794: Sisterly rivalry
"Made for me?" Yang Lingchen was bewildered and said warily, "You didn't drug it, did you?"
He really hadn't expected that Huangfu Xinyue would actually make Medicinal Soup for him.
But if he were really to drink it, Yang Lingchen was a bit hesitant; ghost knows what kind of prank items this woman had put inside.
"Yang Lingchen, are you even a man? This Young Lady kindly made a bowl of Medicinal Soup for you, and you actually suspect This Young Lady of having ulterior motives." Huangfu Xinyue shouted crossly, "Drink it for me immediately, or else don't blame me for being impolite to you."
"Fine, put it down. I'll drink it in a bit!" Yang Lingchen said with a frown.
"No, you must drink it for me right now; otherwise, it won't taste good once it's cold," Huangfu Xinyue said.
"Fuck, if I die, I die!" Yang Lingchen thought to himself, then gritted his teeth, picked up the bowl of Medicinal Soup, and took a small sip.
"How is it? Does it taste good?" Huangfu Xinyue looked at Yang Lingchen expectantly.
"Mhm... it tastes good!"
Yang Lingchen's brow furrowed slightly as he forced himself to swallow it.
At this moment, he finally understood why his Revered Master suddenly had something to do; ordinary people really couldn't drink this Medicinal Soup.
"Then drink more while it's hot." A faint smile appeared on Huangfu Xinyue's Face.
"It's too delicious. I want to save it for tonight; I'll just heat it up myself then," Yang Lingchen said, pretending it was very tasty.
"I still have a big pot over there. Finish this bowl of Medicinal Soup first, and I'll bring you some more in a while," Huangfu Xinyue said.
"There's still a big pot?" Yang Lingchen's eyes widened. He quickly said, "This one bowl is enough for me. Save the rest for your grandfather to drink!"
After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he directly downed the bowl of Medicinal Soup.
"Rebellious Disciple! You're simply trying to screw over your Revered Master!" Huangfu Zhengtian said with a depressed look from within the Void Realm.
At the same time, after drinking the bowl of Medicinal Soup, Yang Lingchen's Face instantly turned pale. He clutched his stomach with both hands as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
"Yang Lingchen, what's wrong with you?" Huangfu Xinyue asked anxiously.
"It's nothing, I just feel a bit uncomfortable. I'll be fine after going back to rest for a bit." After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he bolted back to his small courtyard.
"Blegh...!"
After a bout of violent vomiting, Yang Lingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is it really that bad?"
After returning to her own residence, Huangfu Xinyue served herself a bowl of Medicinal Soup and took a small sip.
"Pfft...!"
Just as it entered her mouth, Huangfu Xinyue spat it out. A confused expression appeared on her Face. "How can it be this bad? Didn't I follow the recipe?"
At this moment, she finally understood why her grandfather had run away so fast.
What moved her slightly was that even though Yang Lingchen clearly knew it tasted terrible, he still drank a large bowl just to save her Face.
"Xinyue, you haven't fallen for this kid, have you?" At some point, Huangfu Xinrou had walked over.
"Who I like is none of your concern as a younger sister," Huangfu Xinyue said.
"Huangfu Xinyue, watch your words. I am the elder sister," Huangfu Xinrou said coldly.
"Huangfu Xinrou, if you want to be my elder sister, it depends on whether you dare to make a bet with me," Huangfu Xinyue said.
"What kind of bet?" Huangfu Xinrou asked in a charming voice.
"Yang Lingchen had conflicts with both of us before, right?" Huangfu Xinyue said prettily.
"Correct, what are you trying to say?" Huangfu Xinrou said.
"Yang Lingchen's looks and talent are both quite good, wouldn't you say?" Huangfu Xinyue asked again.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Huangfu Xinrou said coldly.
"Let's have a competition and see who can hook him. Whoever loses will be the younger sister. Do you dare?" Huangfu Xinyue said provocatively.
"Are you crazy? He is our Junior Martial Uncle!" Huangfu Xinrou said crossly.
"Junior Martial Uncle, so what? We're not blood-related."
"Besides, don't you think this is very exciting? And Grandfather didn't say we definitely have to call him Junior Martial Uncle. Or are you afraid of losing to me? No confidence in your own looks?" Huangfu Xinyue said contemptuously.
"Are you sure you want to compete with me?" Huangfu Xinrou bit her pink lips and said, "Don't go back on your word when you lose."
"I definitely won't lose this time. As long as you can beat me, you'll be the elder sister from now on," Huangfu Xinyue said with a cold snort.
"Fine, I accept this bet. However, I want to state that neither of us is allowed to force him. We must rely on our personal charm to make him submit to us willingly," Huangfu Xinrou said.
"Good, that's what you said! I'm definitely going to be the elder sister," Huangfu Xinyue said triumphantly.
At this time, Yang Lingchen was Cultivating at the bottom of a pool.
His cultivation had already reached the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Earth Immortal Realm, only one step away from the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Therefore, he intended to take this opportunity during his seclusion to elevate his cultivation to the Heavenly Immortal Realm in one go.
Because he was at the bottom of the Cold Pool, the pressure Yang Lingchen faced was immense. Furthermore, the Spiritual Qi at the bottom of the Cold Pool was very dense, so he quickly touched the Barrier of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
What made Yang Lingchen feel helpless was that this Barrier was like an insurmountable chasm; no matter how he charged at it, there was never any sign of it breaking through.
"Which part exactly went wrong?"
A hint of doubt rose in Yang Lingchen's heart. "Could it be that my cultivation hasn't settled enough? That shouldn't be the case!"
"Forget it, I won't worry about it for now. I'll go out and experience the world for a while first."
Yang Lingchen made up his mind to go to the Kongling Secret Realm to gain some experience for a while. Constant bitter cultivation wasn't the answer; now that his cultivation had reached a Bottleneck period, it wouldn't be that easy to Breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Yang Lingchen swam toward the surface of the Cold Pool.
After changing his clothes in his courtyard, Yang Lingchen found Huangfu Zhengtian and spoke about his plan to go to the Kongling Secret Realm to gain experience.
Huangfu Zhengtian did not oppose Yang Lingchen's idea. After all, if a Genius wanted to grow, they could not do without the tempering of life and death.
If blindly Cultivating in seclusion could rapidly increase one's cultivation, then there would be no strife in this world; everyone would just find a cave to go into seclusion.
"Yang Lingchen, are you going out to gain experience?" Huangfu Xinrou walked over at this moment. Today, she was dressed in a tight-fitting, waist-cinching formal dress, making her look pure and lovely.
"Mhm." Yang Lingchen nodded, but in his heart, he was extremely puzzled. "What's with this girl today? Why would she take the initiative to greet me?"
"Can I go with you?" Huangfu Xinrou said gently.
"I want to go with you too, is that okay?"
At this moment, Huangfu Xinyue also walked over and naturally took hold of Yang Lingchen's arm.
