LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 368
“What do you plan to do?” Lin Beifan asked.
“There are only two ways now!”
Yaoyao raised a finger, “The first way is to kill her! That way, she’ll never surpass me.”
Lin Beifan was shocked, “Isn’t that a bit extreme? Even though you’re enemies, it doesn’t have to come to life and death!”
Yaoyao immediately poked Lin Beifan, “I knew it, you womanizer. You can’t bear to part with her, so we’ll have to go with the second method!”
“What method?” Lin Beifan asked again.
“If she wants to reach the Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions, we just need to give her a reason to hold onto her emotions, then naturally, she won’t be able to practice it! If she can’t practice it, she can’t surpass me.”
“Good idea!” Lin Beifan slapped his thigh.
“So, my suggestion is…”
Yaoyao leaned in and whispered, “You go and strive to win her over in bed! If you can satisfy her completely, she won’t be able to practice The Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions!”Lin Beifan was taken aback, “Yaoyao, how can you have such thoughts? I’m not such a casual person! How can you sacrifice my happiness for your personal vendetta?”
“Yes, you’re not a casual person most of the time, but when you do become casual, you’re out of control! I know what kind of person you are better than you do! Maybe when I suggested this, you were secretly pleased inside, right?” Yaoyao poked Lin Beifan accusingly.
“Yaoyao, you misunderstand me!”
Lin Beifan tightly held Yaoyao’s hand, “Among the myriad waters, I only take one scoop! I am already content with you by my side!”
(TLN : Among the myriad waters, I only take one scoop! = having numerous options available yet choosing only one.)
Yaoyao was moved, “Thank you, Your Majesty! But what about Consort Chu?”
Lin Beifan: “…”
“What about Consort Yue?”
Lin Beifan: “…”
“And what about Consort Xiang?”
Lin Beifan: “…”
“Have you said the same things to them as well?”
Lin Beifan: “……….”
Under Yaoyao’s teasing gaze, Lin Beifan sighed in agony, “Actually, I didn’t want this either, but who made me the ruler of a nation? The royal family must have heirs. The state must have a succession!”
“So, under the earnest pleas of the officials and the common people, I had to go against my conscience and take you all as my consorts! This is a duty I cannot escape! Yaoyao, why can’t you understand my predicament?”
Yaoyao: “…”
Damn, understand my ass!
At this moment, Lin Beifan earnestly said, “Yaoyao, for the sake of the country and for the sake of all the common people, I might have to marry a few more in the future. Please bear with me!”
Yaoyao: “…..”
“Since you already have so many women, one more doesn’t matter!”
Suppressing the urge to beat up Lin Beifan, Yaoyao excitedly said, “Just bring her into the palace, and according to the order of arrival, I can be her elder sister, forever above her! Moreover, the Taoist Sect will lose an outstanding Taoist Child! In future competitions, this will weaken the Taoist Sect by one step compared to my Demon Sect, haha!”
Lin Beifan was somewhat troubled: “Yaoyao, this isn’t quite right…”
“It’s decided! You have no right to object!” Yaoyao declared firmly.
Lin Beifan: “…”
Next, Yaoyao fell into deep thought, pondering how to execute her strategy.
Should she let the two of them slowly develop feelings and let things take their natural course?
Probably not. That woman is already thinking of cultivating the Supreme Way of Forgetting Emotions.
This visit is to say farewell, so there isn’t much time left.
Special measures are necessary.
“Your Majesty, wait for me, I’ll be right back!” Yaoyao ran off excitedly.
……
In the Moon Goddess Palace within the imperial palace, Song Yufei was meditating.
But at that moment, she couldn’t calm her mind. Her thoughts were in turmoil, filled with the image of one person.
Sighing, she got up from the bed and slowly walked to the window.
Through the window, she saw the bright moon in the sky, and within it, she faintly saw the figure of that person.
Feeling lost and forlorn, she murmured, “Your Majesty, will you forget me if we parted for several years? If I forget you, would you be heartbroken?”
She had no answer in her heart.
Although she had only seen Lin Beifan a few times, his image was already etched in her heart.
His handsome appearance, his brilliant talents and strategies, his chivalrous tendency, and his ambition to conquer the world all deeply attracted her, leaving her fascinated.
After all, which woman in the world wouldn’t want to marry His Majesty?
Although she was a Taoist Child of the Taoist Sect, she was still a woman, so she was no exception.
Unfortunately, their relationship had gradually turned from friends to adversaries due to differences in their positions.
In that time, too many unpleasant things had happened.
Even though the issues had been resolved now, the rift between them remained.
And because of her identity, she could never stand by his side and share in his joys and sorrows.
Sometimes, she was particularly envious of Yaoyao.
Although she was an enchantress, she had the freedom to do as she pleased and to marry the man she desired.
She, on the other hand, bore too many burdens and was not free to make her own choices.
“Alas! With this parting, the world widens between us, and perhaps we shall never meet again!”
Just then, a person clad in black suddenly burst in.
“Who’s there?” Song Yufei immediately struck out with her palm.
The person in black caught the blow and continued to attack.
The two began to fight within the palace.
As they fought, Song Yufei shouted, “Who exactly are you, daring to burst into this grand palace?”
The person in black said nothing and suddenly threw a handful of white powder.
Song Yufei reacted swiftly, retreating several zhang and using her True Qi to disperse the white powder.
But it was a step too late. She felt her bones go soft, and she could no longer muster her True Qi.
Then, an indescribable heat surged through her body.
Song Yufei exclaimed in horror, “Who are you and what have you done to me?”
“What have I done? You’ll find out soon enough, heheh!” the person in black chuckled eerily, then scooped up the powerless Song Yufei and dashed out the window.
Before long, the two arrived at the Emperor’s chamber.
“Your Majesty, this woman is now in your hands. Try to win her over!” The person in black lifted their veil, laughing slyly.
Lin Beifan took Song Yufei into his arms, shocked, “Yaoyao, what have you done to her?”
“Nothing much, just gave her a little medicine. You’ll understand soon. I’m off, good luck!” Yaoyao said and vanished in an instant.
At that moment, Song Yufei in his arms had a flushed face, her eyes seductively charming as she reached out to caress Lin Beifan’s face, saying with deep emotion, “Your Majesty, is that you?”
At this point, how could Lin Beifan hold back?
He immediately took action.
What happened this night needs no explanation.
