The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 156 - Five Great Divine Weapons

Chapter 156 Five Great Divine WeaponsOf course Hua Qiyue did not dare to take it. It was after all the Crown Prince’s possession. It was so rare that it was more precious than divine herbs. Naturally she did not dare to keep it.

Yet Huangfu Shenglin insisted. Hua Qiyue had no other choice. She smiled helplessly, “You’d better keep it by your side, Crown Prince. If anything’s up, you can contact me using its sound transmission.”

Huangfu Shenglin’s eyes brightened. “Very well. Only two of us can use this. It’s getting late. You’d better take an early rest.”

Huangfu Shenglin was about to leave. Hua Qiyue saw him out of the mansion and watched his carriage ride out of her sight. The pa.s.sers-by saw them and stared at her with angry, jealous eyes.

Back in the courtyard, the moonlight was lovely. Tianci had finished his cultivation and gone to bed. It was such a hot night. Hua Qiyue could only immerse herself in the new bathing pool in the backyard.

After Hua Qiyue had become a Princess, the Old Madame had treated her better. She even got a stonemason to build Hua Qiyue a bathing pool. She could enjoy herself without inhibition here in the cold winter and hot summer.

It was now hot summer. No servant was needed to light a fire. Hua Qiyue pushed open the backyard gate and make Lv Xin and the rest guard outside. The canopy of the bathing room was half-covered—in other words, half-sheltered by wooden planks and half-open.

However, this was Hua’s Mansion. Who would dare to hide here and peep at her? The outer walls of the mansion were still very far away. Her back was facing the back garden where there were quite a few workers.

Hua Qiyue gently took off her white robe, revealing her snowy-white shoulders. Her scarlet belly wrap was dazzling bright.

“Looks like… I must get Qiuyun to sew me a white belly wrap, or one in another color.”

Naturally, she recalled Yun Shimo’s words again. That fellow had such a sharp tongue. He never looked as calm and quiet as his exterior.

Hua Qiyue inched into the pool and slowly sat down. The cool water covered her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. Qiuyun and the others had sprinkled many petals in the pool. The entire pool permeated with a unique fragrance.

Lazily, Hua Qiyue immersed herself in the pool, caressing her black hair and remembering the day when Yun Shimo helped her drive out the Ice Venomous Insect.

Hua Qiyue shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the man’s smile. Unfortunately, Yun Shimo rarely smiled. Every smile of his was radiant and alluring. She had no choice but to recollect the circ.u.mstances of that day.

Hua Qiyue was a little annoyed with herself. After her bath, she returned to her room and s.n.a.t.c.hed time to cultivate.

She entered into the Mysterious World. The sky here seemed slightly dusky.

Hua Qiyue noticed that if Tianpi was in a bad mood, the weather here would be bad as well.

If he was in a good mood, the weather would be wonderful like spring.

His mood seemed to be pretty bad now.

Hua Qiyue looked in the direction of the ancient tree, under which he often sat. She saw Tianpi chewing the Ginseng with Nine Souls by the mouthful…

Hua Qiyue suddenly remembered it had been a long time since she brought him wine. Since she had just returned from Green Mountain Temple and later headed over to Feng’s Yard, the matter had slipped her mind.

Hua Qiyue hurried back and went into the kitchen, trying to see what leftover dishes there were.

Hua’s Mansion had roasted several chickens tonight. It was a favorite food of Tianci. Although the Old Madame did not like oily food, she had doted on Hua Qiyue and Tianci.

Usually, as long as it was something Tianci liked, Hua Qiyue would love eating it too. The Old Madame had decided to cook a nutritious meal after Hua Qiyue had taken days of vegetarian food.

So the Old Madame made the cooks buy some chickens and roast them. Even the servants enjoyed the food.

There was still half a chicken left. Hua Qiyue happily carried a flask of Peach Blossom Wine in her hand. Together with half the roast chicken, she re-entered the Mysterious World.

Seeing Hua Qiyue come in with the wine and chicken, Tianpi’s eyes brightened. He began to look a bit more spirited.

Hua Qiyue put the wine and chicken on a little table by the side. She was used to it and felt that it would be inconvenient without a table, so she brought in a rarely used table. She wanted Tianpi to drink more conveniently.

“This is the signature dish of our cooks. Master, you must enjoy it. I’ll go over to that side and cultivate.”

Hua Qiyue’s face was wreathed in smiles, her eyes curved like a crescent moon.

Tianpi stared at the sweet smile of Hua Qiyue and snorted. “Humph! So you know your place.”

Hua Qiyue was about to go over to the spiritual energy pond to practice, when she suddenly remembered a question. “Master, are there divine weapons in Tianyuan Continent? Why are most of the weapons in our capital spirit weapons and not divine weapons?”

Tianpi grabbed the roast chicken in one hand and chewed on it impatiently. He was looking like a hungry ghost starved for centuries.

“Of course there are… but not many. Divine weapons are divine weapons! You think they’d be scattered everywhere?” Tianpi glared at Hua Qiyue and a tinge of pride appeared on his devilish face. “Once, I had a divine sword… ”

“Where’s that sword…?”

Hua Qiyue asked hurriedly. She was desperate for a divine weapon.

Tianpi snorted coldly. “My divine sword was stolen before I got trapped here.”

Hua Qiyue was terribly disappointed. “But I need a divine weapon badly now. Master, where can I get one?”

“Aren’t you powerful enough? Why do you need a divine weapon?” Tianpi asked, staring at her perplexedly.

“If a Qi Artist possesses a divine weapon, his strength will increase exponentially. It will save me much energy and also look awesome!” Hua Qiyue was yearning for a divine weapon badly. She yearned for anything which could increase her prowess.

“There were five great divine weapons in the world. That was 10, 500 years ago… after 10, 000 years, I wonder how many more divine weapons have emerged. Divine weapons are spiritual weapons forged by Qi Artists in the Great Deity Realm. Thanks to these weaponsmiths, their level is extremely high. Their powers are immense.”

Tianpi explained nonchalantly as he downed the Peach Blossom Wine. A crimson hue flushed his demonic-looking face.

“The Five Great Divine Weapons are the Divine Sword, Flute with Phantom Blood, Silver-Boned Gauntlet, Drunken Flower Fan and Spirit-Melting Vase.”

“They had been forged by five artists in the Great Deity Realm. They were already very powerful at the Sage Level, let alone the Deity Level… therefore, if these five weapons end up in the hands of superior Qi Artists, you can’t get hold of them… unless I’m with you.” Tianpi spoke nonchalantly, sipping a mouthful of Peach Blossom Wine.

Hua Qiyue’s eyes started to glitter. “Are there very few Deity Level characters in this world, Master?”

“Of course. For millennia, there had only been five in Tianyuan Continent. They were like G.o.ds. Unfortunately… ”

Nostalgia clouded Tianpi’s eyes.

“Unfortunately, what?”

“What does a girl know? Go and cultivate by the side. Don’t disturb your Master drinking.”

Tianpi waved his hand impatiently. He clearly did not want to disclose the reason to Hua Qiyue. Hua Qiyue pouted and stalked away toward the spiritual energy pond.

“By the way, la.s.s, you ought to learn how to cook! If a woman can whip up a really tasty meal, it’s an honor almost divine.”

Tianpi suddenly called out and stopped her. Hua Qiyue looked back, staring into the eyes of a man who had gone through so much.

Tianpi’s look in his eyes was somewhat complicated. Even his facial expression was odd.

Hua Qiyue gave a start. She did not know what he meant. Right now, though, it was impossible for her to learn culinary skills. Her cultivation was the most important thing. She didn’t have time for such useless hobbies!

“Forget it. Pretend that I said nothing.”

Gazing into Hua Qiyue’s disdainful face which looked as if she was staring at an idiot, Tianpi waved his hand impatiently again.

Hua Qiyue ran into the pool and s.n.a.t.c.hed time to practice. Silvery white Spiritual Qi gushed incessantly into her body, making her more and more powerful.

“Heart of Fire!” Hua Qiyue shouted quietly. She summoned the lethal skill. Right now, she must practice these lethal skills to the Great Completeness.

A powerful spiritual energy gushed out from Hua Qiyue’s hands. Within an instant, it had turned into a flickering fire. Hua Qiyue shoved out the fire forcefully. The fire hit the ancient soaring tree like a streak of lightning!

Boom—

The towering ancient tree was instantly severed. It crashed heavily to the ground, plumes of thick smoke billowing from its ancient roots.

“A pity. If I’m at the Great Completeness, I might have incinerated the ancient tree!” Hua Qiyue sighed quietly and returned to her cultivation dutifully.

Although she did not achieve promotion that night, Hua Qiyue had become more proficient in the lethal skill “Heart of Fire.” Its power also increased twofold.

When she returned to the real world, she discovered that dawn had broken. Yet she was not feeling the least bit sleepy.

Hua Qiyue had not taken her breakfast. The moment Hua Qiyue washed up, a servant came in to report that a woman, Mo Yuning, had called.

Hua Qiyue was baffled. Was this woman asked by Hongyi to pester her?

Hua Qiyue asked for Mo Yuning to be brought in. The woman was in a light green blouse, her beauty refined and lovely to behold. Yet her expression was extremely solemn.

“Princess Jinghua, Yuning has a favor to beg of you!” Mo Yuning said agitatedly. “News has arrived from our sect that a divine weapon will emerge at the Five Demons Mountain. We must waylay the weapon there. But many I think will have sensed its strange aura. They say… that the Gnawing Devils Sect will be there too. We are understrengthed. Please accompany us, Your Highness. If you manage to seize the divine weapon, you will be its owner. We will not intervene.”

Hua Qiyue’s eyes brightened.

“Five Demons Mountain? You mean that mountain near to the Yuewu borders?” Hua Qiyue asked quietly.

“Yes, Your Highness. If you are interested, act now. I will rush to Feng’s Yard to inform Brother Ji and the rest.”

After these words, Mo Yuning quickly bid farewell to Hua Qiyue.

“Mom, are you leaving again?” Some moments ago, Tianci had walked over from the side hall. He was asking now, pulling Hua Qiyue’s hand.

“Yes, Tianci. Mom’s going to seize the divine weapon so that no one can bully you.” Hua Qiyue smiled and kissed his smooth forehead.

Tianci pouted his little mouth. “But Mom hasn’t brought me to shop for a long time.”

Hua Qiyue had no choice. To improve herself, Tianci could only be denied for the moment.

“Tianci, Mom will bring you shopping when I return, okay? I will bring you to Dad’s tower for the next few days.”

Hua Qiyue’s words made Tianci quite excited. The Spiritual Qi there was plentiful and he could reach the next level easily. And Madame Yun’s dishes were very tasty too. Although the cooks in the mansion were good, he still missed her cooking.

Tianci’s troubled mood disppeared at once. Hua Qiyue took him to Prince Nan’s mansion and let Yun Shimo take him into the tower. That was the safest place.

Only Yun Shimo and Yun Xuan could enter the tower. When Yun Shimo was not around, neither Madame Yun nor Yun Xuan would show themselves. Hua Qiyue did not know why. Yet she knew that Yun Shimo must have many powerful enemies himself.
