Why Can You Only Blow Bubbles

Evan Xiao stared at her expressionlessly. "Chloe Zhu, I'm warning you—stay away from Jun Lionhead. He's not a good person."

"Not a good person? Are you saying my mentor isn't a good person?" Chloe glared at him. "Why would you say that?"

"Just stay away from him." Evan Xiao placed Ray on the bed, then turned to leave.

"Are you jealous?" Chloe's teasing voice drifted to his ears.

Evan Xiao turned back to glance at her. "Chloe Zhu, don't think you can act so bold just because you're Ray's mother."

Chloe stepped in front of him, tilting her head up to look at him. "You're not jealous?"

"That kind of ridiculous thing would never happen to me, the Crown Prince."

This jealous prince, who wouldn't even let her touch another man's arm during a fight, was now claiming he'd never get jealous?

Chloe smiled sweetly and nodded. "I heard from Shannon that during your mother's birthday, you didn't choose a consort. Why not?"

Evan Xiao didn't answer and turned to leave.

"Was it for me?" Chloe's lazy voice drifted to his ears again.

Evan Xiao took a deep breath and, without looking back, said coldly, "Chloe Zhu, instead of daydreaming all the time, you'd be better off cultivating properly."

"You mean, I should hurry up and cultivate so I can resolve those six characters inside your body?"

Evan Xiao didn't want to talk to her anymore and walked off without another word.

Chloe glanced at Ray and asked with a smile, "Ray, did your Divine Father teach you how to cultivate?"

Ray nodded.

"What did he teach you?"

Blowing bubbles!

Ray blew another bubble—this time, two in a row.

Chloe sighed. "The Drake Clan is divine, born with godly power, unmatched strength, and superior to all other beings. So why is it that all you can do is blow bubbles?"

Ray looked at her, aggrieved. Divine Father only taught him how to blow bubbles...

......

That night, Chloe secretly met with Felix Xi.

She gave him a newly refined pill.

"This is for you." Chloe handed him a pill. "It's an auxiliary pill to help you break through to Spirit Master, Fourth Rank."

Felix Xi accepted it.

Whenever Chloe refines pills, she always makes a double batch—one for herself, one for him.

He doesn't have the Heartscale to help him, so his cultivation speed isn't as fast as hers. Still, he's already reached Spirit Master, Second Rank.

"Senior Brother, I recently discovered something."

"What is it?"

"You know Ms. Rachel Zhang, our Herb Division Chief?"

"Everyone in the Spirit Alliance knows. You're her favorite."

"But I recently found out she's actually the mother of one of my enemies! She's only nice to me to win my trust. Behind the scenes, she's been plotting to harm me!"

"Then get rid of her," Felix Xi said simply.

"I've tried to catch her outside," Chloe said. "But every time she goes home, she rides a flying beast. Her Darkflame Bird is not only powerful in battle, it's faster than both mine and Rina Chu's flying eagles. So, it's hard to make a move on the road."

After a pause, she added, "I also thought about doing something at her home, but it's a prominent mansion—too difficult. It's easier to act within the Spirit Alliance."

"So, you want my help?"

"Exactly!" Chloe grinned. "I need a favor from you."

"What kind of favor?"

Chloe took out a small white pill and explained her plan in detail.

Chloe and Felix Xi conspired together. Their first step: ambush her at night, mid-air.

She and Rina Chu disguised themselves as masked assassins, bought two flying beasts, and prepared to strike on her way home.
