Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 2039 - 520: Another Tsundere (First Update)
Night falls, different from the night filled with smog outside, the Dragon Clan’s night still retains its primitive freshness and nature. Here, everything is unscarred by chemical agents, all remains as it originally was.
At this time, every household has lit a faint candle light, surrounding Luo Shui with a band of light, looking from above, it resembles a long fiery dragon.
The Sky Punishment Pavilion is located in the most secretive place of the tribe, between two large mountains. The pavilion has five floors, tower-shaped, with personnel from the Sky Punishment Pavilion guarding it tightly everywhere.
A gentle breeze blows by, and the guards cautiously observe around, but no one notices that two figures have silently entered the Sky Punishment Pavilion.
"According to the Dragon Clan’s records, the Pavilion Master of Sky Punishment Pavilion resides on the fourth floor. The fifth floor is where the Soul Severing Grass is kept. Sister An, to reach the fifth floor, we must evade Xuan Mo’s eyes." Long Zixuan, dressed in black, whispered through his lips in the darkness.
An Yiqing nodded, Xuan Mo’s schedule is extremely secretive, the Old Clan Chief only knows he spends two hours every evening practicing on the back mountain of the Sky Punishment Pavilion. Nothing else is known of his whereabouts.
They only have two hours to act.
Looking up at the ceiling, through the Clairvoyant Eye, An Yiqing clearly saw that numerous Sky Punishment Pavilion members are distributed on the second and third floors, yet the fourth floor is empty. As for the fifth floor, An Yiqing’s eyes shone, she saw the Soul Severing Grass!
"Follow me, I have a way."
Grabbing Long Zixuan’s wrist, An Yiqing with a thought, vanished from the spot. Along with her, Long Zixuan’s figure disappeared too.
Long Zixuan gazed blankly at the mirror before him, he clearly hasn’t left, yet his reflection is absent in the mirror. He once heard from Yin Xilin that An Yiqing could become invisible, but experiencing it firsthand, he was still utterly shocked.
Their footsteps were light, swiftly passing through the checkpoints on the second and third floors. Standing on the staircase leading to the fourth floor, An Yiqing squinted slightly, always feeling something seemed off.
Isn’t everything progressing too smoothly? Xuan Mo is so cunning, how could he allow easy access to the fourth floor? Could it be...
Squinting her eyes, An Yiqing casually pulled out a Silver Needle, and shot it in the direction of the fourth floor——
Bang——!
Suddenly, massive flames erupted from the walls on either side of the staircase, instantly turning the pure silver Silver Needle into steam.
Long Zixuan gasped, if that Silver Needle were replaced with them, they’d be burnt to pure ash!
Fortunately, the commotion on the fourth floor did not alert the people downstairs. However, figuring out how to pass through the fourth floor became a significant problem.
Invisibility is a useful method, but that doesn’t mean invisibility is omnipotent. The Invisibility Technique can hide body form and aura, but An Yiqing cannot be sure if it can conceal physiological characteristics.
This flame-spewing device should function similarly to an infrared sensing device, the surrounding temperature changes will trigger an alarm.
An Yiqing dare not risk whether invisibility can hide body heat, she cannot gamble with Long Zixuan’s life.
Frowning tightly, An Yiqing felt a bit troubled. Suddenly, a finger poked her, An Yiqing looked up in doubt and saw Long Zixuan gesturing downwards.
Looking down following Long Zixuan’s gaze, An Yiqing’s mouth twitched.
"When did you come out?"
Old Jin lazily wiped his face and gave An Yiqing a disdainful glance, "I sensed you needed me, so Master Cat came out."
An Yiqing helplessly held her forehead, but then an idea struck her, she quickly picked up Old Jin.
"Your barrier, can it cover human characteristics?"
Old Jin snorted proudly, "Why else would I come out? I might as well be catching fish in space!"
Too busy to bicker with this pesky cat, An Yiqing tapped its little nose, "Master Cat, please help us. In a bit over an hour, Xuan Mo returns."
"What’s in it for me?"
"Three grilled fish feasts!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Old Jin’s paw slapped An Yiqing’s hand, "Deal!"
It twisted its body, jumped from An Yiqing’s arms, and with a wave of its paw, a circular energy shield enveloped An Yiqing and Long Zixuan within.
"This barrier can only last for an hour, I can only perform it once a day with my current power. You must complete everything and leave the Sky Punishment Pavilion within that hour."
An Yiqing nodded and tucked Old Jin back into the Ancient Space.
With Long Zixuan’s help, the two floated slowly over the stairs, passing the fourth floor, and smoothly arrived at the fifth floor.
An Yiqing once again sighed, it’s wonderful to be able to fly!
The fifth floor of Sky Punishment Pavilion, besides the Pavilion Master, no one else is allowed in. Originally thought to be filled with traps, but reality proved otherwise.
This is simply a regular hall, with a high platform set at the end of the hall, where the Soul Severing Grass is openly placed, emitting a faint blue glow.
Where there’s anomaly, there’s danger, the more mundane a place seems, the more perilous it might be.
An Yiqing opened her Clairvoyant Eye, carefully inspecting the entire hall, yet surprised to find no mechanisms at all.
What is going on?
With a mind full of questions, An Yiqing and Long Zixuan cautiously approached the platform. With every step, they were on high alert, watching the surroundings. But upon reaching the platform, they frustratingly found all their cautions unnecessary.
With no traps in the hall, could it be there are mechanisms on this platform?
The two exchanged glances, seeing solemnity in each other’s eyes.
Staring at the alluringly glowing Soul Severing Grass on the platform, Long Zixuan stepped forward. He pursed his handsome lips and shielded An Yiqing behind him.
"Sister An, let me. If I encounter danger, don’t worry about me, saving yourself is crucial."
"Don’t utter nonsense! You were picked up by me on Dawang Mountain, your life is mine too. I won’t let you die, you cannot die. Besides, if Lingling, that little girl finds out you were hurt, she’d cry to death!"
Mentioning Yin Xilin, a gentle trace passed through Long Zixuan’s captivating dark eyes. Just as he was momentarily distracted, An Yiqing swiftly reached out her right hand towards the Soul Severing Grass.
Long Zixuan panicked inside, hurriedly wanting to stop An Yiqing’s action. However, what happened next left both him and An Yiqing stunned.
The Soul Severing Grass... ran away...
With two little legs, it simply ran...
Eyes wide in disbelief, An Yiqing felt lately she’s been lacking sleep. Animals becoming spirits is one thing, but even a plant running around?
And Long Zixuan, with a look of embarrassment, watched the Soul Severing Grass swinging on a hanging rope, his gaze frozen.
...Weren’t we told that after the founding of the nation, creatures couldn’t become spirits...what about plants...
Settling the shattered feelings, rebuilding the collapsed worldview, An Yiqing took a deep breath, quietly walking up to the Soul Severing Grass.
"Uh... hello." Having said that, An Yiqing’s mouth twitched, she was actually greeting a plant.
The Soul Severing Grass twisted its body humanely, ’turning its butt’, and ran away again.
Clearly, this buddy wasn’t interested in An Yiqing.
With a helpless sigh, she pressed her aching temple. An Yiqing finally understood why so many Pavilion Masters of Sky Punishment Pavilion never dared to covet the Soul Severing Grass.
It’s not because of intricate mechanisms, but its astonishing speed.
Even though she has seen many experts, she had to admit, the escape speed of the Soul Severing Grass is invincible.
Not even if Gu Yelin came, would he necessarily manage to touch a strand of the Soul Severing Grass.
Approaching the Soul Severing Grass again, An Yiqing grew wise, expressing everything she wanted to say in one breath.
"My friend Long Zixuan is under a restriction, and needs the Soul Severing Grass to save his life. I hope you can help us. I only need a bit of your juice. If you can help me, I will show great gratitude."
Having said that, An Yiqing performed a trick, producing a nearly ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng.
"I’ve heard Soul Severing Grass loves absorbing Spiritual Energy, this Ginseng is nearly ten thousand years old, can I exchange it for your juice?"
Seeing the proud Soul Severing Grass’s little flower on top twitch, An Yiqing smiled inwardly, then magically produced three Heaven Mountain Snow Lotuses and two Large Ganoderma from the Ancient Space.
"If you give me some juice, all these will be yours," An Yiqing continued enticing.
