Zhu Zhuqing: What Kind of Good Person Plants the Blue Silver Emperor in a Place Like This?! Are You Sure They Really Aren't Enemies?

At noon, the blazing sun hung high overhead.

In the gentle breeze, Zhu Zhuqing quietly left Notting City and slipped into the forest, stealthily making her way toward Holy Soul Village.

She was not moving quickly, seemingly observing something constantly.

Her wary demeanor made it seem as though someone was following her from behind.

"Tang Hao definitely isn't nearby. Speed up."

Only after a voice sounded in her mind did the young girl let out a breath of relief and move forward faster.

In less than half an hour, she caught sight of the famed Holy Soul Village.

"Don't enter the village."

Bai Lu guided her. "Go around the village and head toward the mountains to the east. There's a secluded valley with a waterfall. The Blue Silver Emperor and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone are there."

"Mm."

The young girl blinked her cold Cat Eyes, concealed her aura, and swiftly darted through the terrain like a Spirit Cat.

Whether through forests or over mountains, she moved as though walking on level ground.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

More than an hour later, she finally heard the sound of water.

Following the sound, the roaring waterfall became increasingly distinct.

As she moved farther ahead, a hidden valley surrounded by mountains and lush greenery came into view.

A magnificent waterfall, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, poured down into a Deep Pool as blue as a sapphire.

It was a remarkable sight, brimming with vitality and life.

"So beautiful... Is this where the Blue Silver Emperor is?"

The young girl's eyes flickered as she stared blankly at the beautiful valley, which resembled a paradise beyond the mortal world.

"That's right!"

Bai Lu confirmed her words and reminded her,

"To be safe, keep using the White Tiger Martial Soul from now on."

"Alright!"

Zhu Zhuqing followed his instructions, transforming into the White Tiger Girl before entering the valley.

As she felt the presence of nature around her, the gloom in her heart dissipated by more than half once again.

She had not forgotten the purpose of her trip. Taking the initiative, she walked to the center of the valley and began searching every corner.

Bai Lu asked curiously,

"What are you doing?"

"Isn't the Blue Silver Emperor here? Why can't I find it?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked in her mind.

In her understanding, since the Blue Silver Emperor was the emperor of Blue Silver Grass, it ought to be somewhat different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

Yet after looking for so long, she had not seen a single unusual blade of Blue Silver Grass.

"..."

Bai Lu fell silent for two seconds before saying, "Stop looking. The Blue Silver Emperor isn't outside. It's inside."

"There's an inside here?"

Confusion flashed through the young girl's eyes.

"There's a cave behind the waterfall. The Blue Silver Emperor is at the very end."

"Ah?!"

Zhu Zhuqing froze at his words and turned to look at the waterfall pouring down in torrents.

"There's another world inside?"

"Uh... You'll know once you go in and take a look!"

Bai Lu was momentarily speechless and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Alright!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded expectantly.

She felt that if the valley outside was already so beautiful and full of life, then the place where the Blue Silver Emperor's true body resided must surely be an earthly paradise, right?

After carefully observing the area and locating the cave, she activated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation. Soul Power erupted beneath her feet as she leaped into the waterfall.

The cave was dark, damp, and pitch-black, but it posed no issue for Zhu Zhuqing in her White Tiger Possession state.

Filled with anticipation, she quickly headed deeper inside.

But she soon realized that she had been wrong!

And horribly wrong at that!

At the end of the cave, there was no earthly paradise or hidden utopia.

There was only a dark, damp, crude Stone Room.

At the center of the Stone Room stood a small mound of dirt, atop which a slender, special stalk of Blue Silver Grass with Golden Veins stood all alone.

The entire space felt oppressive, nothing but oppressive!

"This..."

Zhu Zhuqing stood there in a daze, completely dumbfounded.

She truly could not understand what kind of Good Person would plant Blue Silver Grass in such a damned place.

If she remembered correctly, didn't Blue Silver Grass prefer sunny places with fresh air, like outside?

Whoosh!

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring lit up, and Bai Lu appeared outside through the White Tiger Avatar.

"Don't ask me. Ask Tang Hao later. I don't know."

Faced with the young girl's confusion, Bai Lu admitted that he was powerless to explain.

After all, he could not understand the thought process of a Godly Person either.

At the same time, sensing an unfamiliar aura, the Blue Silver Emperor's slender body trembled slightly in terror.

"Stop Thinking. See if there's some kind of mechani—"

Before Bai Lu could finish the word "mechanism," he pressed down on a stone.

Click.

With a soft sound, a black rectangular Iron Box fell from above and landed precisely in Bai Lu's arms.

"The heavens really don't drop pies from the sky. They only drop Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones."

Bai Lu chuckled and tossed the box to Zhu Zhuqing.

Gulp.

The Always Cool and Detached young girl swallowed hard, her fingers trembling slightly as she touched the Iron Box.

Although she had already fused with the Slaughter Skull, she had never truly seen what a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone looked like. The entire fusion process had not been pleasant, either.

Her heart raced, and her hands trembled.

Hoo...

She took a deep breath and opened the lid.

Whoosh!

In an Instant, an incomparable aura of life surged forth from within.

Inside the box lay a crystal-clear, blue-gold Right Leg Bone.

Its form was perfect, fine golden specks flowing across its surface as it gave off a gentle yet immense aura of life.

It formed a stark contrast with the cold, bloody Slaughter Skull.

"The Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone..."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was slightly hoarse as she could not help reaching out to touch it.

The Soul Bone was faintly cool, yet it conveyed a warm feeling, trembling slightly as though it possessed life.

Just then, the previously timid Blue Silver Emperor suddenly moved.

Its grass blades stretched out and gently wrapped tightly around Zhu Zhuqing's wrist.

"Let go of me."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke coldly and instinctively struggled twice.

Though Blue Silver Grass was resilient, Zhu Zhuqing was still a Quasi Soul Elder. Its restraint could not affect her movements at all, and instead, part of its body was pulled out of the soil.

Despite This, it still did not release Zhu Zhuqing's wrist.

Its attitude was exceptionally resolute.

"It says that this Soul Bone was left for her husband and son. You can't take it away."

Sensing the Blue Silver Emperor's spiritual fluctuations, Bai Lu translated for her.

"Her... husband and son?"

Zhu Zhuqing froze. "Could this Blue Silver Emperor not be the descendant of the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor that Tang Hao killed?"

Clearly, the young girl seemed to have misunderstood.

"It's a long story..."

Bai Lu calmly recounted the love story of Ah Yin and Tang Hao—

The Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor transformed into a human, met the Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Sect, and then fell in love with Tang Hao.

The two had a son, Tang San, but for some reason, her identity was exposed, and the previous Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, led people to hunt them down.

In the end, with no other choice, she sacrificed her life to Tang Hao, allowing him to successfully break through to become a Title Douluo and gain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

After that, Tang Hao, who had become a Title Douluo, severely wounded Qian Xunji and fled with his child.

"The Soul Bone Ah Yin left behind through her sacrifice is in your hands. As for the grass seed, it grew back into the Blue Silver Emperor."

"What do you think of this love story?"

Having said this much, Bai Lu looked at Zhu Zhuqing, wanting to see her reaction.

"Is what you said true?"

Zhu Zhuqing pondered for a moment before suddenly asking,

"Are you sure they really aren't enemies?"

"?"

The moment those words came out, Bai Lu slowly produced a question mark.

Even the blade of the Blue Silver Emperor that was wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing's wrist loosened a little.
