Chapter 1531: Nothing to Fear
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What Xue Fanxin heard was something that had no nutritional value to her, so she was not interested at all. She took out a Heaven-grade antidote for Hua Shangmei. “You’re only poisoned with a poison that temporarily makes you lose all your spirit energy. Even if you don’t take the antidote, it will automatically detoxify in six hours. However, this is the Forest of No Return and you can encounter danger at any time, so you should detoxify the poison in your body first.”
“Wow… A Heaven-grade antidote. Sister-in-law Ye is too good to me. I can’t repay you…” When Hua Shangmei saw the Heaven-grade antidote, apart from shock, he was also filled with gratitude.
He had only seen Xue Fanxin once, so the two of them could not be considered acquaintances. Although he called her Sister-in-law Ye, they really did not have any feelings for each other. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were strangers.
However, to a stranger like him, not only had Sister-in-law Ye saved him, but she had also taken out a Heaven-grade antidote for him. No matter how good a friend was, it was very difficult to do this.
Sister-in-law Ye was really too good to him.
Xue Fanxin looked at the touched Hua Shangmei and was really worried that he would say, “I have nothing to repay you with, so I can only devote myself to you.” Hence, before he could speak, she teased, “What? Could it be that you want to devote yourself to me?”
“How is that possible? Even if I want to devote my life to you, I have to have this life. I still understand that a friend’s wife can’t be touched. Furthermore, if Brother Ye finds out that I want to devote my life to you, it’ll be strange if he doesn’t kill me! Sister-in-law Ye, don’t worry. Even if I can’t devote my life to you, I’ll definitely repay your kindness.” Hua Shangmei had already consumed the antidote pill and the spiritual energy in his body slowly recovered. At this moment, he already had the strength to stand up and look into the depths of the Forest of No Return with a worried expression.
“What’s wrong?” Xue Fanxin asked.
“My brother is still in the depths of the Forest of No Return. He doesn’t know about Yang Wenlu and Zhou Yuanyuan yet. I’m worried that Yang Wenlu will harm my brother.”
“Your brother is not a simple person. A shameless person like Yang Wenlu can’t hurt him, so you don’t have to worry too much. By the way, what is your brother doing in the depths of the Forest of No Return?” “You don’t know?” Hua Shangmei asked in confusion. “What do I know?” Xue Fanxin asked in confusion.
“If you don’t know, why are you here?”
“I’m only here to save them. Now that I’ve saved them, I’m about to leave. Why?
Did anything else happen in the Forest of No Return?”
Just as Xue Fanxin was asking, before Hua Shangmei could answer, Manqiu spoke first. “Your Highness, recently, there have been some rumors that there will be a Fire Crystal Flower blooming in the depths of the Forest of No Return, so many people who received the news came here. However, those who came are all powerful large families, most of them are old monsters from those large families. Because the Fire Crystal Flower is not an ordinary item, even Martial Monarch Realm experts will find it difficult to pluck it, so the Purple Cloud
Tower did not waste their energy fighting for this thing.”
If they wanted to obtain the Fire Crystal Flower, they had to send experts above the Martial Monarch Realm. Furthermore, they might not be able to live to pluck the Fire Crystal Flower. Perhaps even Martial Monarch Realm experts would be burned to ashes by the Fire Crystal Flower. Therefore, the Purple Cloud Tower weighed the pros and cons and did not act rashly.
Furthermore, they were not determined to obtain the Fire Crystal Flower, nor was it a necessity. Naturally, they did not have to waste so much manpower and resources to fight for it.
Most importantly, the Nether King had no instructions, so they did not express anything.
“Fire Crystal Flower…” Xue Fanxin had originally not known that there was a Fire Crystal Flower in the Forest of No Return. Now that she knew, she naturally recalled it properly and thought about the records of the Fire Crystal Flower in the Myriad Spirit Record.
The Fire Crystal Flower had been nurtured by the spiritual fire of the world for countless years. Just growing a bud would take a thousand years, and blooming would take a thousand years. Therefore, it would take at least ten thousand years for the Fire Crystal Flower to bloom.
Something that had taken ten thousand years to form was definitely a treasure.
According to the records of the Myriad Spirit Record, the petals of the Fire Crystal Flower were an item of extreme Yang. It was a cultivation holy item that fire spirit vein cultivators dreamed of. It was also a necessary ingredient for a few high-level medicinal pills. The most important and valuable thing about the Fire Crystal Flower was the heart of the flower. That was a very special kind of fire. It was similar to deviant flames and was even much stronger than some deviant flames.
Such a treasure would naturally attract countless experts to fight for it.
At this moment, in the depths of the Forest of No Return, quite a few old fellows and people with unfathomable cultivation levels had already gathered.
All of them had strength, and quite a few were already close to the Deity Realm.
They were all waiting for the moment the Fire Crystal Flower bloomed. Then, they would snatch it, even if they only snatched one petal.
“The Fire Crystal Flower is indeed a good thing. Let’s go take a look too.” Xue Fanxin said that she was going to take a look, but she already had designs on the Fire Crystal Flower.
Although she did not really need this Fire Crystal Flower, she did not want to miss such a good thing. What if she could use it in the future?
Furthermore, the Fire Crystal Flower was ownerless. The lucky one would get it, and with her good luck, perhaps the Fire Crystal Flower would be hers in the end.
“Your Highness, there are many people fighting for the Fire Crystal Flower now. Most of them are old fellows with extremely high cultivation levels and strength. With just the two of us, I’m afraid it will be very difficult to snatch it.” How could Manqiu not see through Xue Fanxin’s thoughts? It was precisely because he could that he advised.
He was not afraid of facing those old fellows, but he was worried about the consort’s safety.
It did not matter if he died alone, but nothing could happen to the consort.
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I’ll do it according to the situation. If the opponent is too strong, then I’ll just go and watch the commotion. However, I’ve always been very lucky, so you have to be mentally prepared.”
“Sister-in-law Ye, don’t tell me you want to snatch that Fire Crystal Flower too?” Hua Shangmei could tell that Xue Fanxin was also eyeing the Fire Crystal Flower.
“So what if I do?” Xue Fanxin said.
“Sister-in-law Ye, it’s not that I look down on you, but… with your small arms and legs, you really can’t win against those old fellows. Perhaps they’ll blow you away in one breath. Furthermore, my brother is there. He’s also determined to obtain the Fire Crystal Flower, so…”
“So you’re worried that I’ll snatch your brother’s Fire Crystal Flower?”
“Haha… You can’t say that. Even if you don’t snatch it, others will. Furthermore, those people’s backgrounds are not simple, but…’
“But what?”
“It’s nothing. Anyway, you have someone backing you. It doesn’t matter even if you offend those people.”
Although he did not know Ye Jiushang’s exact identity, someone that even his brother was afraid of must have a powerful background. Furthermore, he was very powerful. Therefore, it did not matter even if Sister-in-law Ye provoked those people.
But if Sister-in-law Ye really snatched the Fire Crystal Flower, wouldn’t Brother be sad?
Xue Fanxin could not be bothered to waste her breath on Hua Shangmei. After Shui Moning and Shui Dongliu came, they set off into the depths of the Forest of No Return.
Along the way, Hua Shangmei advised Xue Fanxin to leave, but no matter what he said, it was useless. What made him feel strange was that he did not meet a single demonic beast on the way. Even if he did, those demonic beasts did not attack them.
It was really strange.
Although there were many experts in the depths of the Forest of No Return now, there were still quite a few demonic beasts that came out to move around, especially those high-level demonic beasts. It was said that near the Fire Crystal Flower, there were a few holy beasts eyeing covetously.
Why had they not encountered any demonic beasts along the way?
Why had those demonic beasts not attacked when they saw them?
Hua Shangmei found it more and more strange, but he had never thought of Xue Fanxin as the reason. He continued to persuade her, “Sister-in-law Ye, five kilometers ahead is the place where the Fire Crystal Flower blooms. Are you really not going to give up?”
“Hua Shangmei, you’re really annoying… Even if I don’t snatch that Fire Crystal Flower, I can at least take a look, right?” Xue Fanxin was a little impatient with Hua Shangmei’s chatter.
She knew at a glance that this guy did not want her to snatch it from his brother. However, who was willing to miss out on a good thing that had no owner?
At the very least, she should take a look, okay? She had never seen a fire crystal flower!
Being shouted at by Xue Fanxin, Hua Shangmei did not dare to say anything else. He continued to lead the way and prayed in his heart: I hope my brother can snatch the Fire Crystal Flower in the end.
Actually, he did not think highly of Xue Fanxin. Although she had some strength, she was far inferior to those old fellows and old monsters.
Hence, Xue Fanxin probably did not have the ability to snatch the Fire Crystal Flower. At most, she would just watch the commotion.
At this moment, Hua Shangmei had never expected that everything he thought was the opposite. What happened later had completely exceeded his expectations.
Because there was still some time before the Fire Crystal Flower bloomed, no one plucked it. This was because the Fire Crystal Flower had to bloom before it could be plucked. Otherwise, it would turn to ashes if it was plucked. Furthermore, you could not pluck it even if you wanted to.
The Fire Crystal Flower that had not bloomed was extremely hot. Even an
Martial Monarch Realm expert would be burned to ashes if they touched it. Only after the flower bloomed would the temperature decrease. Only then could it be plucked.
This was why everyone was waiting patiently.
Because the temperature of the Fire Crystal Flower was too high, everything within a hundred miles was like an oven. The closer one was to the flower, the higher the temperature. All the plants within a hundred miles had basically been burned to death, leaving only bare ground and rocks.
This high-temperature environment was not something ordinary people could bear. Even Martial Monarch Realm experts needed a lot of endurance to bear with it.
Perhaps because of the competition or because everyone had nothing to do, many people were sizing up the people around them and looking carefully at which one was their greatest opponent. They tried their best to figure out the other party’s background before the flower bloomed.
However, everyone could not move, so it was very difficult to find out about each other.
When Xue Fanxin appeared, quite a few people immediately looked in her direction. They realized that it was only a little girl, and many people revealed disdainful gazes, not taking her seriously. A little girl was nothing to be afraid of..
