Chapter 439: Marriage
–Ten Sacred Domains, Myriad Spirit Flower Ring.
It had been more than ten days since Yu Jinfei’s death. As punishment for disrupting the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring, both the Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake and the Six-Tailed Phoenixes were forced to participate in the reconstruction efforts.
The chaotic battle between legendary beings had ended, and calm had returned to the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring, the flowers and grasses resuming their usual activities of propagation and other leisurely pursuits.
The tense standoff had been resolved by the Sorrowful Saintess’s arrogant declaration, sacrificing herself to the tender mercies of the Peach Blossom Concubine.
The Six-Tailed Phoenixes, recalling this, couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.
However, at this moment, the blue-haired woman in the transparent bathrobe, lounging comfortably in the massive, floral cradle high above, looked down at the toiling Six-Tailed Phoenixes with amusement.
They were all technically prisoners here, and yet the Six-Tailed Phoenixes were working, while she sipped flower nectar tea.
Pollen and mist drifted through the air, the dreamlike vines of the cradle swaying gently.
Vines reaching towards the sky, massive trees with roots that burrowed deep into the earth. This was the heart of the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring, the Central Cradle!
Taking a sip of the sweet, fragrant tea, Gong Lianyue glanced at the Peach Blossom Concubine, which was sitting across from her, stroking the little fox in its lap, a gentle, almost motherly smile on its face.
She had thought she was doomed, but the Peach Blossom Concubine hadn’t been as aggressive as she had feared.
[You can all leave after she becomes one of the Ten Prison Flowers~] the Peach Blossom Concubine said, sensing the blue-haired girl’s questioning gaze.
The Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower’s official induction as the Third Flower Lord was in a week. After that, Gong Lianyue could take the little fox and return to the Sea Region.
“And… that… about the seven or eight hundred… children…?”
[Heh, I have no interest in wasting my time on a human. Although you might be considered attractive by most, I value more than just appearance and figure. Skill is also important.]
[And you, inexperienced… could you possibly satisfy me?]
Sensing the Peach Blossom Concubine’s disdain, the blue-haired woman lowered her head, her mind, however, filled with images of dominating the Peach Blossom Concubine.
That damned Peach Blossom Concubine, daring to look down on her. One day, she would make it beg for mercy!
Gong Lianyue took a sip of tea, masking her thoughts.
After all, if the Peach Blossom Concubine sensed her fantasies, she would likely be the one begging for mercy.
As one of the Seven Concubines, having been inconvenienced… the Peach Blossom Concubine couldn’t possibly be happy.
Even if it had once been friends with Wanfu Caifeng, it wouldn’t spare these intruders. Not attacking them personally was already an act of mercy.
However, Gong Lianyue’s earlier, arrogant demand had inadvertently given the Peach Blossom Concubine a reason to postpone their interaction.
A fortunate coincidence, allowing them to leave unharmed.
After some idle chatter with the Peach Blossom Concubine, Gong Lianyue, carrying the little fox, retired to her quarters.
This trip to the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring, although dangerous, had been quite fruitful.
[Nether Spring Narcissus]
[Nether Princess Bai Xue]
[Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa]
[Ice Forged Decapitator]
[Purgatory Crimson Halberd]
[White-Browed Concubine]
[Tyrant Demon Seed]
[Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower]
Gong Lianyue had now formally contracted with eight spirit beasts, and had Lord Attendant contracts with the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer, the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, and Hong Xiaoqianyu.
She had reached the level of a high-ranking, titled legendary being. And with the little fox and the scorpion’s evolution, she could even defeat a Setting Sun Stage legendary being.
Yin Kui and the Gluttonous Concubine of the Seven Killing Blades had been annihilated.
Oof!
Lost in thought, Gong Lianyue, not noticing the figure before her, bumped into its soft, ample bosom and stumbled, almost falling.
As she looked up, she saw a beautiful woman in a revealing, martial arts-style cheongsam, her eyes closed, as if blind. The Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake!
The Jade Concubine’s alluring figure, its long, slender legs partially exposed beneath the high-cut slits of its black dress, its curves accentuated by the tight-fitting fabric, a sight that could make one’s nose bleed.
The Martial Empress of the Waterfall Lake Wonderland, leader of the Ten Palace Ghost Concubines of the Black Tide Ancient City, had helped Gong Lianyue during her battle against the Snow Monarch in the Sea Region Ranking Battle. They had a history.
And now, its mother, the Nether Peach, the Martial Concubine, having returned to the Black Tide Ancient City, had left it here, to be punished alongside the Six-Tailed Phoenixes by the Peach Blossom Concubine.
“So… you’re back from… brick-laying duty…?” Gong Lianyue asked awkwardly.
“Mm~~~”
To Gong Lianyue’s surprise, the usually cold and aloof Jade Concubine blushed, its eyelashes fluttering, its demeanor strangely shy and seductive.
Wait, was it… attracted to her?
The ever-perceptive Water Moon Concubine instantly understood.
She was about to break through to the Star Shattering Stage, which would grant her another contract slot, and her Dual Soul Body, thanks to the Galaxy of Stars phenomenon, now had no limit on the number of spirit beasts she could summon.
She wasn’t going to refuse any offers, especially from a powerful being like the Jade Concubine.
However, she couldn’t understand what had sparked the Jade Concubine’s interest.
Although she was considered beautiful among humans, the Jade Concubine and the Ice Antelope Grand Concubine were far more alluring, their attire more revealing.
The spirit world was full of beautiful legendary beings. Why her?
As expected, the Jade Concubine, after handing her a purple envelope, its face flushed crimson, quickly excused itself. It was clearly a love letter.
Watching the black-haired woman leave, Gong Lianyue, a mix of amusement and anticipation, opened the letter.
Although she received countless love letters every day at the Sea Concubine Palace, this was her first from a legendary being. She couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
Wait, hadn’t the Nether Peach, the Martial Concubine, claimed to be better than the Dark Night Concubine in… certain activities…?
Then the Jade Concubine, having inherited its combat abilities, must also be quite skilled. And with the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer. She would need to start taking some supplements…
Gong Lianyue, a smug smile, opened the letter, then froze, her expression turning to shock.
[Nether Spring Sister, will you marry me? The wedding will be held in three months at the Black Tide Ancient City. – Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake]
