Chapter 649

Yao Yue watched Hua Yuenu's actions with delight, her smile deepening.

Lian Xing, however, was utterly baffled.

What's wrong with my sister?

It's just a maid throwing a man out of the valley—this has happened many times before.

"Could Jiang Feng, the Jade Scholar, really be special?" Lian Xing puzzled. "He's just the most beautiful man in the world. To us cultivators, his looks mean nothing!"

But she didn't know Yao Yue had read the original "Eternal Twins," and had long since written Jiang Feng's name in her little notebook.

Even though she didn't like him now!

But that didn't stop her from holding a grudge.

A woman's sense of rivalry can be strangely peculiar.

Now, Hua Yuenu herself had thrown Jiang Feng out—this was pure entertainment, filling Yao Yue with uncontainable joy.

But she could never explain this to her sister—otherwise, Lian Xing would learn what had truly happened in the original.

If that happened, Lian Xing might once again develop rebellious thoughts.

For her, that was utterly intolerable.

Though Yao Yue was no empress, her fortune was immense; blessed by the chat group's opportunity, she was destined to rule the world.

Even her own sister must never escape her control.

"Originally, I planned to invite my sister to the An Tian Conference. But now, I think it's better not to take her." Yao Yue gazed at Lian Xing practicing swordplay in the distance, her thoughts swirling. "Su Xiao and the others love stirring up trouble—they might incite Lian Xing to rebel against me!"

"And that demon sect witch—always opposing me—doesn't she just rely on joining the group before me and having slightly stronger power? Hmph, one day, I'll make her suffer on the arena!"

As she thought this, Yao Yue's expression darkened, the temperature plummeting instantly, frost spreading across the ground.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Yao Yue looked up and saw her maids had already fled far away; Lian Xing had also sensed the disturbance and rushed over.

"Nothing," Yao Yue calmed her anger with a cool smile. "I just remembered an enemy. The Dao Lord is hosting the An Tian Conference and inviting members of the group—I originally wanted to take you."

"But thinking of that enemy, I feel it's unsafe to bring you. I'll bring back some delicious treats for you instead."

Lian Xing was deeply moved—her sister truly cared for her!

"Sister, if it's an enemy, we should face it together—I'm not afraid."

"Lian Xing! The Dao Lord is hosting guests—it's better to avoid trouble and keep peace. This time, I'll yield three steps." Yao Yue sighed. "You'll have to endure some grievance with me—stay behind and guard the Yihua Palace."

"Yes, sister," Lian Xing replied reluctantly, seething with resentment toward the enemy her sister mentioned.

How painful it must be for such a proud sister to yield!

After all, Lian Xing had never seen Yao Yue retreat before.

For Yao Yue, who always sought to dominate everything, this was a colossal humiliation.

When the master is shamed, the servant must die—Lian Xing felt a sense of mission, a surge of motivation.

"I will train harder, and someday help my sister—so she won't have to fight alone!"

Watching Lian Xing leave with fierce determination, Yao Yue felt immense joy.

"This is the joy of control."

"One day, I will hold the entire world in my palm, like the Dao Lord—calculating every move flawlessly."

"Speaking of the Dao Lord—he truly is stunningly beautiful. The only flaw is he's a bit fickle. But that's no problem—with me, Yao Yue, he'll soon see all others as common, vulgar beauties, and cherish only me."

Yao Yue had once planned to offer Lian Xing to the Dao Lord to gain his strong support.

But after watching the live broadcast of the Dao Lord subduing the Three Realms, she instantly realized she'd been foolish—her mindset shifted immediately.

How could she ever let this opportunity go to Lian Xing!

If Lian Xing truly hooked up with the Dao Lord, wouldn't she be reduced to second place?

Thinking this, Yao Yue's mind shifted, and she pulled out a mountain of clothing from her inner realm, letting them float in midair.

Among them were ancient palace gowns, modern JK skirts, and various uniforms with silk stockings.

"People from centuries later have such wild imaginations—so many beautiful clothes!" Yao Yue stared at the pile, paralyzed by choice. "I look good in any of them! But to truly catch the Dao Lord's eye… it's still not easy, is it?"

Suddenly, Yao Yue's eyes lit up as she glanced at Hua Yuenu pruning flower branches nearby.

"Yuenu, come here!"

"Yes, Palace Mistress," Hua Yuenu replied with worshipful eyes. "What does the Palace Mistress require of Yuenu?"

Yao Yue pointed at the pile of clothes. "Pick out one that will attract the most attention from men!"

Having read the original, Yao Yue held a fixed impression of Hua Yuenu—she was extremely skilled at seducing men!

Hua Yuenu froze—attract men?

What is the Palace Mistress planning?

Thinking… of that thing?

If I've discovered this secret, will she kill me?

Nervously, Hua Yuenu stared at the pile of clothes—and blushed furiously.

Modern clothing was still far too advanced for someone from ancient times!

"These clothes are so lewd!" Hua Yuenu gasped. "Why would the Palace Mistress wear these!!!"

After much hesitation, Hua Yuenu finally forced herself to pick a simple, elegant white dress.

As a servant of the Yihua Palace, Hua Yuenu possessed a remarkably clever mind.

Yao Yue had summoned her to choose clothes—so clearly, the ancient styles were not the answer.

After all, if she wanted an ancient gown, Yao Yue could have chosen one herself.

The answer must lie among the more advanced garments.

Yao Yue looked at the dress Hua Yuenu had chosen and nodded in satisfaction.

"No wonder she's a fox seductress—she has some skill in choosing clothes."

Though her heart brimmed with slander, she showed no sign on her face; instead, she offered a few words of praise and dismissed Huayue's maidservant.

"Don't tell anyone about today's affair!"

"Yes, Palace Master. Your servant knows nothing!"
