Actually, if Yaoyue wanted to resolve the situation, it wouldn't be difficult; the best method would be to call for reinforcements.

After all, Dongfang Bubai was just one person, and his speed was the most troublesome aspect.

But behind Yaoyue is her younger sister, Lianxing, who has also just broken through to the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Although her cultivation level is a bit low, if she uses the Nine-Leaf Nine-Heart Grass in Chu Qinghe's hands, Lianxing's cultivation level can instantly advance to the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.

Furthermore, since both women practice the martial arts and techniques of the Yihua Palace, namely the Mingyu Gong and Yihua Jieyu, they might have a chance to overpower Dongfang Bubai in a two-on-one situation.

However, given Yaoyue's arrogance, such a scheme to use others to bully the weak would never even cross her mind.

Even if the person offering help is her own younger sister, Yaoyue would never allow it.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Yaoyue could only focus her attention on the "Indulgent Ascension Steps" that Chu Qinghe had taught her some time ago.

Based on Yaoyue's assessment of the "Indulgent Ascension Steps," as long as she can master it to the point of "thorough understanding," she will surely be able to rival Dongfang Bubai in terms of speed and movement techniques.

However, to reach a level sufficient to deal with Dongfang Bubai, one does not need to "master" the "Steps to Immortality".

Experts often know how to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, making the most of their strengths.

For Yaoyue, what she needs now is a movement technique that can keep up with Dongfang Bubai's speed, but it is not necessary to surpass Dongfang Bubai in terms of movement speed.

Naturally, given this premise, a level of "being proficient" is sufficient.

At that time, combined with Yaoyue's own "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" and the current eighth level of "Mingyu Gong", Yaoyue will be able to surpass Dongfang Bubai and reclaim her rightful position as the main wife.

With Yaoyue's talent and Chu Qinghe's guidance, if things go smoothly, it might only take a few months or even half a year for her to master "The Ascending to Immortality".

Thinking of this, Yaoyue took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Yushui City.

"Dongfang Bubai, one day I will make you taste the flavor of lighting the lamp."

As the voice faded, Yaoyue gracefully rose and moved towards Yushui City.

Only on the lake surface, where the ice had been shattered after Yaoyue's angry dozens of blows, were the fish floating on the water, their white bodies turning to the surface.

The feeling was strangely similar to that of the fish on the tranquil lake in the Yihua Palace a few days ago.

The phrase "fish caught in the crossfire" may well originate from this.

When Yaoyue returned to the courtyard, Dongfang Bubai was already sitting next to Chu Qinghe.

Seeing this, Yaoyue narrowed her eyes and gracefully sat down next to Chu Qinghe.

Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yaoyue in front of her before looking away.

After setting down the cup in his hand, Dongfang Bubai asked, "When did you poison me last night?"

Upon hearing this question, Yaoyue's gaze also fell on Chu Qinghe.

When faced with Dongfang Bubai's question, Chu Qinghe didn't hide anything and said directly, "It happened while I was taking a bath."

Upon hearing this, both women raised an eyebrow.

Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Qinghe with great interest and said, "So, you had already made up your mind from the moment you took a bath?"

Chu Qinghe rolled his eyes and said, "What else? Wait for you to acupuncture my pressure points again?"

Hearing Chu Qinghe's resentful voice, both Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue couldn't help but chuckle, remembering how Chu Qinghe had been left alone to endure the cold wind the day before.

However, it's understandable that Chu Qinghe is feeling frustrated right now.

After all, Chu Qinghe was wearing several layers of clothing now.

Clearly, he hasn't recovered from what happened yesterday.

Then, the matter of being captivated by Chu Qinghe last night was simply put aside.

Even Yaoyue, who was standing next to her, didn't think much of it.

At noon, a pot of steaming hot mutton soup was placed on the table.

After Chu Qinghe, Xiao Zhao handed over the freshly served mutton soup.

Upon seeing this, Yaoyue instinctively raised her hand to receive it.

"Um?"

However, just as Yaoyue's hand was reaching into the air, a voice suddenly came from Dongfang Bubai's mouth.

The moment the words left her mouth, Yaoyue seemed to remember something, and her raised hand suddenly stopped.

"This woman!"

However, having already lost to Dongfang Bubai that morning, Yaoyue disdained to be the kind of petty person who would turn her back on her promise.

Therefore, although his face darkened instantly, he still withdrew his hand with a cold snort.

"Huh?"

Seeing the two women's actions, Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan were both quite surprised.

It should be noted that in the past, even when eating, the two women were always at odds with each other.

Often, if there's a disagreement in the look of their eyes, they'll have to start a fight before even thinking about eating.

However, this was the first time that Dongfang Bubai had yielded so readily after inviting Yue.

Faced with this situation, both Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan looked completely bewildered.

Based on what had happened in the past few days, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao both felt that something must have happened to Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai that they were unaware of after their return.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so abnormal.

However, the two little girls had clearly forgotten one thing.

No matter what happens, it seems it won't affect her and Xiao Zhao's status in the family.
