Perfect World

Chapter 716: Chapter 716 Ye Qinxian
 

“You… what is your background?” Shi Hao asked.

“I already told you, I come from Immortal Village. Who do you think I am? My lifespan is as long as the heavens and earth, shining alongside the sun and the moon,” said the woman in the snow-white garment, quite narcissistic.

Shi Hao glanced at her sideways. He estimated their respective strengths and couldn’t quite gauge her depth. Otherwise, he really wanted to make a move.

“Looking at me sideways, are you provoking me? Want to be utterly defeated?” The woman in the snow-white garment took light steps, glowing all over, staring at Shi Hao with ill intentions.

Shi Hao was speechless, finding himself actually being threatened!

“I just want to understand the situation, I mean no harm. Who are you really?” Shi Hao glanced at a broken cocoon on the ground.

The woman in the snow-white garment laughed immediately and said, “You thought I came out of this cocoon? That’s an insult to my dignity.”

With that said, she took out a Jade Vase in which there was a peculiar Archaic Demon Butterfly, two inches long, glittering brightly, very much resembling a Qilin!

“Really lucky, after searching all over the world, I finally caught a Bug King that could possibly evolve into a Bug Emperor.” She was very pleased and turned it over and over to inspect it.

Shi Hao was startled. Only from the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm did he come to understand what a so-called Bug Emperor was. That Minor Thousand World had Bug Kings, but he had never seen one.

The one the woman caught could evolve into a Bug Emperor?

“Are you sure?” Shi Hao was skeptical since he heard that once it becomes a Bug Emperor, it would exhibit all sorts of mind-blowing abilities.

“Of course, hehe, this is no ordinary creature; it’s a legendary Qilin Bug, which appears only once in hundreds of generations; a legendary treasure insect. Once it transforms into a Bug Emperor, not only will its combat power skyrocket, but it also has the Divine Sense to seek out the supreme Immortal Material, which is invaluable and rare.”

Obviously, the young woman in the snow-white garment was very happy, teasing the divine insect in the Jade Coffin, in a very good mood.

“How powerful is it now?” Shi Hao was also curious and wanted to know how extraordinary the Qilin Bug was.

“At the moment, it can eat Venerable-level weapons.” As she spoke, the woman in the snow-white garment took out a green gold Heavenly Halberd, shrank it, and threw it into the vase.

Crack!

Under Shi Hao’s astonished gaze, the purple-glowing Qilin Bug bit through the weapon and began devouring it hungrily.

“It eats Venerable weapons?” He was quite taken aback!

“It enjoys any sentient treasure material. Otherwise, how would it search for supreme Immortal Material in the future?” The woman in the snow-white garment rolled her eyes at him, calling it lucky.

After admiring the divine insect, she put away the Jade Vase, which was covered in characters, looked at Shi Hao, her beautiful eyes blinking as if she were staring at prey, and circled around him once.

“You… what are you trying to do?” Shi Hao felt very uneasy, being scrutinized like this—the woman was very mysterious, her realm was impenetrable, and it was hard to say how strong she was.

“You’re not bad, I’ve decided…” The woman nodded in satisfaction and paused slightly.

“I’m not a casual person!” Shi Hao spoke righteously, then added in a lower voice: “I need time to consider.”

“Nonsense!” The woman in the snow-white garment almost gave him a knock on the head, her beautiful and spirited eyes filled with interwoven symbols, and her Divine Radiance was intimidating.

Shi Hao was shocked. This woman was truly fearsome, he vaguely felt that it was the rudimentary form of the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, already activated!

This ability has nothing to do with the realm and is not just possessed by those with profound cultivation. Therefore, even the Sect Hierarchs envy it as it depends on the individual and is rare in the world.

“I’ve decided, reluctantly, to take you as my follower.” Her skirt fluttered, her graceful body gleaming, flowing with treasure brilliance, looking ethereal.

But, her words made Shi Hao want to hit her—how was this person more annoying than he was?

“I’ve come out now, I cannot do everything myself, I always need someone to help me handle things.” She murmured softly, oblivious to others, seemingly pondering some major issues.

“You’re so busy, are you going to comprehend the Dao in Immortal Hall, or are you going to discuss the law with the War Emperor?” Shi Hao teased.

The woman in the snow-white garment widened her eyes and said, “Eh, how did you know? I just took a trip to the Immortal Hall, but that place is really boring, the so-called Ancient Immortal Bronze Hall is dirty and covered in green rust.”

“Being a woman, you’re too pretty, yet you like to boast!” Shi Hao really didn’t know what to say.

“Just keep the first half of the sentence, the second half can be completely ignored!” she corrected seriously.

Shi Hao: “…”

He admitted that the woman was indeed stunning. When they first met, he was slightly distracted, somewhat bewildered, her beauty nearly dreamlike.

However, as he got to know her, he discovered her multiple facets: narcissistic, cunning, boastful, and also extremely powerful, very different in action and stillness.

“If there’s nothing else, I shall leave,” Shi Hao bid farewell, feeling that if he stayed any longer, he might be at a disadvantage, this woman was enchanting!

“Are you going to the Celestials Clan? That girl outside looks a bit extraordinary; perhaps she got the Heavenly Destiny Stone?” The woman in the snow-white garment said, her bright, animated eyes sparkling.

Thereafter, the so-called supremely independent, ethereal demeanor completely vanished, completely different from when Shi Hao first met her.

“Fortune ah, if I get her, the Heavenly Destiny Stone will be mine, definitely a good thing,” she murmured to herself, looking towards the restricted area, her eyes full of symbols blazing intensely, the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye manifesting, shooting out two golden beams, exceptionally brilliant!

“Don’t mess around, the old Celestials may not have gone far yet,” Shi Hao was shocked, thus reminding and warning her.

“Psh, he and the War Emperor already fled ages ago. It’s already impressive enough that they came out to fight at all, so they better quickly hibernate to prevent their vitality from completely depleting and becoming dessicated,” the girl in the snowy dress said nonchalantly.

However, she soon murmured again, “Oh well, I will be able to find this type of stone sooner or later, I won’t make it hard for her this time, after all, I still have to meet the elder Celestial, it’s not good to be disrespectful.”

Shi Hao was completely speechless, none of the girl’s words were believable, she really liked to brag!

“Alright, you can leave now, as one of my people, you can use my name when you’re bullied,” she waved her hand, signaling Shi Hao to leave.

“Can you stop bragging?” Shi Hao rolled his eyes and said, “Besides, who are you anyway, how can I mention your name?”

He soon regretted asking that question, as the girl started falling in love with herself again.

“Ah, it’s troubling, getting a follower is so demanding. If it were two years earlier, back when my youthful edges were not yet dulled, I would have definitely beaten you up first.”

Shi Hao could only stare blankly, finally meeting someone even more arrogant than him.

“Remember this, my name is Ye Qinxian. If anyone tries to give you trouble, just mention my name and you’ll be safe,” the snowy dress girl said, before waving her hand for him to leave.

Shi Hao didn’t want to stay a moment longer, if not for considering that their strength might truly have a “gap”, he would have certainly pounced forward to suppress the snowy dress girl.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, don’t just recklessly use my name unless you’re facing people like the elder Celestial or the War Emperor,” Ye Qinxian seriously added.

Shi Hao stumbled, nearly falling from the White Jade Bridge that led through the central restricted area, murmuring to himself, “From now on… I will never brag again!”

After leaving the center of the battlefield, Shi Hao found Yun Xi a hundred miles away and joined her.

“What’s in that restricted area?” Yun Xi asked. She had been startled because suddenly two golden beams of light had shot from that direction.

“Nothing much, just some broken rules, the Order Divine Chains might have been in chaos just now,” Shi Hao said, not wanting to mention the snowy dress girl because he had been quite embarrassed earlier.

The distant horn sounds were still echoing, dull yet powerful like an ancient beast roaring, transmitting from the ninth level of heaven, reverberating across the entire Scarlet Plains.

“You should go back,” Shi Hao said, looking at the girl in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi’s expression froze. This young man had protected her, traversing tens of thousands of miles across the Scarlet Plains with her. If not for him, she would have likely been captured or perished.

“Aren’t you coming to Heavenly Province with me?” she asked with slightly parted red lips, wishing Shi Hao would visit the Celestials Clan.

“Travels together end with a parting; there will be a day we meet again. This time I will not go with you,” Shi Hao said, reluctant to visit the Celestials Clan.

“But it’s very dangerous right now. You killed the War King and stirred up great trouble. The Zhan Tribe won’t let this go; you should come back with me to my clan,” Yun Xi urged.

Shi Hao shook his head; if he went to the Celestials Clan and stayed too long, his identity would most likely be exposed. That place had a Celestial God, and even an elder Celestial who had created a glorious Primordial myth.

“Thank you, if it wasn’t for you, I would have probably died already,” Yun Xi expressed her gratitude.

“Let’s go, I’ll escort you to a safe area. Maybe one day I will visit the Celestials Clan, and then you can properly host me,” Shi Hao said with a smile.

Watching his carefree demeanor and bright smile, Yun Xi sighed lightly and then nodded, “Just be very careful, the Zhan Tribe is terrifying.”

Shi Hao used the Ground Shrinking Technique, quickly leaving the center of the battlefield, and soon he encountered a group of people from the Celestials Clan.

“Goodbye!”

With that, he turned around, his figure blurring on the horizon as he rapidly departed.

Finally, when he reached an uninhabited area, he further used the Kun Peng’s technique, leaving behind an illusionary trace as he vanished from the area.

Shi Hao went into hiding; he knew well that both the Celestials Clan and the Zhan Tribe had Celestial God masters still on this plain, so he hid underground, concealing all traces of life, waiting for the storm to pass.

However, he miscalculated as just two days later, intense energy fluctuations transmitted from the soil, and the ground was split apart!

Alarmed, he fled rapidly, using his powers to cover dozens of miles in an instant, trying to evade the approaching figures.

Unfortunately, a massive force enveloped him, restraining him, wrapped in a brilliant display of Order Divine Chains, he was pulled from under the ground.

Divine Chains of a Celestial God!

Shi Hao was startled; he could confirm that a Celestial God had caught him and brought him above ground.

“Young friend, why leave without a word?” A middle-aged man stood tall and dignified, with deep eyes as if he could see through people’s hearts.

Clothed in purple, he was guarded by numerous Celestial God chains around him, radiant and translucent, shining brilliantly intertwined in every inch of the void surrounding him.

This was a Celestial God from the Celestials Clan.

“I want to know, how did you find me?” Shi Hao asked, unafraid, just calmly.

“You consumed a Heavenly Pill; as long as you’re not too far, we can find you within a short period,” the middle-aged man smiled.

Shi Hao became speechless, realizing the problem stemmed from there.

“Young friend, don’t worry, I mean no harm. I just want to invite you to visit our clan, to thank you for saving Yun Xi,” this Celestial God released the chains. (To be continued.
