After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 47 Purple Thunder God Whip

"Alright, let's not dwell on those old stories. Let's eat crayfish. Let me tell you, crayfish tastes best when paired with wine and cucumber salad. It's a pity that Manxianglou doesn't sell wine." After taking a bite of crayfish, Ali couldn't help but sigh.

If you miss it, you miss it.

The past belongs to the past. She doesn't want to live in the past forever.

The best way to live is to work hard when it's time to be serious and play hard when it's time to play. There's no need to think about changing the world or living like someone else; she is who she is. Before, she was powerless in this dazzling world, but now she just wants to live for herself.

"Mu Li, go." Yu Yang called softly.

A short while later, Mu Li arrived with fine wine and two plates of cucumber salad.

As soon as it was opened, a rich aroma of wine wafted out, stimulating Ali's pores and making her feel so comfortable that she couldn't help but want to scream. She quickly asked, "Wow, it smells so good! This wine must be expensive, right?"

Mu Li naturally replied, "Then of course it is..." the century-old wine from the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.

Yu Yang interrupted him, cheerfully saying to Ali, "Of course, it's wine that our Miss Xia can afford. Come on, drink." He poured Ali a glass.

Ali: "I don't like the surname Xia. Just call me Ali from now on." There's no need to keep reminding her of someone who's already dead by using that surname.

"..."

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Ali smacked her lips and said, "This is so satisfying! It would be even more perfect if we could have a candied hawthorn skewer."

"Mu Li," Yu Yang calmly instructed.

"Yes!" Mu Li returned shortly after leaving, holding a string of candied hawthorns. He handed it to Ali: "Miss Xia."

"Oh?... Thank you."

She casually remarked, "Yu Yang is so well-behaved, isn't he?" But, something about Yu Yang today is acting strange. Why is he keeping smiling at me? It's creepy. Could he be up to something?

Could it be that he's discovered I'm a time traveler? Have I given myself away? Oh my god! Why does his gaze seem so malevolent? Is he going to capture me for experiments?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Ali quickly finished the rice in her bowl, hurriedly left a "Goodbye," and fled.

Yu Yang watched Ali's figure disappear into the distance, his body still, feeling a mixture of joy and sadness.

Finally... we found her.

But the boss always kept people at arm's length.

Seeing his master's distraught state, Mu Li asked, "Master, perhaps I should..."

As someone who listens to Yu Yang talk about his first love a thousand times a day, Mu Li already knows about the things between her master and her boss.

So when Yu Yang's attitude towards A Li changed drastically, Mu Li already realized that this was the "boss".

"It's alright, you can go back now." Yu Yang waved his hand and followed Ali at a distance.

The name Mu Li was given to him when he found Mu Li; Mu Li, meaning "beautiful and pure." His feelings had always been clear, but she…

Fortunately,

The boss ran off quickly and forgot to pay, which gave me another chance to see her!

Therefore, Yu Yang felt perfectly justified in sneaking into Ali's courtyard again.

In the room, Ali fell into deep thought.

Now that I have a divine beast to rely on, all I'm missing is a suitable weapon. Hmm, let me think about the heroine's weapons. I can't handle divine-level weapons, and mortal-level weapons won't last long. Immortal-level weapons are the best. Although they're a bit difficult to use right now, choosing an immortal-level weapon that I can use for a long time is enough. I can always upgrade it later.

The most powerful weapon is undoubtedly the divine sword Phoenix Shadow, but it is the heroine's natal sword, so we won't bother with it.

The Immortal Sword has a very high level of prestige, but its sword spirit is difficult to control.

Yu Bailing is in the Divine Spring Valley of the Immortal Realm, so it's definitely not something you can get in a short time.

The Star Shattering Hammer is so ugly, the female lead barely used it.

(Ali: Without realizing it, I've become more and more adept at taking the female lead's treasures.)

Female lead: Are you being polite?

……

Ah, I've got it! Ali was secretly delighted. If she remembered correctly, the Azure Dragon Empire had a Purple Extreme Divine Whip.

The Purple Thunder God Whip is a top-grade immortal weapon, flexible, easy to use, and incredibly powerful. Moreover, it's versatile; it can be used as both a whip and a sword.

After eliminating numerous weapons, Ali finally chose her desired weapon: the Purple Thunder God Whip.

And coincidentally, the Purple Thunder God Whip is located in the capital, inside the secret realm of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

The female protagonist was given the opportunity to choose a reward from the treasure vault while refining medicine for the imperial advisor, but she accidentally entered a secret realm and obtained the Purple Thunder God Whip.

But she...

The thought of her medical skills gave Ali a headache. With her rudimentary abilities, she could at best cure minor ailments like headaches and rheumatism. Bringing the dead back to life? She couldn't do that. Alchemy? She couldn't do that either.

It seems the only option is to secretly find a way to infiltrate the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

However, the Imperial Preceptor's residence was heavily guarded, and normally no one except the emperor and the patriarchs of aristocratic families could enter, not even the princes.

Just as Ali was racking her brains, she inadvertently noticed that Yu Yang had come again. He was leaning against a big tree in the yard, looking down at her with a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

Ali rolled her eyes: "What are you doing here again?"

Yu Yang touched his nose, speaking with righteous indignation: "Miss Ali, you clearly said you were treating, but you ran away right after you finished eating. I didn't have any money to pay, so I left my subordinate there. I'm here to call you to ransom him..."

Ali: "..."

"...Are you so poor that you can't even afford a meal?"

"No."

"Then how dare you go out?"

"I never had to pay money before." Those I knew didn't dare to ask for it, and those who did were directly suppressed by force.

Ali looked speechless and tossed a silver pouch over: "Here's some silver."

Yu Yang rubbed his nose: "How about Miss Ali comes with me, just in case we don't have enough money?"

"Uh... let's go, let's go." Ali was annoyed at the moment and just wanted to get rid of this pest as soon as possible, so she couldn't be bothered to argue with him.

Yu Yang, who had originally planned to reason with him, was completely taken aback: "Where to?"

"I'll go with you to redeem them. Are you suggesting we leave them there for the New Year?"

"Oh, oh, oh," Yu Yang said awkwardly, following behind Ali. Wasn't his boss supposed to be very wary? How could this be...?

He deliberately lingered a beat, gave a hand signal to the person in the shadows, and then caught up with Ali's pace.
