Her voice was gentle and crisp, falling into people's ears ever so comfortably, but in Yang Qing's ears, it sounded like a life-claiming ghost talisman.

The face of this 'Qing' girl was the spitting image of Lai Gu from those years ago.

Staring at Wulei's face, Yang Qing suddenly struck with his palm towards Wulei; his palm strike was so fierce that Wulei couldn't even defend in time.

Just as Yang Qing's palm was about to reach Wulei's chest, he turned his palm into a claw, and with a tearing sound, a stretch of snowy white skin was exposed on Wulei's chest.

Her chest was pure and flawless, just like all other teenage girls, with pink buds that were particularly striking to the eye.

"Ah."

Both Wulei and the madam were scared, Yang Qing was a regular at the Green Moon Building, generous with his money and decent in looks, a favorite patron amongst the ladies.

Who would have expected his sudden mad outburst today.

No birthmark?

There was a small red birthmark on the chest of Yang Qing's deceased wife, Lai Gu.

"Master Yang, what's gotten into you, you're going to scare our Miss Wulei to death. Today's her first day receiving guests, how could you be so impetuous right from the start?" The madam, both frantic and angry, scolded Yang Qing a few times.

"You're called Wulei? You're not her." Yang Qing had mostly sobered up from his drunkenness by now, and upon taking a closer look at this girl called Wulei, she was just sixteen or seventeen years old; that face, that figure, and especially that delicate skin, completely different from Lai Gu.

Could it really be that he was mistaken?

Yang Qing thought again, those ugly lumps all over Lai Gu's body, even the High-level Fang Venerate might not necessarily be able to cure them.

It seems Wulei is just Wulei, merely similar to Lai Gu

"Madam Song, I had a little too much to drink just now, and I wasn't careful. Miss Wulei, please forgive me. I was startled because you reminded me of an old acquaintance," Yang Qing looked at Wulei again, and the more he saw, the more he felt moved.

This Wulei, she had the looks of his late wife but also possessed the gentleness and youthful beauty that his wife lacked.

Her appearance took Yang Qing back to his twenties in an instant.

The two soon got along very well, and it wasn't until late at night that Yang Qing left the Green Moon Building.

Watching Yang Qing's carriage disappearing into the night, Wulei who had been smiling all the while he was leaving, suddenly had a smile that turned icy cold.

In the Hong Meng Heaven.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, your subordinate has successfully approached Yang Qing according to your orders."

Wulei, that is, Lai Gu in disguise, recounted the events of the night to Ye Lingyue.

"You did well." This meeting had been planned by Ye Lingyue for several months.

She had specifically hired someone to teach Lai Gu how to speak and behave, making sure to completely erase the shadow of Lai Gu from her.

Additionally, she had purposefully gifted Lai Gu with a Red Pattern Hundred Fragrance Pill containing the previously mentioned strand of Love Grass.

Relying on Lai Gu's natural beauty and the effects of the Hundred Fragrance Pill, Ye Lingyue believed it wouldn't take long for Yang Qing to fully trust her.

Hong Fang, oh Hong Fang, you probably never dreamed that the Love Grass poison you and Yao Concubine used to frame Emperor Xia, would be used by me against your own people.

"It's also thanks to the Sect Leader's careful cultivation that Lai Gu has come this far today." Lai Gu was immensely grateful to Ye Lingyue; her heart now harbored only hatred. "There's another thing I would like to report to the Sect Leader. Recently, the Spiritual Energy in the Hong Meng Heaven seems less abundant than before."

Lai Gu, in the night, was invisible at the Green Moon Building disguised as Wulei, while during the day, she was in the Hong Meng Heaven, helping Ye Lingyue plant various Poison Grasses.

After her efforts, recently in Hong Meng Heaven, a large amount of Poison Grass has been successfully cultivated, and this Poison Grass has also been secretly refined into various poisons.

However, in the past few days, Lai Gu found that both the Poison Grass and the various Spirit Grasses in Hong Meng Heaven were growing much slower, and not only that, the waters of Rainbow Creek have also become much muddier.

Has something happened to Hong Meng Heaven?

Ye Lingyue was reminded by Lai Gu and closely inspected Hong Meng Heaven.

She found that, indeed as Lai Gu said, the Spiritual Energy in Hong Meng Heaven had thinned out significantly, and the white fog that had previously spread out was even showing signs of receding.

How could this be?

Looking at the Yin Yang Carps in Rainbow Creek, a few of them had already turned belly-up.

Ye Lingyue realized that something bad was happening.

There was no corresponding record in Hong Meng Heaven.

In the end, it was only through asking Little Zhiyo that Ye Lingyue found out that this was due to her excessive use of Hong Meng Heaven, resulting in the depletion of its Spiritual Energy.

Ye Lingyue felt quite ashamed.

She had always thought that Hong Meng Heaven was inexhaustible, but she didn't realize that everything had its limits and her overuse had led her to face the biggest crisis since obtaining Hong Meng Heaven.

"You're saying that to recover Hong Meng Heaven, we must level it up as soon as possible?"

Hong Meng Heaven had already leveled up twice in Ye Lingyue's hands.

The first time was because she formed a Spirit Contract with Little Zhiyo, and another time was when Ye Lingyue had broken through to the Postnatal stage.

But after these two times, Hong Meng Heaven had not leveled up again, not even when Ye Lingyue had broken through to the Innate stage recently.

It was clear that the leveling up of Hong Meng Heaven was not absolutely related to the improvement of Ye Lingyue's Martial Arts or Spiritual Power Cultivation.

So how could she make Hong Meng Heaven level up for the third time?

Seeing her master's worried look, Little Zhiyo tilted its head in thought.

It turned around and ran into the small wooden hut of Hong Meng Fang Immortal.

After rummaging through it, Little Zhiyo came running out, holding a stone in its hands and placed it in Ye Lingyue's palm.

Ye Lingyue looked at it, the stone that Little Zhiyo had worked so hard to find was a strange stone shaped like a crystal fragment.

After probing it with her spiritual power, Ye Lingyue unexpectedly discovered that this crystal fragment had a very strong fluctuation of Spiritual Energy.

"Are you saying that by collecting a large number of these stones and then refining them with the Qian Cauldron, we can improve the situation of Hong Meng Heaven and make it level up for the third time?" Ye Lingyue asked half believing and half doubting.

According to Little Zhiyo's limited memories, it remembered that in the old days, Hong Meng Fang Immortal used the Qian Cauldron to refine Hong Meng Heaven initially with these kinds of stones.

Unfortunately, there is only this one fragment left in the small wooden hut now, and as for where the stone came from and its name, Little Zhiyo had no idea.

Ye Lingyue held the stone of unknown origin in her hand, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Since obtaining Hong Meng Heaven, its operation had always been very good.

She had not expected such changes would occur to Hong Meng Heaven.

It seemed she could only find a way to locate these mysterious stones, but for the moment, Ye Lingyue had no idea where to search for them. She thought for a while and decided to explore the Treasure Cave; perhaps Second Brother He would know the origins of these mysterious stones.
