My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 17: Ming Xiu

Hearing the little woman answer refreshingly without acting pretentious, a little more acknowledgement and admiration for her rose in Ming Xius heart. A rare arc of delight rose on his lips.

Very well. This Highness agrees.

Lou Mu Yan looked at the devilish mans unconcerned appearance and sighed inwardlythis was power. What others took as priceless treasure, in the eyes of experts, it meant nothingjust like how she used to be.

However, she wasnt a person who liked to reminisce and be stuck in the past. She was even able to be reborn in a foreign world after dying, it didnt matter if she was trashone day she would stand at the summit of this world and step into the ranks of the peerless experts.

You know, you arent at a disadvantage in this deal. Lou Mu Yan smiled and blinked at the man, Im the only person who can refine this Spirit Cleansing Pill. Even though the Spiritual Herbs used arent rare, but the formula is one and only. The most important thing is that youll get twice the result for half the effort if you take my Spirit Cleansing Pill for your method of cultivation. Not to mention, you wont need to worry about residual poison.

Ming Xius fingers within his sleeves flinchedthis little woman was rather intelligent. Within such a short time, she could actually guess correctly that the reason he absorbed the Demonic Beast Crystal Core was due to his cultivation method.

What was the effect of the pill you refined last? He felt slightly expectant.

Although he was in a state of semi-meditation earlier when refining the Crystal Core, he was still aware of what occurred outside.

For a moment, Lou Mu Yan was stunned, but since she was discovered, there wasnt anything to hide, The pills called Marrow Cleansing Pill. It can change and improve ones constitution and cleanse the body.

Seeing a flicker of astuteness in the mans narrowed phoenix eyes, Lou Mu Yan shrugged and added: But its useless to a person of the Sword Monarch Stage.

Ming Xiu raised an eyebrowwas this little woman playing with him?

Then this Highness will wait until you can refine a Marrow Cleansing Pill thats Grade 3 and above that could improve the constitution of a Sword Monarch.

She sneered: Do you think that Grade 3 pills are like cabbages¹

This Highness believes youll be able to refine it very soon. Ming Xiu always felt that this little woman would give him many surprises.

Lou Mu Yans heart trembled, lowered her head, and chuckled softly, her voice as sweet and serene as a clear spring.  

After coming to this world, she had always been called trash and was looked down upon. She didnt expect that this stranger she met for the first time would say something like believing in her. But it was also because of his belief that gentle ripples rose in her heart.

Since you saved me, if I can refine pills that are Grade 3 or above, Ill give you priority in trade. A pure, genuine smile rose on Lou Mu Yans makeup-less beautiful little face.

Seeing the little womans genuine smile, Ming Xius star-like black eyes deepened, and a devilishly charming smile rose on his lips. Promise.

Promise. Lou Mu Yan nodded, then took out the porcelain bottle with Spirit Cleansing Pills from her interspatial ring and handed it to the man: This is the Spirit Cleansing Pill. Theres four remaining inside.

Ming Xiu took the white porcelain bottle that still had a touch of warmth from the little womans palm. He held it in his hands and played with it, then motioned with his eyes, Go and put away the body of the Demonic Beast then.

A delighted smile rose on Lou Mu Yans lipsone bottle of Spirit Cleansing Herbs in exchange for a Tier 6 Demonic Beasts body was a bargain. But she also knew that the man had deliberately let her, so she thanked him. Then she walked to the corpse of the Flame Unicorn Beast and used her interspatial ring to collect it.

Luckily she was born into a distinguished clan with a grandfather that was the Empires expert, so the storage space of the interspatial ring he gifted her wasnt that small. It could perfectly fit the body of the Demonic Beast inside it, otherwise it wouldve been troublesome.

Lou Mu Yan returned to the mans side after collecting the corpse of the Demonic Beast, then took off the ice-blue bangle and handed it over, smiling and said: Thank you very much!

You can keep it. Ming Xiu didnt reach out to take the bangle. He had an inexplicable desire to leave this token with Lou Mu Yan, so he did.

Lou Mu Yans eyes revealed a bit of surprise, but after hesitating, she raised her head with a smile and said: Then thanks again!

She felt that this ice bangle wasnt just an ordinary Spirit Tool, but since this devilish man didnt want it, she decided to accept it. After she refined the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future, then shed gift him one for free in return.

Are you leaving now? Lou Mu Yan calculated the timeshe was already trapped here for almost three days. She wondered what Ye Qing Han and the others were doing now.

Seeing a thin layer of sweat on Lou Mu Yans forehead and nose, Ming Xiu knew that this sort of environment wouldnt be easy for her, a Sword Master that didnt have any Elemental Energy to protect her. It was already amazing that she could last until now.

It was time for him to return as well, so he said thoughtfully: I am. Seeing that were acquaintances now, this Highness will see you off.

The exit had long been sealed, so if one didnt have any Elemental Energy, leaving this dark volcanic cave wasnt easy. Hell be a good person till the end. But he, who didnt have a lot of patience, sure made a lot of exceptions for Lou Mu Yan.

At the drop of his words, Ming Xiu stretched out an arm and held Lu Mu Yan in his arms. With a push of his feet, they disappeared from this underground cave together.  

All Lou Mu Yan saw was darkness before her, but not only after, she stood within a forest in the Blazing Mountain Range. The pressuring and suffocating heat vanished as wellshe was out.

The faint fragrance of medicinal herbs on Lou Mu Yan lingered around his nose. His dark eyes deepened even more.

After flying for a little more distance with Lou Mu Yan, Ming Xiu landed within a spacious area within the thin forest. Only then did he release Lou Mu Yan, Were now in the outer ring of the Blazing Mountain Range.

Lou Mu Yan pursed her dry lips, and with sincerity in her eyes, she smiled softly and said: Thanks! The favours I owe you will definitely be repaid in the future.

Ming Xiu. This is this Highnesss name. Remember it. Ming Xiu leaned his body towards Lou Mu Yan and whispered in her ear, specifically emphasising it.

Then he stuffed a round object into her hand. With a mature voice that carried a sexy magnetism, he said: This and the bangle is a set. Put it away safely. Lets meet again.

As soon as his voice fell, Lou Mu Yan could only capture a shadow flash by, and then there was no longer the figure of that red-clothed devilishly handsome man within this forest.

Lou Mu Yan opened the palm of her hand and discovered that there was a round, transparent, deep blue coloured bead in her hand. Waves of refreshing, icy air instantly spread throughout her body with a comfortable coolness. It completely barricaded her from the heat. With her experience, she could tell that the bead definitely wasnt ordinary.

She raised her wrist again and when she examined it, there was a small, empty slot on her slightly fluorescent, blue bangle. With a thought, she bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood on the blue transparent bead. The blue bead suddenly emitted a soft, white glow that enveloped her.

Then the blue bead turned into a stream of light and flew into the bangle on her wrist. The two combined into one, and when she looked again, there was no longer any trace of the dark blue bead while the bangles colour remained an ice blue.

Lou Mu Yans lips raised in an arc. The ice bangle had recognised her as its owner now, so there was also a sliver of connection between them. Sure enough, the dark blue bead was the key to the ice bracelet.

She caressed the bangle on her wrist as she gazed calmly in the direction of the mans disappearance and whispered: Ming Xiu
