Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 601

The Great Mushroom King was astonished, “Don’t you think we’ve seen her somewhere before?”

“Little Black, you won’t believe it, but there was a nine-tailed fox girl character that looked just like her back in the Supreme Secret Realm,” Canglang Jun exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Junlin’s eyes flickered with a hint of intrigue.

He remembered that during their time in the Supreme Secret Realm, Luo Qingwu had used a female nine-tailed fox character that bore a striking resemblance to this Qingqiu Empress, just missing a unique aura.

Looks like the character’s prototype is drawn from here!

At this moment, Su Yinghuo’s beautiful eyes shimmered, sparkling with curiosity as she stared at the silver-haired youth.

“Ye Immortal Lord, I’d really like to know how you figured it out at a glance?”

Her soft and enchanting voice was melodious, giving one a tingling sensation.

Not to mention her superb illusion techniques, her skill in pretending to be Bai Xiaoxi was something she took pride in.

Any being she kissed could be replicated using a single fox fur, except they wouldn’t possess the original’s strength, but their aura and appearance had no flaws.

When her first trick was seen through, she could accept the reasoning, so she resorted to the same trick again, creating a second Bai Xiaoxi to deceive Ye Junlin, hoping to regain her pride.

Who would’ve thought, she’d be seen through again!!

Su Yinghuo couldn’t understand.

Logically, in such a situation, any cultivator would be careless and fall into the trap, yet Ye Junlin saw through the illusion with a single glance.

This left her both astonished and deeply confused!

Ye Junlin snorted, “How did I see it? Of course, I used my eyes!”

His tone was blunt, but he was indeed not wrong.

However, to Su Yinghuo, it had a very different meaning.

“Well, since you don’t want to say, I won’t ask anymore,” Su Yinghuo smiled.

She waved her sleeve, and a flat table appeared in front of them, along with a silver wine jug and two small porcelain cups.

Then, she gently lifted the silver wine jug and poured the immortal wine into both cups.

Every move of this palace-clad woman was elegant and composed, quite pleasing to the eye.

Extending a delicate, boneless jade hand, she gestured for Ye Junlin to take a seat, “Ye Immortal Lord, please.”

Whoosh!

Ye Junlin dashed forward, grabbed a cup, and instead of drinking, splashed the wine right onto Su Yinghuo’s face.

Su Yinghuo was caught completely off guard, doused in wine, her stunning face filled with shock…

“Hiss~”

Canglang Jun and the Great Mushroom King gasped simultaneously.

Ye Junlin seemed unfazed by his actions, calmly sitting cross-legged, staring straight at the palace-clad woman before him.

Regaining her senses from her shock, Su Yinghuo felt humiliated and angrily demanded, “Ye Immortal Lord, what does this mean?!”

Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from her body, nine fox tails thrashing wildly.

In that instant, Canglang Jun and the Great Mushroom King felt a chill run down their spines.

But Ye Junlin remained unperturbed, still composed, a mocking smile creasing his lips.

“The feeling of being played with isn’t very nice, is it?”

“Now, I’m returning the favor!”

He was deliberately making Su Yinghuo uncomfortable, especially since she had just pulled one over him too.

Upon hearing his words, Su Yinghuo froze, an unprecedented emotion brewing within her.

After all, she was the Qingqiu Empress, the most powerful female cultivator in the Immortal Realm, and numerous men admired her.

Even many Immortal Emperors treated her with politeness and almost a boot-licking attitude, trying to win her favor.

In such a starry-eyed atmosphere, Su Yinghuo felt very proud and superior.

She believed that so long as she was willing to back down, any outrageous behavior would be forgiven by any man.

Thus, even though she had played a small trick earlier, leading to some unpleasantness, she still thought Ye Junlin would indulge her and willingly sit down to chat and laugh.

In her understanding, this was perfectly normal.

As a result…

Ye Junlin not only failed to show appreciation but outright splashed her with wine!

This unexpected action shocked Su Yinghuo to her core, leaving her feeling utterly incredulous.

To be fair, her intention in having Ye Junlin come from so far wasn’t malicious; she just wanted to get to know him.

Su Yinghuo was curious about what kind of person this famous Ye Tian Emperor truly was.

She didn’t really consider if there was anything wrong with her approach!

Yet now, Ye Junlin’s retaliation made her realize her actions were misguided.

At this moment, recognizing her fault, Su Yinghuo tried to suppress her inner fury, her chest rising and falling sharply as her teeth gritted together.

She certainly couldn’t resort to outright violence!

Especially since not long ago, he had pulled off an astonishing feat.

That was when he faced off against Han Qiujian, the head of the Han family, suppressing the infamous Wind Thunder Sword Emperor with merely two fingers!

Regarding Han Qiujian, Su Yinghuo wouldn’t underestimate him.

–>

Dealing with such a powerful Sword Emperor would be incredibly tricky. Her innate charm technique would lose its effect against him, and her illusions could easily be seen through.

One could say, among Immortal Emperors, Han Qiujian is a top-tier fighter, while Su Yinghuo is just shy of being a first-tier contender.

Though she might win in the end, it would still be a close call!

If it weren’t for her, the position of West Ze Immortal Lord would’ve fallen into Han Qiujian’s hands!

However, Ye Junlin could suppress him with just two fingers, revealing strength that sent chills down Su Yinghuo’s spine.

This person was surely a true top-tier powerhouse!

For this reason, she dared not casually turn hostile anymore.

“Ye Immortal Lord, regarding the misunderstanding earlier, I apologize, and let’s consider it even,” Su Yinghuo said, regaining her composure, speaking solemnly.

“Pour it.”

Ye Junlin tapped his fingers on the table, his tone brooking no argument, signaling her to pour him wine.

A flicker of discontent flashed in Su Yinghuo’s eyes, but it quickly vanished.

Taking a deep breath, a charming smile appeared on her face as she lifted the silver wine jug, intentionally leaning forward, slowly pouring the clear liquid into the cups.

The wine sparkled, gleaming with brilliant luster, tracing an arc through the air before settling into the cups, exuding an intoxicating aroma.

Due to Su Yinghuo’s posture, the view of her bosom swayed enticingly, certainly eye-catching.

She was deliberately putting on a show!

Su Yinghuo carefully observed Ye Junlin’s facial expressions, eager to see his reaction.

However, to her disappointment, Ye Junlin remained unflustered, his gaze fixed and unwavering.

“How is this possible? Has my charm diminished?” Su Yinghuo thought inwardly, plunged into self-doubt.

Ye Junlin was fully aware of her little schemes.

Inside, he felt nothing but disdain.

Sure, Su Yinghuo was a stunning beauty with a knack for making men feel an insatiable urge to conquer.

But alas, he was someone who had weathered the storms of life; how could he be dazzled by such petty tricks?

Unless… it was something more thrilling!
