My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Lou Mu Yan’s actions came so suddenly that no one expected it, and many pupils of the Heavenly Secret Palace were angered.

But because it was Bai Fei Yao who made the first move, the pupils of the Heavenly Secret Palace couldn’t scold Lou Mu Yan even if they felt that Lou Mu Yan was shameless.

The several Headmasters of the Heavenly Secret Palace were angered by Huo Ling Long’s ridicule, but they couldn’t argue back. After all, having inferior skills was something they said first.

Lou Mu Yan looked at Bai Fei Yao, who had resentment in her eyes, with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Young Miss Bai, you won’t continue?”

“No need for Junior Sister Lou to worry.” Bai Fei Yao was vomiting blood inwardly right now, but she still kept a kind and pure smile on her face.

Lou Mu Yan also admired this woman’s forbearance skills. No wonder she was so popular in the Heavenly Secret Palace. Her scheming was too deep, and her superficiality was so well done.

Bai Fei Yao knew inwardly that arguing with Lou Mu Yan was useless. What she needed to do now was to defeat the other party and regain the limelight that belonged to her.

She immediately took out a set of Spiritual Herbs that had been prepared long before and began to refine again. During the refining process, she still used the cold aura of the Beast Flame to invade Lou Mu Yan’s pill cauldron.

Except, when the cold aura had only just approached, suddenly, a burst of pill fragrance overflowed from Lu Mu Yan’s cauldron, and the pill cauldron made a cheerful humming sound.

Lou Mu Yan removed the flame that enveloped the entire cauldron, and five full, soft, silver-white pills flew out of the cauldron, then fell into the pill bottle on the table.

“How—How did you form your pills so quickly?” Bai Fei Yao couldn’t resist asking while refining her Spiritual Herbs.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled and played with the porcelain bottle in her hand, saying: “You think I only have one way to improve the efficiency of refining pills? Just now, wrapping the pill cauldron with a large flame is also a method to speed up refining pills.

“Do you think I’m going to give you a second chance to try to destroy my Elemental Energy flames?” Lou Mu Yan smiled beautifully and said slowly.

Bai Fei Yao took a deep breath, suppressing the already panicked emotions in her heart and concentrated on refining the pills.

Lou Mu Yan was obviously not going to let her go. She looked at Bai Fei Yao lazily as she leaned her chin on her fist.

After a while, when Bai Fei Yao was about to succeed in refining a very difficult Spiritual Herb, suddenly, the flame that should’ve turned into a low flame in the pill cauldron burst out and turned into a large flame.

[PU!!] A muffled sound came from the cauldron—the refining failed.

With a glance to the side, she saw Lou Mu Yan sitting on the table originally used to refine pills, dangling her legs and leisurely playing with a ball of fire in her hands.

“Aiya! Sorry. When I was playing with the fire just now, the power of the flame overflowed too much and affected your Beast Flame!” Lou Mu Yan said apologetically, but there was a carefree, playful expression, which showed that she did it on purpose.

Then everyone watched a bright red fireball being tossed back and forth in her hand, and that manic power that erupted from the fireball was obviously superior to even Bai Fei Yao’s Beast Flame.

Many pupils present couldn’t resist twitching the corner of their lips—wasn’t she afraid that playing with fire would burn her? Such a fierce flame yet she actually played with it so smoothly, what an abnormal monster!

Sword Masters with the Fire Elemental Energy, Beast Flame, or Spirit Flame could use those flames to refine pills, smith, battle, and the like, but very few people dared to play with fire in such a carefree way, unless their fire control ability had already reached the level of doing with it as one pleased, otherwise they’d definitely play themselves to death.

Obviously, from the fire control Lou Mu Yan used to refine pills and talismans, she was very good at controlling her flames.

Now that she was constantly playing with fire in her hands, it meant that she had reached the realm of doing with it as she pleased. Such a realm was something even beyond the reach of ordinary Sword Saint powerhouses.

The evil in Bai Fei Yao’s eyes flashed past quickly, and her voice was cold, “Why are you still staying on the competition arena even after you finished refining pills? It’s better to go down to rest and wait for the second match.”

Lou Mu Yan blinked, turned to look at the referee and asked: “Did the Alchemy Competition’s rules stipulate that once you finish the first match, you can’t remain on your place on the competition field? I see that Senior Brother Wei and the others didn’t leave either.”

There were deep creases on the referee’s forehead and he smiled shyly: “Of course there’s no such rule.”

This Lou Mu Yan’s vengefulness sure was deep. It seemed that she wasn’t prepared to let Bai Fei Yao go at all!

But they couldn’t say anything to blame her. After all, it was Bai Fei Yao who made the first discreet move, and they could only sigh that she suffered from her own actions.

“Young Miss Bai, don’t worry about me, just continue. We’re still waiting for you to finish then continue the competition. Your time can be wasted, but our time is very precious.”

The fireball in Lou Mu Yan’s hand turned into a docile fire serpent that wrapped around her fingertips, making people’s scalp tingle.

Bai Fei Yao clenched her hands tightly and forcefully held back the anger. She closed her eyes, ignored Lou Mu Yan’s giggling, and took out a set of Spiritual Herbs to refine again.

The viewing seats of the superiors.

Hearing Lou Mu Yan’s lazy but punch-worthy words, the several Headmasters of the Heavenly Secret Palace all appeared gloomy. This Lou Mu Yan was so bad.

Not only did she deliberately destroy Bai Fei Yao refining pills, but she also used her words and attitude to affect Bai Fei Yao’s state of mind—shameless!

But what could they do? It was them that said things like how it was based on their own abilities and things about inferior skills. Now they could only swallow their teeth even when it had been knocked out.

However, what made them angrier was still coming up.

This time, during Bai Fei Yao’s pill refining process, she activated a layer of Elemental Energy shield to envelop herself and the entire alchemy table. Although doing so would consume a lot of Elemental Energy, but it could also prevent Lou Mu Yan from playing dirty.

Although she was constantly wondering why Lou Mu Yan’s Elemental Energy flame was so powerful, but she was certain that it wasn’t a Beast Flame or Spirit Flame.

During Bai Fei Yao’s refining process, Lou Mu Yan indeed minded her own business and didn’t play tricks.

After a period of time, a trace of pill fragrance began to flow from Bai Fei Yao’s pill cauldron. The Headmasters of the Heavenly Secret Palace were extremely nervous, but also very excited—this time it would succeed right.

Yet who knew that the fire snake in Lou Mu Yan’s hand suddenly turned into two fire snakes playing and chasing each other. They flew out of the battle stage, circling it a few times.

[PU!!] While the other pupils curiously watched the fire serpents chasing and playing around, there was another muffled sound from Bai Fei Yao’s pill cauldron.

When the pill condensing was only one step away from fully taking shape, Bai Fei Yao’s pills exploded because of the sudden increase in firepower.

Most importantly was that this time, even she wondered why her own firepower increased so much for no reason. She clearly activated the Elemental Energy shield and Lou Mu Yan’s flames were also only chasing and circling above the battle stage.

And she didn’t feel the impact of the other party’s flames on her Beast Flame like the previous couple of times either. Then why?

She had absolute confidence in her fire control skills. It was impossible for such a mistake to occur at the critical moment of condensing the pill to form the final product. Then there was only one possibility—it was Lou Mu Yan playing tricks again.

She turned her head and glared fiercely at Lou Mu Yan, “What did you do again?”

Lou Mu Yan blinked innocently and said: “What did I do? What does Young Miss Bai mean? You failed to refine it yourself, what does it have to do with me!”

“If you didn’t do anything, then why did the flame increase inexplicably when I was in the final step of condensing the pills?” Bai Fei Yao said with a cold expression.
