The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife
chapter-1819

Hearing that, Jiang Qingya’s expression immediately softened.

Lu Xuyang suddenly appeared ten years ago.

Originally, Qingya didn’t think much of a Nascent Soul Stage martial artist. She kept Lu Xuyang in Moon Embracing Palace solely because of his wood spiritual roots. Though his roots weren’t pure, they could still aid in her cultivation.

In truth, one of Jiang Qingya’s cultivation techniques involved purifying her spiritual power by extracting yang energy to nurture yin energy. As a result, she surrounded herself with male martial artists possessing pure yang energy, who were regarded as priests. In reality, however, they were merely her playthings.

Initially, Lu Xuyang was the most inconspicuous among them.

However, three years ago, when Jiang Qingya was in danger, Lu Xuyang risked his life to save her. After that, she began to pay more attention to him and eventually grew fond of him.

Additionally, although Lu Xuyang’s strength was average, he possessed a unique charm that set him apart from the other playthings. He often devised strategies that benefited Jiang Qingya.

Gradually, Jiang Qingya came to regard Lu Xuyang as one of her favorites.

After hearing Jiang Qingya’s words, a faint glimmer appeared in Lu Xuyang’s eyes. He hesitated before saying, “So Master is concerned about the selection of the saintess. Actually, I know the perfect candidate, but I’m worried Master might find her unsuitable.”

“Hurry up and tell me. Who do you think is the best candidate for saintess?” Jiang Qingya said, sitting up straight and fixing her gaze on Lu Xuyang.

With a soft smile and an inscrutable gaze, Lu Xuyang said, “Palace Master, do you recall the Realm Mobilization Edict released by Abyss Divine Venerable?”

Jiang Qingya’s face turned ugly when Lu Xuyang mentioned the Realm Mobilization Edict.

She could never forget the Realm Mobilization Edict. The woman depicted in it was so breathtakingly beautiful that she made the entire world seem dull in comparison, leaving all other women feeling inferior.

Jiang Qingya had outstanding cultivation and incredible talent since childhood but had one flaw.

She wasn’t much to look at, with a square face, flat nose, droopy eyebrows, and yellowish skin. Despite improving her cultivation and using many beauty elixirs, all she managed was slightly fairer and smoother skin.

In the past, the Moon Embracing Palace was known for its beautiful women, especially the palace masters who were renowned for their beauty. When Jiang Qingya became the palace master, many people secretly ridiculed her.

If Jiang Qingya didn’t secure the support of the God Domain’s high priest, her looks alone would have made it impossible for her to become the Moon Embracing Palace Master.

After Jiang Qingya became the palace master, she sidelined all the beautiful women in the Moon Embracing Palace and surrounded herself with a harem of handsome male companions.

Many in the Moon Embracing Palace despised Jiang Qingya, and her hatred for attractive women only deepened.

Known for his cold and ruthless nature, Abyss Divine Venerable had never shown interest in women. But now, he issued a Realm Mobilization Edict for a woman so beautiful. How could Jiang Qingya not be filled with jealousy and hatred?

“Why are you bringing up the Realm Mobilization Edict out of nowhere?” Jiang Qingya said, displeased.

Unperturbed, Lu Xuyang replied softly, “When I saw the woman on the Realm Mobilization Edict, she looked familiar. Master, you know I’m from the lower realm of Miluo Continent. If I’m not mistaken, this woman is quite renowned there.”
