The Emperor's Domineering Favor, the Evil Consort's Unparalleled Reign

How can this be? !

Lin Piaopiao looked on in shock as she watched Ying Li effortlessly pass through the Qingyue Gate, her lips turning slightly pale.

That's the Gate of Clear Moon. Anyone without any spiritual power who tries to force their way through will only end up like Wang Gui. Moreover, I heard that Ying Li came to Clear Moon Manor a few years ago, but left without a trace, so he definitely didn't succeed. This incident almost became the laughing stock of the entire Ye Ling City. If it weren't for Ying Wuyou's strong suppression, Ying Li's reputation as a good-for-nothing would probably have been even more widespread.

But now! Ying Li passed it with ease!

Wasn't she a good-for-nothing? How did she succeed?! Lin Piaopiao grew angrier the more she thought about it, her fingers clenching involuntarily, wanting to have a good fight with Ying Li through the Qingyue Gate.

Even more shocked was Ying Li. Standing inside the door, she had no time to worry about what was happening outside. Looking at her hands, she could hardly believe it. Two years ago, she was just a nobody, coldly rejected by the Qingyue Gate. Now, she had unexpectedly passed through!

"Girl, it seems your cultivation these past few days has been quite effective." The alluring man spoke up at the right moment, looking at Ying Li with a slight smile. Ying Li glanced at the alluring man who had appeared behind her, then turned to look at the Clear Moon Gate behind her, her face showing undisguised shock.

How did it pass? Before she could even react, she found herself standing in Qingyue Manor.

"Isn't Ying Li a good-for-nothing? How did he pass so easily?! Or are those rumors just false?!"

"Everyone in Yeling City says she's a good-for-nothing, but now that the Qingyue Gate has granted Ying Li the qualification to enter, Ying Li is definitely not a good-for-nothing!"

“That makes sense, that makes sense. Anyway, the Qingyue Gate wouldn’t fake it. I think Miss Ying Li is quite capable.”

"Those powerful families are all good at hiding their strength. Miss Ying was betrothed to the Dongfang family, which is one level below the Ying family, since she was a child. Could it be that she couldn't swallow this insult and deliberately showed weakness to make Dongfang Lin break off the engagement? I heard that the Dongfang family went to break off the engagement some time ago, but the Ying family was neither angry nor annoyed. They even made Ying Li agree to a challenge to Dongfang Lin. Doesn't that make some sense?"

"Hey, brother, now that you mention it, things are much clearer. Ying Li isn't a good-for-nothing at all; she's just pretending! I knew it! How could such a pretty young girl be a good-for-nothing? Otherwise, wouldn't the old patriarch of the Ying family have already chosen a new heir?!"

"..."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, the crowd's opinion shifted. It seemed Ying Li had been a cultivation prodigy since childhood, only compromising for the sake of a marriage contract, without considering that if Ying Li didn't want to marry, given the Ying family's influence in Ye Ling City, how could they be controlled by the Dongfang family?!

"She's just a piece of trash!" Lin Piaopiao roared. Seeing that Ying Li was so disrespectful to her, and that the crowd's attention had suddenly shifted, she was no longer the center of attention. She couldn't help but feel angry and hated Ying Li even more.

The burly stranger standing to the side looked at the furious Lin Piaopiao, then at Ying Li behind the misty Qingyue Gate, and asked in confusion, "But she clearly passed through the Qingyue Gate, which proves that she is not a good-for-nothing. So why does this young lady say such a thing?"

"I said she's a piece of trash!" Lin Piaopiao gripped the big man's collar with one hand, her spiritual power surging, and the big man was suddenly lifted half a meter high, his face contorted in fear.

Jiang Yunlou's expression changed slightly, his previous relaxed demeanor vanishing. He walked over and pressed Lin Piaopiao's hand down, saying in a deep voice, "Piaopiao, now is not the time to be angry. If you don't like Ying Li, we can go and teach her a lesson. Why keep bottling it up? Right now, no one in the Ying family is backing her up. Even if we beat her, in this Linshui City, who can insult us?!"

Lin Piaopiao glared fiercely at Jiang Yunlou, then turned to look at Ying Li, who had his back to her. She threw the burly man on the ground with a thud. The man fell heavily to the ground, rolling several times. A sound of bones cracking was heard. The man's face turned ashen, and he was covered in cold sweat. His right hand hung limply in front of him, broken.

"roll!"

Lin Piaopiao didn't even look, her spiritual power surged out and shot towards the direction of the Clear Moon Gate! Jiang Yunlou followed closely, and a little later Xiao Xun followed the two to the gate, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The people's faces were all rather grim. They hadn't expected Lin Piaopiao, with her gentle appearance, to be so ruthless. Looking at the burly man on the ground, his face pale with pain, they felt a pang of sympathy for him. The burly man was groaning in agony, slapping himself repeatedly with his intact left hand. This misfortune had struck him like a bolt from the blue; it was all because he had spoken too much earlier.

Wang Gui, his face ashen, slumped to the ground, tears streaming down his face as he witnessed these dramatic changes. He had hoped to escape by using Ying Li's reputation as a good-for-nothing, only to discover that he himself was the real good-for-nothing!

Just as Ying Li was sighing, three streams of spiritual energy followed behind her, one being a sixth-level Soul Cultivator and the other two being seventh-level Soul Cultivators. Her expression changed, and she turned around. In the blink of an eye, Lin Piaopiao, Jiang Yunlou, and Xiao Xun had passed through Qingyue Manor and arrived in front of her.

Lin Piaopiao, her face contorted with rage, strode forward as soon as she stood still, shouting, "Ying Li, are you tired of living? How dare you go against me?!"

Ying Li's expression changed, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Lin Piaopiao. "Who's tired of living? Can't you tell?! I have no intention of fighting with you and have been tolerant at every turn, but you have been pushing me step by step. Not only have you resorted to underhanded tactics, but now you're even distorting the truth. Has all the manners the Lin family instilled in you been wasted?!"

"You!" Lin Piaopiao's eyebrows shot up, her face frost-like and furrowed, but in the next second she changed her expression. "Hmph, the upbringing and manners of my Lin family are none of your business. But your Ying family, not only did you marry a prostitute, but you also appointed a good-for-nothing as the head of the family. Only your old senile man could do such an absurd thing!"

She knew Ying Li's sore spot perfectly well; that old codger Ying Wuyou was Ying Li's biggest weakness! So she would use this weakness to teach Ying Li a lesson! Words that strike at the heart are far more powerful than superficial wounds!

Sure enough, when Ying Li saw Lin Piaopiao's intriguing smile, a cold glint appeared on his face. Anyone else was fine, but no one could touch his grandfather!

"Say it again!" Ying Li lowered her head. As the dark clouds passed, Lin Piaopiao could no longer see her features clearly.

She gloated; it seemed this saying really worked on Li. So Lin Piaopiao cleared her throat and said, word by word, "I said, 'A prostitute enters the door, a good-for-nothing runs the household,' that's just like your old man..."

Lin Piaopiao's eyes widened suddenly, and goosebumps erupted all over her body!

Ying Li slowly raised his head, his eyes as deep as the sea, chilling to the bone, and his whole body exuded a powerful spiritual energy, which actually had a great deterrent effect on Lin Piaopiao.

Xiao Xun stood aside, watching Ying Li's spiritual power surge continuously, and was extremely surprised. Not only was the other party not a waste, but he had also broken through to the fifth stage of soul cultivation! Although his cultivation was far lower than the three of them, his terrifying aura made people feel wary.

"You're courting death!" Lin Piaopiao snapped out of her daze, gathered her spiritual energy in her hands, drew her sword from her waist, and with a series of powerful stomps, shot towards Ying Li! She was going to crush this detestable person under her feet! Ying Li deserved to be trampled under her feet!

Ying Li stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, watching Lin Piaopiao's sword getting closer and closer, while Ying Li simply stood there quietly waiting for her to arrive.

Lin Piaopiao was secretly delighted. It seemed that Ying Li was nothing but a third-rate nobody, a complete waste of spiritual cultivation! He couldn't even dodge, yet he wanted to fight her. He was overestimating himself!

However, the next second, Ying Li's right hand flew out, spiritual power surged out, and the nine-section spirit whip suddenly appeared on her right hand! She nimbly and wildly danced in her hand, the whip shadows were numerous, and in just an instant, the spirit whip struck Lin Piaopiao's sword.

"Crack!"

The clash between spiritual powers ended with the shattering of Lin Piaopiao's sword!

Lin Piaopiao stared at the sword shattering inch by inch in her hand, her face suddenly falling. Before she could react, the nine-section spirit whip lashed out. "Ugh!" Lin Piaopiao cried out as the whip struck her chest unexpectedly. Her body was thrown backward and crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up blood. Her face showed an indescribable pain and panic.

"Piaopiao, are you alright?!" Jiang Yunlou asked hurriedly, a thought flashing through his mind.

How could she?! How could a good-for-nothing like her?!

Seeing Lin Piaopiao at a disadvantage and seriously injured, Jiang Yunlou was filled with rage. Even if it meant killing Ying Li, he would avenge Lin Piaopiao!

But before the spiritual energy could surge out, Ying Li's eyes suddenly turned red. Those fiery red, deep eyes were covered with blood vessels around the edges of her eye sockets, like a demonic ghost. Jiang Yunlou felt his whole body go limp, and his body leaned forward uncontrollably before crashing heavily to the ground, unable to move.

"I've said it before, Grandpa is my bottom line. If anyone dares to cross it, I, Ying Li, will make them pay the price!" Ying Li said coldly, her eyes turning icy as she looked at Lin Piaopiao and Jiang Yunlou. These two never learn their lesson; they had done the same thing time and time again since they were children. Unfortunately, she had no spiritual power at the time, so she could only let these people laugh at her.

But now that her spiritual power has been restored, no matter what effort she has to put in or what hardships she has to endure, she will become stronger step by step and make those who bullied her and insulted her grandfather know what's what!

Standing to the side, Xiao Xun was stunned by the scene. He had never seen Ying Li like this before. When she was little, she always hid behind Ying Wuyou and Ying Qishan, terrified at the slightest disturbance. When Lin Piaopiao and Jiang Yunlou insulted her, she had no choice but to cry and run away. And these two just happened to enjoy bullying her when no one was around.

Should that person still be divorced?

She stood there, proud and independent, her face frosty, her spiritual energy swirling in the wind, her hair billowing, creating an indescribable aura. Ying Li turned to look at him, and he happened to be looking at her too. "Xiao Xun, are you still coming?"

Ying Li smiled coldly, her face expressionless. Xiao Xun looked at her coldly as well. Finally, he pulled up the unwilling Lin Piaopiao with one hand and supported the limp Jiang Yunlou with the other. He snorted coldly and turned to walk towards Qingyue Manor.
