You Make Me Feel Suffocated

Seven days later.

Lucia Lu was handed over to First Prince Brandon Xiao.

At first, she stuck to her original story, insisting she hadn't pushed the Celestial Emperor.

Then, First Prince Brandon made her swallow a Divine Crimson Pill.

So she changed her tune, suddenly 'confessing' that yes, she did push His Majesty the Celestial Emperor down.

Brandon looked puzzled. With her cultivation, how could she possibly push the Celestial Emperor down?

Lucia said she drugged His Majesty, so pushing him down was effortless.

Brandon asked why she'd do such a thing. Lucia replied, "Because I'm a Fiend Spirit."

Fiend Spirits exist to destroy the Spirit Realm! Kill the Celestial Emperor, and chaos will reign!

......

Everyone was stunned by her answer.

Quentin Lian and his wife looked completely bewildered.

Adrian Drake's eyes went wide.

Ryan Lu gaped for a moment, then grabbed Adrian: "Did you mess with the Divine Crimson Pill or something?"

"Mess with it? Mess with what?" Adrian stammered.

"Then what's wrong with her?"

Adrian shook his head, totally confused: "I have no idea!"

Later, when Lucia woke up, Ryan Lu yelled at her again: "Lucia Lu! Tell First Prince Brandon—did they do something to you? Why did you say all that? How could you possibly plot to harm His Majesty the Celestial Emperor?"

Lucia stared at him, her eyes growing cold and fierce. "Shut up, Ryan Lu! Out of everyone in the Lu clan, I hate you the most. You're always making a scene. If it weren't for you, would I have ended up in their hands?"

Ryan Lu was left speechless: "..."
