Chapter 334: Do I Look Good Like This?

Fairy Fengya remained silent, her eyes sweeping over the people on the ground, seemingly not intending to engage in much conversation with Ye Wenxin. Ye Wenxin, however, was surprised by Fairy Fengya showing up and asked, “Why did you come in?”

“Your master asked me to protect you,” Fairy Fengya responded indifferently, but her words made Ye Wenxin feel quite uncomfortable.

Ye Wenxin was naturally aware of the grudges between Jin Xiaoqin and Fairy Fengya, but the fact that Jin Xiaoqin would seek out Fairy Fengya for her sake was very odd.

“Your master treats you well,” Fairy Fengya added, seeing the subtle expression on Ye Wenxin’s face.

If Jin Xiaoqin hadn’t requested it of her, Fairy Fengya might not have gone in. She would rather have given Ye Wenxin a stage to showcase herself. However, since Jin Xiaoqin made the request, the significance was completely different.

“Yes, I feel she treats me much better, especially compared to a certain someone.” Ye Wenxin smiled in acceptance. Her gaze began to sweep around, contemplating how to break this illusion. If they proceeded further, they might fall into the strange dream world again.

Fairy Fengya said nothing, and looked around as well. The two remained silent. Without a third person, chatting with Fairy Fengya felt like talking to herself. So, Ye Wenxin simply didn’t speak and prayed for Long Qing’er to wake up soon.

But on the other hand, she didn’t want Long Qing’er to wake up. If she did, Ye Wenxin wouldn’t be able to use Flower Burial so freely.

Ye Wenxin started to fidget again, while Fairy Fengya remained passive, occasionally watching the flowers solidified by Ye Wenxin’s Flower Burial. She didn’t ask who Ye Wenxin was or how she learned such sinister skills. She remained quiet, but in Ye Wenxin’s opinion, it was because Fairy Fengya had no interest in her at all.

Ye Wenxin also released a bit of her murderous nature, unable to hide a wicked smirk. Her eyes were filled with an uncontrollable bloodlust. She was getting a bit carried away, wanting to spar with Fairy Fengya right then and there.

The memory of having her foundation crippled and her cultivation dispersed by a single palm strike was still vivid in Ye Wenxin’s mind, leaving her with an instinctive fear of Fairy Fengya.

As they continued on their journey, carrying Long Qing’er became too troublesome, so halfway through, Ye Wenxin used her blood to create a formation, putting Long Qing’er into a prolonged unconscious state. This was the only way she could avoid the greatest blunder.

Fairy Fengya remained taciturn until she was slightly distracted, before she noticed that the person beside her had changed appearance.

At this moment, Fairy Fengya couldn’t help but glance a few times. Ye Wenxin thought it was her beauty that caught Fairy Fengya, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit smug. “Xiao Feng-feng, do I look good like this?”

“Is there a difference?” Fairy Fengya looked for a long time and then gave an answer that almost drove Ye Wenxin to Qi Deviation. Although Qi Deviation was normal for her, hearing these words from Fairy Fengya felt particularly mocking.

“How could you, the world’s number one, understand the frustration of being number two!?” Ye Wenxin was even more dissatisfied. Fairy Fengya seemed to find this statement strange and couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t the second in the world Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng?”

Ye Wenxin was somewhat surprised, completely unaware that someone like Fairy Fengya would know about the Unparalleled Beauty List. The corner of her mouth quirked up slightly as she continued, “I’m not talking about the Unparalleled Beauty List, but the Cultivation Rankings.”

“Then wouldn’t it be the Solitary Old Man?” Fairy Fengya responded again, as if at some point unbeknownst to Ye Wenxin, Fairy Fengya had learned all sorts of gossip and was absorbing more cultural knowledge.

This piqued Ye Wenxin’s interest even more. “What else do you know?” Currently in her original appearance, her aura soared along with her beauty, and her every move was captivating.

But unlike Liu Churan’s allure, Gu Qingcheng’s beauty leaned more towards sensuality, as if it could burn away everyone’s soul. Although the world’s number one and number two beauties were standing here, no one was able to appreciate such a phenomenal sight.

Fairy Fengya glanced at Ye Wenxin a few more times. Just when Ye Wenxin thought Fairy Fengya had finally learned how to appreciate beauty, she heard her say, “I still prefer that face.”

Ye Wenxin’s blood boiled, and she was unable to restrain her murderous intent any longer. She immediately unleashed Flower Burial. Blood from the surrounding corpses overflowed, transforming into thorny roses, like sharp swords aiming to pierce Fairy Fengya.

Fairy Fengya, however, remained calm. The Cold Soul Sword in her hand did not leave its sheath, but sword qi emerged, accurately cutting through the thorns.

In the second strike, the sword qi slashed through the poisonous roses. The petals began to scatter, as beautiful as a dream, but red flames consumed everything they touched.

This move, named Fire Rose, was one of Flower Burial’s 999 moves. (TL: That’s a lot. Sheesh.)

Fairy Fengya frowned slightly. She drew her long sword, and her aura became even more intense, with a sudden emergence of killing intent.

“Great Grandmother told me to cripple you, for using such evil ways!”

Fairy Fengya’s tone changed slightly, but her words were entirely different from her actions.

“If you use that move, I will die!” Ye Wenxin, however, maintained her composure. Fairy Fengya’s aura receded as if she found Ye Wenxin’s words very reasonable, only to say, “Then you should cripple your own cultivation.”

Fairy Fengya spoke so naturally, but Ye Wenxin’s feelings were extremely complex. It seemed she could already see that if she went head to head against Fairy Fengya, her end would be certain death.

“No, this is something my master taught me.”

“Jin Xiaoqin doesn’t know such sinister techniques.”

“This is a long story. It started with me being chased one day, falling into a cave, and meeting a celestial sister.”

Ye Wenxin began to tell her cave story, painstakingly recounting how she found her master, learned martial arts, survived numerous hardships, and learned from various manuals.

After hearing Ye Wenxin’s touching story, Fairy Fengya nodded and continued to ask, “Who is this person?”

Ye Wenxin instinctively wanted to mention Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng, but knowing she couldn’t dig herself out of that hole, she forced a smile and came up with an excuse for her nonexistent master.

“My master has already ascended. You can only find her if you ascend.”

Fairy Fengya scrutinized Ye Wenxin’s face, as if trying to discern something from it. Ye Wenxin became even more puzzled. She noticed Fairy Fengya restrain her aura before reiterating, “What is her name?”

Ye Wenxin thought for a moment and decided to make up a name.

“My master is Lei Dada, also known as the Rolling Thunder!”
