Seeing Zhu Zhu's indifferent eyes, Han Luyao subconsciously took a step back.
After reacting, she saw Zhuzhu treating her like air and preparing to leave. Han Luyao was not willing to be ignored by her, and chased after Zhuzhu: "I am the queen of Wusu Kingdom, and you are also a citizen of Wusu Kingdom, how dare you do this? Talk to me?"
"So what about the Queen?" Zhuzhu thought Han Luyao was simply ridiculous. It seemed that so many years of pampered life had made her completely forget that this was the realm of cultivation. "Don't say that I escaped from the world the day I entered Tianyun Sect. Outside the secular world, I am not subject to the control of royal families in various countries. Even if I am still in Wusu country, you can't stand me. Don't forget that your confidence is only the title of queen, and I also have the identity of a golden elixir master, that is, Xiahou Taki doesn’t dare to embarrass me.”
This is the confidence of Jindan Zhenren. What she relies on is not a title obtained by relying on others, but the strength that no one can take away from her.
The title of queen is just a layer of exquisite but vulnerable wrapping paper in front of the absolute strength that can crush the entire royal family.
She was too lazy to argue with Han Luyao about her previous rudeness, but that didn't mean that she could use a false title to try to overpower her.
Han Luyao was shocked to pieces by Zhuzhu's contemptuous tone.
She thought that by becoming the Queen of Wusu Kingdom, she would be proud and proud in front of Chen Xuejiao and Zhuzhu when she saw them again.
Even if their cultivation qualifications are better than his own, so what if they worship the True Lord as their teacher? They still need to practice hard and boringly day after day and year after year.
How could she have the majesty of accepting worship from all directions after becoming a country?
But now?
She, the Queen of Wusu Kingdom, came to Tianyun Sect to visit relatives, but she could only wait in the steward's side hall of Chenhua Peak where the handyman disciples were. She was still unable to enter the inner peak as before.
That’s all.
But those who were not as good as me in the past have become better and better, becoming the Jindan Master that I never dared to imagine.
But he lived a lonely and unbearable life just for the sake of a title that was only in name.
Is the path she chose really the right one?
Han Luyao began to waver deep in her heart. If she still stayed in Tianyun Sect and practiced hard, even if she could not compare with Zhuzhu and Chen Xuejiao, she must have the help of her brother and spend more than a hundred years to let herself enter the golden elixir stage. no problem.
By then, even if she can't enter the inner gate, she can still be a golden elixir elder in the outer gate.
Even if she gets tired of practicing and returns to the Han family in Wusu, her father will treat her with great courtesy, and will act based on her expression, and will never dare to obey her.
All because she relies on her strength to speak, rather than relying on a nice-sounding honorific that cannot intimidate others.
At this moment, Han Luyao became more and more bitter as she thought about it. Her eldest brother had told her that she would regret it one day.
But she was immersed in her dream of becoming the future queen of Wusu Kingdom, and didn't take her elder brother's words seriously at all.
But she didn't expect that the person who knew her best was her brother, and in the end, his words came true.
She regretted it.
Especially seeing Zhuzhu who is living so well now and has become the real Jindan person.
Not only could she not see a trace of respect or fear in Zhu Zhu's eyes, she could not find her own sense of existence, only indifference and disregard.
It was as if the things he had worked so hard to obtain were a joke in Zhu Zhu's eyes.
A complete joke.
Han Luyao opened her mouth, but finally said nothing and made way for Zhuzhu.
Zhuzhu was a little surprised that Han Luyao was so understanding. It seemed that she was going to take back some of her previous views on Han Luyao.
Today, Han Luyao is much less energetic than when they first met forty years ago. After understanding that her identity as empress and empress does not apply in Tianyun Sect, she has learned to recognize the situation clearly and no longer uses her power to suppress others.
"Yao Yao——"
At this moment, Han Lufeng walked into Chenhuafeng's steward's side hall and was obviously stunned when he saw Zhuzhu.
"Fellow Daoist Ni is also here."
After coming out of the Hongmeng Secret Realm, Han Lufeng went into seclusion to enter the Golden Core stage. She just successfully came out of seclusion not long ago.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Han for entering the Golden Elixir Stage."
Zhuzhu could see at a glance that Han Lufeng's cultivation was at its peak in the early stage of the Golden Core, and was only one step away from the middle stage of the Golden Core.
It can be seen that he must have suppressed his cultivation for several years before, so he was able to reach the peak of the early golden elixir in one fell swoop when he let go of his cultivation.
Although it cannot be compared with someone like Song Yulou who crossed two small realms in one go.
But overall, Han Lufeng's qualifications are indeed good.
"It's just the early stage of the Golden Elixir, and it can't compare to Fellow Daoist Ni."
Han Lufeng has repaired the loopholes in his mental state and will no longer be affected by those external objects and people.
Although he is full of self-confidence now, he still thinks that he is really lacking in cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist Han is so humble."
Zhuzhu nodded towards him, "I still have something to do, so I won't keep you two brothers talking."
"Fellow Daoist Ni, wait a minute." Han Lufeng stopped Zhuzhu and said with an apologetic expression, "If my sister's words just now offended Fellow Daoist Ni, please don't take it personally."
Han Lufeng knew his sister Han Luyao very well. With her character, she would not be able to help but say something rude after seeing Zhuzhu.
Now Zhuzhu's strength is not as strong as before. If Han Luyao collides with her with words, Zhuzhu will become murderous towards her sister, and even she will not be able to save her from Zhuzhu's sword.
No matter how incompetent Han Luyao was, she was still his sister from the same mother. Naturally, he didn't want to see her seek death.
I can only apologize to Zhuzhu on behalf of my sister, hoping that she will be a grown-up and forget the villain's faults.
Zhuzhu glanced at Han Lufeng lightly: "Does Fellow Daoist Han think I am a person who kills indiscriminately?"
"...I didn't mean it that way." Han Lufeng thought to himself that he was really worried and confused. Why did he forget that Ni Sizhu's character didn't even bother to kill Han Luyao who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Then you shouldn't apologize for your sister on your behalf. After all, she is the one who offended me, not you. If I want to kill someone, it will be useless no matter how many nice words the people around her say."
After Zhuzhu finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the Chenhua Peak side hall.
"Brother, what does the surname Ni mean? Does she want... to kill me?"
Han Luyao turned pale with fright and was trembling all over. At this moment, she extremely regretted that she had spoken carelessly before and allowed her jealousy to force her to speak rudely and offend Ni Sizhu.
"Shut up, you are so old and you still don't know what to say and what not to say?"
Han Lufeng looked at Han Luyao with a bit of hatred, "Fellow Daoist Ni is Jin Dan Zhenren. From now on, when you meet again, you will either call me Senior or Zhenren. If you are still so insignificant, even I can't save you."
"Brother, I...I know."
It is rare that Han Luyao is less rebellious and unruly than before, and more obedient and obedient.
Seeing that she had listened to his words, Han Lufeng's face looked much better. After all, blood and family ties suppressed his anger. When he saw his sister with a vicissitudes of life on his face, he couldn't help but hate that iron cannot become steel:
"Yao Yao, why did you come all the way back to Tianyun Sect to find me instead of being a good Queen of Wusu? And what's the matter with your erysipelas? Didn't I tell you not to overdose on elixirs? Otherwise it will be counterproductive, look what you have done to your body.”
"Brother, please help me!" Han Luyao cried and knelt in front of him.
"You got up to talk. What happened?" Han Lufeng stepped forward to lift her up.
"No, if you don't help me, I won't get up." Han Luyao hugged her elder brother's thigh tightly, as if she was holding on to the last life-saving straw.
"Tell me..."
Han Lufeng clenched his fists while listening to his sister's cry.
"I told you a long time ago that you would regret it, but at that time you were immersed in your dream of becoming a queen and refused to listen to your brother. What about now? Do you still insist that your choice is right?"
Han Luyao shook her head: "But I have no way to turn back."
Tianyun Sect refuses to accept the handyman disciples who quit the sect on their own initiative to return to the sect to practice again.
In other words, she can never return to Tianyun Sect to be a handyman disciple.
And she was almost sixty years old. In the mortal world, there were many grandmothers of her age, so how could she still have the ambition to pursue the path to immortality?
So even though she had hit the wall, she could only grit her teeth and keep going.
"Do you think Xia Houlong has true feelings for you? I have told you a long time ago that while you were using him to gain the queen's favor, he was also using the Han family behind you and my status as a disciple of the True Lord. Help him stabilize the throne. Now that he has achieved his goal, you are naturally of no use. But for the sake of the Han family and me, he will not and dare not abolish your position. Why are you dissatisfied? ? Didn’t you already get what you wanted?”
Han Lufeng was puzzled, "As long as Big Brother is here, you can be the Queen of Wusu Kingdom for the rest of your life."
"But I am a queen in name only and not in reality."
The concubines in the harem all laughed behind her back that she was not favored by Xia Houlong and could only guard an empty house all her life. There was no difference between her Fengqi Palace and the Cold Palace.
How could she be willing to swallow this breath?
"Big brother can help you to be a queen safely for the rest of your life, but I can't help you get favor from Xiahou Long. After all, I have escaped from the secular world, and interfering too much in worldly affairs will not only be detrimental to my practice, but will also make the Xiahou royal family dissatisfied. By then, after they are angered by me, if they do anything to you, my eldest brother is so far away from you, even if he wants to save you, I am afraid he will be out of reach."
In other words, the eldest brother couldn't help her. Han Luyao was very disappointed:
"I never thought that I could be favored by someone like Xia Houlong for a lifetime, even just for a moment. I just want a child of my own."
When her children grow up, she can rely on them to obtain the more distinguished position of Queen Mother.
And with the eldest brother, the child's uncle, her child is the most promising person in the next generation to win the throne.
"Is there any magic medicine that can help me win a man in one fell swoop?"
Han Lufeng looked at her sister in astonishment: "Is it worth it for such a false reputation and a heartless man?"
"If I hadn't followed my eldest brother into the Tianyun Sect and opened my eyes, I would naturally think that everything was worth it, and I would be the most noble woman in the world."
"What about you now?"
"Of course - it's not worth it," Han Luyao smiled sadly, "But I have to walk the path I chose even if I kneel down."
"I can help you leave the Xiahou royal family and even the Wusu Kingdom in the name of death, and let you become a monk again." Han Lufeng did not want his sister to live in calculations and plans for the rest of her life.
"No, I no longer have the courage to embark on the path of spiritual practice."
Han Luyao shook her head and refused, "Brother, please take a look at the higher scenery for me!"
"It doesn't matter, you have been a stubborn child since you were a child. Although you seem to be calmer now, your temper is still the same."
Han Lufeng couldn't persuade her sister, so she took out a bunch of pills from her storage ring.
"There are detoxification pills to remove the poison from the body, as well as several pills to help you practice and heal your injuries."
"Isn't there that kind of fertility pill?" This is what Han Luyao wants most.
Han Lufeng explained: "The reason why you have difficulty getting pregnant is because you took too many elixirs to build your foundation. Those erysipelas accumulated in your body, making your body colder and colder. Naturally, it is not easy to conceive. Go back Take the Poison Elixir for some conditioning, and once the erysipelas is eliminated from your body, maybe your wishes will come true."
Only then did Han Luyao understand why she couldn't conceive her own child.
No wonder that when she and Xia Houlong first got married, they had sex with each other for a while just like other couples. She listened to Xia Houlong's words and took a lot of elixirs to cheer up and increase her cultivation while practicing together with him.
As a result, her cultivation level improved, but she felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier.
In this way, her erysipelas was bestowed upon her by Xiahou Long.
It could not be said that he deliberately made her take a large amount of elixirs, using the erysipelas to block the muscles and veins in her body, making it impossible for her to conceive.
Thinking of these possibilities, Han Luyao was surprisingly calm.
The most ruthless emperor's family.
She finally got it.
Xia Houlong wanted her to live alone in the cold palace for the rest of her life, with only the false name of a queen.
That also depends on whether she is willing.
Even rabbits will bite when they are anxious.
"Yao Yao, you..." Han Lufeng noticed something was wrong with Han Luyao and hurriedly stepped forward.
Unexpectedly, Han Luyao bowed her hands and said, "I'm fine. Thank you for reminding me. I will take these pills well."
"Are you leaving?" Han Lufeng could see her plan at a glance.
"I am now a member of the Xiahou family. I am no longer the carefree little girl I was before. I can't go out for too long. Brother, take care of yourself."
Now Han Luyao understands that the person who cares about her the most is not her so-called husband Xia Houlong who will grow old together, nor her father who seems to love her but is calculating how much profit she can make for the family behind her back, but her compatriots. Brother.
It's a pity that I was blinded by my desire for power and couldn't see how good my elder brother was to me.
Fortunately, she finally recognized the reality and would not spend her whole life in a daze.
"Take care, too. If Xia Houlong has any evil thoughts towards you, you must tell me as soon as possible."
Han Lufeng stuffed a few more flying notes into Han Luyao's hand.
"Brother, don't worry, I am no longer the same person as before."
Han Luyao looked much more determined. She suddenly changed her mind and did not want to give birth to another child for Xia Houlong.
But at the same time, Xia Houlong's other women couldn't even think of having his children.
She would let Xia Houlong see her as a queen with his own eyes.
