Chapter 1133 — How Foolish I Was

Yan'er and the Dragon Qilin pulled the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Chariot toward the West Heavenly Gate. Shen Mu's gaze flickered as he thought, "The Qionghua Palace at the West Heavenly Gate—Bai Yuqiong, the Heavenly Court's third Heavenly Master, the reincarnation of the Southern Emperor's soul. This time I shall make contact with her first, see how many times she has died, and then attempt to unravel Yin Tianzi's divine ability."

On this return to Jingping, he had inquired after the whereabouts of Fengdu, yet no one in Jingping knew where Fengdu now hid.

Shen Mu had originally planned to go to Fengdu to see Di Yiyue, to start from the Gate of the Nether Capital in her possession and break the womb-maze that Yin Tianzi had laid upon Bai Yuqiong. Unable to find Fengdu, he could only let the matter drop.

When the treasure chariot reached the West Heavenly Gate, Shen Mu summoned the Dragon Qilin and took out the Vermilion Bird Plume, saying, "Dragon Fatty, go to Qionghua Palace and have the gate guards deliver this plume to Bai Yuqiong."

The Dragon Qilin assented. After a moment it returned and said, "It has been delivered."

Shen Mu nodded lightly and said, "Go to the spirit-energy teleportation bridge at the West Falling Master Gate. We are going to the Yunluo Heavenly Palace."

In Qionghua Palace, the Heavenly Court's third Heavenly Master, Bai Yuqiong, held the Vermilion Bird Plume between her fingers, her gaze deep and distant. Suddenly she rose to her feet and walked toward the palace exit—yet when she stood, there was still another Bai Yuqiong upon the throne, identical to her, indistinguishable from the real one!

"In the Longhan era, that youth who coaxed me into looking at his great treasure has appeared again! And that plump girl who swindled my plume with a jade pendant has appeared as well!"

Bai Yuqiong's beautiful eyes blinked, and she ground her teeth in secret, thinking, "I was truly foolish back then. But their treasure did save me. I want to see just who they are, why they saved me, and why they swindled away my plume..."
