Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

However, this most crucial character in the story, who has always remained unknown, forcibly brought out the power of the underground palace in the end.

Ye Qing also secretly kept a watchful eye. She couldn't judge how much of this story was true and how much was fictional until there was enough evidence.

But Ye Qing can be sure that if it is extended further, a whole series of tasks will be unearthed.

This made Ye Qing feel a little excited, and this was one of the important reasons why she liked the game Divine Realm Fantasy.

It looks like just a story, but it can involve a large enough task, just like the interrelated details in an epic.

When players participate in it, even if they are not the most dazzling protagonists, they will have a feeling of indirectly influencing this grand epic.

"To be precise, I sealed up the parts that were scattered here, but as time went by, these forces also had an impact on the surroundings, which led to the space we are in now."

Beatrice pointed at the snake's body. Now countless roots were dismembering the snake's body into various parts and began to take out some tiny black fragments from it.

After each black fragment was taken out, it was surrounded by several roots and divided into different places.

"Adventurer, do you desire such power?"

Looking at Ye Qing who was resting with his eyes closed, Beatrice suddenly asked.

Key questions, key answers

Faced with this question, Ye Qing thought for a while before speaking slowly.

"It would be a lie to say I wasn't eager."

"It can control the underground palace. If this power spreads, the whole of Astra will go crazy, and countless adventurers will flock to it."

"but......"

As if she had expected a turn of events in these words, Beatrice approached Ye Qing with a smile, placed her hands on the stone platform next to her, and stared at Ye Qing.

"but what?"

Ye Qing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the spotless sky.

"For such power, it should just continue to exist in legends. I am confident, but not to the point of being conceited."

What kind of drastic changes would be caused if the power that was taken away at such a huge sacrifice were allowed to return to the underground palace again?

Such a price is not something Ye Qing can afford now. If he were himself in his prime and the entire guild were together, Ye Qing would definitely challenge this power.

"Hmph... you're really good at sweet talk. You've already resisted that power once, haven't you?"

Chapter 23 Her Majesty the Queen

ps: First update today, there will be another one later

Beatrice slightly hooked her hand, and the black fragments wrapped in branches slowly came to her side.

Those fragments seemed to have some kind of magical power, dimming the surrounding light the moment they appeared.

But Ye Qing only took a glance and shifted his gaze away from the fragments, not continuing to look at them.

No matter how Beatrice described it, this thing was just fragments in Ye Qing's eyes.

"Didn't you want to exchange the Dryad's Heart for something of equal value?"

Beatrice smiled and gathered the branches, bringing all the scattered pieces together.

It was like something was being built, but it was not relying on flames and anvils, but on branches and debris.

Emerald green light spread out from Beatrice's hands, continuously climbing up along the branches, and continuously injected into the dark fragments.

"I have been doing this for a hundred years, and it is time to pass on this responsibility."

From the branches, the emerald green light continued to extend in all directions, not only dyeing the dark fragments green, but also giving life to the surrounding dry ancient trees.

"This is......"

Ye Qing couldn't help but raise his hand slightly to cover his eyes. Although the light was not dazzling, it made people feel a little dizzy.

As the emerald light continued to rise, Beatrice, who was originally wearing a linen dress, also changed.

The long hair tied behind her head was blown by the wind. The spots of light scattered among the ancient trees made the dry trees full of vitality, and also allowed the vitality to flow back into Beatrice's body.

In those emerald eyes there is a gentleness that embraces everything.

Everything around him blurred in an instant. It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and Ye Qing found that everything around him had changed.

The grass is still grass, the old trees are still old trees

Now Ye Qing finally understood why he felt such an inexplicable sense of disharmony when he first saw this paradise.

Because the tranquility here is the tranquility of death, a world without vitality is naturally dead silent, and even the sunlight cannot bring warmth to people.

But now, this piece of grass, this clear pond, and the ancient trees around it all seem to be cheering, cheering for someone's return.

The bright moon hanging high above our heads casts a gentle glow.

"Beatrice?"

After moving his arm away, Ye Qing saw the beautiful figure in front of him.

The emerald veil fluttered in the wind, and the luxurious long dress made the person in front of her look like a queen from the legend.

Noble yet elegant, otherworldly yet gentle and approachable.

Ye Qing was slightly stunned as he was a little unsure of the figure in front of him.

But the emerald queen just took a step forward, stretched out her hand and lifted Ye Qing's chin.

"Eh?"

Before he could react to what was happening, the soft red lips had already pressed against his, causing Ye Qing's eyes to widen instantly.

She wanted to push away, but her arm was grabbed by the queen again, as if Ye Qing was the queen's companion, dancing under the moonlight.

There is no rough request, nor immature attempt

It was as if the queen was guiding Ye Qing, allowing her to understand the beauty of it step by step.

The touch of the red lips and the blending of the small lilac tongue, together with the slight feeling of suffocation, made Ye Qing feel a little drunk at this moment.

It was the first time she experienced such a feeling, and she tried to respond clumsily, but was gently pushed away by the queen.

"Don't be a glutton~"

After being pushed away by the queen, Ye Qing subconsciously wanted to take a step forward, but she reacted suddenly, her cheeks flushed and she covered her mouth, not daring to look her in the eye.

The queen in front of me is, of course, Beatrice.

But now she has liberated all her strength and is no longer bound by the power of the underground palace, showing her original posture as the Queen of Dryads.

"me......"

Ye Qing had never experienced such stimulation before. Just as she was about to look away, those gentle hands had already pinched her cheeks.

"Pfft~ Adventurer, why are you so nervous sometimes?"

Seeing Ye Qing's face reddening to her ears, Beatrice couldn't help but feel like teasing her.

But too much is as bad as too little. If this continues, I'm afraid it will drive people crazy~

Although there had been a precedent like the one with Huangfu Wen Ning, it didn't go so far as to say this. It was more like a courtesy kiss, which made Ye Qing, who used to be a straight man, feel hot in the head.

But she didn't lose her rationality. As Beatrice held her and they looked at each other, Ye Qing's excited heartbeat slowly calmed down.

"Are you calm now?"

"It's okay... Don't do this again."

Ye Qing put his hand over his lips, looked at Beatrice, and said weakly, this is probably the most obvious weakness of this "strong man" now.

Cute child~

Beatrice also took out an emerald necklace from the ring formed by the tree roots, stretched her arms behind Ye Qing, and was about to put it on her but was stopped by Ye Qing.

"what is this?"

Ye Qing raised his head slightly and looked at Beatrice, who was a head taller than him.

Although he already had a guess in his mind, Ye Qing still wanted to get the answer from Beatrice.

"It is a fragment of the power of the underground palace. Since you defeated the incarnation of Gorgon, you are naturally qualified to master it."

Beatrice withdrew her hands and closed the emerald necklace in her palms, looking happy and relaxed.

Beatrice no longer wanted to guard this power that was like a "curse".

"But this will cause those negative reactions, right?"

Ye Qing looked at the jade necklace. She didn't want to be affected when entering the dungeon, so she looked at the necklace with caution.

"So, I have purified the remaining power inside. It is up to you to decide where to use the remaining power."

After hearing what Beatrice said, Ye Qing no longer refused and took the jade necklace from her.

The jade felt like warm water in the hand, making Ye Qing feel warm in both hands.

Such equipment can't possibly have any negative effects, right?

"Thank you, Beatrice."

Ye Qing looked at Beatrice in front of him and said solemnly, with a look of relief in his eyes.

"Why thank you? I'm so happy that you took away this big trouble for me. Go back quickly. Your companions must be worried."

Beatrice waved her hand, and a portal made of tree roots and water surface appeared above the originally calm pond.

For some reason, when Ye Qing saw Beatrice turn around and walk towards the ancient trees, he always had a feeling that it would be difficult to see her again.

Chapter 24 Tenacity

ps: Today is the second update, and I still owe six more

When he walked to the portal, Ye Qing couldn't help but look back at Beatrice.

Although he knew that it was just a character in the game, Ye Qing still had an inexplicable feeling.

Perhaps it was because of the virtual reality, or perhaps it was because Ye Qing and Beatrice experienced this deadly battle together.

"Beatrice!"

This made Beatrice, who was about to walk into the ancient wood, stop and look at Ye Qing in confusion, as if she didn't quite understand why she called her.

"I will go to the fruit shop again tomorrow. I will definitely go."

After saying this, Ye Qing walked through the portal without looking back and disappeared into space.

Beatrice was left standing alone surrounded by the ancient trees, smiling and sighing.

After passing through the portal, Ye Qing was directly teleported to his original location.

But that paradise-like place disappeared, and the ancient trees surrounding it finally seemed to merge into one, turning into towering giant trees, standing tall above the earth.

Looking around, Ye Qing opened the friend menu and found that options such as voice had been restored, and everyone had left messages.

Feili and Yue Liang naturally logged off after completing their mission. They probably had something to do offline, so they left a message to Ye Qing to contact them later if there was anything.

Glasses is already in the dungeon guide. Although I don’t know how many floors he has reached now, on the first day of the server opening, under the guidance of a veteran, he should be able to complete the first floor at the fastest.

As for Huangfu Wen Ning, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel confused for a moment when she looked at her status bar.

"Arai area? What is that?"

This is indeed a mechanism that Ye Qing has never seen before. Before his rebirth, Ye Qing had already completed the strategy for most of the maps and dungeons in Divine Realm Fantasy, but this Arai?

After thinking about it carefully, unless it was an insignificant area, Ye Qing should have remembered it when he saw the name.

Forget it, I’ll just ask Huangfu Wenning later and I’ll find out.

Just when Ye Qing was about to continue checking in on other friends, a voice call request suddenly popped up.

Player: Huangfu applied for a voice call

Without thinking too much, Ye Qing answered the voice call.

"Sister Huangfu, what's wrong?"

"......It's nothing. I just wanted to ask why you suddenly hung up the voice call just now. Are you okay?"

Ye Qing could vaguely hear the sound of swords clashing from Huangfu Wenning's side, and guessed that she was in a combat state.
