Chapter 180: The Power of the God of Flowers
Yun Ling's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and he used up his last bit of strength to press the black feather tighter into Sheng Ran's palm.
His black eyes were misty, but he locked his gaze on her face. His voice was as soft as a candle in the wind, but every word was clear: "Master... It's a pity that you gave me that bone..."
He used up his last bit of strength to raise his hand and stroke Sheng Ran's slender spine, his eyes trembling.
Sheng Ran's tears fell on his face. She clutched the warm black feather tightly and choked, "What's a pity! I treated you badly before, and I should have returned it to you... Yun Ling, you're so strong, you won't die, right? Can you hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer?"
Yun Ling's lips curled up into a faint smile. She shook her head with difficulty, her black feather-like eyelashes trembling. "No, Master has always been very good to me... You, you are not her..."
Sheng Ran's pupils dilated instantly. It turned out that Yun Ling had already seen it. He had long noticed the difference between her and the original owner!
Sheng Ran felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out. She hugged his cold body, tears streaming down her face. Her words were already garbled and unclear: "Yun Ling, hold on a little longer. I'll take you back and heal you..."
The beastly husbands around him also kept calling his name, their tone full of pain.
Yun Ling's eyes gradually became blurred, and he took one last look at his master. Reluctance and relief were intertwined in his black eyes, and as the last trace of breath dissipated, they completely lost their luster.
The black feather that he stuffed into Sheng Ran's hand instantly became cold and stiff.
“Yun Ling——!”
Sheng Ran hugged his body tightly and cried heartbreakingly.
Despair, anger, and grief overwhelmed her like a tsunami. The hatred for the car accident they had designed in her previous life, the grievance of being hunted in this life, and the pain of losing her beastly husband, all the emotions intertwined together and exploded in her body.
——At this moment, the green light around her suddenly exploded into golden light, brighter than any time before!
Countless golden petals emerged out of thin air, spinning and dancing in the air like a holy rain.
Sheng Ran, immersed in sadness, did not react. There were still tears on her face, her breathing was not smooth, and she stared at everything in a daze.
Wherever the petals passed, Sheng Jieyue's black energy was instantly purified into white mist, and she herself was blown away by an invisible force, slamming heavily into the rock and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Sheng Ran forced herself to cheer up and looked at her hands in surprise. Was this her ability?
Seeing this, Situ Yu roared and rushed towards Sheng Ran, raising his snake tail and shooting poisonous needles like rain: "Witch! How dare you hurt the Holy Female!"
This time, Sheng Ran did not dodge and reacted quickly.
She suddenly raised her hand, golden light flashed in her eyes, and she chanted in her heart. In an instant, several thick golden vines broke out of the ground, as if they had life, and quickly wrapped around Situ Yu's snake tail.
The sharp thorns on the vines pierced the scales, and Situ Yu screamed in pain. The wind blade slashed wildly, but could only leave shallow marks on the vines.
Sheng Ran waved her fingertips again, and the golden petals in the air suddenly turned into sharp blades, shooting towards Situ Yu's shoulders in unison, and blood instantly dyed his silver robe red.
"What...what is this?" The people were stunned and stepped back, looking at Sheng Ran surrounded by golden petals and vines, their eyes full of awe.
"Petals! They're golden petals!" The old scholar suddenly excitedly raised his ancient book. "It's written in the 'Record of the Beast World Gods'! The power of the God of Flowers is golden and can purify all evil! This is divine power!"
[Ding! The host's extreme emotions trigger potential! Unlock the core ability - "All Trees Return to Their Origin"!]
[Ability Description: Can control all flowers, plants, and trees in the world, mobilize the vitality of any plant, purify high-level evil forces, and the strength of the power is bound to the vitality value!]
The system's mechanical voice choked a little. [Host, your abilities are strongly related to the God of Flowers. Perhaps the divine messenger Sheng Jieyue has been impersonating is you!]
Yun Ling suffered heavy losses while breaking through the evil magic formation. Now it seems... there is no other way. Please accept my condolences... We must make good use of your abilities to overthrow Sheng Jieyue's forces. We cannot let Yun Ling's sacrifice be in vain.
Sheng Ran's eyes were solemn. She stared at Yun Ling in her arms and hugged her tighter, refusing to give up. "Whether she lives or dies, I will take Yun Ling back with me."
She looked at Zhu Jiuyin beside her. His face was pale and the situation was not optimistic.
"If that's the case, then Zhu Jiuyin's condition is also very serious. I want to cure them both."
Sheng Ran clumsily mobilized the new abilities injected into her body. The flying golden flower buds spun and connected in the air, forming flower bracelets that were clasped on the hands of the beast husbands, temporarily maintaining their current condition.
I can’t let anything happen to these beastly men around me.
"God's messenger! Miss Sheng is the real God's messenger!" The people in the west of the city were the first to react, shouting excitedly, "Only God's messenger can control plants and purify evil spells!"
"Ms. Sheng is the one chosen by the gods! The Holy Female is a liar!"
Sheng Jieyue clutched her chest, struggled to her feet, and screamed, "Impossible! This is witchcraft! It's her witchcraft! Don't believe her!"
"Can sorcery purify the black energy?" the old orc from the west of the city immediately retorted, pointing to the ground purified by the petals. "Just now, the black energy from the Holy Female disappeared when it touched the petals! This is clearly the power of God!"
The discussion turned to Sheng Ran, and more and more people shouted "The Holy Queen should step down". Those people in the east of the city who had defended her before also lowered their heads in shame.
Sheng Jieyue's face was as pale as paper, and her whole body was trembling, but she still insisted: "I am a messenger of God! You can't trust her!"
The situation has turned around. Sheng Ran doesn't want to waste any more time and plans to leave with Yun Ling in her arms.
At this moment, a burst of hot breath suddenly came!
A raging fire suddenly ignited around Sheng Ran's body as she held Yun Ling in her arms.
The red flames wrapped around Yun Ling's body, sweeping over every inch of his body, but did not hurt Sheng Ran at all. Even the vines around her were safe and sound.
But Sheng Ran was completely panicked——
Where did the fire come from? She still wanted to take Yun Ling home, so why did Danxue Mountain suddenly catch fire?
"It's on fire! The fire started from that black bird!" a noble suddenly screamed.
Sheng Ran couldn't help but cry. Although the flames didn't hurt her, the burning sensation was extremely strong, and she felt a burning pain all over her body.
Even if Yun Ling was really dead, at least she would have an intact body. Why couldn't she even take the body back for a proper burial?
"Yun Ling--" She cried towards the center of the flames, then turned back in panic, trying to find Huai Jun's figure and mobilize her water-based abilities to put out the flames.
Pei Xiaoxing knew what she was thinking and replied in a deep voice, "Huai Jun separated from us early in the morning and has been defending the waterway alone. He hasn't appeared since then. I don't know... if he's safe now."
Sheng Ran completely gave up and watched in despair as the raging fire burned Yun Ling's body.
Sheng Jieyue seemed to have grasped the last straw. Regardless of her injuries, she climbed up and pointed at the flames and screamed:
"Did you see that? This is the evil spirit burning the body! This black bird is a spy from the Poison Sect. It carries the evil spirit on its body, which is why it is burned! Sheng Ran's power is not a magic at all, it is a sorcery that attracts the evil spirit!"
