Lie Family Mansion inside. At this moment, it was as if experiencing both fire and ice. Concerning the scandal involving the pleasure boat, Yue Jinghua was the most delighted, while the most furious, aside from Fa Xiaoyi, was Lie Sisi. If one spoke of malicious intent, Fa Xiaoyi truly could not compare to Lie Sisi. Whether it was the incident with the Once in Spring Tea or the desire to humiliate Yue Jinghua, all were prompted by Lie Sisi forcing Fa Xiaoyi to agree. She had been joyfully waiting at home for Yue Jinghua’s return, disgraced and discredited, yet instead, what awaited her was the farcical display of Fa Xiaoyi. What she coveted was the esteemed position of a Princess, or even the throne of the Queen of Shang Kingdom, but what came instead was a scandalous mark. After this scandal, even if Yue Jinghua and Fa Xiaoyi dissolved their marriage, Second Young Master Lie would decisively object to letting Lie Sisi marry a man like Fa Xiaoyi. Even if Second Young Master Lie agreed, to marry such a man tarnished by scandal was not at all what Lie Sisi wished for. "In the end, all this blame falls on Yue Jinghua," Lie Sisi seethed with anger, refusing to visit Fa Xiaoyi for several days. It wasn’t until Fa Xiaoyi had a letter sent to her, filled with tender feelings, explanations, and defences, that her heart felt somewhat at ease. However, after this incident, Lie Sisi despised Yue Jinghua even more, thinking of how to drive the mother and daughter of the Yue Family out of the house. Meanwhile, what did Yue Jinghua, supposedly "desolate and drained", look like in the eyes of the Poluo City public? Yue Jinghua was in seclusion, an unanticipated retreat. She had taken her revenge on Fa Xiaoyi, and she needn’t worry about him seeking vengeance. Yue Jinghua was not at all concerned that Fa Xiaoyi would publicize the matter. Firstly, no one believed that she, a known good-for-nothing, could defeat a Dark Earth Rank expert. Only then it became clear that wearing the big hat of a good-for-nothing was quite useful. Secondly, Yue Jinghua’s actions had indirectly helped Fa Xiaoyi achieve his goal of dissolving the marriage; it was a matter of sooner or later, but now the initiative lay with Yue Jinghua. Thirdly, by Yue Jinghua’s understanding of Fa Xiaoyi, he must surely have started investigating the "master" behind her, but no matter how he searched, it was impossible for him to find any leads. The so-called master was nothing but an illusion created by Yue Jinghua taking advantage of Pu Yin to launch a surprise attack, a nonexistent "master" that forced Fa Xiaoyi into inaction. The entire situation unfolded just as Yue Jinghua predicted, except for one unforeseen matter. She made a breakthrough, achieving it a day after entering seclusion. That day on the pleasure boat, Yue Jinghua felt it, that her Dark Power was on the cusp of breaking through, which is why she hastily left after instructing Hong Yao. Fortunately, the incident with Fa Xiaoyi occurred, and whether it was Lie Rou or others (except a few in the know), they all thought it was best not to disturb Yue Jinghua for the time being. In these three days, Yue Jinghua could just nicely digest the benefits brought by the breakthrough in her cultivation. This breakthrough was yet another one after three months. Having been on the Canglong Continent for half a year, Yue Jinghua had experienced several significant breakthroughs. The previous breakthroughs were built on the solid foundation of "Yue Jinghua’s" early cultivation; with such a solid foundation, Yue Jinghua felt no discomfort even as her cultivation rose. This breakthrough came surprisingly suddenly, so unexpectedly that even Yue Jinghua hadn’t anticipated it. After pondering, Yue Jinghua realized a principle: Dark Practitioners must avoid distractions in their mind. Whether it was her attitude towards Liao or "Yue Jinghua" herself, it was a kind of bond, and this kind of bond affected her cultivation. In half a year, advancing from Dark Human to Dark Earth, such an astonishing speed in cultivation would surely draw attention if it were known. Fortunately, the unique nature of the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique kept her Dark Power in a state undetectable to others. Aside from those who had actually crossed hands with her, and those who had fought her either were dead or would never reveal her skill, so far, not many people knew that Yue Jinghua possessed Dark Power. The swift advancement in cultivation required Yue Jinghua to seclude herself for a few days to consolidate her strength. The Dark Energy in her Dantian settled, and in her mind, it was as if countless streaks of starlight were flashing, dazzlingly brilliant. After the flashes faded, within Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness arose a star, the Dark Earth Realm.
