“Where are you taking me!”
Ye Chu asked, looking at the other party while treating his wounds. His gaze fell on Ruoshui’s unadorned, pure, and ethereal face. He watched her long hair cascading down to her waist, faintly emitting a layer of gloss that set off her translucent, fair skin, making her look as if she were in a dream. Especially those eyes, as if they had gathered all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, deep like a clear spring, crystal clear and pure. That perfect and peerless face was still as sharp as a thorn, piercing Ye Chu’s heart and making it beat wildly.
Ruoshui walked calmly with the wind. Her hair, cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders, danced in the breeze. Paired with her pure white skirt fluttering, it presented infinite beauty and a delicate, perfectly proportioned figure. It invisibly rendered a sense of holiness and inviolability.
In today’s world, among all the women Ye Chu had seen, only Lin Shixin and Bai Qingqing could compare with Ruoshui’s temperament.
“The Divine Palace!” Ruoshui’s rosy lips parted slightly. The sweet breath she exhaled carried a fragrant scent. Her expression was calm, her jade like body emanating a faint glow, and her tender, fair skin was truly like jade, making it hard for one to look away.
Ye Chu was previously immersed in Ruoshui’s peerless beauty, but her next words nearly made him fall from the void. He stared blankly at the elegant and otherworldly Ruoshui. His gaze shifted away from her full and plump chest, falling instead into her starry, flowing eyes.
“Are you not joking? The Divine Palace is a forbidden land. Are you saying you want to go to the forbidden land?” Ye Chu stared blankly at Ruoshui. He knew Ruoshui was strong, but he did not think she had the strength to enter a forbidden land. When he entered back then, he barely escaped with his life. If it were not for the Black Iron, he would have been dead long ago.
“Have you not been in there before? What is there to be afraid of!” Ruoshui walked side by side with Ye Chu. Her fluttering hair occasionally flew onto Ye Chu’s face, brushing across it and causing a slightly itchy sensation. The fragrance of her hair also drifted into his heart, making his mind wander a bit.
“You know about it too?” Ye Chu was extremely curious and looked at Ruoshui.
Ruoshui’s gaze fell towards Ye Chu’s chest. Although Ruoshui did not do anything, those clear eyes explained everything.
“Is Bai Qingqing by your side because of the Chaos Green Qi?” Ruoshui asked Ye Chu.
Ye Chu was not surprised at all that Ruoshui saw through it at a glance. Reaching Ruoshui’s level, it was normal to see through things with just one look.
As Ye Chu nodded, Ruoshui spoke again, “She actually entered a death seclusion. She truly trusts you. With the help of the Chaos Green Qi, perhaps she will really succeed.”
“What does she want to use the Chaos Green Qi for?” Ye Chu had always been curious. Bai Qingqing, as a descendant of a Supreme Being, had received the Supreme inheritance. No matter how you looked at it, she was an unparalleled figure. Yet she gave up everything to follow him, and all of this was because of the temptation of the Chaos Green Qi. Without sufficient benefits, how would Bai Qingqing do such a thing?
Although the Chaos Green Qi was precious, those Supreme Beings might not truly care that much about it. For Bai Qingqing to put aside her status and follow him, what she sought must be extraordinary.
“She wants to become a Supreme Being!” Ruoshui answered Ye Chu.
“Tsk…” Ye Chu took a deep breath. His hand could not help but touch the direction of his qi sea. Bai Qingqing, transformed into a white fox the size of a finger, was lying there with her eyes closed, completely unaware of the outside world.
But Ye Chu’s heart was deeply shaken. What Bai Qingqing sought was truly defying the heavens. How could one so easily reach the level of a Supreme Being?
“Are you scared?” Ruoshui’s red lips parted slightly, and her sweet fragrance drifted into Ye Chu’s nose. Ye Chu looked at this woman who was perfect to the extreme, his mind rippling with emotions.
“It is not that I am scared. It is just that this woman’s ambition is as high as the heavens. Although the Chaos Green Qi is extraordinary, it is difficult to help someone reach the Supreme level with it,” Ye Chu said. “No matter what secret method she has, wanting to reach the Supreme level with the help of the Chaos Green Qi is quite unrealistic.”
Ruoshui neither agreed nor disagreed with Ye Chu’s words. Instead, she turned to Ye Chu and said, “She is not important. What is important is that you possess the Chaos Green Qi.”
“What do you mean?” Ye Chu did not understand.
“Before, I had not thought about where your Chaos Green Qi came from. It was only later that I realised there is only one place that has the Chaos Green Qi. If I am not mistaken, you must have entered the Divine Palace before,” Ruoshui asked Ye Chu.
Ye Chu nodded, “But what does this have to do with entering the Divine Palace again this time? When I entered back then, I barely escaped with my life and almost did not make it back alive. If I go in again now, I am afraid I will truly be left inside.”
Ye Chu was naturally clear about the terror of the Divine Palace. He could not help but remind Ruoshui, “In the Divine Palace, even if you possess laws, they are already useless. You are very clear about the meaning of the words ‘forbidden land’!”
“Naturally, I understand!” Ruoshui said to Ye Chu. “If it were in the past, I would definitely not dare to go. But now, with the Chaos Green Qi, I can go in and take a look. I do not want to dig out the secrets of the Divine Palace. It is still possible to just go and fetch some things.”
“How confident are you?” Ye Chu asked Ruoshui, not saying much else.
“Fifty percent!” Ruoshui said calmly as always. “With the Chaos Green Qi, there is a fifty percent chance of retreating with a whole body from that place in the Divine Palace.”
Hearing Ruoshui say only fifty percent, Ye Chu frowned slightly. Such a success rate was absolutely unimaginable for other cultivators. But the meaning Ruoshui represented was too great. She was the Master of the Floating Life Palace. If she died in the Divine Palace because of this, then…
Ruoshui seemed to guess what Ye Chu was thinking. She did not explain to Ye Chu, but took him and crossed space. The two figures shot towards the Divine Palace.
…
Outside the Divine Palace, there were already four coffins, with each coffin suppressing a corner. These coffins carried a peerless aura. As the Divine Palace trembled, an extraordinarily peerless aura vibrated out.
“Four!” Ye Chu’s heart shook. He had only seen three before. He just did not know who dug up the fourth one. He was afraid many people had died again.
Ye Chu took a deep breath. Thinking of the people in the coffins, he could not help but stand outside the Divine Palace in a daze. The corpses in the three coffins he had seen were all like the old lunatic. He was afraid the fourth one was the same.
What kind of figure was the old lunatic exactly, to be able to make these bizarre corpses all the same as him? This was simply monstrously unimaginable. Any one of these coffins was an unimaginable thing. Falling in the four directions of the Divine Palace and being related to the forbidden land was by no means ordinary.
Moreover, Ye Chu felt that there were not only these four coffins in the world. He was afraid there were more. Thinking of the Bagua diagram that appeared every time a coffin showed up, Ye Chu could not help but take a deep breath.
“This secret can only be unravelled by the old lunatic!” Ye Chu took a deep breath and looked straight at the simple, grand, and blood stained Divine Palace in front of him, his heart shaking because of it. The Chaos Green Essence in his body was also trembling at this time, faintly connected with the Divine Palace.
“Since the Chaos Green Qi is useful, you stay outside. I will go in alone,” Ye Chu said to Ruoshui.
Ruoshui glanced at Ye Chu. Her clear gaze fell on him, and only after a long while did she speak, “Follow me and do not wander around. Otherwise, I will not care about your life or death!”
