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

What exactly is Yao Fan? She possesses such powerful pupil abilities, and she didn't even set up a malfunction array, yet the Heavenly Dog Spirit Guide can obey her commands and launch powerful attacks. This ability is simply terrifying.

"They are Pupil Power Masters. They are born with absolute pupil power, able to command all spiritual entities to do their bidding, capable of destroying everything, and possessing basic mental control abilities, yet they can never learn spiritual arts. So, while they may seem like potential spiritual arts masters, they are fundamentally flawed. These people can control the spirits of heaven and earth through their pupil power, making them extremely powerful, but they usually don't live past thirty. However, this constitution is very rare. If someone manages to extract their spiritual power through special methods, they will die, and the other party will inherit this ability, eventually achieving great success and becoming a Spirit Lord."

Seeing Yao Fan's state, Nan Chuan, who had been silent for a long time, understood what was going on. He had intended to intervene, but seeing Ying Li come up with a solution, he had remained calm and observed from the sidelines. However, he hadn't expected to witness Yao Fan's deranged state, with his own parents dying before his eyes and the life of his beloved being threatened once again. He could no longer suppress his emotions and finally erupted.

"Girl, she probably doesn't even know she possesses this ability. Such an enviable yet terrifying ability, anyone would suffer if they had it. But her master, the one surnamed Zhao, definitely knows. And who knows if this kid next to you, Yi Bicheng, knows too. Hmph, I thought I was kind to the people of Tianfu, but I didn't expect that all crows in the world are black!" Nan Chuan snorted coldly, his eyes filled with suspicion and contempt as he looked at Yi Bicheng.

He despised those who appeared respectable but were actually hypocrites; he would kill any one of them he saw. However, since he was currently in the Bone Ring, it was best that Yi Bicheng didn't know about his existence.

"Hmph, who knows if he's eyeing Yao Fan while also coveting the Bone Ring in your possession? Girl, you'd better be careful!" Nan Chuan said warily.

Knowing that he was acting in her best interest, Ying Li didn't say much. She simply turned to look at Yi Bicheng and asked, "Brother Bicheng and Yao Fan have known each other for a long time. Do you know what kind of kung fu he and Yao Fan practice? How come they are so skilled?!"

Yi Bicheng looked at Yao Fan with a shocked expression, as if he couldn't believe that Yao Fan, who was usually gentle and vowed never to kill others, could be so powerful. He turned to Ying Li and said, "I didn't know either. When I was in Tianfu, I only saw Master Zhao bring her to the mansion a few times. It was just a fleeting glimpse, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew she had this kind of constitution?"

Yi Bicheng wasn't lying, otherwise Ying Li's mental control ability would have been useless, as she hadn't found any trace of Yi Bicheng lying.

"Let's take Yao Fan back first, and we'll ask her about the specifics after she's sober." After saying that, Ying Li muttered a few words, his spiritual power surged, and runes appeared under his feet. The gray wolf spirit stood behind him to prevent the celestial dog from doing anything rash if it saw them touching its master.

Although the Gray Wolves could resist the Tengu without setting up a malfunction array, Ying Li still cautiously set up the malfunction array to enhance the Gray Wolves' combat power and ensure that no other trouble would occur.

"Yao Fan, are you alright? Let's leave here first and then make some plans." Ying Li squatted down and looked at Yao Fan, who was slumped on the ground, and reached out a hand to pull her up, speaking gently.

"Get out of my way!" Yao Fan's face was murderous. She suddenly erupted when she saw Ying Li's outstretched hand. Her eyes were slightly red, as if she couldn't control the power in her body. Then, there was some pain in her eyes.

"I'll do it." Yi Bicheng shielded Ying Li behind him, stared at Yao Fan whose eyes were bloodshot, squatted down and said, "Miss Yao, everyone is safe now. Let's leave here quickly. If we wait for the head of the old mansion to arrive, I'm afraid no one will be able to leave."

Yao Fan listened to Yi Bicheng's words, her face showing pain. She bit her lip tightly, as if she was controlling the terrifying power in her body. After a long while, she finally collapsed to the ground and fainted.

When the Tengu Spirit saw its master faint, its eyes turned red. Looking at Ying Li and the other two, it mustered its strength and wanted to tear them apart!

The gray wolf appeared just in time behind the tengu spirit, and the two began to fight. The tengu spirit went berserk, and it took the gray wolf a lot of effort to subdue it without harming it. When the tengu spirit and the gray wolf spirit returned to their original forms, Ying Li saw that the gray wolf's belly was as thin as a piece of paper, and the wolf lay dejectedly at his feet, looking very pitiful.

Only then did she realize that no spiritual herbs had been offered to the gray wolf since she was brought to the old mansion. Several days had passed and she hadn't thought of it. Even though the gray wolf had eaten well and was in a good mood, if she had used a different spiritual herb, she would probably have been beaten to death.

"Brother Bicheng, do you have any spiritual medicine or anything you can lend me?" Ying Li was a little embarrassed, but Yao Fan had fainted, and Tian Gou was not in good spirits. If something happened to Gray Wolf, they might encounter some bad people on the road. It would be better to lend Gray Wolf some medicine first to ensure their safety, and she could repay Yi Bicheng later.

Yi Bicheng looked at Ying Li, then turned to look at the gray wolf spirit lying on the ground, and immediately understood. She took out an ant beast spirit pearl from her brocade bag and handed it to Ying Li, saying, "I think it's very hungry. Give it this, and it should be fine for a month or two."

Ying Li's eyes lit up when he saw the ant beast spirit pearl. This spirit pearl was made from the inner cores of a thousand ant beasts. Yi Bicheng was really generous. He hadn't even refined it himself, and it was just eaten by the gray wolf. He couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

"Here's one more. Take it. The battle between spirit masters and their apprentices is coming up in a few days. There's not much I can do to help, so consider this a token of my support." Seeing Ying Li's pained expression, Yi Bicheng knew exactly what he was thinking. He smiled slightly and placed the two spirit beads in Ying Li's palm.

Ying Li did not refuse, but generously said, "Brother Bicheng, consider this a loan from Ying Li. I will repay you double when the opportunity arises in the future."

“Okay.” Yi Bicheng looked at Ying Li’s serious expression and, knowing her personality, replied.

After speaking, Ying Li held a spirit pearl to the gray wolf's mouth. The gray wolf, which had been listless, suddenly brightened up upon sensing the rich spiritual energy of the pearl, sniffed it, and swallowed it whole. Ying Li watched as the wolf's stomach slowly swelled, even more so than when the gray wolf had stolen the spiritual medicine last time.

Seeing the wolf's bloated appearance, Ying Li was both amused and exasperated. In the end, he took both the wolf and the celestial dog into his Xuanjin.

They couldn't go to the original inn, so they had to find an inn in Zhangwang Town near Laoyue Town to stay in. After finally settling Yao Fan in, Ying Li looked at Yao Fan's indifferent sleeping face and couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman.

With this kind of fate and these kinds of parents, if the world were to give them any more malice, they probably wouldn't even live past twenty, let alone thirty.

After pondering for a while, Ying Li went downstairs and asked the waiter to make a pot of chicken soup. She also went to town to get some nourishing herbs before returning to the inn. After making the medicine and soup, Ying Li carefully fed it to Yao Fan. The other party drank quite a bit, so it seemed that he was not seriously ill.

Half an hour later, Yao Fan opened her eyes. Her eyes were slightly red, but she had returned to normal. When she saw Ying Li and Yi Bicheng guarding her bedside, she recalled the scene just now and broke out in a cold sweat. Her face was filled with pain. Her own parents had died in front of her, and she, who had never hurt anyone, had killed two people.

Her lips twitched, but she didn't know where to begin. Seeing Yao Fan's state, Yi Bicheng quickly said, "Miss Yao, don't say anything, just rest. Please accept my condolences for what happened earlier. Everyone has their own fate. The Yao couple committed too many evils, and this is how they ended up. If you continue to protect them, they will only kill you first, and then you will be killed by someone else. It will all be the same result. So, Miss Yao, blind kindness will only harm more people."

Yao Fan's face was pale. She listened to Yi Bicheng's words and fell into deep thought, her mind a jumble of thoughts. But for some reason, the thought that her parents would no longer cause her trouble made her feel somewhat relieved. She shook her head vigorously, a bitter smile creeping onto her lips.

Ying Li handed a cup of black tea to Yao Fan, saying, "Sister Yao, have some tea, it's very sweet."

Yao Fan took the cup in a daze, took a sip and it was indeed sweet to her heart. She looked at Ying Li and thought about her past, which had hurt many innocent people. She couldn't help but feel flustered.

"Sister Yao, I know I'm being a bit nosy, but I still want to ask, was the kung fu you just performed taught by Master Zhao?"

Holding his cup, Yao Fan was filled with doubt as he thought about the moves he had just used. Hearing Ying Li's question, he quickly replied, "No, Master usually says I have mediocre talent and has only taught me some martial arts techniques. He's even shown me some basic spiritual books, but my comprehension is too poor, and I can never learn them. But since Master saw that I could summon this celestial dog, he gave up the idea of ​​letting me learn spiritual books. This time, Master said there's no need to force it; just come and watch. There's no need for any fighting in the future."

Yingli was startled. Which spiritual master would not want to pass on his mantle to his apprentice? Moreover, this was an agreement made ten years ago. It was unusual that he could give up so easily.

"Sister Yao, does Master Zhao have any other disciples?"

“There’s another senior brother, Master Zhao’s son. He has extremely strong mental control abilities, but Master forbids him from getting close to me, saying it’s useless for cultivation. However, he’s very good to me. He would give me the stars in the sky if I wanted them. He’s even better to me than my own brother.” Yao Fan’s expression turned desolate as he thought of his own brother.

Yingli had an answer in her mind. Could it be that the man surnamed Zhao saw through Yao Fan's constitution and wanted to use her as a stepping stone for his son? She snorted coldly. If that were the case, then all the goodwill shown to Yao Fan was fake.

"Sister Yao, could you let Yingli take a look at the beginner-level spirit book? Yingli's spirit book is with Master, and he has forgotten some things recently. Could he borrow it to take a look?"

Although Yao Fan didn't know why Ying Li was bringing this up now, he still showed her the beginner's spirit book. After all, every apprentice of a spirit master has a spirit book, so showing it to Ying Li wasn't unusual.

After Ying Li took the spirit book, he flipped through it and his expression grew increasingly grim as he read on. Sure enough... it was fake.
