“You actually didn’t collect the poison pellets I spat out?! No wonder the plants here withered!”
Adai also noticed the two poison pellets lying on the yellowed grass and sounded displeased.
Yun Qingxue’s fingertips shimmered with a faint blue glow as she used her magic to lift the two pellets Adai had spat out from the ground.
Anything capable of poisoning the surrounding vegetation to death in such a short time must be extremely toxic.
Faced with such potent poison, Yun Qingxue was at a loss about how to handle it.
“Master, those are absolutely precious treasures!” Just as Yun Qingxue hesitated over what to do with the two poison pellets, Liuli, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
“At least someone recognizes their worth!”
As Liuli finished speaking, Adai lifted his little head with a proud expression.
“How exactly are they valuable?” Yun Qingxue asked.
Adai turned to her and eagerly explained, “Our Sacred Serpent clan only spits out pellets once in our lifetime.
Master, you already know that I’ve only ever consumed poison.
These pellets are the refined essence of all the toxins I’ve ingested, naturally condensed within my body. They are the concentrated essence of countless poisons in this world.
Though they are the deadliest of substances, they are also an incredibly rare and life-saving medicine!”
“That amazing?” Yun Qingxue gazed at the two beautiful beads.
Adai nodded. “The purer and more varied the poisons a Sacred Serpent consumes before spitting out its pellets, the more valuable the pellets become.
Master, when I was with the Dragon King, he naturally fed me the finest poisons. After I started following you, I continued consuming high-grade toxins brought from the Dragon Palace.
Later, I met Hua Yin—the only reason I followed him was because that guy was practically a walking poison trove!
And then, I even swallowed the demonic miasma that foolish woman Yun Sisi used to attack you…
Haha… I dare say the poison pellets I’ve spat out are the purest our Sacred Serpent clan has produced in a thousand years!”
Yun Qingxue wrapped the two poison pellets in her magic and stored them in her spatial bracelet.
She smiled at Adai. “As precious as your poison pellets are, I find it even more worth celebrating that you and Liuli can now speak!”
The sun blazed overhead as the main peaks of Luoyun Mountain emitted waves of gray-green light.
The mountain, previously ravaged by the battle between the Violet Song Sage and the Divine Emperor, was soon enveloped in the gray-green glow, restoring its former vitality in moments.
On a distant hill, Yun Sisi angrily struck down a tree as thick as a grown man’s waist.
How infuriating!
She had searched Luoyun Mountain for so long, yet she couldn’t find that wretched Yun Qingxue!
Had the bitch died?
The thought made her smirk, but her expression quickly darkened again.
When the Divine Emperor arrived, Changxing had rushed to protect her—while that wretch Yun Qingxue was likely shielded by the Violet Song Sage!
After all, the bitch was his disciple!
How infuriating! She couldn’t understand what was so special about Yun Qingxue that the Violet Song Sage, her father, and even Changxing all favored her!
Hmph! How dare she steal the affection meant for Yun Sisi? Just wait, Yun Qingxue!
A ruthless glint flashed in Yun Sisi’s eyes as she plotted.
Luoyun Mountain wasn’t enormous, but it was far from small.
This wasn’t the demon realm where she could act recklessly—she had only been here a few days and wasn’t familiar with the terrain.
If Yun Qingxue had been deliberately hidden by the Violet Song Sage or Changxing, she’d never find her!
Blindly searching like this was pointless. She might as well return and pry information from them!
Having made up her mind, Yun Sisi swiftly headed back to the main peak.
At that moment, everyone—including Jinlin—had gathered in the Violet Song Sage’s residence.
Yun Sisi located them and was about to push the door open when she overheard the Sage’s voice.
“I wonder what Qingxue experienced in the Yunhuang Illusionary Realm… How could she suddenly lose contact?”
Hearing the name of the person she most wanted dead, Yun Sisi froze.
Then came the voice of Changxing, someone she knew well.
“Master, there’s no need to worry too much. The Yunhuang Illusionary Realm is full of opportunities. Little Junior Sister might have encountered some rare fortune—perhaps she’ll return with cultivation rivaling mine!”
Yunhuang Illusionary Realm?
Yun Sisi frowned. She had heard of this place before. So, the Violet Song Sage had sent Yun Qingxue there!
No wonder she had scoured nearly all of Luoyun Mountain without finding a trace of the wretch!
Turns out, the Sage had sent her elsewhere!
And from Changxing’s words, the Yunhuang Illusionary Realm was a place that could enhance one’s cultivation!
Why? Why did that bitch get all the advantages?
Her father and the Violet Song Sage were close friends—why had the Sage taken Yun Qingxhe as his disciple but refused her?!
Yunhuang Illusionary Realm? Hmph! If she ever found that place, she’d make sure Yun Qingxue never returned! Then let’s see how she could compete!
Clenching her teeth, Yun Sisi heard the Violet Song Sage speak again.
“Still, I can’t help but worry. I won’t rest easy until I see her myself.”
“Master, Jinlin volunteers to go to the Yunhuang Illusionary Realm and check on Qingxue!” Jinlin offered.
“Master, I’ll go to assist Junior Sister!” Mo Changxing quickly added.
After a moment’s hesitation, the Sage agreed. “Very well. Both of you may go. However… unless your junior sister is in mortal danger, you must not interfere with her trials. Do you agree?”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
For once, Mo Changxing and Jinlin answered in unison.
“Xing’er.” Yun Ye, who had been silent until now, spoke up. “Xing’er, your Sisi sister has always longed to stay by your side. If you suddenly leave, my precious daughter will throw a fit—I’ll have quite the headache then!”
“Father.” Mo Changxing turned to him. “I only see Sisi as a sister. There are no romantic feelings between us.”
“Ah!” Yun Ye sighed. “The flower pines, but the stream flows on indifferently… Young people’s affairs are best left to themselves.”
Outside the door, Yun Sisi’s hands clenched into fists.
She refused to believe that after all these years, Changxing was unaware of her feelings!
Yet now he claimed to see her only as a sister…
And he was going to the Yunhuang Illusionary Realm to find that wretch Yun Qingxue!
Fine!
You all love that bitch, don’t you? She’d make sure Yun Qingxue vanished from this world forever!
Yun Sisi gritted her teeth in silent fury.
“Very well. There’s no time to waste. Follow me outside—I’ll open the entrance to the Yunhuang Illusionary Realm and send you two to reunite with Qingxue.”
As the Violet Song Sage finished speaking, Yun Sisi heard footsteps approaching the door and quickly hid.
