A Diary of a Character in Battle Through the Heavens! The Female Characters Have Gone Wrong!

Chapter 293 Cheating on the Spot! A Battle of Acting Skills with Yao Ling
"evidence?"

Yao Ling frowned her handsome brows, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Take it out."

“No problem.” Chu Xiao raised his hand, condensed a flame of Thunderous Emperor Flame, and threw it towards the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python: “This Ancient Heavenly Demon Python is my pet that I keep here.”

"You are a member of the imperial clan, so you must know a lot about the ancient wilderness and ferocious beasts, and know that such creatures are not easy to tame."

"If they weren't raised from a young age, they wouldn't obediently listen to others."

As soon as Chu Xiao finished speaking, the Thunderous Emperor Flame flew into the body of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python, leaving its mark on its soul.

However, in everyone's eyes, a flame mark appeared between the brows of the ancient demon python, as if it had just been awakened.

The Thunderous Emperor Flame contains the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, which, when combined with the power of the Ancient Void Dragon, can evolve the bloodline of magical beasts.

A single Myriad Beast Spirit Flame cannot rival the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python at the peak of the fifth level of the Dou Zun realm, but the Thunderous Emperor Flame, which can transform into the ninth level at any time, can.

As the mark appeared, the bloodline of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python underwent a slight change, with the violent elements within being devoured and refined by the Thunderous Emperor Flame.

"Roar!"

The ancient demon python's injuries began to heal visibly, and it soared into the air, charging towards Chu Xiao with astonishing momentum.

Cai Lin and Qing Lin's eyes narrowed instinctively, but relaxed the next moment.

That ancient demon python looked domineering, fierce, and even somewhat ferocious.

He stopped in front of Chu Xiao and lowered his head.

The meaning is very simple.

"It's alright, I'm here now."

Chu Xiao reached out and stroked the head of the ancient demon python. In the latter's blood-red eyes, a human-like joy appeared.

"How is it?" Chu Xiao asked Yao Ling.

Medicine Spirit: "."

If she were talking to someone else, she would believe that what Chu Xiao said was the truth.

However, because she had a copy of the notes, she knew very well that Chu Xiao was lying. He could only make the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python submit by using some special means.

However, the matter of the copy of the notes could not be exposed, so it seemed that she could only swallow this bitter pill.

"In that case, I'll return this ancient demonic python and the demonic blood pool to you!"

Yao Ling didn't make a fuss; instead, she readily gave everything to Chu Xiao.

Huo Zhi and the other women were not surprised by her reaction, but Chu Xiao was quite "surprised" and laughed, "I heard that your Medicine Clan is extremely arrogant, even conceited. Although you are ranked third from the bottom among the seven great imperial clans, you act as if you are number one."

"But your performance makes me feel that those evaluations are biased."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling instinctively frowned.

Chu Xiao's assessment of the Medicine Clan was actually perfectly correct.

In terms of overall combat strength, the Medicine Clan ranks fifth among the seven great imperial clans, only slightly stronger than the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan.

More than 70% of the core members of the Medicine Clan are alchemists, and they are among the best of the best.

In the Dou Qi Continent, alchemists hold a prestigious status and are often fawned over, inevitably leading to arrogance.

The flattery and adoration received by the Medicine Clan were clearly more numerous and concentrated than those received by ordinary alchemists.

Over time, they inevitably become arrogant.

“It’s not exactly biased.” Yao Ling raised her delicate chin: “Precisely because of my pride, I disdain to steal the success of others.”

"The ancient demon python and the demon blood pool are rare treasures, but they are not enough for me to shamelessly steal them."

Arrogance as it may be, his words were quite frank.

“Miss Yaoling, I admire you.” Chu Xiao raised his hand and clapped: “Your arrogance may sometimes lead you to make wrong judgments.”

"But at the same time, he made me feel that you are a very upright person with self-respect, which makes me want to work with you."

"Cooperation?" Yao Ling crossed his arms. "Who are you, and what kind of cooperation can we have?"

"How old are you this year?" Chu Xiao suddenly asked.

"Twenty-five," Yao Ling replied.

“I am twenty-one, my cultivation is higher than yours, my soul realm is higher than yours, and my alchemy skills are also superior to yours. Do you think I am qualified to cooperate with you?” Chu Xiao asked again.

"Whatever you say goes." Yao Ling's expression was shaken, as if she was shocked by the information Chu Xiao had revealed.

"You believe Huo Zhi's words, right?" Chu Xiao looked at Huo Zhi.

The latter immediately stepped forward to testify in his stead.

"I am a peak eighth-grade alchemist. You say you are better than me? Can you refine ninth-grade pills?" The medicine spirit's face showed disbelief.

Fire-Veil's lips curled slightly as she thought to herself how she had never noticed Yao Ling's acting skills before.

"Sure." Chu Xiao smiled confidently. "I can indeed refine one. I'm planning to refine another one next. If you're interested, you can watch. I don't mind letting you learn."

"Of course, all of this is contingent on your willingness to cooperate with me."

"What do you want to cooperate with me on?" Yao Ling asked after a slight hesitation. "You should have heard of the name Yao Chen, right?" Chu Xiao countered.

“I’ve heard of it.” Yao Ling’s eyes turned icy cold. “My Yao Clan’s outcast has managed to earn the empty title of the continent’s number one alchemist and establish a force called Starfall Pavilion, but that’s all there is to it.”

"I heard that he disappeared for decades, and recently news spread in the Northwest Continent that he had joined the Lingxiao Pavilion."

As she spoke, Yao Ling's expression suddenly froze, and she looked Chu Xiao up and down: "Could it be that you are Chu Xiao, the Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion?"

Girls: "."

These two have been talking for so long, and they still haven't officially revealed their identities.

"It is indeed I, the Pavilion Master," Chu Xiao nodded in acknowledgment.

"I heard that you refined the first ten-colored Dan Lei eighth-grade pill on the Dou Qi Continent, and even killed three half-saints?" Yao Ling's eyes deepened.

"Indeed." Chu Xiao nodded again.

"I should have realized it sooner. How could two people on the Dou Qi Continent possibly achieve something so outrageous?" Yao Ling nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Is the cooperation you mentioned related to that traitor Yao Chen?"

“That’s right.” Chu Xiao nodded slightly: “There’s a hidden story behind Yao Chen’s expulsion from the Yao Clan back then.”

"He is now the head of the Pill Hall of my Lingxiao Pavilion, and also my cousin's teacher. His only wish is to have his parents inscribed on the clan monument of the Medicine Clan. I must help him."

"Hidden truth?" Yao Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, her temperament grew colder, and she said solemnly, "I wonder what the truth Yao Chen speaks of is."

Chu Xiao immediately explained: "Old Yao was once a disciple of a branch of your Yao clan. When he was five years old, he betrayed his father Yao Huo and told his great-grandfather the story, promising to engrave his parents' names on the clan monument."

"To achieve this goal, Yao Chen began practicing martial arts like crazy after entering the clan school at the age of six. When he was thirteen, his father, as a member of the Yao clan's Iron Guard, went out on a mission and accidentally encountered people from the Soul Palace, and was hit by the Two Yin Life-Chasing Palms."

"Yao Qing, the mother of Yao Lao, went to the clan chief’s mansion to ask for a sixth-grade pill. Unfortunately, the clan chief and elders who had the authority to mobilize sixth-grade pills had left the clan with the demon saint. She could only obtain a life-saving pill with the help of Yao Lan, the chief elder of the clan school, but she still passed away in the end. Her last wish was to leave her name on the clan monument."

"When Yao Lao was fifteen years old, he won the championship in the alchemy competition. He then participated in the medicine gathering and achieved eighth place in the finals with two pills from one batch."

"During this process, Yao Wangui, who was then the chief of the Punishment Hall, secretly replaced one of the materials for refining the Grade 6 Seven Core Pill in the finals, Starry Sky Grass, in order to help his younger brother Yao Feng win. He also instructed Yao Feng to deliberately make the act of switching the medicinal materials, inducing Yao Chen to commit the crime of slander."

"That wasn't enough. Yao Wan returned the bribes to the scoundrels in the clan school who falsely accused Yao Chen of stealing medicinal herbs. With both charges against him, Yao Chen was successfully expelled. Afterwards, someone was arranged to hunt him down."

Chu Xiao's eyes were serious: "I hope that Miss Yao Ling can help Yao Chen clear his name and let the person who really made a mistake be severely punished according to the Yao Clan's rules."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling narrowed her eyes: "I won't argue with you about whether what Yao Chen said is true or not."

"Do you know that Elder Yao Wangui is a four-star Dou Sheng in the early stage? He is an elder of our Yao clan who is in charge of punishments and holds a high position of power."

"Do you think I would offend Elder Yao Wangui for the sake of Yao Chen?"

Yao Wangui can be considered the strongest member of the Yao Clan who can act without restraint.

Managing punishments was also a symbol of status and power.

"I think so," Chu Xiao replied decisively. "Although this is our first meeting, I believe Miss Yao Ling is a person of fairness and justice."

"As for Yao Wangui, if we compare the Yao clan to a person, then he is the poisoned part of that person now."

"If the poison isn't dealt with in time, it will kill us sooner or later."

"So even if the poisoned part is very important to the body, we have to go all out."

Chu Xiao first praised Yao Ling, and then spoke from the bottom of his heart.

An elder in charge of punishments had long ago framed his younger brother and bribed people to persecute innocent members of his clan.

Who knows how many other things he has done over the years—embezzling public funds, eliminating dissidents, and abusing his power within the medicine clan?
Yao Ling was deeply moved, which strengthened her resolve to thoroughly investigate Yao Wangui.

“You’re right.” Yao Ling rubbed her fingers together. “But we can’t be sure that what Yao Chen said is the truth.”

"I need to have someone investigate this matter first, and then I'll consider how to resolve it after I've determined the situation."

"But you can rest assured, if what you say is true, I can guarantee Yao Chen's return to the clan."

"Now tell me, what benefits will I get if I do things for you?"

"How about a Bodhi seed?" Chu Xiao offered his price.

This sincerity caught the attention of Huo Zhi and the other girls.

I have a feeling that Chu Xiao is actively trying to befriend Yao Ling.

And that was indeed the case, simply because Chu Xiao was certain that the medicinal spirit could bring him benefits.

[Binding successful. Bound to Yaoling. One synchronization opportunity has been granted, with cumulative updates after one year.]

Chu Xiao was not surprised at all. The fact that Yao Ling was here at this moment could not be explained by mere coincidence.

As for the opportunity to synchronize, he decisively chose to use it.

In the original timeline, Yao Ling appeared when entering the Demonfire Plains, where he displayed the cultivation of a beginner-level half-saint. It is said that his soul was born different from ordinary people and had already reached the late stage of the Heavenly Realm. He was also given high hopes by the Yao Clan Chief, who believed that he had enough opportunities to step into the "Emperor Realm" soul.

This is a true prodigy; he hopes to access good things in sync with others.

[Synchronized to the Bloodline of the Medicine Clan's Emperor-level (Divine Grade/Six Heavenly Veins)]

For Chu Xiao at this moment, this synchronization is better than nothing.

It's simply about allowing one's divine veins to gain more power and transform towards a stronger level.
