I, the peerless enchantress, and those decent fairies

"We can't eat such things here. Only the auction in the capital can eat such earth-level skills. If you don't mind, we will need to take it away for a while."

"No."

Ruan Yi was told by the system that she must be careful with her words and actions in such places. If she could nod, she should not speak. If she could speak words, she should not speak sentences. Because she had no magic weapon to eliminate her aura, she could only reduce her presence in this way.

Look at the customer now who refuses without hesitation.

The manager's words just now were just to test the chances of success. "But that's true. How could it be possible to agree to this so easily?"

"I want to follow too."

"But I want to see if you are in any danger."

Chapter 42: Imperial Garden

The palace where the empress lived alone occupied one-third of the capital's area.

It is exquisitely decorated with unique ingenuity. The pink buildings are well-organized, and the golden dragon-headed phoenix sculpture stands high on the roof, which is full of luxury and elegance.

Today, after the empress's morning court, she and her maid came to the imperial garden. The sale of animals on the black market has skyrocketed several times in recent days, and a large part of the reason is because of the empress's intervention.

In the past few months, all the animals that appeared in the black market have been living freely and peacefully in the Empress's royal garden.

When the empress walked to the imperial garden, she only brought a maid with her, because what happened next must not be known by too many people.

The empress is the incarnation of the legendary mythical beast Phoenix, and has been in charge of the huge Hua Dynasty for hundreds of years. In the eyes of outsiders, the empress is noble, cold, and unkind, but this is very suitable for handling major national affairs.

In the eyes of outsiders, the empress is so serious and stern that she has no emotions. She is decisive in killing people, and no matter how much someone pleads for mercy when they make a mistake, the result will not change.

As for those grassroots foreign races that actively invaded the Hua Dynasty, the empress had only one way to deal with them: to root them out.

This also led to the fact that hundreds of years ago, there were several small and medium-sized countries besides the Hua Dynasty. Up to now, except for the uninhabitable areas on the border, all are the territory of the Hua Dynasty.

She unified the world and became the eternal empress. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a legend among legends.

But for the maids living in the palace, they have always stayed by the empress's side since they were young, taking care of her daily life.

The empress they saw was different, she liked cute animals.

I don’t know how many hundredth time I have tried to come to the Imperial Garden today. When the maid arrived at the Imperial Garden, she walked to the front and sneaked into the forest of the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden can be said to be a huge ecosystem, enough to support the survival of various animals.

"Which little animal is it today?"

The maid used her spiritual power to move in the forest at a speed invisible to the naked eye. While moving, she was flipping through a booklet in her hand. It seemed that today was the turn of number 913.

The iron-eating beast... a kind of spiritual beast with a gentle temperament. Although it can kill a cultivator in the fusion stage with one palm, it is safe to encounter it in the wild as long as you don't seek death.

Fortunately, it was not the ferocious and violent earth dragon that lurked in the ground like yesterday. If I had caught the earth dragon lurking in the ground like yesterday, my clothes would have been dirty again.

The maidservant sneaked into the depths of the back garden and was on her way to bring today's animals over, while the empress sat quietly on the chair in the pavilion with a few pills for the animals in her white palms.

Not long after, the maid who had behaved elegantly just now was now walking towards them with a huge black and white beast in her arms. The beast was so big that the empress couldn't see the maid's appearance.

But it didn't matter at all. The empress sat quietly on the chair. When her maid approached with the giant beast in her arms, she stretched out her hand and showed a few pills in her hand, trying to get the giant beast, which was still chewing bamboo in front of her, to come closer to her.

But when the empress stretched out her hand, the black and white beast dropped the bamboo in its hand as if it had seen something terrible, and struggled frantically in the maid's arms, trying to escape. After struggling for more than ten minutes, it calmed down.

As for how it got quiet, the empress looked at the black and white beast that had fainted in front of her with regretful eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Send it back!"

"Yes." The maid nodded regretfully. She had thought that the big guy would be more powerful, but in the end he was just like the others, even more embarrassed, and was frightened to faint.

The maidservant looked at the empress who put the pill in her hand back into the bottle. Although she was arrogant in front of outsiders, the proud and cold empress had a pain in her heart that others could not understand.

True Dragon Phoenix...

The bloodline of the divine beast that exists alongside the Heavenly Dao is enough to crush all creatures in the world, but this is not the reason why no animal can get close to the empress now.

In fact, hundreds of years ago, the empress was able to touch animals and gently stroke their soft fur.

Until she became the empress, she had been fighting wars everywhere for hundreds of years to consolidate the country's borders and to punish the rude invaders.

Every day he is stained with the smell of blood, and every day he exudes the murderous Shura aura. The originally peaceful and sacred phoenix aura on his body has long since mutated and is full of aggressiveness.

It took nearly a hundred years for peace to gradually return. In fact, before that, even if the empress had tried her best to suppress her own aura, not a single animal could survive in her entire palace.

No matter how powerful the creatures are, they are afraid of the aura of the empress. Before, there was no animal within her sight, but now it is slowly getting better and the animals will not run away as long as you don't get too close to them.

However, it is still impossible to feed or caress it like before. The preliminary estimate is that it will take a hundred years for the aura in its body to calm down.

……

The maid who had returned the panda in her arms to the back garden took the booklet in her pocket and said, "Your Majesty, we have tried all the animals in the back garden. I will ask Bai Guo to contact the black market and the auction venue to transport the next batch of animals here."

"Go!"

The empress waved her hand and left her alone in the pavilion. She sighed softly and fixed her gaze on the forest in the back garden. Her originally sharp and cold brows softened a little.

It’s good enough to be able to take a look now.

In the inn in Suzaku City, Qingyun is now gently caressing little Ruanyi who is hiding in his arms.

"Aw~ow~"

When Ruan Yi, who turned into a snow-white little fox, looked down at Qingyun from below, he felt that his heroine was indeed the cutest and most beautiful one. Moreover, it felt really good to have his ears rubbed by the heroine.

Qingyun's thoughts now are exactly the same as Ruan Yi's, and she is amazed at how cute the little fox in her arms is.

Just when Qingyun raised her hand to end the caress, her slender wrist was grabbed by Ruan Yi's cute little claws again. The little head was rubbing against the palm of her hand, and her round, rouge eyes were looking at her wateryly.

Seeing that the little fox still wanted to be petted, Qingyun chose to poke the fox's furry belly this time.

It's really a drought that's going to kill you and a flood that's going to kill you.

Chapter 43: Infiltration

Ruan Yi has now reached an agreement with the black market. They can enter the capital to observe the auction. In this way, the auction of the skills will be fair and open enough, and there will be no middlemen making a profit from the price difference. However, they must also undergo certain inspections.

However, this kind of inspection is much more relaxed than regular inspections. If you want to sneak into the capital city formally, the level of investigation is almost to the point where they will have to dig out your ancestors for three generations.

They also have to check if you have any criminal record and record your appearance in case you are a fugitive.

It's really very troublesome.

But the black market is much easier. They just need to check whether you are normal or not. Generally, those who come into contact with the black market have some criminal records or dirty things on them.

Moreover, things sold in the black market will basically be wanted by some sects. Although Ruan Yi and Qingyun's identities are a bit shady, they are still much better than most people in the black market.

The way to sneak into the capital is to check your spiritual energy to make sure you are not a demon cultivator who endangers the world, and then you can enter. And once something happens, the black market will sell them out without hesitation.

There is no need to worry about this at all. Ruan Yi and Qingyun both have pure spiritual energy that conceals their appearance, and they don't plan to do anything in the capital and come out immediately after obtaining the elixir. They can sneak into the capital easily.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to solve all these problems."

"Don't say sorry about the relationship between us! I am willing to give everything for you."

Ruan Yi and Qingyun are now at the innermost part of the cargo box, because what they are doing is equivalent to smuggling and they cannot walk into the capital openly.

Instead, it needs to be hidden among the goods and brought into the capital together with the goods.

Ruan Yi and Qingyun were in the dim compartment of the carriage. In front and behind Ruan Yi were all the goods being transported. As for what was being transported.

Ruan Yi didn't know and didn't need to know. In the darkness, Ruan Yi gently held Qingyun's hand. In the pitch-black darkness, two people holding hands would feel very safe.

Qingyun’s health condition is really getting worse and worse... Ruan Yi had used the system to check Qingyun’s condition before. The marks of damage to Dantian were getting bigger and bigger, and the damage to the body was getting more and more.

If the elixir to repair the Dantian is not found quickly, Qingyun will die alone without the need for anyone from the Sword Sect to capture them.

"Ruan Yi, you have been busy with my affairs recently. Do you want to take a rest? I heard from the people in the black market that it will take several hours to reach the capital."

Qingyun was tortured by the pain of the damaged Dantian every moment. Even when she was tortured beyond recognition and couldn't sleep or eat all day and all night, she would not tell others about the pain and just persisted alone.

This persistence of Ruan Yi did not force Qingyun to use the magic stone to suppress her pain.

Because Ruan Yi knew that no matter how much she insisted, the useful opportunity would only be temporary. Qingyun would not use it behind her back anyway, and would always pretend that it had nothing to do with her.

I really feel sorry for girls like this.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yi held Qingyun's small hand tightly. As for going to the auction, they must hurry up and go to the auction as soon as they arrived in the capital to look for traces of the elixir.

[System, are you sure there is a pill in the auction that can repair Qingyun's damaged Dantian?]

[The system doesn’t know.]

[Can you explain it to me clearly?]

[The system doesn’t know, you just need to follow the mission now.]

I want the girls around me to become happy, strong and happy.

No matter how I ask the system, it won't give me an exact answer. However, the system might sell me out, but it will never harm the girl of destiny in this world.

So if you go to the auction, you will definitely be able to find the Nirvana Pill to repair your Dantian.

"Qingyun...after we went to the auction and found the Nirvana Pill, have you thought about what you will do in the future?"

“Become strong.”

"Well, is there anything else you want to do?"

It is also his mission to make the heroine stronger, but in addition to making her strong enough to have revenge, Ruan Yi wants to know more about whether there is anything she wants to do.

In fact, it just matters what the heroine is thinking now. She still needs to work on her thoughts and not be blinded by revenge.

"I will always be with you, protect you well and make sure you don't have to suffer as much as you do now."

"Wu..." After being caught off guard by Qingyun's promise, Ruan Yi's face turned red and she asked again hesitantly, "Besides these, there is also..."

"No."

Before she finished her question, Qingyun answered her question first, and said without any hesitation that she would always be with him.

"Don't ask so many questions. Let's sleep here for a while. After we enter the capital, we won't have time to rest."

"it is good."

Chapter 44: Animal trafficking

Maybe I haven't noticed it before, but Qinglian's cheesy love words seem a bit too much, although Ruan Yi also likes it.

Ruan Yi and Qingyun had been hiding in the carriage full of cargo, and had no idea what was happening outside.

In the darkness, the two people could only rely on each other, quietly thinking about their future which was full of uncertainty.

Ruan Yi is a heartless child. Because she has a system to back her up and will immediately alert her if there is any danger, Ruan leans on Qingyun's shoulder and falls asleep.

You can relax as much as you want.

But Qingyun... knows how cruel this world is.

When Qingyun was adopted by her master and admitted into the sect, she was still an orphan wandering around without enough food or warm clothes. As a teenager at that time, she witnessed too many atrocities in the world.

Understand how painful it is to be alone in this world with no one to rely on.

Although the current situation is somewhat similar to her past self, there is a cute little fox by her side. She cannot give up hope for either her own sake or for the little fox.

"Ruan Yi... not missing you is really the luckiest thing in my life." Qingyun tilted his head and looked at the little fox waiting on his shoulder.

The environment was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, but Qingyun could still feel Ruan Yi's presence through the touch on her shoulder.

The little fox beside me is full of mysteries. He always takes out some very valuable items from his pocket and then gives them to me without hesitation.

Qingyun could feel the look in his eyes as if he was willing to dedicate his whole life to her.

There are some things that Ruan Yi doesn't say, and she won't ask deliberately. Qingyun's gentleness is really considerate, and sometimes she leaves a lot of ways out for the naive Ruan Yi.

Perhaps it was because they had been together every moment of every day when they were on the road before, Qingyun gradually came to think that it was natural for her and Ruan Yi to stay together.

He developed a sense of possessiveness towards the little fox in front of him, and was a little dissatisfied with the current situation where they could not be together all the time.

However, all the dissatisfaction in my heart turned into motivation to make myself stronger.

Because whether it was because they had less time together, or because the little fox was busy running around for her and was very tired, it was all because she had no strength. Qingyun was now pursuing strength more than when she was practicing before.

If Qingyun, a genius in cultivation, is pushed into a corner, he might really go astray and become an evil cultivator.

[The female protagonist's blackening value detection is turned on, the detection result: 10%]

Ruan Yi, who is now sleeping soundly, has no idea about her important system and what the heroine is thinking.
