My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

As soon as the light blue flame in Bai Fei Yao’s hand appeared, all the superiors present recognised it.

“The flame of that Bai girl is the Beast Flame of the Ice Feather Beast right.” The Headmaster of the Sword Sect tapped the table gently.

The flames that Sword Masters could control in this world could be roughly divided into three categories: the Elemental Energy flames Sword Masters possessed themselves, the Beast Flame of Demonic Beasts with a Natal Spirit Flame, and Spirit Flames that were naturally derived and born from this world.

Among them, the Spirit Flame was the strongest, then the Beast Flame, then Elemental Energy flames were last.

A Headmaster of the Heavenly Secret Palace smiled and said: “That girl had a lot of good things.”

What’s the big deal about a mass of an ice attribute Beast Flame? He knew that Bai Fei Yao still had a trump card.

“That Bai girl is Senior Bai’s blood-related granddaughter. If the favoured daughter of Heaven doesn’t have good things, it’d be unbelievable to hear that.” The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect was obviously more optimistic about Bai Fei Yao in the Alchemy Competition.

“Bai Fei Yao is playing dirty tricks to Lou girl.” Huo Ling Long narrowed her eyes, and a dangerous light rose in them.

Bai Fei Yao controlled the Beast flames to affect Lou Mu Yan’s Elemental Energy flame, and the referees and superiors of the Sects could see it as long as they weren’t blind in their hearts.

Headmaster Feng’s face revealed a look of concern, “The so-called favoured girl of Heaven sure isn’t much.”

She used such underhanded and despicable methods when the match only just started. She really was losing the face of that Sword Saint grandfather of hers.

The Eight Extremes Sect also had a Sword Saint Ancestor, and the strength of their cultivation base wasn’t much inferior to that of Ancestor Bai of the Heavenly Secret Palace, so Headmaster Feng and Huo Ling Long wasn’t afraid of Bai Fei Yao’s paternal grandfather.

The Eight Extremes Sect was a Sect famous for being protective of their people—the classic ‘if you bully the young, here comes the old’.

If Ancestor Bai came to seek revenge just because Headmaster Feng and Huo Ling Long said a few words about the junior, then the Ancestor of the Eight Extremes Sect wasn’t a vegetarian either.

“There’s no rule that dictates such a means can’t be used in the Grand Competition of the Six Sects. If Lou Mu Yan fails to refine the pills because of her unstable Elemental Energy flames, then it’s also because her skills are inferior to others.” The Vast Mountain Sect’s Headmaster said as if speaking fairly.

There had never been a rule in the Alchemy Competition that didn’t allow others to use stronger flames to suppress the opponent to withdraw from the competition. Losing only meant that their skills were inferior to others. There wasn’t a place for the Eight Extremes Sect to complain about this issue.

The Headmaster of the Alchemy School of the Heavenly Secret Palace furrowed his brows and his voice was cold, “Headmaster Feng, please watch your words. As daoist friend of the Vast Mountain Sect said, if Lou Mu Yan failed in refining her pills, it’s also because her flame is slightly inferior, Fei Yao didn’t do anything wrong.”

Bai Fei Yao’s little tricks were nothing to them. Lou Mu Yan could use tricks if she had the ability too.

“Then you mean to say that if Lou girl fights back with the same method, and if Bai Fei Yao loses, it’s also because her skills are inferior to others?” Huo Ling Long asked sharply with a smile.

The Headmaster of the Heavenly Secret Palace’s Alchemy School knew Bai Fei Yao’s trump card, so he nodded: “Naturally.”

“Sure. That’s what you all said.” Huo Ling Long’s smile was filled with mockery and said no more.

However, her words made the several Headmasters present feel a bad premonition. Did Huo Ling Long actually still expect Lou Mu Yan to use firepower to fight back?

On the competition arena of the Alchemy Competition, the flames in Lou Mu Yan’s pill cauldron weren’t only suppressed and reduced, they even looked as if it would be extinguished by that icy aura.

She swept over Bai Fei Yao’s Beast Flame, then enhanced her Elemental Energy flame without any expressions. Then she condensed her Mental Energy and transformed it into a shield to protect the flame within.

Soon, the Mental Energy shield established by Lou Mu Yan isolated the cold Beast Flame outside, and the flame in the cauldron returned to normal.

Bai Fei Yao also discovered Lou Mu Yan’s movements. She didn’t know that Lou Mu Yan’s Mental Energy could even be solidified, and she had always wondered why Lou Mu Yan’s pill cauldron hadn’t exploded yet.

The two were both refining Spiritual Herbs, and Lou Mu Yan slowed down this time, so Bai Fei Yao actually started to condense pills first.

Bai Fei Yao’s gaze revealed a slightly smug look. Lou Mu Yan was this slow because she was afraid of her Beast Flame right?

For the time being, she didn’t do anything to suppress Lou Mu Yan’s Elemental Energy flames anymore, but instead accelerated the speed of condensing pills.

Lou Mu Yan was now a major step behind her. As long as her pills were refined, she could suppress the opponent’s Elemental Energy flame with her Beast Flame, making Lou Mu Yan unable to condense pills at all.

With such a thought, she couldn’t help but smile with joy.

Lou Mu Yan changed from her previous efficiency to refining Spiritual Herbs lazily.

Her actions made the pupils and superiors present all think she was suppressed by Bai Fei Yao’s Beast Flame and dared not to speed up.

The pupils of the Heavenly Secret Palace all revealed a proud look—their favoured daughter of Heaven was the best.

On the contrary, the Eight Extremes Sect’s pupils all appeared nervous and worried. If Bai Fei Yao’s Beast Flame kept suppressing Lou Mu Yan, then wouldn’t Lou Mu Yan be unable to enter the top three?

While the two were fighting with skills, Wei Yu used Lou Mu Yan’s method to condense pills earlier, and five Advanced-Level Grade 5 pills were finished before the two succeeded.

Time passed bit by bit, and Bai Fei Yao’s pill cauldron exuded a faint medicinal fragrance as well, which was a sign that the pills were about to condense from its rudimentary form.

At this time, it wasn’t only Bai Fei Yao who had a joyous expression, but even the Headmasters and pupils of the Heavenly Secret Palace.

Then looking at Lou Mu Yan, she was still in a state of condensing pills, and was still very far from finishing her pills.

Suddenly, the flames in Lou Mu Yan’s pill cauldron burst out with mighty power and wrapped her entire pill cauldron.

It was necessary to change the high flame to a low flame when finishing pills, so the firepower of Bai Fei Yao’s pill cauldron was very small, but Lou Mu Yan’s flame came too fast and too strong.

The small fire in Bai Fei Yao’s pill cauldron was affected by the large flame released by Lou Mu Yan and was instantly extinguished.

Bai Fei Yao revealed slightly panic, but quickly adjusted her mood and used the Beast Flame to roast the pill that was just about to be finished.

It was just a pity that the forming of the pills was the most important part of the entire alchemy process. Although the time between the fire extinguishing and it being re-ignited was short, but it was enough to affect the forming of the pills.

[PU!!]

A muffled sound was heard, and the sound of the pill exploding came from Bai Fei Yao’s pill cauldron. A scorched smell accompanied the muffled sound.

Bai Fei Yao’s pill exploded, and the refining of the Advanced-Level Grade 5 pills failed.

“You did it on purpose.” She turned to look at Lou Mu Yan with extreme anger on her face.

Her performance this time was exceptional. She would occasionally fail in refining Advanced-Level Grade 5 pills, but today, everything went so smoothly, yet at the final key point, Lou Mu Yan completely destroyed it.

Lou Mu Yan played with the flame in the pill cauldron as she refined her pills with a leisurely appearance and narrowed her eyes at Bai Fei Yao, chuckling and said: “This is called treating others as they had treated me, you have any problems with that?”

“You…” Bai Fei Yao’s expression was flushed, not knowing whether she was too ashamed or angry.

Such a change also stunned everyone present—shouldn’t it be Lou Mu Yan failing? How did it become Bai Fei Yao?

The several faces of the Heavenly Secret Palace’s Headmasters and Elders sank with deep pity in their eyes. Bai Fei Yao was only one step away from success.

“Why’re your faces so dark!” There was a gentle smile on Huo Ling Long’s glamorous face, her mood soaring, “You all said it before, this is called having inferior skills!

“Giggle…” She covered her mouth with style and laughed, “Even someone like me who doesn’t know Alchemy can see that the pill was only one step away from finishing. What a pity!”

The faces of the several Headmasters and Elders of the Heavenly Secret Palace sunk and were dark. They really wanted to throw Huo Ling Long out of the competition field, what should they do?
