Chapter 009: Rebirth
Hmm.
I am happy, I like it
The face of the Jade Butterfly changed slightly, as the stunningly beautiful Six-Winged Sun Spirit gracefully flapped its wings up and down, lifting and lowering to retrieve Xia Qianqian's body from the branches.
Xia Qianqian's eyes, which had lost focus, eventually turned grayish-white, and her consciousness began to blur. In a daze, she felt as if she had completely withered away, weak and powerless, collapsing to the ground like a puddle of mud, and then
"Jade Butterfly, you still have such a wicked sense of humor" A languid voice, in the eerie night, sounds almost seductive.
With a swift motion of the knife, Xia Qianqian's left arm was immediately severed from her body, rolling on the ground for two turns before the severed end came to rest, stained with a few withered fallen leaves.
It is truly unfortunate to die in such a manner, drained of blood by a vampire and turned into a desiccated corpse. It is unacceptable; she has not yet had the chance to beat Zhang Yueyue into a state of disfigurement!
Not bad, hanging here will soon attract the demon beasts to devour it, and after destroying the body and erasing all traces, who would know it was me!" Clapping her hands, Zhang Yueyue set off on her journey in a good mood, humming a tune from her hometown.
Master, you can't really be interested in a girl who has neither a chest nor a backside, can you?" The Jade Butterfly suddenly rushed over, pointing at Xia Qianqian's body and speaking with utter disdain
The jade butterfly's eyes brightened: "Master, are you really planning to save her?"
"Murder and treasure hunting? Well done, draining all the essence means that even if one wants to save them, it would be impossible to revive them." Xuan Yuan Shilan's lips curled into a faint smile, "Unfortunately, even the heavens do not dare to compete with me for lives, let alone something as trivial as merely losing their essence."
It turns out that the master is afraid of being blamed by the young master! The jade king butterfly desperately suppresses its laughter
"Is she worthy? Who is my Jade King Butterfly, yet so high and mighty, looking down upon the world..." The voice of the Jade King Butterfly grew softer, hastily changing the subject, "The young master has been killed. Should I go and eliminate that little girl who knows nothing of the world?"
The rapid backflow of blood throughout her body, coupled with the immense impact as it passed through the heart, caused Xia Qianqian to begin feeling dizzy and lightheaded
It was confirmed that the storage bracelet could not be removed from Xia Qianqian's body, and Zhang Yueyue could only grit her teeth and grip the dagger once more
The pine forest finally fell silent, yet the strong scent of blood and the aura of death continued to spread with the wind. Suddenly, a rustling sound emerged, and a red-eyed demon rabbit sprang out from the thicket.
Xuan Yuan Shilan cast a sidelong glance at the Jade King Butterfly, then walked over and crouched down in front of Xia Qianqian's corpse. They had been apart for only a few hours, yet the lively little disciple he had seen again had now turned into a desiccated corpse
"Truly grotesque, I never expected you to be like a mosquito, sucking blood..." Xia Qianqian felt as if the entire world was swaying before her eyes, and she was being devoured by the boundless darkness.
Xuan Yuan Shilan's lips slowly curled up: "She will take revenge herself. If I act rashly, she will definitely blame and criticize me in the future"
What? The jade butterfly dug into its ear, thinking it had misheard. Wasn't the master very fond of this little child? Why didn't they help her take revenge?
Master, have you given the Sacred Ancestor's Divine Needle to this girl?
"Master, it must be your bad taste!" After the jade king butterfly swallowed the rabbit demon whole, it smacked its lips, feeling unsatisfied, "At such an old age, you could be someone else's ancestor..." Before it could finish speaking, it noticed that the master was already standing under the tree with his hands clasped behind his back
The originally unremarkable dark green patterns on the stone are now emitting a faint glow, forming concentric circles resembling a talisman array. At the center of the array, there appears a flawless white light, almost imperceptible, resembling an ordinary needle stone.
The Jade Butterfly roared in exasperation: "Master, has your head been kissed by a pig? That is the top treasure on the Thousand and Ten Thousand Reverse Heaven Mystic Treasure Ranking, a supreme artifact that even Great Ascension cultivators are eager to fight over!"
Hanging from the branch is the lifeless body of Xia Qianqian. Beneath the tree is the sinister face of Xuanyuan Shilan, squinting his eyes.
"Master, you are bullying me again!" The Jade King Butterfly was furious, "Even if the master wants to take this girl as a disciple, it is inappropriate to give her the Sacred Ancestor Yan Tian Needle. A thousand years ago, the master sealed the Sacred Ancestor Yan Tian Needle to conceal his whereabouts, and now to bring it into the world again, isn't that a waste of previous efforts?"
"How could it not be taken down?" Suddenly, Zhang Yueyue's exquisite features turned a pig's belly color due to anger
"Hmph, just like that, it's completely dead." Zhang Yueyue flicked her tongue over her lips, licking away the bloody sweetness, and then kicked Xia Qianqian's withered corpse a few times with force.
"Why do I need to save her? Hasn't she already begun to save herself!" Xuan Yuan Shilan straightened up and casually leaned against a pine tree. The moonlight cast down upon him, and his pure white robe fluttered gently in the wind, resembling a celestial being fallen to the mortal realm
The jade butterfly looked down in confusion: under the moonlight, the body of Xia Qianqian, lying flat on the ground, began to undergo subtle changes. The originally emaciated body unexpectedly started to swell, and her pale cheeks seemed to be tinged with a faint blush
Haha, once I become a Nascent Soul cultivator, all the treasures here will belong to me!" Zhang Yueyue carefully tucked the storage bracelet close to her body, then randomly kicked Xia Qian a few times, "Hmph, is having a master really that impressive? You were still killed by me.
"How is this possible? She is just an ordinary person without even a spiritual root! Even if she possesses the innate fire, hasn't it yet been activated?" The Jade King Butterfly exclaimed, her gaze inadvertently sliding down to the area above Xia Qianqian's chest.
There, quietly resting, was a goose-yellow stone the size of a quail egg
As soon as it appeared, it rushed straight towards Sun Jinjian's corpse, and the body that had jumped into the air suddenly came to a halt, pierced through the chest by a sharp claw. The red-eyed demon rabbit did not have time to let out a scream before it inexplicably became a soul under the claw.
Uh... Xia Qianqian's eyes, like the waters of a lake, suddenly tightened, and her heart erupted with an unprecedented violent thumping, as if it were about to explode
Before leaving, Zhang Yueyue cast a cold glance at Xia Qianqian's corpse and suddenly kicked the withered body of Xia Qianqian, sending it flying onto a tree branch
Master, are you really planning to save her? She's just a little disciple; you can take her in and then abandon her! Knowing the depths of the master's cunning nature, the Jade Butterfly does not believe that the master took Xia Qianqian as a disciple out of compassion
Well, you kissed me
Xuan Yuan Shilan suddenly turned to look at him, and the Jade King Butterfly immediately stiffened in terror, its back straightening. Then, the enchanting Radiant Six-Winged Butterfly suddenly transformed into a dazzling array of two hundred thousand colors, enough to overshadow the heavens and the earth, and vanished into thin air
No need
Zhang Yueyue picked up the severed arm, and this time she easily removed the storage bracelet.
Xuan Yuan Shilan suddenly raised her half-closed eyes and calmly looked at the Jade King Butterfly, saying: "The Jade King Butterfly, she is my only disciple and also your only young master"
Having vented her frustrations, Zhang Yueyue then slowly crouched down and reached out to take the storage bracelet from Xia Qianqian's left wrist
