My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Respective Plans
Both of them were members of the Imperial Family. Yun Jin's maternal clan's background was also very strong, so she wasn't afraid of the Imperial Family making things difficult for them after giving them the Marrow Cleansing Pills.
“Just take it. My aunt has always doted on me like her own daughter. We're relatives, it's just a pill, no need to bother about it.” Lou Mu Yan smiled, paying it no mind.
Yun Lan slightly revealed his gratefulness. He didn't expect that this cousin that he had only met a few times would be this forthright and generous. Though his Empress Mother definitely played a large role.
“Alright! Then I won't be polite. This Marrow Cleansing Pill is indeed very important to me. I'll remember this personal favour. If Mu Yan has anything you need in the future, you can come and find me.” Yun Lan promised with a smile.
“Sure!” Lou Mu Yan blinked.
“Lou Mu Yan, Yun Lan's your cousin, it makes sense for you to give it to him. But why give it to me?” Yun Jin couldn't figure out why Lou Mu Yan also gifted her one. Unless it was just because of what happened earlier where he supported her with some money? But that's impossible!
Lou Mu Yan didn't conceal it either, “Last time I was injured by that little white flower, it was you who prevented her from destroying my dan'tian, then sent me back to the General's Mansion. Consider this Marrow Cleansing Pill as returning that personal favour.”
“That's just a trivial matter, it's not worth you giving me such a valuable pill.” Yun Jin did desire this pill very much, but he still felt that it wasn't good to just take such a valuable thing from Lou Mu Yan without giving anything in return.
Lou Mu Yan held her forehead, then glared at him: “Isn't it fine to just find you pleasing to the eye? A big man like you being so wishy-washy, if you don't want it then return it.”
“I want it, how could I not want it.” Yun Jin put the pill into his interspatial ring with a mischievous grin, fearing that Lou Mu Yan really regretted it and wanted it back, “Lou Mu Yan, don't worry, this big brother will cover for you in the Imperial Academy from now on. If anyone bullies you again, I'll break her leg.”
Yun Jin glanced indicatively at Gu Yan Ran—he never liked this scheming woman.
Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “No need, I'll clean up those random cats and dogs.”
Hearing the unscrupulous words between the two, Gu Yan Ran's face paled and hatred rose in her heart, but her expression was aggrieved. Her white teeth bit her lower lip, as if she wanted to cry yet was holding it back. It was just like a delicate flower that was being ravaged by the wind.
But it was a pity that Chi Yi Xuan's thoughts weren't on her at all, and the others were even more uninterested in her. Her behaviour was completely ignored.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to burst out immediately. Her nails were deeply embedded in her palm. After the Academy's annual competition, she would definitely strike Lou Mu Yan back into the dust she had been in before. As for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she would definitely obtain one to wash her marrow, cleanse her body and widen her meridians.
Gu Yan Ran's eyes flickered. When the auction was over, she should enter the palace. She believed that her elder sister would definitely help her remove Lou Mu Yan and obtain the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
“Lou Mu Yan, do you still have anymore Marrow Cleansing Pills? Can you sell one to me?” Xiao Zi Ang couldn't help but look at Lou Mu Yan expectantly.
He expected nothing from the one that was being auctioned. After all, he didn't bring many ink-gold coins with him, but if he was given some time, he definitely could return to his clan and gather the ink-gold coins necessary to buy the pill.
Xiao Zi Ang's words also represented the feelings of the others. No Sword Master below Sword Monarch would be indifferent to this kind of pill.
Lou Mu Yan shrugged and said: “No more. I've given my last two away.”
Hearing this, the face of those that also wanted to ask revealed disappointment. They all unanimously scoffed 'spendthrift' in their hearts and was exceptionally envious of Yun Jin's good fortune. But they didn't really believe that Lou Mu Yan no longer had anymore Marrow Cleansing Pills. Except, they needed to think about it for a little bit first.
Yun Xin clasped the corner of her clothes tightly and the gentle smile on her face seemed a little forced. Marrow Cleansing Pill? She must obtain it. A vicious look of desire flashed across her eyes, and she couldn't help but start to hate Lou Mu Yan.
Amongst those present, only Chi Yi Xuan's feelings were the most complicated. He didn't deny that he was very tempted by the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but he really couldn't lower his face and ask Lou Mu Yan for it. Seeing that she actually gifted two priceless Marrow Cleansing Pills to Yun Lan and Yun Jin at no cost, his heart hurt as if it was being cut by a knife.

Since when did Lou Mu Yan deliberately ignore him when she had something good? The former Lou Mu Yan would definitely cup the Marrow Cleansing Pill in her hands and offer it to him as if offering a treasure, just to receive a casual compliment of his.
Why did they suddenly become so estranged and unfamiliar? No. It should be why did Lou Mu Yan so resolutely abandoned him?
Chi Yi Xuan raised his eyes and took a deep look at the stunning woman who smiled like the sun, while he felt gloomy. Lou Mu Yan courted him and now she wanted to abandon him? Don't even think about it.
Chi Yi Xuan's face was extremely ugly, and there was a little disappointment in his eyes. The hands under his sleeves clenched tightly into fists. Upon seeing this, a trace of ridicule flashed in Yun Luo's eyes—he mistook a pearl for fish eyes1. He shouldn't blame others for the missed opportunity.
But as for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, who wouldn't be tempted by it. He needed to return and discuss it with his King Father.
Although Xiao Zi Ang was disappointed, he didn't want to pester Lou Mu Yan either. After all, she already said she only had two left. So he stared with a scorching gaze at the white porcelain bottle in Yun Lan's hand.
“A'Lan, we're good brothers, can't you show me the Marrow Cleansing Pill.”
Seeing Lou Mu Yan's indifference, Yun Lan handed the white porcelain bottle to Xiao Zi Ang. He knew the nature of this friend of his, and he wouldn't pocket it for himself.
Xiao Zi Ang took the bottle excitedly as if holding some sort of treasure, then carefully poured the pill out.
A smooth, round pill fell into his hand and a pill fragrance spread throughout the entire private room, making one feel refreshed. With the smell alone, they knew how extraordinary the pill was.
“This is a Grade 2 High-Quality pill. The Alchemist who refined this Marrow Cleansing Pill must be a Grade 2 Alchemist at least.” Xiao Zi Ang praised.
As he was afraid that the medicinal effects would be lost, after taking a look at the pill, he placed it back into the bottle, then turned to ask Lou Mu Yan, a little embarrassed: “Does Young Miss Lou perhaps know the Alchemist?”
“Don't know.” Lou Mu Yan shook her head firmly.
What a joke. The person who refined the pill was herself, how could she expose herself.
And even if she said it, probably no one would believe this pill was refined by her anyways, and they'd definitely think she was ill.
Besides, she didn't want to be in the limelight right now either. If people knew that she could refine a Grade 2 pill, her and her family's peaceful life would definitely be disturbed. At the very least, now wasn't the time to expose herself.
“Then that's a real pity.” Xiao Zi Ang was disappointed again.
He loved Alchemy and held a very respectful attitude towards high-level Alchemists. He didn't even need to guess to know that the Alchemist who could refine such a Heaven-defying pill was definitely a highly talented genius. It was a shame he couldn't meet that person just once.
Lou Mu Yan didn't care what others thought. She opened the cage on the ground and took out the palm-sized beast that had its eyes closed and scratched its head.
The little beast was initially still struggling, but as soon as Lou Mu Yan held it, it smelt the faint fragrance of medicine on her body, and also felt a very gentle Spiritual Energy exuding from her. It couldn't help but snuggle up closer against Lou Mu Yan.
The Spirit Devourer's eyes would be closed for the first three months from its birth, and it was only during this time that it was easy to be caught and contracted. It was practically impossible to tame it after it opened its eyes and developed higher intelligence.
The Spirit Devourer were unlike other Demonic Beasts where it needed to reach a certain Tier to bear wisdom. As they were a King Class Demonic Beast, after three months from birth, when they opened their eyes, was when they would bear intelligence. Their cultivation speed would also increase day by day.
“This Fire Cloud Mink is rather affectionate towards you. It seems that you two are destined.” Yun Lan put the pill away and said as he smiled at Lou Mu Yan.
Lou Mu Yan chuckled softly and nodded in a good mood: “We are indeed fated.”
The moment she hugged the Spirit Devourer earlier, she discovered an unusual Mental Energy within the little beast's body. It was secretly protecting the internal organs of the beast. She guessed that the origin of this Demonic Beast was extraordinary. She sure found a treasure this time.
