412 - Senior Sister Is on Top
She remembered this item. It was something her senior sister begged from Miaonu when she had lost blood to save their master a few days ago. After consuming it, it produced a dense vitality, which didn't dissipate but instead settled in her dantian as a miraculous elixir. Tang Muxi gazed at the menacing red glow of the blood and, for some reason, felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity rather than fear, as if it was a part of her. She couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, and just as she made contact, the spiritual pearl shattered. Scarlet light flickered brilliantly before coalescing into a familiar lotus. The Kirara Green Lotus. If she was not mistaken, it was the companion spirit plant of the Life-Extending Lamp. No wonder it felt so familiar, as the Life-Extending Lamp was originally a part of her being. So that's how it is, her senior sister had secretly fed the Kirara Green Lotus to her. Tang Muxi was a bit annoyed but couldn't help but feel amused. This was indeed very much in line with her senior sister's way of doing things. The Kirara Green Lotus transformed into a blood shadow following the shattering of the spiritual pearl, emanating a pure and gentle vitality. That power flowed through her body, and her blood injuries swiftly healed. This was an exclusive life-saving elixir of the God Emperor, unusable by anyone else. Tang Muxi's consciousness quickly recovered, and she simultaneously heard a very light voice next to her ear. "Still not waking up? Your senior sister is about to get angry." Chapter 235 "Still not waking up? Your senior sister is about to get angry." The voice seemed almost magical. As it entered her ears, her consciousness and senses swiftly returned. Uneasy, Tang Muxi struggled; the chaos and sense of separation quickly dissipated, and at a certain juncture, her eyes abruptly opened. Perhaps due to having slept for too long, though the room appeared unlit, it still seemed overwhelmingly bright to her. Tang Muxi couldn't help frowning and squinting, wanting to raise her hand to shield her eyes, but she found her wrist felt as heavy as if it were weighing a thousand pounds and couldn't lift it at all. She lightly coughed a few times, weakly gasping for breath, and it took a while before she gradually adapted to the glaring sunlight and could clearly see the scene before her. This was a strange palace. The beams and pillars were carved with lifelike divine dragons, and the four corners of the room were inlaid with golden decorations, exuding luxury and grandeur. The bed was soft, the silk smooth, and lying down felt like being enveloped in gentle seawater. So, she wasn't dead after all. Tang Muxi felt a moment of relief, but then thought of something that made her immediately look around. When she saw the slightly pallid person before her, her entire heart relaxed. "Senior… sister." "I'm here, I'm here." Jiang Yin smiled but couldn't hide the sorrow between her brows. Her eyes were red, and it was unclear if she had shed tears. She tightly held her junior sister's hand, afraid of hurting her but not daring to exert force. Tang Muxi felt her senior sister's deep anxiety and was overwhelmed with guilt. She opened her mouth, wanting to soothe and apologize, but before she could, Miaonu interrupted. "Opening your eyes and immediately looking for your senior sister? Unconcerned about who saved you, so ungrateful." Tang Muxi was startled and only then remembered that the voice earlier was from Miaonu. Embarrassed, she opened her mouth to express her thanks, "Thank you…" "That's more like it," Miaonu chuckled softly. Noticing that Jiang Yin was still in a state of shock and confusion, she nonchalantly pressed a finger to her forehead, injecting a sliver of clarity. "Don't furrow your brows anymore. Your junior sister has just woken up and is weak. Be happier to help her recovery. Also, remember that this rescue isn't free; don't forget your promise to me." The spiritual thread entered her consciousness, and the gloom in Jiang Yin's mood instantly vanished. She glanced at Miaonu helplessly and nodded, "What's a hill compared to saving my junior sister? You could have the whole secret realm if you wanted it." Miaonu just smiled, "A secret realm, huh? Perhaps another time. If one day you're also severely injured and beyond the help of medicine, if you give me half a secret realm, I might graciously save your life." It was unclear if she was joking or serious. "Alright, I'm sleepy. She's saved, so don't bother me anymore," Miaonu said with a yawn, stretched her nine tails, and slipped into the secret realm at Jiang Yin's waist. This time, saving the main god earned her a favor from the heavens. She would need to think carefully about how to use it when she returned. * That day, the God Emperor was injured, and almost no one among the demon cultivators present was unaware of it. Sharp white bones pierced the heart, a near-certainty of death. If this news spread, it would surely throw the demon domain into chaos. Wen Desijun and the others acted decisively, using the Qian and Kun Eight Trigrams to forcibly erase everyone's memory of the God Emperor's severe injury, officially announcing that the God Emperor had been victorious and had temporarily taken residence in the Azure Dragon King's Palace. Meanwhile, they secretly expedited the search for rare and extraordinary treasures to heal the God Emperor. Now that the God Emperor had been saved by Miaonu, these spiritual plants hadn't gone to waste and were just right to nourish her body. Tang Muxi, her body damaged and the war over, had all governmental affairs taken over by the demon king Fengkai. So, she spent her days recuperating at the Azure Dragon King's Palace, enjoying an extremely luxurious diet with all sorts of precious medicinal ingredients lavishly placed on the dining table. These were naturally occurring treasures in the demon domain, nourished by ambient spiritual energy and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, surpassing ordinary delicacies in taste and efficacy. But no matter how delicious, after eating them for one or two meals, one could only grow tired of them after seven consecutive days. When Tang Muxi grew weary of the food, she began to find ways to decline or delay eating it. Unable to prevent her senior sister and the Si Jun from supplying medicinal ingredients, she could only take action from another angle. Before each meal, she would eat a little something to fill her stomach, thus significantly reducing her intake of spiritual plants during meals. Over time, everyone would think she had a small appetite, and to avoid waste, they would gradually decrease the amount of medicinal ingredients used in her daily meals. Tang Muxi was very satisfied with her plan but forgot that her senior sister knew her all too well. A sudden decrease in food intake would certainly raise suspicion. "So, you’ve been eating less lately. I originally thought it was due to your illness, but it turns out you've been sneaking snacks." That day, Tang Muxi was still preparing her pre-meal snack and, reminiscing about the days of picnicking in the Tianji Secret Realm, she took out some meat to barbecue.
