Chapter 5: The Initial Rift Between Male and Female Leads, the Holy Land is Attacked!
“You, what is your relationship with Ling Tian?”
Hearing this question, Su Xueni was so angry that she felt a bit suffocated.
‘Is it that my appearance is not good enough?’ A strong sense of frustration rose in her heart.
“Replying to Your Highness, Ling Tian is my father’s direct disciple. I have also traveled and trained with him. We are ordinary friends.”
Ling Tian’s feelings for her, Su Xueni naturally knew. She herself had some admiration for Ling Tian, but that was all.
“Ordinary friends? Then what do you think of his talent?” Lin Qi’an sipped his tea and asked again.
“His qualifications are acceptable, but they are not one ten-thousandth as good as Your Highness’s.”
As a scumbag woman, it was naturally impossible to praise another man in front of His Highness. Su Xueni understood these social nuances well.
Lin Qi’an became suspicious. The Saintess of Tianchi, pure and untainted, yet she took the initiative to throw herself at him.
If she were truly in love with him, then Ling Tian’s luck value would surely have been reduced. But there was no system prompt! This proved that Su Xueni was not sincere but had another motive.
Impure motives should be punished.
“Then, come and wash my feet,” Lin Qi’an curled his lips. Making the high and pure Saintess do such a servant’s task was outright humiliation!
For Su Xueni, dual cultivation with the Dragon Yang Dao Physique was acceptable, but washing feet brought no benefit and was extremely unwilling.
“What, you are willing to sleep with me but not wash my feet?”
“I… I am willing,” Su Xueni half-bit her silver teeth.
“No need to force yourself. This prince will not force you. Come back when you are willing. Dismissed,” Lin Qi’an gestured for her to leave.
“Xueni… takes her leave.” Though unwilling in her heart, Su Xueni still exited the hall. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince had such strong resistance to beauty.
Just after leaving, a shadow suddenly blocked her in the corridor.
“Ling Tian?”
Yes, it was the confined Ling Tian. He heard the maids gossiping that the Saintess had gone to the Crown Prince’s room and rushed over in a hurry.
“Xueni, you… just came out from Lin Qi’an’s room?” Ling Tian’s pupils constricted, his teeth clenched. Asking this question, he felt his heart almost breaking.
The Saintess of Tianchi had long been regarded by him as his possession. Although they had not yet progressed in their relationship, he believed that given time, he would capture Su Xueni’s heart and create a beautiful story.
“Yes.”
“Did he do anything to you?” Ling Tian hurriedly asked.
“Ling Tian, are you not overstepping your bounds?” Su Xueni’s face turned cold.
Being questioned about such private matters by an ordinary male friend, she found it very rude.
Unexpectedly, Ling Tian, already boiling with anger, became even more agitated without an answer.
“That damn Crown Prince, how dare he force you! Rest assured, Xueni, I will kill him and not let you suffer any grievances!” Ling Tian clenched his fists, terrifying anger spewing from his eyes, almost wanting to tear Lin Qi’an apart.
“Are you crazy?” Su Xueni’s beautiful eyes widened.
She was still planning to gradually manipulate the Crown Prince to fall for her, and you want to kill the Dragon Yang Dao Physique I have my eyes on?!
At this moment, Ling Tian took out a packet of gray-white powder from his bosom and whispered:
“Xueni, this is the Heart-Devouring Powder I obtained from the Demon Cave some time ago. If Lin Qi’an asks you to go again, secretly put it in his tea.”
“???”
“Don’t worry. This poison is colorless and tasteless. It will only make people lose their energy and spirit. It has a latency period of several years, and they will never suspect you.”
“Impossible.” Su Xueni’s face turned cold as she refused mercilessly.
Ling Tian was stunned, “Xueni, don’t you trust me?”
“I warn you, it’s best to drop these thoughts. If you mention it again, don’t blame me, Su Xueni, for being ruthless!”
Usually gentle and elegant, the Saintess, like a serene maiden, used a threatening tone for the first time. After saying this, she waved her sleeve and left, leaving behind a stunning figure.
Ling Tian was struck as if by lightning!
“It must be Lin Qi’an who used some method to bewitch Xueni. Damn it, hateful… Lin Qi’an, don’t think your power and influence make you untouchable.”
At this moment, a ethereal female voice echoed in Ling Tian’s mind:
“Ling Tian, you shouldn’t provoke someone you can’t afford to for such trivial matters.”
The speaker was the sword spirit Ling Yu of the Nine Yang Divine Sword, a remnant soul of an ancient god.
He had gone this far because it was with Ling Yu’s help that his strength advanced rapidly, which was the root of his rise.
“This is not a trivial matter!” Ling Tian said excitedly: “I like Xueni. Heaven and earth can witness my heart. It is not the filthy desire of someone like Lin Qi’an!” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
“Ah… You are young and impulsive. You must learn to endure and hide, or it may harm yourself.”
“Rest assured, master, I have a plan.”
【Ding! Ling Tian and Su Xueni have a rift, Luck Value -50】
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Qi’an smiled. Su Xueni was indeed his Luck Female Lead. If their relationship broke, her Luck Value would surely decrease.
But he hadn’t even made a move yet, so why had it decreased?
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from the sky.
“What’s going on?”
“Your Highness, it seems someone is attacking the Tianchi Holy Land!”
