Ruoshui gave the impression of a celestial maiden, like a delicate beauty in a painting, naturally endowed with looks that could topple a city. She was like golden willows, like fragrant orchids, like pre-rain tea, noble yet cleansing to the spirit, possessing all the beauty to overturn a nation and a city. The Fox Empress was different, her complete opposite. What she possessed was a bewitching, myriad charm.
Recalling that Ruoshui had also suffered a sudden collapse in strength, Ye Chu could not help but frown, wondering if they had used the same method.
With the Fox Empress leading the way, the Heavenly Momentum Grand Array could not stop them at all. They walked out with ease. This made everyone secretly exhale in relief, grateful that they had escaped disaster.
As soon as the Heavenly Feather Crown Prince and Jin Chongyun emerged, their figures rapidly shot away. Despite their interest in the Purple Dragon Emperor Gold, the woman before them was far too strange and terrifying.
They had witnessed with their own eyes how she had fused with the Supreme’s heart. Facing such a figure, they were utterly powerless to shake her. Since they could not obtain it, they might as well leave early. Otherwise, if this woman came to her senses, who knew how she would deal with them.
If this woman wanted to kill them, their chances would be grim!
Seeing the two leave, the Fox Empress paid them no mind. Those rippling, bewitching eyes of hers fell upon Ye Chu. Her alluring red lips parted slightly as she looked at Ye Chu and said, “My name is Bai Qingqing.”
“Ah…”
Ye Chu was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to suddenly say such a thing to him. In a daze, Ye Chu reflexively replied, “It’s a very nice name. Yes, Bai Qingqing…”
“All those in Fox Mountain with pure bloodlines bear the surname Bai. Bai Xin and Bai Rou are also the most orthodox bloodlines of the fox clan. I am a descendant of the Supreme, the sole heir of the Fox Mountain Supreme.” Bai Qingqing said to Ye Chu, “Back then, my ancestor cultivated and attained the Dao in the form of a white fox, bringing my White Fox clan to the pinnacle of all races. But we did not know that my ancestor had buried himself here. No, he did not bury himself here. He only buried his heart here. His true tomb is definitely not so easily entered. This was perhaps deliberately left by my ancestor for the sake of future generations.”
While Ye Chu was surprised that the Fox Empress had such a delicate name as Bai Qingqing, hearing this passage, he could not help but ask, “The Fox Mountain Supreme once shook the world with his might, absolutely extraordinary. Why would his heart be buried here? Logically speaking, it should be kept at your Fox Mountain.”
Bai Qingqing said, “Though a Supreme reigns supreme across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, once they reach that realm, they too have their pursuits. Every Supreme has actually guarded a domain, which is why all races revere them. Though Supremes are powerful, they too are powerless against the passage of time. Which cultivator throughout history has not wished to exist eternally in the world? Batch after batch of people have died on this path, yet not a single person has been able to withstand it, including Supremes.”
“But what does this have to do with Purple Dragon Mountain?” Ye Chu asked the Fox Empress, not understanding.
“You possess Supreme Will. It is rumoured that the Sage of Love harbours a great secret. This secret is not only related to the Domain of Love, but most importantly concerns longevity, concerns divinity.” The Fox Empress looked at Ye Chu and said, “I tell you these things so you will know that in the future, you too must walk this endless road. And in the end, you can only end up like my ancestor, perishing in the passage of time. Even being invincible cannot let you follow your own heart.”
Ye Chu had not reached that realm, so he could not comprehend Bai Qingqing’s words. Ye Chu shrugged and smiled, “I only know to live well in the present. I hope to coexist in this world with those I love for a little longer, and not lose myself to Supreme Will.”
Bai Qingqing smiled. Her smile blossomed, bewitching in countless ways. Ye Chu was entranced by her smile, feeling that this woman’s seductiveness could make one’s very spirit lose itself.
“When you truly have the ability to break through Supreme Will, the power of fate will already be something you cannot resist.” Seeing Ye Chu open his mouth to say something, she continued, “Alright, these things are still distant from you at present. Though you possess Supreme Will, it will be difficult to uncover the Sage of Love’s secret. Perhaps, you will die on the path of cultivation, who knows.”
“Damn it!” Ye Chu could not help wanting to curse, thinking that he was living perfectly fine, why was she cursing him to die for no reason.
“I just didn’t expect that you were a white fox all along. Such a cute appearance, one can’t help but want to pet you a couple of times.” Ye Chu naturally would not forget to retort, the corner of his mouth carrying a smile. He looked at the woman before him with narrowed eyes.
This sentence made Bai Qingqing’s face flush slightly with red. Her unbidden, delicate charm made one’s heart and soul tremble. What man could resist such charm? Ye Chu felt his blood and qi were beyond his control, heat rushing to his lower abdomen, that part of him showing signs of standing tall.
Bai Qingqing recalled how, when she was in her white fox form, Ye Chu had caressed her randomly. Her heart rippled slightly with the memory. But Bai Qingqing was, after all, an extraordinary figure. Even with some unusual feelings, they quickly vanished.
“You possess Chaos Green Qi?” Bai Qingqing asked Ye Chu.
Hearing Bai Qingqing’s words, Ye Chu was not surprised at all. This white fox had followed him, and Ye Chu had once studied why. Back when he discovered that she particularly liked absorbing the aura emitted by Chaos Green Qi, Ye Chu knew what she was after.
Now that Bai Qingqing had spoken plainly, Ye Chu shrugged and said, “I have some!”
“Back then outside the Divine Palace, you did not take away any Chaos Green Qi. How did you obtain it?” Bai Qingqing asked curiously.
Ye Chu shrugged and said, “I once entered the Divine Palace, then accidentally saw some, and took quite a bit.”
Bai Qingqing swept her eyes over Ye Chu. She naturally did not believe Ye Chu’s words. The Divine Palace was what kind of place? Known as one of the forbidden grounds. Few who entered came out alive, let alone having taken Chaos Green Qi. If Ye Chu’s strength had been formidable, it might barely be believable. But back then Ye Chu had not even reached King level. How could she believe this?
Of course, seeing that Ye Chu would not speak the truth, Bai Qingqing did not continue to ask. She continued, “The quality of your Chaos Green Qi is extremely high. This can be seen from the aura your Chaos Green Qi emits. If I am not mistaken, yours should not be Chaos Green Qi, but Chaos Green Essence.”
Ye Chu was stunned, not expecting that Bai Qingqing could even guess this.
Seeing Ye Chu’s silence, Bai Qingqing knew she had guessed correctly. Despite being somewhat prepared, she was still shaken. Compared to Chaos Green Qi, the value of Chaos Green Essence multiplied countless times over. Ye Chu actually possessed such a heaven-defying thing. This was absolutely one of the rarest things in the world, far more precious than immortal materials and the like.
“I wish to make a trade with you.” Bai Qingqing stared at Ye Chu, a few traces of heat in those bewitching eyes.
“Do you want Chaos Green Qi or Chaos Green Essence?” Ye Chu asked Bai Qingqing. If he still did not know what Bai Qingqing was after at this point, he would truly be a fool. Only, for such a precious thing, what could Bai Qingqing offer in exchange?
