274: Chapter 274 The Secret of the Jade Transformation Child Granny

"Hah—!!"

Hua Mei suddenly sprang up, her eyes filled with terror. Cold sweat poured down her forehead, mixing with the mud as it fell, but she had no time to care. She just kept gasping for breath, her face etched with horror.

Huff... huff...

It took a long time for Hua Mei to calm down slightly...

"You're awake?"

Nearby, Bai Xiyin spoke indifferently.

"Hah—!"

"Don't—don't absorb me—!!"

Hua Mei suddenly curled her body up, burying her head tightly between her legs.

She kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to look.

Her legs and hands were trembling. She kept weeping, letting out pitiful pleas...

"Matriarch... I was wrong... don't absorb me... don't..."

Bai Xiyin was stunned.

Hua Mei's current appearance was like a completely different person compared to before...

Just how much of a shock had she suffered?

"Sister Hua Mei, it's me... Bai Xiyin..."

Hua Mei shuddered.

The sound of weeping gradually stopped. She slightly raised her arms, a weak glimmer in her eyes peeking through the gaps, finally seeing that purple figure...

It wasn't Child Matriarch Jade Transformation, but Bai Xiyin...

"Xiyin... is it really you...?"

"It's me... Hua..."

Before she could finish speaking,

Bai Xiyin felt a sudden rush of warmth and softness.

Hua Mei rushed forward, clutching Bai Xiyin tightly and burying her head in her chest, weeping and complaining incessantly.

Like a drowning person grasping at a life-saving straw...

"Xiyin... save me... please save me..."

"It's so scary... there's nothing there... only laughter... pitch-black laughter..."

"I don't want to go back... Xiyin... please save me, okay? Please... as long as I don't have to go back... I'll do whatever you want..."

Hua Mei's voice was intermittent, filled with pleading and agony.

Bai Xiyin sighed softly.

She didn't know what had happened, but Hua Mei had clearly suffered unimaginable torture.

Otherwise, a Heavenly Monarch who was about to step into the Emperor Realm wouldn't be like this...

At this moment, Hua Mei was like a startled lamb, fragile enough to shatter at a touch.

She could guess that this was most likely related to the Jade Transformation Life Breath. Child Matriarch Jade Transformation had occupied her body, and her own consciousness must have gone to an unbearable, terrifying place...

"Sister Hua Mei, we know you've been secretly taking care of Senior Sister and me all these years... Don't worry, I'll ask Senior Brother to save you..."

"To Senior Brother, the Jade Transformation Life Breath is nothing. The ones inside Senior Sister and me have already been removed..."

Hua Mei's body jolted.

She finally raised her head, her face pale and her eyes brimming with tears, looking at Bai Xiyin pitifully...

"Xiyin, will your Senior Brother... really save me...?"

Bai Xiyin pursed her lips and gave a reassuring smile.

"If it were anyone else, Senior Brother wouldn't save them, but Senior Brother dotes on me the most. If I go and beg him, he will definitely save you..."

"If all else fails, I'll just act cute...!"

Hearing this, the panic in Hua Mei's eyes finally lessened a bit.

"Sister Hua Mei, let's go wash up first. We should go see Senior Brother all clean and tidy, okay?"

Hua Mei nodded, but she still wouldn't let go.

Bai Xiyin sighed softly.

"Then... I'll help you wash..."

As she spoke, orbs of spiritual liquid floated up, enveloping the two of them...

...

"Senior Luo, can you do this or not?"

"It's been fifteen minutes, and you still haven't succeeded!"

Qin Tian looked at Luo Yuan with a face full of doubt.

"Cough, what's the rush? If you want to perform a targeted jump across Trial Grounds, it's bound to take some effort, isn't it?"

"Also, don't call me Senior. I'm not much older than you. Call me Big Brother Luo!"

"Qin Tian: ..."

This Dragon is already in the Longevity Realm, yet he claims he's not much older. Who is he trying to fool?

"Yes, yes, Big Brother Luo. My Junior Sister's situation is very urgent, please hurry up!"

Luo Yuan smiled. "Don't worry, that Junior Sister of yours is very capable. She has already turned peril into safety. The fellow who occupied someone else's body was driven away long ago."

Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Luo Yuan had ways to sense what was happening in other Trial Grounds by spending some effort.

He just couldn't interfere; it wasn't that he couldn't reveal information.

Now.

Fourth Junior Sister should be safe for the time being...

"Alright, alright!"

His voice echoed as a water-blue spatial gate opened.

Luo Yuan smiled. "Go on, your Junior Sister is on the other side."

With a thought, Qin Tian stepped into it.

As soon as he entered, he saw two figures enveloped in spiritual liquid...

!!!"

Luo Yuan, who was about to follow from behind, was pushed back by Qin Tian.

"Avert your eyes!"

"Wait a while before you come in!"

"Luo Yuan: ???"

On the other side, Bai Xiyin's eyes instantly lit up.

"Senior Brother!"

Her sweet voice echoed.

Qin Tian raised his hand, and a spiritual mist covered Bai Xiyin's body. Then he looked straight at Hua Mei.

His gaze was filled with killing intent!

Hua Mei's body trembled.

"Senior Brother, she's not a bad person. She has been taking care of Senior Sister and me these past few years..."

Hearing this, Qin Tian relaxed, and his killing intent faded.

Bai Xiyin broke free from Hua Mei and leaped directly into Qin Tian's arms.

"Senior Brother, I missed you!"

"Mwah!"

A warm touch lightly brushed Qin Tian's lips.

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile.

"Junior Sister, business first."

" All right..."

Hua Mei was a bit dazed.

The deep affection between Bai Xiyin and Qin Tian made her feel a bit envious...

"Brother Qin, can I come in now?"

From outside the blue gate, Luo Yuan's voice rang out.

Bai Xiyin was curious. "Senior Brother, who is it?"

"A Dragon."

"A Dragon?"

"A Dragon!!!"

Could it be someone from the Dragon Palace?

Hua Mei's expression changed.

Luo Yuan walked in slowly, looking somewhat lazy. He just gave a faint glance and said nothing.

"Senior Brother, Sister Hua Mei also has Jade Transformation Life Breath in her body. Can you help her remove it?" Bai Xiyin blinked her eyes, her face full of expectation.

"I can."

Qin Tian did not hesitate.

How could there be any option to refuse his Junior Sister's request?

He looked up at Hua Mei.

"You should be glad that Junior Sister pleaded for you. Otherwise, you would be a dead woman by now."

"Tell me everything you know about Child Matriarch Jade Transformation, and I will help you remove the Jade Transformation Life Breath from your body and give you back your freedom."

Hearing the word 'freedom', Hua Mei's eyes brightened slightly.

"Okay..."

"I will tell you everything I know...!"

"The Matriarch... no... that old hag is hiding a huge secret!"

"A secret related to being Undying and Indestructible!"

Luo Yuan and Bai Xiyin both looked up, curiosity showing in their eyes.

Qin Tian was puzzled. "Undying and Indestructible?"

"Longevity Beings can already achieve that..."

Hua Mei shook her head.

"It's not longevity, but true immortality—where even if the body is shattered, the Divine Soul is obliterated, and the aura is completely gone, one can still be resurrected..."

"The Hua Yu Immortal Profound Art is one of the Opportunities she obtained from that secret..."

Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.

"How did you find out about these secrets?"

Hua Mei sighed. "I was controlled by her when I was only in the Grotto-Heaven Realm, and it has been thousands of years since then... I have always wanted to escape, so I began to secretly collect information about Child Matriarch Jade Transformation and the Hua Yu Immortal Profound Art..."

"The information I obtained was extremely fragmented, but when countless fragments are pieced together... one can always see a glimpse of the truth..."
