Chapter 620 The Container of Golden Petals
Chapter 620 The Container of Golden Petals
Xu Ning and Jie De had no idea what Asarig was thinking outside the door.
They have now jumped from a height of nearly three stories.
"Are we heading underground now?" Jade, holding Belial's hand, looked around at the surrounding ruins and asked uncertainly.
"This place doesn't feel like a temple at all; it's more like a prison," Belial remarked casually, looking around.
Xu Ning strongly agrees with Belial's statement.
The entrance still retains the exquisite features of the ancient ruins, but the further you go in, the more you can feel a kind of anger that has been suppressed for thousands of years permeating the air. This kind of negative emotion, solidified as a substance, can usually only be felt in a prison.
However, Jade seemed oblivious, and instead pointed out the distant scenery to Belial with great interest.
"Look inside, it's just like what's written in the book. Under the influence of the spirit-suppressing power, even the most barren desert will turn into an oasis..."
Xu Ning and Belial exchanged a glance, both unable to hide the shock in their eyes.
I had thought I might encounter the "Mother of Spirits" here, but I never imagined she would have such authority to turn the desert into an oasis.
As a follower of the legendary goddess of flowers, such abilities are practically the bane of the desert itself.
One can imagine that when the goddess of flowers was still alive, her retinue surrounded her, singing joyfully, and the ancient shifting sands were covered with lush green grass and blooming flowers.
No wonder everyone longs to restore the glory of the past; the scene before them is simply a paradise that is hard for desert people to resist.
Inside the enormous cave, the grass on the ground grew unrestrained, and a lush, verdant tree in the center spread its branches across the entire cave ceiling.
Who would have thought that such a fairyland existed beneath the vast expanse of yellow sand?
"Hey, there seems to be something sparkling inside the tree roots?"
Just as Jiede was about to go and check, Xu Ning suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
Jade suddenly realized what was happening, and with a flick of her wrists, a pair of brass knuckles gleaming coldly appeared in her hands.
"I was just wondering why they didn't even assign a guard to guard something so important. It seemed a bit too presumptuous. Turns out they were waiting for us here!"
Although they couldn't see anything in the cave, Xu Ning and the other two slowly turned their eyes around.
Xu Ning casually summoned a stream of wine and sprayed it at the invisible mechanism in the void in front of him.
With a flick of his fingers, a spark burst forth, and a massive, flaming mechanism was instantly ignited and took shape.
Having lost its stealth capabilities, this machine, despite possessing powerful laser weapons, was easily dismantled into pieces by the three individuals.
"They've finally been eliminated. I wonder what they were guarding. Was it the Mother of Spirits?"
Jade sheathed her twin blades and bent down again to look at the gleaming spot at the tree roots.
Jade reached out and gently touched the object inside, and then the entire cave suddenly shook.
"What happened? Why is this happening?"
Xu Ning looked around the cave. The grass withered and decayed instantly, and the huge tree branch in the center shriveled up in just a few seconds, as if it had been blown by hot, dry winds in the yellow sand for nearly a hundred years.
"Yes, what happened? Who is to blame for this?" A charming voice, not belonging to the three of them, suddenly rang out in the cave.
Startled by the sudden voice, Jade, who had just put away her twin blades, immediately flipped them back into her hands.
"Who is it... Hey, what bottle... No, Xu Ning, look! This bottle can talk!"
Xu Ning naturally also saw the bottle floating in mid-air.
It was like a perfume bottle containing two golden petals, emitting a soft glow that flickered in mid-air.
Xu Ning did not answer, but instead tried to recall the familiar voice.
It seemed that in the environment I had just been in, this voice was conversing with that grand voice. I was suddenly awakened by Jade, and my mind was in a daze, so I didn't bother to investigate the owners of those two voices.
Now, after careful consideration, Xu Ning finally remembered where those two voices belonged.
"Lilupal? You...you're Lilupal? How did you become like this?"
Xu Ning hadn't even had time to be shocked at how this beautiful woman who once served Ahmar had become like this.
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared beside him, and a small cyan figure rushed out from the Dust Concealment Cave, reaching out to scoop up the bottle floating in mid-air.
It was Qingyi, the steward of Chenyin Cave.
The little girl grinned maliciously, "You little slut, you've finally fallen into my hands. How about we settle all those scores from back then, one by one?"
Lilupar, who was put into the bottle for some unknown reason, seemed to have no fear in the face of the man in blue, and his voice did not tremble at all.
"Oh dear, it's been so many years, and your relative is still as irritable as ever. I think you should lock her in a bottle for a thousand years, and she'll be much more obedient. After all, your gourd is really too big."
Xu Ning looked at the two of them helplessly, "Don't start arguing as soon as you meet. Lilupal, you still haven't told me how you changed into this state. Where is your original form?"
The woman in green chimed in gloating, "Is that even a question? Didn't you hear what she said? She was definitely dishonest, which is why that guy Amon locked her up. And she calls herself the Mother of Town Spirits? She cheated on her master with some wild man and had a bunch of town spirits, didn't she?"
Lilupal chuckled, offering no rebuttal to Qingyi's mockery. "You guessed it right, Liuxia. It's like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. But don't laugh at me for being a mother. A thousand years have passed, and you're still a virgin. That really surprises me. How much does Lord Saigong despise you!"
The woman in green was furious. "If you dare to speak so disrespectfully again, believe me, I'll pull out your plug, dump you on hot sand, and make you into a fried egg!"
When she saw Qingyi touch the bottle stopper, Jiede was immediately shocked.
"Are you a member of the Great Drunkard's family? Please don't harm her. The Mother of the Spirits is of great significance to our Tanit tribe... Well, I have a question for you. He calls you Lilupal. Are you the evil spirit who drowned the entire family of the King of Jur City, Olmaz, in honey? Or is it just a coincidence in your name?"
Lilupal, as if only now noticing Jade standing to the side, said calmly, "There is only one spirit here named Lilupal. Furthermore, get out of here; there is no place for desert slave girls to make a fuss..."
