Purple Cloud Wish-Fulfilling

the river at night, he suddenly leaned close to me and sniffed, asking, "What's that scent of rouge""What This fellow has such a good nose! I was very careful not to touch that old rouge, and I've eve...Standing before the gate of Qingyu Taoist Temple once again, I have a strange feeling of being worlds apart.

The last time I was here was with Si Tu Lin. That's when I learned about the spiritual fetus and filling the eyes of the formation. Back then, I was still just a tool in everyone's eyes.

Once again in this place, there's a feeling of things passing by like smoke.

After I left Qingyu Taoist Temple, my relationship with Jiang Qiyun became a constant tug-of-war. I lost again and again, yet I fell deeper into the abyss each time.

Into the net of fate she fell, her spirit breaking through evil, Jiang Qiyun gathered souls and formed a spectral ceremony in the underworld, and a child was born...

I suddenly felt that time flies and my heart feels a little old.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones enshrined in the hall again, I was met with a different atmosphere this time. Last time, I was met with indifference, but now their eyes held a hint of reverence.

These members of the Shen family should all know my relationship with Jiang Qiyun.

"Master... Mistress Mu, our matriarch is in the back room." A Kun Dao bowed to us.

"What does that mean, calling us here and hiding in the room yourself" My brother asked, a little annoyed.

I felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so I asked, "Did the old lady get hurt"

The Kundo was surprised by my look and immediately bowed his head to answer, "Yes... The old lady can't get up now. Please hurry there!"

My brother's eyebrows jumped slightly, and when he walked to the back corridor, he suddenly grabbed me.

Shen Qingrui hurried into Old Madam Shen's room from the other side. My brother gestured for me to wait and see what was going on.

In the inner room, Shen Qingrui’s voice soon came: “….The magic artifact has cracked. You still can't bear to give me that thing If you can't suppress that piece of ferocious wood, there will be casualties among the Shen family members!”

Her voice was a little hurried. Though she had been sent to the Shen family on a mission, couldn't she still have some feelings for the place where she was born and raised

In her past life, she was a lotus bud with only one soul. Even after transforming into human form, she didn't have many complicated thoughts or ideas.

But being born as a human is different.

A person has three souls and seven spirits, six desires and seven emotions. Her thoughts are much more complex.

There was no echo in the room.

Shen Qingrui roared angrily: "You're wasting time with your life! These three pieces of ferocious wood are a conspiracy! Patriarch Situ wants the monks, Taoists, and mortals to suppress them separately, just to hold back the elite figures of the three factions! He's taking advantage of the situation!"

"You all know this is a conspiracy, so why agree to it The mages under the Tongxuan Society are clueless, but you three bigwigs should understand! What are you all fighting for!"

A sigh echoed through the room. Old Madam Shen murmured softly, " ... Qingrui, you're proud and ambitious, naturally you wouldn't understand why."

"...I don't understand. Doesn't it matter that the Shen family is wiped out Tell me, what is worth risking the entire Shen family for"

"Girl, you still need to go through more trials and tribulations. You have to know that in this world, there are some things that even if you know the consequences, you have to do... For the sake of the country, it's something that has to be done..."

For the sake of the nation, what must one do

The four characters "Mrs. Shen," I heard, carried a lot of weight.

Why do these four characters carry a hint of determination and a touch of resignation

Shen Qingrui let out two cold snorts: "Old woman, are you waiting for Mu Xiaqiao With the Emperor's love for her, as long as you flatter her, the Emperor will continue to protect the Shen family. It's a pity that Mu Xiaqiao is not interested in the Shen family. Even if you fawn over her, it's useless. All her energy is spent on seducing the Emperor. She wouldn't care about the Shen family's life or death."

This is a placeholder for content that was previously present but has now been removed.

"...She can, she can..." The old woman sighed.

She has the Emperor’s undying blood curse, even the Wan Gui Cave couldn't kill her. Even if she died, she could still be her little mistress. She doesn't care how the Shen family or the world fares!

I was a little worried about Old Mrs. Shen's condition, and despite my brother pulling me back, I walked into the room and replied, "Who said I didn't care"

"Mu Xiaoqiao." Old Madam Shen's eyes lit up when she saw me, softening my heart instantly.

She smelled of blood, although she had no visible wounds. The faint scent lingered around her.

"...Aunt, what's wrong with you" I asked from the window.

She shook her head. "When you get old, you have to accept your age. After you've given your all, it's time to step back. I called you here because I want to give you something… This is the most important artifact of our Shen family." She squeezed my wrist anxiously and said.

I glanced at Shen Qingrui who was watching with cold eyes and asked, "Shouldn't the most important artifact be given to Shen Qingrui She is the heir of the Shen family."

Shen Qingrui let out a cold snort: "So what if he's the heir You're Emperor Jun's new favorite."

"Mind your words," I frowned at her. "He's never had a past love, where did this new darling come from Don't fool yourself."

Shen Qingrui's face paled, her hands that had been clutched to her chest fell down, and she said indignantly: "The time when the Emperor needed to adjust his emptiness, it was I who served him! Where were you then"

I took a deep breath and smiled, “You still don't understand.”

He sat and forgot for a hundred years, discarding evil thoughts, but he could not discard worldly desires.

Pure Yang Qi cultivation requires the cultivation of emptiness and harmony.

In the Nine Netherworlds, there are maidservants, ghosts, and even female immortals. Why did he single out Lianrui to be enlightened as a human

Plants have only one spirit, pure and unpolluted. How much more so a lotus blooming in the midst of blood!

He didn't want to be burdened by emotional debts or touch upon lust.

"...He transformed the lotus into a human, but it was only because he needed to balance the emptiness, a last resort. Afterwards, he treated you well, trusted you, and allowed you to be reborn as a human with a complete three souls and seven spirits... But you betrayed him... You were supposed to guard me, yet you brought me to the center of the formation..."

"Do you hope for me to suffer, or die Or perhaps more so, that my child dies within me That way, I'd be of no use to him anymore, wouldn't you think it's your chance then Your seven emotions and six desires are far more terrifying than he imagines."

"Shen Qingrui, helping him to harmonize the Void was that lotus petal that had turned into essence. It wasn't you. How come you haven't figured it out yet"

Her expression shifted constantly, and the unwillingness in her eyes never seemed to fade.

There is no point in continuing.

His sigh had sealed the fate of this matter: I transformed the lotus for personal gain, and the lotus repaid me with karmic debts.

It's just his karma.

That's it.

"Mu Xiao Qiao, don't get too cocky! The Emperor will tire of you eventually!" She gritted her teeth and cursed: "I'll be waiting to see what happens to you!"

I glanced at her: "You make him sound so terrible, he really is a good subordinate, isn't he"

Shen Qingrui snorted and turned away. My brother stopped her with a chuckle, saying in a low voice, “Know the difference between what belongs to you and what is even a delusional fantasy… Don't make your mistress angry, or next time it won't be just a slap on the mouth.”

She glared fiercely at my brother and slammed the door shut as she left!ls from the ninth heaven, at the very least she'd be a Earth Immortal, right Does she have that kind of ability"Don't just stand there, hurry up! We can only maintain this for a minute. If you have an...
