In fact, by now, her previous plans have proven to have largely failed, and continuing is just out of resentment.
She knew very well that her best course of action now was either to kill this guy, or if not, to re-enter the timeline and see if anything would be different if she could do it all over again.
But she was truly at a loss. She had clearly planned everything meticulously and was very confident, but now she realized that everything was a step too late.
She couldn't tell whether it was because she hadn't done enough, or if this was fate's arrangement, and no matter how she planned, the timeline would eventually be corrected back to the original ending.
She looked at the man in the distant clouds of tribulation, her expression shifting between light and shadow. She had sacrificed so much this time, was she really going to die like this?
If I'm going to leave, I'll kill her to vent the humiliation I've suffered these past few days.
She slowly raised her hand, but just as she was about to make a move, she suddenly hesitated.
In any case, this time being with him was the closest we've ever come to success. Should we give it another try?
But the Jade Disc of Creation only has one last use left. Should it be used on him...?
Just as she hesitated, the mermaid queen's voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Huh, why has Brother Zu turned green?"
Mikado Baiqing was taken aback when he heard this. When he came to his senses and looked at Zuan again, sure enough, his whole body seemed to have turned green.
At first, it seemed that only the legs were turning green, but then the green color quickly spread upwards, and the whole body turned green.
No, that's not just a simple green. The light on his body surface seems distorted, as if it's caused by temperature.
"Brother Zu is on fire!" The Mermaid Queen saw it clearly and hurriedly made a hand seal, summoning a wave of water to pour directly onto Zu An.
However, when the water was poured on Zu'an, the flames on his body did not extinguish in the slightest; on the contrary, they seemed to grow even stronger.
"How could this happen!" The Mermaid Queen was shocked and rushed over to help.
Mikado Hyoharu grabbed her arm: "Don't go over there, this is no ordinary fire on him."
"What do you mean?" The mermaid queen hurriedly grabbed her arm.
The force from the other person's hand made Mikado Baiqing feel a little pain, but she didn't blame him. Instead, she explained, "This should be his tribulation this time. It is neither heavenly fire nor ordinary fire, but Yin fire. It starts burning from the Yongquan acupoint under his feet and goes straight through to the Niyuan Palace. If he can't get through it, his internal organs will turn to ash and his limbs will rot. All his thousand years of hardship will be in vain."
After she finished speaking, her eyes were filled with astonishment. You should know that this is one of the three calamities that immortals only encounter every five hundred years. The other party has not yet become an immortal, so why would he encounter this?
You should know that even true immortals often fail to survive this tribulation and perish in the end. For an ordinary person who is still undergoing tribulation to encounter this is surely a death sentence.
The Mermaid Queen turned pale upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "Then how should we deal with this kind of Yin Fire?"
Mikado Baiqing stared at the figure covered in green light and replied calmly, "This fire is caused by one's own desires. If one can understand one's true nature and guard one's original heart, one can get through it safely. Otherwise, one will only be reduced to ashes, and outsiders can't help at all."
Hearing her say that, the Mermaid Queen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Brother Zu is determined and will surely overcome this tribulation."
Mikado Baiqing sneered inwardly. This woman had no idea how terrifying this Yin Fire was. Even immortals couldn't withstand it, let alone that guy who indulged in all sorts of vices.
Having spent this time together, she was well aware of just how astonishing his desires were.
For some unknown reason, her cheeks flushed, and then a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
Hmph, that's perfect. If I die in this calamity, it's fate, and I won't need to lift a finger.
At this moment, Zuan was completely unaware of what was happening outside; he felt his head was spinning.
What was I just doing?
He noticed that there seemed to be light gauze curtains all around, and it seemed to be a very fragrant and soft bed.
A faint, sweet fragrance filled the air, refreshing and captivating.
Just as he was wondering, a mournful pipa melody suddenly drifted over, filled with sorrow yet exceptionally beautiful.
Looking back, I saw a stunningly beautiful woman sitting not far away, wearing a bright red cloak, seemingly dressed as a woman from the grasslands. She possessed not only the valor of the grasslands but also the charm of a woman from the Central Plains.
Her delicate hands gently brushed across the strings of the zither, and the celestial music lingered for days. It wasn't just the strings being plucked; it was the strings of a man's heart that were being touched.
At that moment, a bright moon rose outside the window, and she was enveloped in a layer of shimmering moonlight.
A line of poetry naturally popped into Zu'an's mind: "The moon over the Han and Qin lands shines, casting its shadow on the imperial concubine."
Even with his vast experience, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "How could there be such a stunning beauty in the world?"
Just as they were about to go over and ask, a soft, silvery laugh suddenly rang out.
Inside the room, two women were dancing gracefully.
One of the women was dressed in the elegant and dignified attire of the Qin and Han dynasties, while the other was dressed in a bright red dress, as delicate and vibrant as a blooming flower petal.
The two women held hands, their lotus feet swaying gracefully, their figures light and supple, seemingly vying for attention, yet together they formed a magnificent and beautiful dance.
The two women, blushing, gazed at Zu An with tender affection as they danced, as if all of this was to please him and gain his approval and favor.
Zuan admitted that he had been too hasty. He glanced at the woman in the red cloak playing music next to him. He had just been marveling at how beautiful she was, but the two women who appeared the next second were in no way inferior to her.
