Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 941 - 493: Deep Within the Origin Palace, Gods and Immortals, Boundless Mana (Part 3)

But she was just afraid, like a mouse fearing a cat.

So she could only run, quickly run away.

However, Jue Qing soon discovered that all the escape routes around her were sealed.

As she lingered on the beams, anxiously debating whether to break through a weak point, she suddenly sensed a gaze.

It was from a woman who had just entered.

Unlike the strange people with long necks, this young woman's neck wasn't long at all; she was even quite beautiful and normal.

She looked very kind and approachable.

Upon noticing Jue Qing above, the young woman didn't make a sound; instead, she glanced around and pointed in a direction.

Jue Qing didn't hesitate and climbed quickly in that direction, soon discovering that there was an unobtrusive opening in the roof leading to the upper floor.

It was exactly where the young woman had pointed.

Jue Qing crawled up through the opening and quickly found herself in a room upstairs.

From the dressing table, the carved copper mirror, and the light green gauzy curtains, it was evident this was a woman's boudoir.

A faint scent of cherry blossoms filled the room.

At this moment, Jue Qing heard the sound of footsteps.

She quickly hid behind the copper mirror.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and sure enough, the young woman entered.

She soon lit an incense burner, and the fragrance of cherry blossoms in the room grew stronger.

The young woman saw Jue Qing, pointed under the bed, and Jue Qing quickly crawled underneath, as she had noticed the shadows of the long-necked beings outside the nearby windows.

They floated around like evil spirits, silently.

The woman also crawled under the bed, whispering, "You come from outside, why are you here?"

Jue Qing fearfully glanced around and pointed to her ear.

The young woman said, "Don't be afraid; they're fairies, and their hearing isn't sharp."

After confirming that the shadows outside didn't change, Jue Qing finally relaxed a bit.

"You can only leave after dawn, for when night falls, the fairies awaken," the young woman said.

Jue Qing frowned and asked, "Why are you helping me? Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"

The young woman was taken aback, then smiled—a smile that was both desolate and beautiful—and said, "A bad person? I haven't seen anyone like myself for a long time, so what is there to fear from a bad person."

"I'm the only one here."

When she said this, her voice was filled with despair.

Jue Qing couldn't help but ask, "Where is the Great Heavenly Dog?"

The young woman replied fearfully, "He's not human."

From her expression, it was clear the Great Heavenly Dog had done many terrible things.

Jue Qing pointed to the shadows outside and asked, "They're not human?"

The young woman shook her head and said, "Fairies are celestial, not human. Although they are now half-celestial, they are no longer human."

"Remember, all the fairies here have one characteristic. Never look into their eyes if you encounter them."

"What characteristic?" Jue Qing asked.

"This characteristic."

As these words emerged, Jue Qing felt a chill run down her spine.

Because when she crawled under the bed, this woman was behind her, yet now the voice was coming from in front of her.

Unbeknownst to her, the young woman's originally normal neck had become very long, like a snake.

It slithered before Jue Qing, facing her, and her cheeks became withered and sunken.

At this point, she pointed to a red mark on her forehead and said hauntingly, "This is the characteristic."

As soon as she said that, the red mark split open like a wide-open mouth...
