Chapter 260
When Bai Xie woke up again, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, the little dragon shook its head curiously and asked:
"Meng Aning, where is this?"
"The human realm." Yingning saw Bai Xie transform back into dragon form, but because of the palace, it had deliberately shrunk its size considerably.
"The human realm?"
What are we doing in this place where spiritual energy is scarce?
Bai Xie was unaware of the matter of the Pure Lotus at this time, and was still running around the palace in a daze, trying to attract Ying Ning's attention.
"We came to the human world because there is something I need here."
“It’s a treasure that’s hard to find even once in a thousand years,” Yingning said as she pushed open the palace door.
Upon hearing about the existence of the treasure, the little dragon's curiosity was immediately piqued. Bai Xie flew to Ying Ning's side and followed her into the palace.
"There are still treasures in the human world."
“Then, Aning, I’ll go and take it for you.”
"No rush," Yingning reassured it.

Outside the palace barrier, Si Baixue, his face flushed with anger, cut off the call of divine sense. He remembered Ying Ning's words and felt furious.
But he still wouldn't let it go:
"You actually made me wait outside?"
"That little dragon was clearly right next to her, is the owner of this barrier discriminating against demons?!" A blush of anger crept onto Si Baixue's porcelain-white skin.
Just then, a brocade sedan chair passed by, and the official inside saw the person standing outside the palace gate.
"Stop, stop, stop."
The overweight official hurriedly stopped the sedan chair, staring at Si Baixue's face with almost infatuated eyes. He was so mesmerized that he beckoned to his servant:
"When did this person arrive in the capital?"
"Go and ask which family's male prostitute he is!"
After receiving the order, the servant ran off to inquire with Si Baixue.
The official looked at the otherworldly man who was comparable to an immortal not far away, and couldn't help but swallow. He had been a tyrannical man for many years, and there were countless handsome men in his mansion.
There really isn't a single one who can compare to the person before you.
No!
Even if you put them all together, they still can't compare!
When the official saw the strange-looking man outside the palace gate, and heard the servant's words, his face seemed to blush even more, he was overjoyed.
Tonight is likely to be an incredibly enchanting night!
The official watched as the man slowly walked over, but the servant seemed to be standing motionless outside the palace gate. From his angle, he could not see the look of fear on the servant's face.
"I heard you've taken a liking to me?" Si Baixue twirled a strand of hair from her forehead, her expression extremely alluring, yet her eyes were icy cold.
"yes..."
"Yes, yes, yes, I am the Left Prime Minister beside His Highness the current emperor..."
"Ugh—!"
"Ughhhhhh!!!"
The official could not utter a sound; he could only see his belly swelling continuously, as if something invisible was about to burst out of his stomach!
Only then did he see that the servant who had been motionless outside the palace gate had his head fall at an eerie angle, his eyes filled with the endless fear of death.
"You...!" The official desperately tried to say something to stop him, but in the last moment before his body was torn to pieces, he couldn't utter another word.
All that was heard was the eerie man coldly uttering one sentence:
"Dirty thing."
Then, bursts of blood mist exploded one after another, sending chills down everyone's spines.
Some of the people who had just been lying half-dead from hunger in the corner of the palace gate were terrified by this scene and struggled to get up and run away as fast as they could.
He was still muttering to himself:
"There's a monster!"
"A monster is killing people!!"
.........
After dealing with the group, Si Baixue finally vented his anger. He dusted off his hands, which were not actually dust, and walked towards another part of the barrier.

Although palace servants came and went in a hurry, the Min Dynasty palace was still affected by the drought, and the entire palace was filled with a desolate and bleak atmosphere.
When Yingning and Bai Xie arrived at Guangming Hall, the palace servants on both sides were shocked and fearful, but then their eyes turned into an indescribable joy.
When Emperor Wuwei and Emperor Min stepped out of the palace, they saw a huge dragon soaring in the air beside them.
The dragon's head looked down proudly at the humans who were crawling on the ground. Part of its tail was wrapped around the woman's side, and she, despite having a pure and beautiful face, was also captivating and alluring.
The azure dragon scales reflected the red spider lilies at the corners of her eyes, blooming in full glory.
"A fairy?!"
"Your Highness, I have finally waited for you!" Upon seeing this scene, the Emperor of the Min Dynasty exclaimed, "Fairy, fairy!" His face showed both fear and joy as he hurriedly ran to Ying Ning's side.
The palace servants around the emperor also followed suit and bowed.
"Your Highness, may you be well."
"Your Highness, may you be well."
Wuwei walked over unhurriedly. He looked at Bai Xie, who had transformed into a dragon, his eyes filled with unfathomable meaning, and a faint smile played on his lips.
"Explain?" Yingning transmitted her voice to Wuwei.
“Since they think you are, then you are,” Wuwei replied.
Before the two could even speak, the emperor of the Min Dynasty began to sob and lament about the misfortunes his country had suffered in recent years:
"My fairy, you don't know how much I've longed for your arrival day and night for the past few years. If you hadn't come soon, I would have truly gone to meet the late emperor and all my ancestors...!"
"The Min Dynasty has suffered from a severe drought for three years, and the people are living in misery..."
"Every day before the imperial court session, I go to worship the gods..."
........
The emperor of the Min Dynasty was on the verge of bursting into tears, but Wuwei, who was beside him, timely interrupted the emperor's lament:
"His Majesty."
"There is no time to lose. The matter of the imperial mausoleum still needs His Majesty to open it. It can no longer be delayed."
With just a few words from Wuwei, the emperor of the Min Dynasty swallowed the rest of his words. The emperor beckoned, took the imperial seal from the eunuch beside him, and wiped the tears welling up in his eyes.
"Master Wuwei, Fairy."
"I will now take you to the imperial mausoleum."
The imperial mausoleum is located some distance from the royal palace.
Wuwei stroked the half-strand of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, his narrow eyes falling on Yingning, and he spoke softly:
“Benefactor Aning, aren’t you curious as to why this humble monk knows that the Min Dynasty in the human realm possesses a divine artifact?”
He explained:
"At first, this humble monk merely traveled through the six realms, but I discovered something interesting in the human realm."
"After the chaos of the Six Realms, the God Realm occupied a blessed land."
"The realms of immortals and demons have also given birth to endless spiritual and demonic energy, and even the ghost and underworld have countless life forms."
Wuwei pressed down on a Buddhist rosary and continued:
"There are also immortals in the human realm. In the past, there were even mortals who cultivated themselves into immortals, but in the last thousand years, the human realm seems to have declined."
When he spoke of the decline of the human realm, his voice contained a helpless sigh, but more so, it expressed his surprise at unexpectedly discovering something extraordinary while he had been observing it with indifference.
"What did you find?"
"The decline of the human realm, I once thought, was nothing more than the aging and decline of ordinary people."
"Now it seems that this is not the case."
His tone shifted, becoming somewhat cold:
“Benefactor, are you aware of this?”
"Spiritual veins also exist in the human realm?"
Upon hearing Wu's words, even Bai Xie's body stiffened.
