237: Chapter 237

Rumor has it that in that mysterious and ancient place, there lies a hidden, unknown ancient secret realm, and it is said that a miraculous immortal-grade divine medicine grows within—the god spirit flower.

If Wu Yaoyao could be fortunate enough to encounter it, perhaps she would be able to successfully manifest a Luo God Physique like hers.

At this very moment, a fairy wearing a peach-colored immortal dress and a pink veil was whispering this beautiful wish to herself.

Just then, a crisp and pleasant voice came from outside the palace: "Holy Master, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong of the Xuanyuan Immortal Dynasty has come to visit again!" It turned out to be a beautiful woman who had come to report.

"Hmm, I understand, Chun He. Let him wait for a moment."

The fairy, sitting on a soft couch woven from thousands of immortal flowers, replied in a calm tone.

Afterward, she slowly stood up, gently straightened her slightly disheveled peach-colored immortal dress, stretched her graceful body, and instantly vanished from the spot without a trace.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Luo Shen, it has been a long time. I have come to disturb you again today!"

In one of the reception halls of the Luo Family, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong looked at the beautiful fairy in the peach-colored immortal dress who had suddenly appeared before him with a smile, and respectfully bowed to her.

This fairy's celestial appearance remained as peerless as ever, as if nothing in the world could compare to her, evoking a sense of awe that made one dare not harbor the slightest intention of offense.

"Speak, Brother Xuanyuan, what exactly have you come for?"

Fairy Luo Li parted her vermilion lips slightly, her voice as cold and clear as the sounds of heaven, yet it carried a trace of imperceptible pride and indifference, as if she were not moved at all by the fact that the person before her was the Human Emperor of Xuanyuan.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong was long accustomed to this, and facing Fairy Luo Li's attitude, he remained composed, stating directly: "I wish to obtain a stalk of immortal-grade Beauty-Preserving Flower."

"A divine medicine-grade Beauty-Preserving Flower? You dare to be so greedy!"

Fairy Luo Li's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a flash of surprise crossed her beautiful eyes; clearly, she was quite astonished that Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong would make such a request.

However, she knew well that this person's status was extraordinary, so she did not get angry, simply responding indifferently, "The Beauty-Preserving Flower of divine medicine-grade in my Luo Family is as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. However, we do have some reserves of saint medicine-grade Beauty-Preserving Flowers!"

After speaking, Fairy Luo Li pondered for a moment, her gaze fixed on Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong, and she continued: "As for the saint-grade Beauty-Preserving Flower, I fear it may not catch your eye."

Upon hearing this, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong shook his head and refused without hesitation: "The saint-grade Beauty-Preserving Flower is useless to me; only the immortal-grade can satisfy my needs. For this, I am willing to exchange this half-step Emperor Weapon!"

Before his voice had even faded, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong waved his right hand, and a sword radiating cold light suddenly appeared in the void. In an instant, sword qi crisscrossed, and a fierce, unparalleled Sword Intent shot straight into the clouds, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently, as if it were about to tear the entire world apart.

"Rumble—"

The blade of that half-step Emperor Weapon shimmered with a dazzling light, and its powerful Emperor prestige surged like a tidal wave, making one's heart palpitate uncontrollably.

Its appearance was simple and elegant, with dense, mysterious runes engraved on the blade, emitting an extremely profound aura, as if it contained endless power and secrets.

"Very well!" A crisp and pleasant voice came, as melodious as an oriole emerging from a valley.

Fairy Luo Li, with her celestial appearance and refined, otherworldly demeanor, furrowed her willow brows slightly, a strange look flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She extended her slender, jade-like hand and gently drew from the void; instantly, a purple divine flower radiating mysterious brilliance appeared out of thin air.

This multicolored flower was crystal clear, with starlight shimmering on its petals, as if it contained endless vitality and spiritual energy.

Fairy Luo Li parted her vermilion lips and tossed the divine-grade miraculous flower, known as the Beauty-Preserving Flower, through the air toward Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong.

At the same time, she used a divine ability to take the half-step Emperor Weapon from Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong's hand into her own.

"You seek the divine-grade Beauty-Preserving Flower—is it to win the favor of Master Shen Xi?"

Fairy Luo Li's beautiful eyes shifted, looking at Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong, who held the Beauty-Preserving divine flower in his hands, with a smile that was not quite a smile, her tone carrying a hint of imperceptible teasing.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong laughed heartily and did not hide it: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Luo Shen is truly intelligent; you guessed it right away. This younger brother seeks the Beauty-Preserving Flower indeed to gift it to Master Shen Xi, so as to win a smile from the beauty."

"It is only a pity that, I fear, the falling flower has intention, but the flowing water is heartless..."

Fairy Luo Li, dressed in her peach-colored immortal dress, sighed softly, her celestial voice echoing in the air like the sounds of heaven. Her expression was as elegant as a fairy's, seemingly indifferent to everything in the world.

After speaking, Fairy Luo Li's figure gradually merged into the void and disappeared.

A moment later, she had returned to the interior of the palace, as if she had never left at all.

Watching the direction in which Fairy Luo Li had departed, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoist Luo Shen is always so cold; it is truly difficult to get close to her!"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong stared intently at Fairy Luo Li's receding back, took a deep breath, and the faint fragrance lingering in the air intoxicated him, causing him to whisper involuntarily.

Then, he shook his head gently and bowed to the people of the Luo Family to bid them farewell.

In truth, he deeply desired to discuss the mysteries of the Dao with Fairy Luo Li, but she always seemed to keep him at a distance, never giving him any opportunity.

Counting it up, he had visited the Luo Family many times, yet every conversation with Fairy Luo Li was extremely brief, often consisting of only a few words, and the time had never exceeded a quarter of an hour!

"Master Shen Xi was able to fight two Ancient Supremes in the Battle of the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion in Leizhou; such a peerless person—how could someone as sentimental as Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong be worthy of her?"

At this moment, Fairy Luo Li had long since shed her previous high and unreachable, icy-cold demeanor, replacing it with a leisurely and lazy air.

Her divine sense spread throughout the entire Luo Family estate like a tidal wave, and upon sensing that Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong had already gone, she could finally no longer suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart and began to complain in a low voice.

"Oh well, I will just give this half-step Emperor Weapon to Wu Yaoyao as a gift; I believe that one day in the future, it will come in handy for her!"

While speaking, Fairy Luo Li carefully stored the Emperor Weapon sword, which she had obtained in exchange for a rare treasure, into her own cave heaven.

Then, she lay back down on that quasi-Emperor profound artifact.

"Mother, since you are unwilling to leave with me, then this daughter can only take her leave first. But do not worry, when the time is right in the future, this daughter will definitely return to visit you!"

Inside the imperial palace of the Great Qin Dynasty, in a small pavilion in the middle of a lake, a stunningly beautiful fairy wearing a dark cyan glazed immortal dress—Wu Yaoyao—was gazing affectionately at the woman before her, Wu Anran, and said softly.

Wu Anran looked at her beloved daughter, who was about to go on a long journey, with deep reluctance, her eyes revealing endless love and concern. She took Wu Yaoyao's hand and instructed her softly: "Yaoyao, be very careful when you are out and about. Cultivation is important, but do not forget to take care of yourself and ensure your own safety."
