Chapter 148 Xi'er's Illusion
After entering the Trial Tower and separating from the others, Xi'er looked around and found that she had come to a hillside with abundant spiritual energy.
The mountains and fields were covered with wildflowers, so beautiful it seemed otherworldly, like a fairyland.
She looked down and examined the flowers closely, and was surprised to find that most of them were varieties she had never seen before.
The few that she had seen were not ordinary items; they were actually high-level spiritual plants.
Her first thought was that this must be an illusion.
When she thought of the illusion, her first thought was to summon Fusheng and Ruomeng.
Previously, the two of them, along with three contracted purple demons and Hong Yuan, were all sent into the Trial Tower by Ye Tanji to improve their strength, but they have not yet come out of the Trial Tower.
This time, she entered the Trial Tower with the intention of completing the trials and then taking them with her.
But at this moment, she entered the illusion and thought of summoning Fusheng and Ruomeng first. With the two magical butterflies that are good at creating illusions, breaking the illusion should be easy.
However, Xi'er tried to summon them three times in a row, but was unable to contact them.
It seems that this illusion also has the function of isolating everything.
Xi'er didn't panic, after all, this was the trial tower of the Night Pool Palace, and it wouldn't really harm her as a trial participant.
With a "what's done is done" attitude, Xi'er began to leisurely wander through the sea of flowers.
After walking for a few minutes, she finally realized belatedly that her long legs had turned into short legs!
Looking at my own hands, they clearly belong to a five- or six-year-old!
This illusion is truly powerful; it not only allowed her to see all sorts of precious spiritual plants, but also transformed her into a chibi-style little girl!
The seventeen-year-old girl had turned into a chubby little girl, and Xi'er really couldn't accept it for a while.
Just as she was feeling down, she saw a sudden tremor in the depths of the flower field, and then she saw a chubby little animal crawl out of the flowers.
The little animal walked slowly, sniffing as if it were smelling something.
Soon, the little beast locked onto the direction, took short strides, and happily ran towards Xi'er.
It runs very fast, which is completely inconsistent with its chubby body.
Xi'er felt a gust of wind and before she could dodge, the little beast rushed into her arms, knocking her, who had three heads, to the ground.
She was a little annoyed and couldn't help but complain, "Hey! Whose pet are you? Don't you even watch where you're going?"
"Huh? Bai Xi, you little ingrate, how could you forget about me after just a few days?"
The little fat beast immediately bristled, jumped off her arms to the ground, and rolled around and threw a tantrum.
Xi'er was baffled by its antics. After a closer look, she exclaimed, "Hey! I didn't expect it to be Hongyuan!"
"Hongyuan! It's only been a short time since we last met, how did you get so fat?" Xi'er reached out her little hand to touch the silver-blue fur on the back of its neck, and then pinched each of its six little wings on its back.
Having his grudge appeased, Hong Yuan finally got up from the ground, glaring at her and saying with dissatisfaction, "Bai Xi, you think I'm fat, so I'm not going to be friends with you anymore."
Xi'er always felt that what he said was strange.
The little beast in front of him was clearly Hong Yuan. He was the only one of their six-winged unicorns, so it couldn't be his brother or sister.
But he always called her Xi'er before, so why is he calling her Bai Xi now?
But now is not the time to worry about these things. Xi'er stroked its fur again and asked, "Hongyuan, why can't I contact Fusheng and Ruomeng, but you are here?"
"Bai Xi, you're such a flirt! I told you to be with me and not to pay attention to those two ugly butterflies. How come you're already thinking about them after only meeting me for a short time?" Hong Yuan started getting angry again.
"Who are you calling an ugly butterfly? We are clearly the most beautiful rainbow butterflies in heaven and earth, okay?" A huffy girl's voice came from behind; it was Ruomeng, whom Xi'er had been unable to contact.
However, ever since they transformed, they have always appeared in human form, but this time they actually appeared in their true form.
Furthermore, as soon as the two iridescent holy butterflies appeared, they flapped their wings at the same time in a very unfriendly manner. Fusheng fanned the scale powder into Hongyuan's eyes, while Ruomeng used her wings to pat its unicorn horn.
This made Hongyuan rub her eyes frantically, and tears streamed down her face.
"Alright, alright, please, this is the Trial Tower, can you please stop fighting?" Xi'er quickly stepped in to mediate.
"Bai Xi, are you still half asleep? What Trial Tower? Isn't this the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers?" Ruomeng asked, flapping her wings and circling around her.
"What? Valley of a Thousand Flowers?" Xi'er frowned, feeling that she must have been deceived by this illusion.
She is now beginning to doubt that Fusheng, Ruomeng, and Hongyuan are not real.
They were likely fabricated by the illusion based on her memories.
"By the way, Bai Xi, did you sneak out to play again today while your dad was bothering your mom?" Hong Yuan finally asked, rubbing the dust off his eyes.
Xi'er found it increasingly strange.
No, this isn't Hong Yuan; he would never say something like that to her.
Moreover, Hongyuan wasn't familiar with her parents, so how could she possibly make such a joke?
Before Xi'er could answer, Ruomeng interrupted, "Who in the entire Divine Realm doesn't know that Lord Lanpo of the White Feather Goddess's family only has his master and partner in his heart and eyes?"
If you ask me, Bai Xi is only this big because she survived on the wind and dew!
"Alas! Poor Bai Xi, why don't you just come with me? My cave is big enough, you can stay with me, and we can play together every day." Hong Yuan sighed in an old-fashioned manner.
"Get out of my way! You scheming beast, even if Bai Xi wanted to run away from home, she would definitely come with me!"
"We have plenty of empty rooms at Night Pool Palace. Bai Xi can stay in whichever room she likes; she's not going to stay in your stinky cave!"
Suddenly, a boy appeared, kicked away the chubby cub Hongyuan, and casually used his sleeve to brush away the two iridescent holy butterflies surrounding Xi'er, then took Xi'er's hand.
"Who, who are you?" Xi'er asked in surprise.
This was the first person to appear in her illusion, and also the only stranger.
"Bai Xi, are you playing the amnesia trick on your brother again? Let me tell you, I won't fall for it this time!" the boy glared at her.
Xi'er was a little confused.
The boy's features looked somewhat familiar, but she was certain she had never seen him before.
Because he was so exquisitely handsome, if she had seen such a good-looking boy before, she would never have forgotten him.
The chubby cub Hongyuan jumped up from the ground, directly knocking the boy aside, and said:
"Ye Tanji, even if you are the young master of Ye Tan Palace, I will not allow you to be mean to Bai Xi!"
She's under my protection, Hongyuan!
Hmph! Let me tell you, she's the female I've set my sights on!
"Once we're both adults, I'll mate with her, and then we'll become mates and have a bunch of little six-winged unicorns!"
Xi'er: What kind of wild and insolent words is this cub uttering?!
If it weren't for the fact that it was still young and didn't understand anything, she would definitely have given it a good scolding!
Just as Xi'er was thinking of disciplining the little beast, the boy had already unceremoniously raised his hand and cast a golden ring, which landed on the little beast's horn.
The next second, the golden ring tightened further, and the six-winged unicorn fell to the ground, struggling and crying out in pain: "Ouch! Ouch! It hurts so much!"
The little creature's silvery-blue fur was covered in dust from rolling on the ground, and its six little wings flapped weakly, as if it wanted to fly but couldn't.
His heterochromatic eyes, one bright red and the other bright silver, were now bloodshot, making him look quite disheveled!
Xi'er: Isn't this boy a bit too vicious?
Wait, something seems to have been overlooked?
Before she could think it through, Xi'er rushed over to break up the fight.
"Stop hitting! Stop hitting! Please, all of you behave yourselves! Otherwise, if my parents come looking for us, we'll all be in trouble!" Unable to persuade them, Xi'er could only resort to scare them.
Surprisingly, these words actually had a deterrent effect, and the boy reluctantly accepted the gold ring.
Xi'er leaned closer to take a closer look and saw that the fleshy horn encircled by the golden ring clearly had a burn mark on it.
Hongyuan was still crying out in pain, her eyes filled with tears; she looked quite pitiful.
Xi'er couldn't help but shake her head and say, "I'm not trying to criticize you, but Hongyuan, you're just a little cub. I don't know who you learned from to say such nonsense."
"Be good from now on, and don't you dare spout that nonsense about partners like adults do. If my dad hears you like that, he'll beat you to a pulp, you little brat!"
"What is Xi'er saying? What did this little cub say? Why would I, an adult, beat up a little cub for no reason?"
A familiar voice suddenly appeared beside her, and Xi'er immediately turned around excitedly and shouted, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
The next second, she was picked up by a pair of strong hands and placed directly on their shoulders.
Xi'er turned her head and looked closely, and found that although the voice belonged to her father, his face had changed.
Her originally deep blue eyes turned ice blue, and her short silver hair grew into long silver hair that reached her waist.
In Xi'er's mind, her father was the most handsome man in the world, but the man in front of her was even more handsome than her father.
His temperament, in particular, is like pure, transparent ice, but when he smiles, it is just as pure, like warm sunshine piercing through the ice and melting into a pool of spring water.
Seeing her staring intently at him, the man couldn't help but smile and reach out to gently pinch the tip of her nose.
“Little girl, don’t think that just because you’re putting on such a cute and innocent look, your father will forgive you for sneaking out on your own.”
"What's your name?" Xi'er finally asked.
"You little devil! You even dare to forget your father's name? I bet you did it on purpose. I'll tell your mother later, and she'll spank your little bottom until it's bruised and battered!"
The man's tone was full of doting affection, and he didn't sound like he was scolding a child at all.
"Lord Lanpo, could we go to Feiyu Palace with Bai Xi?" the boy suddenly asked.
“The four of you are all Xi’er’s friends, so of course you can go. But if you ever invite Xi’er out to play again, remember to let us know in advance so we don’t worry,” Lan Po said good-naturedly.
"Thank you, Lord Lanpo!" the boy and the three sacred beasts said in unison.
The next second, Lan Po transformed into a broad ice sword, carrying his daughter, boy, and three divine beasts, and brought them all home.
Xi'er could only become his child in a daze.
A few days later, she gradually became familiar with the environment.
Although she still remembered that this was an illusion in the Trial Tower, she gradually accepted her parents and friends here.
This place is called the Divine Realm, and her identity here is Bai Xi, the only daughter of Bai Yu, the Palace Master of Fei Yu Palace.
Her father's identity was even more peculiar; he was actually the spirit born from her mother's natal divine sword. After taking human form, he fell in love with his master, became her partner, and gave birth to her.
Bai Xi, with her three-headed figure, has already been dubbed Goddess Bai Xi by everyone.
The boy was Ye Tanji, the young master of Ye Tan Palace. Xi'er only realized this belatedly when Ye Tan Palace sent guards to pick him up that evening.
His name was exactly the same as the Palace Master of Night Pool Palace, and his facial features were clearly seven-tenths similar to those of the Palace Master of Night Pool Palace.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't understand why the high and mighty Night Pool Palace Master would turn into a little dumpling in her illusion.
In the days that followed, Xi'er lived here.
The divine realm is rich in resources, and its inhabitants live carefree lives, never struggling to make a living.
As Bai Xi, with her three-headed figure, grew up, the boy Ye Tanji became her childhood sweetheart.
Hongyuan, Fusheng, and Ruomeng also grew up alongside them.
One day later, extraterrestrial demons invaded the divine realm. They were tall, strong, and ugly, and almost impossible to kill.
In this cataclysmic disaster, Bai Xi lost one clansman, companion, and even the divine beast that had grown up with her.
Ultimately, her closest relatives also perished in this disaster, and she herself died from exhaustion of her divine energy while repairing the spatial anchor.
When her original body separated from her physical body, she suddenly awoke to find herself back in the training grounds, and her cultivation had broken through another major realm, from the Breaking Heaven Realm to the Divine Realm.
After stabilizing her cultivation, she was ejected from the trial grounds and saw her mother holding a crystal-clear ice sword.
I also overheard her father whispering sweet nothings to her mother: "My master, Xiaobai is willing to be your sword for all eternity!"
Xi'er: I can't bear to look! I can't bear to look!
Her dad is great in every way, except for his clingy nature regardless of the occasion or time, and his habit of constantly showing affection in public, which he can never shake off.
However, recalling her memories of her past life in the Divine Realm, she felt that if her father hadn't been so loyal and clingy, her mother wouldn't have accepted a spirit as her partner.
If that were the case, she, the fruit of our love, would not have been born.
However, there is no record of her brother Achen in the memories of the Divine Realm. So, who is he the reincarnation of?
Xi'er didn't have the mind to think about that now; the three of them had clearly awakened the memories of the Divine Realm.
Moreover, their cultivation levels have improved significantly, a result that exceeded everyone's expectations.
The extent to which the memories of the three gods will be of help on the battlefield is immeasurable.
Recalling the terrible experiences brought upon them by the extraterrestrial demons in their memories of the Divine Realm, the three of them wished they could tear them to pieces.
Unexpectedly, after 30,000 years, they once again faced these terrifying and hateful extraterrestrial demons.
This time, they are determined to avenge their past humiliation and settle this deep-seated grudge!
