A drop of blood

Fire Nation Palace. ☠🐲 💝🐻

In the back garden.

Huo Ling'er wandered around the garden alone, admiring the flowers.

On the surface, she feigned a carefree, happy, sunny, and calm demeanor, admiring the garden's blooming flowers and beautiful scenery. But in her heart, she was constantly thinking about her Brother Qian Ye, wondering when he would come to see her. Today? Tomorrow? Or the day after?

Anyway, it won't be forever. Ugh! What am I thinking! Huo Ling'er quickly covered her mouth with her delicate hand to make up for the words she had accidentally said.

"It's been so long, why hasn't Brother Qian Ye come to see me yet? Has he forgotten me? He's such an outstanding person, there must be plenty of girls who like him, right? He wouldn't dare! I'm his fiancée. No, Brother Qian Ye will come to see me. Even if he doesn't, I'll go find him and bring him back." Huo Ling'er was lost in thought when she came to the pavilion by the pond.

I plopped down on a stone bench and leaned on the railing. I could see several large golden carp emerging from the water, each weighing ten or twenty pounds. They were swimming and playing happily, chasing each other, mouths agape. They looked so relaxed and happy.

"Little fish, if Brother Qian Ye and I were both little fish in the water, could we be together forever, always a pair, never to be separated?"

"How... how did you know?"

The Witch asked tentatively.

Then she took small steps towards him, striking a few alluring poses. For her, even in front of her enemy, she could still make him giggle.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be called Witch. Facing her enemy, Qian Ye, she's still so alluring; anyone who doesn't know better would think she's let him go. But who is Qian Ye? How could he not see through her little scheme?

However, it must be said that the Witch, currently only wearing a suit of armor, combined with her stunning beauty and innate Charm, truly has the kind of allure that makes it impossible for people to look away.

She possesses the appearance of Heavenly Fox Fairy, but with a more perfect figure and a more voluptuous physique.

Moreover, her entire body possessed a unique, radiant, and mysterious quality that the secondary Heavenly Fox Fairy lacked, leaving a lasting impression.

She was like a true fairy, untouched by the dust of the mortal world. Yet, she was different from a fairy, carrying Sisi of Witch charm. She was both a fairy and Witch, the two intertwined, and that was her true allure.

"I not only know these things about you, I also know this place."

"There's still a drop of blood on it. If it weren't for this cauldron, you wouldn't have found this place. And that blood-stained Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things arrived here by shattering the void. In fact, even someone of your level couldn't discern its origin."

"Perhaps it comes from the future, or it may be from the past; it could be from another dimension or the River of Time."

"However, that Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things came and went. If I'm not mistaken, there's only a drop of blood left inside, a drop of Emperor's blood."

Qian Ye thought to himself, that drop of blood was actually Shi Hao's future imperial blood.

The Heaven and Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things belongs to Ye Fan, the future Heavenly Emperor Ye.

"This might be a woman named Ye Qingxian."

"If you can see it, why can't I?" the Witch asked curiously.

Qian Ye added, "The Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things was deliberately transported from the future through the River of Time. As for who it is, you don't need to know. Even if you did, it wouldn't be of any use, and you can't go looking for them anyway."

"You're truly breathtaking. You even know that the Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things comes from the future. Is there anything you don't know?" the Witch teased him.

Qian Ye ignored her words and instead glanced at the Heavenly Fox Fairy behind him, pulling her close and embracing her from behind.

He rested his chin on her delicate shoulder again. "Let's put aside the things beneath the Myriad Things Soil for now. Let's talk about you and her."

The Witch glanced at the Heavenly Fox Fairy, clearly furious, and stomped her foot. "She... is ultimately my clone. It's either her or me; she's irreplaceable. She's already been defiled by you, and I will not merge with her. Therefore, she must be killed."

Faced with the Witch's words, the Heavenly Fox Fairy neither refuted nor spoke, but lowered her head, not daring to meet her gaze.

Qian Ye: "Don't speak so confidently, what if you're proven wrong?"

"Her? She slapped me in the face? How could that be?" The Witch looked incredulous.

"Don't say that. After all, she is your secondary body, a part of your body. Of course, from now on, she won't be anymore," Qian Ye said without being angry.

"She betrayed me, so why should I show her any mercy?"

Qian Ye didn't say much. He set up a protective barrier, then took out several pills and handed them to her. "Take one pill every time you reach a certain cultivation level. I guarantee you'll reap unexpected rewards."

"Mmm." The Heavenly Fox Fairy nodded, without saying anything more.

In front of the true form, her secondary form clearly lost its imposing aura.

Qian Ye then stepped out of the barrier. The pill he had just given to the Heavenly Fox Fairy was the On-the-Spot Ascension Nine Revolutions Heaven and Earth Pill. If a mortal ate one, he would immediately ascend to become an immortal, and if an immortal ate one, he could break through his bottleneck and reach a higher realm.

Qian Ye fed the Heavenly Fox Fairy to make her stronger; only by becoming stronger could she change the Witch's opinion of the Heavenly Fox Fairy.

"What did you do to her?" the Witch asked, looking at the Heavenly Fox Fairy inside the barrier.

Qian Ye smiled without saying a word: "You'll find out later."

The Witch didn't ask any further questions, but instead withdrew her gaze and shifted it to the Myriad Things Soil: "What do you plan to do with this Myriad Things Soil?"

Qian Ye didn't reply to her, but instead touched one of the rings on her finger.

Suddenly, Myriad Things Soil was completely taken away by the ring.

All that remains is a deep pit beneath Myriad Things Soil.

The Witch looked down and saw a woman lying there, dressed in armor. "Indeed, she is the owner of this burial ground."

Qian Ye glanced around and saw a woman lying inside.

Huh? In the blink of an eye, the Witch only saw the armor; the woman had vanished. "Where did she go?"

"Perhaps she's from the future," Qian Ye said.

"The future?" the Witch asked, puzzled.

Qian Ye nodded. "You can use this burial site as a teleportation point to travel from the River of Time to the present, just like the Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things River of Time saw."

"It can shatter the void to arrive here, carrying blood with it; naturally, it can also shatter the void to travel through the River of Time and return to the future."

The Witch pondered for a moment before saying, "You mean to say that someone in the future is controlling all of this? And that Cauldron of the Mother Qi of All Things was sent from the future by that person, who also took the woman from beneath the Myriad Things Soil with them and brought her to the future?"

"That's about it," Qian Ye said with a smile.

The Witch gasped, thinking to herself, "Someone with this kind of power must be at least Immortal Emperor level, right?"

"So, you can glimpse the past and the future?"

"More or less." Qian Ye wouldn't reveal that he had some understanding of the Perfect World storyline.

It's not just that secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, but making the Witch believe that she is just a supporting female character in a book is really difficult and hard to explain.

Even if the other party can accept it, I still don't want to say it.

I don't want to tell anyone anything about my time travel or the cheat system.

Everything else can be said, but this trump card will never be revealed under any circumstances.

Even in the closest of relationships, they would never mention it.

At the very least, this sense of mystery must be kept hidden, otherwise the persona you project to others will crumble.

Look, there

Qian Ye looked over and saw a drop of bright red blood.

A drop of abnormal blood.

Very strange.

This drop of blood must be the blood of Shi Hao in the future.

Qian Ye smiled, touched the drop of blood, and it immediately floated up.

Then, a scene appeared before the two of them.

It was the back view of one man, the back views of two men, and the back view of a young girl.

The man sat on a large bell, his back to all living beings, and together with several others, pushed out a cauldron and passed through the passage.

On one side Empress, whose beauty was unparalleled and who astonished all others. She held an unknown celestial artifact that was ever-changing, transforming into rings, blades, and all sorts of other things, radiating light and divine brilliance.

It struck the passage, propelling the cauldron forward.

There, a murderous aura filled the air; gods and demons clashed, the heavens and earth shook, blood splattered everywhere, and corpses littered the ground. Countless immortals and demons were locked in a chaotic battle.

Then, the image disappeared, leaving only that single drop of blood.

Qian Ye infused his energy, and instantly, the drop of blood turned to ashes.

That is the blood of Shi Hao from the future; it cannot be kept.
