After god knew how long, following a loud splashing sound, a few veils of mist rose up around Hua Qiyue’s body. The mist was light blue and was like a beautiful rainbow appearing after rain, beautifully slashing across the dark gloomy sky.

Suddenly, another crack appeared in the sky as a beam of light descended on Tianpi!

For merely two hours, while she was cultivating Spirit Summoning Art, her Qi Art had advanced to the bottom tier of Oracle Profound!

Hua Qiyue slowly opened her eyes.

Clap, clap, clap…

Clapping noises followed as Hua Qiyue saw that the silhouette in front of her was clapping.

“Awesome. Hua Qiyue, you are indeed a genius haha… This time, I didn’t find the wrong person, not the wrong person! So strong, to have progressed by one standard in merely two hours!”

Tianpi laughed crazily like a kid, as if he had progressed instead of Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue pursed her lips slightly, clasping her hands together to absorb the spiritual qi once more.

This night, Hua Qiyue did not return to the outside world, merely cultivating her skills diligently in the hot spring.

She only knew after that that she needed to be of at least Soil Absorbant standard to cultivate in the hot spring. Her Qi Art was at its pinnacle that night, advancing twice the grade in one night, shocking even Tianpi.

When she returned to the outside world, Hua Qiyue discovered that it was already daytime. However, she was not tired at all, with plenty of energy to use.

Her little boy had fallen asleep beside her.

Through the morning light, Hua Qiyue looked at the face of Tianci, who slept on her arm.

Having merely drank the Long Red Ginseng soup for a few days, the little boy’s scars had disappeared and his chubby and cute face had recovered.

Hua Qiyue remembered that Tianci’s face was still scarred yesterday, and was not so white as well.

After a short night, he had become white and chubby. It seemed that the Long Red Ginseng chicken soup was indeed effective.

Suddenly, the little boy contracted and tightened his grip on Hua Qiyue’s clothes. Opening his small cute mouth, he cried, “Wuuu…”

“Tianci had cried in his dreams! He must be dreaming of her in her previous life, dreaming of those devious women torturing him?”

Hua Qiyue teared up.

She was so foolish before to believe in Zhou Zhicheng, dealing insufferable damage to Tianci.

The damage dealt to the heart was much more serious than that to the body.

Hua Qiyue touched Tianci’s face. His face was as smooth as an egg but his brows were tightened like a worm as his body shook violently.

“Agh!” Tianci suddenly screamed. Hua Qiyue was shocked as she had never seen Tianci having such a terrible nightmare before.

Immediately, she hugged Tianci, kissing him softly. “Tianci, mum is here. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, no one can hurt you!”

In his dreams still, Tianci stopped shivering. However, this had alerted Lv Xin and Youshui as well. They ran in just to observe their mistress caressing the little boy’s back.

The morning sunlight shone on Tianci’s little face, making it red and making him cuter.

Hua Qiyue instructed Lv Xin to close the curtains and darken the room. The little boy went back to his calm slumber.

The hatred in her heart was like a flood, almost drowning the patient heart of Hua Qiyue. However, she did know that the most important objective now was to cure Tianci’s throat.

She would have plenty of chance for revenge later as the devious woman and man would definitely find her.

Hua Qiyue signaled for Lv Xin and Youshui to go down as she still had lingering tears.

For the next half a month, Hua Qiyue brought Tianci to Prince Nan’s mansion to get rid of the toxins every three days.

Yun Shimo had deep prejudice towards Hua Qiyue. Every time she brought Tianci to the living room, Yun Shimo would bring Tianci straight to the room without looking at her.

His pharmacy apprentice would then block Hua Qiyue from entering the room.

With the previous lesson, Hua Qiyue would no longer act rashly. Furthermore, Tianci was familiar with Yun Shimo and had stopped screaming like last time.

Yun Shimo treated Hua Qiyue as if she was a serpent. Every time he came out of the room, he had his pharmacy apprentice blocking her to prevent her from lying on him again.

Hua Qiyue was lazy to deal with such a petty man like Yun Shimo. While Tianci was treated, Hua Qiyue was cultivating by entering that mysterious world. Even though each entry was only half an hour, but the time was precious to her.

Second Madame, Third Madame, and Hua Mengshi seemed quite obedient.

They seemed to be waiting for an opportunity. Hua Qiyue merely asked for the recovered Nanny Wang to spy on Second Madame for her.

Hua Qiyue knew that the calmness was only a pretense as Hua Mengshi would not let this matter settle. She must be waiting for an opportunity.

Old Madame came back from Philanthropy Temple and cared more about Hua Qiyue. Thus, for these days, Hua Qiyue spend her days accompanying her son and Old Madame, quietly cultivating in her free time, advancing her Qi Art to Soaring Cloud standard!

Furthermore, her Spirit Summoning Art reached the bottom second level.

The happiest person for these days was Tianpi. Every time she saw him, he was humming.

Hua Qiyue could recognize the tone. It was an old song called “Flower Finding Moon”.

The name of the song was just a word away from her name.

That song was composed by an outstanding woman a thousand years ago. The music was melodious and bold, manlier than even men.

Even after a thousand years, this song was still well loved by many.

Hua Qiyue didn’t think much but focused on her cultivation, refusing to slack off.

Even though Hua Mengshi had only completed Oracle Profound, Ji family was still a world-renowned medical family. Even though females seldom achieve much in Qi Art, Hua Qiyue knew that there must be prodigies around.

If she could not win, she would have missed a great opportunity!

Thus, she must keep cultivating, keep progressing and keep herself stronger.

The day before the deadline of registration, Hua Qiyue sat in the hot spring at night, clasping her hands as huge amounts of spiritual qi entered her body.

Tianpi sat next to the hot spring, with green grass in his mouth, glancing at Hua Qiyue in the hot spring.

She worked hard every single time. The tediousness of cultivation could only be understood by those who had done it.

During the cultivation, one would be incredibly tired. However, after the cultivation, if one was successful, one would feel incredibly relaxed.

If one was not successful, one would be more tired.

Many women were unable to endure such fatigue of cultivation and some had gone mad from the pressure. Thus, few women achieved much in Qi Art compared to man.

However, Hua Qiyue was like a strong man, completely unafraid of the pain and suffering brought about by cultivation.

Hua Qiyue closed her eyes tightly. The hot spring water coupled with the strong emergence of spiritual qi made her face bright red.

The spiritual qi was crazily tumbling, making her body bloated. Hua Qiyue’s face turned from red to pale, from blue to black, changing constantly, making Tianpi worried and scared, locking his brows.

She was really risking her life!

Hua Qiyue felt as if all the cells in her entire body were pushed apart as a sweet tangy taste rose up her throat. It was blood that flowed out of her mouth.

Seeing that, Tianpi’s handsome face tightened with nervousness. He jumped up and almost leaped into the pond.

But he suppressed his desire.

He was already more than 700 years old and how could he still be impatient? He knew that all those who succeeded in the past had faced challenges and defeats in both their physical and mental state. How could those who did not pass through this barrier succeed?

Thus, he decided to wait for her to endure this pain herself…

Tianpi took out the grass in his mouth, turned around and walked away.

The sky was brighter than before as a ray of light morning sunshine penetrated across the cloud, landing itself on this barren plain.

Tianpi walked for about tens of meters before hearing a loud thud from behind…

He turned back immediately, with unconcealable shock in his eyes. As he turned back, he could only feel the approaching water mist, with a few water droplets lying on his face. Following the splashing sound of water, he saw that water erupted to mid-air like a silver pillar that was round and straight, shining with silvery light.

At the fountain, a light green color was present, Tianpi opened his eyes and mouth out of shock as he couldn’t even close them.

The water pillar suddenly disappeared, as if it had been sucked away by the sky.

“Genius, genius… Haha, the genius of the genius! Only 12 days and you are of Dragon Diagram standard. Amazing, outstanding! Haha!” Tianpi laughed crazily, running around for a few hundred rounds before stopping.

Hua Qiyue had walked out of the hot spring. Her whole body was wet as she had entirely entered the mysterious world this time, with her real physical body.

She had used her mental state to cultivate before. However, at a higher level of Qi Art, she would need to use her real body or the cultivation would be so slow that she would not be able to reach Soaring Cloud standard even till the day of her death.

A beauty coming out of bath would always be mesmerizing.

And Hua Qiyue now, together with her seductive features exemplified by the skin tight dress which showed her sexy figure, was wholly exposed in front of Tianpi.

Her brows were curved without being drawn, her lips red without lipsticks on, her skin soft and firm like a newborn infant. Her skin was bright and smooth and bouncy.

Her eyes were watery like a pure spring that was clear and deep. Tianpi felt as if he was about to be absorbed by her beautiful gaze.

Hua Qiyue, however, nodded without decorum to Tianpi. “Thank you, Master, for your teachings for these days. Your disciple is quite impressive now. I’ll go back first. Enjoy the hot spring, Master!”

As she spoke, she pressed her green jade gourd at her waist and returned to the living room of Cuihua Court in Hua’s Mansion.

Behind the curtains, Tianci and Lv Xin were playing. It was already around 7 a.m. of the next day. Looking at her drenched clothes, she decided to change into a set of new one. She had been in the hot spring for so long that she need not bathe again.

After changing out, Youshui was shocked to find Hua Qiyue awake as she walked in. “Miss, when did you wake up?”

Hua Qiyue said that she would be resting inside the room and asked for no one to disturb her. Thus, Tianci had to sleep with Lv Xin in the guest room. After playing for many days with these two servants, Tianci was no longer scared of them.

The friendly Lv Xin and Youshui loved Tianci as the boy was white and chubby, cuter than any kid.

“Just now… help me comb my hair into a simple bundle.”

Hua Qiyue gave the order lightly. Youshui nodded and went forth to comb her hair.

“Later… I’ll sign up.”

“Sign up?”

“Yes, Ji family’s platform martial arts tournament. I must go!”

Youshui’s eyes widened in shock as she believed that she heard wrongly. “Miss, what did you say?”
