Joy of Life: Born to Ye Qingmei, raised by Li Yunrui

Chapter 2 The Eldest Princess

A dark figure appeared silently beside her.

"Miss." Wu Zhu's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"Did you feel it?" Ye Qingmei asked with a strange smile.

"My children seem a little different."

Wu Zhu's eyes, covered by a black cloth,

It seemed to be "looking" at Ye Qingmei's abdomen.

After a moment, he nodded slightly: "One, very strong."

"Is it very strong?"

Ye Qingmei's smile deepened. "Looks like a mischievous little fellow."

She seemed to be enjoying the wonderful feeling brought by the fetal movement.

Just then, a maid's respectful voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Master, Her Highness the Eldest Princess has come to visit."

The eldest princess?

Li Yunrui?

Ye Qingmei's smile faded slightly, and a subtle, unusual glint flashed deep in her eyes.

Her relationship with the princess, who was known for her beauty and cunning, was far from harmonious.

"Let her in."

Ye Qingmei said calmly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

Soon, amidst the tinkling of jade pendants, a figure dressed in magnificent palace attire, led by a maid, gracefully entered the villa.

It was none other than the current Princess Li Yunrui.

She wore no makeup today, yet she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

But deep within those seemingly gentle and tender phoenix eyes, there always lurked a faint trace of aloofness and scrutiny.

"Little sister, it's been so long! How have you been?"

Li Yunrui's voice was as melodious as a nightingale's song, and her face carried a perfectly appropriate smile of concern.

"Your Highness, what a rare guest."

Ye Qingmei remained leaning against the wall, not getting up. Her voice carried a faint hint of amusement, but her gaze was as calm as still water.

She sized up Li Yunrui, the most dazzling yet most dangerous woman in the Qing Kingdom's royal family.

Li Yunrui slowly walked closer, but his gaze seemed fixed on Ye Qingmei.

From her slightly protruding belly to her still breathtakingly beautiful face.

That gaze was almost too intense.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

With undisguised amazement and infatuation,

There was also a subtle, almost imperceptible, element of greed.

"My sister is joking."

Li Yunrui's voice was soft, with a unique charm, like a feather gently tickling one's heart.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, and you've become even more charming than before."

She reached out, seemingly wanting to touch Ye Qingmei's cheek.

Her fingertips were pale and white, trembling slightly.

Ye Qingmei subtly tilted her head slightly.

He avoided her touch, his smile unchanged.

"You flatter me, Princess."

"I am just a woman about to give birth; I have no charm to speak of."

Li Yunrui's hand paused slightly in mid-air, then naturally withdrew and tucked into her sleeve.

She didn't care about Ye Qingmei's aloofness at all, and instead smiled even more brightly, but that smile had a hint of eeriness.

"Sister, you're being too modest."

"Among all the women in this world, who can match even a fraction of your charm?"

Her gaze lingered on Ye Qingmei's abdomen once more, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

It was as if one wanted to pierce through that layer of clothing and see the life within.

"These two little ones here must be just like their younger sister, exceptionally talented and extraordinary."

"They will surely inherit all your brilliance."

The tone was less one of praise and more one of near-obsessive conviction.

Ye Qingmei keenly caught the unusual fervor in her words.

She smiled faintly and said, "As long as the child is healthy and safe, that's all that matters."

"As for whether it's radiant or not, I don't really care."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunrui gently shook her head, her lips curving into a beautiful yet slightly mad smile.

"No, sister, you do care."

"You always want to change something, to leave something behind."

Her voice was lowered, carrying a hint of seduction.

"Just like your arrival in this world, you yourself are the most dazzling light, making everything else pale in comparison."

"Including me."

She spoke the last three words very softly, yet they carried an inexplicable weight.

Ye Qingmei raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

Li Yunrui's almost pathological worship and self-disclosure made her wary.

This woman has a mind as deep as the sea and acts eccentrically and madly; she is definitely not a kind person.

"Did the Princess come here today just to speak to me with these esoteric and mysterious words?"

Ye Qingmei asked calmly, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

Li Yunrui stared at her intently, his eyes flashing with a complex light—infatuation, jealousy, and even a hint of resentment.

"I just wanted to see my sister."

She said softly, her tone carrying a hint of grievance and a touch of stubbornness.

"Look at you, look at the child in your belly."

"I want to know what kind of miracle could make you willingly wash your hands and cook, and bring life into the world."

Her gaze turned fiery again, as if she wanted to devour Ye Qingmei whole.

"Little sister, do you know?"

Sometimes, I really want to hide you away.

"Hide in a place where only I can see it."

"In this way, your radiance will belong to me alone."

These words were bold and explicit, carrying a chilling possessiveness.

The air in Taiping Villa seemed to freeze a little after she said those words.

Even Wu Zhu, who was not far away and whose posture had remained unchanged for thousands of years, seemed to twitch slightly.

Ye Qingmei sighed inwardly.

madman.

This Li Yunrui is indeed a complete madman.

But her face still maintained that composure and calmness.

"Your Highness is joking."

"I don't like being hidden away."

Her voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

"I love freedom and I love this bright and clear world."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunrui's eyes dimmed for a moment.

Then it ignited with an even more frenzied brilliance.

"Yes, you always are."

"Always so dazzling."

It's something you can't ignore, yet you can't truly possess.

She murmured softly, as if she were talking to Ye Qingmei, or perhaps to herself.

His expression was one of rapture, yet tinged with a morbid despair.

Ye Qingmei knew that there was no point in talking to a woman like that.

Her way of thinking was already different from that of ordinary people.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess."

"I'm a little tired and need to rest."

Ye Qingmei directly ordered them to leave.

Li Yunrui gave her a deep look, his gaze complex and unfathomable.

Finally, she smiled sweetly, but that smile carried a hint of a crack.

"Alright, then my little sister should rest well."

"I will come to see you again."

After she finished speaking,

Reluctantly turning away,

Her alluring steps and swaying movements

She left Taiping Villa with a captivating charm.

Only after her figure completely disappeared did Ye Qingmei breathe a sigh of relief.

"Five Bamboos"

"Um."

"Do you think this woman has something wrong with her head?"

Ye Qingmei rubbed her temples.

There was a sense of helplessness.

After a moment of silence, Wu Zhu offered a fair assessment: "Abnormal."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingmei couldn't help but chuckle.

But beneath the smile lay a hint of seriousness.

Li Yunrui's appearance added to her unease.

·············

Just as Ye Qingmei and Li Yunrui were engaged in that undercurrent of confrontation.

Although Ye Tian, ​​still in his mother's womb, couldn't witness it firsthand, he relied on his extraordinary perception...

I vaguely caught some conversations and emotional fluctuations from the outside world.

Li Yunrui's undisguised, almost obsessive, infatuation and possessiveness

Even through his belly, little Ye Tian felt a strange chill.

"My goodness, this princess is truly a madwoman of beauty!"

Ye Tian sighed inwardly.

He was deeply impressed by the character Li Yunrui when he watched the drama in his previous life.

Beautiful, intelligent, yet also insane, obsessive, and ruthless in achieving her goals.

Unexpectedly, she was even more remarkable in real life than she appeared on screen.

That almost pathological worship and adoration for Ye Qingmei,

Ye Tian even began to wonder if this woman had some kind of sexual orientation problem.

"She wouldn't like women, would she???"

"Tsk tsk, Mother's charm is truly irresistible to both men and women."

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

However, he quickly put away his gossipy thoughts.

The appearance of Li Yunrui is undoubtedly a dangerous sign.

This woman is absolutely an indispensable part of the future conspiracy against Ye Qingmei.

She herself could even be a huge threat.

"It seems I need to hurry up and become stronger."

A strong sense of urgency rose in Ye Tian's heart.

He not only had to deal with the direct killing intent from Emperor Qing and the Empress, but also had to guard against a madman like Li Yunrui lurking in the shadows.

The pressure is immense!

However, pressure can also be a driving force.

Ye Tian took a deep breath, temporarily putting aside the disturbances of the outside world.

The most urgent task is to improve our own capabilities.

"System, may I check in now?"

Ye Tian called upon the system in his mind.

Since we have this amazing sign-in system, we can't let it go to waste.

[Ding! Host's current location: Inside Ye Qingmei's abdomen (special location).]

[Meeting the check-in requirements, wish to check in now?]

The system notification tone sounded immediately.

"really!"

Ye Tian was overjoyed.

This system is really powerful; you can even sign in in the womb!

I wonder what good things you can get by signing in while you're still in your mother's womb.

"Check in now!"

Ye Tian made his choice without hesitation.

[Ding! Successfully checked in at the special location "Inside Ye Qingmei's Stomach"!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received the reward: Chaos Divine Grinding Visualization Method (a method for cultivating the divine soul)!]

Chaos God Grinding Visualization Technique!

Another powerful-sounding martial art!

Moreover, it's a method specifically for cultivating the soul!

Ye Tian was overjoyed.

Although he now possesses extraordinary comprehension and an innate sacred body, physical cultivation is no longer a problem for him.

However, in terms of spirituality, it is relatively weak.

After all, he was just a soul that had transmigrated from another world. Although his strength was extraordinary, it was still limited.

And this Chaos Divine Millstone Visualization Method undoubtedly filled the last gap in his knowledge!

A powerful spirit not only makes his thinking more agile and his comprehension higher, but also plays an unexpected role when facing enemies.

In fact, in certain crucial moments in the future, a powerful divine soul might even become his trump card for survival!

"Perfect timing!"

Ye Tian was extremely excited.

He immediately began to study this newly acquired method of visualization.

With his extraordinary comprehension, the profound and mysterious method quickly became clear in his mind.

In his mind's eye, it seemed as if a vast, boundless millstone had appeared.

The stone mill turned slowly, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.

Each rotation seems capable of obliterating everything and shattering the void!

Following the guidance of the method, Ye Tian gradually integrated his divine soul power into the illusory image of the Chaos Divine Millstone.

Initially, it felt like being pricked with needles.

But soon, an indescribable feeling of comfort came from the depths of my soul.

And his soul, under the crushing and tempering of the Chaos Divine Mill,

It is becoming more refined, purer, and more powerful at an astonishing pace!

While he was cultivating the Chaos Divine Millstone Visualization Method.

The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force continued to operate without any pause.

The innate sacred body and Dao embryo are like an insatiable gluttonous beast, frantically devouring the innate essence from the mother's body.
