Chapter 544: Chapter 528: Moving Stars and Shifting the Universe by Hand

Huangfu Qing never expected that saying those words would not stun Zhao Changhe; instead, the effect was more intense than if he had drugged him.

Despite having just pleaded for a truce, the battle unexpectedly reignited, catching Huangfu Qing completely off guard, dumbfounded.

Biting the pillow, she pondered deeply for a while before suddenly realizing: "You, you, you actually got even more excited because of this!"

Zhao Changhe remained silent.

"You jerk!" Huangfu Qing struggled, "And you call yourself a hero? Have you no shame?"

Zhao Changhe pointed to his nose, "I’m a follower of the Demon Sect, a Room Fire Pig of the Four Symbols Sect."

Huangfu Qing rolled her eyes, not sure whether she was more shocked by his words or something else.

To them followers of the Demon Sect, of course, this shouldn’t be a big deal, especially since the relationship was so forcefully construed. But Zhao Changhe usually seemed more and more like a hero, so she thought he would avoid such things and she could manipulate him...

It was only now that Huangfu Qing remembered that this guy was no hero; his initial label was clearly that of a bandit!

She had trapped herself... Not only was she now in a pitiful state, but she had also apparently intensified his interest in Xia Chichi, making Huangfu Qing want to slap herself.

Suddenly, a loud respectful greeting came from outside, "Is the Holy Daughter back?"

The movements inside the room ceased.

Xia Chichi peeked through the paper window, which still reflected the stationary scene.

"Bang!" Xia Chichi burst in furiously, grabbed the couple: "While I alone face the most terrifying Great Demon in the world, life hanging by a thread, you two are here having fun?"

The so-called most terrifying Great Demon is your own father...

Besides, even if he really lost his senses and wanted to kill you, there’s no need to lure you to the Secret Realm for that, he could kill you anytime, even just now with Zhao Changhe.

The Vermilion Bird Venerable, who had been arrogant all his life, wouldn’t lose momentum, lazily removed her hand, and carelessly brushed through his hair. The blanket wrapped around him slipped off, and in an instant, a turbulent wave crashed, rolling up heaps of snow.

Xia Chichi stared, "Shameless!"

"What’s wrong? We’ve been a couple all along, we can be intimate whenever we want. Who are these monsters to oppose us?" Huangfu Qing lazily said, "But isn’t it a bit inappropriate for the Holy Daughter to barge in like this..."

"I have every reason," Xia Chichi said, "In perilous times, one must be extra cautious. The whole Imperial Palace could hear what you were doing, and I came close without any perception. What if something had happened? It would ruin the big plans of the Holy Sect! You Winged Fire Snake, do you admit your guilt?"

Huangfu Qing was stunned for a moment—whose side are you on, questioning me about the sins of the Holy Sect...

It’s okay, I have the Imperial Sword.

"I have my own discretion," Huangfu Qing leisurely said. "As for the affairs of the Imperial Palace, I am fully responsible. Venerable has instructed too, you should listen to me. If you have any grievances, you can go back and report to the Venerable, let her punish me if necessary."

Xia Chichi said, "You’re in charge of the palace matters, right? Do you know that if I want, this entire Imperial Palace could be mine?"

"I know," Huangfu Qing earnestly said, "But if that day comes, it means you would have to call me mother."

Xia Chichi was dumbfounded.

Huangfu Qing felt great, defeating Xia Chichi for the first time in this role. Wearing a mask, I am your master; without the mask, I am your mom, a complete and unassailable domination.

She completely forgot that this identity had almost awakened a wild beast just moments ago.

Zhao Changhe took advantage of the chaos between the two supreme figures beside the bed, quietly dressed himself, and hearing Huangfu Qing’s words, he almost burst out laughing, barely pulling Xia Chichi’s sleeve quietly: "Chichi..."

Xia Chichi snapped, "What! You didn’t have enough with her, and now you want me?"

"If I said I was taking revenge on the old Xia, would you believe me..."

Xia Chichi twitched her cheek and really believed it. At least these two were so eager to roll together, it must be because of this trigger.

But now her identity had become awkward, "You want to be my stepfather, right?"

Zhao Changhe: "..."

"There’s no chance of that happening." Xia Chichi couldn’t be bothered to bicker with Huangfu Qing anymore, and scoffed, "We’ve had a falling out."

Zhao Changhe was startled, "What... oh, did you explode the gold coins and just walked away, not bothering with him anymore? That would be expected."

Xia Chichi scoffed, "I would have liked to, but I hadn’t even managed to save my face before he turned sour and said, ’You can go.’"

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Xia Chichi angrily said, "Do you know how I felt? I even thought he truly felt indebted, giving me warmth when he transmitted his skills... I would have been better off without such a false impression, it’s even more distressing!"

Huangfu Qing sighed, "It’s better not to try and guess what such people are thinking. Since you’ve fallen out, it would be better to leave this place, to avoid him coming up with something new on the spur of the moment and catching you off guard."

Xia Chichi also sighed, "Are all those in power like this, unpredictable like the Venerables?"

Huangfu Qing: "...I think you’re the unpredictable one, mentioning the Venerable out of the blue."

Xia Chichi gazed blankly at the oil lamp and suddenly said, "He also rushed me away, telling me to go overseas."

Huangfu Qing curiously asked, "Why did he send you overseas?"

"He said I had too much sharpness, not enough calm; too much chill, not enough gentleness; too much ambition, not enough tolerance; too much ruthlessness, not enough dignity. Therefore, the spirit of the White Tiger was strong but that of the Azure Dragon was weak. I should head to the birthplace of the Eastern Azure Dragon to seek my path to the Third Layer Secret Treasure." Xia Chichi said, "Regardless of what kind of person he is, his insight into martial arts is truly remarkable."

Huangfu Qing kept nodding, and her thoughts actually matched these words. She had previously sent Xia Chichi on a sea voyage for this very reason. But she was Xia Chichi’s master, deeply familiar with Xia Chichi’s cultivation, while Xia Longyuan had seen Xia Chichi only once, not even witnessing her in action, yet he judged so accurately... it was indeed admirable.

But Xia Chichi had already gone once, and had just returned from enhancing her Azure Dragon Enlightenment, which was why she’d approached the threshold of the Second Layer Secret Treasure. Now to go again... Wait!

Huangfu Qing widened her eyes, "What path did he ask you to seek?"

"The Third Layer Secret Treasure." Xia Chichi said nonchalantly, "Because I’ve just broken through the Second Layer, and even gained a bit more... "

Both Huangfu Qing and Zhao Changhe opened their mouths, unsure what to say.

Wasn’t it just supposed to give you some darn inheritance?

Zhao Changhe remembered his own struggle breaking through the Second Layer... the true inch-by-inch reconstruction of the body could pain an iron man to death, and even so, it had not completely succeeded, relying instead on the Spirit Platform of the Ancestor Witch of the Spirit Clan, perceiving the essence of the merging of sun and moon, balancing the dualities, and barely succeeding.

And here, a father and daughter had broken it just by talking?

Who was really cheating here?

Thinking deeply, Huangfu Qing looked at Xia Chichi for a long while without asking how she actually made the breakthrough, only confirming: "The sea is vast, do you know where exactly? Don’t end up on the Sea Emperor."

"I don’t know if the Sea Emperor will be nearby, but I do know where that place is..." Xia Chichi spoke dreamily, "He reached out towards the constellation of Seven Dragon Constellations in his sky, casually swiping, and the constellations fell to the extreme East, where the central one, the great fire, stayed exactly at the border between sea and sky. Then I really saw the sea and sky in reality, as if I was standing on a rock watching the distant central constellation, feeling the moistness in the sea breeze that hit my face... I’ve seen the nearby islands and rocks, I just visited them on my recent sea voyage."

Huangfu Qing’s face turned extremely grave. "Maneuvering the stars, shifting heaven and earth. Is there really such a realm..."

Xia Chichi said, "Yes, it’s recorded in the classics, I thought they were just boasting... Seeing it for myself was indeed shocking. But I feel it must also be leveraging the effects of this Secret Realm Sky, and I guess his staying there is related to this."

Zhao Changhe asked, "You said you’ve been there on your sea voyage, but didn’t find anything, how will you know how to search this time?"

"It’s about waiting for the right moment... When the central constellation is precisely at the sea-sky border, that’s it. But it’s not when the Azure Dragon enters the sea, rather the opposite. The Azure Dragon rises from the sea, its form perhaps leaping in the abyss until it fully rises, like a flying dragon in the sky."
