My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

After Yun Cang left, the several people looked at the mission list in their hands again, then exchanged glances.

“Looks like we have to complete the missions separately.” Lou Mu Bai placed his teacup down and put away the list.

Yun Lan and the rest could only nod in agreement. It would be impossible to find so many items on the list without completing the missions separately.

“Then I’ll leave first. You guys be careful.” Yun Luo stood up and said before leaving the wooden hut.

Chi Yi Xuan glanced at Lou Mu Yan deeply, and the hand that held the list tightened. Then he also stood up and said: “I’m leaving too. Mu Yan and you all, be careful!”

“Let’s go. See you all in six days. Everyone take care!” Lou Mu Yan finished the tea in her cup, then stood up and said to the several people with a smile.

Although Lou Mu Bai felt uneasy about his younger sister, but he also hoped that she could grow up independently. His eyes carried some encouragement, “Yan’er, be careful on your way. If you encounter anyone or a Demonic Beast that you can’t beat, then run. Your life is the most important.”

“Yep, Elder Brother too.” Lou Mu Yan carried warmth in her eyes.

“Mu Yan, be careful. Here’s a signal flare of the Imperial Family. If something happens, you can release this signal and we’ll come as soon as possible.” Yun Lan took out a small, black wooden box from his interspatial ring and handed it to Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan took the wooden box and nodded with a smile: “Elder Cousin Brother, you guys also need to be careful.”

“It’s really boring to do missions alone.” Xiao Xi Ang said listlessly.

Yun Jin patted him on the shoulder and said: “Brother, you take good care of yourself. Make sure not to be eliminated.”

“You too. Alright, we’re talking as if we’ll be separated for a long time. I’m leaving too.” Xiao Zi Ang sighed with a bit of reluctance in his eyes. But this was what they must experience. And he was afraid that if he continued to delay this, he wouldn’t want to go out to complete the mission alone anymore, so he quickly walked out of the wooden hut.

“Let’s go too.” Lou Mu Yan was also a bit affected by everyone’s emotions.

“Alright!”

Two hours later, Lou Mu Yan entered a hillside blooming with fresh flowers. She walked over, looked around the densely packed flowers of various colours, then finally uprooted a small pink-yellow flower among them and put it away.

“Finished one mission item, still nineteen more to look for.” Lou Mu Yan left the hillside and said to Mo Yan in her arms.

Mo Yan’s indifferent eyes were as calm as water, “You can find it all in a day.”

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes curved as she reached out her hand and rubbed Mo Yan’s furry head, then said with a smile: “Your talent for finding Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Items really is Heaven-defying. After we finish finding the twenty mission items, I’ll first find a place to help you refine the pill.”

Mo Yan’s brows were knitted tightly together as he looked up at Lou Mu Yan unhappily and said: “Don’t rub my head.”

He, a King that reigned over a portion of the Demonic World was actually being rubbed on the head by a human woman. If other Demonic Clans knew, wouldn’t he be laughed to death.

“Rubbing your head shows intimacy. Since we’re life-and-death partners, it’s just rubbing your head, what does it matter? Mo Yan, sometimes you’re really quarrelsome.” Lou Mu Yan pursed her lips. She definitely wouldn’t admit that it was because Mo Yan’s furry head felt too good that she couldn’t help but want to touch it.

Mo Yan took a deep breath. Lou Mu Yan really evoked a lot of emotions that he hadn’t felt for many years. He told himself inwardly not to argue with this woman.

In the Glacial Mountain Range, there was a white silhouette that whizzed and darted about, with speed comparable to even a Tier 4 flying-type Demonic Beast.

After Lou Mu Yan advanced to Sword Spirit Master, the Silk-Mist Steps that’s a part of her Flash Step Manual had become a slight burden. So she utilised a faster footwork within the Flash Step, drifting towards the position indicated by Mo Yan.

“It seems that I should contract a flying-type Demonic Beast as a mount. Using Flash Step nonstop really wastes a lot of Spiritual Energy.” After putting the fifteenth mission item into her interspatial ring, Lou Mu Yan muttered to herself.

Mo Yan wasn’t too shocked by Lou Mu Yan’s ghostly skills anymore. Instead, he felt that no matter what amazing things this woman did, it was all normal.

He also agreed with her thoughts, “Your skills that can move and change steps is more suitable for combat. Using it for travel wastes too much energy and the speed’s much slower than that of a Demonic Beast. Contracting a flying-type Demonic Beast sounds good.”

“Then you pay attention. If there’s a Demonic Beast that’s not that bad, we’ll up and get it.” Lou Mu Yan couldn’t help but rub Mo Yan’s furry head again.

Mo Yan lowered his eyes to hide the helplessness in them—forget it, he’ll just let this woman do as she liked.

“Alright. Keep going, the Ice Serpent Fruit should be in that mountain.” Mo Yan probed the area using his innate talent calmly, then said as he looked towards the ice mountain in the far east.

Lou Mu Yan took out a bottle of Elemental Energy Replenishing Pills. She didn’t rest and utilised her Flash Step straight towards the ice mountain.

Half a day passed, and Lou Mu Yan clutched a green fruit as she ran, in a rather sorry state. The roar of Demonic Beasts echoed from behind incessantly.

Only after the Demonic Beast auras behind her gradually distanced and disappeared did she leap onto a big tree to recover her strength, gasping.

After taking an Elemental Energy Replenishing Pill, she put the green fruit into her interspatial ring and said to Mo Yan with lingering fear: “Just now it was all thanks to your pressure as a Royal Clan that stopped them for a few breaths, otherwise it would’ve been dangerous today.”

They also encountered a lot of Demonic Beasts guarding when searching for the mission items, but she easily obtained them.

Except, when they were looking for the last mission item, they attracted four Tier 5 Demonic Beasts to attack, and one of them was even a late-stage Tier 5 Mammoth. She used a lot of methods, plus Mo Yan releasing his innate talent once, to be able to shake off those Demonic Beasts.

“I believe that even if we couldn’t shake them off, you’d still be able to take care of them.” Mo Yan stood on Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder and spoke calmly.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “I can take care of them, but maybe I’d have to use my trump cards.”

“I sure do want to see just what trump cards you have left.” Mo Yan just saw Lou Mu Yan use another skill he hadn’t seen before, and his curiosity grew even deeper.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow: “You want to know? I won’t tell you.”

Mo Yan’s dark eyes deepened. He was already accustomed to the little temper that this woman occasionally exposed. He didn’t answer, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Lou Mu Yan’s lips curved up and didn’t say anymore either. After setting up an Array to hide her aura, she took a pill to recover.

Four hours later, she opened her eyes and poked the little white beast lying in front of her, “I’ve recovered, Mo Yan, let’s go find a place to refine pills.”

“Let’s go find the Deep Orchid you want first. You can refine pills anytime.” Mo Yan opened his eyes and said lightly.

Lou Mu Yan thought a bit, then nodded: “That’s fine too! Have you detected the Deep Orchid’s aura?”

“Not the Deep Orchid’s aura, but I did find the Demonic Beast, the Scarlet-Frost Jiao¹ that’s guarding it. It’s a two hour’s journey to the west. Let’s go.” After Mo Yan finished speaking, he leapt onto Lou Mu Yan’s shoulder and closed his eyes to rest again.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were filled with joy. Was she finally going to find it?

Two hours later, Lou Mu Yan stood near a deep pond wound in green mist with furrowed brows as she observed her surroundings.

“Someone’s coming.” Mo Yan’s voice suddenly resounded in her Sea of Consciousness.

At the same time, a Mental Energy locked onto her location.

The other party had already discovered them, and it was too late to escape. Alertness flashed across the bottom of Lou Mu Yan’s eyes, and she turned to look towards the woods not far away.

Not long afterwards, she saw three people walk out of the woods. The leader amongst them was tall, wore a silver mask, and his red clothes billowed in the wind, flamboyant and uninhibited.

Ming Xiu’s eyes were dyed with a layer of a smile, and he looked at the gorgeous, stunning, white-clothed woman opposite him as his thin lips opened: “Woman, we meet again.”

Translated product by May Our 梦 Come True

¹for some reason the author really likes the word 赤 (red/crimson) LOL. She named the Jiao, the Cold-Mist Jiao (寒雾蛟) in chapter 85 and now she’s naming this Jiao the ‘Scarlet-Cold Jiao’ (赤寒蛟). Which reminds me of what I translated before, ‘Chi’huo Continent’ (赤火大陆) uses the same ‘chi’ (赤). I thought the one in this chapter and Chi’huo Continent are both typos but for once I’m translating ahead and she keeps using Scarlet-Frost Jiao. Which makes me remember that she has changed the names of previous Demonic Beasts too and she stuck with the changed name instead of the original, so most likely this Jiao is stuck with ‘Scarlet-Frost Jiao’ now. As for Chi’huo Continent, that’s most likely a typo. I’ll fix it up when I have to eventually. Now, why do I get the feeling it’s the name of a continent in one of her other series… or a kingdom in one of her other series… Can’t remember now.

Note: YAYYYY Ming Xiu appears~~~ More chapters with him and Lou Mu Yan to come!!! XD. MX’s so bold next chapter, but LMY won’t lose her ground either HAHA
