My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

The finals of the Spiritual Wine Competition was very intense. In addition to Su Jin and Su Chen refining with grade 9 ingredients, there were several spiritual wine masters from the Sea Realm who also brewed grade 9 spiritual wine.

The Demon Realm and Devil Realm weren’t very good at wine brewing, so the highest grade of spiritual wine master was only grade 8, and very scarce.

Su Jin refined portions of the spiritual fruits into a liquid, his heart as calm as water, and he soon entered an ethereal state. Everything that happened outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.

His movements were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, proficient and elegant, coupled with his outstanding appearance and temperament, it made him most pleasing to the eye. Most of the judges and the audiences present were looking at him.

In particular, for some young female spiritual wine masters, their eyes began to glow with infatuation.

Su Chen’s situation was completely different from Su Jin’s. He not only focused on the spiritual fruit he refined, but also allocated a small part of his focus on Su Jin.

Seeing Su Jin’s proficient movements, never failing to refine a spiritual fruit, his heart couldn’t help but begin to grow impetuous.

[PU PU!!] The moment Su Chen’s heart became restless, another spiritual fruit in the wine cauldron was wasted when refining.

He furrowed his brows tightly and took a deep breath.

“If you have such a mentality, you won’t be able to refine grade 9 spiritual wine at all.” Suddenly, that old and indifferent voice sounded in his sea of consciousness.

Su Chen’s heart thumped, as if a basin of cold water had been poured into his mind instantly, “Senior, I was wrong.”

“As long as you know you’re wrong. Now let go of your body, this old man will help you with a sliver of my divine consciousness. This time, you must win the Spiritual Wine Competition. The classic 《Ancient Wine Recipes》 is very important to this old man.” The elderly voice sounded again.

When Su Chen heard that the elderly man wanted to help, he was overjoyed, “Yes.”

He quickly loosened the control over his body, and the elderly man’s wisp of divine consciousness gradually controlled the brewing process of the spiritual wine, and this time, there was no mistake nor failures.

Lou Mu Yan, who sat at the top, wasn’t only watching Su Jin brew wine, but also paid attention to several talented people participating in the competition from time to time, and soon discovered that something was wrong with Su Chen.

Ming Xiu was also invited as a guest this time, sitting right beside Lou Mu Yan.

“There’s something wrong with Su Chen’s situation. He failed in refining the spiritual fruits before from time to time, but now his movements are much smoother.” Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows slightly and said in a whisper to Ming Xiu.

Su Chen’s movements were not only much smoother right now, but even looked a bit like a veteran in brewing wine.

Ming Xiu narrowed his eyes and released a very weak sliver of mental energy. After a while, he said: “His body is controlled by a separate wisp of divine consciousness right now. It should be the soul you noticed before making tricks.”

Lou Mu Yan already had this guess in her heart. She sneered when she heard Ming Xiu’s words: “Su Chen thinks he can beat Senior Brother like this?”

“That soul that controls Su Chen’s brewing is also a grade 9 spiritual wine master. Could his grade be higher than Brother Su’s?” Ming Xiu couldn’t tell the difference between the two because he didn’t know how to brew wine.

“No, that soul’s just an intermediate-level grade 9 spiritual wine master while Senior Brother is only one step away from reaching grade 10. Although the same spiritual fruits are used for brewing, but the quality of the final fermented spiritual wine would definitely be different.” Lou Mu Yan suppressed the coldness in her eyes and said with a smile.

What was more, Su Chen’s spiritual wine was equivalent to two people jointly brewing it. At most, it was good in quality, but it would definitely be poor in other aspects.

Ming Xiu curled his lips up into a smile: “Brother Su seems to be able to completely crush the Su Clan.”

The ancestor of the Su Clan was only an intermediate-level grade 9 spiritual wine master too. He had been favoured by advanced-level powerhouses in the Human Realm for so many years. By the time the news that Su Jin was an advanced-level grade 9 spiritual wine master was revealed after the competition, the Su Clan would definitely lose face.

“Mm, what we want is to make the Su Clan unable to raise their heads in public.” Lou Mu Yan was very disgusted with the Su Clan.

Soon, the spiritual wine in the hands of the spiritual wine masters present had been successfully brewed, and only the last few grade 9 spiritual wine masters were left to continue.

This time, Su Chen’s mind was devoted to brewing wine. The elderly man in his body was very proficient, and soon it was coming to an end.

After approximately another hour, all the people present finished brewing the spiritual wine.

The assistant judges of the organising party served the wines of each winemaker participating in the competition to the judge’s seat.

This time, not only were there advanced-level spiritual wine masters invited to be judges, but also several top experts who were addicted to alcohol. Their tongues were very sharp.

Time passed little by little. The chief judges above were tasting and scoring the wine, and the spiritual wine masters below were anxiously waiting for the result.

Su Jin stood there indifferently and elegantly, as if he didn’t care about the results of the competition at all.

Four hours later, one of the head judges, a grade 10 spiritual wine master from the Sea Realm, stood up and said some formalities, then began to announce the result of the competition.

“First place is Su Jin from the Human Realm. The spiritual wine brewed is advanced-level grade 9, with excellent quality, mellow aroma, and excellent taste.

“Second place from the Sea Realm…”

“Fourth Place is Su Chen from the Human Realm. The spiritual wine he brewed is an intermediate-level grade 9, with high quality, but a little inferior in mellow aroma and taste.”

“…”

Soon the judges read out the top ten winners of the contest, and asked Su Jin to come on stage to receive the reward of the 《Ancient Wine Recipes》 classic.

Su Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief.

How—How was it possible?

It had not even been long, how could Su Jin become an advanced-level grade 9 spiritual wine master from someone who knew nothing about spiritual wine?

“It’s impossible. Su Jin can’t be an advanced-level grade 9 spiritual wine master, he must have cheated.” Su Chen was mad with jealousy and couldn’t resist shouting in a moment of hot-headedness.

His voice made everyone present quiet down and many advanced-level spiritual wine masters gave him a look as if he was an idiot.

From brewing spiritual wine to sending it to the judge’s seat, so many pairs of eyes were watching Su Jin, how could he cheat.

And be it in terms of proficiency or the way of refining, anyone who knew how to brew wine could tell that Su Jin wasn’t only just a little bit better than Su Chen.

The judge originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard Su Chen’s questioning, he immediately became angry on the spot, “Bastard, we have so many advanced-level spiritual wine masters as judges to supervise, do you think we’d be unable to see if Su Jin is cheating or not?”

Advanced-level spiritual wine masters had weird tempers, and this one’s temper was especially fiery.

“The spiritual wine you brewed paid too much attention to grade, and the mellow aroma and taste weren’t satisfactory. A person like you who is mad with jealousy, obsessed with interests, and spoke out loud without filters is not worthy of being an advanced-level spiritual wine master.”

The elderly man snorted coldly and said: “This old man announces the disqualification of the Human Realm’s Su Chen, and the result of the fourth place will also be considered invalid. Those who got a lower place will be promoted by one.”

It was the first time he met someone who dared to question their wine tasting ability, so he directly angrily disqualified Su Chen.

“No, you can’t do this. What right do you have to disqualify my ranking.” Su Chen’s expression changed greatly when he heard the elderly man’s words.

If he was disliked and dismissed in this Spiritual Wine Competition by the judges, then his future would also be denied. Which powerhouse would find a spiritual wine master who had been disqualified for his misbehaviour to brew wine.

Another judge from the Human Realm said with a sullen expression: “This is unanimously approved by us chief judges. If you cause a commotion again, then please leave the Spiritual Wine Conference immediately.”

“You’re all ganging up to bully me, how could you disqualify me, is it because Su Jin and…” Su Chen continued to yell in dissatisfaction, but before he could say anything more, he was picked up by a powerhouse maintaining order and tossed out the grounds of the competition.

After Su Chen was tossed out, the faces of the Patriarch of the Su Clan and their superiors instantly turned extremely ugly.
