Unintentionally transmigrated into a background villainess role, Yu Qing feels this is right up her alley – torturing the male lead and main heroine has to be fun, right?
But before she cou...
"Chu Jiang?!!"
Yan Qing's reaction was completely different from that of Dong Shen. Dong Shen was almost shocked and angry, while Yan Qing was overjoyed.
There's no other reason than that she was far more familiar with the master of this lightning spiritual power than the Cave God was.
This person was none other than her most trusted partner—Yue Qi.
Sure enough, a series of figures jumped down from the broken hole above. Leading them was Yue Qi.
Who are you?!
The cave god was terrified beyond imagination. He remembered very clearly that almost everyone in the entire mountain had died. How did these people come to be?
After Yue Qi jumped down, the first thing he saw was naturally the enormous lump of flesh belonging to the Cave God. However, one person almost completely captured his attention—
"Yan Qing, what are you doing here?!"
Yue Qi quickly came to Yan Qing's side, looked her over, and then let out a long sigh of relief.
"That's good—it seems that Chu Jiang didn't do anything to you."
Ever since Yue Qiyi appeared, Yan Qing's smile hadn't faded. Hearing his words, her smile only grew wider.
"Don't worry, I'm very lucky. A mere gold-rank title is nothing."
Seeing that she was still lively and energetic, Yue Qi felt much more relieved. He reached out and flicked her nose, then smiled.
"You're so naughty!"
"Tch!" A cold snort came from behind, and Yan Che walked over with a stern face, immediately giving someone a flick on the forehead. His anger level was almost at its maximum.
"You brat, your older brother has been working so hard to save you, and what do you do? You're flirting with other people here. Do you even respect me as your brother?"
Seeing her brother lose his temper, Yan Qing decisively stepped in, grabbing Yan Che's arm and refusing to let go, acting cute and charming.
"Brother, brother, I've missed you so much!"
Yan Che curled his lip, "I don't believe it at all, it's not sincere!"
At this moment, everyone behind them came down as well. When Wen Jiajia, who was covering the rear, helped Ami jump down, the cave god's bitter and resentful appearance finally began to relax.
As expected of the most loyal person to the cave god, Ami immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face.
"Lord Cave God, I've come to save you!"
Her shout made everyone forget about catching up and turn to look at her.
It seemed that everyone suddenly realized that the so-called Cave God actually had such a dignified appearance.
Looking at the enormous mass of flesh on the ground, so incongruous with the handsome young face, everyone felt a sense of absurdity.
"That cave god is so obsequious, is Amitabha blind?" Wen Jiajia voiced everyone's thoughts.
But Ami seemed not to have heard anything, her eyes filled with genuine affection as she looked at the cave spirit. At this point, everyone realized something was amiss.
Yan Qing gave Yue Qi a wink, and the two quietly moved away from the location of the cave god.
“I’ve met this Ami before,” Yan Qing said. “Back then, she was determined to become a maid in the Zhang family’s old mansion so as to ease the burden on her family.” Yan Qing spoke very softly.
“No!” Yue Qi whispered, “She’s the clan leader’s own sister, why would she be short of money? Besides, she’s been dead for decades, and she was the last Fallen Flower Cave maiden. Part of the reason we came here is to find her.”
"What?!" Yan Qing was also surprised. "This Ami, no wonder he looked a bit off, he was actually dead too? And dead for decades? How is that possible?!"
It's no wonder she was so surprised; she really hadn't taken Ami seriously, who was just a little girl.
“But if she is the real Fallen Flower Cave Maiden, then my mission makes sense.”
Her mission, which required her to choose between two options, demanded that she kill the Flower Cave Maiden. The Zhang sisters, whom she had encountered before and who had both died indirectly at her hands, were of no use in her mission.
It turns out that she had chosen the wrong target from the very beginning.
"Oh, right, and this too. I don't know if it will be useful to you?" Yue Qi took out a piece of black parchment from his pocket. It was blank, without a single word on it.
Yan Qing's eyes lit up. Wasn't this exactly what she had been looking for?
A spark ignited from his fingertips, and the black parchment turned to ash in an instant.
Amidst the ashes, several large, gleaming golden characters stood out prominently.
Yan Qing picked it up and discovered that the two pieces of parchment actually formed a sentence.
"Wuyun Mountain, trust Chu Jiang, he will lead you to me."
"Find me—what does that mean?" Yan Qing became even more conflicted. Could it be that this Falling Flower Cave female instance was not the end?
Yue Qi could tell from her expression that these words were very important to her.
"Yan Qing, is this your pass rule?" But are there black pass rules? This doesn't fit the setting of the supernatural world.
Yan Qing shook her head. "Actually, I don't know either, but someone must have deliberately told me that. —Oh, by the way, didn't you escape? Why did you come back?"
Yue Qi smiled bitterly, "We couldn't pass the level, so we had no choice but to accept the Great Witch's mission to find the Asura Netherworld Token—this item should be in the hands of the Cave God."
"The Asura Netherworld Token?" Yan Qing murmured to herself, "Could it be those eighteen small wooden plaques?"
"Yes!" Yue Qi exclaimed excitedly, "You've seen him before?"
"I've seen it," Yan Qing said, but she had a bad feeling. "This thing was originally used to suppress the cave god, but it's not with the cave god now."
"What?!" Yue Qi felt his heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but imagine the worst.
"This item is really not in the hands of the Cave God?!"
“Really!!” Yan Qing was very certain. “I saw it with my own eyes. More than a hundred years ago, that thing had already disappeared.”
"But the Great Shaman said that this thing is currently in Cangyun Mountain." Yue Qi was also undecided. Didn't this mean that they had taken another dead end?
While the two were talking, Sun Ning and his group had already begun negotiating with the Cave God.
Seeing how weak the Cave God was, everyone was almost certain that he was nearing the end. But the Asura Netherworld Token was a matter of life and death for everyone, and they had to get their hands on it.
The Cave God was quite straightforward. After everyone appeared, he was initially shocked, but then, for some reason, his mood suddenly became extremely good.
Even more outrageous, he made a direct request.
"Kill that person, bring the body to me, and the Asura Netherworld Token will be yours."
In the direction he was pointing, Yue Qi and Yan Qing were talking very seriously, completely unaware of the strangeness around them.
