Seeing the transformation of the Queen, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but feel very happy for her.
"Feng Xun, the Moonflower really worked."
"That’s just the beginning." Feng Xun shook his head and turned his back.
Ye Lingyue glanced sideways at Feng Xun, always feeling that he looked particularly indifferent.
But Ye Lingyue didn’t take it to heart, as the Queen had already completely transford into human form.
However, upon gaining a pair of beautiful legs, the Queen cried tears of joy.
"Queen, this is a robe I refined. To celebrate your transformation into human form, let this serve as a gift from ." The Three-legged Birdman Queen was already wearing human clothing on her upper body, but as she was new to human form, her legs were still bare. Ye Lingyue took out a Qiankun Purple Gold Robe for the Queen to wear.
Ye Lingyue also took out a pair of boots of her own and gave them to the Queen.
The Three-legged Birdman Queen, now dressed in the Qiankun Purple Gold Robe, appeared beautiful and generous as if she were a real human Queen.
She expressed her gratitude with a nod to Ye Lingyue.
"Queen, try taking a few steps." Seeing the Three-legged Birdman Queen hesitating to walk like a child learning to walk, Ye Lingyue smiled and walked up to encourage the Queen to take a few steps.
The Queen tried, taking one step forward, but as soon as she took the first step, she felt a pain in her legs on the ground as if they were being sliced by a knife.
She scread in agony, and before she could steady herself, she fell to the ground.
Ye Lingyue and the other Three-legged Birdn all cried out in alarm.
"It’s nothing, I’m just not used to it yet, I’ll be able to do it with more practice." The Three-legged Birdman Queen gritted her teeth, intending to try standing up and walking a few more steps.
But before she could get up, her beautiful legs, which looked like works of art, suddenly split open as the ford human legs’ bones divided, and sharp bird claws pierced through the skin,
On the back of the Three-legged Birdman Queen, the previously faded wings also erged from her spine, growing out anew.
Transforming from half-bird to human form, and then back from human to bird form, the entire process lasted less than a quarter of an hour.
Yet, the Three-legged Birdman Queen experienced a pain like the transition from heaven to hell, an agony that gnawed to the bone.
She lay in a bloodbath, severely wounded, without even the strength to stand up.
The other Three-legged Birdn were terrified, and Ye Lingyue was stunned.
How could this happen?
Ye Lingyue hurried forward to try and treat the Queen, but upon checking, her brow furrowed deeply.
It was too late, much too late.
The life force of the Queen flowed out like floodwaters bursting a dam, and along with the ebbing of her life force, a brownish-yellow Spiritual Power erged from the body of the Three-legged Birdman Queen, jumping out like tadpoles.
Just as the Earth Spirit left the body of the Queen, two figures dashed over swiftly like arrows; one of them, lightning-fast, struck at Ye Lingyue with a palm.
Ye Lingyue quickly stepped back several steps, and the person had already snatched away the brownish-yellow Earth Spirit.
"Hong, why?" At this mont, the Queen was still crawling on the ground.
As she recognized the man standing a short distance away, and the Earth Spirit in his hand, and saw the sworn enemy Queen Shari posing beside him, the Three-legged Birdman Queen suddenly understood.
It was fooled!
The Moonflower cannot turn Fierce Beasts into humans.
All of this was a scam.
The man she had been in close quarters with for several months, the man who made her fall hopelessly in love, was a fraudster. He was after her Earth Spirit all along.
He knew that as long as the Host is alive, the Earth Spirit cannot voluntarily switch owners against the Host’s will.
The only way was to use special ans to inflict severe injuries to the Host’s body so that the Earth Spirit, believing the Host is about to die, would leave the body in search of a new Host.
"Because he is a beast, Queen. You’ve been deceived by him; he’s not any Divine Doctor. His true identity is the forr Palace Master of the Beiqing Pill Palace, Fang Venerate Chen Hongru." Ye Lingyue recognized the man trying to seize the Earth Spirit at first glance, yet did not imdiately recognize him.
But as soon as she saw the mark of the Cauldron Seal on his forehead, she imdiately confird his identity.
No wonder after the downfall of the Beiqing Empress, she could never find Chen Hongru. A sly rabbit has three burrows. Who would have thought that the renowned Fang Venerate of the mainland would stoop so low as to consort with Fierce Beasts.
Ye Lingyue had also long sensed that the Three-legged Birdman Queen possessed the Earth Spirit, but she wasn’t ruthless enough to harm others and directly seize the Earth Spirit.
Chen Hongru’s actions, exploiting a woman who was deeply infatuated with him, were utterly despicable.
"Ye Lingyue, if you hadn’t stolen my Heaven and Earth Array, causing my cultivation to be unable to progress, and conspiring to make the Beiqing Empress lose power and usurp my position, how could I have ended up consorting with this lowly feathered beast? However, all of this should now co to an end. The Earth Spirit will make once again the World’s First Refining expert. I will rise again with a new identity," Chen Hongru said through gritted teeth, a fierce look in his eyes, followed by a low howl.
"Shari, protect , and clear away all these eyesores."
After obtaining the Earth Spirit, Chen Hongru had to imdiately refine it, lest there be more complications.
He sat down cross-legged, and from his forehead, the "Red Snow" Solid Rank cauldron flew out whirling.
The clump of Earth Spirit was sucked into the cauldron, beginning the refinent process.
The Beauty Snake Queen Shari acknowledged his command.
A hissing sound echoed through the mountain walls, akin to countless cold winds blowing past.
A large group of Beauty Snake Warriors, both male and female, appeared. They were mostly bare-chested and resembled the Three-legged Birdn with human upper bodies and snake lower halves. But their gazes were even more venomous than those of the Three-legged Birdn.
Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun now realized they were surrounded by an overwhelming number of Half-Snake Warriors.
These Half-Snake Warriors, carrying deadly venom, with sharp fangs in their mouths, were able to glide along the steep mountain walls freely and spat out green poisonous gas from ti to ti.
Several guards, the Three-legged Birdman Warriors beside the Three-legged Birdman Queen, were slain by the Beauty Snake Warriors, spitting blood-red tongues, turning into pus before they could even think to resist.
"Giggle, foolish Birdn, you can only bla yourselves for following a foolish Queen. Did you really think Hong Lang would fancy you? Listen carefully. In Young Master Hong’s heart, you’re just a lowly feathered beast," laughed the Beauty Snake Shari, her body trembling with mirth.
The term "lowly feathered beast," struck the Three-legged Birdman Queen’s mind like a heavy blow.
The last glimr of hope in its heart vanished entirely.
In his eyes, it had always been nothing more than a beast.
"I’m going to kill you all!"
With the last of its life force, the Three-legged Birdman Queen’s wings behind its back flapped vigorously as it shot forward like an arrow toward Chen Hongru and the Beauty Snake Shari.
