Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 721 Sky Queen
Two chickens... no, sparrows. The two sparrows fought fiercely, their feathers disheveled and many of them falling out and floating in the air, both bearing numerous bloody wounds.

Both are very familiar with each other's habits and refuse to give in. All techniques become meaningless, and only the most direct biting and scratching occurs.

However, the Sparrow Princess was still superior. The Sparrow Leader was ultimately weak, and although the Sparrow Princess was restricted by the white, she clearly had her own methods and was gradually regaining her power.

Even if it's just a tiny bit, it's more than enough in a major battle at the level of a sparrow.

Do you think playing mahjong will put you on equal footing with me? How ridiculous!
"Chirp!" Suddenly, the leader of the sparrows in front of us raised its head and let out a sharp, loud chirp.

Sparrow Princess was startled, suddenly remembering something she had long forgotten. If she was still in the Cloud City as a little sparrow in this world… that meant she was still the leader of that flock of sparrows!?

Swish!Swish!Swish!
In an instant, sand and stones flew, and leaves rustled. A vast array of birds and beasts from the city's ecosystem responded to the call, appearing and surrounding the Sparrow Maiden.

"Chirp chirp!" Originally, the Sparrow Leader was sulking with her other self and wanted to defeat the Sparrow Princess with her own strength. But this other self, who had unexpectedly found an opportunity to regain consciousness and power early on, was not so simple.

Then don't blame it for lacking martial ethics!
Mahjong Girl really chickened out.

It wasn't just sparrows; it seemed this version of myself in this world was commanding a whole bunch of other animals. How was that possible? How could I, a sparrow without having regained my powers, possibly tame cats, dogs, and even hawks?
The image of Zheng Fan flashed through Que Ji's mind. Could it be because of the interference of that mysterious being?
But the situation left her no time to think. With a command from the sparrow leader, the entire animal alliance swarmed in. Sparrow Princess immediately dove down to try and escape the encirclement, but the sparrow leader had summoned far too many animals.

As she approached low altitude, a black and white cat leaped from a nearby building and extended its sharp claws at her. Despite her incredible dodge, a bloody gash remained on her back.

Damn it! This stinky cow cat has actually been tamed by itself in this world!
Sparrow Princess put aside her thoughts and flapped her wings, nimbly weaving through the flock of birds, occasionally using the little strength she was gradually recovering to launch a counterattack and buy herself some space to move.

Suddenly, the leader of the sparrows burst out from the flock, its tiny claws slamming down onto the sparrow princess's back.

Sparrow Princess folded her wings and, enduring the excruciating pain, accelerated her dive.

She was covered in blood, and feathers began to grow sporadically on her body as a shield.

The leader of the sparrows' eyes flashed, realizing the Sparrow Princess's plan. She was about to leave the limited white restricted area through constant maneuvering.

As soon as she leaves the restricted area, she will immediately revert to her full form and exterminate all the small animals!
So the leader of the sparrows quickly gave chase.

The flock of birds that were trying to surround and intercept them could no longer keep up with their diving speed, and quickly cleared the way to avoid unnecessary losses.

Finally, the Sparrow Princess left the white restricted area. Her feathers exploded instantly, and her body expanded into human form. Her first instinct was to kill her counterpart in this world.

But what she saw was not that ridiculous little sparrow, but another sparrow princess.

A true alter ego, identical in appearance except for the absence of the black markings. The true Mahjong Queen of this world has returned in triumph!

"when!?"

"It's already recovered!"

In the exchange of questions and answers, the two mace maidens' long legs were already joined together, and the ferocious bird claw phantoms simultaneously opened at their legs and gripped each other, easily tearing the space apart and spreading outwards with a strong shockwave.

After her initial shock, Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess quickly regained her composure, confident of victory.

She consumed countless hallucinations before recovering, and not only that, she further improved, forming an illusionary realm around herself and even comprehending the ultimate mystery of self-synchronization, which anthropomorphic hallucinations had never possessed!

In comparison, even if this version of myself in this world were to miraculously return to its normal, complete form, I would still be far inferior to her!
Black-striped Sparrow Princess adjusted her stance, gradually pressing Sparrow Princess down during the stalemate of kicks: "I am the Queen of the Sky of the Great Capital! You'd better get down here obediently! Imposter!"

Sparrow Princess's face hardened: "This sky... is mine!"

Suddenly, a black shadow swept between them.

A plump black sparrow appeared.

Stab it!

With just a gentle scratch from its little paws, a deep wound appeared on the chest of the Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess, and the suppression it had exerted on her was instantly reversed.

The Sparrow Princess kicked through the Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess's chest, then pulled her leg back, took off and looked down at the still-persistent Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess, raising her leg into a split before slamming it down heavily.

The bird's claws left a dark tearing mark in the air and struck the Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess.

They continued downwards until they had stomped the Black-Striped Sparrow Princess deep into the ground, leaving a large trench, before finally stopping. The black sparrow landed and transformed back into Zheng Fan's appearance.

Que Ji took a few deep breaths, looked at Zheng Fan, and immediately shifted her attention from her other self: "I knew you would help me! My beloved consort!"

Zheng Fan's previously nonchalant demeanor froze instantly: "What did you call me!?"

"My beloved concubine!" Que Ji clasped her hands together in front of her, tilted her head like a little bird, narrowed her beautiful dark brown eyes, and smiled sweetly at Zheng Fan, saying, "I want to mate with you! I've wanted to for a long time! Please accept my courtship and mate with me! Whether you look like a bird or like you do now, it's fine!"

Throughout Zheng Fan's life, he has heard both subtle confessions and direct, straightforward ones.

However, this is the first time I've seen something so naked and wild.

"Damn it..." The Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess, who was being trampled underfoot by the Sparrow Princess, also heard the confession of her other self. Her vision was already dark, and now it went completely black again.

How shameless! Even though you've regained consciousness of the hallucination, are you still thinking of yourself as a sparrow?!

Where have the Sky Queen's vision and ambition gone?!
For the Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess, the meaning of her life as an illusion was all for these things. But for the Sparrow Princess of this world, what is a queen? It's not as good as playing a game with her beloved concubine in person.

Zheng Fan silently took a step back.

He didn't dislike sparrows, and the Sparrow Princess's human form was stunningly beautiful, so it was a win-win situation. But judging from the Sparrow Princess's eyes, he wasn't sure who would actually do what to whom after he nodded in agreement.

"Let's get down to business first," he could only say coldly.

The Sparrow Princess didn't cause any trouble and obediently stepped aside, still maintaining that somewhat infatuated smile.

Zheng Fan crouched down, grabbed Hei Wen Que Ji by the hair, and lifted her up: "Who sent you here? What is their purpose?"

"...I don't know," Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess replied after a moment of silence.

It wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but that she genuinely didn't know.

"In my memory, I was preparing to fight a red-haired woman. If I defeated her, I would become the strongest in the capital... Then, information about this world suddenly popped into my mind, and a voice asked me if I wanted to come here to seek opportunities. If I could replace myself in this world, I could go even further and have more confidence in dealing with that red-haired woman..."

Although she still looked resentful, Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess revealed what she knew.

"Red hair... Luo Ye?"

"Yes, that's the woman."

"You're quite formidable on your own side, huh? You've even managed to fight that guy." Zheng Fan said in surprise. Although he could sense that the Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess's strength was incredibly exaggerated, she would probably be instantly killed if she fought against the Sparrow Princess of this world.

If Shang Xia hadn't chopped him with an axe and then transformed into a monster to escape, and if Que Ji hadn't cleverly dragged him into the white barrier, things would have been really difficult to resolve.

"That voice didn't tell me this world was so troublesome, and that my power would be balanced when I faced another version of myself. It's terrible." Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess glared fiercely at Sparrow Princess, who immediately glared back.

"What balance?" Zheng asked in return.

The answer came from the Mahjong Queen of this world: "When we came into contact, although there was still an objective gap, the damage she did inflict on me was indeed weaker than expected, while I could easily hurt her."

There's actually such a mechanism.

Is this the price to pay for invading another world?
"If it weren't for this, I would have killed you long ago. You naive and innocent girl, I can't believe that someone like you is actually me in this world. You have such good conditions but you don't know how to make progress, really..." Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess was very unwilling, and her jealousy was overflowing.

Que Ji looked down at her other self, as if looking back at her past self, and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm just looking at the sky, probably because there's nothing else worth looking at on the ground or around me."

Black-Patterned Sparrow Princess was stunned for a moment, and then a surge of intense humiliation and anger welled up in her heart.

But she didn't have time to utter a curse. Half of her body had been torn apart. Having been so severely injured by another version of herself in this world, she had already been sentenced to death here.

Her body collapsed and dissipated; the Sky Queen from another world died a humiliating death in a "foreign land."
