110: Qingyun Fairy's request to repair the Rainbow Scale Queen

Fairy Xue Yue smiled slightly, "Yes, it is quite fated."

"Cao Meng, the seven Immortals from Qingyun were invited by me," Xuanyuan Baizhi explained with a smile.

"The Yinkui Demonic Sect's scheme to seize the Great Liang's Luck was thwarted by us. I was worried they would seek revenge, so I notified Qingyun Mountain."

"So that's how it is."

Cao Meng chuckled.

My Master, the Holy Empress, still doesn't quite trust my strength.

"Fairy, how much does your Qingyun Mountain know about this Yinkui Demonic Sect?" Cao Meng asked curiously.

"We don't know much."

Fairy Xue Yue said, not without shame, "If Her Majesty the Empress hadn't notified Qingyun Mountain, we wouldn't even know such a force existed in the Eastern Continent."

"But Your Majesty, please rest assured. Slaying demons and eliminating devils is the duty of the Qingyun Immortal Sect. With us here, this group of evil demons won't be able to stir up any trouble."

"Then I thank you very much."

Xuanyuan Baizhi smiled charmingly, then instructed the female guard captain outside the hall, "Someone, lead the Immortals from Qingyun Mountain to see the deposed Crown Prince. Have him relay all the information he knows to the Qingyun Immortals."

"Yes!"

The female guards, wearing tight-fitting silver soft armor, quickly walked in and bowed to the seven people. "Esteemed Immortals, please follow..."

Fairy Xue Yue smiled slightly and said to Xiao Changtian, "Senior Brother Xiao, you all go ahead. I still have something I need to discuss with Brother Cao."

"Junior Sister, please do as you wish." Xiao Changtian glanced at Cao Meng, deep hatred hidden in his eyes.

After the six Disciples of Qingyun left.

Fairy Xue Yue suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Cao Meng.

Cao Meng was instantly astonished, "Fairy, what are you doing? Why are you performing such a grand bow for no reason?"

Fairy Xue Yue looked steadily at Cao Meng and said seriously, "Besides slaying demons and eliminating devils, I have one more matter I need to ask Brother Cao to help with."

Cao Meng: "What kind of help? Fairy, please tell me."

Fairy Xue Yue: "I reported the matter of Brother Cao succeeding the White Deer Holy Master to the Sect Master and the Spirit Venerable. Senior Martial Uncle, the Sect Master, heard that Brother Cao can control the True Fire of the Sun, so he would like to invite Brother Cao to the Qingyun Immortal Sect. There is one matter that requires Brother Cao's assistance."

"Is it related to the True Fire of the Sun?"

Xuanyuan Baizhi asked curiously, "Could it be for healing injuries and saving someone?"

Fairy Xue Yue hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "That's right, it is to save someone. Many years ago, a Senior of our sect and his guardian Spirit Venerable traveled to Gu Yunmeng. They encountered danger along the way, and that Senior was injured by an extremely cold demonic entity and has been frozen ever since... The Sect Master said that to save that Senior, someone capable of controlling the True Fire of the Sun must take action."

"That person isn't a woman, is he?" Xuanyuan Baizhi pressed on.

Fairy Xue Yue glanced at Xuanyuan Baizhi, wondering why she asked this question. Was the gender important?

"Well, no, he isn't..."

"Oh, it's best that he isn't," Xuanyuan Baizhi said subconsciously.

Best that he isn't?

Cao Meng was speechless. This woman really was... "Helping to save someone is no problem, but I've been quite busy lately..."

Fairy Xue Yue quickly said, "If Senior Brother Cao has other matters, he can attend to them first. It's fine to go to Qingyun after you're done."

Cao Meng: "Alright, once I finish the matters I have at hand, I will go to Qingyun Mountain with you."

"Then thank you very much, Brother Cao." Fairy Xue Yue was overjoyed and immediately bowed in gratitude.

Cao Meng: "Fairy, you are too polite."

After chatting for a while, Fairy Xue Yue bid farewell and left.

Because of the Yinkui Demonic Sect and the Scarlet Flame Devil Head incident, the Seven Sons of Qingyun would remain in the Great Liang for a period to investigate. For this purpose, Xuanyuan Baiying specially prepared a residence for them outside the palace, named the Qingyun Villa...

"You seem very familiar with this Qingyun Fairy Xue Yue?" Xuanyuan Baizhi said teasingly the moment Fairy Xue Yue left.

Cao Meng nodded, "It's alright, I've met her twice."

"Oh, you're that familiar after only two meetings?" Xuanyuan Baizhi chuckled. "Do you have feelings for her?"

"No, definitely not."

Cao Meng shook his head repeatedly. To be honest, this Qingyun Fairy was indeed blessed with immortal skin and jade bones. Purely based on appearance, she wasn't much inferior to Xuanyuan Baizhi, the Holy Empress. However, Cao Meng felt that he still preferred someone like Xuanyuan Baizhi.

"Never mind, I won't tease you anymore."

Xuanyuan Baizhi shook her head and drew the xuanyuan sword from her waist.

Cao Meng looked and noticed that the cracks on the xuanyuan sword seemed much fewer than before, and the Sword Intent was also more condensed.

Xuanyuan Baizhi: "I used Xuanyuan True Blood to perform a blood sacrifice on this xuanyuan sword, and it has finally recovered a bit of its Human Emperor Sacred Artifact splendor. However, I still need your help to temper it using the True Fire of the Sun..."

"No problem, leave it to me." Cao Meng took the xuanyuan sword, then took an innate fire lotus seed from the immeasurable sword gourd and handed it to Xuanyuan Baizhi.

"Such pure Fire Origin, what is this?" Xuanyuan Baizhi exclaimed in surprise.

Cao Meng said smilingly, "An innate fire lotus seed, a reward from the underground palace this time. If you eat it, Master, your cultivation can at least achieve a Breakthrough to the Mid-stage Saint Domain..."

"This, this is too precious. You should use it..." Xuanyuan Baizhi said, intending to return the lotus seed to Cao Meng.

Cao Meng: "Master, I have more. Just take it."

"Alright!" Xuanyuan Baizhi accepted the fire lotus seed, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly kissed Cao Meng's cheek like a flash of lightning. Then, she transformed into a wisp of fragrant air and headed to the rear palace.

Cao Meng was stunned. He gently touched his cheek, a smug smile appearing on his face.

At this moment, the voice of Empress Xuanyuan came, "Stay in the Zixiao Palace for the next few days and serve as my Protector. Once I awaken the spirit of the xuanyuan sword, you can go wherever you wish."

"Empress? Heh heh, she's no different from a little girl."

The Empress specifically arranged for Cao Meng to stay in the Yuxiu Palace, which was Xuanyuan Baizhi's bed-chamber when she was Empress.

"What does this mean? Is she treating me like her secret Empress?"

Cao Meng looked speechlessly at the silver-armored female guard captain in front of him. This captain was named Xuanyuan Wugou, a Disciple of Xuanyuan Beizhi, the chief guard of the Imperial City, and also Xuanyuan Baizhi's first Disciple.

In other words, Cao Meng had gained another Senior Sister.

However, this Senior Sister was extremely cold, like an iceberg, completely unlike the gentle and welcoming Senior Sister Qing Luan.

Xuanyuan Wugou acted as if she hadn't heard Cao Meng's inappropriate joke, glancing at him indifferently, "If Junior Brother has nothing else, I will leave."

"I'm fine, you can go now!" Cao Meng waved his hand.

"Yu Mo, stand guard outside!" As soon as Xuanyuan Wugou left, Cao Meng instructed the Red-Clothed Demoness Yan Yumo, then, with a thought, appeared inside the immeasurable sword gourd.

In the center of the grassy plain within the Sword Gourd Space, a three-foot-long Heaven Swallowing Python, shimmering with colorful spiritual light, tilted its head back and looked at this unfamiliar world with confusion.

The moment Cao Meng appeared, the little snake acted as if it had seen its father's murderer. With a whoosh, it transformed into a colorful rainbow, shooting straight towards Cao Meng.

"Oh, Your Majesty the Queen has quite a fiery temper."

Cao Meng chuckled. With a thought, the Colorful Scaled Small Snake was frozen in place, unable to move, less than a foot away from Cao Meng's face.

He pinched with two fingers, gently gripping the seven-inch vital spot of Heavenly Emperor Xiao's future wife.
