Chapter 240: The Queen Mother's Shock

"Because I am the Queen Mother."

Yaochi smiled radiantly.

Queen Mother Sanniang!

Ao Ling's breath stagnated, her body went slightly limp, and her heart pounded thump-thump.

She didn't expect that this good-looking older sister before her was actually the Queen Mother Sanniang? Ao Ling's face turned a bit pale; this was still the first time she had seen someone of such exalted status.

Looking at his own disciple's frightened appearance, Chen Nuo expressed understanding.

Unlike meeting him, the reputation of Queen Mother Yaochi in the Three Realms can be said to be known to everyone.

Through subtle transformation, the influence Ao Ling received was also extremely great.

Even her Father King worked part-time under her; let alone her.

Compared to the Monkey's disposition, Ao Ling still fell short by quite a bit; after all, the Monkey is equivalent to a blank sheet of paper — whatever he draws on top, appears on top.

Ao Ling is different; in the Dragon Palace, she lived a princess life for who knows how many hundreds of years, and knows quite a lot of things.

Character and such were already pretty much set long ago; although coming here she didn't have clothes handed to her and meals served to her, one could still tell Ao Ling was somewhat lazy; for this kind, he could only erase all the places originally scribbled messily and repaint anew.

"I pay, pay respects to Sanniang."

Ao Ling came to her senses and hurriedly tried to kneel and bow, so anxious she nearly cried.

Father King had told her since childhood that the Heavenly Court uses dragons to pull carriages; sometimes when she made mistakes, he often used this to scare her.

Now she actually really encountered it; she didn't want to be punished to pull a carriage because she offended the Queen Mother.

"Am I that scary?" Yaochi burst out laughing.

Bare hand raised slightly, and Ao Ling's knees could not move; shaking her head helplessly, Yaochi opened her mouth to say: "Younger Sister is Shopkeeper Chen's disciple; between you and me there is no need for excessive courtesy."

However, the effect of this sentence didn't seem particularly useful.

Yaochi had a flash of inspiration and used the Divine Communication she just awakened: Boundless Thousand Faces!

Immediately, Yaochi revealed an extremely gentle smile and said softly: "Don't be afraid."

The voice was pleasant to hear, and the smile in Ao Ling's eyes seemed even more like it had magic power.

Yaochi no longer had the previous noble demeanor; replacing it was affinity; the panic in Ao Ling's heart began to dissipate like clouds.

Even more absurd was that Ao Ling actually gave rise to a feeling of wanting to get close to Yaochi.

"Okay."

She said it as if possessed by a ghost.

Done.

Yaochi felt inner joy, but her face remained just as gentle, not revealing the slightest flaw.

Looking at Ao Ling whose heart and mind she had already inadvertently captured, Yaochi then continuously changed many expressions — joy, anger, sorrow, joy.

Yet the surface still didn't change a single bit, yet it was also extremely natural, without the slightest trace of deliberate awkwardness.

This effect — absolutely amazing!

Yaochi was overjoyed beyond expectation; she knew the ability might be very good, but didn't expect it to be this good.

Her own original expression was fundamentally unrestrained, similar to adding a layer of illusion on the face, yet it was the most real; even Divine Communication that can see through falsehood could not take effect.

"Let's become sisters, how about it?"

Yaochi spoke to Ao Ling again, carrying a soul-stirring implication.

Ao Ling had already been completely drawn in; following Yaochi's words she said: "Okay."

"Come over."

Ao Ling stepped step by step to Yaochi's front, extremely obedient, her face even showing a trace of enthrallment.

Yaochi lightly took Ao Ling's fair tender little hand and pulled her to the seat at the side.

Ao Ling had not the slightest thought of resistance, extremely compliant following Yaochi.

Seeing this scene before him, Chen Nuo's brow lifted — this Divine Communication seems to have a hundred-million-fold strength!

It appears the lower the cultivation, the greater the influence received.

Ao Ling right now is only at Initial Golden Immortal cultivation; facing Prepared Saint Yaochi, she fundamentally doesn't have the slightest power to fight back.

"Call me once 'Older Sister'."

Yaochi smiled lightly, the affinity on her face even more.

Ao Ling had long been unable to extricate herself; obediently she called out: "Older Sister."

Chen Nuo rubbed his brow center, really finding it a bit unbearable to watch, headache saying: "Retract the Divine Communication; she's not smart to begin with, playing a while longer will ruin her."

"Apologies."

Yaochi nodded apologetically, instantly retracted the Divine Communication, and returned to her original expression.

Her momentary whim just now can already be called discourteous.

Looking at Chen Nuo's face, Yaochi breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately Shopkeeper Chen didn't have any intention of blaming her.

Ao Ling without the Divine Communication drawing her was dazed, a face full of imperial reluctance.

Looking at Ao Ling this appearance,

Yaochi couldn't help but worry a bit — could this Divine Communication have some side effect that makes people become stupid!

If Shopkeeper Chen blames her it would be terrible!

Thinking to here, Yaochi hurriedly reached out and waved her hand before Ao Ling's eyes.

Ao Ling's body unconsciously shrank back, she came to her senses, and upon seeing Yaochi beside her, her whole person stiffened even more.

Breath stagnated, she stood up as if electrocuted.

Ao Ling just wanted to apologize.

"Younger Sister, so distant?"

Yaochi smiled slightly and said, "Could it be that you forgot you just affectionately called me sister?"

Ao Ling: "..."

Upon being reminded, Ao Ling also came to her senses—just now, why did she say such a thing?

Ao Ling was utterly puzzled in her heart; clearly it was genuine, yet the action didn't feel like something she would do—just now, what on earth happened? Looking at Yaochi's beaming smile, for some unknown reason, Ao Ling felt a flicker of heart palpitations.

Chen Nuo waved his hand, signaling Ao Ling to retreat.

Ao Ling felt as if pardoned, and fled back to the back kitchen as if escaping.

"Really can't help teasing"

Yaochi's brows and eyes curved, carrying a smile.

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes: "You, a Quasi-Sage cultivator, use divine powers to intimidate a little girl—is that alright?"

This is not good.

"Boss, do you know I was just using divine powers?"

Yaochi was somewhat startled.

"Isn't my divine power supposed to be very concealed? How did Boss Chen see through it? 'The divine power awakened from me—can it still be hidden from me?'"

Chen Nuo said lightly.

In Chaos Residence, he is invincibly powerful—nothing can hope to deceive his eyes.

"No wonder it's Boss Chen"

Yaochi gave an embarrassed smile; fortunately, she hadn't swollen with pride to test her skills on Boss Chen.

Lowering her head, gazing at the Flying Dragon Soup still emitting lingering fragrance before her, the previously calmed shock was once again drawn in by the delicacy.

Her mouth watered.

Yaochi picked up her chopsticks and began to enjoy the deliciousness once more.

Having nearly finished the soup, Yaochi directly started eating the meat, her crimson thin lips stained with tempting oil sheen; with this divine power, Yaochi has completely let herself go.

What decorum? As long as it's delicious!

From now on, she will act freely as herself!

After finishing another piece of Flying Dragon Meat, Yaochi clicked her tongue, feeling a bit thirsty.

"Would you like something to drink?"

Chen Nuo spoke at the right moment.

Yaochi nodded repeatedly: "Drink"

"Peach Soda, Peach Juice, or Peach Blossom Brew?"

Chen Nuo asked softly.

Hearing Chen Nuo's words, Yaochi did not immediately reply, but instead her face showed bewilderment.

Did she mishear just now? Peach? "Boss Chen, the peach you mentioned refers to..."

Yaochi did not utter the latter part of her sentence, but upon mentioning peach, everyone knows what it refers to.

"Exactly what you're thinking"

Chen Nuo said leisurely.

How could that be?!

Yaochi's face was full of astonishment—aren't peaches only hers to have? This was personally transmitted by Dao Ancestor Lao Ye, and also personally spoken by Dao Ancestor Lao Ye—only one such exists in the Three Realms.

Others, even if they possess peach seeds, cannot cultivate them—peaches are her pride.
