3
1362 - Mission Completed_1
Within half a day, Ye Qingtang leveled up by another heaven. Now, she was at the Second Heaven of the Arcane Supremacy.
Though the speed of cultivation here was no way near that in the nine-star constellation, at least it was safe here.
After all…
Ye Qingtang might not even have time to run away in the world of the nine-star constellation. She did not even imagine trying to cultivate there peacefully.
As Ye Qingtang leveled up, a red light dispersed from her body, filled the whole house, and dashed into the sky.
As General Qiao was worried about how he should handle Dongfang Qing’s death, he suddenly noticed that all the servants had gathered outside Ye Qingtang’s room and kowtowed towards the house in fear and respect.
General Qiao was confused, but when he saw the red light surrounding the room, he was totally shocked.
Red light from the sky?
He only heard about such a phenomenon from legends.
According to the legends, that would only occur when an immortal came to the earth!
An immortal came to the earth…
General Qiao suddenly recalled how his daughter suddenly gained great power and abilities, and he felt dazed.
Was it possible…
That an immortal assisted his daughter?
The red light was getting brighter, and the citizens who were around the General’s residence also noticed it. They were all amazed and thought that an immortal appeared. Within a short period of time, many citizens brought tributes and kneeled outside the General’s residence.
Ye Qingtang did not know anything that happened outside as she restored her aura from leveling up.
In Ye Qingtang’s original world, everyone was used to phenomenons that occurred from spirit energy when someone leveled up. People might just pay attention to that, but no one would treat it as the appearance of an immortal.
If Ye Qingtang knew how people in this world came out with such a ridiculous belief from her leveling up, she might just vomit blood.
The red light disappeared after a while. People outside kowtowed for a while more and dispersed in respect.
The appearance of an immortal was spread among the city.
General Qiao was curious and excited at the same time. However, before he could ask Ye Qingtang about that, some trouble came.
The Emperor was enraged by Dongfang Qing’s death, as General Qiao had expected.
The Dongfang Family just reported how Ye Qingtang killed Dongfang Qing to the Emperor. Even the General’s wife’s eldest daughter Su Mo’er, who forcefully took Su Qiao’s fiance, also joined her father-in-law to report the case to the court.
The Emperor waited for an immortal elixir from Dongfang Qing all the time so that he could be immortal. However, the only person who could refine the elixirs for him was now dead…
The Emperor asked his people to bring the culprit Ye Qingtang to the palace immediately out of rage.
General Qiao was shocked when he knew about that, but he really wanted to protect Ye Qingtang.
“Qiao’er, I’ll bring you to apologize to the Emperor. Trust me, you will be safe even if I have to abandon my position.” After witnessing Ye Qingtang’s power and the red light phenomenon, General Qiao was determined that he must protect his extraordinary daughter.
Ye Qingtang’s expression was odd after hearing General Qiao’s swear.
After Ye Qingtang leveled up, the God of Nature told her that she had completed her mission.
______________________________________________________________________________________
1363 - Mission Completed_2
Ye Qingtang was quite delighted that she could use the nebula points to exchange for treasures.
However, the God of Nature gave her an unexpected number.
One point…
Ye Qingtang was slightly stunned when she saw the number of points, but she thought that it only required a few points to exchange for rewards in the Star Pavilion. That might be the reason why the reward was so little.
However, when she saw the price of one hundred thousand under the Soul Formation Elixir…
Ye Qingtang really wanted to kill the God of Nature if she could fight him.
The God of Nature even shamelessly announced the second mission.
The second mission was to acquire respect from everyone in this country.
Ye Qingtang wanted to kill herself when she heard the mission.
How come the missions came one after another?
Ye Qingtang used her power to suppress everyone in order to take over the control in the General’s residence.
However, to let everyone in the country pay respect to her…
The God of Nature must be fooling her around.
“Qiao’er, don’t worry. I will be here with you the whole time.” General Qiao thought that Ye Qingtang was scared as he did not get any response from her.
Ye Qingtang cleared her mind and thought about General Qiao’s words. Before he started another round of persuasion, Ye Qingtang nodded.
Since she had to stay in this world for a while, she wanted to figure out how powerful the people here were…
The powerful figures beside the Emperor should be better than General Qiao at least.
Ye Qingtang wanted to give it a try.
Furthermore…
The second mission given by the God of Nature was also related to the country.
If the world here did not contain enough spirit energy for Ye Qingtang to cultivate, she would definitely say farewell to him based on the pathetic number of points.
General Qiao did not know what Ye Qingtang was thinking about. He led Ye Qingtang to apologize to the Emperor. Ye Qingtang left the little white tiger inside the room and did not bother with the God of Nature, who followed her behind.
No one could see him anyway.
The country where Ye Qingtang was located at in this world was called the Yuan Kingdom. It was supposedly the most powerful kingdom.
There was a legend in the Yuan Kingdom saying that the first emperor of the kingdom had witnessed an immortal beside an abyss. He then built the kingdom and believed strongly that he must receive luck from the immortal in order for him to rule the country.
Everyone in the country worshiped immortals based on that legend. Every emperor also longed for immortal elixirs in order to live beyond a hundred years old and become immortal.
There was another legend saying that one of the Emperors ate a half-completed elixir and lived one hundred and eleven years. He was the most long-lived man in the world.
The current Emperor felt an urgent need to get the immortal elixir based on his ancestor’s experience.
When General Qiao brought Ye Qingtang to the royal palace, Ye Qingtang saw the obese Emperor, who was in luxurious clothes, sitting in a tiny throne in rage.
A few higher-ups, as well as Su Mo’er and her husband, were waiting in the palace for quite a while.
They were very hostile when they saw Ye Qingtang walking into the palace.
“Your Majesty, I have brought my disloyal daughter Su Qiao here.” General Qiao took a step forward and paid respects to the Emperor.
Ye Qingtang stood straight in the palace and did not intend to pay respect to the obese Emperor at all.
The Emperor’s face was filled with a murderous expression, and he did not care about General Qiao’s bow at all.

1364 - Mission Completed_3
The Emperor said coldly, “General Qiao, you have a good daughter here. How dare you to kill Taoist Master Dongfang! Your family is really not afraid of anything!”
People who were good at refining elixirs were called Taoist Masters in this world. Dongfang Qing was the best Master in refinement in the Yuan Kingdom.
“Your Majesty, Qiao’er is still young. She was crazy for a period of time due to some events. That’s why she made such a huge mistake.” General Qiao was very determined to protect her daughter and pleaded for mercy.
However, the Emperor would not let go of Ye Qingtang so easily.
“General Qiao, I should not take it on your whole family since you have contributed greatly to the kingdom. However, Su Qiao will be dead here. You’re always loyal to me, so she will be just given a glass of poison.”
After the Emperor finished his words, a servant at the side held the glass of poison that was prepared long ago and walked forward.
General Qiao was shocked when he saw the poison. How could he not know about it after being the General for so many years? He was too familiar with its bitter smell.
That was a special poisonous wine in the royal family. It was so poisonous that anyone who consumed a drop of it would have his organs to rot and die. There was absolutely no cure to it.
Obviously, the Emperor did not want to keep Ye Qingtang alive. He did not show any mercy even when General Qiao kneeled and pleaded.
“Your Majesty… I’m willing to use my everything in exchange for Su Qiao’s life. Please, your majesty…”
“Shut up!” The Emperor shouted.
“You should be grateful for your contributions over the years. If not, your entire family will die along with Master Dongfang today! Master Dongfang had been looking for ways to refine immortal elixir for me all the time… Su Qiao did not only kill him, but she also killed my opportunity of being immortal!” The Emperor gritted his teeth and said.
He really wanted to kill the entire General’s family, but he had to acknowledge the contributions from General Qiao, and the prime minister’s family also pleaded for him.
General Qiao’s body was filled with cold sweat. He knew that the Emperor must be very angry, but… he did not expect that he would be so furious.
Su Mo’er was confused as she stared at her nervous father. Why, all of a sudden, would her father protect Su Qiao when he did not care about him all the time?
However…
Su Mo’er received an order from the General’s wife that Su Qiao must be dead here. This would be revenge for Dongfang Qing.
Su Mo’er took a step forward, held the glass, and walked towards Ye Qingtang.
“Elder sister, the mistake you made is unforgivable. You must take this in order to save the entire Su family.”
Ye Qingtang was not familiar with Su Mo’er, but she knew that this was Su Qiao’s sister who took her fiance away. She did not bother to reply to her; instead, she took a glimpse at the poisonous wine.
She could smell its bitterness before even tasting it.
Though she did not know what it was called, based on her medical knowledge, the poisonous wine… might be equivalent to those inferior narcotic drugs.
What kind of poison was this? It contained color and smell?
“Qiao’er, you can’t…” General Qiao was very nervous. He was about to stop Ye Qingtang, but she took over the glass of poisonous wine and drank everything.
People’s reaction in the palace was all different when they saw Ye Qingtang drink the incurable poisonous wine.
Everyone from the Dongfang family was content as they had taken their revenge. Su Mo’er smiled coldly.
