looked at the map. The last point of that route was a large valley.“There might not be. It’s unknown what happened several years ago, but holy beasts went missing back then. I think they might have g...Chapter 1465: The Curtain Opens

Liu QiLian initially thought she had caught Shen Xiang off guard, but now she realized she was mistaken. She mistook him for someone else, yet she hadn’t mistaken him; he was indeed Shen Xiang. Moreover, he had secretly attacked her back, and she didn’t even notice it.

“Stay here and don’t make any sudden movements. Make sure to teach that person a lesson in an open and fair manner, I have something to attend to.” Liu QiLian’s mind was heavy as she returned to the Flower Immortal Kingdom and headed for the flower mountain range.

Liu Grandma knew Liu QiLian was coming, but she didn’t come out. Although her daughter’s intentions were good, for her not to wander aimlessly, Liu Grandma was still a bit angry and stayed inside the house, avoiding her.

“Mother!” Liu QiLian gently called out from outside, fully aware that Liu Grandma intentionally didn’t see her. This had been the case for years.

“Shouldn’t you be at Demon-Sealing Immortal Palace right now Maybe you’ll soon find out about your father’s whereabouts.” Liu Grandma sighed softly, already knowing Liu QiLian’s arrangements.

“That brat didn’t attend the Chancellor Assessment, he didn’t do as I expected. Instead, he attacked his enemies, one of whom was Demon-Sealing Immortal Hall.” This was the first time Liu QiLian had such a feeling of defeat, she could only come to her mother for comfort.

Liu Grandma opened the door and walked out. Liu QiLian went over, sat on a stone bench despite being surrounded by toxins, and wasn’t afraid.

“Sigh…” Liu Grandma walked down slowly, letting out a long sigh.

“Have you ever thought about why he didn’t follow your expectations” Liu Grandma asked, obviously already knowing the reason. She had seen Liu QiLian’s methods with Sheng Xiang and knew he was unhappy.

Liu QiLian furrowed her brows as she thought, then shook her head. “I don’t know, I can’t understand. If you’ve told him about my matter, he should have gone to Demon-Sealing Immortal Hall. He’s in a hurry for the life and death technique.”

Liu Grandma fondly stroked Liu QiLian’s head, sighing as she said, “He isn’t a person who is willing to be controlled. You were wrong from the beginning.”

“Where did I go wrong” Liu QiLian still didn’t understand. In her eyes, everyone was the same, even her mother had lost to her. How could she understand someone like Shen Xiang

“Everything is wrong!” Liu Grandma’s voice became stern. “Your nature is like that, you’re too proud and look down on him despite his usefulness to you. Even though he’s someone very powerful.”

“I don’t see anything different in him. Greedy, lustful, always wanting more, and likes being clever, buying people’s loyalty, constantly making enemies and fighting. He’s currently building his enemies everywhere; he must need the life and death technique very much. I supposed he should have gone to attend the Chancellor Assessment,” Liu QiLian said.

Liu Grandma shook her head and sighed. “You’ve always had a bias against him from the beginning, have you ever thought about his advantages If he really was like how you imagine him, what kind of position would he have now”

“In my eyes, he’s nice and isn’t as bad as said. Perhaps you should be honest with him instead of trying to control him through cunning plans. He’s not someone you can control,” Liu Grandma replied.

Liu QiLian sniffed. “I’ve already told him my name, and asked him to find you. Now he knows the biggest secret I have, he’s spreading that my father is the Demon-Sealing Heaven Lord. Isn’t this enough of being honest”

“Just tell him directly! He wants to cooperate with you sincerely but you’re acting like a chess piece trying to control him. Do you think he doesn’t see through this He’s smarter than you, and his enemies are too many to just die off.” Liu Grandma shook her head.

“But he will eventually have to listen to me. Only I can help him obtain the life and death technique.” Liu QiLian said.

“Look, can’t you see him a bit higher You haven’t lost before but that doesn’t mean you won’t in the future. Now that this brat has escaped your control, he might counterattack soon. Haha.” Liu Grandma chuckled and wished him a victory over her. "I hope he wins you."

“That’s impossible, his needs are from me; he’ll eventually have to bow down to me,” Liu QiLian said.

“That doesn’t mean you won’t have needs from him, he has Demon-Sealing Holy Seal. He has the resources to play chess with you, and now he isn’t your pawn anymore but a rival. You don’t need to think about controlling him; instead, you need to figure out how to play chess against him or reconcile with him.” Liu Grandma concluded her advice. She stood up and walked back inside the house, stopping her words.

Liu QiLian felt frustrated. She never believed Shen Xiang had the capability to become her rival from being a pawn, and she was arrogant enough not to see him as an opponent. Although Shen Xiang had great potential, she was currently the Flower Empress with increasing strength.

She returned to Demon-Sealing Immortal Palace’s hotel, and after returning, she heard about the seed. She was furious, but now couldn’t find Shen Xiang. If he wanted to hide, no one from the nine heavens could have found him.

“Spread this matter, then find me and take back the seed. Then everyone will pay attention to me, a clever move,” Liu QiLian wanted to throw away the seed. However, she was principled and worried that things would escalate between her and Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang was quite surprised when news of the seed spread. The ancient star region announced that they hoped Flower Empress could exchange it promptly, as the seed was their treasure.

This way, what was once just rumors became reality!

Flower Empress possessed a magical seed, which could lead to prosperity with divine-grade medicinal herbs!

The ancient star region had long suspected that Flower Empress got the seed, and now they were even more certain after hearing this news.

Liu QiLian wanted to inform everyone that the seed belonged to Shen Xiang, but she felt no one would trust her. Anything could be attributed to him, which might seem like a weak excuse.

“Send word throughout the palace to find Shen Xiang quickly; I need to talk to him!” Liu QiLian closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and controlled her anger. She hadn’t been this angry for a long time.

“Empress, about that seed… ” Little Lychee didn’t know about this matter.

“It’s true. Everyone from the major forces will be very concerned, which might lead to our Flower Immortal Palace being targeted. But don’t worry; I can handle it. The immediate concern is finding Shen Xiang,” Liu QiLian never thought she’d be forced to admit defeat. She didn’t expect Shen Xiang’s strong resistance, which caused her more damage.

Shen Xiang was right below her, eating and drinking happily.

“This is just the beginning; good things are yet to come. Do you really think I’m a soft fruit, easy to manipulate You respected me and wanted to cooperate sincerely, but you play with me like this! I refuse your drink, but now you force me to take a sip!”

Shen Xiang was delighted and satisfied. The Chancellor assessment would start tomorrow, and because of the seed’s matter, many people might come to watch Flower Empress.地獄魔帝收買。”紅霞溫柔一笑，她雖然這麼說，可她之前都是憂心忡忡的，隻不過現在看見沈翔來到，讓她突然安心許多。姬靈兒嬌笑道：“你成長得那麼快，我還以為再次和你見麵的時候，你還需要我幫助你提升實力，現在看起來比我們都要厲害了！”沈翔跟著兩女進入洞府裡麵，這洞府很簡陋，不過卻很整潔，這兩個女子此時穿得也不是那麼光鮮亮麗，她們的日子過得很簡樸，在沈翔實力比紅霞和姬靈兒弱很多的時候，兩女就對他非常好，還讓...
