Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1614: Chapter 1594: Outdated Information

”Thinking about it carefully, except for the empresses and princesses without cultivation levels, the royal family’s personality has become somewhat unpredictable.” Huangfu Yihui frowned as well. He and Huangfu Yanyao were naturally not the type to sit idly by. After so many days here, how could they just sit around and do nothing, let alone alarm the royal family? How could they shine at the sect tournament venue?

It’s just that by then, they would have become members of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, rather than the fugitives they are now.

Even then, if the Southern Li Royal Family wanted to do anything, they would have to consider their own abilities before acting, wouldn’t they?

However, their investigation left them shocked. Normally the most lecherous and cultivation-inept brothers were now capable of cultivation. It was as if the entire royal family had been cleansed or even changed blood. The people before them were full of unfamiliarity, making them dare not even recognize them!

”Drastic personality changes, and unpredictable cultivation levels. Although the royal family never valued familial blood ties, now those bonds seem even weaker. Now the royal family, let alone using us as sacrifices, could probably do even more cruel things.” Huangfu Yihui said slowly after a pause.

Huangfu Yanyao kept nodding. Now, even if they said they wanted to eat them, those people wouldn’t hesitate. Such feelings made him feel both unfamiliar and sad.

When did the royal family become a place that would stop at nothing for personal interest? When they were young, before their talents were separated, didn’t they learn the path of ruling that prioritized love for the people?

The books clearly wrote in meticulous strokes about virtue being one’s duty, about a benevolent person loving their country...

Now, a series of royal decrees, though unnoticed in the city, have already become unbearable in the suburbs and other towns outside the city. How could they not be alarmed?

And Huangfu Huang, he is no longer like himself, looking extremely unfamiliar. Even if he were to attack them in the next moment, they wouldn’t be surprised, as if this was to be expected.

”I haven’t found much about the royal family.” Wang Mazi said after a moment of silence. Seeing everyone’s gaze, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, ”The imperial palace is heavily guarded. It’s hard to gather information, not to mention people. Even rats can’t get out...”

Mo nodded, having witnessed incredible things when they visited last time. Now, he even believed if someone said the royal family increased their power by eating human flesh!

After all, their power increased too quickly, faster than those who received the highest teachings from sect elders, even surpassing record-breaking geniuses. If not a genius, not a prodigy, then there must be something sinister. Anomalies indicate something uncanny, so there are definitely unspeakable secrets behind this.

”Hurry up and speak!” Luo Qianqian impatiently pulled out a pack of snacks: ”Finish speaking and I’ll give you something to eat.”

Wang Mazi: ”???” Were they treating him like a child? But those snacks did look quite tempting?

He Wenyu noticed Wang Mazi’s loosened expression and directly took out a pack of snacks: ”Take them away later!”

”It’s actually nothing much, just that, do you know about dual cultivation? Different from that, the harem had some furnace cauldrons appear, existing to be exploited by men, raised with some Limit Pill, as consumables...”

As soon as Wang Mazi finished speaking, Luo Qianqian’s expression changed. Consumables? So, the final outcome for these so-called ’furnace cauldrons’ is death? Without their own will, sacrificing themselves and even their lives for the royal family’s needs?

”Limit Pill?” Mo was momentarily stunned. Weren’t those men under the effect of Limit Pills that stimulated their potential?

After thinking for a long time, Yan, who had the same difficult expression, let out a sigh: ”No way...”

Yan nodded, but said nothing, his already pale face looking even grimmer.

”What!” Luo Qianqian, watching the two play word games, became anxious, immediately jumping up and slamming the table: ”Stop playing games! Can you explain what’s going on?”

”It’s just using a woman’s body to convert and absorb spiritual energy. Compared to simple cultivation, it’s both easy and without barriers.” Mo said after a moment of silence.

Luo Qianqian’s face immediately darkened: ”Are you praising this method?!”

”I’m not finished, besides unstable realms, being beaten by someone weaker by tenfold, there are no other issues.” Mo added leisurely.

Luo Qianqian: ”...”

”So what’s there to worry about?” Luo Qianqian looked at Mo in confusion.

Mo shrugged and sighed lightly: ”It seems that way, but you must know, without barriers, they don’t need to go through Heavenly Tribulation, so as long as there are enough drugs and furnace cauldrons, they are limitless.”

Only then did Luo Qianqian finally look grim. So that’s how it is. She was wondering what she had overlooked!

”Then... do you think that flower-picking thief could be from the Southern Li Royal Family?” Finishing, Luo Qianqian stomped her foot violently: ”Am I inherently clashing with every royal family? And I especially like to help fallen princes?”

”Him? Impossible. Even before Southern Li had problems, the Carefree Young Master already gained fame, though mostly infamous, he was said to be a genius of exceptional beauty. I encountered him back then, but I was busy with tasks, so I didn’t investigate closely.” Wang Mazi shook his head, wiped his mouth, and joined the conversation after finishing the snacks: ”Actually, I remember the Southern Li Royal Family had some secret affairs before, but I don’t know what exactly. I just know that Southern Li Country was extremely powerful at that time, almost dominating the entire continent.”

”So when are you talking about?” Even Huangfu Yihui couldn’t help rolling his eyes. Not to say, but such a thing hasn’t been heard of since I was born, has it? And over the years, there’s been no indication that Southern Li is so strong to have nations paying tribute.

If Southern Li were indeed that powerful, why would they need to sacrifice him? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly; it seemed laughable even to him.

It’s like when a village in some place suffers a prolonged drought, so the village chief decides to sacrifice his own son to the River God or Dragon King in hopes of rain. Ridiculous, isn’t it? Does losing a life guarantee rain? And if it doesn’t rain, will they say the River God was displeased with the offering?

Thinking about it is laughable, but when it falls upon oneself, it isn’t funny at all.

”Thinking back, I saw that book in... um... a long time ago, almost weathered and nearly used to plaster walls.” Wang Mazi shrugged.

Luo Qianqian: ”...” What use are outdated messages?!
