The Villainesses Are All On My Side, How Can You Compete With Me? - Chapter 13:

Chapter 13: Liu Bai’s Indifference, Everyone’s Shock

Upon hearing Liu Jianglong’s words, the Empress of the Great Zhou was so furious that the corners of her mouth twitched. However, she couldn’t erupt in anger. She knew very well that provoking the Liu family now was not a wise move. First, she wasn’t confident she could defeat Liu Jianglong. Second…

All the elders of the Liu family were currently gathered outside the palace gates!

If she made a move, those people would rush in immediately!

At that point, the Great Zhou would descend into true chaos! Even whether she could hold onto her throne would be uncertain!

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and suppressed the fire in her heart, saying to Liu Jianglong, “Since it was a misunderstanding, then it can be resolved. I won’t hold Liu Bai accountable, as long as he admits his mistake and apologizes.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity.” Liu Jianglong smiled slightly, then turned to Liu Bai and said, “Did you hear what Her Majesty said?”

Liu Bai nodded, “I heard.”

He waved his hand impatiently and said, “If I had known that person was Her Majesty’s man, I would’ve gone easier. Who knew he was so weak? I just lightly clapped my hands, and he died! I even suspect he was trying to fake injury.”

Fake injury? The man’s already dead! Faking with his life?

The Empress of the Great Zhou gripped the armrest of the golden dragon throne tightly, forcing herself to keep calm.

Liu Bai looked at her and said indifferently, “Apologies, Your Majesty. I was a bit rough. I’ll be more careful next time.”

Next time? He was already planning for a next time?!

“Fine. Since that’s the case, I won’t see you off. Take care.”

“Heh, then I’ll take my leave with my son,” Liu Jianglong said with a calm smile.

He left the palace with Liu Bai.

Watching their departing figures, the Empress was enraged beyond measure, yet she couldn’t act on it. The golden throne’s armrest, made of solid gold, had already been dented by her grip.

“Despicable! Infuriating!”

Once the father and son duo were completely gone, she finally cursed out loud, her fury exploding. The entire palace was flooded with her pressure.

All the eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the floor in fear.

Standing to the side, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but feel a sense of sorrow as he watched this scene.

To be an Emperor, only to be so stifled…

If he ascended the throne in the future, would he also be suppressed by the Liu family?

He didn’t want that kind of life!!

After her outburst, the Empress of the Great Zhou gradually calmed down. She looked at Liu Bai’s retreating figure, deep in thought. “This person was able to kill my decree eunuch in a single strike. His strength is extraordinary—he’s definitely not someone who just advanced to Battle Spirit!”

“With such talent and power, if given a few more years to grow, the Great Zhou will truly be under the Liu family’s control!”

“Compared to Liu Jianglong, this boy is the real threat.”

Zhou Yu also found it hard to believe. One move to annihilate a 7th stage Battle Spirit…

Liu Bai was becoming more monstrous by the day!

“Mother, what about the marriage to Luo Li?” Zhou Yu asked cautiously.

“Marriage? Did you not see Liu Bai and the Liu family’s attitude? If I insist on the marriage, they might just put a sword to my throat! Can’t you use your brain and show some ambition?!”

“Liu Bai can already kill a 7th stage Battle Spirit in a blink!!”

“And you? You’ve just advanced to Battle Spirit and already feel smug? From today onward, you’ll stay in the palace and cultivate properly!” the Empress roared.

She was utterly enraged by her foolish son.

Then, she summoned Luo Qingqing and said coldly, “I don’t care what method you use, but you must take control of Liu Bai as soon as possible!”

“If necessary, even offering yourself is acceptable!”

Luo Qingqing was an extraordinary beauty, with icy skin and delicate features, so pitiful and captivating that anyone would be moved.

The Empress didn’t believe she couldn’t seduce Liu Bai with a beauty trap!

No matter how strong-willed he was, Liu Bai was still a teenage boy—at an age of youthful desire. With proper seduction, he would definitely fall!

That was the Empress’s judgment based on past experience.

Luo Qingqing slightly nodded, “Yes.”

She herself was becoming more and more curious about Liu Bai.

One strike to kill a 7th stage Battle Spirit…

Even she, or the other two direct disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, couldn’t do that. Yet Liu Bai, at only sixteen, had accomplished it!

It was truly unbelievable.

…

Outside the palace.

The Liu family elders quickly gathered around.

“Patriarch, Young Master, are you alright?”

The white-haired elder leading them asked quickly.

Liu Jianglong waved his hand, “Would I be in any danger?”

“Good, as long as you’re safe.”

Everyone sighed in relief. Then they looked toward Liu Bai. They had already heard of how he killed a 7th stage Battle Spirit in one move.

With that in mind, their gazes toward him grew more serious.

“Young Master, today’s incident still requires an explanation,” the white-haired elder said calmly.

“We’ll talk when we return,” Liu Bai said.

They returned to the Liu residence.

In the main hall, Liu Jianglong ordered all the maids and servants to leave.

Only the core elders of the Liu family remained, along with Liu Jianglong and Liu Bai.

Liu Jianglong asked seriously, “Xiao Bai, be honest with me. What cultivation level have you truly reached?”

Not long ago, Liu Bai hadn’t even broken through to Battle Spirit.

Now, he could kill a 7th stage Battle Spirit in one move?

This wasn’t normal at all.

He was even beginning to worry that Liu Bai had cultivated some kind of demonic art.

Liu Bai understood Liu Jianglong’s concern. After a moment of thought, he slowly released his aura—it was clearly… 9th stage Battle Spirit!!

And that wasn’t all.

Behind him, a phantom of a Heavenly Venerable slowly emerged!

That shadow radiated boundless majesty.

Though it faced away from the crowd, it gave off an overwhelming pressure, as if it could suppress the heavens with a single hand!

The elders’ pupils trembled violently.

“9th stage… Battle Spirit?!”

“How is this possible?!”

“How could Young Master’s cultivation have progressed so fast?! And this physique… this definitely isn’t the Heavenly Tyrant Body!!”

They were all stunned.

“Xiao Bai, what… what exactly is going on?” Even Liu Jianglong, despite his vast experience, couldn’t help but swallow nervously and ask.

“Father, I’m not the Heavenly Tyrant Body… I possess something even greater—the Primordial Heavenly Venerable Body,” Liu Bai said calmly.

Primordial Heavenly Venerable Body…

Everyone was slightly dazed upon hearing this name.

Clearly, they hadn’t heard of it before.

But the aura it emitted was undeniably far superior to the Heavenly Tyrant Body!

So much so that the Heavenly Tyrant Body wasn’t even qualified to carry its shoes!

“Wait a minute, a while ago, there were all kinds of anomalies in the sky over the capital, even a phantom appeared… Could that have been your doing?!” Liu Jianglong suddenly thought of something and asked quickly.

The others also looked at Liu Bai, their eyes full of anticipation.

Those anomalies from a few days ago had been incredibly shocking!

If they were truly caused by Liu Bai’s physique awakening, then the potential of this body would be unimaginable. In the future, Liu Bai would at the very least become a Holy Son-level figure!!

Liu Bai nodded slightly, “That time, when I advanced to Battle Spirit, my physique awakened, which caused all the commotion.”

It was real…

Everyone felt their heads spinning upon hearing this.

It was as if they’d been walking down the road and suddenly hit by a billion yuan jackpot.
