Lady Su's Revenge

Su Li murmured. Her lips trembled gently, and her bloodless face looked more haggard.

She sat down slowly and buried her face into her arms. So did her fragile feelings.

“Little Su Li, you...”

Black Lotus called her lightly, but his words were stuck in his throat. Because he did not know what to say.

He scratched his head because of his worry. Since Su Yuanhai talked about “the daughter of destiny”, he had known that it must be related to the unlucky “daughter of luck”.

He was afraid that Su Li probably couldn’t bear this news and might go crazy as before, so he didn’t mention that to her. He only wanted to tell her when Su Li became stronger later.

Unfortunately, changes always go beyond plans. It completely disrupted his plan that the Immortal Tea Plant was controlled.

It was quiet in the core space of the tea plant. Even a needle falling on the ground would be heard. Su Li held her knees in silence and no one could understand the light shining in her dark eyes.

She had thought a lot about her previous life. She once told herself that no matter how cruel the truth was, she would rather know it. Even if she regretted that, she wouldn’t be willing to live a muddleheaded life.

But now, she was really lost.

Bizhui told her that everything was fake.

The people and things in her previous life, along with her life, were just a plot arranged by others. And she was just the puppet manipulated by the people behind the curtain.

If the string that connected the puppet was cut off one day... would the puppet’s life come to an end?

“Who’s... that person?”

Su Li’s hoarse voice echoed in the space.

“I have no idea, but it must be someone at the top of Qingshui Circle. Otherwise, how could he take advantage of loopholes in natural law? In other words, someone with poor cultivation would have been killed by the backfire of the natural law, and you... wouldn’t have been born.”

After Black Lotus said this, Su Li stood up under the apprehensive gaze of Black Lotus. She re-straightened her back, took a deep breath, and... suddenly opened her eyes with a bright and frightening gaze.

“In other words, my biological parents and I are just pawns of others and had no dignity like human beings, aren’t we?”

She laughed with full of mockery, “I had vowed that I would not become anyone’s pawn after my rebirth. But it’s just a dream in the end. Traps over traps... I can’t escape from them. So, ... Black Lotus, tell me whether I am still a pawn or not? “

“Of course not!”

Black Lotus looked at Su Li who was smiling. But he knew it’s just the calm before a storm. Black Lotus could not help but shiver. He hastened to comfort her, “With my help, you’ll certainly seize the bastards that played with you. No one can flee!”

Su Li curled her lips slightly and covered all her fluctuating emotions, “I also think so.”

“Bizhui, do you know anything about someone named “Ling Li” during the Bloody Accident of Holy Spirit a thousand years ago?”

“No, I don’t. Only those famous people on the Tianjiao List left a great reputation back then and the rest were obliterated by time.”

A surprise flashed in Su Li’s eyes. Was Ling Li not on the Tianjiao List? Fang Yuan ranked second...

“Who was the first on the Tianjiao List back then?”

“It was a holy boy from a holy sect in the evil circle. He was known as Lord of Evil but his real name was unknown. He had been holding the first place on Tianjiao List for a thousand years until he was over two thousand years old.”

“Do you know his name?”

“No.”

“...”

Su Li asked a lot of questions, relevant or irrelevant, until no more questions came to her a few days later.

She was silent for a moment and flipped her hand. A mini cave appeared in her hand. It grew quickly in the core space until became a normal-size house.

Su Li waved her hand indifferently and the stone gate of the cave automatically opened. There was a deep pond with crystal clear water. In the water, all the petals of Tianyou Lotus were blooming with a faint fragrance.

“Bizhui, imbue me with all your enlightenment power!”

Once Su Li instructed, Bizhui immediately began to sway his branches and a breach emerged on the core of the tea plant. A large amount of fragrant enlightenment essence flowed out from the breach, then turned into water lines in the nothingness. And it was infused into Su Li’s body.

In the next instant, Su Li sensed more thoughts in her mind, like the experience that she refined the soul stone last time. But this time, it didn’t work on the secret soul practicing method, but... on Suiyu Tactics!

Black Lotus was so stunned when he saw this. An absurd thought flashed through his mind, “Little Su Li, are you trying to... forcibly break through the second level of Suiyu Tactics? Are you crazy?!”

What was Suiyu Tactics? It was the most precious treasure of Kuiyu Palace in ancient times. So, it was extremely hard to practice. He knew the difficulty Su Li had encountered when she practiced it and that she was still stuck in the first level.

This was not surprising at all. Even the disciples of Kuiyu Palace were stuck in the first level of Suiyu Tactics throughout their lives and could not get the true meaning of it.

But that had no impact on their practice. And a lot of people had become Mighty Practitioners in ancient times simply based on the first level of Suiyu Tactics.

Even those people could not break through its second level. How dare Su Li who was just in the Zhuji Realm dream of breaking through it?

She must be crazy!

“Time is almost over.”

Su Li said expressionlessly while her hands did not stop moving. After she picked up and broke up the petals of Tianyou Lotus with one hand, she continued to say, “Look at Bizhui.”

Black Lotus was stunned and looked at the pale old face that emerged on the core. After carefully sensing it, he changed his look immediately.

“The erosion... is getting deeper?”

“I can’t control the power in my blood.”

Su Li proceeded to refine the essence of Tianyou Lotus drop by drop. And then she stored them into a prepared jade bottle. While doing this, she said casually, “I eroded his mind, and the poison in my blood is still invading his vitality. Soon, Yuxu Sect will discover this, so I have to take actions before that!”

Black Lotus gasped and could not help but ask, “How much time do you have?”

“At most... ten years.”

“Ten years?!”

Black Lotus shrilled out of fright, “It’s too short! What can you do in ten years? It will take you several years to rest after you break through the peak stage of Zhuji Realm. After that, you will be more closely watched by the natural law so that you can’t fight at will. There are a lot of old monsters hidden in the twenty-five sects. Without the power of the peak stage of Huashen Realm, how can you get out safely.”

“So, I’m taking a gamble.”

Su Li picked up the jade bottle and shook it. Looking at the transparent liquid in the jade bottle, she showed a deep dim light in her eyes, “Dongfang Wuxue!”

“Yes, Master.”

A vague shadow floated out from the cave and stared at the remaining plant of Tianyou Lotus with a touch of longing in its eyes.

Su Li raised her eyes and said in a calm tone, “I have finished refining the cave and I can set you free at any time. Originally, I planned to find a physical body for you to walk in, but those many restrictions of walk-in have no benefit to your practice.”

“Master...”

Dongfang Wuxue was touched, and he already understood Su Li’s intention through her words. Tianyou Lotus, as a precious treasure, was the best container to breed a physical body. Everything was ready now, and only a little bit of vitality was needed.

“Bizhui.”

Su Li called with a low voice. The swaying roots behind Su Li immediately fell off and turned into turquoise powder with a strong vitality. Then it flew to wrap Dongfang Wuxue.

Meanwhile, Su Li reached out her hand and cut off the connection between Dongfang Wuxue and the cave with a grip. A hole opened automatically on Tianyou Lotus and it wrapped the vague shadow of Dongfang Wuxue. Then it became a turquoise cocoon.

Seeing that, Su Li waved her hand and sealed the cave. Then she concentrated on the second level of Suiyu Tactics immediately. She would like to see what made the tactics so special that was highly recommended by people throughout ages.

Black Lotus was dumbfounded and saw the arrangements she made. He could not help but swallow his saliva. This pathetic girl who he thought had been played by others all her lifetime became unfathomable for the first time.

“It turns out that her target was Bizhui all the way. Each step of her plan was connected with the other, and she had made use of Bizhui to the extreme. How shrewd... Did she begin to plot when she knew she could go to the main branch of the Su Family?”

Black Lotus suddenly trembled with fear.

“Would I end up like Bizhui one day, being used by Su Li and discarded like a piece of trash?”

Seeing Bizhui’s dumbfounded face, Black Lotus shivered.

“No, it won’t happen. I am a precious ancient treasure. How could Su Li, that little girl, hurt...”

Black Lotus’s voice became lower and lower. He looked at Su Li’s small face which was immersed in enlightenment, and his gaze became complicated.

“I hope... that day will never come.”

—

The sun shone brightly in the mountains.

Su Yang was lying on a tree branch with a grass-blade in his mouth. He looked at Su Mu who was practicing under the tree and boredom suddenly came to him. He puckered his mouth and said vaguely, “Blockhead, you have been practicing for two months. Don’t you ever get bored? In my opinion... could it be possible that Su Jiuzhou has died in Yuxu Sect? If so, we can...”

Before he finished his words, Su Yang suddenly changed his look slightly and rolled down from the tree.

The next moment ... crash!

The big tree was cut into two halves by a sword light. Yan Ziye walked slowly from the dust and smoke with a cold face, and he said with a cold tone, “One more bad word about the Master, no place in Ni Sect for you!”

Su Yang got up from the ground and cursed angrily, “Yan Ziye, you son of a bitch! Every time you attack me from my back. Do you have the guts to fight with me not using your sword skills?”

“You’ve been in Tianhe Sect for a thousand years, but you didn’t get advanced in your cultivation but getting cheekier.”

Yan Ziye snorted coldly. He turned his head to Su Mu who had made ice shavings everywhere, and frowned with no words.

Su Yang’s eyes turned red because of anger instantly. He said furiously, “Well, Yan Ziye, your nose is in the air after the trip to the Reincarnation Mirror! If it weren’t for your weird sword skill, how couldn’t I beat you?”

“The sword skill Master taught me is certainly extraordinary.”

When Yan Ziye heard Su Yang’s praise for the sword skill, he showed a trace of admiration in his eyes. That made Su Yang feel very disgusting. Su Yang wiped his sweat away and muttered, “Fine, I won’t bother myself with the soul-controlled people.”

Su Mu stopped casting his spells and looked at the two of them without any words. Then he continued. Ice shavings fluttered again in the air.
