Lan Caier is also a princess of Da Xia?
Indeed, Lan Caier had another identity to her name. After she earned the tenth place in the royal competition, she also earned the Dowager Queenâs favor when she entered the palace to receive her reward.
As such, the old queen took Lan Caier as her foster daughter and even had the king personally make a decree to announce the occasion. If not for the fact that Glass City was in such a remote place, most people wouldâve known about this fact already.
Stunned as they watched, the crowd didnât know what to say against this scene.
After Lan Caier got physically and verbally abusive, she instantly changed face the moment she turned around to face Ling Yue, her lips giving off the sweetest smile one can imagine. One hand holding Ling Yueâs hand, the two affectionately entered the governorâs manor like two very close sisters. Meanwhile in the back, the bunch of thugs from the Mountain Sea Gang was completely ignored like they no longer existed.
âJust you wait⦠you two bitches. I will get my revenge.â With venomous eyes, Sha Zhen was eventually dragged away by his men like a loser.
Only after the scuffle ended did the onlooking guests come back to reality. Those that needed to head inside did so, and those that werenât invited scattered away to carry out their own business as usual.
After the crowd dispersed, an old figure finally walked out from one of the corners nearby. Old President Laio, his gaze meaningful as he watched Ling Yueâs disappearing figure.
âGood sister, what unique skill is that you just used? One finger and you can easily subdue a lower celestial martialist. Itâs so amazing!â As soon as Lan Caier entered the residence with Ling Yue, sheâs been asking ceaselessly for an answer.
Lan Caier can tell already after careful observation, Ling Yueâs skill wasnât very high. At most eighth or ninth rank of the constitution domain. With that sort of cultivation, itâs no different from throwing an egg at a rock.
âNothing special, itâs just a pressure point hitting technique passed down through the family. Earlier what I shot out was a hidden weapon to hit the guyâs numbing pressure point. If big sister wants to learn then I can teach you. However, this technique requires the use of the spirit force to work.â Knowing her small little tricks canât fool Lan Caier, she decides to be frank and explain everything.
âSo it was the spirit force, no wonder you can take on a lower celestial martialist. If the technique requires the spirit force to use then Iâm out of luck, I canât use it. But then again, how long does your pressure point attack last?â Lan Caier wasnât asking out of concern for the guy, in fact, sheâs more than happy to see the boy suffer as long as possible.
âNot too long, just three days and three nights and it will automatically release itself. But during this period, he wonât be able to move at all, even speaking will be a problem. I want to make sure he learns a lesson from this encounter.â Ling Yue calmly states this.
She didnât have any foundation in Glass City yet so she didnât want to have any direct confrontations with the Mountain Sea Gang as a whole for now.
But after todayâs incident, the other side definitely wonât let it slide so easily.

Three days and three nights of being paralyzed, just thinking of Sha Zhenâs image caused Lan Caier to break out into laughter.
âLittle sister, you are too good!â
Seeing their own young mistress being so good to this Ye Ling Yue lady, the guards and soldiers inside the residence also took on a different tune and became more respectful towards her.
Once the banquet began, Lan Caier specifically arranged for Ling Yue to sit by her side. This led to a lot of eyes from various powers looking their way, speculating who this girl might be. After some inquiry, it didnât take much to find out Ling Yue hailed from the Ye household, a not so prominent family in Glass City.
This news amazed everyone for Lan Caier openly humiliated Sha Zhen in public today. If thatâs happening, does it mean the governor wishes to uplift the Ye family to take over the position of the Mountain Sea Gang inside Glass City?
Unknowingly, this sort of thinking quickly spread across the entire banquet, leaving none of the guests not wondering this question.
Three cups of wine down, Ling Yueâs attention was suddenly drawn towards an old man sitting across from her.
Thatâs when it hit her. This old man thatâs nodding at her in greeting was the very same person from the Alchemist Association!
âThatâs the president of the Alchemist Association.â One introduction from Lan Caier instantly caused Ling Yue to flush red from embarrassment. To think the elder that she scammed the papers from would be the president of the Alchemist Association branch in Glass Cityâ¦
âOh my young friend, you are looking quite good after not seeing for a few days.â President Liao had already forgotten about the wager from before and was making an amiable appearance towards her.
âI didnât know elder is the president that day so please forgive Ling Yue if I offended you in any way.â Ling Yue hurries to apologize.
âDonât worry about it. The Alchemist Association favors talented young people like you the most. May I know if little friend here made any improvements after reading the basic manual I gave you?â President Liao looked like he couldnât wait to hear the results.
âJunior managed learn a little bit.â Ling Yue wasnât certain if this old man was a friend or a foe, so her answer was very vague.
Even so, she didnât dare attempt to conceal her skills. The president in front of her was an eight cauldron alchemist, just looking at those eyes gave her an oppressive feeling that she couldnât resist.
Itâs likely that is the natural aura of an eight cauldron alchemist.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou learned it?â Although President Liao suspected the girl has grasped the spirit of force, but to have it confirmed up front, heâs having a little trouble accepting reality. How can someone learn it so quick without guidance?
âJust some basics, hardly enough to control it at will.â Ling Yue makes a small little lie.
âThatâs alright. Tell me some more, maybe I can give you some advice and guidance.â President Liao didnât get stingy and began talking her up.
Once the two began conversing together, Ling Yue immediately felt like she just became enlightened. She asked about a lot of things, alchemy, forging artifacts, and some tricks when using the spirit force. Likewise, President Liao answered them all without reservation and was very surprised that the girl in front of him had very little knowledge pertaining to alchemy despite her level of cultivation with the spirit force.
Eventually, the two found that their opinions matched each other quite well and soon became good friends, something you donât find often with such a large gap in their age.
âLing Yue, let me introduce you to my father.â Lan Caier came over and pulls Ling Yue away to meet Governor Lan.
âFather, this here is Ling Yue, the little sister I keep telling you about.â Lan Caier intimately introduces her father to Ling Yue.
Back when Lan Ying Wu sent his steward to test Ling Yue, the phrase Wen Ce came back with was: âThe girl will definitively be exceptional in her life.â
To be able to get such high evaluation from Wen Ce wasnât something everyone can do. Even back in the royal capital, there was hardly any noble young lords or ladies that could make the scholarly steward praise them so well. Trusting his aidâs appraisal, Lan Ying Wu had quite the good impression of Ling Yue even before their meeting today.
âLing Yue, my father always wanted to ask you where you got your monkey wine from. He wants to get a few jars himself and send it to some friends in the capital.â Though the guy says itâs for gifting people, but the truth was that he couldnât bear to touch the single jar in his possession so he wanted more. The Century Monkey Wine was simply too precious and too difficult to find.
Drinking one drop would mean one drop less dammit!
âI know how to brew the Century Monkey Wine. If Uncle likes it so much, I can send some more over in a few days.â Ling Yueâs statement sent Lan Ying Wu giddy with excitement.
Ever since Ling Yue first found the monkey wine back in the mountain, sheâs been constantly using her spirit smoke to refine it and at the same time dissect it to figure out the composition. After so much time, she finally got a good idea of the makeup and was confident she can replicate the product now.
Plus, she had her dimensional space Red Mist Sky. If sheâs really deadest on brewing this wine, it wonât be difficult with the time fast-forwarding effect.
âLing Yue, the truth is, your monkey wine is truly good. If you donât mind me asking, are you interested in selling it at my Drunken Immortal restaurant?â Hearing Ling Yue can brew the wine herself, Lan Caier immediately broke out into a smile.
âDrunken Immortal is yours?â Ling Yue was shocked by this news.
To think the most expensive restaurant was owned by Lan Caier, now thatâs something she didnât expect.
In reality, Ling Yue also wanted to open a restaurant of similar nature after she first visited the Drunken Immortal.
After all, she had the magical Red Mist Sky that can constantly supply her with high quality spirit fruits and vegetables. Plus her monkey wine, Ling Yueâs not going to believe she canât open up a path for herself.
Issue was, sheâs limited in her finances.
But now, the opportunity was right in front of her for the taking!
