Chapter 458: How Did You Draw the Pattern?
As soon as Qiao Xixi looked up, she saw a dark red halo rushing towards her.

Qiao Xixi's pupils contracted; it was the aura of a monster.

There really was a monster hiding in the palace!

Josie grabbed the Beast King and pushed her toward the direction from which the halo was coming.

"what!"

The Beast King slammed into the halo, screaming in pain.

The dark red halo materialized the moment it collided with the Beast King, transforming into the shape of a Kunlin.

Dark red pupils fell coldly on Qiao Xixi, who frowned and quickly retreated, creating a safe distance.

"You weren't caught by the beast guards."

Yun Ming curled his lips into a sinister smile and licked his claws with his tongue. "Yes, it's all thanks to this male black phoenix. I used his beast soul energy to cover up my aura."

Yun Ming's feet hovered in mid-air as he slowly floated towards Qiao Xixi.

“You are the spring. Once I destroy you, no one in this world can stop me.”

As Yun Ming approached Qiao Xixi, he was suddenly blocked by a force.

"Damn it!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qiao Xixi retreated to an exit that she could escape at any time. "Little Demon, is it possible to reach the secret passage inside the Beast King's inner palace from here?"

“Okay, host. If you want to go, I’ll plan a new route for you.”

"Okay, I'll go."

"Ding"

Soon, Xiao Yao sent the planned route to Qiao Xixi. After checking it with her mind, Qiao Xixi found that the distance to the secret passage was much shorter than the exit.

"It's not that easy to kill me!"

Qiao Xixi muttered a spell to herself while making hand seals.

"The wind rises."

A gust of wind swept Qiao Xixi up and carried her towards the secret passage.

Seeing Qiao Xixi run away, Yun Ming chased after her with a gloomy expression.

As soon as they left, Han Lie came out and helped the Beast King up, untying the vines binding her.

"Beast King, are you alright?"

The effects of the drug hadn't worn off yet, and the Beast Queen was in excruciating pain. She gripped Han Lie tightly and gritted her teeth, saying, "Han Lie, save me! Qiao Xixi gave me something to eat, please save me!"

Han Lie glanced in the direction Qiao Xixi and the others had left, wanting to chase after them, but seeing the Beast King's pained expression, he gritted his teeth and picked her up.

"Beast King, don't worry, let me see what's going on."

Qiao Xixi was fast, but Yun Ming was even faster and quickly stopped her.

Qiao Xixi's pupils darkened. "Wind."

A strong gust of wind swept towards Yunming.

Yunming immediately spread its wings to dodge.

"I can't touch you, but he can."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark red in Yun Ming's pupils faded considerably, and his black pupils slowly became visible.

"Go, kill her."

His black pupils widened in surprise as he stared at Qiao Xixi in astonishment.

“Xixi…”

Kunlin looked at Qiao Xixi and stretched out its sharp claws to attack her.

"No!" He tried to stop himself, but he couldn't control his body at all.

"Hehehe, kill her!" Yun Ming's hoarse voice quickly replaced Kun Lin's.

Kunlin looked resistant, but its claws still reached for Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi quickly dodged, looking at the spatial map. Soon, she would be able to reach the secret passage.

The monster couldn't get close to Qiao Xixi, but it could command the Kunlin to harm her. Qiao Xixi didn't want to linger in the fight, and after dodging the Kunlin's attack once again, she turned and disappeared into the passageway leading to the secret passage.

"She went inside! Go after her!"

As Kunlin's body was about to enter the tunnel, he gripped the stone wall tightly with both hands, preventing himself from going any further.

"I...can't let you...hurt her!"

Yun Ming sneered, "Is that so? Do you really think you have the ability to stop me?"

The dark red mist quickly enveloped the Kunlin, and in the next instant, the Kunlin's pupils turned dark red again, and its hands loosened their grip on the stone wall.

"The spring, I must extinguish it today!"

Yun Ming turned around and chased after Qiao Xixi, but he had only gone halfway when he suddenly felt unwell. He wanted to go forward, but his body just wouldn't move.

Yun Ming roared, "You think you can break free from my control? Dream on!"

The dark red pupils turned deep black in an instant.

"No matter what, I will never let you hurt her!"

"what!"

His dark red pupils turned a deep black again, and he sneered, "I said, you're no good."

On the other side, Qiao Xixi ran to a stone door.

"Little demon, this is a dead end."

"No, host, the mechanism is on your right. Open it quickly."

"boom"

Qiao Xixi activated the mechanism, and the stone door opened.

After entering the secret passage, she quickly closed the stone door and ran forward, soon reaching the secret passage of the Beast King's inner palace.

The walls inside the cave are painted with colors refracted from sea pearls.

Qiao Xixi took out the sheepskin from her body and unfolded it. The sheepskin already had a complete pattern, but it was missing a color sequence. Since she couldn't do anything to Yunji right now, she could only try it herself.

"The wind rises."

A gust of wind swept her up and carried her into the air.

She looked up at the sea pearls that covered the entire cave, and tried to reach out and drop her hand onto the crimson sea pearls. Then, starting with the crimson sea pearls, she began to draw in the order of the patterns.

As she stroked the sea pearl in her palm and drew the pattern in the correct order, Josie noticed that the outside of the sea pearl had also turned crimson. Did this mean that she was doing it correctly?

"boom"

The sound of impact came from the stone gate, and Qiao Xixi didn't dare to stop, so she quickened her pace.

As she painted the snow-white color, the white sea pearls also shone.

But just as her hand was about to land on the colorful pearls, a huge electric current suddenly surged through her palm.

"what!"

Qiao Xixi let out a soft cry, her whole body numb from the electric shock, and she swayed and fell from mid-air.

Qiao Xixi tried to chant a spell and make hand gestures, but her hands and lips were frozen by the electricity and she couldn't move them at all. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a figure suddenly rushed in and hugged her.

"Water and water!"

Yunji hugged Qiao Xixi tightly and landed steadily on the ground.

Qiao Xixi pursed her lips, staring blankly at him for a while before she came to her senses.

"Yunji, what brings you here?"

"Xi Jing found me and said that something happened to you. After I found out, I thought that I could go down to the underground palace from here and maybe I could meet you sooner, so I came here."

He hadn't expected that Qiao Xixi would actually be here.

After Qiao Xixi helped him stand up, she said, "Yun Ming is hiding in the palace. He's outside right now. We need to find the source of the Dark Stone quickly and take him down in one fell swoop."

Qiao Xixi took out the sheepskin, unfolded it, and told Yunji all her previous guesses.

“I have drawn the graphic, but I don’t know the color order. I get penalized every time the order is wrong. I’m thinking about how to determine the correct order.”

Yunji shifted his gaze from the sheepskin back to Qiao Xixi. "Tell me first, how did you obtain these patterns?"
