Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 713 - 170: The War of Men
Although there were complications, Yue Jinghua fortunately managed to acquire the Dark Pills from the two Snake Women. It was also thanks to the fact that both Snake Women were Dark Demon Embryos whose Cultivation greatly diminished on the Canglong Continent, which provided Yue Jinghua and her Dark Beasts the opportunity to take advantage.
Little Gore immediately consumed the two Dark Pills.
After swallowing the Dark Pills, a dazzling golden light emanated from the body of Snake-haired Little Gore.
Amidst the golden light, Snake-haired Little Gore underwent a transformation, like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, her petite and delicate body growing rapidly.
Under the crown, her golden hair flowed like clouds, her figure became slender and graceful, her chest rose prominently, her waist drew in to perfect form, the snake scales on her body turned from a thick pale gold to a dazzling array of colors, and her eyes and brows became even more seductive and enchanting.
However, two additional heads now sprouted from her original snake body, resembling the two Snake Women Meixi and Bella.
After merging with the Dark Pills of the two Snake Women, Little Gore successfully evolved into the Dusa Queen with three heads.
A three-headed snake is the king-level form of the Dusa Snake race, not only possessing the water and earth attributes of Big Snake Woman Meixi but also inheriting Bella’s Wind Attribute and incorporating Little Gore’s Petrification ability.
In her serpentine form, the attack power of the three-headed Dusa Queen reached its peak. Thanks to the evolution, the three-headed Dusa Queen now possessed high-level intelligence and could assume human form in normal times.
After seeing the formidable appearance of the three-headed snake, all the Dark Beasts were silenced, their faces full of envious drooling.
The Gold Eater Worm even shamelessly begged Yue Jinghua for several High-level Dark Pills, only to be swatted far away with a slap from Yue Jinghua.
"Thank you, Master," In order to better assimilate into the life on the Canglong Continent, Yue Jinghua decided to have Little Gore accompany her in human form from now on.
Having a three-headed Dusa Queen as a bodyguard was quite a flashy affair.
Yue Jinghua was immensely pleased, and with that, the affair at Mist Canyon was brought to a close.
To Yue Jinghua’s surprise, Qing Pu had not returned. Could it be that he encountered some trouble while dealing with Fa Xiaoyi?
After gathering her beasts, Yue Jinghua, accompanied by Shalman and Human-shaped Gore, swiftly headed toward the deepest part of Mist Canyon.
Along the way, she faintly sensed a strong energy fluctuation.
The sky was oddly split into two colors, one cyan and one purple; they twisted and entwined, resembling the vortex in a raging sea.
After advancing a few more steps, a team of men and beasts appeared ahead, the War Beasts uniformly being Seventh-stage Snow Eagle Vultures, clad in white clothes and robes. Yue Jinghua recognized the leader at a glance.
Song Mu.
The Divine Court has arrived.
Her heart sank slightly. The Divine Court really was like a meddlesome mouse, interfering when least expected—whether it was the treasure of the Sky Dragon Palace in Five Saints Town or the affairs between Shang Kingdom and the Dragon War Empire.
If Song Mu was stationed outside, then the person inside could only be Zong Shaoqing.
Song Mu showed little surprise at Yue Jinghua’s arrival, clearly aware that Yue Jinghua was also involved in this trip to Shang Kingdom.
"Miss Yue, please halt," Zong Shaoqing’s trip to Shang Kingdom this time was under the command of the Great Elder of the Divine Court.
When Song Mu and the others arrived near Mist Canyon, the Divine Son suddenly left the main group and ordered everyone to guard the entrance of the canyon, forbidding unauthorized entry.
Just now, a vast and majestic surge of Dark Power came from deep within the canyon.
If it wasn’t for their trust in the Divine Son’s strength, Song Mu would have already led his men to barge in.
"What if I refuse to stop?" Yue Jinghua smiled roguishly, a smile so dazzling that even Song Mu couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.
Caught off-guard, he fell right into Yue Jinghua’s trap. She moved with the agility of a spirit bird, and with steps unknown, in the blink of an eye, she slipped past Song Mu’s side.
Song Mu reached out to stop her, only to be caught off guard by a snort from the nose of the stunning blonde woman following behind Yue Jinghua.
Song Mu only felt a fragrant breeze wafting over, as the cloud-like golden hair brushed against his cheeks.
Song Mu, hailing from the Divine Judgment Store, had cultivated purity from a young age. Now, with the golden hair tickling him, he felt an itch on his face as if a light feather had fluttered across.
The golden hair, appearing delicate, had barely touched Song Mu’s face when it suddenly transformed into over a hundred vicious-looking little snakes, each only as thick as a pinkie finger, with their tiny scales standing on end. Turning to look again at the blonde woman...
The once beautiful woman now had blue ghostly light shining from her eyes.
Song Mu was jolted, his veins feeling as if they had been encased in ice, rendering him powerless against the onslaught of the little snakes.
Just as he was about to be killed by the snakes, the voice of Yue Jinghua drifted by his ear: "Gore, spare his life."
No sooner had she spoken than Song Mu’s previously immobilized body suddenly relaxed, and looking at his limbs, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Remnants of petrification lingered on his limbs, a pale lime color.
If Yue Jinghua had been any later, even by a fraction of a second, he would likely have been turned into a stone sculpture.
Turning back to the blonde woman, she had already retreated behind Yue Jinghua, bearing a look of disdain, unwilling to spare Song Mu another glance.
While Song Mu found himself in an awkward situation, the situation of the three people in Mist Canyon was not much better.
Just as Qing Pu harbored murderous intent toward Fa Xiaoyi, following the streak of purple light that tore through the sky, a person appeared out of thin air, dispersing Qing Pu’s Thunder God Summon.
"It’s you!"
"It is I."
Zong Shaoqing appeared just as he usually did, his purple pupils flitting between Qing Pu and Fa Xiaoyi as if neither were significant to him.
Not many had seen Qing Pu.
Besides Yue Jinghua, Zong Shaoqing was also one of those few. Both outstanding in looks and talent, the two stood across from each other with Fa Xiaoyi in between, exchanging glances deep and unfathomable as ancient wells.
"Why stop me? You know well that leaving him alive will cause trouble one day," Qing Pu’s phoenix eyes slightly raised, the teardrop mole near the corner like a red butterfly, teeming with endless seduction.
"He cannot die. Have you forgotten? He is her dual cultivation partner. As long as the dual cultivation mark remains, their lives and deaths are deeply interconnected," Zong Shaoqing helplessly spread his hands.
If either Fa Xiaoyi or Yue Jinghua were to die, the survivor, even if not dead, would suffer a great loss of vital energy.
"Moreover, I am following the master’s command to protect his life to facilitate a truce between the Shang Kingdom and the Dragon War Empire," Zong Shaoqing was clueless as to why his master, who usually remained aloof from worldly affairs, would suddenly intervene in the affairs of the Dragon War Empire and Shang Kingdom.
"What if I refuse."
"What if I refuse." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Qing Pu and Zong Shaoqing were both taken aback; the first sentence was said by Fa Xiaoyi, and the second by...
From behind, Yue Jinghua strutted in with Snake-haired Little Gore, utterly opposing Zong Shaoqing’s proposal for reconciliation. She could hardly be more unwilling.
