There's Something Wrong With These Demonic Women!

Chapter 152: I Will Protect Him

chapter 152: i will protect him

su jingyi, who was lying on a reclining couch, displayed a charming and graceful demeanor. however, her face was filled with concern and a hint of worry. although she only sought the stability of the court and the peace of the world, without wanting to interfere in trivial matters, the current situation had ignited a spark of anger within her.

after a brief moment of contemplation, she called out softly, "xiao lu."

a maidservant quickly arrived from outside the hall, her steps hurried and her face anxious. she knelt before su jingyi with utmost respect and inquired, "master?"

"go and summon the crown princess and the second princess for me," su jingyi said calmly.

"yes!"ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

this maidservant named xiao lu, while serving in the palace, held privileges that others couldn't have. for instance, she could freely go anywhere within the palace. however, faced with such privileges, xiao lu dared not use them recklessly. the imperial palace held countless secrets, and any misstep could cost her life, even as su jingyi's personal maidservant.

soon, xiao lu arrived at the residence of the crown princess. instead of rushing inside, she had an attendant deliver the message first. after obtaining permission, she stepped into the hall.

"princess."

"master su has requested your presence," xiao lu knelt on the ground and respectfully conveyed the message.

"master su?" zhao yueyan was momentarily puzzled, her face showing a faint trace of doubt and fear. there was a time when zhao yueyan and zhao qiuyu had both been her students, and as their teacher, she had left an indelible scar on zhao yueyan. even after more than ten years, every time she saw her, it sent shivers down her spine.

"just me?" zhao yueyan asked in a hushed voice.

"and the second princess," xiao lu replied.

"oh."

hearing that her sister was going as well, zhao yueyan felt somewhat reassured. having someone accompany her made her less fearful.

zhao yueyan pursed her lips, slowly rising from the couch, and said gently, "let's go. i'll accompany you."

"alright." xiao lu replied.

subsequently, they arrived at zhao qiuyu's residence, and the two sisters set off for su jingyi's palace together.

"sister."

"why did master su summon us?" zhao qiuyu asked in a hushed voice.

"i don't know either," zhao yueyan shook her head. she then looked at xiao lu, who was leading the way, and asked softly, "xiao lu, do you know why master su summoned us?"

"your highnesses, xiao lu does not know. master su simply asked me to bring both of you to her," xiao lu replied.

unable to obtain the answers they sought, zhao yueyan and zhao qiuyu, these two sisters, had no choice but to follow xiao lu obediently. despite being princesses with numerous privileges, in the presence of su jingyi, they were just special ordinary people.

arriving outside su jingyi's palace, zhao yueyan and zhao qiuyu hesitated to enter. zhao yueyan gently nudged her sister and pleaded, "master su seems to favor you more. why don't you go in first, and i'll follow behind you?"

zhao qiuyu's gentle and charming face showed a hint of fear. she obediently said, "sister, you're a few years older than me. you should set an example and go in first."

"no, no. i defied master su when i was a child. i..." zhao yueyan hastily shook her head, biting her lip and casting a look of resistance, concern, and a trace of fear. she cautiously said, "it's better if you go. you've always been quiet and gentle; she likes you the most."

"i..."

"no, i..."

just as the two sisters argued over this matter endlessly, a voice suddenly echoed from inside the hall.

a gentle breeze brushed against her, lifting her jet-black hair and the elegant taoist robe, revealing a pair of snow-white calves. she looked like a heavenly fairy, untouched by worldly affairs, and not bound by the mundane.

suddenly, a silver streak appeared on the horizon and, in the blink of an eye, arrived behind her.

"it's rare for you to come looking for me," said immortal miao feng, dressed in a white gown that gracefully revealed her slender neck, with her ample bosom hidden beneath. even though it was entirely concealed, one could still discern her exquisite figure.

su jingyi gazed silently at the towering mountains in front of her, her lips slightly parted. she spoke softly, "i have a favor to ask of you."

"what is it?" immortal miao feng stood beside her, asking casually.

"could you help me kill the chief imperial alchemist by the emperor's side?" su jingyi said in a hushed tone.

"..."

"what did you say?" immortal miao feng thought she had misheard and quickly turned to look at her.

"kill the chief imperial alchemist," su jingyi said.

"why?" immortal miao feng asked calmly.

"the emperor is gravely ill now and on the brink of death. however, he is still greedy for worldly power, wanting to extend his life for another twenty years," su jingyi said softly. "the chief imperial alchemist came up with a plan to use his two closest relatives as catalysts to create an elixir of longevity."

"two closest relatives."

"is it the emperor's two daughters?" immortal miao feng frowned. "using living people as catalysts has a basis; it is said to activate one's potential through their bloodline, which can indeed extend one's life. usually, virgin daughters are used as catalysts, but it can only be used once, and the second time would have no effect."

su jingyi sighed, distressed, "yueyan and qiuyu, these two girls, i watched them grow up from a young age. when they were young, they studied with me, and it has been several years. they lost their mother at a young age, and i sometimes played the role of their mother, caring for them meticulously. although our relationship has faded now, hearing that they might be used as catalysts..."

"no need to say more," immortal miao feng said coldly. "i've long been disgusted with that alchemist. i refrained from taking action against him only because of your presence."

su jingyi pursed her lips and said with distress, "now, you probably can't kill him."

"why?" immortal miao feng asked in confusion.

"he has a strand of dragon energy on him," su jingyi replied. "with dragon energy protecting him, neither you nor i can harm him."

"this..." immortal miao feng said with a touch of annoyance, "then why did you ask me to kill him?"

"we can't do it, but someone else can," su jingyi turned her head and stared directly at her, saying earnestly, "if i'm not mistaken, your little lover should have a pure yang body, right?"

"are you jealous?" immortal miao feng raised an eyebrow, looking vigilant.

su jingyi huffed and casually said, "a pure yang body can ignore the dragon energy, which means your man can directly kill the chief imperial alchemist, including the emperor himself."

"i know," immortal miao feng said indifferently, "but i don't want my little thief to take this risk. his cultivation is not high, just at the late heaven realm. it's easy for him to encounter unforeseen dangers."

"i will protect him," su jingyi said.

immortal miao feng rolled her eyes. "does my lover need your protection? besides, how do i know if you're using the guise of protection to secretly seduce my little thief into your bed?"

saying this, she looked at su jingyi beside her with a cold smile; the elegant taoist robe, and the subtly visible round and shapely butt, she exuded the charm of a mature and captivating woman.

protect him?

i think you want to keep an eye on him for yourself!
