The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 14: Broken, this is also

Chu Ling knelt in front of Lu Ye’s door, waiting for his forgiveness.

She knew that the young master despised being disturbed by others, so she wouldn’t bother him.

She knew that the young master was soft-hearted, and sooner or later, he would forgive her. She only needed to wait for him.

When the young master entered seclusion, she would guard outside the door.

When the young master left seclusion, she would follow him closely behind.

Wherever the young master went, she would go.

On the back mountain of Bai Lan Sect, Linghu Wushuang wandered in a daze, coming to Yue Hongling’s side.

Yue Hongling glanced at him, unbothered. This little brat was fighting with her senior brother? Wasn’t that just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?

He didn’t know the senior brother’s identity, which was fine. At most, he was a frog at the bottom of a well, looking up at the moon.

If he knew the senior brother’s identity and then looked at him, he’d be like a mayfly gazing at the vast sky.

"I lost."

Yue Hongling didn’t speak, letting him break the silence.

"How rare, being able to spar with my senior brother. In the future, you’ll be able to boast about it for many years," Yue Hongling said.

Linghu Wushuang sighed deeply.

"Indeed, very powerful, but still far from enough. But once I get stronger, I’ll challenge him again. He’s not as brutal and merciless as you say; instead, he treated me quite well," Linghu Wushuang said.

"Hmph, do you understand him better than I do? He’s kind to men, but cold and ruthless to women," Yue Hongling rolled her eyes and said.

"That’s true. After I sparred with him, I should’ve left, but before I could go far, I saw a very beautiful young girl kneeling in front of Lu Ye’s door."

"Even though Lu Ye didn’t come out immediately to help her up, he’s indeed harsh to girls. That girl didn’t even know why she was kneeling there," Linghu Wushuang remarked.

Yue Hongling’s eyes shifted when she heard this.

"What did she look like?"

Linghu Wushuang pondered for a moment.

"Very beautiful!"

"Of course, do I not know she’s beautiful? Every woman in front of that stinky senior brother is beautiful!"

"Anyway, she was wearing a green long dress, holding a sword in her hand, with big, bright eyes, looking very obedient..."

Yue Hongling relaxed slowly after hearing this description.

Chu Ling!

She had thought it might be some other seductive woman coming to find her senior brother.

Wait!

Yue Hongling suddenly froze.

Why did I think that way? What business is it of mine if some seductive woman is looking for that stinky senior brother?

Could it be that I... am jealous?

Yue Hongling quickly shook her head, repeatedly muttering, "I’m not jealous, I absolutely won’t be jealous, I won’t be jealous..."

Linghu Wushuang?

!!!???

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Oh no, is she also Lu Ye’s woman?

His worldview was once again greatly shaken at that moment.

This shock was so profound that he could hardly accept it.

Does that mean, the more cruel and cold you are to a beauty, the more she likes you?

Is courting a Dao partner not about being considerate and accompanying them, but about... beating them?!

"Alright, I’m going to cultivate now. You can leave, and don’t bother me unless it’s important."

Yue Hongling issued an eviction order.

Linghu Wushuang was still thinking about the whole beating thing when he heard Yue Hongling’s words, immediately contemplating putting it into practice.

"Junior Sister, I can help you with your cultivation! We can spar and train together to better understand our own shortcomings. I should be a bit stronger than you, so how about we practice a bit?"

Yue Hongling glanced at Linghu Wushuang, her expression...

"Don’t you believe I’m stronger than you?" Linghu Wushuang suddenly became enraged.

A few minutes later...

Linghu Wushuang was thrown hard to the ground, with the rocks beneath him shattered. His face was bruised, and his body trembled as if struck by a sieve. His eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.

Holy hell!

What kind of monsters are on Bai Lan Peak?

He couldn’t beat a single one of them, not even a single one! Hahaha...

After sending Linghu Wushuang away, Yue Hongling cultivated for a while, making a small breakthrough to the second layer of Core Formation.

"Wait, wasn’t Chu Ling supposed to have gone home? Why is she back again, still kneeling in front of that stinky ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ senior brother’s door?" Yue Hongling muttered to herself in confusion.

"No, I need to go back and check!"

This was Yue Hongling’s nature—when something puzzled her, the uncertainty was more painful than death itself.

As for confinement?

What confinement?

She was as close to her master as sisters; the idea of confinement felt too distant.

Yue Hongling rushed to her senior brother’s courtyard, and sure enough, she immediately saw Chu Ling kneeling on the bluestone ground, silently cultivating her martial arts.

"Chu Ling, why are you back?" Yue Hongling asked.

Chu Ling looked up at Yue Hongling and softly called, "Hongling Sister."

"Stop kneeling. Get up. We, female cultivators, have dignity. Why should we kneel for him?" Yue Hongling stepped forward, intending to pull Chu Ling up, completely forgetting that in her past life, she too had knelt many times for such things.

"Hongling Sister, I’ve done something wrong. This is the punishment I deserve. Please don’t worry about me." Chu Ling resisted Yue Hongling’s pull.

"What did you do wrong? I’ll tell you, that stinky Lu Ye is really stingy. The perfect Return to Origin Pill he gave me in my past life, he hasn’t even given it this time. A person as petty as him, kneeling here until the end of time won’t change anything." Yue Hongling deliberately raised her voice.

Bai Qiulan’s figure appeared, staring at Yue Hongling with a displeased look.

At this moment, Chu Ling began to explain.

"I was wrong. I didn’t realize how good he was to me. I even complained about him, and I hurt him. Not only did I plant the Yin-Yang Devouring Dao Gu in his body, but I also poisoned him with the Heavenly Stasis Poison. My sins are deep, and all the punishment I’m receiving now, I deserve it."

"Heavenly Stasis Poison..."

Bai Qiulan froze when she heard the name.

This was a type of toxin that could affect even a Heavenly Sovereign. Such toxins were extremely rare in the world.

Moreover, the eight of them had each been searching for a type of toxin, and naturally, they had studied these things thoroughly.

The Heavenly Stasis Poison was not unfamiliar to them.

"Ah, this matter is in the past. Besides, the Heavenly Stasis Poison didn’t work because it exploded when it tried to take effect. So, technically speaking, you didn’t really harm him. You don’t need to feel guilty," Yue Hongling tried to comfort her.

But Chu Ling shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

"No, no... The Heavenly Stasis Poison is a toxin beyond the rules. Even though it didn’t act at that time, it can’t be cleared away. It will forever follow the person who was poisoned, with no cure!"

Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan’s faces both stiffened as they heard this.

They exchanged a glance, both seeing an indescribable panic in each other’s eyes.

"If time rewinds, if we’re all reborn... the Heavenly Stasis Poison wouldn’t follow, would it?" Yue Hongling murmured, lost in thought.

If the poison followed... then what she had done...

Yue Hongling shuddered suddenly, not daring to think further, not daring to think!

Many toxins, even those that could affect a Heavenly Sovereign, Lu Ye could withstand, but they would only weaken his power.

But if it were below the Heavenly Sovereign realm, those toxins would be much more troublesome.

At that moment, Bai Qiulan quietly said, "Perfect Return to Origin Pill!"

"The Heavenly Stasis Poison... seems to have followed Lu Ye, coming back with him..."
