Qi Xiao's eyes flickered with amusement as he asked, "You summoned me, do you really think I can help?"
Shu Qingyao suddenly turned her head, fixing her gaze on him. "That divine dragon trapped you underwater for two whole days. Did it give you anything besides those messages?"
Qi Xiao took a step back, recalling the source the divine dragon had provided him, and a hint of wariness washed over him. "What do you mean?"
Shu Qingyao's frustration was palpable. "You know exactly what I mean. Those divine beasts are manifestations of the Heavenly Dao. Even if the Heavenly Dao is currently in slumber, they can still harness a portion of its power."
She stepped closer, gripping his arm tightly, her tone urgent. "To solve this problem, we can only rely on you now. With so many lives at stake, just tell me the truth: Is that divine dragon's source with you or not?"
"Qi Xiao, you need to tell me," she said, her voice faltering for a moment.
She looked down at her abdomen, where a sharp sword had pierced through her lower belly, blood gushing forth.
Shu Qingyao trembled all over, her face filled with disbelief. "Why?"
"Because you're a fake!"
The words spoken by the other party were indeed logical, but just moments ago, the two sect leaders had approached him without mentioning anything about this matter. They seemed completely unaware, which contradicted Shu Qingyao's knowledge.
Connecting her words together, Qi Xiao naturally began to suspect that someone was playing tricks. He had found it strange earlier; how could Miaochun Valley know these secrets? How could Shu Qingyao be so informed?
Even the two sect leaders were vague about the demon realm, yet Shu Qingyao spoke with such detail—it was odd.
Sure enough, Shu Qingyao's entire body slowly deflated until she resembled a crumpled piece of paper, lifelessly hanging from the sword.
On the paper figure crawled a blood-red insect, seemingly trying to escape in a panic and find a way out. However, Qi Xiao pierced it with his sword before it could flee, silencing it forever.
Qi Xiao narrowed his eyes, feeling a chill run through him. What an impressive illusion! Just now, I didn't notice any flaws at all.
If he hadn't been unable to detect any inconsistencies in this version of Shu Qingyao for so long, he wouldn't have patiently listened to her for this long.
Wait a minute—this is bad!
If he encountered the paper figures, what about the others?
Qi Xiao hurried back to the two sect leaders' courtyard and saw several paper figures lying at their feet.
Li Jinyuan frowned and sighed lightly. "What on earth are these things? As a Divine Realm cultivator, I couldn't even spot the flaw!"
Song Maoyan looked worried as well; the things from the Demon Realm were indeed strange.
Qi Xiao recalled what the paper figure had told him. After hesitating for a moment, he inquired about the situation in Wangjing City.
"Oh, you don't need to worry about that. Although the lotus outside Wangjing City is indeed a bit peculiar, they are merely some more sentient plants. With Qingxu Zhenren leading the way, these things are nothing to worry about."
Qi Xiao forced a smile. With Qingxu Zhenren stationed there, he naturally wouldn't worry about those lotuses; his only concern was revealing what the paper figure had said earlier.
Upon hearing this, both sect leaders were astonished and puzzled. "Is this true? But why would it suddenly bring up this matter?"
After a moment of silence, Qi Xiao decided to share what he had learned about the Dragon Source.
Song Maoyan understood immediately. After all, it was related to the Heavenly Dao; it must contain many fragments of the Heavenly Dao itself. Those people from the Demon Realm would certainly not let you off easily if they wanted to target the Heavenly Dao.
With such circumstances, it would be best for you to stay with us for these few days to avoid any unexpected incidents.
Song Maoyan then sent a disciple to invite Shu Qingyao.
After hearing what the paper figure had said, Shu Qingyao nodded in confusion. "The Wuyin Lotus and Dulu Lotus are indeed sacred flowers of the Demon Realm, but I've never heard of anything regarding their soil and fissures."
"I've gone through quite a few texts in our sect these days, and I can swear that there are absolutely no relevant records."
"Even if there aren't any, we can't say for certain that it's false; after all, we know too little about the Demon Realm. To be safe, we should still go take a look at Wangjing City."
"Shu Shaogu Master, in your opinion, how much truth do you think there is in what that paper figure said?"
Shu Qingyao pondered for a moment while pinching her chin and replied, "At least regarding the two types of lotuses, that part is true. Moreover, these two flowers are quite rare in the Demon Realm and definitely wouldn't appear in the human realm."
Song Maoyan nodded. "So the sudden appearance of the Wuyin Lotus is indeed suspicious."
Shu Qingyao remained silent for a moment before nodding in agreement. "That can be said."
"Since that's the case, we shouldn't delay any longer; let's set off quickly."
A group hurriedly made their way to the lookout point of the capital.
Ye Xiuyuan finally managed to obtain a small pink pill from the system. The cold, mechanical voice echoed in his ears: as long as you make Yu Miaoyin take this, she will become infatuated with you, treating you like a god. Whatever you ask her to do, she will comply.
Ye Xiuyuan's eyes lit up. If I give this to someone else, wouldn’t their favorability towards me increase?
The system scoffed coldly, mocking him. What a naive dream you're having! If that were possible, why would I need your suggestions? This thing is fake; it’s all an illusion.
It was as if she were being controlled, unable to restrain her emotions. She would do whatever he said, yet on a rational level, she would still sense something was off. Some might feel confused and develop feelings for the one who drugged them, but for those who were clever, this kind of pill would only backfire.
Thus, the system was extremely cautious about this drug. If it weren't for Ye Xiuyuan's repeated pleas, it wouldn't have produced it at all. Moreover, you could only use half of it.
What would happen if I used the whole thing?
The system chuckled derisively. Then you can just wait to be discovered by those at Qingjing Peak and be torn apart!
Ye Xiuyuan shuddered and immediately retracted his thoughts. Taking a deep breath, he carried the hot porridge that had been laced with the drug and headed toward Yu Miaoyin's courtyard.
His youthful voice was warm, causing Yu Miaoyin's heart to skip a beat. "Third Senior Sister, are you there? I'm coming in."
Suppressing her impatience, Yu Miaoyin coldly responded with an "mm."
Ye Xiuyuan slowly approached, taking out a food box and revealing the steaming porridge inside. "Third Senior Sister, I learned how to make this. It has Soul-Condensing Grass added in; it's very beneficial for your injuries. You should try it."
Yu Miaoyin felt irritated and recalled her senior sisters' warnings. She forced a smile and said, "You've worked hard. You should have a cup of tea first; I'll drink this porridge later."
But Ye Xiuyuan stared intently at her. "Third Senior Sister, you need to drink it while it's hot; that's when the medicinal effect is best."
Yu Miaoyin paused for a moment before picking up the porridge and slowly starting to eat it.
