The Saintess Has A Showdown 420

Chapter 420: The Scorpion’s Encounter, Yu Jinfei, the Crimson Hellscale!!!

How could Yu Jinfei, one of the Seven Concubines, be in the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring…?

The moment it saw the massive, crimson, cracked eye, the Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion knew its identity.

An overwhelming pressure, a crushing weight on its very soul, its normally invincible body, tempered through countless trials, now feeling as fragile as tofu.

The scorpion froze, its body trembling uncontrollably, its armor bristling, its mind reeling.

The Seven Concubines, supreme beings, standing at the apex of the spirit world.

Although Yu Jinfei had been injured by Wanfu Caifeng, the Boom Calamity, it was still a formidable opponent.

Even powerful beings like the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine and the Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake had spent years preparing, honing their skills, just for a chance to defeat the weakened Yu Jinfei.

Now, under the gaze of this massive, crimson eye, the scorpion struggled to regain its composure, its breath coming in ragged gasps.

As its aura stabilized, it cautiously observed Yu Jinfei.

Unlike the invincible White Moon Lord, the breathtaking Snow Monarch, the terrifying Dark Night Concubine, the serene Illusion Sea Concubine, the flawless Peach Blossom Concubine, or the radiant Weaver of the Sun, Yu Jinfei seemed… unremarkable, its achievements few, its name often forgotten even by those obsessed with ranking the Seven Concubines.

The records stated that Yu Jinfei, before becoming a Concubine, had been a powerful, titled legendary being, but among the Seven Concubines, it was considered average, simply because it was a support type.

Yu Jinfei, the Crimson Hellscale, a support-type spirit beast among the Seven Concubines…

After a moment of silent contemplation, the scorpion quietly retreated, concealing itself behind the vines.

Yu Jinfei’s aura was far weaker than the Ten Prison Flowers’. If they couldn’t see it, then Yu Jinfei certainly couldn’t either.

[Come in. I can see you.]

“…”
“…”

The scorpion froze, hearing the voice in its mind, then, after a moment of hesitation, entered.

The massive, crimson, cracked eye, still terrifying, loomed before it, sending a shiver down its spine.

Then, the eye’s iris, like a mountain range of scales, shifted slightly, and a weary, ancient female voice echoed,

[Surprised I can see you?]

“Mm…” The scorpion hummed in response, its confusion evident.

It couldn’t understand how a being like this, one of the Seven Concubines, could see a lowly Saint-rank spirit beast.

After a long silence, Yu Jinfei chuckled, a self-deprecating sound.

[Because I’m weak…]

[Even weaker than you. After all, I’m a support type. My growth potential and the power of my techniques were limited from the moment I was born.]

[I know my own insignificance, my own weakness. That’s why I can even see the smallest, most insignificant creatures.]

“Bullshit! You’re not weak! Otherwise, you wouldn’t be one of the Seven Concubines!”

“Even as a support type, you’re still one of the strongest in the spirit world! Far stronger than a Saint-rank like me!!!”

“No matter how hard I train, how much I evolve, I’ll never reach your level!!!”

The scorpion’s sudden outburst startled Yu Jinfei, its aura flickering, a hint of… sadness.

[It doesn’t matter. I’ve reached my limit as a support type. I can no longer grow stronger. But you… you still have so much potential. You can still evolve.]

“What good is evolution? A Saint-rank can never become a legendary being!”

“Who told you that?”

“…”
“…”

Suddenly, a soft female voice, and the scorpion turned, startled.

A beautiful, red-haired woman in a revealing dress stood before it, her alluring figure and captivating face unlike anything it had ever seen.

Her face, pale as if she had just given birth, her expression vulnerable, and behind her, a crimson, segmented scorpion tail…

Yu Jinfei, the Crimson Hellscale… also a scorpion?!

Yu Jinfei walked around the scorpion woman and gently rested her chin on its shoulder.

“You say a Saint-rank can never become a legendary being? Then have you considered… what you might become, after consuming a Lost Realm core?”

“And when you, a Saint-rank, break through to the Sun and Moon Realm, shattering the very limits of your being, what will you become?”

“Or perhaps, after passing through the Gate of the Waning Moon, the only consumable spirit beast in the spirit world, what will you become?”

“And when you, a Saint-rank, defeat a legendary being and earn a title, are you still just a Saint-rank…?”

Hearing the soft, seductive voice, the scorpion woman’s eyes widened, then narrowed, a dismissive look.

“That all sounds very nice, but it’s fundamentally wrong!”

“A Saint-rank spirit beast can never defeat a legendary being. That’s why they’re called Saint-ranks!!!”

Slurp~~

The red-haired woman suddenly licked the scorpion woman’s delicate cheek, sending a shiver down its spine, a surge of anger.

But it needed to memorize the path to the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring before it could… expire. It couldn’t jeopardize its mission.

Even if Yu Jinfei humiliated and abused it, it had to endure…

Just then, the red-haired woman smiled, a breathtakingly beautiful, seductive smile that stunned the scorpion.

“You’re right. A Saint-rank spirit beast cannot defeat a legendary being.”

As Yu Jinfei spoke, her crimson scorpion tail, moving at a speed the Inverted Crystal Dual-Bladed Tyrant Scorpion couldn’t even perceive, shot out, piercing its throat, through its flesh, and into its core.

The scorpion woman convulsed violently, its body trembling, white foam erupting from its mouth, its eyes rolling back, a look of agony.

A few seconds later, it lashed out with its own tail, piercing Yu Jinfei’s mouth, only to have it caught between the red-haired woman’s sharp teeth, unable to move, its hardest part unable to even pierce its opponent’s softest, the difference in their power vast and immeasurable.

After a long, tense struggle, the scorpion woman collapsed, its body weak and limp, its core filled with a crimson, poisonous spirit energy.

As it lost consciousness, it heard Yu Jinfei’s soft whisper,

“Its body… will be returned to its birthplace.”
