CHAPTER 331: 0210 FRUIT EATER (TWO-IN-ONE)

In the room, Qinling was completely unaware of what she had done, handing over the letter intended for Xu Chang’an to give to Zhu Pingniang.

Xu Chang’an, with a dazed expression, was still thinking about the elixir. After all... the Strengthening Pill really was a good thing. With the remaining Spirit Stones and Contribution Points he had, he probably couldn’t afford even one, and the supplies Qinling gave... he hadn’t fully opened them yet, but conservatively estimated there were nearly twenty pills.

He had no doubt about Qinling’s words, and indeed Li Zhibai was a very good Pill Master. Whether it was good or not... Xu Chang’an just needed to take the elixir to Li Zhibai, and everything would be clear.

So...

At this moment, he really entertained the idea of letting Miss Yun take a few pills.

They were just some rouge, even if they had some special effects, but essentially... they weren’t different from the sheer gowns he bought for Yun Qian, which were meant only for his eyes.

The elixir would make the lady look better, sheer gowns would make the lady look better, and even the Jade Dew Wine could make the lady look better.

The elixir was something to enhance affection, something to be used around nightfall.

The sheer gowns were the same, worn by the lady on occasion.

The Jade Dew Wine was a bit less, but the saying "raise a cup and enjoy it" wasn’t just idle talk. Alcohol had always been a coded "signal" of restraint between him and Yun Qian.

Thinking like this, they’re all tempting objects, none nobler than the other.

So...

Seems feasible?

That’s a Strengthening Pill!!!

At this moment, Xu Chang’an seemed to smell the sweet, intoxicating fragrance of the Strengthening Pill, as if he could see Yun Qian successfully opening her Lower Elixir Field with the help of the Strengthening Pill.

"..."

At this moment, Xu Chang’an had no interest in considering whether Yun Qian’s reaction to taking the elixir would be appealing.

He... always had this little ambition, when it concerned Yun Qian, it was always like this.

——

Xu Chang’an lacked ambition.

As the saying goes, like father, like son...no, it’s hard to say who is the father here.

In general, his system had no ambition either. To put it simply, the system at this moment was like a cute little girl being cornered by an evil doer with a knife in a dark alley, trembling against a trash bin, watching the evil doer and could faint from fright at any time.

As for the one holding the knife, it wasn’t a two-hundred-pound brute nor a vicious ghoul, but a woman filled with love, with a good figure.

Cultivation... though only mid-level, somehow became an evildoer.

Through the ages, the sea of dust had covered too much history. In fact, in this world, there are countless "evil doers" who commit unspeakable acts, their deeds beyond words.

There are fools who, to ascend with the sect, act recklessly.

There are rebellious zealots who slay immortal gods.

There are greedy ones who burn mountains and boil seas, exhausting Spiritual Qi to refine elixirs.

There are tyrants who wish to directly exterminate non-human tribes.

There are unnamed ones who attempt to move stars, reverse life and death, stepping over the rules.

Given the endlessly long river of known time, these evil doers are countless. They present themselves in various manners, with different purposes, their methods having distinct differences, yet they share one commonality: their evildoing cannot be described in words.

And all of them have reached the pinnacle of cultivation... But is that where evil ends?

The truth is, it is not so.

The definition of evil has many forms, but if Miss Yun were considered evil, then Qinling, who stood opposite her and egged Xu Chang’an to give Yun Qian indecent pills, was undoubtedly a good person.

Evil, at its essence, is a matter of opposing stances.

In the eyes of the Supreme Principle of Heaven and Earth and the Impermanence Dao, Qinling was by no means a good person; she was the most terrifying and evil existence under heaven. Just the thought was enough for the entire world to be shattered by Thunder Tribulation.

What kind of evil doer must imagine such a terrifying thought as having Xu Chang’an give Yun Qian indecent pills?

At this moment, Qinling, with her willow-like figure, surpassed those abyss-like evil doers above.

If there is a "abyss" in the world, then Qinling became the "abyss" itself, her instigation was the darkest and most evil act throughout history, a deed that made even gods tremble.

After all, whether slaying gods or subjugating kingdoms for ages, even combined with evil cultivators refining mountains and rivers, in the eyes of heaven and earth, they were still mere "child’s play," their enemies of low stature.

And Qinling stood against all creation.

Facts prove, the magnitude of evil one can commit depends entirely on the human heart, unrelated to their strength.

Even being called "Aunt" by Yun Qian and loved and respected by Xu Chang’an, indulged in immunity from fear, just the thought alone made her an enemy of all creation. Nonetheless, above the Chaoyun Sect, over unknown thousands of miles, golden lightning formed a tribulation, seemingly ready to strike Qinling at any moment.

No choice, for Xu Chang’an was truly swayed.

He was convinced by Qinling, viewing these lovely objects simply as ordinary rouge.

As time passed like a river, moonlight cleared layers of snow clouds, illuminating the ground where stagnant water sparkled with unsettling brilliance.

There’s hardly anything more disconcerting than watching events unfold gradually.

All creation can only swallow their fear, forced to become a quiet observer.

——

Outside the window, no wind blew, the light rain paused, this bizarre scene could not escape Qinling’s eyes; she noticed it yet paid little mind.
