My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

When Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu heard Xiang Yu Tang say that their mission was to compete for an opportunity with other clans and forces, they had a general understanding.

Ming Xiu cast a look of questioning at Lou Mu Yan. He was quite interested in this mission.

Lou Mu Yan blinked and nodded faintly.

For such a mission, them five Lower Immortals definitely must have some independent role, and she was quite excited.

Since they took care of the aliens on Guang’ling World and ascended to the Immortal World, they had remained quiet for too long. It was time to go out and do some activities.

“Consul Xiang, we will accept this mission.” Ming Xiu looked at Xiang Yu Tang with a smile and said.

Xiang Yu Tang wasn’t surprised. He had long expected that the two would agree to participate in the mission.

He had always been very accurate in judging people. Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu weren’t idle people. Although such a mission was dangerous, but it attracted the two of them even more.

“These are two mission contracts. If you don’t see an issue, then imprint your mental energy on them.” Xiang Yu Tang took out two bright red booklets and handed it to the two of them.

After three years, Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu had learnt a lot about the common sense of the Immortal World.

In the Immortal World, if Immortals wanted to accept missions or cooperate, they needed to sign a contract with their mental energy imprint. If one party violated it, they would be punished by the thunder and lightning of the Laws, which was very harsh.

The two took the booklet and read it over. With no problem, they imprinted their own mental energy.

“I don’t have any detailed information about the specific mission here. This mission is classified as confidential.”

Xiang Yu Tang spread his hands out, shrugging to the two of them and said: “The mission will be in one month. The detailed situation will be explained to you by the leader who’s responsible for the mission.”

“Yes!”

After the two bid farewell to Xiang Yu Tang, they went to the central city’s library of classics to browse through the materials.

The location of the library of classics wasn’t a secret. As soon as the two stepped outside of the hall, a few waves of unusually strong mental energy swept over them.

Ming Xiu immediately took out the authority tokens Xiang Yu Tang gave them.

Those mental energies swept over the token, then retreated automatically as if nothing had happened.

Lou Mu Yan discovered that the other party’s mental energies were very strong. Their cultivation base was at least at the level of Honoured Venerable. There was even a fluctuation of mental energy that was probably emanating from a Great Honoured Venerable.

Peng Ying Island’s outer island seemed to also have ‘crouching tigers and hidden dragons’, and shouldn’t be underestimated.

The door of the main hall opened automatically, and an elderly voice with a cold, sharp force sounded, “You are only allowed to read the classics on the first floor, and the access time is one month. You are not allowed to break into the second floor, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!”

“Yes!”

The two walked into the main hall. The room on the first floor was very spacious. There was a halo of light formed by arrays and restrictions at the deepest section, which was the door leading to the second floor.

The classics on the first floor were all divided into categories and occupied their own place. Countless jade slips were suspended in mid-air under the categories.

The two of them selected the categories they needed and devoted all their attention to consulting the classics.

A month passed by, and a sound wave rang in the ears of the two of them, and they walked out of the library.

“Yan’er, how’s your harvest?” Ming Xiu held Lou Mu Yan’s hand, his eyes filled with warmth.

Lou Mu Yan’s brows arched in a smile, “I’ve gained a lot. Besides the beast taming skills, I’ve browsed through several other specialisations and the ancient classics of the Immortal World.”

She paused and asked with a smile: “You should’ve gained a lot too right.”

“Mm, I was immediately enlightened and broke through after looking at a few grade 12 array diagrams.” Ming Xiu continued with a smile: “Except for the beast taming skills, I’ve also read all the other classics, but it’s a pity that there were only grade 12 specialisation classics.”

“Then let’s work harder in missions to gain contribution points to exchange for them.” Lou Mu Yan chuckled: “We originally planned to stay for a short while before setting off, but now it seems that our time on Peng Ying Island will be extended.”

Specialisation classics were very precious no matter where they were, and there were too few clans and forces like Peng Ying Island that directly used contribution points to exchange for access.

Of course, the most precious specialisation classics of Peng Ying Island definitely wouldn’t be public, but she believed that as long as they could check all the specialisation classics in the current five-level library, then it would definitely benefit them a lot.

“Mm, either way, we have plenty of time.” Ming Xiu curled his lips and smiled.

They weren’t in a hurry to find Old Man Tian Xuan. The most important thing was to improve their cultivation base and strength.

As soon as the two returned to the cave, they were stopped by the sloppy elderly man in charge of the caves.

“Little girl, stinky boy, you two sure have been out for a really long time this time!” The sloppy elderly man slowly walked up to the two of them.

Lou Mu Yan’s lips twitched. For a cultivator, a month was just a snap of the fingers. This elderly man just loved to exaggerate the facts.

“Old man, don’t tell me you finished drinking all your wine.”

The sloppy elderly man grabbed his hair, walking up to Lou Mu Yan with a flattering expression and said with a smile: “Can’t be helped, girl, the spiritual wine you brew tastes so good. I couldn’t hold it back and drank it all. How about you make a few more pots for me.”

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “Can’t you drink it slowly, I’m busy recently.”

She was speechless towards this shameless stinky old man. Ever since the fragrance of spiritual wine she brewed was smelled by this elderly man whose nose was even more sensitive than a dog’s, she was completely entangled by him.

She couldn’t beat the other party, and even if she scolded him, the other party would turn a deaf ear—he was simply a huge scoundrel.

With that flattering look on his face, where was there a trace of a master…

“What do you need to do? Tell this old man, I’ll help you solve it.” The sloppy elderly man patted his chest in a righteous manner and said: “There’s no one on the outer island who dares not give me face.”

“…” Lou Mu Yan glared at him angrily, “Ming Xiu and I accepted a mission and are going out for a while.”

Although this stinky old man had a high cultivation base, but he was extremely poor. He used all the celestial stones he had to buy spiritual wine and drank it all.

In the central city, many cultivators from the islands were indeed respectful when they saw him, but that was all. Those who could make a detour would definitely make a detour and were most afraid of seeing him.

To think he boasted about helping her solve her problem. Who knew how far away others would hide when they saw him.

“Doing a mission?” The sloppy elderly man scanned the two of them, then smiled thoughtfully: “You two should indeed go out and complete some dangerous missions for experience.”

“How rare that you actually care about this. I thought you only saw wine besides wine.” Lou Mu Yan said with a half-smile.

The sloppy elderly man rolled his eyes, “I just care about you two, aren’t you the same as wine to me.”

Lou Mu Yan couldn’t hold back a smile, took out an interspatial ring and tossed it to the elderly man, saying: “This is the last of the stock I brewed, drink it sparingly.”

Although the elderly man was poor and slovenly, but for some reason, they got along well, and he would often give them pointers on their cultivation. She was never stingy with those she approved of.

The sloppy elderly man took the ring with a smile, took out a piece of a rusty iron sheet from his waist and tossed it to Lou Mu Yan, “Keep this treasure well, maybe you’ll use it in this mission.”

Lou Mu Yan took the iron piece with a forehead of creases. She really couldn’t tell what kind of treasure it was, but she still put it away.

“Old man, we’ll be returning to prepare first.”

The sloppy elderly man waved his hand and said: “Go, go, this old man will go try your newly brewed wine.”

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu looked at each other and saw the helpless look in each other’s eyes, then turned and left.

After they left, the sloppy elderly man played with the ring in his hand with a deep and meaningful smile on his lips.
