The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 398 Is this blind date infuriating?

Tao Akun sat alone in the secret room, trying to undo the talisman on the jade flute.

He gripped the jade flute tightly in both hands, his brows furrowed, his eyes focused and determined.

However, no matter how he tried, using all sorts of spells and secret techniques, the talisman remained unmoved, as if mocking his powerlessness.

Gradually, Tao Akun's emotions became increasingly agitated, and he roared:

"I've cultivated diligently for decades, yet I still can't break this spell! Heavens, can you spare my life?!"

His voice echoed in the secret room, filled with anger and resentment.

With each failure, Tao Akun was on the verge of collapse.

He slammed the jade flute onto the table, even wanting to break it to vent his dissatisfaction.

Just then, Zhu Wen walked in and, seeing Tao Akun in such a state of disarray, quickly comforted him:

"Don't be angry, wise one. Why don't we invite Princess Yelü Zhigu of the Khitan to come? She is currently traveling in the Central Plains."

Moreover, as the high priestess, she is extremely knowledgeable about incantations and the like, and might be able to solve this problem.

Tao Akun listened to Zhu Wen's words and, though still somewhat hesitant, finally nodded in agreement.

Therefore, Zhu Wen immediately sent someone to invite Yelü Zhigu.

Not long after, Yelü Zhigu arrived with Shulü Mingyao and Shulü Minglie.

Also present was Yelü Bei, the eldest son of Yelü Abaoji.

As soon as Yelü Zhigu entered the secret room, she took the jade flute and examined it carefully.

A glint of wisdom shone in her eyes, as if she had already grasped some crucial points.

Zhu Wen, Tao Akun, Yelü Bei, and the siblings Shulü Minglie were all waiting in the outer room.

They were filled with both anticipation and trepidation as they awaited their answers.

After several days and nights of dedicated research, Yelü Zhigu still failed to unlock the combination lock on the jade flute.

She stepped out of the secret chamber, frowned, gently set down the jade flute, and said to Tao Akun:

"This is not an ordinary talisman, but a more complex and magical technique."

Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and confusion.

"This technique is extremely rare; I have never seen it before, nor have I ever heard of it."

After hearing this, Tao Akun sighed deeply, his face full of frustration and resentment.

"I have honed my skills over the past few decades, but I have no way to use them on this small jade flute."

He clenched his fists angrily and said through gritted teeth,

"Where did Qiu Ziyue learn all this nonsense? This is outrageous!"

His eyes were filled with anger and confusion, as if he wanted to find Qiu Ziyue immediately and ask her for an explanation.

A suffocating atmosphere permeated the entire secret room, and everyone could feel Tao Akun's anger and helplessness.

Yelü Zhigu looked at Tao Akun, trying to comfort him:

"Senior Tao, Qiu Ziyue caused us a lot of trouble before."

She doesn't play by the rules, so don't be angry. There's always a way to solve this.

But Tao Akun just shook his head, feeling utterly defeated.

At this point, Yelü Bei, who was standing to the side, suddenly became interested.

From a young age, he loved to study the culture of the Central Plains. He was intelligent and eager to learn, reading extensively in Chinese classics, and especially admired Confucianism.

He frowned slightly and asked curiously:

"Who is this Qiu Ziyue?"

Upon hearing this question, Tao Akun was instantly enraged and said through gritted teeth:

"She's just a brat who doesn't know her place! She's mischievous and always trying to play tricks, she's driving me crazy!"

Yelü Zhigu calmly analyzed:

"Three parts evil, seven parts righteousness, this kind of person is indeed formidable."

A hint of appreciation flickered in her eyes, as if she highly recognized Qiu Ziyue's abilities.

Shulu Mingyao scoffed disdainfully and sneered:

"What's so great about her? She's just a shameless woman! Like a vixen, she's hogging two incredibly handsome men, she's utterly shameless!"

However, Shulu Minglie shook his head and advised:

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. I think that girl is indeed remarkable. Don't underestimate her."

Zhu Wen pondered for a moment and then said:

"This Qiu Ziyue is my biggest obstacle now. If I can get rid of her..."

Li Cunxu might not be a match for me. Therefore, we must join forces to deal with her!

Upon hearing this, Yelü Bei's eyes flashed with interest, and he slowly said:

"Now that you've heard what I've said, I really want to meet this Qiu Ziyue and see what kind of person she is that makes you all care so much."

At this time, Yelü Bei was just over twenty years old. He had a handsome face, delicate features, and a pair of deep eyes that revealed wisdom and composure.

At this moment, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, a smile as gentle as the warm spring sun, yet carrying a reassuring power.

His nose was high and straight with well-defined features, yet he didn't appear cold or aloof at all; instead, he made people feel close to him.

His thick, black hair was neatly tied up, with a few strands fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of casualness to his appearance.

His brocade robe, while highlighting his noble status as a Khitan prince, also accentuated his tall and slender figure.

Both in temperament and appearance, Yelü Bei gave people a feeling of both refinement and majesty.

He seemed to be a born king, or a well-read scholar.

Hearing Yelü Zhigu and the others' evaluation of Qiu Ziyue.

He seemed to have already sketched out a rough outline of Qiu Ziyue's image in his mind.

“Brother, you must not be bewitched by that vixen. She already has two husbands,” Shulu Mingyao said.

Upon hearing this, Yelü Bei laughed and said, "It's strange what kind of woman could make two unparalleled handsome men stay by her side."

Tao Akun said:

"You've all come today to remove the Jade Flute Spell, so why all this nonsense?"

Are you here for a blind date, or to annoy someone?

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two sides was not very harmonious, Zhu Wen quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, let's leave it at that for today. Let's think of another way to resolve this."

In a secluded inn, Qiu Ziyue and others are recuperating and receiving treatment.

Li Cunxu said to Qiu Ziyue with great concern:

"If the jade flute is lost and Tao Akun gets his hands on it, disaster will surely befall us."

Qiu Ziyue smiled nonchalantly and said:

"It's alright, I used a high-tech combination lock from our country, no matter how they try to crack it, they can't."

Li Cunxu asked curiously:

"What kind of combination lock is that? It's so sophisticated!"

Qi Yuxuan said:

"I'm not telling you, you wouldn't know anyway."

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu said with slight dissatisfaction:

"You, Qi Yuxuan, just because you're the first wife, you always bully me. But Ziyue is biased towards me. I'll make you furious."

Qi Yuxuan retorted, "How did Ziyue show favoritism towards you?"

Li Cunxu answered triumphantly:

"Twilight Sparkle gave me a gun, but you don't."

The two grown men started arguing, but Qiu Ziyue ignored them completely.

Qi Yuxuan retorted, not to be outdone:

"So what? Twilight Sparkle said she'd give me ten guns."

Li Cunxu snorted and said, "But you don't have any."

Qi Yuxuan sneered:

"Where is the favoritism shown to you? I already have a child with her, while you and she haven't even consummated your marriage yet."

Li Cunxu was immediately enraged by these words, his face flushed red, and he shouted:

"Qi Yuxuan, are you deliberately trying to provoke me? If you're so capable, go outside and fight!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
