Chapter 346: Illusionary Flower Palace
After hearing Qiu Yue's words, Xiao Yun was quite shocked.
This means that before her amnesia, Qiu Yue looked exactly like Duan Qingxue.
He remembered that Grandpa Duan had told him before he passed away that Duan Qingxue was picked up by his son from outside. This suggests that they might be sisters, or even twins. And since Duan Qingxue was mistakenly taken back by the Peerless Sect as the palace master, it is possible that Qiu Yue escaped from the Peerless Sect.
With this thought, Xiao Yun felt enlightened and couldn't help but become excited.
If this painting could suddenly restore Qiu Yue's memory, he could use it to find the Peerless Sect. At that time, not only could he uncover Duan Qingxue's whereabouts, but he could also help her find a way to break the Death Flower Poison.
"Autumn Moon, do you mean the person in this painting looks like you used to?" Xiao Yun asked Qiu Yue eagerly.
However, Qiu Yue's expression suddenly turned blank again. She painfully held her head with both hands and said, "Yes, but I can't remember. This portrait looks very familiar yet strange to me. I... I really don't know what's going on."
Xiao Yun had her sit on the sofa for a moment and made her a cup of tea, gently smiling as he said, "Autumn Moon, don't worry. Take your time to think..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Qiu Yue suddenly asked him, "How did you get this portrait?"
Xiao Yun replied, "I painted it."
Qiu Yue asked, "You painted it? Then... who did you paint it for?"
Xiao Yun said, "She is a good friend of mine, her name is Duan Qingxue."
He then explained how he met Duan Qingxue and her relationship with the Duan Family. He did not mention that Duan Qingxue was taken away by the Peerless Sect.
After a while...
Qiu Yue said, "You mentioned that Sister Qingxue is an orphan, adopted by the Duan Family?"
Xiao Yun replied, "Yes."
"But where is she now? Can you introduce me to her?" Qiu Yue asked eagerly.
Xiao Yun's expression darkened for a moment as he thought and said, "On the day that American Wilson arrived in Huaxia to propose to her, she was taken away by someone from the Peerless Sect, who treated her as some kind of palace master."
He intentionally emphasized the name Peerless Sect.
However, Qiu Yue seemed to have no reaction to the mention of Peerless Sect.
"Wilson?" She frowned in thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yun, why does this name Wilson sound so familiar to me?"
Qiu Yue's comment surprised Xiao Yun.
How could she be familiar with Wilson's name?
"Autumn Moon, have you heard this name before?" Xiao Yun asked in astonishment.
Qiu Yue seemed to be lost in a memory and said, "It seems that a long time ago, an old woman told me that she had crossed paths with someone named Wilson, who is a Blood King of the Blood Demon Clan."
Blood Demon Clan?
Wilson would be a Blood King of the Blood Demon Clan and had dealings with people from the Peerless Sect?
"Do you remember anything else?" Xiao Yun felt a surge of joy.
He sensed that Qiu Yue's memories might be slowly returning.
"Uh, Xiao Yun, I really can't recall anything more."
Qiu Yue sighed heavily and continued, "Actually, I'm confused myself. Before I turned sixteen, I couldn't figure out who I was or how I ended up at Panlong Mountain. Fortunately, I now have a good mother and a caring father."
Xiao Yun sighed inwardly; his initial excitement quickly dissipated like smoke.
"Xiao Yun, but I also know that there must be a big secret hidden in my background. What could it be? I really want to know," Qiu Yue added.
"Perhaps one day you will understand."
"And why do I feel like the portrait of Duan Qingxue resembles my past self? Could it be that we are sisters? Or am I actually someone from the Peerless Sect?"
Xiao Yun hadn't expected her to think this way. "It's possible, but we can't be sure. Autumn Moon, let's take things as they come; don't overthink it."
But Xiao Yun thought to himself, if that Wilson is indeed what Qiu Yue described—a Blood King of the Blood Demon Clan—who once clashed with the Peerless Sect and later came to the galaxy to desperately propose to Duan Qingxue, it seems this isn't just about love; there must be other secrets involved.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Xiao Yun's mind, and he seemed to understand something.
Could it be that this Wilson has noticed that Duan Qingxue is a supernatural being and wants to obtain something from her—just like he ordered Gu Tianfeng to acquire my blood to enhance his magical power?
There are many people with the same name in the world. Although Xiao Yun still suspected that the Wilson mentioned by Qiu Yue might be a namesake, his speculation suggested it was no coincidence.
If Wilson learned that there was another sibling of Duan Qingxue here, who is also a supernatural being, he would certainly not let it go easily without obtaining Duan Qingxue first.
From the fragments of Qiu Yue's memories, it could be seen that the old woman used Death Flower to refine her bones, perhaps to protect her and intentionally sent her to Panlong Mountain, which has powerful protective formations.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun said to Qiu Yue, "When you go back tomorrow, remember my words: do not leave Panlong Mountain easily in the future. The reason I arranged for Little Bell, Black Fox, and White Cat to be by your side is to protect you!"
One thing that reassured Xiao Yun was that after Little Bell transformed into a human, many of her supernatural abilities disappeared, but her skills did not weaken. In fact, during her training with Duan Qingxue, she became increasingly formidable.
"Are you saying someone will target me?"
Qiu Yue then said, "Actually, if it weren't for what happened in the school classroom last time, I wouldn't have gone to Jiang County to sell flowers so easily. It always feels like someone has been secretly trying to hunt me down..."
Seeing the melancholic expression on Qiu Yue's face made Xiao Yun's heart ache as if it were pricked by needles. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, softly comforting her, "As long as I'm here, no one can bully you. I will protect you!"
"Thank you, Xiao Yun!" Qiu Yue closed her eyes and leaned against Xiao Yun's chest, as if immersed in a wonderfully dreamy state. A happy smile appeared on her youthful face.
Perhaps the day's Flower Exhibition had exhausted her too much; in just a moment while leaning against Xiao Yun, she fell asleep.
Xiao Yun was afraid of waking Qiu Yue and did not dare to carry her upstairs. Instead, he gently placed her on his bed, propping a soft pillow behind her head and covering her with a light blanket.
At that moment, Xiao Yun suddenly wanted to enter her dream again.
With this thought, Xiao Yun quietly activated the True Spirit, True Distance within him, a strand of Spiritual Energy flowing into his palm. Closing his eyes, he used the Heart Capturing Technique to gently place his hand on her chest.
As Xiao Yun closed his eyes, a familiar scene appeared before him:
An endless desert stretched out, covered in yellow sand, resembling a vast sea of gold. A gentle breeze swept through, causing waves to ripple across the surface of the desert.
A girl in white stood alone in this desolate expanse. Her face was like fine jade, her lips like cherry blossoms, her brows painted like ink, and her eyes reflected autumn waters—exuding an indescribable charm and delicacy. Her flowing garments danced in the wind, Azure Silks fluttering like a lotus emerging from the water, embodying an ethereal lightness.
She suddenly turned her delicate figure towards the sun in the sky, raising her arms high as if attempting to fly.
However, she did not soar into the sky; instead, she quickly lowered her arms and brought her palms together at her chest in a gesture of prayer. Her red lips moved silently as if reciting something.
Xiao Yun leaned forward, drawing closer to the girl until they were merely a yard apart. He was stunned by her familiar face—
Duan Qingxue!
No, at this moment, Xiao Yun realized that this flawless girl should be Qiu Yue.
"Autumn Moon—" Xiao Yun exclaimed joyfully as he rushed forward.
"Mm, Xiao Yun..."
With that whisper, Xiao Yun suddenly found himself pulled out of the dream. He saw Qiu Yue lying on the bed turn over and respond softly in her sleep.
Xiao Yun was momentarily stunned; he couldn't believe that Qiu Yue could sense his calls in her dreams.
He wanted to enter her dream again to see if he could make any new discoveries.
Xiao Yun once again gathered a strand of Heavenly Spirit Essence in his palm and gently placed it on Qiu Yue's chest.
However, when Xiao Yun closed his eyes, all he saw was an expanse of emptiness. It felt as if a thick fog had enveloped him, and the wind stirred the mist, making him feel as though he were in a surreal world where nothing was visible.
Xiao Yun ran around in Qiu Yue's dream, searching for her, but he couldn't catch a glimpse of her anywhere.
Logically, when Xiao Yun entered Qiu Yue's dream using the Heart Capturing Technique, he should have been able to track her presence. Yet now, all that appeared before him was a vast expanse of white fog.
Whoosh...
A strong wind rushed towards him, quickly dispersing the fog. At that moment, what appeared before Xiao Yun was a vast desert, and not far ahead floated a building adorned with ancient charm, exquisitely crafted with red walls and yellow tiles. The golden glazed tiles shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight. From a distance, the entire structure resembled a golden island standing alone amidst the endless yellow sands.
Wait, is this a mirage?
How could such an illusion appear in Qiu Yue's dream?
Curious, Xiao Yun hurried towards the building and saw a large plaque hanging above the entrance with three dazzling golden characters inscribed on it:
Illusionary Flower Palace!
What is the Illusionary Flower Palace?
"Who dares to intrude upon my Illusionary Flower Palace?"
Xiao Yun was deep in thought when a sharp reprimand echoed, followed by three green shadows swiftly cutting through the air, like three bolts of green lightning, landing right in front of him.
The three green figures were all strikingly beautiful women.
Each wore a cloak dyed in deep green and sported a green conical hat, resembling three female martial heroes from a wuxia novel, descending from the sky.
What surprised him even more was that each of these women was breathtakingly stunning. Beneath their green cloaks, they wore form-fitting green leather armor that accentuated their lively figures, captivating anyone who laid eyes on them.
Beneath the conical hats, azure silks fluttered, willow-shaped brows framed almond eyes, jade-like noses stood straight, and their red lips resembled ripe cherries.
Though their brows and eyes exuded an enchanting charm, they could not hide the fierce killing intent radiating from them.
Xiao Yun immediately recognized that these were the same three young women from the Peerless Sect who had snatched Duan Qingxue at the airport. He never expected to encounter them here in the dream realm of Qiu Yue...
