The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 521: I’m Going to Kill Her to Avenge My Sister

Nanli had to remind her, "Gold and silver are useless; you can’t take them to the Nether World. They need to be burned as paper offerings, and you must recite your name while burning them."

"Is that so!" Lu Yanyan slammed the table, "That scoundrel almost tricked me! He didn’t even understand this clearly!"

Nanli told her to stay still and had Evil Bee administer an antidote to neutralize the poison.

Lu Yanyan felt much lighter and sighed with relief before asking, "Have you gotten pregnant yet?"

Nanli, about to sip her tea, spilled it all over her clothes in surprise.

She put down the teacup and said, "Miss Lu, it’s only been a few days." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Lu Yanyan nodded, "That’s true. I’ll ask you again later."

Nanli’s lips twitched. "Don’t ask. The answer is no."

"What?" Lu Yanyan exclaimed, "You’ve been together for four days straight. How could you not be pregnant?"

Nanli, now calm, said, "With dual cultivation, it’s possible to control things. Do you understand?"

Lu Yanyan was astonished and covered her mouth, "So... it can be controlled like that?"

Cultivation and immortality were truly profound and beyond the understanding of an ordinary woman like her.

She quickly sighed, "It seems like you don’t want to have children. Doesn’t that make the Emperor very sad? My father said that the Emperor was so delighted to hear about your consummation that he couldn’t sleep, especially since Ye Chengyan has just died."

It was clear how much Emperor Muwu longed for Nanli to bear a child, bringing peace to him.

Nanli’s gaze darkened, and her hands clenched slowly.

Previously, Qi Nation was eyeing them closely, so she couldn’t risk pregnancy in case something changed midway.

Now that she could handle Qi Hong, they had also made enemies with the Immortal World. It was even more crucial not to conceive a child at this moment.

Through this ordeal, she realized she needed to become stronger to confront the Immortal World!

Thus, she and Ye Siheng had agreed to set aside the matter of children for now.

"There’s no need to rush the matter of having children; we have greater ambitions."

Lu Yanyan had heard about Xu Shao, "I understand. I heard the prince has immortal affinities and even gained an extra Golden Core, enabling him to teleport! You both must be planning to cultivate and ascend, right?"

Nanli pursed her lips, "That’s one way to put it."

They were indeed looking for an opportunity to visit the Immortal World to understand his Golden Core and her Spirit Pearl better.

Lu Yanyan looked at her with admiration, "So, having children isn’t urgent."

She believed that in the near future, the prince and A’Li would surely ascend! By then, she would be able to tell others that her sister-in-law achieved immortality.

How proud she would be!

Immortal World.

Yan Luo was practicing on Yunxiao Peak, making slow progress.

Her Lingfeng Sword Technique was still weak, and she struggled to master its key aspects.

Accompanying her was Yun Shen.

Today, she finally couldn’t hold back and shattered a stone. Staring at Yun Shen, she said, "It seems that even Senior Brother Yun Shen hasn’t grasped the technique. Why can’t Master come back to teach me?"

Yun Shen was fed up.

He was not in the best of moods, as the Young Lady of Penglai Island had tantrums daily--complaining about the food at Seven Peaks Sect or the bedding not being soft enough, expecting only the best.

No wonder she was still at the Foundation Establishment stage and hadn’t reached the Golden Core realm.

Yun Shen said, "Though most of the Upper Realm’s Ghost Fire has been extinguished, there are still many areas in the Lower Realm suffering from Ghost Fire. Master is busy putting out the fires and has no time to teach you."

Yan Luo gritted her teeth and huffed, "The Lower Realm is insignificant. Why should Master waste time on it?"

Those in the Lower Realm should be grateful for even a little bit of spiritual energy from the Upper Realm. They shouldn’t be demanding Master’s attention and hindering her practice.

Yun Shen, coming from the Lower Realm himself, felt deeply offended.

The Immortal World had set up barriers dividing Upper and Lower Realms.

The Upper Realm was nourished by spiritual trees, rich in spiritual energy, greatly aiding cultivation.

The Lower Realm had sparse spiritual energy, and those who wished to join sects and cultivate had to put in much more effort.

If Yan Luo were from the Lower Realm, her qualifications wouldn’t have even allowed her to participate in the sect selection.

But she was born into a favorable position; what could Yun Shen do about it?

Yun Shen’s face grew colder. "If you want Master back sooner to guide your sword technique, why not return to Penglai Island and get a magical artifact to help Master extinguish the Ghost Fire?"

He then turned and left, too frustrated to continue teaching.

Yan Luo watched his retreating figure, stamping her foot in anger.

However, Yun Shen had pointed out that Penglai Island indeed had a powerful artifact capable of extinguishing the Ghost Fire.

Without further hesitation, she flew back to Penglai Island on her sword.

Penglai Island was located at the far east, surrounded by the sea.

In the center of the island stood a thriving spiritual tree, surrounded by swirling spiritual energy.

The disciples of Penglai Island, awed and respectful, greeted her, "Fourth Miss."

Penglai Island’s master, Yan Buxiu, had two sons and two daughters. Yan Luo, the youngest daughter, was greatly favored.

These outer disciples were ignored by Yan Luo, who headed straight to the heart of the sect, arriving at Penglai Pavilion.

At the entrance, inner disciples stopped her, saying, "Fourth Miss, the Island Master is in closed-door training and has prohibited any disturbances."

Yan Luo snorted, "Am I just anyone?!"

She then raised her voice.

The inner disciples, flustered, said, "Please don’t disturb the Island Master."

But a deep voice came from within, "Let her in."

With a loud thud, the door opened.

The inner disciples dared not obstruct her further.

Once inside, the door closed automatically behind her.

She rushed to the inner chamber and saw Yan Buxiu meditating on a spiritual stone, his eyes now open.

"Father!" Yan Luo was shocked. She had been at Seven Peaks Sect for such a short time, yet her father had aged so much, looking depleted and worn out.

Her eyes reddened as she rushed forward, grabbing his arm. "What happened to you?"

Yan Buxiu sighed, "Your eldest sister met with calamity in the Human World. Her soul was shattered. I’ve been expending too much spiritual energy trying to open the Immortal Sect to save her, and now I need to go into seclusion to recuperate."

"What!?" Yan Luo’s eyes widened in shock, "Father, eldest sister used a magical artifact to reincarnate to escape the heavenly tribulation. That artifact should ensure her safety. How could her soul be shattered?"

"That reincarnation jade was meant to ensure her safe passage, but she encountered that witch. Naturally, things went awry," Yan Buxiu said with a pained heart.

"The witch? Nanli? Did Nanli kill eldest sister?" Yan Luo demanded.

Yan Buxiu’s eyes were moist, "Yes."

"I’m going to kill her to avenge my sister!" Yan Luo said furiously.

She was about to get up.
