Chapter 875: Within the Flower, a Maiden Fair as Jade
The receding torrent of the Dark Heavenly River crashed downward, its speed increasing rapidly, while the two enormous flowers slowly sank. The terrifying gravitational pull emanating from the great abyss grew stronger and stronger!
The combined pressure of the Dark Heavenly River and the gravity instantly rendered Qin Mu and the Dragon Qilin’s bodies unbearably heavy. Unable to maintain their balance, they involuntarily plummeted toward the abyss.
“Dragon-Phoenix Biting the Sky!”
The green sparrow on Qin Mu’s shoulder suddenly let out a piercing cry. Her primordial spirit materialized behind her, transforming into a dragon-phoenix with its head and tail connected—half Vermilion Bird, half Azure Dragon. It possessed the Vermilion Bird’s body and tail feathers, but from those tail feathers extended the tail of an Azure Dragon.
The dragon-phoenix spread its wings as if in flight, raised its head, and shrieked, emitting both sparrow calls and dragon roars from its mouth, spewing blazing sacred flames.
The Vermilion Bird’s sacred fire it spat ignited its Azure Dragon tail with a whoosh, and the flames quickly spread across its entire body, forming a ring of fire that blocked the terrifying power of the Guixu.
The dragon-phoenix bit its own tail, forming a ring with its body, creating an independent heaven and earth at its center—a safe minor cosmos.
This was the first time Qin Mu had seen Yan’er unleash her own ultimate technique, and it was so powerful that it withstood the backflow of the Dark Heavenly River and the gravitational pull of the Guixu.
This girl usually caught gods and demons from the Primordial Realm to snack on, but Qin Mu had rarely seen her fight. On ordinary days, she loved serving others—besides feeding him, she also enjoyed tidying Qin Mu’s clothes and smoothing out wrinkles.
But now, with Yan’er’s power fully unleashed, Qin Mu realized just how formidable and terrifying she was—even stronger and fiercer than the First Ancestor Human Sovereign!
After all, the First Ancestor Human Sovereign was already at the Jade Capital realm!
“I wonder how Yan’er’s strength compares to Emperor Shakya Heavenly Buddha?”
Qin Mu immediately accelerated, rushing toward the two enormous flowers.
He grew even more curious about Yan’er’s identity—the girl given by the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird to serve as Lady Moon’s maid. “Could it be that Yan’er is the daughter of the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird and the Eastern Emperor Azure Dragon?”
He blinked. If she was the daughter of two emperors, a princess by birth, how did she develop such a peculiar habit of enjoying serving others?
Finally, before the two enormous flowers completely closed, they squeezed through the gaps between the petals!
Behind them, the petals fully closed, cutting off the terrifying gravitational pull from the abyss and the pressure of the Dark Heavenly River. But with the disappearance of the pull and pressure, Yan’er momentarily lost control of her body and slammed heavily into the ground.
The minor cosmos formed by her primordial spirit shattered instantly. Qin Mu and the Dragon Qilin were also thrown down, tumbling and rolling until they crashed into a thick stamen, bounced off, hit another stamen, and were bounced back again.
The stamens were very soft. Despite their violent fall, Qin Mu and the others were uninjured—just dizzy from being tossed around, with no serious harm.
Qin Mu stood up and helped Yan’er to her feet. The Dragon Qilin also got up, finding the ground soft beneath him. He stomped the surface and marveled at how it was also soft.
Qin Mu looked around. Compared to the outside world, this place was remarkably calm and vast. The two flowers formed two adjacent, connected worlds.
These two worlds were not small at all—comparable to the outer cosmos—but there were no sun, moon, or stars in the sky.
What was strange was that the Guixu was pitch black, yet here there was light. One side was a pink world, the other a dark black world. They had fallen into the red world. The veins of the petals interwove in the sky, their patterns very peculiar, constantly flashing with red light.
At the intersection of the two worlds stood two palaces, one red and one black, which should be connected.
The Dragon Qilin looked around cautiously and said, “A star fell just now, causing the dark currents of the Heavenly River. If no more stars fall in the future, won’t we be trapped here?”
Yan’er stared at him very seriously. The Dragon Qilin lowered his head and fell silent.
He had already witnessed Yan’er’s power and decided to follow his heart, maintaining absolute respect for this sister who always fed him.
Yan’er was again tidying Qin Mu’s clothes, smoothing out the wrinkles.
Qin Mu was long accustomed to this. He walked to the edge of the flower world and gently touched the flower wall. It felt soft, like a young girl’s skin—even more delicate and unique than a girl’s skin.
“We are inside the ovary of these two flowers. These flowers are real, not divine weapons or anything like that.”
Qin Mu’s expression turned strange. “What kind of flower can withstand such terrifying gravitational force and destructive power from the Guixu?”
The patterns on the flower wall began to flow gently. Then a girl’s face emerged from the flower wall, eyes closed, gently rubbing her cheek against his palm as if enjoying it.
Qin Mu was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
“Empress!”
He had no doubt that if he were a cat, all his fur would be standing on end!
The face that emerged from the flower wall was none other than Empress’s face!
He had seen Empress’s corpse in the coffin on the ghost ship—he would never mistake that face!
The face on the flower wall grew out further, chasing after his hand, actively rubbing against his palm in a very intimate manner.
“Little brother!” Empress’s face let out a pleasant laugh.
Qin Mu’s body tensed, frozen still. The girl growing out of the flower wall had a very long neck but no body, like a beautiful snake.
“Little brother, no one has been here for so long.”
The beautiful snake slowly circled him. Scales grew on her neck, scraping across Qin Mu’s throat, leaving scratches that oozed blood.
His physical body had been refined to be as strong as gods and demons, yet before this beautiful snake’s scales, his body was as fragile as tofu.
“The ancient gods in the Guixu are not just the Empress sisters!”
His heart shook violently. “Other ancient gods have been born here too!”
Yan’er on Qin Mu’s shoulder quickly flew up and landed on the Dragon Qilin’s head, curiously tilting her head to examine this beautiful snake extending from the flower wall.
“I was ordered by my sister to guard this place, lonely for millions of years.”
The neck behind Empress’s face coiled around Qin Mu’s body, her cheek touching his, gently rubbing back and forth as she giggled. “Empress sister always makes me watch the house, makes me stay here. I’m so bored! After waiting so long, I finally got a handsome little brother.”
She extended her tongue—not a young girl’s delicate tongue, but a forked tongue, long, soft, and agile, licking Qin Mu’s cheek. “Little brother, did you come on my sister’s orders?”
Qin Mu remained calm. “I did come on Empress’s decree.”
The face suddenly pressed against Qin Mu’s chest to listen to his heartbeat, giggling. “Your heartbeat hasn’t changed, and your blood flow pressure hasn’t changed either. If you were lying, you’d be a master of deception.”
Qin Mu smiled. “Sister, how would I dare to lie?”
The beautiful snake chuckled. “Sweet talker. The password.”
Qin Mu’s heart sank, and the corner of his eye twitched. The beautiful snake’s expression changed drastically. With a swoosh, she tightened around Qin Mu, raising her head high. “You really are a master of deception! You almost fooled me! Hehe, I wanted to eat you just now, and now I can finally have a taste!”
Her mouth split open, growing wider and wider. Just then, Yan’er’s crisp voice rang out, filled with endless delight. “What a cute… big worm!”
The green sparrow flapped its wings, its body growing enormous. It pecked the beautiful snake’s neck and pulled outward with force.
Qin Mu was nearly strangled to death. He quickly turned his body into a shadow, breaking free, and slid along the ground, fleeing at top speed.
The beautiful snake, caught by the green sparrow’s beak, let out a shrill cry. “Little bird, I’m not a worm!”
Yan’er bit her neck and kept backing up. Each step carried her ten miles away, pulling the beautiful snake longer and longer as more of its body was dragged out of the flower wall.
Just as Qin Mu emerged from his shadow state, he saw the green sparrow step over his head, the beautiful snake stretched taut.
“Yan’er, that’s not a worm! It’s an ancient god!”
Qin Mu quickly shouted. “It’s an ancient god from the Guixu!”
“It’s a worm!”
The green sparrow revealed her true form, showing her dragon tail, transforming into a complete dragon-phoenix. Her bird claws turned into thick dragon claws as she struggled backward, intending to drag this “big worm” completely out of the flower wall and eat it. “It’s a big worm! This flower has worms growing in it!”
Qin Mu and the Dragon Qilin shuddered as they watched the beautiful snake being pulled out for hundreds of miles without fully emerging.
“It’s still an ancient god worm!” Qin Mu said exasperatedly.
Suddenly, inside this flower world, the soft stamens swayed and twisted. At the tips of the stamens, faces of Empress appeared one after another, crying out, “It hurts!”
“Little bird, you’re hurting me!”
The stamens, towering unknown miles high, twisted like snakes, darting back and forth, striking at the dragon-phoenix like lightning!
Yan’er grew excited. “This worm has so many heads! And it’s bigger than I thought—I can eat it for a long time!”
She flapped her wings, growing and shrinking, dodging the attacks of the stamens. Sometimes she slashed with her wings, cutting the stamens until they bled; sometimes she opened her mouth and spat Vermilion Bird sacred fire, burning the stamens until they let out pitiful cries; sometimes she summoned heavenly thunder, blasting everything around.
Qin Mu led the Dragon Qilin as they rushed toward the intersection of the two worlds, heading straight for the red and black palaces, avoiding the residual power of the two colossal beings’ techniques.
But in the sky, Yan’er and the multi-headed beautiful snake fought more and more fiercely, the power of their techniques growing stronger, forcing him to constantly dodge.
“Will Yan’er be okay?”
He glanced back hurriedly and saw that the dragon-phoenix Yan’er had transformed into was displaying abilities beyond the scope of the Southern and Eastern Emperors’ thunder and fire. Her techniques had become strange.
Every time she moved, a series of mirror images appeared—thirteen in total. Each mirror image possessed her full strength, attacking the beautiful snakes without falling behind!
Thirteen-fold Mirror Image.
“Could it be that Lady Moon passed on her skills to her?”
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt hopeful. If he could learn Lady Moon’s techniques from Yan’er, it would be a blessing!
The battle between Yan’er and the Guixu ancient god grew more intense, forcing him and the Dragon Qilin to retreat further, avoiding the aftershocks of their techniques.
Finally, they reached the intersection of the two worlds.
Qin Mu walked to the red palace. The Dragon Qilin poked his head inside to look. “Could there be enemies in here too?”
“Crow’s mouth!”
Qin Mu was furious. He kicked the Dragon Qilin into the palace. The Dragon Qilin let out a miserable scream, his voice still loud and clear after a long while.
Qin Mu relaxed and walked into the palace, laughing. “Fat Dragon, stop shouting. There are no enemies…”
He suddenly froze. The Dragon Qilin had been kicked onto a crystal coffin, his four claws gripping the four corners of the coffin, lying there motionless.
The Dragon Qilin was most afraid of supernatural things. Being kicked onto the coffin had scared him stiff, and he kept staring at the corpse inside the crystal coffin, screaming nonstop.
Qin Mu shook his head and walked over. “You’ve been with me this long and still can’t handle strange things? I…”
When he saw the face in the crystal coffin, his mouth fell open, his eyes wide, and he couldn’t speak anymore.
Lying in the crystal coffin was another Empress, but with one difference from the Empress on the ghost ship: the Empress in the coffin had a black mole between her eyebrows, while the one on the ghost ship had a red mole!
