As Yun Roumu’s crushing defeat forced her to retreat, all eyes naturally shifted back to Tuoba Qiyue.
A gentle breeze blew by.
The sheer ribbons fluttered slightly.
Tuoba Qiyue appeared as if she had stepped out of a painting, breathtakingly beautiful. The brush in her hand added an air of elegance.
Li Ruowang felt quite displeased at once.
“Weren’t you supposed to be his Senior Sister? Since when did you become his Dao companion? You’ve certainly moved quickly!”
Tuoba Qiyue replied calmly, “Everyone changes every day. Take you, for instance. The last time you came here, you were surrounded by a whole entourage.”
“Now, there are only three people left by your side? Has the throne been seized? Have you fallen from grace?”
The last time Li Ruowang came to Wuzhi Peak, Tuoba Qiyue didn’t engage with her much. After all, she had only been a senior sister then.
But now it was different.
Tuoba Qiyue was both a senior sister and a Dao companion.
She had no reason not to be on the offensive against someone who claimed to be Ye Yu’s Dao companion.
Taking down Yun Roumu was just the beginning, not the end!
In response to Tuoba Qiyue’s mockery, Li Ruowang didn’t get angry; instead, she smiled and said, “The Great Qian Dynasty’s throne is quite stable, and there’s no such thing as losing power.”
“As for these three people by my side, you might want to speak a little more respectfully in the future. They are all Ye Yu’s Dao companions. In terms of seniority, you should call them ‘big sisters’!”
Upon hearing this, Yun Wuci and Bu Lingfei nodded in agreement.
What she said was not wrong!
They could accept the existence of Ye Yu having other Dao companions, but it was only fair to respect the order of seniority, right?
Tuoba Qiyue was truly shocked.
What?
Ye Yu actually had four Dao companions?
That many?
Damn you, Junior Brother! No wonder I couldn’t find you all those days—it turns out there were so many affairs outside.
This was just too much!
Tuoba Qiyue’s expression darkened.
But the more it was like this, the happier Li Ruowang became. She stepped forward, softly saying, “Come on, start with me. Let’s hear you call me ‘big sister.’”
This statement didn’t mean that Li Ruowang accepted Tuoba Qiyue. Instead, she was deliberately provoking the latter.
It could be considered one of her tactics for clearing out rivals!
Sure enough, Tuoba Qiyue’s anger was ignited at once.
“What big sister or little sister? Don’t speak nonsense in front of me! If you dare to speak carelessly again, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
In an instant, the previously clear sky darkened with gathering storm clouds.
A surge of overwhelming celestial power erupted from Tuoba Qiyue, and a massive phantom emerged behind her, flickering in and out of sight.
The pressure of Tribulation Crossing realm fully unleashed!
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably choose to retreat on the spot. But who was Li Ruowang?
The Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty—retreat was simply not in her vocabulary.
A dragon’s roar echoed in the air as Li Ruowang stepped forward, undaunted, standing face-to-face with Tuoba Qiyue.
“Alright, I want to see just how merciless you can be!”
The two women unleashed their full power, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Bu Lingfei and Yun Wuci were just about to step forward to intervene, but they were stopped by Gan Zhizui.
“Leave them be. They’re going to fight eventually, so why not sooner rather than later?”
Bu Lingfei frowned slightly. “We’re all Ye Yu’s Dao companions, which makes us sisters. Why fight? If anyone gets hurt, Ye Yu will definitely be upset.”
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine!”
Gan Zhizui shook her head slightly, but the amusement in her eyes was impossible to conceal. She couldn’t wait for Li Ruowang and Tuoba Qiyue to fight.
This way, two rivals could be eliminated.
What’s not to like?
While Gan Zhizui managed to stop Yun Wuci and Bu Lingfei, she had overlooked someone else—Lin Miaoxue.
Having always been grateful to Ye Yu, Lin Miaoxue couldn’t bear to watch two of his Dao companions fight to the death. After all, when Tribulation cultivators clash, it can easily turn lethal.
Thus, Lin Miaoxue hurriedly stepped forward to intervene.
“Stop! Don’t fight; calm down a bit. Ye Yu wouldn’t want to see you like this either.”
Tuoba Qiyue frowned slightly but didn’t speak.
Li Ruowang, however, turned her head slightly and smiled, “Oh, I almost forgot about your existence. Come on, call me ‘big sister’ so I can hear it!”
Lin Miaoxue’s face darkened.
What does this mean?
Call you ‘big sister’?
Are you sure you can handle it?
In terms of age, Lin Miaoxue, existing thirty thousand years ago, would certainly not be younger than Li Ruowang.
As for cultivation level, would you let someone at the Ascension Realm call a Tribulation Crossing realm person ‘big sister’? Have you lost your mind?
Or do you think this fairy can’t wield a sword anymore?
Lin Miaoxue’s expression grew even darker.
But Li Ruowang showed no signs of restraint. Instead, she teased, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy? Aren’t you also Ye Yu’s Dao companion?”
“According to the rules of seniority, is it wrong for you to call me ‘big sister’?”
These words instantly dissipated the anger in Lin Miaoxue’s heart.
Hmm? Ye Yu’s Dao companion?
When did it become that she was his companion?
How come I didn’t know about this?
Lin Miaoxue was about to explain when a massive spirit boat had already landed steadily on Wuzhi Peak.
Everyone looked up, astonished by the grandeur and size of the spirit boat.
As the gifter, Li Ruowang revealed a cold smile.
Has Ye Yu finally arrived?
That’s wonderful.
I truly want to see how you will choose.
Meanwhile, Yun Roumu, who had been defeated, regained her composure. She also knew that this was Ye Yu’s exclusive spirit boat. Its presence meant that Ye Yu had arrived.
So what if you’ve met the parents and master? And what if I’m not officially his Dao companion yet? As long as I’m proactive, I’m not afraid of junior brother not taking the bait!
Today, I, Yun Roumu, will definitely clear my name! Let all of you dare not question my identity from now on!
Gan Zhizui slightly narrowed her eyes.
On this spirit boat, she sensed a familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy.
Is it Ye Yu?
Just as all the women present were eagerly looking forward to it, two incredibly beautiful women leaped down from the spirit boat.
They slowly landed on the ground.
These two were Su Yao and Zuo Yingchun.
Seeing their arrival, the women present were momentarily stunned.
Who are they?
How did they come down from Ye Yu’s spirit boat?
A bad thought suddenly arose in their hearts:
These two might very well be Ye Yu’s Dao companions too.
Good heavens.
Now, there were already an astonishing nine women here. If another one appeared, it would successfully break into double digits.
Li Ruowang slowly clenched her fists.
A killing intent suddenly erupted from her entire being.
Initially, the reason for giving this spirit boat to Ye Yu was for his safety.
Secondly, it was hoped that one day, Ye Yu would awaken and turn over a new leaf, falling in love solely with her, Li Ruowang.
At that time, they could sit on the spirit boat, roaming the world together, enjoying their private paradise.
But now, other women had boarded this spirit boat…Li Ruowang was naturally seething with rage.
She stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you, and where is Ye Yu?”
