Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 89: The Way of King

When Qin Yi recovered, Shenghuang appeared again.

“The lemon beastkin you recommended to Ye Ling, I have never heard of it since I was a child. What is it? Is it delicious?”

Qin Yi was quite disappointed, “A sour fruit… forget it then.”

“It sounds delicious. I’ll try to transplant one to the human world one day.”

“It may not exist in the human world. I’m just talking nonsense… By the way, King, shouldn’t you have been inedia long ago? Why are you so interested in eating?”

“I heard that eunuchs can also find women, so why can’t I eat when I’m inedia?”

“… Well you are right.” Qin Yi said, “I really admire King. For such a big matter of entering the holy place, there are powerful external enemies and internal spies, but you actually have time to bother about trivial matters like the guard I recommended to Ye Ling. Not only that, but you even want to eat lemons.”

“Heh…” Shenghuang smiled nonchalantly, “Beastkin’s life is already so difficult, why would I want to live my life with a sad face? Like your anxious performance after hearing the Frost Fruit, you seem to die faster than me.”

Qin Yi stroked his forehead and was too embarrassed to argue.

Shenghuang looked him up and down for a while and smiled sweetly.

Qin Yi subconsciously took a step back, “What’s wrong?”

“You can’t go out wearing this nightgown, right?” Shenghuang took out a set of green clothes from the ring, “You looked pretty ok wearing clothes of this color before. Try this.”

Qin Yi took the clothes. Although it was still a pure green shirt with no fancy brocade, he could feel that the quality of the fabric was completely different from what he had worn before. He was not an expert at this, so he couldn’t tell the exact difference.

After changing clothes behind the screen, he discovered a pendant around his waist. It had a light belt and a ring. Looking at himself in the mirror, he immediately gained a bit of elegance. He looked like the handsome young master from ancient times that he saw in the painting before.

Previously, he felt with the ready-made clothes that Eagle Li bought randomly. This set seemed to be tailor-made. It completely fit his body and was very comfortable to wear.

Liu Su’s voice came into his mind, “This clothes is enchanted. It has good five-element protection and has a certain protection against swords… That jade pendant helps to restore and circulate your spiritual force. It can also be called an enchanted accessory… If you wore this to the Frost Cave, it would be a lot easier.”

Enchanted clothes and accessory may not be of a high level, but their value is great. Think about the South Li Kingdom. Although the South Li Kingdom is a small country, the emperor was at least the top of the kingdom. He didn’t even have such a thing. Dong Huazi had been plundering for so long, and he only got items with little spiritual power, but couldn’t be classified as enchanted weapons.

But why do such precious enchanted clothes fit me so well?

Qin Yi walked out of the screen with a strange expression and said, “This is too precious. I’m afraid it doesn’t fit my identity.”

Shenghuang’s watery eyes were bright. She looked at him intently and chuckled, “I’ve once heard of the phrase ‘stunning man who looks as gentle as a jade’, but I always thought it was an exaggeration. Looking at your appearance now, you really seem to fit well with that phrase.”

No matter how thick-skinned Qin Yi was, he couldn’t bear such words. He stood there for a long time not knowing what to say.

Shenghuang said with a smile, “Since you are fighting for me, this is the equipment that my soldiers should have. Why doesn’t it fit your identity?”

Qin Yi couldn’t help but ask, “Did… King specially custom made it for me?”

Shenghuang smiled slightly and said, “I-King provided the material. Mrs. Cheng of Brocade Embroidery Workshop weaved it for you.”

Cheng Cheng weaved it? Right, she once said she was an embroiderer.

Shenghuang didn’t talk any more nonsense. Her smile gradually faded, and then she said faintly, “It’s almost time. Come with me.”

After following her out, Qin Yi noticed that she was no longer wearing the long dress but a snow-white tight outfit that outlined her undulating body. There were gold rings fastening the sleeves and trouser legs, and her feet were bare.

…………

The so-called Kunpeng Purple Mansion was basically the back mountain of the palace.

There was a cave on the mountainside, and countless beastkins were guarding the outside. Seeing Shenghuang coming with Qin Yi, countless eyes with different meanings looked at Qin Yi. They quickly bowed, “Greetings, King.”

Shenghuang nodded indifferently and led Qin Yi into the cave.

Inside the cave, it was a vast space. The space was densely packed with traces of arrays of various colors. Everything had been temporarily turned off for now.

Ye Ling was already waiting inside. She waved at Qin Yi happily, “Brother, here!”

Qin Yi was also a little happy. If he really cooperated with the beastkins outside, it probably wouldn’t go so smoothly. They might not listen to his orders. It would be much better if Ye Ling was with him.

Shenghuang said, “You don’t need to worry about the beastkins guarding the mountain. No matter how is the fight below, you just have to guard this last line of defense. I let Ye Ling help you. Her strength is also among the top in Beastkin City. You brother and sister have a tacit cooperation too.”

Qin Yi nodded. He looked at the surrounding arrays, and he was a little speechless, “King, you really think highly of me. This array is ever-changing. Do you really think I can control it?”

“Even if you can’t, just let the array do its work. That’s enough to fend off the enemy. I need you to stay here because I want someone reliable to guard the array core. For example, the spy knows how to turn off the array, then you can change the array eye and the position. This is a simple task for someone who understands array.”

Liu Su said in his mind, “It’s really not difficult, and it’s not a dangerous task. But I don’t think it’s that simple… forget it.”

Whether it is difficult or not, there is no turning back at this point. Unless he gives up asking for her help.

While talking, Shenghuang came to a long passage through a big hall. A giant golden door was at the end of the passage.

Qin Yi and Ye Ling followed in. There were 6 grooves on the left and right sides of the passage. The golden door on the front seemed to have reliefs of various strange beasts, including dragon and phoenix. Qin Yi discovered Shenghuang and Flying Serpent at a glance.

Ye Ling stared straight at the Flying Serpent.

Qin Yi also paid special attention to the Flying Serpent, and then he thought… Forget it, it looks so fierce. Fortunately, Ye Ling is not like you.

But no matter what they looked like, the ferocious gaze of the strange beasts could disrupt one’s qi and blood and cause breathing difficulty.

These were not reliefs at all.

“These are not carvings. They are all totems of beasts naturally formed on the bones of the ancestor.” Shenghuang said with longing, “When can I cultivate to the level of the ancestor. Even his bones can evolve on their own.”

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

This Kunpeng corpse indeed evolved into a whole new world. There are all kinds of landforms and special places in Beastkin City. It can even be called the creation of God. For the people of Beastkin City, Kunpeng is God. Although this is just a “small world”, it’s just Kungpeng corpse. Who knows what he was capable of in his heyday?

Although Liu Su killed Kunpeng, he might not be able to win in terms of the realm. Therefore, when Liu Su was at the city gate, its tone did not have a sense of contempt for “the defeated opponent”. Instead, it felt that it had “lost”. It was a tribute to this opponent.

Liu Su was also silent as if it was reminiscing.

Shenghuang waved her hand, and 12 bone tokens engraved with different zodiac signs spread out, floating and rotating around her gently, then they each accurately floated to the corresponding groove on the left and right.

12 bone tokens were inserted at the same time. Brilliant light burst out in an instant. The bone tokens were disintegrated into powder. 12 drops of blood swirled above the grooves. Slowly, the entire passage turned into a sea of ​​blood. Thousands of strange beasts on the golden door seemed to have come to life, roaring in the blood sea.

In the middle of the blood sea, Shenghuang’s long hair fluttered without wind. Her voice was no longer as charming as usual but cold and serious, “The door is about to open. You should retreat to the array. If no one breaks into the array, then never mind. If anyone gets close, kill without mercy!”

In fact, even without her order, Qin Yi and Ye Ling could no longer withstand the surging beastkin aura in the blood sea… It wasn’t that the energy was powerful but too ferocious, which was unbearable to them. Even after retreating outside the hall, they were still breaking into cold sweat.

“If a beastkin is tempered by such a beastkin aura… No wonder Ming He said that before…”

Ye Ling was a little worried, “Will Master become will become ferocious when he comes out after entering here, right?”

“I don’t know, and…” Qin Yi paused and whispered, “She is not very kind to begin with.”

Ye Ling’s eyes widened, “Brother, why do you say that?”

“I don’t know. It’s just an intuition… This task is too strange.” Qin Yi whispered to himself, “Not to mention the others, at least this outer line of defense… is not life in her eyes.”

Ye Ling stared blankly through the cave at the densely packed guards from the mountainside to the mountain foot. She knew Brother was right.

The only value of these beastkins was to delay the enemy with their lives.

It was reasonable for Liu Su instead. It said, “This is the way of King. The one who flirts with you all day long is inexplicable.”

TL: Will the enemy break through the array? What is this strange feeling of Qin Yi though?
