As she looked at the two faces that had once been so familiar to her, Zhao Yue felt a ripple of emotion wash over her ordinary features. She stood firm against Wu Jian. After all, this was Li Shang Di Jun, surrounded by an overwhelming aura of authority.
Zhao Yue ignored Yun Shijiu's deliberate attempts to provoke her with a barrage of insults. When her gaze met Yun Zhi Yue's, she couldn't help but feel that, in that moment, it was she who had made a mistake. What right did he have to show such an expression when he had deceived her so thoroughly?
Yun Zhi Yue was both furious and hurt. Her cultivation surged to the peak of Zun Jing, sending Yun Shijiu flying and forcing Zhao Yue into the ground. She quickly followed, obscuring her view.
Yun Shijiu was momentarily stunned but soon grasped the situation. He desperately tried to push away thoughts he didn't want to entertain as the villa's illusion began to shift, transforming into a dark mist that enveloped the Huang Eel pool.
Below ground, the two paused their battle. Zhao Yue tightly embraced Yun Zhi Yue, tears streaming down her neck as she felt utterly wronged. Yun Zhi Yue opened her mouth to speak, but Zhao Yue shook her head.
Though Shijiu was there to cover for them, the Emperors would not overlook their dignity. However, the words spoken were clear enough for Ji Wei, who was responsible for creating the illusion.
Yun Zhi Yue had a torrent of words she wanted to say, but seeing Zhao Yue like this made her heartache overshadow her anger. From the very beginning, she should have realized that it was impossible for her to bare her soul to someone she had just met in this realm, especially not using her blood and spirit essence—such an act was simply unimaginable given her nature.
She had half of her Original Species within Yue Qi, and from the start, it had been about Yue Shi. How could she not hold back when it came to him? This little rascal had even deceived her into believing that Yue Qi had absorbed half of her Original Species and manipulated her into wanting to kill him—what kind of grudge was that?
The body of Zhao Yue now seemed like a mere avatar or something similar; she had become a disciple of Yue Qi, which indicated a deep-seated plan.
What did it mean for him to hold her and cry so pitifully? Wasn't he the one who made mistakes? What right did he have to weep?
Unable to speak, Yun Zhi Yue yanked Zhao Yue up and slapped her across the face with forceful strikes that left her hand numb. Zhao Yue did not resist; at first, there were clear handprints on her face, but soon it swelled up completely.
Earlier, due to the illusion, she had caught a glimpse of a fragment of inherited memories and sensed a familiar aura from Zhao Yue through Tai Chu Technique. That was why she couldn't hold back; now she regretted it somewhat.
This little rascal bore humiliation and hardship; she hoped this incident wouldn't ruin Zhao Yue's identity.
Though she couldn't articulate everything clearly, whether it was because they were close due to their Original Species or because they shared deep feelings over time, she always felt that Yue Shi was like a younger brother to her.
The mist would eventually disperse; when that time came, she'd consider giving him some punishment in return for his misdeeds. For today, just one beating would suffice; after all, one shouldn't strike too hard at home while still nurturing him. And how could he dare lay hands on Shijiu?
Don't be fooled by Shijiu's loud complaints; deep down, she's really sad. She even finds excuses for Yue Shi. How can this little rascal call herself a sister?
In just a quarter of an hour, when Yun Zhi Yue and Zhao Yue reappeared, they startled Yun Shijiu.
Pointing at Zhao Yue's swollen cheek, she burst into laughter. "Wow, my sister gave you a beauty treatment! Your face looks so much better now. Tell me, why were you spying on the Emperor? Did your master send you to keep an eye on him?"
A glimmer of amusement flashed in Yun Zhi Yue's eyes. It seems that Shijiu genuinely cares about Yue Shi. Despite almost being killed, she holds no grudge.
Zhao Yue glanced at Yun Shijiu and honestly admitted, "I wasn't spying on the Emperor. I was watching Yun Zhi Yue. Even though my master has left, he asked me to keep an eye out."
Yun Shijiu scoffed, "To sneak away like that and leave your disciple behind to watch? That's just pathetic."
