When Luo Bingli finally opened her eyes again, she found herself surrounded by gazes of pure admiration.
Considering her current appearance, Luo Bingli couldn’t help but blush. After all, the Huanhuan Empress’s dress was undeniably alluring, practically inviting attention.
She cleared her throat, cupped her hands in a respectful gesture to the crowd, and then, pulling Bai Rusui along, swiftly departed from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
It was only after Luo Bingli had left that the patrons of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion resumed their lively discussions.
“The Saintess of the Hundred Flowers Palace rarely appeared in public before. Yet, her debut was so exceptional! Not only does she possess the number one beauty on the Peerless Charm List, but her talent is also heaven-defying. She’s truly the perfect choice for a Dao companion. I wonder how many sacred lands will come to propose to the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
“Indeed! Such an outstanding beauty will surely attract the covetous eyes of countless powerful factions. I wonder if the Hundred Flowers Palace can withstand the pressure.”
“The Hundred Flowers Palace’s previous strategy might not be effective anymore!”
“You’re right!”
“It’s hard to say. I heard the previous Saintess had a very wide network of connections, so perhaps…”

Amidst the surrounding chatter, Ye Xiaozi finally snapped back to reality.
In that moment, a powerful impulse surged within Ye Xiaozi: she had to do something for the love between Sister Bai and the Saintess. Otherwise, the two would surely be separated in the future by some irresistible force.
‘I must become stronger. I must become incredibly strong! Only then can I ensure that Senior Sister Bai and the Saintess are not forced apart by external influences.’
A fervent spiritual cry caused Ye Xiaozi to enter a profound, mystical state. It felt as if her blood was burning, as if power itself was beckoning to her.
At this moment, Ye Xiaozi was filled with unwavering confidence.

Back in her abode, Luo Bingli finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After casually settling Bai Rusui, and under the other woman’s resentful gaze, Luo Bingli entered her secret chamber to examine her body.
When she saw two dazzling, immortal auras swirling around her delicate primordial spirit, Luo Bingli’s heart swelled with indescribable joy.
These were two streams of immortal qi! To cultivate even one required an immense price and incredible fortune, yet she possessed two.
How did this newly acquired stream of immortal qi appear? Naturally, it was a reward for completing a system task!
Luo Bingli remembered that she had completely forgotten about the system task, simply enjoying the milky scent, when suddenly a system notification rang out: [Ding-dong! Congratulations, Host, for completing the task, ‘Future Empress.’ Ye Xiaozi is currently experiencing intense feelings of being ‘bullied.’ Ye Xiaozi’s emotional fluctuation: S. Task completion reward: One complete stream of immortal qi, perfectly integrated into the Host’s body. Extract immediately?]
At the time, Luo Bingli felt utterly bewildered, her intelligence momentarily insufficient. She instinctively clicked ‘yes,’ which led to the grand spectacle that followed.
Two streams of immortal qi successfully integrated into Luo Bingli’s body, creating a significant commotion. It immediately plunged Luo Bingli into that profound, mysterious realm. Only after regaining consciousness did she learn that the news of her possessing two streams of immortal qi had already spread widely.
Luo Bingli knew that such information becoming public might lead to trouble. However, thinking of her master, a sense of calm settled in her heart.
Although that old scoundrel always looked at her with the sentiment of ‘the neighbor’s daughter has grown up,’ it had to be said that she treated Luo Bingli quite well. Luo Bingli imagined her master would be busy for a while, working to achieve the desired outcome.
Still, if inconveniencing her master could grant her a period of safety, then it was a small price to pay. It wasn’t much; perhaps her master would even secretly enjoy it.
However, what truly puzzled Luo Bingli was why the task, which had shown no progress, suddenly completed. And the completion was so effective, directly granting her a stream of immortal qi.
‘Could the system have been delayed just now?’ Luo Bingli mused.
‘Forget it, it doesn’t matter.’ Having unexpectedly gained a stream of immortal qi, Luo Bingli felt she had struck it rich. A wave of immense satisfaction washed over her, and all the worries of the past two days vanished. Just as Luo Bingli prepared to get some much-needed rest and sleep, the system’s voice chimed again.
[Ding-dong! Detecting that the future empress, Ye Xiaozi, was ‘bullied’ by you in public to the point of doubting life, thereby awakening part of her bloodline. The awakened Ye Xiaozi will gradually display her talents and, in the near future, grow strong enough to threaten your plans, seeking revenge and ultimately reclaiming Senior Sister Bai, who appears in her dreams. New task issued: Suppress Ye Xiaozi.]
[Task details: Suppress Ye Xiaozi’s development as much as possible, including but not limited to public humiliation, direct physical assault, bribing her superiors, insulting her, and so on. Ensure she harbors no thoughts of resisting you.]
[Task reward: Dependent on task completion results.]
[Task limit: Complete within one week.]
[Task failure penalty: Host’s soul will be annihilated and refined into a puppet doll (This doll features automatic repair, one-click costume change, one-click costume removal, companionship for sleep and play, cosplay, and other powerful functions.), to be randomly gifted to a reader who has read this book.]
Luo Bingli, who had been preparing for a good rest, immediately gritted her silver teeth in anger upon seeing the system’s new task.
“You damn system, can’t you let me rest? Can’t you stop shearing wool from the same sheep?!” Luo Bingli’s frustration was understandable. After all, she had thought one ‘bullying’ incident would be the end of it, and she still wasn’t even sure who Ye Xiaozi was.
[Ding-dong! Detecting that the Host is unwilling to complete the system task. The system will evolve into the Perfect Flannel Ball System, dedicated to helping the Host become the most perfect flannel ball. Starting upgrade… three…]
“Stop, stop, stop! System sister, System mother, System grandma, please withdraw your divine powers! I’ll do it, I’ll do it, boohoo…”
[Ding-dong! Upgrade terminated! In that case, please complete the task as soon as possible. Good luck!]
“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll definitely finish it quickly. You should rest first!”
Seeing that the system remained silent, Luo Bingli finally sighed in relief, then let out a helpless sigh. “Alas! My poor, miserable child! Fine, I’ll sleep first. Tomorrow, I’ll ask that lackey, Wang Qiu’er, to find out who Ye Xiaozi actually is!”
With that thought, Luo Bingli stopped pondering. There was still a week until the task deadline anyway. She hadn’t slept for the past two days due to the tasks. In fact, Luo Bingli hadn’t slept since her breakthrough; if she weren’t a cultivator, she would have long since collapsed from exhaustion.
Shaking her head, Luo Bingli lay down on her luxurious bed and instantly fell asleep.
