Chapter 53 Punishing the White Lotus

At the time, she didn't think Lu Fuyue was just a woman with no background who could be easily manipulated.

In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince has always disliked people staying here for too long. If it weren't for Master Lin being her martial uncle, she wouldn't even be able to step into this place.

That's why she came up with this quick and decisive method; she never expected that Lu Fuyue could actually produce so many Grade 3 Breakthrough Pills...

Yun Luoxue showed a perfectly timed hint of grievance on her face.

“Miss Lu, how could you misunderstand me like this? I did this today to clear your name.”

Suddenly, Yun Luoxue seemed to remember something, and abruptly looked at Lu Fuyue. Her sharp voice drew everyone's attention.

"No, you have cultivation."

“When you took out that bottle of pills just now, there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy.”

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Lu Fuyue's appearance just now did indeed seem to indicate that she possessed cultivation, but something felt off about her.

Lu Fuyue smiled gently, "Unfortunately, I had just recovered my cultivation when you arrived."

Yun Luoxue's pupils suddenly contracted. If she had cultivation, why couldn't she tell her cultivation level?

Could it be...? No, it's impossible. This good-for-nothing's bone age is only sixteen, while she is a genius of the Southern Spirit Kingdom. How could she possibly have a higher cultivation level than her?

She must possess a magical artifact that conceals her cultivation level; yes, that must be it.

The fact that she could so easily produce so many grade-three pills, as well as magical treasures that could conceal her cultivation level, meant that her identity was definitely not simple.

She might even be a disciple from one of the major sects in the cultivation world. If she could gain her trust, wouldn't those pills fall into her hands?

Thinking of this, a hint of joy flashed in Yun Luoxue's eyes.

So she softened her tone a bit, "Miss Lu, I really misunderstood you today. If you ever need my help in the future, just come to the General's Mansion and I will do my best to help you."

Lu Fuyue saw through her scheme at a glance and refused, saying, "That won't be necessary. But the compensation you promised me earlier, should we start now?"

Yun Luoxue's body stiffened, her heart bleeding. There were a hundred high-grade spirit stones in her storage bag, which was her savings of half a year.

Not only that, there are also several Xuan-level cultivation manuals and a high-grade magic weapon, the Blazing Fire Sword, inside. What if this woman takes them...?

But then I thought about this woman's identity; maybe I could use her to get into a major sect as a disciple.

So Yun Luoxue gritted her teeth, took off the storage bag, and handed it to Lu Fuyue, saying, "Miss Lu, please."

Lu Fuyue glanced at it casually and knew there was nothing there that she liked. However, just because she didn't like it didn't mean that no one else did.

What is rightfully hers, not a penny less.

Lu Fuyue took the storage bag and looked at Yun Luoxue, "Miss Yun, if you don't open this storage bag, do you expect me to erase your divine sense?"

Yun Luoxue felt a chill run through her body. Erasing her divine sense might damage it, turning her into an idiot.

She forced a stiff smile and quickly said, "How could that be? I'll do it!"

After opening the storage bag, Lu Fuyue took out the first one hundred high-grade spirit stones.

As expected, Yun Luoxue's face turned green, and Lu Fuyue could even hear her gritting her teeth.

"Miss Lu, it must be inconvenient for you to carry so many spirit stones. Why don't you choose something else?"

Those present couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of the General's Mansion when they saw so many spirit stones. That was a hundred high-grade spirit stones! They might not be able to earn that much even if they worked for hundreds of years.

Lu Fuyue pretended to think for a moment, seemingly softening her stance.

Just when Yun Luoxue thought that Lu Fuyue didn't intend to choose the hundred high-grade spirit stones, she suddenly said something.

"It's really inconvenient, so why not just absorb it directly?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lu Fuyue, under Yun Luoxue's murderous gaze, completely absorbed all the spiritual energy from those spirit stones.

Yun Luoxue's expression changed drastically, "You..."

But she held back the next second.

Now that the spirit stones are gone, she cannot give up greater benefits for something that is no longer available.

So Yun Luoxue took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Miss Fu, you truly have excellent cultivation."

Lu Fuyue: "Thank you for the compliment."

The guards looked at Lu Fuyue with pained expressions. That was a hundred high-grade spirit stones! What a waste!

Lu Fuyue didn't care about all that; she took out another cultivation manual from inside.

Yun Luoxue almost fainted after just one glance, but fortunately her maid quickly caught her.

That was one of the Yun family's ancestral cultivation techniques, the Xuan-level superior grade "Breaking Clouds Technique," and it was the best of all her cultivation techniques.

This good-for-nothing has such good luck.

However, Lu Fuyue only glanced at it casually and said indifferently, "Miss Yun, do you not have any decent cultivation techniques? All you have are these junk."

A hint of hatred flashed in Yun Luoxue's eyes. She tried her best to suppress her anger, but she couldn't hold back the next second.

"Miss Lu, please be mindful of your words."

Lu Fuyue looked at her in surprise, "So you do know what it means to be mindful of your words? I thought you didn't. Then why did you frame me without any solid evidence?"

"Since you know to be mindful of your words, you should also know that if the person standing here today is truly just an ordinary person without cultivation or the power to retaliate."

"Then she must have died a terrible death because of what you just did."

"Miss Yun, you really know how to beautify yourself."

Yun Luoxue could no longer hold back. She immediately channeled her spiritual energy and struck Lu Fuyue with a palm strike, angrily shouting, "You're courting death!"

Lu Fuyue's eyes turned cold, and he stood still. Just when everyone present thought Lu Fuyue was doomed, Yun Luoxue was instead sent flying by Lu Fuyue's palm strike.

They looked at each other, their faces full of confusion. Had something just flown out?

Before Yun Luoxue could even react, she had already collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood continuously.

Lu Fuyue walked to her side, looking down at her with a calm expression.

"Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Since you are the Crown Prince's fiancée, I will spare your life because he saved me. If you dare to plot against me again, your fate will be just like this storage bag."

After saying that, a ball of flame appeared out of thin air in Lu Fuyue's palm, quickly burning Yun Luoxue's storage bag to ashes.

Yun Luoxue's face contorted in shock, but because of the blow she had just received, she dared not move.

She remembered this grudge.

At that moment, a gentle yet distant voice came from outside the door, "She is not my fiancée, Miss Lu, please handle her as you see fit."
