Supreme Emptiness
Chapter 615 Tea Performance

Strength was the most reliable thing she had.

The reason she dared to compete with the Demon Emperor’s daughter, Liu Li,

was simply because Liu Li, as the Demon Emperor’s daughter, enjoyed resources far superior to everyone else.

Yet she still wasn’t as strong as her?

It was precisely this sense of superiority in strength that gave her the confidence to rival Liu Li.

Now...

Had Liu Li caught up to her overnight?

This sudden realization was nothing short of catastrophic for her.

"How... how did you break through?"

Ling Shu couldn’t accept it.

Liu Li pursed her lips, "Of course, it’s because I have a good fiancé."

"He gave me a bottle of miraculous Spiritual Liquid as soon as we met."

"So I jumped levels and broke through."

"Sister Ling Shu, didn’t you say you wanted to guide me just now?"

Her tone was full of irony.

Guide?

Even Ling Shu needed someone to guide her!

Who on earth meets their fiancée and gives them such heaven-defying Spiritual Liquid?

Why hadn’t she ever met such a good man?

Hun Yuan could no longer concern himself with the rivalry between the two ladies.

He clasped his hands towards Jiang Fan and said, "Brother Jiang, do you have any more of that Spiritual Liquid?"

"I’m willing to exchange at a high price."

Liu Li immediately panicked!

Silently regretting that she had revealed such an important thing out of spite.

She quickly beat Jiang Fan to the answer, "No, no."

"I drank it all."

Are you kidding? That was the fetus protection medicine for her child.

How could she let anyone else have it?

Ling Shu’s eyes lit up.

Yes, if she could also get some Spiritual Liquid, wouldn’t she be able to surpass Liu Li in cultivation again?

As for Liu Li saying she drank it all?

They had been rivals for so many years; she could easily tell that was a lie.

Jiang Fan must still have some.

So...

She looked at Jiang Fan with a different gaze.

And softly said, "Brother Jiang, is there really no more of that Spiritual Liquid?"

Jiang Fan found it secretly amusing.

Just now, she had been targeting him left and right.

Now she started calling him "Brother Jiang."

He shook his head and said, "As Liu Li said, there’s none left."

The fewer people who knew about such heaven-defying Spiritual Liquid, the better.

But this could hardly deceive someone as astute as Ling Shu.

She sharply noticed that Liu Li became very nervous when Jiang Fan answered the question.

A smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

Indeed, there was more!

It’s just that since they weren’t very familiar yet, Jiang Fan didn’t want to give it to her.

So, was there even a need to spell out what to do next?

"Alright." Ling Shu showed a look of disappointment, then turned to envy and said,

"Brother Jiang is such a warm person."

"So considerate to Sister Liu Li."

"Ling Shu really envies that."

Hmm?

Liu Li frowned.

She looked at Ling Shu with more caution.

This woman.

Could she be trying to steal her man?

Having competed for so many years, she knew all too well about Ling Shu’s tactics.

Few men could resist after a few rounds of her tricks.

Today’s public display was enough; she also felt satisfied.

It was time to leave.

"Jiang Fan, I’m tired. Let’s return to the Imperial Court."

She wouldn’t give Ling Shu any chance.

Jiang Fan was speechless.

He had been so supportive of Liu Li just to see the Tiger Demon Emperor’s Relic Box?

And now that Liu Li was satisfied, she wanted to just walk away?

After a slight hesitation, he said, "Isn’t a demon elder supposed to come?"

"If we leave now before he arrives, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?"

Liu Li frowned again.

Why did Jiang Fan suddenly become disobedient?

Could it be because one call of "Brother Jiang" had taken his soul away?

But Jiang Fan’s reason wasn’t totally unfounded.

She suppressed her discomfort and said, "Then let’s wait a bit longer."

Ling Shu was delighted, her eyes shining with longing as she said,

"Brother Jiang, do humans always respect their elders like this?"

"Ling Shu really needs to learn from your Human Clan."

She seemed to be praising the Human Clan,

but in reality, she was praising Jiang Fan.

Such tactful flattery was a social weapon.

Even if Jiang Fan knew it was flattery, he wouldn’t be annoyed.

He nodded slightly and said, "It’s only proper."

Ling Shu’s eyes sparkled, "Brother Jiang is so modest."

"You should sit here later. The seat opposite is for our demon elder."

"He is sure to like such a humble and polite human as you."

She naturally arranged a seat for Jiang Fan.

And right next to it was Ling Shu’s seat.

At this moment.

It seemed she just realized Jiang Fan’s movements were awkward.

She exclaimed, "Brother Jiang, why are your hands and feet bound?"

She quickly stepped forward.

She tugged at the chains but couldn’t pull them apart.

Jiang Fan said, "No need to try. This is the Dragon Binding Chain."

"The key is with Concubine Yunxia."

Ling Shu showed a look of sympathy.

When she saw the chain had chafed Jiang Fan’s wrists to bleeding,

she held his hands and blew on them gently, feeling pained,

"Brother Jiang, how could the Demon Emperor do this?"

"He’s taken you as a Prince Consort, yet still keeps you chained."

"If only I were the Demon Emperor’s daughter, I would kneel and beg the Demon Emperor to set you free."

"I would never let Brother suffer like this."

Jiang Fan touched his nose.

To be honest, he rather enjoyed it.

Tea, she was truly tea.

But, gentle, she was genuinely gentle!

Bam—

Liu Li was so angry she slammed the armrest of her chair, and shouted,

"Ling Shu! Take your hands off him!"

Blowing on Jiang Fan’s wound right in front of her?

Snatching her man so blatantly?

And subtly mocking her for not pleading with the Demon Emperor, causing Jiang Fan to suffer.

Ling Shu was frightened and quickly let go, lowering her head in shame.

"I’m sorry, Sister Liu Li."

"I was just feeling sorry for Brother."

"I forgot there are differences between men and women."

Liu Li angrily said,

"Yes, yes, I’m just a jealous tigress, only you feel sorry for Brother, right?"

"You damn green tea!"

She stopped pretending and directly tore into her.

Normally, Ling Shu would retaliate tit for tat.

But this time, she silently lowered her head.

Tears streamed down, looking so pitiful.

Jiang Fan’s mouth twitched.

He said, "Liu Li, calm down, don’t be angry."

Ling Shu wasn’t green tea at all.

She was clearly a considerate and gentle good sister!

Seeing Jiang Fan protecting Ling Shu, Liu Li got even angrier, "Jiang Fan!"

"What do you mean?"

Ling Shu was secretly delighted, tea-like tone, "Alright, alright, Sister Liu Li."

"It’s all my fault, don’t blame Brother."

"He is already very pitiful."

"Don’t be fierce with him anymore."

This appearance of only she feeling sorry for Brother’s green tea.

Made Liu Li want to hit someone.

Was she going to keep being tea indefinitely?

Just then.

Footsteps echoed from the stairwell.

A guest had arrived.

Liu Li unwillingly hid her emotions.

Ling Shu showed a slight smile of victory.

This battle, a small win.

She looked towards the staircase.

But it was a human!

An elderly, hunched human!

Even Jiang Fan was surprised.

It was actually a human.

Could it be a demon who looked very similar to humans?

Upon closer examination, the person’s aura was indeed human!

How was the elder Ling Shu invited a human?

Confused, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but feel a sense of closeness.

Having been among the demon race for so long, suddenly seeing a fellow human naturally evoked the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

However, he suddenly thought of something.

His face turned grim.

He stared intently at the old man.

"Ling Shu, can we now bring out the Demon Emperor’s Relic Box?"
