Chapter 6: Chili Water

What on earth was going on?

Could it be??

Huan Yao suddenly understood. These spirit stones could only test the spiritual power within the body, but her spiritual power was brought by her soul; naturally, the spirit stones could not detect it.

Even with her powerful soul inhabiting this body, it was still a piece of trash!

But if that were the case, wouldn't it mean she couldn't use this body to continue cultivating spiritual power?

Even if she returned to Qingming Water Pavilion, with the foundation of her current body, the Sect Leader would absolutely not let her live past the second day. How then could she exterminate the entire Yunjue Chen clan? How could she avenge her grievances and sorrows?

"Hey, trash, this is a reward from the Eldest Miss." Just as Huan Yao returned to her dilapidated small courtyard, the tightly closed gate was pushed open by a clamorous maid dressed in red and white.

That face was clearly written with schadenfreude, as if she were leisurely waiting to ridicule and mock Hua Jinse.

The fact that a mere maid dared to call Hua Jinse "trash" showed exactly what state Hua Jinse had fallen into.

The maid, named Chun Han, held a dark-colored tray with a bowl the size of a washbasin on it. With a sneering expression, Chun Han lifted the lid of the bowl, and a pungent, spicy aroma immediately rushed to the nose.

Chun Han was choked by the spicy scent and coughed violently several times before pinching her nose and saying, "Quick, trash. The Eldest Miss saw that the weather is getting colder day by day, so she specially used more than ten types of chili peppers—including Sichuan peppercorns, numbing peppers, pointed peppers, seven-star peppers, ox-horn peppers, and so on—to boil a large pot to bring to you, trash, to ward off the cold."

Inside the white porcelain bowl was a piercing red, even thicker than the color of blood. Every wisp of rising steam carried a strong, irritating scent.

Forget drinking it; even smelling it could choke a person half to death.

However, Huan Yao's dark eyes flickered, and she actually thought this was a good thing!

"What? Refusing to drink? Do you want me to beat you until you beg for mercy on the floor before you'll drink?" Chun Han was extremely arrogant. Relying on the fact that she had just broken through to the Red Rank, becoming a low-level spiritual cultivator, she held utter contempt for a piece of trash like Hua Jinse.

Just as she was about to make a move, Huan Yao extended her slender hand, and a powerful suction force erupted from her palm. Chun Han's disdainful face was suddenly pulled right in front of her.

Huan Yao gripped Chun Han's fair neck as if she were pinching an ant.

Before Chun Han could make any expression of surprise, Huan Yao's right hand moved swiftly across Chun Han's limbs.

*Crack, crack.* The sounds of limbs being broken filled the room, followed by Chun Han's painful screams.

Huan Yao released her grip on Chun Han, her long fingernails intentionally leaving five deep scratch marks on Chun Han's neck, deep enough to seemingly slice through flesh and bone: "Crawl back and tell your Eldest Miss to feed me personally!"

When Chun Han crawled back to see Hua Xiangwan using her broken limbs like a dog, a streak of malice immediately flashed across Hua Xiangwan's pretty and glamorous face.

"Hua Jinse, you piece of trash! You actually dare to injure my maid? You are simply looking for death!" Hua Xiangwan rushed to Hua Jinse's courtyard in a fury.

Huan Yao, however, had the leisure and elegance to brew herself a cup of tea, waiting unhurriedly for Hua Xiangwan's arrival. Her full lips parted slightly: "Eldest Sister, you said it wrong. It wasn't injuring; it was crippling. From now on, your maid can only move by crawling!"

A flash of astonishment immediately crossed Hua Xiangwan's handsome and enchanting face.

In the past, Hua Jinse would have already knelt down to beg for mercy, yet now, Hua Jinse actually dared to talk back to her.!!
