After Favorability Is Maxed

262 I’ll Just Take It as I Was Bitten by a Dog
As the current Bi Luo Mansion Master, although she was a woman, she was the leader of an evil faction with both ambition and strength. Just like how she had always been since she appeared, her negative favorability value toward Liu Yuan was definitely not because of love or hate.

The one who fell in love with Liu Yuan was Mei Sheng, and it had nothing to do with Netherworld.

… If you don’t count them as the same person (laugh).

Before Netherworld found out about Liu Yuan and Mei Sheng’s relationship, her impression of Liu Yuan was that he was ‘A mysterious traveler from the Bai Shan Court who was very powerful and had a close relationship with Bie Xiaoshuang and Wen Luxue’. Her impression of Liu Yuan was cold and only concerned about benefits.

She had even thought of using these two women to exchange for a Crossing Calamity stage expert to join Bi Luo Mansion. It was a good deal.

Both Bie Xiaoshuang and Wen Luxue had their own shortcomings in their roles as assassins. For example, although Bie Xiaoshuang was powerful, she was too weak inside. Wen Luxue, on the other hand, had her own concerns and obsessions. She was unwilling to give up her zither, which had already become her trademark. This was a great taboo for assassins who needed to hide their identities.

Although Bi Luo Mansion was an evil sect, it was not a demonic sect. It was just a gray area that wandered between black and white. It would not care about the life and death of the tool assassins it trained or what they thought.

However, they were more lenient to the cultivators who joined Bi Luo Mansion later and would only use them to produce value.

Therefore, both of them retired and became the teacher and instructors of the new disciples. As the Mansion Master, Netherworld was more than willing to give up on them if she could get more benefits from them. After all, there was no shortage of people who could replace these two positions in Bi Luo Mansion.

However, this plan was ultimately abandoned because Liu Yuan’s whereabouts were uncertain and his goal was unknown.

However, Netherworld had never thought that not only Bie and Wen, but even ‘herself’ had also suffered from the demon’s hands!

Thinking back to her previous plan, was she going to send herself out as well? However, Mei Sheng had already sold herself out…

One could only imagine how angry she was.

In fact, at the end of the day, she discovered the instability brought about by Liu Yuan.

Netherworld could not appear in the open all the time, so Mei Sheng was the only one who could pass on orders. Liu Yuan had basically seized half of the information channels in Bi Luo Mansion. If she were to ask Mei Sheng to give a false order, no one would doubt her!

Netherworld had originally blamed Mei Sheng’s betrayal on Liu Yuan’s bewitchment. She thought that as long as she killed him and told Mei Sheng his ‘true face’ before his death, she would change her mind.

In the worst-case scenario, she would wait for the person to die, and everything would be over. Netherworld could say that she knew Mei Sheng’s character very clearly. After a while, even if she was sad, she would not affect the affairs of Bi Luo Mansion because of her anger.

Without a doubt, Netherworld was decisive and ruthless. She could even ‘hurt’ herself without hesitation.

However, Mei Sheng was far more determined and smart in the face of love than she had imagined. She had even learned to hide and show weakness. Netherworld never thought that Mei Sheng, who was originally obedient to her, would ‘resist’, so she failed immediately.

In the face of such a traitor, Netherworld, who was clearly in a favorable situation, finally lost her image as the Master of Bi Luo Mansion. She let out an angry and sorrowful cry.

Liu Yuan looked at Netherworld, who had fallen into a state of incompetent fury, and said calmly, “Don’t waste your energy. Every weak point of your cultivation technique has been sealed, and I know all your weaknesses. If you want to resist, just forget it.”

“So what?” Netherworld laughed in anger. “Do you think you’ve won? The Blood-Burning Pill in your body should be about to burn your Qi and blood dry, and what’s next will be your lifespan. Even if the demonic Qi in your body can help you delay it for a while, it’s just barely hanging on to your last breath… I’m just waiting to see you grow old and die in pain.”

As she spoke, she took a few deep breaths and gradually regained her calm.

That’s right, she had already completed half of her plan. However, at the last step, she discovered that Liu Yuan had already turned into a demon, so she had no choice but to kill him in advance.

She had lost the chance to kill Liu Yuan with her own hands, so Liu Yuan’s death was already decided.

Even if the demon race only occupied the body, and the possessed person died, they could return to the abyss and be reborn. However, the people who turned into demons did not have this advantage. They were dead, and they would turn into a wisp of smoke and return to heaven and earth.

Liu Yuan saw the disdain and arrogance in her eyes once again. She lifted her chin and had a mocking expression that said ‘let’s see if you die first or I die first’. He could not help but squint his eyes. It seemed like the Mansion Master was still not particularly aware of her current situation.

He looked at the ends of his hair that had already started to turn white. The medicinal power of the Blood-Burning Pill was about to disappear. The out-of-control spirit power was wreaking havoc in his body, and there was a burning pain. He smiled and said, “That’s right, I’m indeed an arrow at the end of its flight. So, Mansion Master, you must be prepared to accept the wrath of a dying person… After all, when a person is dying, they can do anything.”

Netherworld’s expression changed slightly. Jiang Feng’s dissolute nature on the Singing Sword Ranking was already known by everyone. Her expression immediately turned into a cold smile. “I’ll just take it as I was bitten by a dog!”

“I hope that Mansion Master will keep her word,” Liu Yuan smiled and said.

Netherworld’s expression froze, but she refused to back down. She pursed her lips subconsciously and said coldly, “Are you planning to trample on Mei Sheng’s feelings like this?”

Liu Yuan’s gaze was calm. “What? Didn’t the Mansion Master plan to kill me? If you really think that Mei Sheng and I are truly in love, how could you not know how sad Mei Sheng would be? How could you trample on this relationship? And if I’m lying to Mei Sheng and coveting Bi Luo Mansion, why would I treasure such a tool?”

For a moment, Netherworld was speechless. Of course, she would not admit that she had made a wrong judgment, nor would she show weakness. She could only hate that this guy was really good at playing with people’s hearts and moving his lips.

She snorted coldly and closed her eyes. She was determined that no matter what happened, if she was lucky enough to survive, she would make this guy pay back a hundred times!

Liu Yuan did not plan to let her go. He picked up the rope in her collar and whispered in her ear, “Lord Mansion Master, in the following days, you must enjoy this… Please, please don’t lose your composure in front of your subordinates.”

As he spoke, he put the bronze mask back on Netherworld’s face.

Netherworld was stunned. Her vision turned black and her face turned cold. She felt the mask again and frowned. She looked at Liu Yuan through the mask and had a bad premonition in her heart.

‘Has this guy been burnt silly by the Blood-Burning Pill? With one Blood-Burning Pill, there was no way he could survive. Where would he get the ‘following days’?

Liu Yuan took over Ling Jie, who was fished up by Ling Hua – the poor future Sixth Junior of Danqing Palace had been thrown into the Spirit Transformation River by Netherworld. He was still hanging on by a thread because of the Blood-Burning Pill.

He seemed to have sensed the doubt in Netherworld’s heart and snorted with a smile. “Who said that the Blood-Burning Pill is incurable? If you want to extend your life, the spirit of the mountains and seas will do. If you want to recover, a drop of phoenix blood will be enough.”
