My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Lou Mu Yan recuperated in the carriage for five days and the sea of green mist in her body healed most of the dan’tian’s injuries. Her cultivation base also returned to Peak-Phase Sword Sovereign.

Practicing the Sorcerer’s Skill allowed her to hide or change the aura of her cultivation base at will, so the Wu Clan who accompanied her didn’t realise that her cultivation base had recovered.

In the recent ten days, Lou Mu Yan spent it all on recovering her cultivation base. Wu Ya occasionally came to find faults, but she ignored it all and she also coldly dismissed several young men who came to strike up a conversation with her.

That day, as usual, they found an open space to rest for the night, then the carriage was ready to continue its journey at dawn.

“After passing the canyon in front, we’ll reach Qing’zhou Prefecture.” The Third Elder looked not far away and said with a smile.

The First Elder furrowed his brows and said: “The terrain of that canyon is dangerous and it’s a place where robberies happen frequently. We must be careful when we go there.”

“Yes, we’ve travelled for so long so we can’t allow any accidents to happen on the last part of the journey.” The Second Elder nodded in agreement.

“Alright, tell everyone to be vigilant when we near the canyon. Only after passing the canyon will we complete most of our mission.” The First Elder just felt that the road was too peaceful, and there was a sense of indescribable danger.

“Yes!”

Wu Ya had her own ideas when she heard the First Elder’s words. She glared at Wu Nuan and Lou Mu Yan, then arrogantly got into the second carriage with the Elders.

Wu Nuan knew what she was thinking. If they really met danger in the canyon, the first carriage would definitely be the most unsafe.

Before Wu Zhuo got into the carriage, he was also called into the third carriage, where the goods were placed, by someone. His cultivation base was the highest among the younger generation of the Wu Clan, so he had to guard the goods carriages with others at key locations.

Wu Nuan and Lou Mu Yan entered the first carriage.

After walking for a short distance, Lou Mu Yan opened her eyes, looked at Wu Nuan, and asked with a smile: “A’Nuan, can you tell me about this place?”

Wu Nuan was surprised why Lou Mu Yan asked such a question, then guessed that she might be from some other place.

“Our area is the most remote and barren land in the northern part of the Human Realm. The Qing’zhou Prefecture ahead of us is a large trading city in a medium-large Kingdom.

“Our Wu Clan’s residence is in another smaller city. We can barely be regarded as a second-class family in that city.”

Lou Mu Yan thought for a bit and asked: “Are there many large, small kingdoms on the northern part of the Human Realm?”

“Yeah! There are countless kingdoms and distinguished clans in the Human Realm.”

Wu Nuan paused, then looked at Lou Mu Yan and asked curiously: “Mu Yan, are you not familiar with the Human Realm?”

“Yep! I was teleported to Guang’ling World from another interface, and I was seriously injured when I encountered spatial turbulence during teleportation.” Lou Mu Yan thought about it and told Wu Nuan.

She considered herself someone who could judge people quite accurately. After getting along with her for so many days, she knew that Wu Nuan was a trustworthy person.

Most importantly was that after observing for the past few days, she found that Wu Nuan basically had a cold attitude towards the Wu Clan. However, her alchemy talent was extremely strong and she was a hidden pearl in the Wu Clan, so she wanted to take Wu Nuan away.

Both Ming Xiu and her mother had extraordinary identities. If she wanted to be accepted by those close to them, then she must become more powerful, so she planned to gradually form a force on Guang’ling World.

The first person that entered her eyes was Wu Nuan, who was kind and transparent but not ignorant.

Wu Nuan stretched out her hand to cover her mouth in shock, and it took a while before she came back to her senses, “You’re a Sword Master who ascended? Then aren’t you at the Core Elemental Realm cultivation base?

“I heard that ascended cultivators all have a fixed teleportation reception platform for the human race. How did you appear on this barren land?”

“I’m considered an ascended cultivator, but something happened during the teleportation process which caused the spatial node to become incorrect, so I didn’t teleport to the receiving platform of the human race.”

Lou Mu Yan shrugged and said: “I also suffered serious injuries that caused my cultivation base to drop, so I’m not at the Core Elemental Realm.”

“Senior Lou, I…” Wu Nuan was startled when she heard her say that, showing a flustered look for the first time.

Lou Mu Yan immediately stopped her, “Wu Nuan, I regard you as a friend, so you don’t have to worry about the gap in cultivation base between us. You should treat me as before.”

“Alright.” Wu Nuan, after experiencing so many years of warm and cold human relations, could naturally see that Lou Mu Yan was serious.

It was rare for her to meet a close friend she could chat with, and she didn’t want to lose it because of restraint, so she relaxed.

Lou Mu Yan liked Wu Nuan’s unpretentious behaviour and continued: “Wu Nuan, tell me about Guang’ling World.”

“Alright.” Wu Nuan nodded and said: “Guang’ling World is divided into Four Great Realms—the Human Realm, Demon Realm, Devil Realm, and Sea Realm. It’s said that the Sea Realm is the strongest among them. I’ve never left here, so I’m not familiar with the situation of the Four Great Realms.

“The Human Realm is further divided into Four Great States of the East, South, West, and North. Each state is divided into countless large and small kingdoms and distinguished clans. Various forces are intertwined and among them, our Northern State is the weakest in overall strength.

“Although the Wu Clan that I was born into can be regarded as a small but respected force in the local area, but it’s not even considered a low-level clan across the entire Northern State.”

Wu Nuan thought for a bit and said apologetically: “I’m not taken seriously in the Clan, so many things that I know about the continent is through reading books. So maybe I can’t answer many of your questions.”

“That’s alright. I just want to know a general idea.” Lou Mu Yan lowered her head in thought, then raised her eyes and asked: “A’Nuan, do you know about the Ming Palace?”

“Ming Palace? Of course I know.” Wu Nuan nodded heavily and said in a whisper: “The Ming Palace is the top power of the Human Realm, and it’s also the only legendary kingdom in the Human Realm. All kingdoms and clans in the Human Realm are controlled by the Ming Palace.”

“Then are all the people of the Ming Palace surnamed Ming?” Lou Mu Yan continued to ask.

Wu Nuan shook her head and said: “No. Only people from the Ming Palace Royal Clan can be given the surname Ming. Except for those from the Ming Palace Royal Clan on this continent, other people aren’t allowed to use the surname Ming, even other people from the Ming Palace.

“Once someone’s found using the Ming surname in the Human Realm, the properties of the family would be confiscated and even their entire clan destroyed. No one dares to challenge the authority of the Ming Palace.”

Because the existence of the Ming Palace was like the royal family in the mortal world, imperial power reigning supreme, so whenever Wu Nuan mentioned the Ming Palace, there was fear and respect.

Lou Mu Yan’s expression didn’t change, but her heart was truly shaken. She had always thought that Ming Xiu’s status must be extraordinary, but she didn’t expect it to be so awesome.

She sighed inwardly. With her current cultivation base, it’d be impossible to get the recognition from the Ming Palace, and it might even negatively affect Ming Xiu.

In order to be able to be together well in the future, and stand side by side with Ming Xiu, she must have a trump card that would make the Ming Palace fearful.

Strength was still the most urgent need at present.

“This is a book of annals of the continent of the Human Realm. You can read it. A lot of things I know are from here.” Wu Nun took out a well-preserved book and handed it to Lou Mu Yan.

“Thank you!” Lou Mu Yan took it over without hesitation and read through it.

“You’re welcome!”

After an hour, Lou Mu Yan suddenly raised her head and asked Wu Nuan: “A’Nuan, there’s an ambush ahead and your bodyguard team aren’t their opponents at all. Do you want to bother about it or not?”
