One Woman After Another
~
The moment the two Mara-Struck Warrior merged into the Ambrosial Arbor, the mysterious patterns on the trunk began to light up.
Several flower buds with mysterious emerald and gold patterns began to grow and emerge around the Ambrosial Arbor.
At the same time, clusters of emerald-gold light began to take shape and solidify on the central branches of the Ambrosial Arbor.
"May the Medicine King's compassion be boundless! Ambrosial Arbor flourish! Sower unite in heart! May we ascend together to the Pure Land!" x2
Such a sacred scene caused the two Mara-Struck Warrior behind him to kneel down and shout involuntarily.
At the same time, Cai Mei'er and Xian Lin'er, who were also watching this scene, stared intently at the gradually solidifying Jianmu Fruit as if their souls had been sucked away.
"Mmm--, it smells so good! Is this the Ambrosial Arbor that's so important to us?"
With a slight twitch of her nose, Ice Empress looked at Ambrosial Arbor with an expression full of amazement and joy.
As one of the Abundance Divine Beast, she was naturally overjoyed at the appearance of the Abundance miracle.
"It feels like a slightly diluted version of the 'Mr.' flavor. But standing in front of it, there is definitely a strange sense of being blessed."
With her fox tail swaying and her eyes slightly narrowed, Zhang Lexuan rubbed against Ming Yue's arm as she spoke.
As a ' Moon-Mad ' fox-person, the sense of Abundance miracles is clearly primarily centered on the Lunar Embryo.
However, whether it is the Undying Ambrosial Arbor or the Lunar Embryo, as long as it is a miracle of Abundance, then the blessing on the Abundance race will be more or less manifested.
"There's a faint sense of connection... Hmm... wait? When facing the Ambrosial Arbor, the connection with its master seems even stronger!"
A glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. As her perception of Ambrosial Arbor deepened, Snow Empress suddenly felt a subtle but close connection between herself and the Ming Yue beside her.
"Hehe. You are all my kin, so it's not surprising that you feel this way," he replied with a faint smile.
Ming Yue's Yinsheng sounded somewhat strange, "Look, the Jianmu Fruit has already fully grown."
As if responding to the Ming Yue's words, the Emerald Gold Radiance in the center of the Ambrosial Arbor completely solidified.
Several orange-yellow fruits with mysterious patterns on their surfaces hung from the branches after the light faded!
At the same time, several sounds of air being torn apart rang out from one end of the Ambrosial Arbor, as the elite members of the Holy Spirit Cult, who had been traveling at high speed, were seen.
Finally, with the help of the Demon Empress's energy-enhanced Soul Tool, they arrived here.
".!"xn
Before their eyes was the magnificent and splendid Undying Ambrosial Arbor. As Ye Xishui, Feng Ling, and the other elites of the Holy Spirit Cult gazed at it, their focus gradually shifted.
However, the Demon Empress and Lan Fozi in front of them were different. The two women felt a faint but obvious connection before the Ambrosial Arbor.
The profound connection with Ming Yue is also clearly pulsating, revealing its direction.
But besides these two connections, there seem to be two other similar connections faintly visible in the direction of the Ming Yue.
"Mom, is this the Ambrosial Arbor they heard about from A-Yue before?"
Looking at Ambrosial Arbor, Lan Fozi pointed in a direction and continued, "A-Yue's aura, and two other auras that have the same feeling."
Her expression clearly became somewhat confused as she spoke. It was obviously the first time she had ever seen an aura similar to her own and her mother's, in addition to the one from the Ming Yue, when facing Ambrosial Arbor.
"A-Yue," the Demon Empress murmured, his Yinsheng taking on a strange tone, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should also be A-Yue's doing."
"Furthermore, during the years we were in seclusion, A-Yue clearly experienced and grew a lot."
After taking over the Holy Spirit Cult, the Demon Empress discovered that his experiences and history within the Holy Spirit Cult were inextricably linked to a force on the Douluo Continent called the "Abundance Cult."
After carefully reviewing the records and tests conducted within the Holy Spirit Cult, the Demon Empress discovered many extraordinary aspects of this "Abundance Cult" through further in-depth understanding and investigation!
Even recently, a spy from the Holy Spirit Cult who had infiltrated the upper echelons of the Great Empire on the Douluo Continent completely lost contact after being taken to a branch base by the cult's elites.
However, after that, some spies also sent back a lot of useful information.
One of the things that caught the Demon Empress's attention the most was a painting depicting the statues of the gods worshipped within the Church of Abundance Cult.
That's right, it's the picture that looks like the image of the Ming Yue Goddess!
"Mom, what's that!?"
The Demon Empress was pulled back from his reverie by Lan Fozi's exclamation and looked up.
Suddenly, a group of women with ethereal, graceful figures, surrounded by a faint Emerald Gold Radiance, appeared at the other end of the Ambrosial Arbor!
"Medicine King Ci Huai! This is the miraculous Ambrosial Arbor upon which we Celestial rely!"
Staring at Ambrosial Arbor with wide amazement, the Celestial form instantly covered Qian Renxue's original attire, and wings adorned with emerald and gold feathers fluttered slowly behind her.
"May the Medicine King's compassion be boundless! Ambrosial Arbor flourish! Sower unite in heart! May we ascend together to the Pure Land!" x8
They unconsciously completed the transformation into Celestial beings, and the eight the Ascended raised their hands in worship.
"May the Medicine King be merciful! Ambrosial Arbor flourish! Sower unite in heart! May we ascend together to the Pure Land!"
Led by the Ascended, they began to raise their hands and shout, their elite followers, the Pseudo-Abundance Followers, all displaying fanaticism!
At this moment, it seemed that the calls of these Pseudo-Abundance Followers had pulled him back to his senses.
Behind Demon Empress Lan Fozi, Ye Xishui, Feng Ling, and other elites of the Holy Spirit Cult quickly came to their senses.
"Master, what should we do next?"
With a solemn expression, Ye Xishui withdrew her gaze from the strange, fanatical scene at the Ambrosial Arbor, which resembled a pilgrimage, and asked, her graceful neck swaying.
"It must be the Abundance Cult. Those people are too strange, and those few flying in the sky look incredibly powerful even from a distance."
She swallowed hard, and after testing the waters, Feng Ling could clearly feel the Ascended.
"The Ascended, the people who Abundance?"
Two terms suddenly popped into his mind, and the Demon Empress frowned. "No, not the Abundance People."
All eyes were fixed on the Pseudo-Abundance Followers faces, though seemingly flushed with fervor, bore the faint outlines of branches.
"They should be called the Pseudo-Abundance Followers," the Demon Empress concluded.
"False, Abundance people?"
The uninformed man repeated the same sentence, Ye Xishui, Feng Ling, and the other elites all looked towards the Demon Empress.
"The Buddha's disciple and I will come. You all wait here." Taking a deep breath, the Demon Empress commanded.
As soon as Lan Fozi uttered the words "Ah A-Yue," she felt several scrutinizing or strange gazes from the other end. She swallowed her words and followed the Demon Empress.
"Abundance Divine Beast?"
"The Ascended?"
The Demon Empress and Lan Fozi stood facing each other, along with Qian Renxue and nine other the Ascended.
Amidst the fervent calls of the Pseudo-Abundance Followers below, Qian Renxue and the Demon Empress spoke in unison.
"Wings... Are you the defeated god from back then?" The Demon Empress raised his eyebrows slightly but did not answer. His gaze fell on the wings behind Qian Renxue.
"That's all in the past. I am now a completely new the Ascended, belonging solely to Medicine King!"
With a slight smile and a nod, Qian Renxue asked, "Given your ability to discern that I was once a god, and considering your Soul Beast form before being blessed by the Medicine King, you shouldn't be Soul Beast from the Douluo Continent, right?"
She was a little curious that the Demon Empress could see her past, but she couldn't tell her race from her appearance at all.
The scene of my first encounter with Ming Yue involuntarily came to mind. Judging from his behavior when we first met, he clearly did not know what blessing was at first.
Therefore, the two Abundance Divine Beast in front of them, whose very blood and even aura carried the strong scent of Ming Yue, must have been familiar with Mingyue before Ming Yue was rescued by him and Nana.
"Soul Beast?" The Demon Empress raised her eyebrows slightly and replied in the same tone as before, "In the past."
"I'm a little curious, how did my son A-Yue, become the Medicine King you speak of?"
While curious about the changes in Ming Yue over the years, the Demon Empress was also puzzled by the development of the Abundance Cult.
"Your son?" x9
In an instant, the eight Celestial, together with Qian Renxue, surrounded the Demon Empress and Lan Fozi, their expressions turning hostile.
At this moment, however, he was pulled back to his senses by the fervent calls of the Pseudo-Abundance Followers.
Cai Mei'er and Xian Lin'er, who were standing in front of Ambrosial Arbor, also saw the tense scene in the air not far away next to Ambrosial Arbor.
"Who... who are these people?" Staring blankly at this bizarre scene that resembled a pilgrimage, amidst the continuous chants of "Medicine King's Compassion."
Xian Lin'er felt like this sentence was playing on repeat in her head.
"It appeared suddenly. It feels even more powerful than the teacher and Uncle Long!"
Looking at this scene with a solemn expression, Cai Mei'er was quite confused.
The academy where I grew up, along with all my teachers and elders, disappeared after this entity called Ambrosial Arbor came into existence.
She certainly harbored hatred, but after witnessing the condensation of the Jianmu Fruit, she felt absolutely no negative emotions towards Ambrosial Arbor.
They even instinctively longed for the Jianmu Fruit, which emitted a faint Emerald Gold Radiance.
"Master, master, look, they look like they're about to fight! Should we go protect the Ambrosial Arbor?"
At this moment, Ice Empress also looked at the scene in the sky next to the Ambrosial Arbor not far away, and tugged at Ming Yue's sleeve.
"Those two people who were surrounded... Bingbing, didn't you feel it?"
With her brows slightly furrowed, Snow Empress took a step forward, clearly sensing the faint aura of similarity emanating from both the Demon Empress and Lan Fozi.
"Are they also Abundance Divine Beast, sir? Hmm? Sir?"
Looking curiously at Ming Yue, she saw that he seemed somewhat dazed. Subconsciously, Zhang Lexuan squeezed his hand and called out softly.
"The Abundance Divine Beast are not only my blessings, but also my mother and sisters."
The Yinsheng carried a hint of nostalgia, and images of carefree memories from years past kept echoing in Ming Yue's mind.
"Mother and sister!?" x3
Staring at Ming Yue in shock, the three women could hardly believe their ears.
This exclamation also caught the attention of Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er. The two women exchanged a glance and then pricked up their ears to listen attentively.
"That happened when I was still quite naive. Haha, back then, my biggest life goal was simply to find them who had gone missing."
He chuckled twice and snapped his fingers, and all the ripe Jianmu Fruit flew towards him, which he collected.
He took out dozens of fruits and threw them at the dozens of large, unopened flower buds beside the Ambrosial Arbor.
Ming Yue continued, "We can't let them start fighting like this. We should..."
"Ming Yue!!!"
However, just as he was about to make a move, a clear and melodious shout came from afar, accompanied by a delicate and refreshing blue-haired figure that crashed straight into Ming Yue's arms!
This shout was clearly imbued with considerable energy, slightly interrupting the Pseudo-Abundance Followers who were originally on a pilgrimage.
The tense encirclement that had surrounded the Ambrosial Arbor simultaneously dispersed.
"Waaah! Ming Yue, Ming Yue, Ming Yue! Xiu Xiu, Xiu Xiu, I finally, finally, finally found you, waaaah!"
"You mean Ming Yue, you mean Ming Yue, you big Ming Yue! Mingdu Xiu Xiu's fault, but you insisted on keeping Xiu Xiu safe! You... Waaah!"
The little pink fists fell like raindrops, but the force within them was as gentle as raindrops falling.
A clear, melancholic voice, tinged with sobs, sounded from her arms, Ming Yue felt her chest become noticeably wet.
"Sir (Master x2)."
Staring blankly at this scene, Zhang Lexuan and the Ice and Snow Empresses simultaneously raised their jade hands.
"It's Xiu Xiu." Ming Yue smiled at the three girls and reached out to rub the head of the sobbing girl in her arms.
"Whoosh, Ming Yue ~" Bai Xiuxiu nuzzled Zhen's head and rubbed against him, feeling an unprecedented sense of security.
"Alright, alright, I'm fine now." While rubbing his head and smoothing his fur, Ming Yue continued softly, "Speaking of which, we should thank Xiu Xiu."
"If Xiu Xiu hadn't saved me back then, she wouldn't have completely handed over power and everything to me."
Human desires are truly insatiable.
Indeed, if she hadn't learned those lessons after experiencing the Pharmacist mother's eccentric actions, she wouldn't have so readily given Ming Yue everything.
Although Ming Yue always felt that she was still watching her, she realized that, as she had said before leaving, she was only paying attention to her and not exerting any influence.
"Ming Yue." She lifted her head from his embrace, her pretty face flushed and streaked with tears, still bearing the mark of guilt.
But just as she was about to say something more, a three-headed Auspicious Beast riding on Lie Yan clouds suddenly rushed out of the Star Dou Forest!
"Ming Yue!!!"
"Auspicious Beast!" x6
Another mature female voice, filled with a strong call, rang out, followed by five male and female Yinsheng with different timbres.
Just like the Bai Xiuxiu from before, the Auspicious Beast pounced towards the Ming Yue.
She transformed in mid-air into a beautiful young woman with long, wavy blonde hair, dressed in a gorgeous dress with gold accents.
In a flash, she pushed Bai Xiuxiu aside and tightly hugged Ming Yue's waist and back.
"Eh? Eh?"
She blinked her beautiful eyes instinctively twice, still a little Bai Xiuxiu and not quite reacting.
"Auspicious Beast, you mustn't! Come back quickly!"
"Auspicious Beast, what are you doing! Ouch!"
"Observe secretly, observe secretly! I've already said observe secretly! Why are you in such a hurry, you Auspicious Beast!"
"."
At this moment, Di Tian, Ten Thousand Demon King, the Scarlet King, Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, and Zi JI, who had arrived not far behind Ming Yue, all spoke up to offer their advice.
The Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Forest had already discovered it the moment the Ambrosial Arbor sprouted.
While they were lying in wait and observing, Ming Xi, who was already itching to make a move, couldn't hold back any longer after seeing Bai Xiuxiu arrive.
While Bi Ji and Zi JI were still distracted, he mustered all his strength and broke free from their guards.
With a leap, she transformed and pounced into Ming Yue's arms, pushing aside the still teary-eyed Bai Xiuxiu.
