Chapter 69: The Princess Leaves Tai’an City! Zhao Qingmeng’s Ultimate Move
The Spring Breeze Powder: upon consumption, one’s rationality is lost, and desires surge uncontrollably.
Even a monk wouldn’t be able to maintain his vows, so Lin Qi’an definitely wouldn’t be able to resist! Once he consumes it, she can sneak into his room, and everything will be accomplished.
“I refuse!” Su Xueni shook her head. “I won’t give the Crown Prince something suspicious like this.”
“Are you stupid? Following him will get you nothing, but with me, your future is limitless!” Zhao Qingmeng glared at her.
“No way, unless the princess tries it first,” Su Xueni smirked.
“You! Fine, I’ll eat it. I will personally prove this medicine is harmless,” Zhao Qingmeng took a deep breath, used her finger to scoop a bit of the powder, and put it in her mouth.
‘This small amount shouldn’t have too strong an effect, right?’
But as soon as she consumed it, she immediately felt a surge of heat exploding within her body, causing her temperature to rise.
Her face instantly became rosy and charming. “Your Highness, Xueni bids you farewell.”
“You??”
“I only said for Your Highness to try it, not that I would help you.” With that, Su Xueni hurriedly left.
‘Whether you are the Empress or not, if the Crown Prince doesn’t favor me, will he favor you?’
“Damn it, damn it!” Zhao Qingmeng collapsed onto the bed, looking extremely alluring.
As the Empress, being toyed with by a mere maid was indeed like a tiger being bullied by a dog. Her breathing was heavy, and her eyes were filled with lust. She had no choice but to hold the bedding tightly, her legs clamping together.
In her mind, she thought of Lin Qi’an. Even if she hated him, he was still the only man she had ever been in contact with, and the most handsome at that. Thinking of him was the only way to alleviate her immediate crisis!

Night fell on the Tai’an Imperial City.
Boom!
A beam of lightning shot into the sky, attracting countless eyes.
“The princess has broken through again!”
“With this breakthrough, she is probably at the Ninth Stage of the Transcendent Realm. The next step is the Celestial Realm.!”
“My God, her cultivation speed is terrifying. No wonder she possesses the Supreme Yin Divine Physique.”
“The Heavenly Five Thunder Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. The princess indeed has extraordinary talent, a peerless genius.”
“Speaking of which, her fiancé, the Crown Prince of Beiyang, seems to be only in the Heaven Dominion Realm, right?”
“Yes, they are about the same age, but he is a whole realm lower! Compared to the princess, he is still lacking…”
“Wait, don’t you know the Crown Prince’s battle achievements? He single-handedly suppressed dozens of prodigies. It’s been all the rage recently!”
“Who knows if it’s true? I think it’s mostly rumors.”
Zhao Yunji slowly opened her eyes, the dark golden light in her pupils gradually fading. This was the top-tier divine ability “Autumn Water Clear Eyes,” capable of seeing through everything!
“It’s about time to go to Beiyang and break off the engagement.” She muttered to herself.
She was extremely displeased with the marriage arranged by the Tai’an Emperor. She believed her life should not be controlled by others! Moreover, with her extraordinary talent, why must she marry a man and not pursue the Dao wholeheartedly?
Zhao Yunji had great ambitions! Becoming the Empress of the Canglan Dao Domain was no longer enough to satisfy her.
She wanted to conquer the other Dao Domains and achieve unification in the future! Therefore, becoming stronger was the most important thing.
Originally, she didn’t want to bother with the Crown Prince of Beiyang, but today, the constant news of him gathering many Saintesses was really annoying. He dared not come to the Tai’an Imperial City to see her but went around looking for maids, making her feel quite humiliated as his nominal fiancée.
This trip to Beiyang would be to end this foolish engagement. The next day, when she was about to set off, she received shocking news. Her younger sister, Zhao Qingmeng, had quietly gone to Beiyang a few days ago, seemingly only asking for permission from their father without informing anyone else.
Wait, what is she doing in Beiyang? Could she be out for fun?
“Lin Qi’an of Beiyang, ha! I’ve been waiting for this day for too long.” Zhao Yunji sneered, “This trip to Beiyang, I will definitely trample you underfoot and humiliate you!”
“Set off!”
A white jade carriage rose into the air. Princess Zhao Yunji of Tai’an officially set off for Beiyang.
If Lin Qi’an were here, he would discover that the captain of the silver-armored guards was another sworn enemy with hostility at 100%.
Two great children of luck, along with a reborn Empress, were all gathering on Beiyang. This is going to be a significant event!
—
“The princess has left Tai’an City! They say she’s heading to Beiyang!”
“Which princess?”
“Who else? The number one fairy of the Canglan Dao Domain!”
“Damn, isn’t she the Crown Prince of Beiyang’s fiancée? I heard they’ve never met. What’s she going to do there?”
“I heard she’s going to break off the engagement!”
“Break off the engagement? The Crown Prince will lose face completely.”
“What a pity. Being rejected by such a fairy, I’d rather die!”
“Dream on, do you think you’d ever get the chance?”
The commotion caused by Zhao Yunji’s departure was immense. Who wouldn’t love to hear gossip about the number one goddess? In no time, everyone in the Canglan Dao Domain knew about it.
The most crucial point was that the Crown Prince had also been making waves recently with exaggerated battle achievements. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the sparks that would fly when the princess and the Crown Prince met.
In the Tai’an Imperial City, the Empress was muttering about this matter: “It’s fine for Ji’er to go to Beiyang, but why did Meng’er go too? I heard you allowed it.”
The Tai’an Emperor took a sip of tea and replied, “She said the world is vast and she wants to see it.”
“Seeing it is fine, but why must she go to Beiyang?”
“I don’t know.”
“Also, since Jier is going to break off the engagement, won’t it cause trouble for Beiyang?” The Empress expressed her concern.
“Don’t worry, the youngsters should handle their matters themselves.” The Tai’an Emperor did not intervene in the matter of his son-in-law gathering women. It was a matter of ability, and he would not wage a war with Beiyang over such trivial matters.
A Great Emperor should not have such a narrow perspective. Moreover, three thousand years ago, the Sword Emperor defeated him with one hand. Three thousand years later, he dared not test the opponent’s current strength!
At the same time, in Tianjian City, Mu Qingzhu was also discussing the matter. Women are indeed similar in these ways.
“Breaking off the engagement? Are they going too far? Do they think Qi’an cares about that princess?”
“Sigh, we shouldn’t interfere in the affairs of the younger generation.” The Sword Emperor laughed heartily, “Trust my son. Whatever he wants, he will get! Whatever he doesn’t want, no one can force on him.”
“You two are so alike!”
—
On the balcony, the air was fresh, the curtains were lightly swaying, and the sun was shining brightly. In such good weather, naturally, Lin Qi’an was lying on Su Xueni’s lap enjoying life.
“Your Highness, I heard your fiancée is coming to Beiyang! She’s coming to break off the engagement!” Su Xueni brought up the topic naturally.
“So what? Let her come. Do you think I’m afraid of her?”
“Xueni means… thanks to your help, my Cold Jade Physique is about to be perfected. By then…” Su Xueni hesitated.
“Oh, you mean dual cultivation?”
She blushed and nodded.
“No problem, we’ll proceed as planned. I never go back on my word. If she comes, let her watch us cultivate together. Wouldn’t that be more thrilling?”
Lin Qi’an held the delicate wrist of the Tianchi Saintess, smiling playfully.
“Your Highness, you’re so naughty…” Though she said he was naughty, her heart was filled with joy.
—
Among everyone, the one most affected by the news of Zhao Yunji coming was Zhao Qingmeng!
“It’s over, it’s all over.”
Her original plan was to arrive in Beiyang ahead of time, create a time difference, and have Lin Qi’an all to herself. But unexpectedly, Lin Qi’an didn’t take the bait, and his maids were all loyal and couldn’t be swayed.
‘If the imperial sister really comes, the plan won’t be able to proceed at all! How long will it take for me to become the emperor then?’
‘This weak and powerless body cannot cultivate without dual cultivation to open the spiritual aperture… Lin Qi’an, I hate you so much!’
At this moment, she recalled the scene of being isolated and helpless. Until death, she never saw that heartless man!
In the end, she had no choice but to hang herself, dying and dissipating into nothingness. So after her rebirth, she wanted to kill him to vent her anger.
‘Wait, that heartless man in the previous life was not a wooden block; he knew all sorts of strange positions.’
‘It seems I have no choice but to use my ultimate move! I remember what he likes the most…’ Zhao Qingmeng revealed her tender, jade-like feet, her cheeks tinged with a rosy hue.
…
That night, Lin Qi’an received a message from Zhao Qingmeng asking him to come.
【Zhao Qingmeng, Hatred Value: 45】
‘Sigh, has this woman not given up yet? Aren’t you just greedy for my body and want to use me to ascend to the emperor’s path again? It’s impossible for the hatred value to drop to 0.’
‘Besides, I already promised Su Xueni that I would dual cultivate with her in a few days. There’s no way I can let you cut in line, give up.’
However, Lin Qi’an still went to her sleeping quarters to see what tricks she had up her sleeve. He pushed the door open, and a fragrant scent wafted into his nose.
The sleeping quarters were quite dim, with only two red candles lit by the soft couch, the flickering light illuminating Zhao Qingmeng’s enchanting face.
She was wearing a thin white silk robe, huddled in the quilt, looking pitiful.
“Qingmeng sister, what do you want from me?”
“Brother Lin…” The quilt moved slightly, suddenly revealing a pair of crystal-clear, delicate feet.
Smooth and tender, making Lin Qi’an’s heart skip a beat.
“My feet are a bit sore, could you rub them for me?”
“…”
At the same time, Lin Qi’an heard her inner voice.
【Heartless man, this is your favorite thing, I’m sure you’ll take the bait】
‘What? In the future, I actually liked this about her the most! But it makes sense. Compared to Su Xueni’s legs, she can’t compete.’
‘Compared to Zi Lianyou’s chest, she can’t compete. Compared to Ran Yuwei’s waist, she can’t compete. But these feet, like works of art, have great playability! Tsk, I didn’t expect you to even know my future preferences.’
