Hong Qingyun revealed a gratified look in his face. Mingyue proved to be his favorite granddaughter, who was so much better than her disappointing father and brother, thought him.
“But, there’s one condition. I’d like to agree to the engagement after I win the imperial compet.i.tion.” Hong Qingyun made no objection to his granddaughter’s request. In his view, with her current strengths, Ming Yue’s victory to take the first place in the imperial compet.i.tion was as cut and dried as it seemed.
Hong Mingyue, however, thought the contrary.
Although Hong Mingyue remembered clearly the death of Ye Lingyue in the Star Cave together with the Demon Wolf, she always had an intuition that Ye Lingyue was actually alive.
Ye Lingyue may even return to Da Xia before the imperial compet.i.tion, she thought.
The woman was so dazzling holding the Spatical Piercing Bow. How could such a person die so easily?
Hong Mingyue never talked about this strange feeling with others of course.
As for Luo Song, he was more than ecstatic when he learned that Hong Mingyue was willing to marry him.
There remained only about two months till the imperial compet.i.tion in Da Xia took place.
Besides, the Hongs had just conducted a funeral and it was indeed inappropriate to hold a wedding ceremony so hastily.
Hence, Luo Song immediately decided to return to Three Lives Valley to tell his mother and his father who was still in seclusion about his engagement with Hong Mingyue. He also made a commitment to the Hongs that a month later, he would take Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill with him and make a personal visit to the Hongs to carry out the ritual of dowry presenting for marriage.
What happened in Da Xia had also been conveyed to Ye Lingyue through Feng Shen.
“Hong Mingyue should agree to marry a sc.u.m like Luo Song?” Ye Lingyue said after hearing Feng Shen’s words from Phoenix Edict as she just finished her daily practice and lied down on the stone bed with hands clasped behind her head.
Although Ye Lingyue despised Hong Mingyue, she had to admit that Hong Mingyue was an ambitious and insightful woman, and her talent far exceeded that of other descendants of the Hongs.
Such a person would actually gave in to the pressure of the family and marry Luo song, which was truly a pity.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingyue began to feel fortunate for herself for not being a descendant of the n.o.ble families, otherwise, chances were she would have already become a sacrifice of political marriage.
Hearing Ye Lingyue’s voice, Feng Shen said, “There’s no doubt that Luo Song is sc.u.m. But he is a sc.u.m with some sort of background. Now we can say that the Hongs and the Three Lives Valley match each other. I’ve heard that the Sky Armour Sect is looking for trouble for the Hongs. Now that the two are about to establish relations, the Sky Armour Sect will not act rashly.”
Through frequent communications through Phoenix Edict, Feng Shen had also acquired some bad habits of Ye Lingyue.
In the past, Feng Shen would never say a person was a “sc.u.m”.
“Hmm, the relation between the Hongs and the Three Lives Valley won’t last long”, Ye Lingyue thought of the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill she had tampered with.
If she had got it right, part of the reason why Hong Mingyue was willing to marry Luo Song was coveting the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill.
She could not wait to see Hong Qingyun’s face after taking the pill.
As thus, the Hongs must collapse. As for Hong Mingyue, she would not have any sympathy for her.
The days in Cave No.1 were boring. Thanks to Feng Shen"s constant efforts to tell her about what happened outside, Ye Lingyue would not feel so dull.
The two engrossed in talk for more than an hour, until Ye Lingyue gradually fell asleep.
“Feng Shen, I may not be able to contact you from tomorrow.”
Feng Shen was silent for a moment.
“Are you going to enter the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix?”
Ye Lingyue just lightly uttered a “Hmm”.
For the grotesque Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix in Cave No.1, Feng Shen had learned its origin from Ye Lingyue.
Earlier, after careful deliberation, Ye Lingyue decided to postpone taking pills.
She planned to take the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill directly after she had become further cultivated so that she could break through the Reincarnation Realm, and enter the Matrix.
If Hong Qingyun knew the pill he got by selling his grandchild was taken by Ye Lingyue free and easy, he would vomit blood in huge anger.
Ye had been practicing for a full month, and now she was only one month away from the imperial compet.i.tion. Ye Lingyue felt that her body had gained a lot of strength. It was about time to take the pill and make a breakthrough into the first level of Matrix .
At that time, Feng Shen also received an invitation from the Emperor Xia saying that after 10 days, Xia Houxin would be officially conferred the t.i.tle of Prince. The Fengs were already very busy. Thus, he planned to set out for Da Xia without further delay.
“I will wait for you in Da Xia”, Feng Shen said. Ye Lingyue did not answer, only breath sounds could be heard. Feng could not tell whether Ye Lingyue had heard his words or not.
Perhaps Ye Lingyue fell asleep because the tiring practice during the day. Feng Shen had encountered similar situations several times.
With the Phoenix Edict put on his chest, Feng Shen slept peacefully accompanied by Ye’s breathe.
On the 31st day of entering the Cave No.1, Ye Lingyue made an attempt to crash into the Matrix.
The Cave No.1 of the Star Cave, though secluded, was full of Yuan energy, even as plentiful as Ye’s level-three Red Mist Sky. On top of that, the red fruits on the Matrix’s tree contained mysterious force. Practicing here for one day was as good as several months outside.
Ye Lingyue could feel that in the past month, the chaotic Yuan force in her body had more than doubled.
If according to the normal Yuan Dan Realm, she had reached late-stage Yuan Dan Realm in her cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, absorbing the Yuan force in the cave, Ye Lingyue swallowed the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill.
Made of eight different kinds of herbs, the pill was powerful with its potency equivalent to ninty-nine ordinary Reincarnation Dan pill.
As soon as the pill had reached to her abdomen, Ye Lingyue felt her body trembled.
The blood in her whole body seemed to be boiling instantly and somersaulting outrageously.
Every muscle and bone of her whole being was clamoring. In Cave No.1, Yuan energy was frantically rus.h.i.+ng towards the abdomen and body of Ye Lingyue.
The Reincarnation Dan pill’s powerful efficacy was like a whirlpool swallowing all the Yuan forces around Ye and infusing them into her body.

Sweat coursed down like a waterfall in a moment on Ye’s face. Her clothes were wet and her skin became a sickly red.
This great force made Ye Lingyue felt that her body was about to burn up. She could no longer bear it and jumped into the spring.
The cool spring water gave her a momentary relief.
“Cold. I am so cold.”
She was seized by a cold s.h.i.+ver after the manic heat.
The chill, emanated from her body, making the originally boiling blood suddenly frozen in her blood vessels.
Ye Lingyue"s lips lost color, and the spring beneath her body also formed a thin layer of ice.
The unbearable sharp s.h.i.+ft between heat and cold rendered Ye Lingyue a pain in the living death.
She tossed and turned for a whole day until she was unable to stand and slumped down on the ground, with barely one stroke of Yuan energy left in her body. She felt the trial was even more exhausting compared with her usual life-and-death struggle with enemies.
Finally, she lost the strength to lift her eyelids.
