Yu Jue looked up and seemed to see her. His eyes were filled with cold light, showing no joy at seeing her, only a bone-chilling disgust, hatred, and estrangement.
Linghu Lan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. This was not her Yu Jue, even though the face was exactly the same.
While she was still in a daze, a tree branch silently wrapped around Linghu Lan's slender waist and suddenly tossed her high into the air. Linghu Lan was stunned by the force of the fall, and her stomach churned. When she fell, she was entangled by another tree branch.
A huge mouth opened up in the middle of the tree, and branches wrapped around Linghu Lan were quickly pushed into the mouth.
Linghu Lan's heart, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and lungs trembled. If she was chopped off, she would definitely not pass the test. The hairpin suddenly pierced the branch, and the branch, in pain, shook and released Linghu Lan. Another branch wrapped around her foot, seemingly knowing how powerful Linghu Lan was. Instead of putting her in its mouth, it lifted her high into the air, released the branch, and threw her down.
Linghu Lan let out an uncontrollable scream and plunged straight into a well below, where she continued to fall indefinitely.
The two boys peered over the well for a while, and Linghu Lan's screams grew weaker and weaker until they finally disappeared.
They turned and prostrated themselves on the ground, their voices trembling as they said, "Your Majesty, the monster has been turned into fertilizer."
The Holy Emperor, who bore a striking resemblance to Yu Jue, nodded and said, "Go and receive your punishment; your lifespan will be reduced by two hundred years."
The two boys glared at each other, then bowed and said, "Yes!"
With a wave of his hand, the Holy Emperor sent a plump fruit flying down from the tree and landing on the jade plate in his hand. He smiled at a man beside him and said, "This is the Heavenly Secret Fruit that the Star Lord wanted. Eating this fruit can extend one's life by 30,000 years and open one's Heavenly Eye, allowing one to see the past and the future."
With another wave of her hand, a fruit landed on the jade plate beside her. "This is the Yin-Yang Fruit. Eating this fruit allows one to draw upon the power of the sun and moon in battle, making one invincible. Your Majesty's virtue matches that of Heaven and Earth; you are entitled to this fruit..."
...
Linghu Lan could not hear what was happening above the well.
She felt like she was falling, falling, like a fairyland version of bungee jumping. She had done it many times before, but it had never lasted this long. It was as if this well led directly to the abyss below, with no end in sight.
Endless darkness, nothing can be seen.
Suddenly, she stopped in mid-air.
A huge, glowing turntable stood silently on the well wall. For a moment, Linghu Lan felt that it had stopped there just to wait for her.
Above the turntable are four characters: Success is up to Heaven.
This roulette wheel also has two areas. Linghu Lan hesitated again before moving the pointer, which spun and landed on one of the black areas.
what does that mean?
Linghu Lan didn't have time to think. With a scream, she began to fall endlessly again. As she fell, the well walls became transparent, and the outside scenery rushed past her eyes: blue sky, white clouds, grassland, people, cattle and sheep.
For a fleeting moment, she saw a group of people surrounding a massive altar. On the altar, a woman stood proudly facing the heavens, seemingly performing a sacred ritual. Countless people were surrounded by wisps of white steam rising from their heads, their faces flushed with excitement.
A nameless fear welled up in Linghu Lan's heart, not only because the scene reminded her of pyramid schemes, but also because the face of the woman on the altar was that of Yao Qingcheng.
What? What?
What are all these?
Linghu Lan, who couldn't piece together the whole storyline, was on the verge of a breakdown.
Then came endless darkness and falling.
With a thud, she landed.
