The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 54: Violet Origin Flame

While Ye Ming closed his eyes to recall the technique name, Ye Qing Lei remained patient.

She was going to explain it to refresh his memory, but seeing him trying his best. She decided against it and allowed him to ponder over it.

And it was at this moment that she sensed someone entering the office.

In response, Ye Qing Lei paused the time and space to ensure Ye Ming wouldn’t have to waste any precious time while pondering.

Once that was done, she phased out of the environment and returned to the real version.

As soon as Ye Qing Lei appeared from out of nowhere, it startled Qing Lan, who was carrying a tray covered in a dome.

"Ahhh!" Qing Lan shrieked and nearly lost her balance.

Thankfully, Ye Qing Lei noticed it and quickly maintained her balance with qi. Her eyes then drifted to the tray that Qing Lan was carrying.

With just a small sniff, Ye Qing Lei was able to deduce the food.

"Phoenix meat huh. You sure know how to earn yourself merit." She softly commented.

Despite the softness in her tone, Qing Lan could sense some hostility contained in it.

"I’m sorry, Madam." She quickly bowed her head and apologized.

"Why apologize?" Ye Qing Lei raised an eyebrow. She then snapped her finger and brought the tray toward her.

She opened the dome and was instantly hit with the phoenix meat fragrance.

"You really know how to get into my son’s favor. With his current state, if he consumed this kind of meat, his vitality would increase. But it would also overfill and to release the excess, he would need to seek a partner. What a perfect accidental aphrodisiac."

Thud!

Instantly, Qing Lan went to her knees and defended her action.

"Madam, the phoenix meat is extracted from that kind of substance. Qing Lan dared not poison the Young Master with aphrodisiac."

"Did you think I wouldn’t know?" Ye Qing Lei suddenly said.

"N-N-No..." Speechless, Qing Lan naturally refused to believe she wouldn’t know when she was the number 1 alchemist. Not to mention, she would have definitely made a move on her already if she hadn’t extracted the substance.

However, what Qing Lan failed to notice was that her mistake was precisely because she extracted the substance.

"You had a perfect chance for an accidental aphrodisiac but you didn’t do it. Are you that foolish or do you not like my son?" Ye Qing Lei raised the question.

By now, it was clear that she was seriously displeased that Qing Lan didn’t try to take advantage of the situation and climb to her son’s bed.

Like how could she not attempt such a ploy?

"Ehh..." Stunned and stupefied, Qing Lan didn’t know how or what to say in response.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing Lei gazed at her with a look of disappointment.

"A woman should be assertive and be willing to do whatever they can to seduce the man they like. So long as it doesn’t hurt the man, you should have done whatever it takes." She scolded Qing Lan harshly.

And she continued, "If it were any women that were granted such an opportunity, then they would have done everything in their power to ensnare the man. You really disappointed me, Qing Lan."

"..."

Nobody would have anticipated that not only was Ye Qing Lei unbothered by shrewd tactics used by women to gain their beloved’s love, but she was also actively encouraging them to do whatever it took.

"But isn’t that unethical and immoral?" Qing Lan flashed a bittersweet smile.

"Unethical and immoral? Do you know how many scumbag men are out in this world using the pretext of an illness that they must make love to heal them?" Ye Qing Lei rolled her eyes.

"It’s fine to do those as long as one got the ability and the face. If they were ugly though, did you think the women would let them proceed with it?"

"I don’t think so," Qing Lan shook her head and shivered at the sight of an ugly man attempting such a tactic. If she was in that kind of position, then she would have rather die than let the ugly man do her.

"See, the same logic could be applied to women. Why wouldn’t you want to drug my handsome son and get him to make love with you?" Ye Qing Lei spread her arms wide, behaving no different than the Dao itself who was imparting divine knowledge.

Just when she was about to continue, a voice suddenly echoed through.

"Mother, I can’t believe you were a crook." Ye Ming said in utter disbelief.

"Eh, son, how did you break out?" Startled, Ye Qing Lei didn’t know how she was caught off-guard. She had the whole area covered, so it should have been impossible for anyone to sneak behind her.

However, her confusion was soon answered when she noticed Ye Ming was shrouded with the mini version of Violet Origin Flame.

’Curses, it was the flame aura.’ She never anticipated to have made such an amateur mistake. Since the mini version held the presence of her actual Violet Origin Flame. It had slipped through her mind, prompting her to not connect the flame with Ye Ming.

The atmosphere turned quite awkward, and Qing Lan felt like she shouldn’t have returned so quickly.

As much as she wanted to follow through with what Ye Qing Lei stated, she didn’t dare to use such crook methods.

No, it wasn’t even about the dare part!

It was the fact that she knew her status was not good enough. Moreover, she was afraid that her action might incur Ye Ming’s disgust or wrath.

To summarize, it was just a risk not worth taking in her book.

"Ahem, can we just pretend we didn’t have that conversation and you didn’t overhear anything?" Ye Qing Lei cleared her throat and suggested.

"Sure, if you allow me to venture to the Lower World and experience something personally." Ye Ming readily agreed and offered his condition.
