"Isn't that Flower Butterfly Immortal?"
Perhaps having spotted Flower Butterfly Immortal's figure, Liu Shuangyan, Lord Qianxing, and the others walked over.
"Flower Butterfly Immortal, it's been a long time since I've seen you at the Tower of Stolen Gold. Hmm... Let me think carefully, it should have been several years, right?"
Liu Shuangyan looked at Flower Butterfly Immortal and said, "I heard that ever since you were eliminated at the third layer of the Tower of Stolen Gold last time, you've never set foot in it again. Is that true?"
Flower Butterfly Immortal responded indifferently, "Whether I go up the Tower of Stolen Gold or not seems to have nothing to do with you."
"How can it have nothing to do with me? It matters a great deal! Without you going up the tower with me, wouldn't I be very lonely?"
Beside them, Mu Lingyao stepped forward and said, "Liu Shuangyan, what are you so proud of? It's just that you managed to break into the thirteenth layer of the Tower of Stolen Gold. What's there to be so smug about?"
"I was wondering who had such a big mouth. So it's Young Lady Mu."
Liu Shuangyan then looked at Mu Lingyao and sneered, "'Just' breaking into the thirteenth layer? Hah, dare I ask, what is the highest layer Young Lady Mu has ever broken into? If I remember correctly, it should only be the ninth layer, right?"
"This young lady indeed only broke into the ninth layer, but I'm not like you, bragging everywhere. You even come to show off in front of Sister Flower Butterfly. Sister Flower Butterfly's highest record is the nineteenth layer. Do you have the right to show off in front of her?"
"That's exactly why I'm so curious. Why was Flower Butterfly Immortal, who once broke into the nineteenth layer, eliminated at the third layer of the Tower of Stolen Gold? Ah, it's truly incomprehensible. The famous Flower Butterfly Immortal was actually eliminated at the third layer. Why on earth was that?"
Flower Butterfly Immortal was not affected by Liu Shuangyan's sarcastic words and said calmly, "There's no particular reason. My skills were inferior, so being eliminated at the third layer is perfectly normal."
"Flower Butterfly Immortal, you're being too modest. How could your skills be inferior? It must have just been a momentary lapse of attention."
Liu Shuangyan, heavily made-up and looking quite alluring, gazed at Flower Butterfly Immortal and smiled, "Since you've come this time, I suppose Flower Butterfly Immortal will definitely challenge the Tower of Stolen Gold again, right? We've all been wanting to see Flower Butterfly Immortal break into the nineteenth layer once more. Many people say that ever since you were eliminated at the third layer last time, you haven't dared to continue challenging the tower. That couldn't possibly be true, could it?"
"It's just the Tower of Stolen Gold. What's there to dare or not dare?"
"So that means Flower Butterfly Immortal will definitely challenge the tower this time?"
"Of course."
"Haha, I knew Flower Butterfly Immortal wouldn't disappoint us. I'm also looking forward to seeing you break into the nineteenth layer of the Tower of Stolen Gold again. Just don't get eliminated at the third layer like last time. If that happens, we'd all be very disappointed."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you."
Hearing that Flower Butterfly Immortal was preparing to challenge the Tower of Stolen Gold again, Mu Lingyao beside her felt very worried inside. She could see that Liu Shuangyan was deliberately provoking Flower Butterfly Immortal, aiming to laugh at her after she got eliminated again.
Although Mu Lingyao had confidence in Flower Butterfly Immortal, luck played too big a part in challenging the Tower of Stolen Gold. If luck was bad and she got eliminated at the third layer again—or even if not at the third, but at the fourth, fifth, or even the ninth layer—as long as she didn't surpass her previous highest record, Liu Shuangyan would likely seize the opportunity to mock and make a big deal out of it. By then, Flower Butterfly Immortal's face would be completely lost.
Just as Mu Lingyao was about to speak up and persuade Flower Butterfly Immortal not to fall for the trick, Liu Shuangyan suddenly shouted loudly.
"Everyone, listen up! Flower Butterfly Immortal says she will challenge the Tower of Stolen Gold again today, and... she is very confident about breaking her previous record, preparing to break into the twentieth layer of the Tower of Stolen Gold. Everyone, wait and see!"
Hearing this, Mu Lingyao immediately grew anxious and shouted, "Liu Shuangyan, you're too despicable! When did Sister Flower Butterfly ever say she would break her previous record?"
Liu Shuangyan smiled smugly, "She didn't say it? Ah, maybe I misheard. I've always had great confidence in Flower Butterfly Immortal and believed she would definitely break her previous record. Now that I think about it, perhaps I was overthinking it. Could it be that Flower Butterfly Immortal doesn't even have the confidence to break her own record?"
Upon hearing this.
Mu Lingyao immediately realized she had been tricked, used by Liu Shuangyan. Furious, she pointed at Liu Shuangyan and cursed angrily, "You despicable bitch! Didn't learn your lesson last time when I didn't beat you to death, did you?"
"Mu Lingyao! Who are you cursing?"
"I'm cursing you! What are you going to do about it?"
It had to be said that Mu Lingyao truly lived up to her title of Little Demoness. Her personality was downright fierce, and when her temper flared, she was even more formidable than a man. Pointing at Liu Shuangyan, she shouted, "Don't glare at me, grandma! If you're not convinced, let's fight. Whoever gets beaten to death deserves it. Do you dare?"
Liu Shuangyan truly didn't dare to fight Mu Lingyao. Although she was also an eighteen-level Great Perfection Star Gold Immortal, Mu Lingyao's Innate Creation Purple Flame True Fire made her particularly wary.
"Young Lady Mu, I hope you will watch your words in the future."
Lord Qianxing stepped forward and said, "Now, Shuangyan is my Dao companion in immortal fate."
"So what if she's your Dao companion?"
"If Young Lady Mu wishes to spar, after we finish challenging the Tower of Stolen Gold, I will spar with you. I've heard that Young Lady Mu's Innate Creation Purple Flame True Fire is incredibly powerful. I've long wanted to experience it for myself."
"Fight then! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Although Lord Qianxing was a cultivator of over twenty Heavenly Levels, Mu Lingyao was not afraid. Not only was she unafraid, she was utterly fearless. Pointing at Lord Qianxing and Liu Shuangyan, she said, "Since you're Dao companions in immortal fate, then come at me together. Grandma will take on both of you, you despicable couple, single-handedly today!"
"Mu Lingyao!"
Lord Qianxing was instantly enraged, shouting word by word, "Don't push people too far!"
"I will push people too far, so what?"
Mu Lingyao shouted, "Who in the entire Dual-Pole Celestial Domain doesn't know that grandma has always been arrogant and domineering!"
If it were anyone else, whether it was Lord Qianxing or Liu Shuangyan, they would have likely already taken action and crushed the other party underfoot.
But facing Mu Lingyao, neither of them dared.
Although Lord Qianxing and Liu Shuangyan came from a prominent family and an Immortal family respectively, compared to the Mu family—one of the council families governing the Fengyue Small World—Lord Qianxing's prominent family wasn't so prominent, and Liu Shuangyan's Immortal family wasn't so immortal.
"Yao'er, pay them no mind."
Flower Butterfly Immortal looked at the furious Mu Lingyao and pulled her back.
"Sister Flower Butterfly, you're too good-tempered. That's why a bitch like Liu Shuangyan dares to push her luck. Next time she dares to act shamelessly with you, just smash her mouth in. Let's see if she dares to act shamelessly again!"
Flower Butterfly Immortal was famously good-tempered and rarely fought with others—almost never.
