Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 198 - Jealous Again

Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Jealous Again Chapter 198 -198: Jealous Again An Yuemei was skilled at social interactions; she began by discussing Luo Qing’er’s situation.

In fact, Luo Qing’er was quite famous.

She was from the Purple Star Sect and was even a True Disciple.

In the Eastern Fire Continent, the Founding King Court represented the peak level, standing on the fifth step of the martial arts, while the Purple Star Sect boasted such powerhouse presence, qualifying as a five-star force and one of the strongest in the entire Eastern Fire Continent.

In comparison, the Zhenwu Sect was only a four-star force, no match for the formidable power of the Purple Star Sect.

So, to find Luo Qing’er, it was very simple—just go to the Purple Star Sect.

This!

Shi Hao knew from the Talismanic Soldier gifted by Luo Qing’er that her backing must be incredibly powerful, but he had not expected it to be a dominant force of the Eastern Fire Continent.

However, it was clear Luo Qing’er was on a mission, searching for Ruan Jiaoyu and Lin Yuyue—mainly Lin Yuyue.

What, then, was Lin Yuyue’s relationship with the Purple Star Sect?

After pondering for a while, Shi Hao set aside the question.

He would deal with it when he visited the Purple Star Sect one day.

Shi Hao began alchemy while Qi Yingpeng assisted him on the side.

Of course, he was buzzing with excitement; observing a master at work would surely be of great help to him.

Shi Hao was also extremely cautious. There was only one set of ingredients, and despite possessing Yuan Chengmie’s memories, he didn’t truly consider himself a master.

Throughout the process, he gained considerable insight, which sparked an even deeper interest in the Alchemy Dao.

—Cultivation is inseparable from elixirs, and constantly asking others to produce them is such a hassle.

Why not make them yourself!

After more than two hours, he finally succeeded.

But Shi Hao was utterly exhausted. Even though his Soul Force was incredibly robust, far surpassing that of an ordinary Soul Nurturing practitioner, he had been crafting a four-star elixir, which had completely drained his Soul Power.

“Thank you, Young Master Shi! Thank you so much!” An Yuemei was overflowing with gratitude. She immediately presented a thousand Spirit Stones and temporarily took on the role of a maidservant, bringing Shi Hao tea and water, helping him sit down on a chair.

She was grateful, but also, finding Shi Hao so attractive, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of affection.

In the candlelight, Shi Hao rested with his eyes closed. The contours of his facial features were sharply defined, as if carved by light, with a strong sense of depth. The more she looked, the more enchanting he became, sinking her deeper into admiration.

A snap caused the candle flame to brighten, snapping An Yuemei out of her trance.

She couldn’t help but blush, feeling a wave of shyness.

At the Zhenwu Sect, she was acknowledged as a goddess, adored by countless senior and junior disciples, and after arriving here, even the dazzlingly talented Lu Yun had lowered his gaze in her presence, shrinking his pride and attending to her every whim.

Yet, this young man before her had not been moved by her beauty, which did make her slightly uncomfortable. However, he was also the first person who did not harbor any unsavory thoughts towards her because of her beauty.

This aroused in her a feeling of novelty and an indescribable sense of ease.

Plus, the man was exceptionally handsome!

She touched the elixir stored close to her body, and even through the bottle, she felt as if she could sense traces left by Shi Hao.

She needed to hurry back to her sect to deliver the elixir to her mentor.

“President Qi, Miss An will take her leave now. I’ll be sure to come back another day to express my thanks,” she said as she left the study, speaking softly to the waiting Qi Yingpeng outside, careful not to disturb Shi Hao.

But why was the old man waiting outside the study in the first place?

Could it be he was deliberately giving them the opportunity to be alone?

At this thought, she blushed again.

Qi Yingpeng smiled and said, “Miss An, please go ahead.”

An Yuemei nodded and left under the cover of night.

Old Mr. Qi laughed to himself; although he considered himself a disciple of Shi Hao in the realm of alchemy, in life, he saw himself as an elder to Shi Hao.

Since he was an elder, and with Shi Hao being of age, perhaps it was time for him to consider marriage and children?

Lu Jiayi and An Yuemei, for instance, were both women he had intentionally introduced to Shi Hao.

——He cannot concoct Root Nourishing Pills? He cannot concoct Seven-Transforming Pills?

Of course, he could!

On one hand, just as he said, the elixir Shi Hao concocted should indeed be more effective; what’s more crucial is that he wanted to play matchmaker for Shi Hao.

In his view, Shi Hao’s alchemy technique was even higher than his own; was he not worthy of those two women?

Let alone marrying the treasured daughters of the Lu Family and Zhenwu Sect, even if he took both as wives simultaneously, there would be no issue.

However… it seemed that Shi Hao was completely oblivious in this regard, truly a case of the emperor being less concerned than the eunuch.

…

Lu Family.

Lu Yun had just finished his morning training, exhaling a breath of white air that, *pfft*, actually pierced through a faux stone, exhibiting terrifying destructive power.

“Young Master Yun!” a servant dared to speak only at this moment, his face undisguised with admiration.

Without turning his head, Lu Yun said, “Speak.”

The servant replied, “Miss An left last night to return to Zhenwu Sect.”

Lu Yun wasn’t surprised; he knew she had come for the Nine-Lamps Grass, and now that she had obtained it, it was only natural for her to return.

However, the fact that the beauty hadn’t come to bid him farewell did leave him with a slight sense of regret.

But no matter, he could visit An Yuemei at Zhenwu Sect.

With his talent, as long as he hinted a little, expressing an intention to join Zhenwu Sect, he believed they would certainly welcome him with great enthusiasm.

“However——” the servant hesitated.

“Don’t hem and haw, speak!” Lu Yun said sharply.

“Yes,” the servant quickly nodded and continued, “Before leaving, Miss An also visited a pharmacy.”

Lu Yun remained unperturbed; this was not strange, as concocting Seven-Transforming Pills couldn’t possibly rely only on Nine-Lamps Grass, naturally, other auxiliary herbs were needed.

“Miss An also entered the inner courtyard and spent more than two hours with a young man named Shi Hao,” the servant added.

Smack!

A large stone was immediately shattered to pieces as Lu Yun stood up, his complexion darkening.

What could a man and a woman do alone together in the dead of night, for over two hours? What could they possibly do?

For a moment, he felt a greenish hue on his head.

But after a moment, he calmed down again.

No, no, no, An Yuemei was a True Disciple of Zhenwu Sect, her standards exceedingly high; even towards a Heaven’s Proud Son like himself, she kept a polite but distant attitude.

So, what could a pharmacy owner have that would tempt An Yuemei?

There must be another explanation.

“You may leave,” he waved his hand, deciding to refrain from any action for the time being.

But deep down, there seemed to be a prick in his heart, an inexplicable twinge of pain.

“Wait,” he called the servant back, “Investigate that Shi Hao.”

“Yes,” the servant quickly nodded.

Lu Yun sat down again, his heart and demeanor calm.

He was the most favored scion of Sanyuan City in centuries; no one could rival him. Unless An Yuemei was blind, she wouldn’t forsake him for a pharmacy owner.

So, should he be jealous of that kind of man?

Pah!

Before long, the servant returned with the information, and even brought a portrait of Shi Hao, remarkably lifelike.

The moment Lu Yun saw it, his face immediately turned green.
