Chapter 218 Don't Force My Hand

"How do you know that?" Lin Qi was startled. "Clearly you're just an Azoth pract.i.tioner, but you're actually able to see through my true form?"

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "You're a Qilin?"

Lin Qi was even more stunned, as he sized her up with a glance. "How do you know that?"

"It's hard not to figure out, alright?" Zhu Yao's face darkened. "Please, when you're trying to conceal your ident.i.ty next time, first change your name, alright?" Lin Qi, Qilin? You're thinking the entire world is illiterate, is that it?

And earlier, he had just admitted to it himself!

Lin Qi's expression sank. With a slightly anxious look, he glanced at Yi Ling at the back. Seeing that she was still breaking through a bottleneck and had not awaken from her trance, he heaved a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, he added a layer of protection barrier on her, and then glared at Zhu Yao.

"So what if you found out? As an offender of a G.o.d, I will not let you live in this world either." His expression turned cold, and a red light shone in his eyes.

"Mistress…" Sesame's head was instantly covered with sweat. With a pained expression, its hands stiffly cast an art, and several icicles instantly appeared in the surroundings, aiming at her. However, they did not move even after a long while. Suddenly, it gritted its teeth, and a streak of red blood flowed out from the corner of its lips. "Mistress, hurry… hurry and leave."

"Sesame!" Seeing it like this, it clearly still had its reason and did not want to attack her either. Sesame was simply being controlled, and Zhu Yao instantly felt something was wrong.

Lin Qi however loudly said. "Kill!"

In an instant, like arrows which had left their bowstrings, the icicles flew straight towards her. It was basically a three hundred sixty degrees concentrated shot without any blind angle to take advantage of.

Zhu Yao retreated in a flash and erected a defensive barrier. She desperately circulated the spiritual energy in her entire body, and was barely able to block against those icicles. Raising her head, she saw that even more icicles had risen around Sesame.

Sesame's actions were stiffening even more than before. It was clearly the one launching the attacks, but it seemed to be the one suffering the worst damage. Blood flowed profusely from the corner of its lips. "Hurry… Hurry and leave…"

The h.e.l.l, you're already in this shape, how are you expecting me to possibly leave you here and leave on my own?

It seems like this is the only way.

"Sesame, endure for a moment." Zhu Yao released her divine sense, and sensed all of the water spiritual energy in the air. Then, she gathered them together. At the instant the second wave of icicles came attacking, she activated the art. "Ice Seal of a Thousand Miles!"

In an instant, thick layers of ice spread throughout the hall, and was headed straight for Sesame. In an instant, Sesame was sealed in a gigantic rectangular block of ice. Zhu Yao cast an art, and immediately drew a seal on the ice. This was one of the seals Yue Gu taught her back then – Absolute Seal. It was similar to a binding formation, but more powerful. Even Devils would be unable to escape from within.

However, she had always used G.o.dly energy to establish this seal, and she presently had no choice but to use spiritual energy to activate it.

Though it had succeeded, the moment it activated, she suffered a rebound from the seal. She could seemingly hear the crackles from her Azoth Core cracking, as she puked out a large mouthful of blood.

"You sure have some capabilities, but…" Lin Qi coldly snorted, as lightning flashes once again appeared in his hands. "You're destined to die here today."

After saying that, with a grasp of his hand, dozens of purple colored lightning streaks came flying towards her from all directions like earthworms.

Zhu Yao wanted to flee from reflex, however, realizing that Sesame was behind her, she could only erect a barrier.

But in the middle, the lightning streaks suddenly turned into purple ball of flames that flew straight towards her. That DemiG.o.d might once again came a.s.saulting her from all directions, and Zhu Yao was rooted in her present spot, not able to move an inch.

Zhu Yao gritted her teeth. It seemed like she had no choice but to resist it head on.

Just as that fireball was about to envelop her, a black figure suddenly came cutting in from the side and hugged her in an instant, s.h.i.+elding her from the blow.

Zhu Yao suddenly widened her eyes greatly. Watching as the youth who was smiling ever so gently being submerged in the flames, a voice so light, as though it came from the distant skies, sounded. "Big Sis Yao…" She felt as though she was looking at that scene back then when she opened the World Crossing Heavenly Door. The scene where that white-clothed youth was reaching out a hand towards her, speaking to her with a pleading tone. "Little sister, be obedient! Come out, alright?"

"Yue Ying!" Zhu Yao grabbed onto the youth who was falling in her direction, and in an instant, she was so anxious she couldn't feel her own heartbeat.

However, he was still carrying that gentle smile, as though he was completely oblivious of his miserably burnt state. Green light flashed from his body, and a moment later, a charred black fruit landed in her hands.

"Yue Ying… Yue Ying!" She could feel the presence of Yue Ying's soul within the fruit, however she was still trembling from fear. If anything were to happen to Yue Ying… If anything were to happen to him…

She was simply unable to picture that possibility.

"Big Sis Yao, I want to nap a little." After a while, a familiar voice sounded from the depths of her heart. Only then did Zhu Yao's anxious heart calm down a little.

"Hmph, there's actually still someone who dares to activate the teleportation formation and sends himself here to die!" Lin Qi coldly snorted with a belittling look. "You pract.i.tioners sure are stupid."

"Are you done?" Keeping Yue Ying who had reverted back to his true form into her divine sense, she then slowly stood up. In an instant, she could only feel anger creeping up from the depths of her heart, and then, a pop sounded in her mind. Something had snapped. She had lived for so long, yet she had never been this furious in her entire life, as though every single cell in her body was clamoring, wanting to vent her frustration, to the point where boundless and endless energy suddenly surged from within her body. Coldly glaring at the man who was smiling complacently, she took a deep breath. "Then, are you prepared to kowtow and apologize?"

"What did you say?" Lin Qi's brows furrowed, as he stared at her with flaming eyes.

"Initially, seeing that you were a G.o.d, I didn't want to make this a huge fuss." Zhu Yao raised her hand, and said with emphasis on every word. "But in this world, there's always a few b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who don't know why flowers are so red without being taught a lesson!"

Zhu Yao's eyes sharpened. The fury and spiritual energy within her entire body were released in an instant. With a twist of her hand, that rainbow feather appeared on her palm, and a gigantic lightning phoenix had already appeared above her without her summons.

That rainbow feather seemed to have suddenly been activated, and with a flash of red light, a crimson fireball instantly covered it entirely, causing its shape to undergo a change. A moment later, it turned into a flaming long sword.

"That's… the Ruling Plume!" Lin Qi was startled, as he looked at her with a face of disbelief. "This… How is this possible? You're actually able to activate the Ruling Plume of the Phoenix clan. Could you be… a G.o.d as well?"

"I'm your mother!" Zhu Yao's body flashed, and with a swing of her hand, monstrous flames a.s.saulted Lin Qi. That lightning phoenix let out a long cry as well, as it flew towards him at the same time.

Lin Qi's first reaction was to dodge, s.h.i.+fting to the side. Unfortunately, the crimson flames were like chains, instantly entangling his legs and pulling him back with an abrupt jerk. An irresistible pressure instantly came pressing down on him, preventing him from moving even a single inch.

And at this moment, that lightning phoenix had already flown over. Transforming into countless streaks of lightning, it zapped his body charred and crisp.

Lin Qi puked out a mouthful of blood, and simply felt as though his organs were being torn apart. "How… How is this possible?" He was a G.o.d, one of the G.o.d race! How could there be possibly anything in this world that could harm him?

Forget about the Ruling Plume, since it was a G.o.d's artifact after all, but were these lightning streaks capable of harming him?

Lin Qi was thrown into disarray, as he immediately released a defensive barrier. Circulating the spiritual energy in his body, he summoned the purple flames that appeared before, and attempted to suppress the Ruling Plume's G.o.dly flames. However, they were completely ineffective. With a single wave of Zhu Yao's sword, the purple flames were instantly scattered.

He could only attack while being pushed back. Gritting his teeth, he instantly resorted to using his own Life Origin Fire – the purest form of energy belonging to Qilins. As expected, when the flames appeared, half of the surrounding G.o.dly flames brought upon by the Ruling Plume was extinguished. He expression looked joyous for a moment.

Suddenly, with a long sharp caw, the lightning phoenix once again charged straight down and directly swallowed those unique flames. Then…

It burped!

"…" This was illogical!

That lightning phoenix paused for a moment. Instantly, other than the lightning sparks on its body, purple flames began to appear as well, as though it had completely a.s.similated with his Life Origin Fire. Furthermore, on Zhu Yao's palm, a small bundle of purple flames appeared as well.

Lin Qi was instantly dumbfounded. His… His Life Origin Fire…

這絕對不是真的！

This was definitely not real!

Zhu Yao did not care about the warmth that suddenly appeared within her body. Currently, her entire mind was focused on wanting to beat this b.a.s.t.a.r.d in front of her eyes, to the point where his mother would not be able to recognize him. Seeing him stunned, she directly raised her leg, and kicked him away.

Making a groaning sound, like a shower head which had been sent flying, Lin Qi flew several meters away while puking out blood.

However, at the instant he was about to land, he was once again pulled back by the bundle of flames. Then, the lightning phoenix once again zapped him charred black. The situation repeated as such. For a moment, the place had turned into Zhu Yao's one-sided slaughtering ground.

Lin Qi expressed that he had already been completely abused and turned into a dog.

After a long while later, Zhu Yao finally retracted her own sword intent, and walked towards Lin Qi a step at a time.

Lin Qi was totally shaken, as he fearfully looked at the woman who had a completely darkened face, his entire body was trembling without end. Mommy, why hasn't anyone told me that human pract.i.tioners are this terrifying?

What demeanor? What pride? What respect for his own race? In an instant, he ate them all up.

With a thud, he knelt down with all his joints touching the ground. "Great G.o.ddess, I was wrong!"

Zhu Yao's feet stopped three steps away from him.

"Great G.o.ddess…" Lin Qi no longer had that mighty demeanor he had just moments ago, and his entire expression showed that he was filled with regrets. With snot coming out from his nose and blood flowing out of his mouth, he raised his head. "I was really wrong, great G.o.ddess please forgive me!"

"Wrong?" Zhu Yao stabbed her long sword to the side, and raised the corners of her lips, giving an especially gentle and kind smile. With a gentle voice, she said. "If apologies have any use, what's the need for police officers then!?" Her voice suddenly turned cold, and with her hand raised, she sent a punch to his face. Using strength from her entire body, she pummeled her fists onto that face of his, and every attack of hers sank deep into his skin.

“How dare you bully my Sesame!? How dare you motherfu*king harm my Yue Ying!?"

"Apologize? Do you think an apology can make up for their injuries?"

"I'm telling you, no way! The way you injured them, I will have you return everything back!"

"With the shoddy look you have, you dare call yourself a G.o.d!? If you dare call yourself a G.o.d again, I will beat you down to the point where you can't live on your own!"

"This is what you get for bullying people! This is what you get for acting all so tough!"

Zhu Yao had seemingly abandoned the use of any mystic arts completely, and was simply sending him fists after fists, giving him a ruthless beating as though he was trying to vent off her steam. She vented all of the earlier worries, fear, sadness, and pain onto that face of his, punching it from all different angles.

Chapter 219: Saving the World in Another Way

Lin Qi's face was already swollen to the point where his nose and eyes could no longer be properly distinguished. Mn. It was definite that his mother wouldn't be able to recognize him now. Only after Zhu Yao's hands had begun to numb and no longer had any strength left to throw her fists, did she finally stop while panting hard.

"Wuuwuu…" Lin Qi raised his piggy face and when he groaned, he received a glare from her. In an instant, his entire body released a white glow. It seemed like he had expended too much energy and wanted to revert back to his original form. As expected, not even a moment later, a puff sounded. That blue-robed figure disappeared, and in front of her, there was now a…

Chow Chow!¹

Zhu Yao: "…"

What happened to the promised Qilin?

"Aren't you a Qilin of the G.o.d race?" What's with this look of his?

。"Ey em! (I am!)" Chow Chow shrank its body.

"You think I'm blind!?" I didn't go to school, don't lie to me. "You think I haven't seen an actual Qilin? How can it possibly look like… a dog like you? Where are your scales? Your horns? Your hooves?" Although she was rather fierce with her punches earlier, it couldn't possibly mutate him, right!?

"Ey…Ey really am!" The Chow Chow pitifully sniffled. "Ey am the final beast with the Qilin bloodline. Mei haze (My race) had pa.s.sed the bloodline down through so many generations, so it's natural to have some changes in our appearances."

"…" This change is a little too much, right? You have basically mutated into another species, hey! "You're saying… You only carry the bloodline of a Qilin?" The heirs of the G.o.d race were never interested in other species before. Back then, when she opened the World Crossing Heavenly Door, she sent the G.o.ds to different small worlds. Could it be that because it could not find someone of its own race, it got married with someone from a different species and then…

Uh… Why did she feel that it was a little scary?

"So you're not a true G.o.d?"

"Ey em! (I am!)" The Chow Chow desperately nodded.

"Your a.s.s!" As someone who was once a true G.o.d, she simply did not want to be a relative to a Chow Chow, alright? "I'm warning you, in the future, if you dare to address yourself as G.o.d, I will pull out your skin!"

"…" Chow Chow Lin Qi shook. Suddenly, within his doggy eyes that were swollen like buns, tears swelled. As he sniffled, as though he had found something to vent on, he began to bawl out loud.

"Wuaaah… How can bully a G.o.dbeast like this? You're so inhumane! I don't want to live on anymore…"

"Shut up!" The h.e.l.l, what happened to your n.o.ble and cold demeanor? Do you have to cry this shamelessly?

"Wuaah… I simply wanted to hook up with a girl, yet you beat me up to this state. How are you expecting me to flirt now? I might as well die?"

Hook up with a girl? Yi Ling?

"Earlier, you wanted to kill me!"

"I just wanted to give a performance in front of the girl, would it kill you to just let me hit you a little!?"

"It would!" Zhu Yao coldly replied. "Earlier, you clearly wanted to kill me, right."

"Who says so!" Lin Qi was crying even sadder than before. "Earlier, I just wanted to frighten you a little. If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have controlled your demonic beast in the beginning while I simply stood at the side and watched the show."

He's sounding a little logical. "But you injured Yue Ying."

"That's because that person suddenly appeared, and I wasn't able to withdraw…" Lin Qi argued." I can't be blamed for that."

"Then why did you say that you won't allow me to leave this place alive?"

Lin Qi lowered his head, and was suddenly fidgeting a little. "I… I just wanted to act a little domineering. All girls like that type. There's a possibility that after she wakes up from her trance and see that scene, she might think of giving her heart to me, you know?" After saying that, he even meaningfully glanced at Yi Ling who was still in a trance state, and sighed. "You don't understand the sorrows of a single beast at all."

"…" I don't want to understand, alright? If you just want to flirt with Yi Ling, why did you drag me along too?

"Now that the truth is clear, can you return me my Life Origin Fire?" His face was filled with a pitiful look. "The Life Origin Fire is the source of a G.o.dbeast. Without it, I'm just a regular demonic beast."

Zhu Yao was startled. If it was truly as he said, then she seemed to have really misunderstood him, but…

"No!"

"Ah!"

"Everyone must take responsibility for his or her own actions." Zhu yao coldly said. "I don't care if what you said is true or false. Sesame and Yue Ying, they are both my closest people, and it's true that they are injured because of you. You can't simply say you didn't intend for it to happen and everything will be resolved. Even if you didn't have any evil intentions in the beginning, it's true that you attacked me. I'm not your mother, and I don't have the obligation to look over your mistakes. A mistake is a mistake. As long as the end result is a mistake, no matter how you good of a standpoint you started out from, you can't change the fact that it's a mistake. If you had the guts to do it, then you should have the courage to shoulder the consequences."

"…" Lin Qi lowered his head, his face was filled with despair.

"Finally, I will give you an advice. Yi Ling is not suited for you, she already has someone she loves." And it's not just one.

Lin Qi shook, and he suddenly widened his eyes. His face was filled with disbelief.

"Enough, hurry up and remove your control on Sesame." Zhu Yao did not have the time to manage his feelings.

Lin Qi carried a heart-broken expression. "I can't remove it."

"What?" Zhu Yao instantly picked him up from the fur on his neck.

"Rea… Really…" Lin Qi trembled. "I'm… I'm not a purebreed G.o.d, so I can only control, and do not have the powers to remove it. Furthermore… Furthermore, I have already lost my Life Origin Fire, so I have already lost my right as a G.o.d."

Zhu Yao was startled. As he said, the word 'bug' on his face had disappeared. He was no longer the Beast Lord? Then… The crisis of world destruction has been resolved?

That's too easy and random, right? She was just venting off steam.

"Then, how can the control on Sesame be removed?"

"Unless… Unless there's a bloodline suppression by someone who has a higher purity of a G.o.d's bloodline than me, or suppression by someone who is of a similar level."

Suppression? The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She had one!

But, for safety's sake…

"You… What are you trying to do?" Lin Qi shrank from her stares.

Zhu yao recited an incantation, and with a wave of her hand, she sealed the Chow Chow in ice.

After looking around and confirming that there wasn't anyone else, she heaved a huge sigh of relief. Haah, it seemed like she had no choice but to activate that vile World Favourable Impression ability.

Summoning a water mirror, she tapped on the b.u.t.ton above her head.

Then, Sesame walked towards Sesame who was sealed in ice, and snapped her fingers.

Seemingly in an instant, that thick block of ice completely turned into water.

"Mis… tress…" In an instant, the person the ice was stunned for a moment, and then, its eyes began to s.h.i.+ne. With wide steps, it pounced towards her.

And then, with a flash of white light, her right thigh sank, and a figure came clinging onto her. "Mistress, I feel that you're so tragically beautiful."

Before she could even react.

A tender and frail voice stole her opportunity to reply. "I feel the same way!" Her left thigh sank at the same time.

Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat.

Lowering her head, she saw a tender pink figure was tightly hugging onto her left thigh like Sesame. Using a tone filled with overflowing tenderness, she affectionately said. "I have never seen such a divine-looking woman like you."

"…"

Boom!

Zhu Yao felt as though lightning had struck her.

Ho… Hoho… Hohoho…

She must be dreaming! Definitely!
