Peerless: Auspicious Beast's Star Revival Plan

Chapter 155

Before Huo Yuqing opened her eyes, she heard a slight sound of metal colliding with each other.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Wen Qiang lazily curled up on the sofa by the wall, holding a gorgeous half-red and half-white round plate in his hand. Seeing Huo Yuqing sitting up, he carefully put the round plate aside, and the complicated gold ornaments on his body made a pleasant jingling sound as he moved.

Huo Yuqing saw a woman's face appear on the screen on the other side of the disc. The woman had short silver hair, brown skin, beautiful and deep facial features, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She was looking at her curiously.

The disc should be some kind of soul guide for instant communication, where the communicator can see the other party on the screen of the soul guide. Huo Yuqing had seen the concept of this kind of soul guide in a manuscript, but the notes said that this kind of soul guide seemed to require a lot of supporting settings, so the research and development was temporarily shelved. But now it seems that this kind of communication soul guide has actually been researched.

"Are you Huo Yuqing, Wen Qiang's apprentice?" A woman's voice came from the soul guide. "Hello, I'm Xu Jing."

"Hello."

"Good boy." Xu Jing laughed, "Study hard and don't bring shame to your master."

Then she turned to Wen Qiang: "I'm tired, I want to go back to sleep."

Wen Qiang nodded, and then the screen went dark.

"Goodbye."

Huo Yuqing looked at him curiously. Wen Qiang saw through what she wanted to ask and said bluntly, "She is your master's wife."

……etc?
She felt a chill on her back.

Tianmeng Bingcan said that Wen Qiang was a soul beast from the Sun-Moon Continent. He left his home during the turbulent period after the collision of the Sun-Moon and Douluo continents, and met his lover, the princess of the Sun-Moon Empire, who was also a very outstanding soul instructor.

But that was more than two thousand years ago, almost three thousand years ago!

That princess...how is it possible that she is still alive...?
But Wen Qiang didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, as if he was simply introducing his master's wife to his disciple.

"Since you're awake, let's go." Wen Qiang put away the mirror, stood up, and brushed off the wrinkles on his clothes. "Do some work for me, and absorb the second soul ring by the way."

"Okay, teacher." Huo Yuqing stood up. The stone bed where she was lying collapsed with her movement and broke into pieces, leaving the little girl frozen in place.

"Don't worry about it. The power in that piece of ice marrow has been absorbed by you. It's broken, so let it break. Someone will come to clean it up soon."

He drew aside the curtain and walked out of the room.

Huo Yuqing hurried to follow.

The hot and humid steam hit her face, and Huo Yuqing suddenly realized that this room was actually in the middle of a giant tree's canopy, surrounded by lush branches and leaves. Under the layers of leaves, she couldn't see far away, nor could she see how high it was from the ground. There was only a rope ladder made of vines at her feet.

A rustling sound was heard, and a snake with green scales, as thick as a bowl, lowered its head from the branch above to look at her, stuck out its tongue curiously, and then retracted itself.

She subconsciously used her mental detection, but there seemed to be a very gentle resistance between the branches and leaves of the giant tree, rejecting her detection.

——That was a mighty life force, silently nourishing everything. But she had always been in such an environment, and her body subconsciously ignored that power. She was on the crown of the ancient golden tree.

Jade City respects ancient trees. Only creatures that are born with the ability to fly can fly around the golden tree. This seems to be some kind of convention. Now it seems that there may be a deeper reason...

After all, the God of Emotion just said that he didn't have a place of inheritance, but borrowed someone else's territory or something...

Huo Yuqing obediently climbed down the vine rope ladder. After a few minutes, she finally broke away from the lush branches and leaves, and the panoramic view of Cuiyu City appeared below in a very shocking way.

In the near distance is a circular cluster of buildings. The emerald roofs of the houses are harmoniously connected with the lush forest in the distance, and finally disappear in the rolling morning mist in the distance. The giant trees, city and forest form a harmonious and integrated whole without any sense of abruptness.

Huo Yuqing let go of the rope ladder and landed on the small platform below. The sticky and soft touch under her feet made her body stiffen.

"This is a fungus between mushrooms and Ganoderma lucidum." Wen Qiang's voice came from below, "Go faster, they are conscious. If they are unhappy, they will throw you down. Although you won't die from the fall, be sure not to damage the things below."

The moist golden-brown caps of the mushrooms spiraled downward around the thick trunk of the golden tree, forming a staircase leading to the ground.

The width of the mushroom stairs is considered spacious for humans, but compared to the diameter of the trunk of the ancient tree, they are just insignificant little cuties.

The platform under Huo Yuqing's feet - the mushroom - shook at the right time, and she hurried down. The fleshy cap of the fungus made a "crackling" sound under her feet.

She ran for a long time before finally stepping on solid ground. The first thing she did was rub the soles of her feet on the ground.

"The vitality of the ancient golden tree will nourish the surrounding creatures, and the vitality generated by the creatures will also return to the ancient golden tree." Wen Qiang, who had already reached the ground, seemed amused by her actions. "However, most of the small animals that can live on this tree for a long time are chosen and loved."

"Is this tree conscious?" Huo Yuqing finally felt the sticky feeling on the soles of her feet weaken a little, and looked up and asked.

"That's about right." Wen Qiang said vaguely, "Anything it doesn't like can't get close to here. Let's go. Time is short and the mission is heavy."

He led Huo Yuqing through a very classical column-style building, which was the building complex where the wounded were rescued in Cuiyu City. Huo Yuqing trotted behind him and finally couldn't help asking, "Do you know where Wang Rui went?"

"Lu Mingyou owes me a pill." Wen Qiang turned around and teased, "She bets that the first thing you will do when you wake up is to ask where your boyfriend is."

Huo Yuqing's face flushed. "Uh, I...but you are cheating! You distracted me first!"

"Anyway, I won." Wen Qiang smiled, "Don't worry, he's gone to the meeting, and he'll be back to go to school with you later."

"Okay..." the girl muttered. She missed Wang Rui a little, but she didn't know if he missed her too.

Wen Qiang brought her all the way to the door of a detached cottage on the edge of Cuiyu City and pushed open the door.

The room was very dark, and the only source of light was the moss-like substance on the wall, which was emitting a bright green light.

A huge ant, as tall as a person, was lying in the center of the room.
