Chapter 155: This woman is absolutely a queen of palace intrigue

~8 min read 1,426 words

Being able to realize one's potential and actually possessing that potential are, in fact, two different things.

Many people have this talent, but their poor temperament leads them to become indistinguishable from the masses, making it very difficult for them to reach the upper limit of their talent in the end.

But Gu Nianmo is different.

He not only realized the upper limit of his talent, but especially in situations where he could completely avoid relying on the Qilin Divine Blood, he was still able to achieve a cultivation level capable of suppressing the firmament with a single force.

This gave Liu Moran a reassurance, a sense of confidence.

As long as her son was given a sufficient and stable space for cultivation, and a period of time as a buffer, then all problems would no longer be problems.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Moran dared to attempt various methods so aggressively.

And what Liu Moran did not expect was that a hidden event, which had never been triggered in her 【Reincarnation Deduction】, had actually taken effect this time.

The old subordinates of the Liu Family could also be said to be resources that came with her background, only she had never seriously made contact with them before.

Of course, given Liu Moran's temperament, it was impossible for her to believe these people just because they claimed to be her grandfather's former subordinates upon triggering an Opportunity.

However, since these people took the initiative to find Niankong Villa and wanted to assist in the current situation, Liu Moran had to set aside her distrust for the time being, even if she felt some.

But for the most critical matters, Liu Moran would not let the Liu Family Four Guards execute them; when it concerned her own life and the core of her precious son, she could only trust herself.

【The Liu Family Four Guards have joined Niankong Villa.】

【Niankong Villa will encounter eight enemy raids, and their target is Gu Nianmo, who possesses the Qilin Divine Blood.】

Liu Moran narrowed her eyes slightly.

【Mie Changsheng】 had another benefit: the ability to synchronize information and trends. This information gap might not mean much to others, but for Liu Moran, it allowed her to lay out her plans in advance.

The advantage this brought to Liu Moran could not be explained in just a few words.

In the previous 【Reincarnation Simulation】, within the storyline of Liu Moran and Gu Jiangming, there were two regrets for Liu Moran: one was that Gu Jiangming died and she couldn't save him, and the other was that Gu Nianmo, in order to protect his mother, ultimately chose to excise his Qilin Divine Blood and "return" it to the so-called Qilin Clan, greatly diminishing his own talent.

This was a point that left Liu Moran quite puzzled, as if this Qilin Divine Blood was supposed to belong to the Qilin Clan.

Then the question arises: why couldn't other Qilins awaken the Qilin Divine Blood, yet it could be awakened when it came to Gu Nianmo?

This was Gu Nianmo's talent from beginning to end, not some talent of the Qilin Clan.

It was the Qilin blood being in Gu Nianmo that caused the Qilin blood to revert to its ancestors.

Therefore, Liu Moran did not believe from the bottom of her heart that Gu Nianmo had returned the Qilin Divine Blood to the Qilin Clan; rather, it was the Qilin Clan that had snatched Gu Nianmo's talent.

She gnashed her teeth in hatred toward the Qilin.

Nothing else; she was simply a petty person.

【Since you established Niankong Villa, you have been sleepless day and night, diligently practicing your techniques. You originally intended to abandon the "Heavenly Demon Ten Fragrances," but given the current situation, you have no choice but to resume practicing this demonic art.】

【The foundation from your previous thousand years of practice allowed you to practice the "Heavenly Demon Ten Fragrances" without obstruction, and in just a few years, you broke through to the Enlightenment Stage.】

【However, in order to protect your beloved son Gu Nianmo, you gave up the opportunity for Heaven and Earth Enlightenment, calmly accepting the passive situation of remaining stuck at the Enlightenment Stage once you stepped into it.】

【In these three years of effort, you have already tempered the "Heavenly Demon Ten Fragrances" to the realm of the Ninth Fragrance, but you have yet to catch even a glimpse of the Tenth Fragrance.】

【This is a supreme realm you have never broken through to in the past; your eagerness for quick success in your heart has instead made it even harder for you to grasp the secrets of the "Heavenly Demon Ten Fragrances."】

【That night, in Duanlong City near Niankong Villa, a flood serpent, seeking a breakthrough to become a Demon Race with more noble bloodlines, discovered the location of Niankong Villa and took the lead in launching an attack on Niankong Villa with the Demon Race of Duanlong City.】

【Within the Demon Race, the hierarchy is strict, with bloodline stratification that acts like order.】

【Except for those spirits and monsters that rely on Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi and natural transformation, those Demon Race that transform by eating human flesh and evolve from brutal beasts can only be called inferior goods among the Demon Race.】

【The Qilin, Phoenix, and Dragon Race are the most noble Ancient God Demons standing above all Demon Race.】

【Below them are the Primordial Great Demon, Named Great Demon, and the Historical Demon recorded in biographies.】

【Like the flood serpent, it is an ordinary person among the Demon Race; it has cultivated to this day through great hardship and possesses a city as a place to rely on, which is truly not easy.】

【Therefore, the flood serpent was extremely eager for the Qilin Divine Blood, believing that if it could obtain the Qilin Divine Blood, it might be able to ascend the Dragon Gate and transform its flood serpent blood into a dragon body.】

【In the flood serpent clan, there has always been a legend that when they cultivate to the supreme realm, they will surely turn into dragons.】

【You made preparations in advance, with the Liu Family Four Guards standing guard at four different positions in Niankong Villa.】

【And your talent in the way of arrays is no weaker than others, especially since you knew that Niankong Villa would be besieged, so you made various preparations in advance.】

【Within three years, you deployed no less than three hundred types of arrays within Niankong Villa.】

【It was as solid as a copper wall and an iron bastion.】

【The flood serpent led the Demon Race of Duanlong City to launch an offensive toward the discovered location of Niankong Villa.】

【These three hundred pre-prepared arrays slaughtered these Demon Race with insufficient cultivation with astonishing lethality.】

【And you absolutely could not let the location of Niankong Villa be exposed, so you decided to leave none of the Demon Race brought by the flood serpent alive, wiping them all out.】

From Gu Jiangming's perspective.

The card avatars of the Liu Family Four Guards surrounded and killed the flood serpent, and the Demon Race around the flood serpent that were worth mentioning were also completely executed by Liu Moran.

In the collision of cards, the golden-card Liu Moran directly killed the flood serpent, leaving not a single piece of armor behind.

And the next second.

To avoid the momentum from continuing to expand and to prevent the remaining Demon Race in Duanlong City from exposing the location of Niankong Villa.

Liu Moran not only killed these scum who came to attack, but even that very night, she took her subordinates and wiped out the entire foundation left behind by the flood serpent in Duanlong City.

【Liu Moran destroyed Duanlong City and slaughtered all the Demon Race within Duanlong City.】

【Liu Moran rescued the Human Race that were being kept as livestock in Duanlong City, but to prevent them from leaking the news, she brought them all back to Niankong Villa.】

【Using a work-for-relief approach, she let them exchange for food in the villa in the name of building Niankong Villa.】

【This avoided Niankong Villa supporting idlers and also reinforced the defenses of Niankong Villa.】

There is an extra little junior sister in the wife's place.

The intensity has gone straight up.

This woman is absolutely a queen of palace intrigue.

Gu Jiangming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; she strikes hard externally, her methods are truly too ruthless.
