Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 31 Qin Linglong's Letter
Besides, this place is at least better than that Huaiwang Mansion, which is devoid of any family affection.

According to the system's prompts, Li Yueyao is not a kind person.

On the surface she is gentle, but in reality she is a ruthless and cold-faced empress.

If anyone dares to speak ill of others again when we return to the Prince Huai's residence, they might just die some kind of death.

That would bring a whole host of troubles, and Li Qiye dislikes trouble the most; quietly letting things fizzle out is the best approach.

Just then, a guard rushed over, about to speak, but Li Yueyao stopped him with a raised hand.

The meaning was very clear: she wanted that person to wait aside and not disturb her brother Qiye's rest.

Upon seeing this, the guard hesitated, wondering whether he should listen to Li Yueyao.

He was clearly aware of Li Yueyao's status in the Prince Huai's residence.

When he saw Li Yueyao's cold eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine and immediately shut his mouth, standing obediently to the side to wait.

At that moment, in Li Qiye's mind, two figures drawn by his primordial spirits were engaged in a fierce battle. One of them was enveloped in Nanming Fire, and behind him was a huge phantom of a Vermilion Bird.

The illusory figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, and with every move it made, it exuded an aura of earth-shattering power, leaving behind scorching flames wherever it went.

The other figure rode on a Kunpeng, moving with incredible speed, appearing and disappearing without a trace, leaving only afterimages.

Clearly, Li Qiye was simulating the battle in his mind, identifying his weaknesses during the battle, and then making up for them.

A roar!
With a deafening collision, the figure controlling the Southern Bright Fire was grabbed by a giant dragon claw and then shattered.

Relying solely on the Southern Bright Fire without corresponding techniques is far inferior to the Supreme Imperial Dragon Manual and the Cloud Dream Building Cultivation Method.

Li Qiye also realized the truth.

The book on his face moved without any wind, and only then did he open his eyes and look at the guard.

"what's up?"

Seeing that Li Qiye did not blame him, the guard breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully said, "Your Highness, we have good news of victory at the front."

"Our side has recovered the lost cities. General Qin Rentu personally led the expedition, personally killing a Void Realm expert from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and severely injuring a Void Realm elder from the Primordial Holy Land. The old general only suffered minor injuries, which boosted the morale of our army and caused the morale of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to plummet."

"besides……"

At this point, the guard stopped and looked at Li Yueyao beside him.

"Since this is a military secret, I naturally cannot listen to it!"

Li Yueyao said with a smile.

She wasn't angry at all and prepared to turn away.

He can still distinguish right from wrong on such matters.

"There's no need to avoid it. If it were truly a military secret, it wouldn't reach the ears of someone like me, the tenth prince."

Li Qiye chuckled and nodded to the guard, saying, "Go on."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The guard then carefully presented a piece of jade and said, "This is a secret letter from Miss Qin, specially sent for Your Highness."

"Miss Qin?"

Li Yueyao, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up her ears.

She quickly guessed who this person was.

Qin Linglong!
She has connections with her brother Qiye and shares the same surname, Qin. There is no one else besides Qin Linglong.

The reason why Li Yueyao had an impression of Qin Linglong was because in her childhood memories, Brother Qiye always hovered around this woman, and she followed behind him like a little shadow.

At that time, she didn't know what love was, but she subconsciously felt very dissatisfied with Qin Linglong.

In Li Yueyao's eyes, Brother Qiye was so good to Qin Linglong that she was envious and jealous.

But Qin Linglong didn't appreciate it at all, which was really despicable.

In the end, Li Yueyao felt very fortunate that Qin Linglong ignored her brother Qiye, which gave her more time to spend with him.

But what's going on now?

Qin Linglong actually took the initiative to write a letter to Brother Qiye? After Xiao Yun was killed in the assassination attempt on Brother Qiye, a different situation arose compared to the previous life.

Brother Qiye, could it be that you're with Qin Linglong...?

For a moment, Li Yueyao dared not think any further and her expression became tense.

“A delicate talisman.”

Li Qiye reached out and took the jade, nodded to the guard and said, "You've worked hard. Go to the steward and collect one hundred spirit stones."

"Thank you, Your Highness Qiye!"

The guard was overjoyed and turned to leave with utmost respect.

In fact, this jade stone is a kind of symbol, which is also a kind of ancient symbolic script, and can store words and sounds in the jade stone.

It also involves the Daoist principles of space, but unfortunately, they have been lost.

However, Li Qiye also missed the technological products he had on Earth in his previous life. Although the level of development was not very high, they were already very convenient.

For example, their communication methods are far more advanced than those in this fantasy world.

However, even this talisman is not something that ordinary people can use.

"Perhaps I can construct a network of divine thoughts, deeply embed my divine thoughts within it, and then achieve the goal of long-distance communication..."

Li Qiye thought to himself.

"Brother Qiye, did your sister-in-law bring back a token this time?"

Li Yueyao pretended not to know anything and leaned closer, asking with a smile.

Snap!
Li Qiye tapped Li Yueyao on the head and said irritably, "Don't pretend you don't know me. You know Qin Linglong."

"Also, she's not your sister-in-law; she's just a close friend for now."

As Li Qiye spoke, he implanted his divine sense into the jade.

With the implantation of divine sense, Qin Linglong's figure quickly appeared before him.

"Hmph, just because it's not like that now doesn't mean it won't be like that in the future..."

Li Yueyao pouted, thinking to herself.

However, her gaze also fell upon the illusory figure.

In her previous life, because of her background, Li Yueyao was looked down upon from a young age, and had a timid and inferior personality, never really looking at Qin Linglong.

This was the first time she had ever carefully observed Qin Linglong.

Perhaps because she had been on the battlefield, Qin Linglong had a sharp look between her brows and a faint bloodshot in her eyes.

She wore silver armor that perfectly accentuated her beautiful curves.

The pride that women are born with, combined with their heroic spirit on the battlefield, creates a unique kind of beauty.

Overall, she is a good match for her brother Qiye.

Li Yueyao thought to herself.

If Li Qiye had been completely ineligible for the throne and the crown prince, Li Yueyao would naturally not have considered the issue of her status, nor would she have needed to care about the opinions of others.

But things are different now. With the talent and strength that Brother Qiye has shown, as long as he doesn't refuse on his own initiative, the throne is probably his for the taking.

In this situation, Li Yueyao naturally had to consider more factors.

Although she herself didn't care and didn't care what others said, as long as she was strong enough, she could naturally shut them up.

In her previous life, she spent her entire life searching for a way to revive Li Qiye.

In this life, she is destined to care only about Li Qiye.

Li Yueyao absolutely did not want to hear anyone say bad things about Li Qiye, not even rumors.

Li Qiye probably never imagined that just because he helped Li Yueyao once when they were children, she would be treated like this.
