Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1628 - 1617: The Original Female Protagonist of Cultivation Immortal Text

After escaping from the oppressive aura of the Golden Crow, Jiang Ruixiao was still experiencing waves of palpitations. She knew she had genuinely been close to dying; that kind of dread felt deep within her soul she had only experienced before her death in her past life.

What exactly was that thing? Why was it so powerful? Was Ye Qiu’s luck really that strong? Obviously, she had already snatched almost everything, so how could Ye Qiu still find something better?

Jiang Ruixiao couldn’t help but feel a surge of intense jealousy, and wisps of black energy appeared in her eyes, something that even her side companion Chen Nanjin hadn’t noticed.

"Junior Sister, we should return to the sect first! Ye Qiu is not easy to deal with right now. I’m afraid she’ll catch up. That spiritual beast is very powerful; we’re no match for her," Chen Nanjin said, furrowing his brows. "Moreover, we didn’t bring Junior Brother Chen and the others out with us. I’m afraid other sects..."

"It’s all Ye Qiu’s fault," Jiang Ruixiao hastily said, "Ye Qiu doesn’t care about the major sects for her cultivation. It was Ye Qiu who killed them. We just barely escaped by luck."

"Junior Sister..." Chen Nanjin was a bit at a loss, not knowing what to say. Instinctively, Chen Nanjin felt Jiang Ruixiao was wrong, but he couldn’t deny that those Junior Brothers might really have died at Ye Qiu’s hands, and they did indeed escape purely by luck; the spiritual beast was too powerful for both him and his Junior Sister.

He felt that the death of the Junior Brothers shouldn’t be blamed on them, but those Junior Brothers were helping the Junior Sister after all. He couldn’t go and tell the major sects that it was the Junior Sister who caused the trouble, could he?

"Senior Brother, I suspect that Ye Qiu’s spiritual beast isn’t from our Cultivation World. Have you ever heard of such a powerful spiritual beast? The flames were so peculiar, didn’t you have any other thoughts?"

Looking at the fervent eyes of his Junior Sister, Chen Nanjin’s gaze flickered: "Are you saying it’s not a spiritual beast? Maybe from... But how is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible," Jiang Ruixiao took a deep breath, "Otherwise, how could a cultivator continue cultivating even after losing her Golden Core? If Ye Qiu isn’t possessed, then she must have a way to connect to the Immortal Realm."

Despite having some suspicions in his heart, hearing the Junior Sister say this left Chen Nanjin deeply shocked. He swallowed and said, "But that’s the Immortal Realm, which legend says has disappeared! How could Ye Qiu find it?"

"There’s nothing impossible in the Cultivation World. Such a vast Immortal Realm, how could it disappear? At most, our Cultivation World lost the means to communicate with the Immortal Realm. Maybe Ye Qiu found this means, Senior Brother. This matter is of great importance. I think we should report back to Master and Sect Leader promptly, and then discuss with other sects about making Ye Qiu hand over the Immortal Realm connection."

Chen Nanjin understood his Junior Sister’s intent. He knew she always held a grudge against Ye Qiu. Suggesting that the major sects handle Ye Qiu does seem somewhat wrong, but considering it’s about a connection to the Immortal Realm, once the suspicion is voiced, no sect wouldn’t be tempted.

After all, she was his Junior Sister, the one he had admired for many years. Chen Nanjin was indeed biased. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone against ethics to find Ye Qiu with her in the first place. Hearing his Junior Sister speak so, he gently nodded.

"If that’s the case, let’s return to the sect as soon as possible. Regarding that Divine Beast, I’ve already had some thoughts. I need to go back and check some texts. If it’s true, then it can confirm Ye Qiu’s connection with the Immortal Realm, as such a Divine Beast shouldn’t appear in our Cultivation World."

Divine Beast?

Jiang Ruixiao mulled over these two words around her teeth a few times, then licked her lips greedily. If she could ruin Ye Qiu’s Tao Foundation once, she could do it twice. Having taken away Ye Qiu’s opportunities so many times, she certainly wouldn’t miss this one!

"Little Jin, what do you guess Jiang Ruixiao will do to me this time?" With no troublemakers around, Ye Qiu and Little Golden Crow strolled and chatted leisurely.

"Wouldn’t it be better to just kill her?" Little Golden Crow was puzzled about why things had to be so complicated.

Ye Qiu shook her head with a smile: "Killing her directly would be too easy for her, wouldn’t it? What does Jiang Ruixiao value most? It’s her reputation, status, and cultivation. I want her to watch those slip away bit by bit before her eyes."

Little Golden Crow scratched his head: "I don’t get it, but Qiuqiu, you can do it however you like. With me around, no one can hurt you."

"It’s good to have you," Ye Qiu rubbed its head. "Have you gained any insights from this long seclusion?"

"I’ve remembered some things."

Ye Qiu abruptly turned her head: "What things?"

"Just some images. I saw that the place I lived was very dark, often accompanied by someone. That person should be you."

"Why do you say ’should be’?"

"The aura felt similar, yet not quite. He gave me a terrifying feeling and often gazed into the deep space as if he wanted to destroy everything. Qiuqiu, being with you feels very comfortable, totally different from being with him, so I’m not sure if you’re the same person. Moreover, if you really were him, such a powerful person, how could you fall to this state?"

Ye Qiu felt Little Golden Crow’s words made sense. If she really were as powerful as Little Jin said, how could she not even find her memory and be controlled by such a baffling system?

But if not, then who was she? Was she created by that powerful person? What was the purpose of creating her?

Ye Qiu felt this mystery was right before her, and just a light poke would unravel it. Yet, she felt it was not the right time; her intuition said unraveling it now would cause great trouble.

"I’ll let you off the hook for now. I hope the person behind you doesn’t have ill intentions," she muttered absentmindedly to System 001.

System 001 was just a program, theoretically emotionless, but this wasn’t the first time it had felt fear from Ye Qiu’s words. It felt its job difficult, why did it get bound to Ye Qiu?

As they walked, Ye Qiu suddenly felt a strange tug in her spirit. She stopped and asked Little Golden Crow, "Do you feel anything odd?"

"Nope!" Little Golden Crow tilted its head. "Are you sensing that Jiang Ruixiao is plotting something else against you?"

Ye Qiu furrowed her brows, then shrugged: "Maybe, but she overestimates herself and underestimates the two of us."

"What are we going to do now?"

"Naturally, we’re going to spread how this Rui Yao Fairy, known for her beauty and kindness, uses male disciples from other sects and then abandons them without a care. She cares so much about her reputation, let’s tarnish it a bit more." Ye Qiu hummed a tune, unaware of Jiang Ruixiao’s imminent plan to ally with major sects against her, but even if she knew, it might not matter much to her.
