Chapter 388: Go Play

“Hongling, look who’s here!”

Shangguan Huanling’s excited voice rang out.

Yue Hongling looked up in confusion and saw Shangguan Huanling and the Vermilion Bird striding towards her.

She stared blankly at the Vermilion Bird.

Who is this?

This is…

Yue Hongling suddenly felt a splitting headache.

“Bad person, good person, bad person, good person…”

“Someone good to others but bad to their own!”

“Are you a good person or a bad person?”

The Vermilion Bird paused in her tracks.

Even though she had already figured it out, hearing Yue Hongling’s blunt words made her feel a pang in her heart.

Yes, Yue Hongling was right!

Isn’t she good to others but harsh on her own?

But she didn’t feel particularly angry.

“Hongling, I’m here to help you.”

But the Vermilion Bird didn’t expect that just saying she was there to help would make Yue Hongling suddenly slap towards her.

“Master, Bai Qiulan, stop lying to me! You’ve tricked me terribly; you can’t trick me anymore!”

“You want to harm me! You want to harm me!”

The Vermilion Bird…

She only heard that Yue Hongling had had a terrible falling out with Bai Qiulan, but what is happening now?

Shangguan Huanling knew.

“You can’t say the word ‘help’ in front of her; as soon as you say it, she goes crazy!”

“Because Bai Jie back then was crazily infusing her with Chaos Yin Poison in the name of helping Hongling!”

“Hongling, don’t get worked up; we won’t say the help word, just relax!”

Suddenly, destructive waves erupted within Yue Hongling; she was going to self-detonate!

Vermilion Bird???

She just said one ‘help,’ yet Shangguan Huanling managed to blurt out so many ‘help’ words in such a short time.

But Shangguan Huanling was quite experienced in this, stepping forward and punching Yue Hongling in the stomach, directly breaking her True Essence and immediately averting the crisis.

“It’s fine; as long as we don’t say the help word, she rarely self-detonates. Vermilion Bird, don’t say help again, okay?”

The Vermilion Bird couldn’t help but rub her eyebrows.

She absolutely couldn’t let Shangguan Huanling accompany her husband again!

She just could tell that Shangguan Huanling wasn’t doing it on purpose; she just couldn’t remember, her brain just wasn’t fast enough.

“I’ll help her recover right now!”

The Vermilion Bird took a step, and a wave of fire surged around her, immediately enveloping Yue Hongling.

A clear yet painful cry of the bird rang through the heavens and the earth.

The flames transformed into a great cocoon, and as the pale-faced Vermilion Bird stepped back, the cocoon enveloped Yue Hongling within.

The Vermilion Bird trembled uncontrollably; she was the Vermilion Bird, possessing fearsome recovery abilities, but using her essence to replenish Yue Hongling’s damaged soul was still a heavy burden.

But no worries!

A mass of black mist appeared within the Vermilion Bird, quickly replenishing her essence.

Yes, it was Darkness Origin!

At that moment, the Vermilion Bird had completely embraced Darkness Origin, but her heart had not been corroded.

Why?

Of course, it was because of her Reincarnation Obsession.

The Vermilion Bird’s heart of the Great Emperor was genuine, having been tempered by Reincarnation Obsession, and most importantly, she seemed to genuinely realize her mistake, so under these three conditions, her heart was unaffected.

Using the power of Darkness Origin to restore her essence was a piece of cake for her.

Time ticked by.

The fiery cocoon gradually began to crack.

The Vermilion Bird and Shangguan Huanling opened their eyes, watching the cocoon.

The cracks spread, and a hand broke through the cocoon, followed by a second hand.

Two hands peeled at the gap, exerting a bit of force, and Yue Hongling appeared before them, as if reborn from fire, her skin smooth, delicate, and fair, just like a boiled egg being peeled.

“Hongling!”

Shangguan Huanling exclaimed with joy.

The two were not particularly interested in Yue Hongling’s current appearance; after all, who among them wasn’t smooth? Only Lu Ye wouldn’t look at someone who wasn’t!

After all, the Celestial Lord’s selection was harsh; you could doubt their character, but you absolutely couldn’t doubt their looks.

Eight people, one for each; while none could match Shen Xitang’s beauty, they were still stunning!

“Thank you both!”

A red battle skirt automatically materialized on Yue Hongling, and she solemnly bowed to the two.

The Vermilion Bird immediately supported her, stopping her action.

“Vermilion Bird, let her bow; I like her giving thanks!” Shangguan Huanling said, enjoying the spectacle.

The Vermilion Bird…

Shangguan Huanling couldn’t help but get teary-eyed.

“Silly girl, I won’t bully you anymore!”

Honestly, Shangguan Huanling was really on a high this time. In the last life, Yue Hongling and Shangguan Huanling were the two who didn’t get along at all.

Because Yue Hongling believed Shangguan Huanling shouldn’t be one of the eight, just having her there dragged down their prestige.

So she hated Shangguan Huanling the most.

Yet, when she was at her wit’s end this time, it was the last person she would expect who saved her and took care of her right away.

What a grand kindness!

“Who are you calling silly?” Shangguan Huanling couldn’t accept it!

“When did you ever bully me? No, I can’t be the silly one!”

Shangguan Huanling mumbled.

Yue Hongling looked at Shangguan Huanling with rising anger in her eyes.

Damn!

“Where did you pick up the Seed of Annihilation back then?” Yue Hongling asked.

“Just walking around and found it…”

“Who made you use the Seed of Annihilation on Lu Ye?”

Either An Li or Yin Qingcheng; Yue Hongling was getting angry. This group even tricked a moron; are they even human?

She would take revenge for Shangguan Huanling!

Shangguan Huanling was confused.

“Wasn’t it you guys who poisoned me and then asked me what I had? I usually have nothing, just found one Seed of Annihilation and used it.”

“Who talked to you the most?” Yue Hongling asked.

Shangguan Huanling thought for a moment.

“You!”

Yue Hongling…

“Second most?”

“Chu Ling!”

“Did Chu Ling make you poison?”

“No…”

“Then who made you poison?”

“No one made me poison; I did it myself…”

Yue Hongling looked at Shangguan Huanling’s confused expression and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

This is so frustrating!

Shangguan Huanling was completely led into poisoning without even realizing it.

She didn’t even know who guided her.

But couldn’t you at least mention someone? Whether it’s Yin Qingcheng, An Li, even Jiang Die, or Chu Ling, your responsibility would be much lower!

Because you’re a fool led astray; then your senior brother wouldn’t hold it against you.

“It was Yin Qingcheng who taught you to use the Seed of Annihilation, right?”

Shangguan Huanling couldn’t help but snort, “I can do it myself; I don’t need anyone to teach!”

At that moment, she even proudly puffed out her chest!

Yue Hongling and the Vermilion Bird exchanged silent glances.

“It’s nothing, go play now…”
