Shen Qian suddenly realized that the Queen Mother of the West behind him was actually his second senior sister, Cheng Qingqing, in disguise.
Previously, due to preconceived notions, Shen Qian felt that Ji Ruoshui was very unfamiliar and had a completely different temperament, but he always thought that it was just because of the influence of the immortal position.
It turns out that the real Ji Ruoshui had been hiding among those celestial maidens all along.
Zhongli easily exposed her disguise, and the original Queen Mother of the West showed a helpless expression. As a cloud of smoke dissipated, she returned to her original appearance, which was Cheng Qingqing, whom she had not seen for a long time.
"What kind of act are you putting on? Why are you pretending to be the Queen Mother of the West?"
Shen Qian glanced at Cheng Qingqing, then at Ji Ruoshui who had fallen into Zhong Li's hands, and suppressed his inner anxiety as he asked.
"It's all because of you!"
Cheng Qingqing glanced at Shen Qian with a hint of resentment.
"Because of me?" Shen Qian was completely confused.
"The 'Gate' of Heavenly Realm opened, and Eighth Junior Sister felt a summons from the depths of the universe. She thought that if she could recover her past memories, it might be able to help you, so I accompanied her in... Now that I think about it, that so-called summons was probably just that witch's doing, her purpose was to trick Eighth Junior Sister into entering Heavenly Realm."
Cheng Qingqing explained, "After entering the Heavenly Realm, Eighth Junior Sister found the immortal throne buried in the past in Yaochi Palace, but at the last moment of refining the immortal throne, she regretted it."
"Why?"
Shen Qian was taken aback. It turned out that Ji Ruoshui had not refined the Immortal Position. No wonder her demeanor and temperament were not much different from before. She was still so delicate that it was heartbreaking.
"If she chose to reclaim her past, she might become a different person... but she doesn't want to give up what she remembers now."
Cheng Qingqing looked at Shen Qian, her gaze lingering, and said, "After all, what is half a year compared to memories spanning millions of years?"
He shuddered before sinking.
He and Ji Ruoshui have known each other for exactly six months now.
So Ji Ruoshui was worried that if she regained her identity as the Queen Mother of the West, she would become a stranger to him instead?
He turned around and saw Ji Ruoshui giving him a smile from afar. Even in the midst of danger, she still retained her usual gentle demeanor. Shen Qian's feelings were incredibly complicated.
"What an idiot..."
He muttered a curse under his breath.
If Ji Ruoshui is true
Now that she has regained her immortal status, Zhongli could not possibly capture her so easily. But thinking about it the other way around, Shen Qian felt inexplicably relieved.
He wasn't sure if Ji Ruoshui, or rather Xi Wangmu, who had regained her immortal status, would still be the Eighth Senior Sister he often dreamed of.
"After discovering that this Heavenly Realm was a giant trap, I could only try to find a way to get my eighth junior sister out."
Cheng Qingqing said helplessly, "But Yaochi Palace was already surrounded by a dense crowd as soon as we stepped in. It was too late. I could only temporarily pretend to be the Queen Mother of the West. I thought that even if I couldn't fool her, at least I could protect her. Who knew..."
"This demoness is even more monstrous than I am! She possesses at least seventh-level forbidden spiritual power, and she saw through my spell in an instant!"
Seven Prohibitions?
A sinking feeling rose in my heart.
Even the so-called King of Words, who is said to be closest to God, is nothing more than the spiritual power of the Eight Forbidden Realms.
When Lingwang was at the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm, he could suppress ordinary kings and marquises with his forbidden spiritual power. Later, after entering the ranks of kings and marquises, he was even granted the title of king.
Assuming this demoness is indeed a Seven Forbidden One, then she would definitely be a top-tier expert among kings and nobles, probably not much weaker than someone at the level of the Heavenly Swordsman.
Without warning, a river snail with mysterious patterns appeared in Shen Qian's hand.
Time Conch!
This was Shen Qian's last trump card after he realized that even the clones of kings and nobles might not be enough.
But now, it seems even this method isn't safe enough.
Based on Chen Qian's previous experience using the Time Conch, for some unknown reason, the Time Conch's acceleration effect on him was not as exaggerated as a thousand years; at most, it was only a dozen years.
Although it was enough for Shen Qian to step into the ranks of kings and marquises, he was still far from being a Martial King. He might be a bit stronger than his clone, but this strength was not enough for him to suppress the demoness while rescuing Jiang Xuan and his eighth senior sister safely.
"Second Senior Sister, what's inside the stone coffin?" Shen Qian asked his last question.
"I'm not entirely sure either. Based on my eighth junior sister's vague perception, the seal was indeed planted by her. But since this scavenger demoness is so eager to get what's inside, it can only mean that what's inside the stone coffin is extraordinary."
Cheng Qingqing frowned and said, "I suspect this is why the teacher has been subtly preventing Eighth Junior Sister from getting close to Kunlun Mountain..."
"Hey, Shenqian, it seems like your senior sister only has eyes for you. She doesn't care about my existence at all."
At this moment, Zhongli, holding Ji Ruoshui in her hand, flew back into the air. She seemed to have noticed something and covered her mouth with a smile, saying, "I didn't realize you were so popular with women. Xuan Nu's substitute is also interested in you. Oh, and Jiang Xuan... tsk tsk, your second senior sister wouldn't happen to like you too, would she?"
"Release Eighth Senior Sister and Jiang Xuan, and I can promise to spare your life later."
He took a deep breath before looking up, and his gaze had become indifferent to both sadness and joy.
"Hehehe, hey, I'm clearly in the lead right now, how dare you say something like that?"
Zhong Li laughed so hard he almost fell over.
"I can tell you know me very well, so you should know perfectly well that there are no bottlenecks in martial arts for me. Give me time, and you can't stop me today. Next time we meet, I will definitely kill you!"
Shen Qian resolutely declared, "I swear on my Dao heart!"
Boom!
As Chen Qian finished speaking, a sound like muffled thunder seemed to rumble across the sky.
