She simply enjoyed tormenting Lu Xuening, that ugly girl; as for lying and such, Ruji didn't care.
In her eyes, Lu Xuening was nothing more than a true demon, and from a small world at that. What great secrets could she possibly have that would interest her?
Ruji looked at the old man with the infatuated bones: "You want that boy, don't you?"
The old man with the eccentric bones chuckled and said, "Not bad. How about that girl for you? Don't you like pretty young girls? This girl is even prettier than you, hehe..."
When Ruji heard the old man with the eccentric bones say that Ayao was prettier than her, her beautiful face immediately turned ferocious. She looked at Ayao's phantom and felt very displeased.
Ruji hates women who are prettier than her.
“This little girl possesses two extraordinary treasures,” the Foolish Old Man said with a smile.
What?
A Heavenly Treasure?
Lu Xuening and the other maids were all shocked.
Lu Xuening gritted her teeth. Lu Xueyao actually possessed two Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures? How could this be? Lu Xueyao having two Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures meant she had received a great fortune. While she was being tortured to the point of being neither human nor ghost by that perverted Ruji, Lu Xueyao had actually received a great fortune.
Lu Xuening felt resentful; it was as if her heart was being slowly tortured.
Jealousy, jealousy, she was extremely jealous.
When Ruji heard what the old man Chigu said, she simply raised an eyebrow.
Ruji is a member of the Xieyue clan. She and the Yue clan's supreme ruler, the Yuehou, belong to the same clan, but the two clans are enemies.
Princess Ruji is skilled in calculation and has a natural talent for precognition.
That day, when Ayao and Feng Chu fought against Elder Meng and Elder Li, Ruji noticed the aura of Feng Chu's natal sword leaking out. At that moment, Ruji had the thought, but her intuition told her that if she made a move, it would cause great karma and be extremely risky, so she held back.
Ruji looked at the old man with a charming smile and said, "You mean, as long as I help you calculate the location of these two people, you'll capture that little girl and give her to me, and the two Heavenly Treasures she possesses will also be mine?"
The old man with the eccentric bones chuckled and said, "Exactly, exactly, this deal is very worthwhile for you, isn't it?"
Although the Foolish Old Man said this, he actually only wanted to get something for nothing. In his eyes, both A Yao and Feng Chu were excellent candidates. How could he simply give away such good candidates to Ru Ji? As for the two Heavenly Treasures, he could forget about them altogether.
That's a divine treasure that can reach the heavens!
Ruji stood up, took a few steps, and said with a smile, "It does sound like a good deal. Okay, I'll calculate it for you."
With a wave of her hand, Ruji caused the entire palace to sway like a reflection on water. Then, everyone there appeared in a starry sky, where stars of all sizes emitted light of various colors.
Strange totems seemed to flicker in Ruji's eyes, and then a huge halo appeared behind her. In the entire starry sky, the stars began to rotate faster and faster.
Beams of starlight shot towards Ruji, transforming into a floating golden compass in her hand. This compass was covered with various swirling nebulae. Neither a true demon like Lu Xuening, nor the earth immortals and celestial immortals beside her, nor even a powerful immortal king like Chi Gu Weng, could see through the compass in Ruji's hand.
Ruji stared at the compass in her hand, uttering a string of obscure and incomprehensible incantations.
A moment later, she released her grip, and the compass vanished, along with the strange phenomena around her. The entire palace returned to its original state, and Ruji silently transmitted a message to the old man with the eccentric bones.
The old man with the eccentric bones chuckled:
"Thank you!"
After saying this, the old man with the eccentric bones transformed into ugly two-winged bats and flew out of the hall, disappearing into the world in the blink of an eye.
After the old man left, Ruji sat down on the chaise longue, her long, beautiful legs crossed. She seemed to be thinking about something, and a strange, cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Lu Xuening was secretly hoping that A Yao would suffer misfortune. She thought to herself: It would be great if Lu Xueyao fell into Ru Ji's hands.
Ruji hates women who are more beautiful than her the most. Lu Xuening can imagine what kind of torture Lu Xueyao will suffer if she falls into Ruji's hands.
If she were to curry favor with Ruji, Ruji might allow her to torment Lu Xueyao. The thought of tormenting Lu Xueyao filled her with excitement. She wanted to turn Lu Xueyao into an ugly monster, tormenting that bitch until she was even uglier than she was now.
However, Lu Xuening also had some concerns.
Is that old man, Chi Gu Weng, going to lie? What if he takes a fancy to Lu Xueyao and doesn't hand her over? Although Lu Xueyao would definitely suffer a terrible fate if she fell into Chi Gu Weng's hands, at least she wouldn't be able to torture Lu Xueyao or watch her being tortured. Wouldn't that be such a pity?
Lu Xuening felt she needed to remind Ruji. She looked at Ruji's profile, but felt uneasy and dared not speak casually.
Ruji noticed her gaze and turned her head: "What do you want to say?"
Lu Xuening said, "This servant was just thinking, if... if the old man Chi Gu doesn't keep his word, then wouldn't Your Majesty have helped for nothing?"
Ruji snorted coldly: "That guy never intended to give that little girl to me in the first place."
Lu Xuening looked at her in confusion. If she was so sure that Chi Gu Weng wouldn't keep his word, why was she still helping him?
Ruji knew that the Foolish Old Man wanted to get something for nothing, so she didn't remind him of the deep karmic ties between Ayao and Feng Chu. Feng Chu's physical body held little appeal for Ruji. She didn't want to become a man, so what would she want Feng Chu's body for?
A puppet? Turning a primordial sword seed into one's own puppet is not bad, but to fall into danger because of a puppet is not worth the loss.
Just now, while performing the calculations, that feeling of danger returned. The danger didn't stem from the two little ones themselves, but from the karmic entanglements they were involved in. Ruji's intuition told her that if she intervened, she would be plunged into a great crisis, even risking her own demise.
She was eager to know what big secret those two little ones held.
The old man with the obsessive bones schemed against her, and she schemed against him as well. She helped him find out the locations of A Yao and Feng Chu so that he would touch a great karmic obstacle she dared not touch. She wanted to use the old man's life to help her uncover the great secret hidden by those two.
Lu Xuening looked at Ruji, wanting to know what this woman was thinking. As soon as Ruji turned her gaze over, she immediately lowered her head in fear. But Ruji stared at her intently, her gaze growing increasingly dangerous, which made Lu Xuening very uneasy.
What... what is this pervert trying to do now?
Ruji's gaze turned cold. She smiled and said, "You said those two little guys came from the same little world as you. I'm really curious about what happened between you two."
"Your Majesty, please ask whatever you wish. This servant will answer all your questions to the best of my knowledge," Lu Xuening said respectfully.
Ruji smiled and said, "Rather than having you tell me, I'd rather see for myself."
