Chapter 125: Two Women Confront Each Other, Vying for Favor!

Chapter 125: Two Women Confront Each Other, Vying for Favor!

"I was just about to say that."

Seeing Senior Sister Ziyuan approaching aggressively with an unkind expression, Shangguan Si felt her anger rise.

The moment she arrived, she confronted her head-on, and anger instantly surged within her.

It was true that she could not compare to Senior Sister Ziyuan; she lacked her prominent family background, and even more so, her formidable strength.

But what right did Senior Sister Ziyuan have to be so arrogant in front of her?

Just because she had a bit of ambiguity with Qin Xuan and was protected by him in public, did she have to act so spoiled?

Don't be fooled by how she and Qin Xuan now maintained a relationship of propriety; in reality, back in the Dragon Blood Secret Realm, she and Qin Xuan had already become one.

Their relationship was far more intimate than that between Senior Sister Ziyuan and Qin Xuan.

No matter how ambiguous things were, Senior Sister Ziyuan and Qin Xuan were still only at the stage of developing feelings.

But she was different; she and Qin Xuan had truly shared an intimate physical connection!

Refusing to be outdone, she continued, "The matter of the Dragon Eyes should not be spread at this time. My sister and I have low cultivation Realms, so if we have a Breakthrough, we can use the excuse of an Opportunity to brush it off."

"But if Father, who is in the Saint King Realm, were to have a Breakthrough, and his pupil power of destruction were to surge, it would inevitably invite unnecessary speculation!"

Senior Sister Ziyuan tightened her grip on Qin Xuan's arm and said coldly, "It is good that you know."

Shangguan Si gave a soft hmph, "I don't need Senior Sister Ziyuan to remind me; I would have refused Young Master Qin's kindness anyway."

"However, lurking outside and eavesdropping on my conversation with Young Master Qin, as Senior Sister Ziyuan has done, is frankly quite annoying."

Senior Sister Ziyuan did not feel there was anything wrong with that.

She had just happened to come looking for him and had not intended to eavesdrop.

Besides, how could she ever do anything to harm Qin Xuan?

She would rather help him keep it tightly hidden.

"Like it or hate it, for the next period of time, I will stay here and Cultivate with Qin Xuan. If there is nothing else, you two may leave."

Right in front of the Shangguan sisters, she spoke straightforwardly to Qin Xuan, "The Saint Lord did not pass down a Saint Grade Cultivation Technique to me before, but a true Treasure Art called 'Heavenly Scorpion Treasure Art.' Even if it is incomplete, it surpasses all Saint Grade Cultivation Techniques; it is a rare treasure that one can only hope to encounter!"

As the only daughter of the Chief Saint Physician and the Peak Master of Danding Peak, Senior Sister Ziyuan had a noble status and exceptional vision.

Something that could leave her stunned for a moment...

Even a Saint Grade Cultivation Technique could not achieve that.

Only an existence at the level of a Treasure Art could move her.

Even though it was only the incomplete version of the 'Heavenly Scorpion Treasure Art,' even those as strong as the Peak of the Saint King Realm, or even beings at the level of the Double-Pupil Woman, would struggle to possess it.

Once such a Treasure Art was leaked, it would incite the Saint King Realm to slaughter.

Even those as strong as the Peak of the Saint King Realm would bleed for it!

"This Treasure Art is decisive in killing and has a Heaven-Defying effect. The direction she pointed to earlier is most likely the Land of Fallen Emperors, which is about to open."

"If you and I Cultivate the 'Heavenly Scorpion Treasure Art' together, we can look out for each other when we enter the Land of Fallen Emperors."

Senior Sister Ziyuan did not doubt the efficacy of Shangguan Si's Nether Pupil in surveying good and bad fortune.

Moreover, the Opportunity in the Land of Fallen Emperors was so great that even the former Great Emperor Ziyang had to force his way in.

It was reasonable that there would be an Opportunity inside to erase the curse of the Double-Pupil Woman.

Shangguan Si narrowed her beautiful eyes, meeting Senior Sister Ziyuan's peach-blossom eyes, and retorted sharply, "Senior Sister Ziyuan, are you planning to cast me aside?"

"Even if you overheard about the Land of Fallen Emperors, so what? That desperate situation claimed the life of even the former Great Emperor Ziyang."

"It is fraught with danger; even those at the Peak of the Saint King Realm dare not risk their lives to hunt for treasure inside."

"Without my Innate Nether Eyes, are you sure you can find treasures for Young Master Qin?"

Senior Sister Ziyuan did not answer, only glancing at Shangguan Ying, seemingly intending to utilize Shangguan Ying's Innate Nether Eyes.

In her eyes, Shangguan Ying's threat was far less significant than Shangguan Si's!

"Would you be willing to go with us?" Senior Sister Ziyuan asked softly.

Shangguan Ying clutched her sister's arm, nodded, and then immediately shook her head.

She complained distressfully, "Sister, Senior Sister Ziyuan, why are you so angry? You act like enemies the moment you meet."

"Aren't you both doing this for Young Master Qin's sake? Don't you both just want to take care of Young Master Qin? How about this: for the first ten days of this month, Sister takes care of him for three days, Senior Sister Ziyuan takes care of him for three days. For the last ten days, you can each take care of him for three days again."

Senior Sister Ziyuan and Shangguan Si both looked at Shangguan Ying's delicately carved, jade-like face and asked in unison, "What about the remaining eight days of the first and last ten-day periods, and what about the middle ten days?"

Shangguan Ying pouted, her big, watery eyes shifting elsewhere, and she muttered guiltily, "Then... I'll take care of him."

Shangguan Si smiled bitterly, pinched her sister's cheek, and scolded, "You little rascal, you're quite the schemer!"

"Absolutely not!"

Qing Ning, who had been listening from the side, finally couldn't help but speak up, reminding them, "Senior Sister Ziyuan, Junior Sister Shangguan, the three of you should return to your respective Peaks. Young Master has me to look after him here, and that is enough."

She could no longer turn a blind eye.

Otherwise, given the posturing of Senior Sister Ziyuan and Shangguan Si, she would be squeezed out of the residence.

She was still calculating how to bear an heir for Young Master.

Who would have thought that even a single day hadn't passed yet.

Was the status of being the only 'bed-warming maid' by Young Master's side going to be stolen away?

She and Young Master were in the midst of deep affection.

How could she be willing to have the days spent with Young Master be divided among others?

She kept her long, straight legs tightly together, enduring the shyness of the warm current flowing within her, and said solemnly, "This is what I owe Young Master. Previously, I was deceived by that villain Ye Feng and committed many wrongdoings that hurt Young Master. Now, I should pay the price for my mistakes and take careful care of Young Master to repay this debt!"

Shangguan Si refused to be outdone, saying, "My Shangguan Family has suffered much bullying in the Ziyang Imperial Capital. My brother was brutally murdered by Ning Wuya. It was Qin Xuan who avenged my brother, and it was also Qin Xuan who saved our crumbling house, rescuing the Shangguan Family from dire straits."

"If we talk about owing, our Shangguan Family owes Qin Xuan the most."

"It should be our Shangguan Family who repays him!"

Senior Sister Ziyuan finally understood.

Shangguan Si and Qing Ning were competing over who had it worse!

The key was that she, it seemed, truly did not have the special experiences that Shangguan Si and Qing Ning had.

But she would absolutely not allow her bond with Qin Xuan to be outdone by others!

She gazed at the spatial ring on her fingertip, her heart growing more determined, and said coldly, "As the Chief Disciple of Wanzhen Peak, in terms of seniority, I am Qin Xuan's Senior Sister. In terms of cultivation, I have already stepped into the Quasi-Saint Realm. If Qin Xuan has any situation, I can also intervene and treat him in time. Moreover, I have a Treasure Art that I must Cultivate with Qin Xuan. Reasonably and emotionally, the person who should stay in the residence to look after Qin Xuan should be me!"

The three parties confronted each other, with none willing to yield.

As their gazes crossed, it was as if sparks of lightning were flying.

Just then, a triumphant laugh rang out from outside the house.

"Nowadays, can you steal a man just by playing the victim?"

"Nowadays, can a Senior Sister just steal someone's fiancé?"

Luo Xinyi, holding heavy objects in both arms, stepped over the threshold and walked in with a smile.

Following beside her was Mu Qingxue, who looked uneasy.

Luo Xinyi pulled Mu Qingxue's arm, arrogantly lifted her snow-white chin, and without even deigning to look at the three women—Senior Sister Ziyuan and the others—she said coldly and condescendingly, "Qin Xuan is in trouble now; the one who should be taking care of him is his fiancée, Qing Xue, not you outsiders!"
