Chapter 619: with translation of chapter title

"Looking for death!"

The Hua Xian Beast let out an angry roar and launched an attack.

Ye Qingran's agile movements always managed to dodge the attacks, leaving the Qian Teng Beast and the Hua Xian Beast momentarily helpless against her.

"Weren't you saying you'd slaughter me for fertilizer? Is this all?"

After several rounds, Ye Qingran taunted again.

The Qian Teng Beast and the Hua Xian Beast were instantly enraged, their auras turning unusually ferocious.

This time, Ye Qingran dodged while fleeing toward the distance.

The Qian Teng Beast and the Hua Xian Beast, unable to contain their fury, leapt without hesitation to chase Ye Qingran.

She glanced back; the Qian Teng Beast and the Hua Xian Beast were about to catch up, while the Chaos Qing Lian Seed was still some distance away. Her eyes flashed, and she shouted clearly, "Qiankun Transposition!"

As the words fell, the space around her warped, and in the next instant she was already beside the Chaos Qing Lian Seed.

Only then did the Qian Teng Beast and the Hua Xian Beast realize they'd been tricked, rushing back at speed, but it was already too late.

Ye Qingran had already seized the Chaos Qing Lian Seed, holding it in the palm of her hand!

That grip wasn't just holding the Chaos Qing Lian Seed—it was holding everyone's hearts!

Ye Qingran, you obtained the Chaos Qing Lian Seed?!

"Damned humans, hand over the Chaos Qing Lian Seed immediately!"

The Hua Xian Beast roared in a deep voice, its fury evident, its overwhelming aura terrifying.

The Qian Teng Beast erupted with endless vines, encircling Ye Qingran; each vine resembled a sword pointing at her, as if it could pierce her into a wasp's nest at any moment!

"What if I don't hand it over? What can you do to me?"

Ye Qingran replied dismissively.

"Then we'll kill you!"

"Fine, then I'll destroy this Qing Lian Seed. I want to see whether your speed or mine is faster!"

The Hua Xian Beast and the Qian Teng Beast were first stunned, then both burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, foolish human, you think you can destroy the Chaos Qing Lian Seed?" The Chaos Qing Lian Seed is a divine artifact; ordinary people cannot harm it in the slightest.

"I alone certainly cannot; what about it?"

Ye Qingran pointed a finger, and Xiao Huihui instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

The Qian Teng Beast and the Hua Xian Beast looked toward the direction Ye Qingran indicated; at first glance there was nothing special, just a sparrow, but after examining it closely they were stunned.

That's not a little sparrow at all; it's clearly a Vermilion Bird!

"May I borrow your Vermilion Bird Holy Fire!"

Xiao Huihui transformed into a Vermilion Bird and spewed a burst of flame.

Both the Qian Teng Beast and the Hua Xian Beast were startled, fearing the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire would turn the Chaos Qing Lian Seed to ash!

Although the Chaos Qing Lian Seed is a divine artifact, it cannot withstand the scorching of the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire.

For a moment they could only stare in anger at Ye Qingran, unwilling to act rashly.

"Instructor Ye, aren't they controlled by Dead Qi with the purpose of destroying the Chaos Qing Lian Seed? Why would they fear you destroying it?"

Qin Feixue asked.

That question voiced many people's thoughts.

Ye Qingran explained, "It's true they are controlled by Dead Qi, but they are still the Guardian Beasts of the Chaos Qing Lian Seed. Their duty to guard the Qing Lian Seed has long been ingrained, fused into bone and blood, etched into their souls—it's not something easily forgotten."

She had seized the weakness of the two Guardian Beasts, which allowed her to control them.

Just as everyone praised Ye Qingran, the void nearby suddenly warped; a Black Mist materialized out of nowhere and surged toward Ye Qingran at breakneck speed. She could not evade it; the Black Mist slammed into her, sending her flying!

The Chaos Qing Lian Seed slipped from her grasp and flew away; she fell heavily to the ground, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood.

The Qian Teng Beast and the Hua Xian Beast timed their strike on Ye Qingran, preparing to end her life.

"Mother!"

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen both showed terrified expressions.

It was the first time they felt fear.

"Instructor Ye!"

The disciples of Renxu 108 Class were also terrified to the core.

Just when the moment seemed delayed, it arrived swiftly.

In the split second of a thousand pounds hanging by a thread, a figure appeared in everyone's sight, scooping Ye Qingran into its arms, raising a hand, and an endless force devoured the Qian Teng Beast and the Hua Xian Beast!

The vines withered and vanished, and the Hua Xian Beast's body gradually became transparent.

Ye Qingran's complexion turned pale, the blood at the corner of her lips making her already fair face appear even more bewitching.

She could feel her five organs and six viscera aching to the point of suffocation, her whole body nearly falling apart, yet when she saw that familiar visage, she revealed a faint smile, bewitchingly beautiful.

"You have come."

Fu Hanxiu pressed his thin lips together, looking at her condition; his heart was filled with nothing but concern.

He was not wearing a mask, revealing that exceptionally handsome face.

When they saw that face, everyone's eyes reflected a deep astonishment.

From deep within, a voice sounded.

In this world, could there truly be such a handsome man?

It was once thought that Lu Yunfeng's looks were already the pinnacle among Beimingzhou men, but compared with this handsome man before them, Lu Yunfeng seemed to pale.

Beyond the astonishment, the Academy's Instructor disciples began to recognize the figure's silhouette as familiar.

"My god, could it be that..."

"Do you mean to say..."

"Ye Xiu... Elder?"

Soon, everyone realized that this handsome man was, astonishingly, the Academy's newly arrived Ye Xiu Elder!

It had originally been just speculation, but after comparing his appearance with Ye Xiaochen's, it was almost certain.

He is Instructor Ye's Father Lord, Ye Xiaochen's father, the Academy's Guest Minister Elder Ye Xiu!

"I'm sorry, I'm late..." Fu Hanxiu twisted his sword-like eyebrows, feeling immense guilt.

Ye Qingran shook her head, "It's not your fault, don't say that." She exhaled, "Besides, I'm fine."

Fu Hanxiu, however, didn't believe it.

Just now, the necromancer took advantage of his inattention and ambushed Ye Qingran; that move, though not lethal given her strength, would still have left her gravely wounded.

"Really."

Ye Qingran, fearing that he wouldn't believe.

A cold glint flashed in Fu Hanxiu's eyes.

"Heh heh heh~"

A strange laugh came from behind, and a black silhouette slowly materialized in the void.
