Chapter 2554: Being Killed

"The Ten Golden Crows!" Wu Hui exclaimed, both startled and enraged at the sight. "How dare they! The Golden Crow Princes are supposed to take turns appearing as the sun each day, with their order strictly controlled. Now, they've all emerged together! Don't they know this will cause immense suffering and violate the Heavenly Rules?"

Zu An felt a sense of daze. This wasn't his first time experiencing the 'Ten Suns in the Sky' phenomenon, yet seeing it again still gave him a feeling of unreality.

He couldn't help but ask, "Although the previous Jedi Tiantong severed the connection between the Heavenly Court and the mortal realm, there are now ten suns in the sky. Has the Heavenly Court had no reaction at all?"

Wu Hui's expression soured. "You don't understand. A day in heaven is a year on earth; that's the difference between immortals and mortals. By the time the Heavenly Court notices these ten suns, enough time will have passed on the ground to cause countless deaths. No, I must immediately contact the various great deities still on earth."

Flames billowed around him. Just as he was about to fly off, he suddenly noticed Yun Yuqing. "Miss Yun, come with us."

As if knowing she would refuse, he secretly transmitted a message:

"Miss Yun, I know you're reluctant to leave your beloved, but what good will it do to stay by his side now? He has a goddess and a saintess with him, both of noble status and utterly stunning, no less beautiful than you. If you insist on inserting yourself between them, it will only make everyone awkward."

Yun Yuqing had been about to refuse, but she froze upon hearing his words.

Wu Hui pressed his advantage: "Men have a strange psychology: the nobler a woman's status, the more unconsciously he values her. I don't doubt the affection between you two, but diving in headfirst against two rivals of such noble status would indeed put you at a disadvantage."

Yun Yuqing's eyelids lowered slightly; clearly, her thoughts had been accurately read.

"But you needn't worry. Your bloodline is incredibly noble; it just hasn't fully manifested yet. Come with us, and we'll help you restore your true identity. By then, your status will be far more esteemed than theirs! When you return, you certainly won't be inferior to them in any way."

Sensing her hesitation turning into interest, his tone softened: "Furthermore, our journey is to contact powerful heavenly gods from various realms. You can build connections then, and in the future, you'll be able to mobilize more forces to help your beloved."

Hearing this, Yun Yuqing's eyes brightened, and she was finally persuaded. "Alright, but I'd like to speak with him alone before I leave."

Seeing that he had persuaded her, Wu Hui's mood significantly improved. He naturally wouldn't object, and so he led his golden-armored warriors to another spot to wait.

In his heart, he felt utterly cold. Such a noble bloodline must not be tainted by a mortal in the future.

Seeing that they wanted to speak privately, the Wushan Goddess and the Mermaid Queen thoughtfully moved away, leaving them alone.

After hesitating a few times, the Wushan Goddess finally couldn't help but look at the Mermaid Queen beside her. "Your man is being affectionate with another woman; aren't you jealous?"

The Mermaid Queen shook her head slightly. "I'm already very content just being with Big Brother."

The Wushan Goddess was stunned. The other woman was clearly breathtakingly beautiful and, having spent time with her, a wise and intelligent woman. Yet, at this moment, she seemed completely consumed by love.

Although she didn't understand, she was deeply shocked!

What kind of magic did that man possess to make such an outstanding woman so utterly devoted?

The Mermaid Queen also saw her puzzled expression but offered no explanation. How could the Wushan Goddess understand the situation between her and Big Brother Zu? They were originally from two different timelines, destined not to be together. Only by both arriving in this third timeline had they been granted this brief reunion.

She knew clearly in her heart that once they left this world and separated, it would likely be a farewell forever.

The time they had together was so precious, every minute and every second was invaluable; how could she possibly afford to be jealous or angry?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yun Yuqing recounted everything Wu Hui had just said to Zu An, a faint smile playing on her lips. "He truly underestimated the depth of our feelings, thinking those words would sway me."

Zu An was also a little surprised. "But you still agreed to go with them."

Yun Yuqing replied earnestly, "Because we have no one else in this world, and there's no harm in establishing a friendly relationship with the Heavenly Court through him. We still need to save Xiao Xi, and every bit of strength is important."

Zu An wasn't being overly sentimental either. Indeed, for rescuing Xiao Xi, one more person meant one more strength. Furthermore, this was an opportunity for Yun Yuqing. He took out a few talismans and handed them to her. "Keep this positioning talisman and warning talisman safe. If any emergency arises, activate the warning talisman. As long as the positioning talisman is with you, I can appear by your side very quickly."

"Ah, you're that powerful now?" Yun Yuqing exclaimed, both surprised and delighted, pressing the two talismans tightly against her chest.

"A new skill I've recently mastered," Zu An smiled. Not long ago, by combining the secret arts of the Wu clan with the Art of Rainbow Transformation, he could indeed arrive instantaneously if he knew the target's coordinates.

As for these positioning and warning talismans, they were developed earlier with Xie Daoyun.

Thinking of Xie Daoyun, his heart sank. He wondered where Yu Men Bei Qing was now, and where his true sister Ling'er was.

"Big Brother Zu, what's wrong?" Noticing his expression, Yun Yuqing couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Nothing," Zu An smiled. Yun Yuqing was already worried enough about Xiao Xi; there was no need to add more burdens. "Be careful yourself. I can see that Wu Hui and his people genuinely mean well towards you, but the Heavenly Court may not want to see us together."

Yun Yuqing was also intelligent and quickly grasped his meaning. "Mm, don't worry. You are more important to me than anything else."

With that, she threw herself into Zu An's arms, kissed him directly, then her cheeks flushed, and she scurried away.

Oh, that was a complete impulse just now, I didn't think much of it. But now that I recall it, kissing Big Brother Zu in front of those two girls felt a bit like she was asserting her claim.

The Mermaid Queen and the Wushan Goddess wore playful expressions, showing little overt reaction. Wu Hui, however, glared angrily at Zu An. Miss Yun was too deeply entangled; to ensure the purity of the Heavenly Court's bloodline, these two must never meet again.

Wu Hui's Rage value +300, +300, +300...

Immediately, with a wave of his hand, a fiery cloud appeared in mid-air, carrying his subordinates and Yun Yuqing away from the location.

Seeing Yun Yuqing look back longingly, Wu Hui urged the fiery cloud to fly even faster.

Watching the fiery cloud disappear into the sky at an unusually fast pace, the Wushan Goddess approached, a faint smile on her face. "Wu Hui seems afraid Miss Yun might change her mind."

"Vows as firm as mountains and seas are not so easily broken," Zu An said, looking at the Mermaid Queen. They exchanged a smile, their hands clasped tightly together.

Wushan Goddess: "..."

Good heavens, this guy's transition was so seamless and natural; there wasn't the slightest sense of awkwardness.

She hastily dismissed the jumbled thoughts in her mind. "Now, all clues point to that person. His status is special. Why don't you come back with me to Mount Wu, and we can ask the Six Enlightened Wizards to help contact various forces to deal with him together?"

She had always lived a secluded life and didn't have many acquaintances, unlike the Six Enlightened Wizards, who had extensive connections.

"Thank you, Goddess." Zu An also knew that Di Jun was certainly not someone he could handle alone.

The Wushan Goddess conjured a white cloud, gesturing for the two of them to come aboard.

Zu An, however, chuckled. "Returning to Mount Wu isn't that troublesome."

It was understandable before when he didn't know the exact coordinates of Mount Shouyang, but he remembered the precise location of Mount Wu clearly.

He immediately reached out, took her forearm, and then directly employed the Art of Rainbow Transformation.

A rainbow streaked across the sky, and in the next second, the three of them were back on Mount Wu.

Even though he had let go, the Wushan Goddess still seemed to feel the warmth on her forearm. Her porcelain skin flushed slightly. This fellow, just grabbing a girl's hand without a word?

For so many years, when had she ever had physical contact with anyone, let alone a man?

However, seeing the clarity in his eyes and knowing he harbored no ill intentions, she found it difficult to get angry.

Just then, the Six Enlightened Wizards suddenly appeared nearby in a fluster. The Wushan Goddess quickly asked what had happened.

The Six Enlightened Wizards were instantly surprised and delighted to see them, but then their faces fell. "Something terrible has happened! Nü Ba was burned to death by the Golden Crow Princes!"
