Chapter 503 - 502: Trying to Steal a Chicken, but Losing the Rice (Part 2)
CREAK. The door opened to reveal an unfamiliar silver-haired girl.
She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen. Upon seeing Qin Feng open the door, she immediately gave a slight curtsy and said,
"Young Master Qin, the Queen requests your presence at Xi Yue Palace!"
"The Queen requests my presence?" Qin Feng was surprised. ’Why would she summon me this late at night?’
Despite his misgivings, Qin Feng didn’t truly suspect anything. He stepped out of the treehouse and locked the door behind him.
At that moment, the Silver Moon Race was holding a bonfire party, and most of the Qin Family disciples from the surrounding treehouses had gone to attend.
It was pitch-black.
...
Xi Yue Palace was one of the Silver Moon Queen’s Traveling Palaces. It was grand and magnificent, as picturesque as a painting. Adorned with ancient trees that pulsed with the aura of life, the palace was filled with an ethereal, classical atmosphere.
Meanwhile, outside Xi Yue Palace, Princess Yu Qian and a beautiful woman in white were keeping watch from the woods. At their feet lay a burlap sack.
"Auntie Bai, are you sure that Yin-Yang Intoxication of yours will really work?"
"Rest assured. This Yin-Yang Intoxication is a Treasure I obtained from an ancient ruin. It’s colorless and odorless. Once mixed into wine, Qin Feng will be completely unable to detect it!"
"But will the Yin-Yang Intoxication really make him show his true colors?" A trace of doubt lingered on Princess Yu Qian’s pretty face.
A confident light shone in the stunning woman’s eyes. "Princess, although we Martial Artists have extraordinary physiques and can resist ordinary wine, or even some Spirit Wines, we absolutely cannot withstand this Yin-Yang Intoxication. Even if a Martial Arts Venerable were to drink it, they would fall into a daze for a short while, let alone Qin Feng, who is merely a Sea of Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist!"
"As long as he drinks the Yin-Yang Intoxication, within moments, he’ll fly into a frenzy. The only thing he’ll see are females. Even if a cow or a bitch were standing before him, he’d pounce without a second thought!"
A cold sneer flashed through the stunning woman’s eyes.
’Once Qin Feng falls for the trap and word gets out, it’ll be far more than just his reputation that’s destroyed.’
Princess Yu Qian nodded. A look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes as she imagined Qin Feng’s fate, but then she added, "But Auntie Bai, I don’t understand. Why must we lure him to Xi Yue Palace? This is Mother Empress’s private quarters, after all! If she finds out, things could get ugly!"
"Princess, we have no other choice." The stunning woman waved a hand dismissively. "Qin Feng is extremely cunning and cautious. Without a direct order from the Queen, I doubt he would ever let his guard down!"
Then, her beautiful eyes flickered as she asked, "By the way, is the Queen really staying in the Alchemy Room the whole time?"
Princess Yu Qian nodded. "Mother Empress rarely comes to Xi Yue Palace. She spends most of her time in the Alchemy Room or the Cultivation Room. She hardly ever comes here!"
"Good. In a moment, I will use my Transformation Divine Abilities to take on the Queen’s appearance and invite him for a drink. Once he consumes the Yin-Yang Intoxication, we’ll throw the person in this sack into the bedchamber. When that happens, Qin Feng won’t be able to argue his way out of it, no matter what he says!"
The woman in white sneered and opened the sack.
The stunningly beautiful face of Silver Bell was revealed inside.
Caressing Silver Bell’s snow-white skin and tracing her exquisite features, a seductive glint appeared in the woman in white’s eyes. "Such a beautiful little thing. What a pity. With the overwhelming power of the Yin-Yang Intoxication, I’m afraid you are destined for a tragic end!"
"But if you don’t die, how can we ensure Qin Feng’s complete and utter ruin!"
Princess Yu Qian glanced at Silver Bell’s gorgeous face, a flash of jealous hatred in her eyes. "It’s better if this bitch dies. If she wants to blame someone, she can blame herself for siding with that sister of mine and following the wrong person!"
"Look, Qin Feng is here!"
Before the palace, led by a silver-haired girl, Qin Feng approached from the other side of Silver Moon Lake and arrived before Xi Yue Palace.
Exquisite Lotus Lamps illuminated the palace, making it look magnificent and fantastical.
Just as he was about to step into Xi Yue Palace, Qin Feng suddenly stopped. He turned his head to look at the charming young woman under the lamplight and asked, "Did Her Majesty the Queen only invite me?"
"Yes!" the silver-haired girl in green who had led him there nodded with a smile.
Qin Feng’s expression shifted slightly. He glanced at the pretty, cute girl in green and said, "Judging by your appearance, you must be the Queen’s personal Maid, correct? Do you have any idea why Her Majesty is looking for me so late?"
In the woods, Princess Yu Qian grew nervous seeing Qin Feng suddenly stop.
"Why did he stop? Has he started to suspect something?"
The woman in white furrowed her brows. "He shouldn’t have. We haven’t revealed any flaws in our plan, have we?"
The girl in green chuckled softly. "Young Master, there’s no need to be nervous. The Queen is very kind!"
Qin Feng nodded and stepped into Xi Yue Palace.
"Great, he’s inside!"
In the woods, delight filled the two women’s eyes as they breathed a sigh of relief. A moment later, that delight was replaced by a ferocious and venomous glint.
"Next, I’ll use my Divine Abilities to transform into the Queen. This time, that brat is going to be utterly ruined!" the woman in white sneered. Her hands flew, forming a series of seals. A faint white light flickered around her, and in the blink of an eye, she had transformed into another woman.
This woman was the spitting image of the Silver Moon Queen.
Not only her appearance but even her aura was identical. Princess Yu Qian stared blankly, unable to tell if she was real or fake.
Witnessing this firsthand, Princess Yu Qian’s eyes filled with shock. "Auntie Bai, your Great Transformation Divine Ability is truly profound and unbelievable! You’ve not only perfectly mimicked Mother Empress’s appearance, but even her aura is exactly the same. For a moment, even I, her own daughter, couldn’t tell the difference!"
The beautiful woman in white!
No!
The ’Silver Moon Queen’ nodded. Her every movement carried a daunting majesty; even her expression was identical.
’Our Flower God clan’s Talent Divine Abilities are not so simple,’ the Flower Empress thought with smug satisfaction. ’If they were, I would have been discovered by the experts of the Star Sect long ago during my decade-plus of hiding in the City of Many Stars!’
The ’Silver Moon Queen’ nodded to Princess Yu Qian. Just as she was about to walk out of the woods and head for Xi Yue Palace, the expressions of both women froze.
They turned their heads with great difficulty.
Outside Xi Yue Palace, a streak of light descended, and a woman in white with silver hair, as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal, emerged from it.
This woman in white looked identical to the ’Silver Moon Queen’ standing beside Princess Yu Qian.
The silver-haired woman in white walked with elegant and unhurried steps, looking like a queen of the moon in the darkness. Before the two women’s stunned gazes, she entered Xi Yue Palace in just a few steps.
In the woods, they watched the woman enter Xi Yue Palace.
The two women’s muscles tensed, and the atmosphere plunged as if into an ice cellar.
The stunning woman’s gaze fell on Princess Yu Qian. Her voice was strained and heavy. "Princess, didn’t you say the Queen was staying in the Alchemy Room? How could she..."
Princess Yu Qian panicked. "I don’t know either! Mother Empress is usually in the Alchemy Room or the Cultivation Room! She rarely comes to Xi Yue Palace!"
"Auntie Bai, what do we do now?"
The woman in white was stunned for a long moment before a bitter sound escaped her lips. "What else can we do? The Yin-Yang Intoxication is already prepared. We can only hope the Queen doesn’t notice the jar of Spirit Wine we so carefully prepared!"
The woman in white’s heart pounded in her chest. She could only pray that the Silver Moon Queen wouldn’t drink that wine. ’If the Silver Moon Queen really drinks it, all hell will break loose...’
