Keyboard Immortal-Chapter 2520: Goddess

“The Fiend races’ Imperial Tomb? The Lord of Slaughter and the Monster Lord?” The woman frowned. The killing intent in her eyes faded a little.

“What’s wrong, Manman?” Zu An could fathom a guess about the situation, but he would rather believe that Pei Mianman was suffering from amnesia.

The woman’s face turned cold, and her killing intent flared again.

The Saintess glared at Zu An as she quickly explained, “We came here under the Kaiming Six Shamans' guidance to seek an audience with Deity Bao Jiang to obtain a Brilliant Pinflower to treat little sister Xiaoxi. You went missing searching for this flower. I didn’t expect we would be reunited here. How did you get here?”

She spoke quickly but clearly, concisely revealing their relationship with Pei Mianman while highlighting their relationship with the Kaiming Six Shamans.

The beautiful woman could roughly figure out what was going on, and she coldly replied, “I’m not your big sister Pei or Manman or whatever. You got the wrong person.”

Zu An was stunned. His mind went blank when his suspicions were confirmed. How could two people in the world look so identical?

But he quickly recalled the Mermaid Queen and the Peacock Princess; they were identical to the future Shang Liuyu and Kong Nanwu. From that angle, it wasn’t impossible for someone to resemble Pei Mianman too. However, losing another lead to Pei Mianman’s whereabouts made Zu An uneasy.

The Saintess had thought as much, but she feigned astonishment and exclaimed, “You aren’t big sister Pei? How is that possible? There’s no way we would fail to recognize her!”

The woman lost her patience. “You have the wrong person. But what are these Fiend races’ Imperial Tomb, Lord of Slaughter, and Monster Lord? Why have I never heard about them before?”

Upon hearing that she didn’t know about those things, Zu An had no choice but to give up. “It seems we indeed had the wrong person. I apologize for my earlier discourtesy.”

His earnest attitude placated the beautiful woman’s anger. In truth, she was perplexed too. Given her temperament, she wouldn’t have hesitated to kill any men who dared to suddenly embrace her. But for some reason, she felt no killing intent toward him despite her anger. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have held back even with the Saintess’ intervention. It was weird how she felt intimate toward him despite having never met him before.

“May I know if you are Deity Bao Jiang?” the Saintess asked.

The beautiful woman shook her head. “I am not Bao Jiang. I am his neighbor, and I came here because I have business with him.”

“Neighbor?” Zu An looked at the neighboring spirit mountains and wondered where she resided.

“This is big brother Zu An, and I am Yumen Beiqing. May I ask what your name is?” Seeing that Zu An was in no state to socialize, the Saintess had to step up and gather more information.

The beautiful woman was hesitant to reveal her identity, but the inexplicable intimacy she felt toward Zu An made her relent. “You can call me Yaoji.”

“Yaoji?” The Saintess was surprised. “Are you the Flame Emperor’s little daughter, the Goddess of Wu Mountain?”

Zu An was taken aback. He finally remembered why that name sounded so familiar. The Spirit Mountain’s Ten Shamans had mentioned this neighbor of theirs the last time he was here, but he hadn’t expected the other party to bear such a striking resemblance to Pei Mianman.

The Goddess of Wu Mountain looked at the Saintess. “You know me?”

Zu An was perplexed as well. Even he took time to recall this piece of information; it was puzzling how quickly little sister Ling’er reacted here.

“I have long heard about your legend. You are indeed as ethereal as others claim,” the Saintess threw a compliment over.

The Goddess of Wu Mountain was unfazed, having heard many such compliments before. “You said the Kaiming Six Shamans sent you here. Do you have evidence of that?”

As soon as Zu An took out Wu Peng’s tortoiseshell, it abruptly flew into the Goddess of Wu Mountain’s hand. She said, “Yes, this is indeed Wu Peng’s aura. You must be trustworthy to have earned their recognition.”

The tortoiseshell floated back to Zu An. The light fragrance that lingered on it left him dazed. Is she really not Pei Mianman?

“You came at a bad time. He has already left,” the Goddess of Wu Mountain said.

“He left? Toward where?!” the Saintess anxiously asked.

The Goddess of Wu Mountain calmly replied, “I was looking around and saw a note saying that he left. He must have reported back to the Celestial Court.”

“Am I still a step too late...” The Saintess fell into a daze. She looked as if someone had sapped her energy dry.

Zu An looked at her contemplatively before asking, “Goddess, is there a way to find him? There’s something I need his help with.”

The Goddess of Wu Mountain impatiently replied, “Do you think you would be more important to him than the Celestial Emperor’s orders?”

Zu An detected disdain in her voice and explained, “He is in danger right now. He could die if we don’t get to him right away. Goddess, you must be his friend to freely wander around his cave. I’m sure you wouldn’t want anything to happen to him either.”

The Goddess of Wu Mountain was taken aback. “What makes you say that?”
