My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

After hunting the Tier 5 Ice Apes, the group followed the closest path on the marked map and swept up and beheaded the Tier 5 Demonic Beasts required for the mission.

Three days later, on a glacial plain, green trees were dotted among the vast expanse of white, and a group of Cold Vultures flew on the clearing around the trees.

When Yun Zi Mo and two other teams of students rushed to the icefield, wanting to kill the Tier 5 Cold Vultures that they received information of, they saw a large group of Cold Vultures currently fighting a few people.

Among the few people lead by Lou Mu Bai, two of them cleaned the low-level Cold Vulture on the periphery, while four of them faced four Tier 5 Cold Vulture Kings among the Cold Vultures.

And the white-clothed woman currently in battle with a Tier 5 Cold Vulture King unexpectedly stunned them.

She was agile and fast, sped swiftly beneath the wings of the Demonic Beast, blasted and slammed with her fists covered in Elemental Energy, used her body to fight head-to-head with the Tier 5 Cold Vulture King, and yet she wasn’t at all at a disadvantage.

Sword Masters were more adept in long-range combats because their body’s toughness couldn’t be compared to a Demonic Beast’s, so they were weak in close-quarters combat. But Lou Mu Yan personally let them realise that the body of a human Sword Master could also be as strong and tough as a Demonic Beast.

“That’s Lou Mu Yan?” Ji Han Xu, who stood beside Yun Zi Mo, didn’t conceal the shock in his eyes. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he’d absolutely never believe that Lou Mu Yan’s body was so tough.

Yun Zi Mo’s cold eyes deepened, “She should have practiced a flesh-refining skill. But to be able to combat a Tier 5 Demonic Beast with the cultivation base of a Sword Spirit Master, and still appear to be winning, she indeed has her own strengths.”

The body of a human Sword Master, compared to a Demonic Beast, was extremely fragile. A Sword Master once developed a flesh-refining skill to make up for this shortcoming, but unfortunately, these sorts of skills were not only rare to find, but it also wasn’t suitable for everyone to cultivate.

He guessed that Lou Mu Yan probably obtained a Flesh-Refining Manual and trained in it successfully. Otherwise it’d be impossible to have the ability and physical quality to fight against Demonic Beasts directly.

“Could it be the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill?” A fiery light flashed across Ji Han Xu’s eyes.

Yun Zi Mo pondered for a bit before disagreeing: “Even the most Heaven-defying pill couldn’t cleanse the marrow and refine the body. The strength she displayed doesn’t seem to be improved because she took a pill.”

“But it’s undeniable that the Marrow Cleansing Pill indeed turned the famous waste of the Imperial Capital into a genius who’s not at all inferior to you now.” Ji Han Xu held a firm belief in the efficacy of the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Recently, the Ji Clan was also secretly negotiating with the Lou Clan, only hoping to successfully obtain the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Yun Zi Mo’s eyes displayed a look of disagreement, but he didn’t say more.

Presumably, there were a lot of people that thought of Lou Mu Yan in that way, but he guessed that it was actually because this woman hid her talents well. He firmly believed that it was simply impossible for a person to change so drastically due to the effects of a pill alone.

After eradicating the Terminal Meridians Constitution, two of the most important factors that Lou Mu Yan relied on to achieve what she did, definitely must be her own extraordinary talents and own efforts.

The jealousy in Yun Ge’s eyes were inadvertently revealed and was quickly caught by Qi Le Xiang who stood not far away.

She lowered her eyes to cover up the changing emotions in her eyes and thought: This time, she’d definitely not allow Lou Mu Yan to return, and would help the Gu Clan get rid of this huge nuisance and trouble.

The fight remained one-sided. After Lou Mu Yan sweat to her heart’s content, and her body and mind were refreshed, she arranged an Elemental Energy Killing Array to trap the Cold Vulture King.

The Cold Vulture King was unwilling to reveal weakness. It was trapped, but it gathered all its Demonic Energy on its sharp beak, raised its head, then lowered it, pecking towards the weakest part of Lou Mu Yan’s head.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes grew cold. A layer of glaze-like jade colour enveloped her hand. She quickly backed away a few steps, then leapt forward, and her right fist that carried boundless Elemental Energy was directly inserted into the area where the Crystal Core resided, wrenching it right out.

[GAH!] The Cold Vulture King’s eyes bulged, and its breath stopped abruptly in its last call.

After putting away the Cold Vulture King’s corpse, Lou Mu Yan walked to Yun Lan and the other’s side, and said with a smile: “Mission complete!”

“Lou Mu Yan, you little monster. You completed your first Trial mission in only three days.” Xiao Zi Ang pursed his lips and said, unreconciled. Except there was a smile of admiration in his eyes.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow, stretched out her hand and patted his shoulder. Then her eyes curved into a crescent shape as she smiled, “Brother, I’ve got to remind you that you’ve still got seven Demonic Beasts left to complete the mission, but there’s only two days left.”

“…” The corner of Xiao Zi Ang’s mouth twitched. This was precisely a caustic friend that was here just to take a jab at his heart.

The others couldn’t help but smile. Then seeing the people on the opposite side walk towards them, Yun Lan’s eyes deepened, and he greeted Yun Zi Mo: “Young Royal Uncle.”

Yun Zi Mo’s cold eyes didn’t reveal much emotion. He nodded and asked: “Have you all completed your missions?”

“We’re almost done.” Yun Lan turned the conversation on its head and asked with a smile: “I suppose that Young Royal Uncle must have completed your Trial missions, right?”

“Not yet. There’s still three more left until completion.” Yun Zi Mo answered indifferently.

“I say Yun Lan, aren’t you all a bit unkind.” Ji Han Xu stepped forward and with a smile, as if joking, said: “You guys always intercept and kill the Tier 5 Demonic Beasts. You should at least leave some soup for us brothers when you’re eating the meat!”

Xiao Zi Ang still remembered how Ji Han Xu acted against Lou Mu Bai for Yun Ge earlier, so he said: “Well who told you guys to always be slower than us. Even I haven’t had any soup, so don’t you guys count on having any either.”

“Oh, isn’t this Alchemist Xiao? You still need to drink soup? With your identity as an Alchemist, you can just beckon and call, and wouldn’t there be a lot of Sword Masters who will come and hack through brambles and thorns and sweep a bunch of Tier 5 Demonic Beasts for you?” A young man beside Ji Han Xu who wore fine and splendid robes sneered, with ridicule in his voice.

Xiao Zi Ang choked. He did indeed have some power to rally helpers back in the Imperial Capital because of his identity as an Alchemist, but during the Trial in the Glacial Mountain Range, everyone was a child favoured by the Heavens. So who would help him sweep up Tier 5 Demonic Beasts for a few pills.

The anger in his heart rose steadily. The young man across from him who spoke was also his enemy in the Imperial Capital, so to be ridiculed like this, he truly couldn’t swallow the anger. Just when he was about to resolve this using force, his arm was pulled by Lou Mu Yan.

“Alchemist Xiao, this Miss is willing to hack through brambles and thorns to sweep up a bunch of Tier 5 Demonic Beasts for you.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes curved as they carried a brightness and continued, “Let alone drinking soup, let’s not even leave a single Demonic Beast fur for these eyesores.”

“Alright!” Xiao Zi Ang felt the warmth from his arms, and his heart also warmed up. Lou Mu Yan truly was loyal.

“Lou Mu Yan, who are you saying is an eyesore?” That young man who had ridiculed Xiao Zi Ang glared at her furiously.

Lou Mu Yan retracted her hand on Xiao Zi Ang’s arm, picked up a strand of hair on her shoulder to play with, then raised her eyes carelessly, saying: “Of course it’s whoever answers is the eyesore.”

This person was Gu Yan Ran’s admirer. He hadn’t ridiculed and bullied her any less when they met before, and now he was mocking Xiao Zi Ang. Lou Mu Yan’s lips curled up into a cold arc.

Want to complete the mission to kill Tier 5 Demonic Beasts? Humph, with her here, this person could dream on.
