Chapter 496 - Yeah, I’m Taunting You, What Can You Do About It?

“Are you here to see me?” asked Ling Chuxi, looking the veiled lady in her eyes with her mind on full guard. Having suffered a small loss under the lady’s Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique before, Ling Chuxi would definitely not make the same mistake twice.

“So, you are called Ling Chuxi,” said the lady. Her gaze was proud, as if all living creatures in the world were submitted in servitude beneath her feet.

“You sought me out just to talk such nonsense?” asked Ling Chuxi in disdain. The other party had clearly looked into her identity already, so such a question was practically bullsh*t. She really disliked this lady’s gaze. In the past, the fifth princess had used this same haughty gaze to look at her and so had Lan Xinyu. However, they were both beaten by her into becoming pig’s heads. As for Duan Qingchou and others of the same kind of character, they didn’t even have the chance to become pig’s heads.

“Do you know my identity?” asked the lady, still maintaining that high and mighty expression on her face.

“Cold Moon Palace,” replied Ling Chuxi.

“Since you already know, then you can just leave. I can act as though you were never here. If what you want is the Crisis Reverse Pill, I can also give that to you,” said the lady proudly. That gaze she had as she said this was as though she was bestowing onto Ling Chuxi a great grace. However, it looked like she had a bit of intelligence as well, to have actually guessed the real reason Ling Chuxi had come to Rejuvenation Valley.

“Just because you are from Cold Moon Palace, when you say ‘leave’ then I have to leave? Or are you saying that I should pity you and give you a chance therefore I should leave?” asked Ling Chuxi with a laugh. This lady had really thought of herself as someone important, acting as if the entire world had to bow to her and act as her servants.

If this exchange had taken place in the past, knowing the force of the sect behind her, perhaps Ling Chuxi would truly have considered her suggestion. She was here to beg for the pill and not to cause trouble after all. With her current cultivation level, she was still unable to put up a good resistance against these sects. However now, after noticing that the Golden Pill Sect was related to her own origin, Ling Chuxi had a strong determination to win over the set of medical skills in the Qiu family’s hands.

“Pity?” the lady used a very odd gaze to look at Ling Chuxi then. As the granddaughter of the palace master of Cold Moon Palace, she had been spoilt and cossetted and had never heard the word ‘pity’ uttered in regard to her, therefore had definitely never thought of how such a word would relate to her in any way at all.

“I have heard of the consequences of using the Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique. Actually, I do indeed pity you a little. However, I think that you also don’t need the pity. When your sickness is not acting up, you are still quite normal,” said Ling Chuxi seriously.

“What are you saying?” A hint of anger appeared in the lady’s cold eyes and the air surrounding her turned even colder.

“Oh? Isn’t that the case? Then, maybe I got it wrong. So sorry. I heard that using the Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique could make a person’s mind fall into chaos and I thought you suffered from such a side effect too. It turns out you don’t. Truly. I apologize. Oh that’s right, do you know what it means to have your mind fall into chaos? In layman terms, it means you’ve gone crazy. If you don’t understand, I can explain to you. Going crazy is when…” Ling Chuxi looked very sincere and even appeared a little ill at ease, as if she was really very remorseful. In order to show her remorse further, she very patiently tried to explain things to the other party.

At this moment, Ling Chuxi had started using one of her taunting modes, the hidden taunting mode. Any normal person would feel the huge might of this mode of taunting!

Although it was just the first time they had met, Ling Chuxi was already shocked by this lady’s Sword Heart Soul Breaking Technique attack directed at her without any fair warning, catching her off guard. And now this lady was putting on such an ugly act before Ling Chuxi as if the entire world owed her money. Ling Chuxi was extremely displeased in her heart and even if she could not defeat this lady in a fight, being able to gain an advantage over her verbally could at least make her feel a little happier.
