Chapter 98

Seeing Ye Qingran's expression somewhat strange, Ye Sisi couldn't help but frown. However, after thinking, Ye Qingran probably can't accept this fact, so she looks like she ate feces.

"You're this confident, you can beat me?" Ye Qingran couldn't understand where Ye Sisi's confidence came from.

"What do you say?" Ye Sisi raised her eyebrows proudly, confidence brimming in her brows and eyes, as if victory was already in hand.

Thus, Ye Qingran raised her voice and declared: "Ye Sisi, since you're so confident, let's make a bet. If you lose, I'll tell you a secret; if you win, I won't say anything. What do you think?"

Upon saying that, everyone was completely bewildered.

What is this all about?

Ye Qingran was eagerly anticipating; if Ye Sisi found out she had consumed a bottle of Tiger King Pill, whose ingredients were 100% feces, she wondered what her reaction would be.

Naturally, Ye Sisi didn't know about Ye Qingran's little thoughts.

She smirked contemptuously: "Ye Qingran, I'm not interested in your secret! However, considering this is the last time you'll ever stand before me in your life, I'll agree to your request."

Her tone was condescending, as if she thought Ye Qingran would, after a few days, not even have the qualification to stand before her.

Thinking about the plan they had arranged for today, Ye Sisi couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Ye Qingran is certain to lose; after today, she will not only suffer defeat and disgrace, but also be infamous for eternity, becoming the laughingstock of Xiliang City!

As for her child, they will be left corpse in the wilderness!

"Huanhuan, does Sisi have no problem facing Ye Qingran in battle?" Zhao Yan tugged at Ye Huanhuan's sleeve and asked softly.

A dark glint swiftly flashed across the depths of her eyes.

Actually, rather than seeing Ye Qingran lose in utter defeat, she hoped to see both sisters suffer mutual destruction!

At that night banquet at the Ye Residence, she accidentally ended up in a compromising situation with the Seventh Prince, after which she fell for him; her father Zhao Tian and mother Wang Yan also strongly agreed to her marriage with the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince is the Crown Prince's younger brother; once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Dongfang Xuan, as his younger brother, will surely be enfeoffed as a prince. If she becomes the Seventh Prince's consort, her status will only rise even higher.

However, Dongfang Xuan and Ye Sisi have a good relationship, and with the added status of the Prime Minister's residence, the bond between the Seventh Prince and Ye Sisi is very solid—this is what she least wants to see.

Ye Huanhuan turned her head, glanced at Dongfang Qingxuan, saw he wasn't focusing his attention on the Xuanwu Platform, and lowered her voice to Zhao Yan: "No problem, Sisi has already reached the Xuanwang realm! Ye Qingran is merely a worthless waste without a spiritual root—how could she be a match for Sisi?"

This news made Zhao Yan's body stiffen.

Ye Sisi has already advanced to the Xuanwang realm?

This news is something she does not want to hear!

Nevertheless, she suppressed her emotions, forced an excited smile, and said: "Really? That's wonderful!"

After Ye Huanhuan's gaze shifted away, her face suddenly darkened.

Ye Qingran, considering you lack a spiritual root, you make the first move!

Ye Sisi spoke with extreme contempt and arrogance, not even deigning to look at Ye Qingran. In her view, Ye Qingran being able to stand on the Xuanwu Platform as her opponent is already a great honor!

Upon hearing that, Ye Qingran hastily waved her hands.

No, I'm afraid if I strike first, you won't even get a chance to act!

Everyone: "......"

This...

Many people below hearing this sentence all felt embarrassed!

Good heavens, where does Ye Qingran get her confidence from?

Not far away, Fu San Yi heard it and burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty, Miss Ye is truly interesting; if she became the mistress of our Zhu Lu Zhi Dian, that would be quite good."

Fu Hanxiu glanced at Fu San; it was rare that he didn't say anything else, and the slight twitch of the corner of his mouth revealed his thoughts.

The mistress of Zhu Lu Zhi Dian?

That's actually not a bad idea!

But, I don't know if she's willing.

Fu San turned his head away, covering his mouth as he chuckled secretly.

Ye Sisi's face darkened, her eyes shooting like lightning toward Ye Qingran: "Ye Qingran, you're speaking nonsense!"

On the Xuanwu Platform, Ye Sisi's aura radiated outward; the Xuanwang's qi was not concealed at all, and the strong wind spread like ripples in water in all directions.

"Xuanwang! Ye Sisi is actually a Xuanwang!"

"Ye Sisi, at such a young age, has already entered the Xuanwang realm! Truly a genius!"

"Yes, although not as good as Ye Huanhuan, this talent is still top-notch in Xiliang City!"

……

The crowd was quite surprised, not expecting Ye Sisi's strength to be this high.

Feeling the surprised gazes of the crowd and hearing their excited discussions all around, Ye Sisi's heart blossomed with joy, she lifted her chin slightly, proud as a peacock.

She is young, breaking through to the Xuanwang realm, absolutely qualifies as a genius!

"Ye Qingran, what about your strength? Show it to everyone!"

Ye Sisi shouted.

With her brilliance preceding her, Ye Qingran will only be dimmed by her radiance, lacking any luster!

"Is that important?" Ye Qingran asked flatly.

"What do you say? Without strength, what qualifies you to compare with me?" Ye Sisi shouted arrogantly.

"If that's the case, then let me show you my true strength!"

Ye Sisi was startled, taken aback by Ye Qingran's sudden burst of aura.

Alarm bells rang in her mind, and she couldn't help wondering if Ye Qingran had been hiding her strength all along.

As soon as that thought arose, she immediately panicked, the tension visible on her face.

The crowd's thoughts matched Ye Sisi's, speculating whether Ye Qingran might actually be a hidden expert.

But when they felt the aura of Ye Qingran's erupting strength, they all scoffed.

They still thought Ye Qingran was incredibly powerful, but it turned out she was merely a Mystic Master, a low-grade Mystic Master!

"Tch, a mere low-grade Mystic Master, what does she have to compare with Ye Sisi?"

"Exactly, the rank difference is huge—low-grade Mystic King versus low-grade Mystic Master, a whole level apart!"

"I thought Ye Qingran had some skill! Turns out her cultivation level is so low!"

……

Everyone was extremely disappointed with Ye Qingran's cultivation level, but considering she doesn't even have a Spiritual Root, it's only natural that her level is so low.

"Hahaha, Ye Qingran, is this your strength?"

Upon learning that Ye Qingran's level was merely a low-grade Mystic Master, Ye Sisi's last lingering worry vanished completely.

"A mere low-grade Mystic Master—how could she be a match for her Mystic King without external aid?"

"Ye Qingran, you're doomed to lose!"

When Ye Huanhuan turned her head to look at Dongfang Qingxuan, she saw him gazing intently at Ye Qingran, and her face instantly fell.

Ye Qingran's beauty is supreme; she could be called the First Beauty of Xiliang City—perhaps the Crown Prince was attracted by her appearance?

Ye Huanhuan's hand at her side clenched tightly into a fist.

She also glanced at Ye Qingran, seeing that she was indeed stunningly beautiful, and jealousy flared in her heart.

But upon thinking that Ye Sisi had told her she would ruin Ye Qingran's appearance during the match, her angry feelings were somewhat soothed.

"Qing Xuan brother, who do you think will come out on top—Qingran or Sisi?"

Dongfang Qingxuan withdrew his gaze to look at Ye Huanhuan, his brows slightly furrowed, after a moment's thought he said, "Sisi."

However, though he said that, the image of her graceful figure lingered in his mind; her calm expression and the aloof arrogance in her eyes left a deep impression.

Ye Huanhuan nodded and agreed, saying, "I think so too."

"Although Qingran is better-looking than Sisi, Sisi has greater talent, so they're fairly matched—heaven really is fair."

Ye Huanhuan said with a hidden meaning.

Upon hearing that, Dongfang Qingxuan suddenly felt that even though Qingran's beauty was supreme, without cultivation talent she seemed to become a mere ornament, useless.

Dongfang Qingxuan extended a finger and traced it across Ye Huanhuan's delicate cheek, his voice hoarse: "Heaven isn't completely fair either. For example, you—beauty and talent coexist…"

Dongfang Qingxuan grew ever more convinced that his choice of Ye Huanhuan was correct.

Compared to Ye Sisi and Ye Qingran, Ye Huanhuan is even more perfect.

Ye Huanhuan felt a tingling sensation spread from her face, and she involuntarily lowered her head, her cheeks flushing.

In her slightly lowered eyes, a sparkle flashed and vanished.
