Chapter 462: Return to Water Moon Shadow
As the surging tides of water and moonlight receded, the encroaching darkness faded, and the world, no longer submerged, returned. A lone figure, a blue-haired woman in a transparent bathrobe, stood at the center of the battlefield.
The Dream Calamity, the Blood-Red Nightmare, its invincible, violent presence, had vanished, only Shui Yuefei’s pure, ethereal spirit energy remained, permeating the countless realms.
At this moment, as the woman’s long, flowing, water-blue hair danced in the wind, her form radiant, her aura awe-inspiring, no one dared to look directly at her.
The Blood-Red Nightmare, routed!
The Crimson Queen, dead!
The Cold Deer King, self-destructed!
Wu Yan Luelan, captured!
Even those ancient, terrifying beings had been defeated by Shui Yuefei.
Surely, after this battle, Shui Yuefei’s ranking on the Sun and Moon Ranking would soar…
“Water Moon Concubine, we must return to the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring and report. Farewell.”
The Winter Greeting Death Lotus, its massive form, a stark contrast to Shui Yuefei’s delicate figure, approached cautiously, extending a tentacle towards the Purgatory Crimson Halberd.
Although the Purgatory Crimson Halberd’s fusion with the Great Throat Noble Wasabi had been surprisingly effective, the Second Sister belonged to the Peach Blossom Concubine. It couldn’t be left with Shui Yuefei.
Gong Lianyue glanced at the scorpion, which was holding the small, maroon sunflower, the Great Throat Noble Wasabi, firmly in its grasp, preventing its escape.
Strangely, the Great Throat Noble Wasabi, despite its powerful aura, offered no resistance, as if they had some sort of understanding.
After a brief mental exchange, Gong Lianyue’s teardrop eyes narrowed.
“So you’ve made your decision. Very well. Go. I’ll explain things to the Peach Blossom Concubine.”
“And if you encounter any difficulties, just send a message. And remember to visit at least once every six months.”
“…”
“…”
Wait, what were they talking about? Were they planning to just take Second Sister?
As the Winter Greeting Death Lotus watched, its expression puzzled, the crimson scorpion woman’s face softened, a flicker of regret, then its tail slammed into the ground.
Swish!!!
In a flash, the Purgatory Crimson Halberd and the Great Throat Noble Wasabi vanished, a sonic boom, a wave of spirit energy, rippling outwards.
A crimson streak, piercing through countless realms, disappeared from sight.
“No! Second Sister!!!” The Winter Greeting Death Lotus wailed, staring at the fading aura, its expression as if its lover had just been taken away.
“Stop your dramatics. It’s only for a few years. They’ll be back once the situation in the Dust Refining Giant Remains stabilizes.”
“Oh…”
Hearing Shui Yuefei’s casual tone, the Winter Greeting Death Lotus, its face flushed with embarrassment, lowered its head. So it was just going to restore order.
The Dust Refining Giant Remains, recently removed from the Ten Sacred Domains, its ruler, Yu Jinfei, dead, the Seven Killing Blades almost completely annihilated… it was said to be in chaos, likely to be downgraded to a first-tier overlord realm soon.
The Purgatory Crimson Halberd, inheriting Yu Jinfei’s will, its power amplified by its fusion with the Great Throat Noble Wasabi, now capable of even challenging the Cold Deer King, and with its ability to act independently of its master, was the perfect choice to restore order in the Dust Refining Giant Remains, fulfilling Yu Jinfei’s final wish for a peaceful resting place.
And a few years, for a legendary being, was nothing, barely enough time to raise a few batches of offspring.
The Peach Blossom Concubine wouldn’t object to this.
Watching the scorpion disappear, Gong Lianyue turned to the Winter Greeting Death Lotus.
“You’re water-attribute, right? Want to come with me? It’s better than playing around in that perverted Flower Ring all day.”
What “playing around”? Procreation was a plant’s natural instinct! The Winter Greeting Death Lotus was slightly offended, but its eyes lit up with interest.
The flowers and plants of the Myriad Spirit Flower Ring were getting a bit repetitive. Finding a few different partners in the Sea Region would be a welcome change, and she could also have the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower all to herself!!!
And so, the Winter Greeting Death Lotus agreed. Its massive, tentacled form shrunk, transforming into a small, delicate, ice-blue lotus flower that climbed onto the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower’s ear and settled down.
Legendary beings, their true forms often colossal, could become incredibly small if they wanted to.
The scorpion had taken the Great Throat Noble Wasabi. And now Gong Lianyue had also acquired the Winter Greeting Death Lotus.
Just as she was about to return to the Sea Region, satisfied, her attention was drawn to a black-haired woman approaching hesitantly, a shy expression on her face.
One of the Ten Palace Ghost Concubines from the Black Tide Ancient City. It seemed she had something to say.
“What is it?” Gong Lianyue asked calmly, turning to face her.
This time, she wouldn’t jump to conclusions, having learned her lesson with the Jade Concubine.
Heh, a spirit beast’s wife was still a wife… the result was the same!
The delicate black-haired woman blushed, covering her mouth with her sleeve, fidgeting nervously.
“Um, I’m Ye Hunluo, the Ninth Ghost Concubine of the Ten Palace Ghost Concubines. I’m your fan. Could I… become your… wife?”
“…”
“…”
“?”
Gong Lianyue blinked, a question mark appearing above her head.
Seriously? She couldn’t see any connection to the water or moon attributes. A random contract would only taint their pure spirit energy.
The Purgatory Crimson Halberd’s null attribute and the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower’s plant attribute were compatible with her water-moon lineage, but this creature… it had a dark attribute, which clashed with moonlight.
With such conflicting attributes, it shouldn’t feel any attraction, perhaps even revulsion. And yet, its expression was one of adoration, a deep, almost spiritual reverence.
Gong Lianyue felt both flattered and a little scared. Was this… true love…?
To inspire such devotion in a legendary being… She was quite charming, it seemed.
However, she still couldn’t accept.
“I’m sorry, I’m already engaged.”
With a polite refusal, Shui Yuefei’s body was enveloped in a white mist and vanished, leaving the disappointed Ye Hunluo standing there, sighing.
At the same time, carried by the White-Browed Concubine’s spirit energy, Gong Lianyue, her speed incredible, streaked across the spirit world, the familiar aura of the Sea Region approaching.
No, it should be called Water Moon Shadow now.
Shui Yuefei, returning to Water Moon Shadow!!!
