"Why would I steal it?"
Facing the mature beauty in the blue dress's accusation, Luo Yu hovered in midair, his eyebrows raised.
"Miss, despite your beauty, please mind your language," he said.
"Do not unjustly accuse a good person."
The mature beauty in the blue dress furrowed her brows, "If that's not stealing, then what is it?"
Luo Yu straightened two fingers, continuing earnestly,
"First, how can the actions of an honest man be called stealing? It's called taking something openly and honorably."
"I was merely out for a casual stroll when I happened upon a cave by chance and saw a patch of Blue Silver Grass struggling to survive in a harsh environment, so I kindly decided to transplant it to a better place."
"Does that count as stealing?"
"This is an act of love for plants and flowers."
The mature beauty in the blue dress slightly parted her lips, finding herself speechless for a moment.
She cursed inwardly.
I don't believe you at all.
How could a cave hidden behind a waterfall be found just by chance?
However, she still couldn't understand why this man would want to steal her sister.
Luo Yu went on, "Second, I'm picking my own grass. What's that got to do with you?"
"Is there a need for such dogged pursuit?"
"Those in the know might think you are chasing after your sister, but those who don't might think you're trying to rob me of my beauty!"
At these words, the mature beauty in the blue dress was instantly furious, her beautiful eyes widened fiercely.
Her breathing quickened, and her ample bosom heaved up and down.
"What you stole is my sister!"
"Tell me that has nothing to do with me."
Luo Yu's hovering figure stumbled in midair, his eyes revealing utter astonishment.
What situation is this?
Wasn't the one I took away Ah Yin?
I've never heard about Ah Yin having a sister before.
Isn't the Bluesilver Emperor always a solitary plant? When did it get a sister?
Shocked, Luo Yu said, "You're saying I stole your sister?"
The mature beauty in the blue dress felt awkward upon hearing this,
She suspected that this man was insulting her, but she had no proof.
After Luo Yu spoke, he realized something was amiss and corrected himself, "Are you saying the one I took is your sister?"
"That's right," the mature beauty in the blue dress confirmed.
Luo Yu cast a doubtful look at the mature beauty standing on the ground below him.
One couldn't deny, the woman was truly beautiful.
Her features were exquisitely flawless, her skin was whiter than snow, even displaying a faint rosy tint, and her slender waist was so delicate it seemed it could be encircled with one hand. Her legs, accentuated by high heels, were proudly long and lean.
Complemented by the wisp of blue-golden color in her long dress, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
In terms of aura, she was even no less than Bi Bidong.
But while Bi Bidong had the cold aloofness of a forbidding Empress,
This woman exuded the elegant, alluring sophistication of a stunning beauty.
Luo Yu said, "How can you prove you're her sister?"
"Hss—"
The mature beauty in the blue dress took in a sharp breath, her eyes trembling with anger.
"I say she's my sister, and that should be enough."
"What more proof do you need?"
Luo Yu spread his hands, "If you don't prove it, how could I possibly know whether or not you are her sister?"
The mature beauty paused, her gaze faltering and falling into silence.
The man's bewildering questioning completely befuddled her.
Luo Yu responded, "As far as I know, Ah Yin shouldn't have a sister."
"Where did you pop out from?"
"What do you know?" The mature beauty in the blue dress replied coldly, "She is not Ah Yin, I am."
"???"
"You're Ah Yin?"
Luo Yu was instantly shocked, a look of utter confusion spreading across his face.
Her words plunged him into inner turmoil.
What's going on? Was the Blue Silver Grass I stole not Ah Yin?
But that can't be right—when he was invisible, he clearly saw the urgency of Tang Hao and his son Tang San.
Tang Hao's words to Tang San, "Your mother has been stolen," are still fresh in his mind—it wasn't an act.
And wasn't Ah Yin sacrificed before?
The woman before him had a strong and solid aura, nowhere near a look of someone who had been sacrificed.
Could she be deceiving me?
But what would her reason for deceiving me be?
Luo Yu's mind raced, yet he was no closer to a solution, the confusion only deepening.
He exerted his full power to activate the Creation God Pupil, his eyes piercing the void as they shone upon the woman in the blue dress.
The mature beauty, thinking this man was making a move on her,
Immediately set up a living, blue-golden light shield.
The light shield was strong but couldn't block Luo Yu's penetrating divine light.
As he saw through the woman's true form, Luo Yu's bewilderment reached new extremes.
Because her true body was indeed a Blue Silver Grass.
```
And it wasn't just any Blue Silver Grass; it was silver-patterned with blue leaves, radiating a truly noble and elegant imperial aura.
"This..."
Luo Yu scratched his head, completely mystified.
Ah Yin wasn't supposed to have been sacrificed, she couldn't possibly be standing right in front of him.
And if this woman was Ah Yin, then who was the Blue Silver Grass he had dug out?
A flash of light before him, and a small earthen mound hovered in the air.
On it, a stalk of Gold-patterned Blue Silver Grass swayed with the wind, emitting a distinct aura.
It was brimming with a different kind of spiritual essence.
Luo Yu could feel a hint of True Spirit nurturing within it.
Damn it, two Bluesilver Emperors?
Impossible! Isn't the Bluesilver Emperor like the Nine-heart Asiatic Apple, only one can exist at a time?
Luo Yu racked his brains but couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.
He remembered that this wasn't how the original script went.
What exactly had changed was beyond his knowledge.
"Sister!"
The beautiful woman in the blue dress's eyes lit up at the sight of the man taking out the Blue Silver Grass.
Her jade feet in high heels touched the ground, and she floated up.
She reached out her hands to struggle for possession.
Startled, Luo Yu summoned his Soul Power to grasp the Blue Silver Grass rooted in the small mound.
Behind him, the Wind God Dragon Wings vibrated powerfully.
A sudden gust of wind rose, and he quickly flashed to the side like lightning.
"Thief, return my sister to me!"
Biting her silver teeth, the woman in the blue dress closely followed in pursuit to snatch her back.
While dodging, Luo Yu focused his attention on the system navigation panel.
On the map.
A black dot represented him.
A golden dot represented Qian Renxue.
At the moment, Qian Renxue stood still, not doing anything unknown, but that was not Luo Yu's main concern right now.
He discovered a shocking fact.
The blue dot representing Ah Yin was not merging with his own, but instead maintaining a distance, chasing her from behind.
He now kept the dug-up Blue Silver Grass on him.
If it was Ah Yin, then the display on the map should show the black and blue dots merging.
Luo Yu looked towards the mature beauty in the blue dress who was relentlessly chasing after him.
His heart skipped a beat.
The result of his godly vision with Creation God Pupil, confirmed by the system map,
all indicated that this woman in the blue dress was the real Ah Yin.
Then who was the Blue Silver Grass he had dug up???
Could it really be that Tang Hao mistook his wife, and Tang San his mother?
Even if those two were blind, they couldn't be that blind, Luo Yu felt it was unlikely they had mistaken her identity.
What in the world was going on?
Luo Yu's heart felt as if it was being scratched by a cat.
He felt that if he didn't clear up these doubts today, he wouldn't be able to sleep when he got back.
He stopped in his tracks and pushed his hands out, trying to stop the woman in the blue dress from pursuing him.
"Hold on!"
"Stop a moment!!!"
"Let's talk this out; I have something I need to ask."
The woman in the blue dress glared furiously, her red lips clicking in anger.
"What's there to talk about?"
"You vile human, you clearly harbor ill intentions towards my sister."
"Don't even think about pulling any tricks today. If you don't hand over my sister, I will fight you to the death."
"Boom!"
She gracefully raised her jade hand, and countless blue-golden light spots scattered into the air.
The light spots exploded.
Strands of blue-golden vines stretched across the void from all directions, surrounding Luo Yu.
They cut off all his escape routes, creating a Bluesilver Cage that obscured the sky.
"Good grief, ferocious beast level strength."
"By rights, Ah Yin's cultivation level should be at most just over a hundred thousand years; how could she suddenly become as ferocious as a ferocious beast!"
Luo Yu identified the power of the woman's move in an instant.
Without having resolved the doubts, he was not going to engage in pointless fighting.
He directly opted for the most straightforward and brutal method of dealing with a soul beast.
"Roar!"
The heavens reverberated with a dragon's roar, and Nine-colored Divine Light burst forth.
Without hesitation, Luo Yu summoned his Dragon God Martial Soul.
Dragon shadows soared, and oppressive might filled the entire arena...
