My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

After setting down the bets, Lou Mu Yan casually swept the people who came up to surround them with her gaze.

“Are we going to compete here?” She looked at the golden-clothed and silver-clothed elderly men, asking indifferently.

The golden-clothed elderly man furrowed his brows subconsciously. When spiritual wine masters brewed spiritual wine, it was always very secretive, so he didn’t like it very much to brew it in front of so many people.

“Of course, it will be fairer to compete in front of so many cultivator friends—in case when the time comes, someone says we’re bullying the weak.” Although the silver-clothed elderly man didn’t like to brew wine in such an environment, but to expose Lou Mu Yan as a liar, he could only resist.

“Sure. Then the rules?” Lou Mu Yan continued to ask.

She was only interested in the stakes, as for the rest, she could let these two decide.

“Aren’t you capable of refining advanced-level grade 6 spiritual wine?” The silver-clothed elderly man asked.

Lou Mu Yan nodded: “Yeah!”

“The two of us are intermediate-level grade 6 spiritual wine masters. If you can really brew advanced-level grade 6 spiritual wine, you win.”

The silver-clothed elderly man paused, then said arrogantly: “Of course, in order to show fairness, the two of us will also brew spiritual wine to compete with you.”

“Sure. Then let’s start now.” Lou Mu Yan said leisurely.

It was more troublesome to brew advanced-level grade 6 spiritual wine than refine grade 6 pills, and would take a relatively longer time.

Because Old Man Tian Xuan was Lou Mu Yan’s Master, so he didn’t join the judges.

The judges were made up of the Grand Ancestors of the five Sects. When the competition was about to start, there was another fluctuation in the air.

“Haha, how about we join in the fun?”

After a powerful voice fell, everyone watched four elderly men appear.

Ming Xiu’s eyes flashed with thought—the Grand Elders of the Pill Tower, Smithing Pavilion, Array Alliance, and Tamers Pagoda also appeared.

Them suddenly appearing shouldn’t be so simple. It must be that the Hidden City was acting again.

“So it’s you four old things.” Old Man Tian Xuan said with a smile: “Since you’re here, why don’t you join the gamble and be judges.”

“Sure! This old man is very interested in this bet.” The Grand Elder of the Pill Tower said with a smile.

“Tian Xuan, even you’ve invited, we have no reason to refuse.” The Grand Elder of the Array Alliance also smiled and agreed.

The other two also nodded in agreement, so they sat beside the Grand Ancestors of the Six Sects to watch.

The two golden-clothed and silver-clothed men were naturally eager for more top powerhouses of the Continent to come, so as to not weaken the name of their Su Clan.

Su Jin’s elegant and handsome expression revealed a half-smile. These two old things were definitely going to be scammed to the end. The entire Su Clan’s face would probably be lost this time.

But why did he feel that bit happy in his heart.

Thinking of that so-called father and step-mother’s face changing, his mood was impeccably good.

If it weren’t for the relationship with his grandfather, he would be too lazy to be some Young Lord of the Stream Reflection Restaurant. This time, he might even be able to get rid of that energy-consuming but thankless status through what Junior Sister’s doing.

What kind of situation his ‘good little brother’ would bring to the Su Clan had nothing to do with him anymore afterwards.

Junior Sister said that his chronic illness would be able to be treated in two days, plus he had now advanced to Sword Deity. It gave birth to a hope of ascending to Guang’ling World. Naturally, he wouldn’t be so bored to waste energy to help run some family business.

“Let’s start.” The Grand Ancestor of the Heavenly Secret Palace said.

As soon as his voice fell, a square table appeared in front of the golden-clothed and silver-clothed elderly men and Lou Mu Yan, which was convenient for placing things.

The two immediately took out the materials for brewing intermediate-level grade 6 spiritual wine.

With a thought, many spiritual herbs and pots and jars also appeared on the table in front of Lou Mu Yan.

While they prepared, there were also whispers from other places.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a spiritual wine master brew spiritual wine. How can I tell what grade of spiritual wine it is when it’s finished? Isn’t there a need to ferment?” A Sword Deity from the Spirit Tamers Sect asked.

His words were also the questions in the hearts of many people present.

A Sword Deity beside him happened to be an Ancestor of the Medicine Sect and he explained: “Spiritual Wine Masters are different to the wine masters of the mortal world.

“The wine masters in the mortal world need to filtrate, distil, ferment in the cellar and other processes, but brewing spiritual wine doesn’t.

“You all know that spiritual wine masters not only need a talent for brewing wine, but also needed to be an alchemist. They must first refine the spiritual wine pills as the main ingredient for fermentation, add spiritual herbs or spiritual fruit, then finally add some spiritual spring and use flame to distil.

“Because of the effect of the wine pill, coupled with the distillation of the flame, the fermentation in the cellar can be omitted.

“Therefore, you can immediately tell the grade of the spiritual wine brewed.” The Ancestor of the Medicine Sect added, “Of course, the old saying ‘old wine is fragrant’ still applies. The brewed spiritual wine can be stored for a period of time for better taste and the spiritual herbs in the wine would have better effect.”

“So that’s how it is.” After listening to his explanation, others also revealed understanding.

“Then do you think that girl can really brew advanced-level grade 6 spiritual wine?” An Ancestor of the Vast Mountain Sect said with some doubt: “I think it should be difficult for her to reach such a level as a spiritual wine master at her age.”

The conditions for becoming a spiritual wine master were too harsh, so the scarcest on the entire continent were spiritual wine masters. He didn’t believe that Lou Mu Yan could become a grade 6 spiritual wine master at her age.

His words were also the inner voices of many people present. No one had ever heard of such a young spiritual wine master.

“That’s hard to say. The advanced-level grade 6 spiritual wine is indeed real.” The Ancestor of the Medicine Sect was uncertain.

Seeing that Lou Mu Yan had become a Sword Deity, and Gǔ Ning Meng, herself, had only advanced to Advanced-Phase Sword Saint borrowing the fortuitous encounter of the Land of Inheritance, she was extremely unhappy and harboured hatred.

Why did this damned girl have such good luck?

“Grandfather, do you think that Lou Mu Yan can brew advanced-level grade 6 spiritual wine?” Gǔ Ning Meng’s tone was a little unhappy.

Ancestor Gǔ naturally knew about Lou Mu Yan, and also disliked her. After all, Bai Fei Yao became trash because of this girl, and with such advancement speed, she was simply their obstacle.

“At her age, brewing advanced-level grade 6 spiritual wine would be as difficult as rising to Heaven.” Ancestor Gǔ smiled faintly but didn’t reveal his dislike for Lou Mu Yan on the surface.

Gǔ Ning Meng asked with a gentle smile to the Tian’yuan City Lord: “Grandpa Mo, what do you think?”

“I don’t quite agree. If she doesn’t have this ability, why would she propose a bet in public?” City Lord Mo revealed interest in his eyes, “She’s the direct disciple of Ancestor Tian Xuan. If she doesn’t have some skill, she wouldn’t brainlessly smear her Master.”

If Lou Mu Yan really lost in front of so many people today, she would not only lose her bet, but also Ancestor Tian Xuan’s face.

And would Ancestor Tian Xuan accept such a stupid disciple who didn’t know how high the sky was? Obviously impossible.

Hearing City Lord Mo’s words, many people revealed expressions of deep thought, and thought it was also reasonable.

Gǔ Ning Meng only felt suffocated. She didn’t expect City Lord Mo to say this, but she didn’t believe that Lou Mu Yan had such ability.

The cold eyes of Ye Qing Han looking towards City Lord Mo showed a rare bit of gentleness, “Maternal Grandpa’s words are very reasonable. Mu Yan will win.”

Note: Apologies for the late update today! I can’t promise updates will be on time for the next 2 weeks. It’s actually getting busier as more events are piling up and work to organise! We’ll be having a multicultural day at our school on Wednesday, yay! I’m a part of the committee so I’ve been staying late at school to prepare. I’ll be wearing my traditional Chinese-inspired han’fu I bought hehe (although it’s more fantasy-like and even I’m aware it’s not really historically accurate HAHA but I love the design and colour). Anyways, I’ll definitely still update every day, just might not be on time.

But after these 2 weeks, until around the last week of December, I’ll update more than one a day sporadically to make up for it. Unfortunately, I can’t promise 2 or more a day as I usually do during the long holidays because I’m going on a trip to Korea and Japan that’ll be around 3 weeks altogether with my friends. I’ll be preparing for that exciting trip and scheduling the chapters I’ve saved up so that it automatically updates every day at 6pm AEDT. That way, I can just have fun in Korea and Japan! I’ll still be reading comments on the website and communicating on discord for those who have joined if I have time.

So yeah, just a heads up! The trip won’t be until the last few days of December, so ya’ll can still experience some double or triple updates IF I have enough chapters saved up. Thanks for understanding!
