Before Chu Liuyue could react, the puppet in front of her approached her again! It swept its long legs and directly kicked at Chu Liuyue!
The cold wind attacked them, and Chu Liuyue immediately avoided it!
However, the other party was faster—it directly kicked her waist!
Chu Liuyue staggered backward but still endured this pain. She took the chance to turn around, harshly grabbed its ankle, and hurled it.
Bam!
‘The tall and heavy puppet fell to the ground heavily! However, it didn’t know pain as it kicked toward Chu Liuyue without hesitation!
Chu Liuyue immediately retreated!
‘The puppet followed her closely!
Chu Liuyue was currently not its match and was being beaten and chased by it, so she could only use other small tricks to fight for some chances for herself.
‘The two of them struggled! From time to time, there were all sorts of impact sounds and falling noises.
Dugu Mobao stood at the side with his hands behind his back and watched quietly. There wasn’t much expression on his adorable face; only his eyes stared at the scene closely.
The current beating was to ensure that she wouldn’t be beaten up in the future and could still hit others.
It was a lie if he said his heart didn’t ache, but… This wasn’t the first time. He had to ensure that she broke through as soon as possible!
Four hours passed extremely slowly.
‘When Chu Liuyue finally had a chance and found the puppet’s loophole to restrict it forcefully, she was already covered in injuries.
Without thinking, one also knew that her body was covered with bruises. But luckily, Chu Liuyue could use her force, so her organs weren’t injured.
Dugu Mobao nodded and put away the puppet. ‘We’ll end here today.”
Chu Liuyue then sighed deeply. Her legs went soft, and she almost fell to the floor.
Dugu Mobao glanced at the sky. “Arrange your remaining time yourself.”
‘Then, he turned around to leave.
“Big Baby, where are you going?” asked Chu Liuyue.
Dugu Mobao stopped in his tracks. “Cultivate.”
Chu Liuyue never expected that she would hear this word from Dugu Mobao’s mouth!
He was extremely strong, and even 36 Respected Elder Ming and the rest couldn’t sense anything wrong with him.
“So you need to cultivate too?!” Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but gasp.
Dugu Mobao turned around to glance at her and seemed to be embarrassed. However, he was hesitant with his words and left even more quickly. Of course, I need to continue cultivating! If not, I’ll be stuck in this small body forever!
But he really couldn’t say such words to Chu Liuyue, so he directly left without saying anything.
Chu Liuyue rubbed her nose. Hm… Although Big Baby is strong, he’s clearly not completely carefree
She rested on the spot for a while and sat cross-legged, closing her eyes and arranging her aura. At the same time, she kept replaying the earlier scene of her fighting that puppet.
Because this kind of puppet couldn’t use Heaven and Earth Force, it had extremely great physical strength. No matter if it were its strength, agility, or other aspects, it was only stronger and not weaker than real cultivators of the same level. Its moves were also very harsh and precise.
Chu Liuyue recalled all the moves once and internalized them in detail. After internalizing it completely, she then widened her eyes.
It was already afternoon.
Chu Liuyue thought for a while and walked to the door.
Yan Qing was waiting. “Greetings, Princess Consort.”
Chu Liuyue asked, “Where are the people from Grotto-Heaven Cliff?”
Lin Tianfeng and the rest were still staying in their original accommodation.
Previously, Yan Qing had said that they could change to a better place, but Lin Tianfeng politely rejected it.
Lin Tianfeng knew very clearly that all the benefits they had received after coming to the Sky-Cloud Empire were due to Chu Liuyue.
She might not mind, but Lin Tianfeng didn’t think so. If it weren’t because Lin Zhifei’s body hadn’t fully recovered, they might have left a long time ago.
Lin Tianfeng’s only request was to see Chu Liuyue and ask her to treat Lin Zhifei. However, he wasn’t very confident.
Even though they had a decent relationship with Chu Liuyue before, she was currently the Sky-Cloud Empire’s Princess Consort. Her status was different from before. Hence, Lin Tianfeng was very uneasy as he kept glancing at the door from time to time, hoping to see that familiar figure again.
However, their behavior looked like a joke to the Cold Mountain Gully group that lived together with them.
“Hah! Master Lin, you’re super lucky this time!” Han Quan stood opposite him and spoke weirdly.
Lin Tianfeng ignored him.
Han Quan sneered. “We’re already packing our items and preparing to leave. What? Master Lin, are you not planning to leave? That’s true. You finally managed to find a strong backer. If it were me, I wouldn’t bear to leave!”
Han Quan spoke sourly. It was impossible if one said that he wasn’t envious of Lin Tianfeng and the rest.
Originally, Grotto-Heaven Cliff was even weaker than their Cold Mountain Gully. But because they coincidentally met Shangguan Yue, their current situation was completely different now!
Even though Shangguan Yue’s princess consort position was very contentious, she was still an existence they could only hope for!
Who wouldn’t be jealous of Grotto-Heaven Cliff having such a strong backing?
“But in my eyes, she’s already the princess consort. Why would she still bother with you? Master Lin, do you really want to stick around here?”
Lin Tianfeng knitted his brows tightly. “It has nothing to do with you.”
“Pfft.” Han Quan crossed his arms and coldly laughed. “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Shangguan Yue is currently in the limelight, but she stole the princess consort position of Fairy Water Mound’s Big Missy Jiang. They won’t take this lying down. Even if they can’t do anything to Shangguan Yue
now, do you think they can’t use the people around her to reduce their anger? You—”
“can’t believe Master Han knows so much about the Sky-Cloud Empire.” A clear voice sounded.
Han Quan was stunned, while Lin Tianfeng looked elated.
“Du—Greetings, Princess Consort!” Seeing the incoming person, Lin Tianfeng immediately reacted and bowed respectfully.
Chu Liuyue gestured for him to get up. “Master Lin, you don’t have to be polite. I came here to treat Fourth Young Master Lin. I had to deal with some issues previously, so I was delayed for a while.”
Lin Tianfeng was so emotional that he didn’t know what to say. “Thank you for remembering, Princess Consort! Zhifei is right inside. Please—”
Chu Liuyue nodded lightly and glanced from the corner of her eyes. “Yan Qing, since Master Han has so many opinions, why don’t we let them stay here for a few days more? When His Highness is free, we can invite him over to listen to his advice.”
“Yes!”
Han Quan’s face flashed white. He was about to explain, but Chu Liuyue completely disregarded him and left with Lin Tianfeng.
On the other end, Rong Xiu came out from the study and went straight to the bedroom. However, Chu Liuyue wasn’t around.
“Where is the princess consort?” asked Rong Xiu.
Yu Mo lowered his head. “Princess Consort went to treat Fourth Young Master Lin.”
Rong Xiu raised his brows. I kind of miss the days when I was weak and sickly..
