Bai Qianqian didn't utter a word until the two of them walked into the bathing beach.

Then she ran away crying.

"Wow, wow, wow!" The girl wiped her tears and ran, running very far away.

When she ran around a corner, she suddenly bumped into a soft body and they both fell at the same time.

"Qianqian, what happened to you?" the woman who was hit asked with some concern.

Bai Qianqian could now see clearly who was coming. It was the person she was closest to in the Holy Lord Hall besides her master.

She was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties, but of course her real age was much older than that.

She was wearing a red and pink palace dress. The hem of the long skirt was made of somewhat transparent black tulle, and a pair of long, straight ivory legs could be vaguely seen.

The neckline was bulging out due to her plump figure, and it seemed that it would burst out with every step she took.

The jade-like skin exposed on her neck was unforgettable at first sight. Her black hair was tied into a bun with a white jade hairpin on her head.

The woman's clothing was somewhat bold.

But considering that all the people in the Holy Lord's Hall are women, this is not a big problem.

This person's name is Dongfang Jingrou. When Master was chosen as the previous Saint, she became her maid, and later became the Saint's steward.

Later, when the master became the Holy Lord, she was still the steward, but she changed from the steward of the Holy Maiden to the steward of the Holy Lord's Hall.

During this process, her title did not change, but the number of people she managed increased many times over.

Although Dongfang Jingrou was considered a servant, her status in the holy land was not low, and many inner sect elders had to look at her face.

Although she is only the head steward of the Holy Lord Temple, she possesses remarkable insights and conversation skills. She has long been a meticulous assistant to Mu Wanyi.

"Aunt Jing, I...ah, I'm fine." After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed nothing serious, and Bai Qianqian was embarrassed to trouble the woman in front of her.

But Dongfang Jingrou was good at observing people's words and expressions, and she could see that Qianqian had been very worried recently.

If she wasn't so busy with various affairs, she really would have to have a good communication with this girl.

PS: I’m organizing my thoughts and preparing for the next big plot, so I’ll write some daily life first.

Chapter 112: Mandarin Duck Bath (Revised)

In a dark underground cave.

The walls of this cave were covered in red flesh and blood, and you could even smell the blood when you walked inside. You could even see what looked like blood vessels wriggling on the walls, which was extremely disgusting and grotesque.

A mass of sticky flesh and blood crawled into this palace of flesh and blood that was shaped like a uterus.

Deep within the palace lies a throne of flesh and blood, where sits a woman shrouded in mist.

"How did you become like this?" The woman on the throne glanced at the squirming mass of flesh below and said in a cold tone.

The red piece of flesh did not respond to her words, but kept changing its shape, as if it wanted to express something.

Unfortunately, it has no hands and cannot use sign language.

The woman in the mist frowned. She raised her hand and pointed, and a cloud of red mist enveloped the mass of flesh and blood.

Then the ball of flesh began to wriggle violently, and after a period of deformation, it turned into a naked woman.

The woman born from flesh and blood was clearly Fairy Qin Yue. She was lying on the ground with her forehead pressed against the ground, appearing very respectful.

"My Lady Mother, I failed. The guzheng fell into the hands of the black-robed divine envoy. Moreover, my identity was exposed." Qin Yue told the woman above this matter with some trepidation.

In fact, that woman was not her biological mother.

[Mother] is just her code name in the organization.

And Qin Yue is just one of the many "children" of [Mother].

"Since you've failed, why do you still have the guts to come back?" The [Mother]'s tone grew colder. As a [Mother], she had the power to decide life and death over these "children."

She had already known from other channels that the black-robed divine envoy had taken away the treasure.

But what concerned him was another matter.

"What did you say? I allowed you to infiltrate the Miaoyin Sect so that I could elevate you to the position of Saintess and control the Miaoyin Sect in the future. Now you tell me that all my efforts were in vain."

[Mother] was filled with anger when she heard the news. If she didn't want to hear Qin Yue's explanation, she might not have allowed the people below to stay here any longer.

Qin Yue suddenly felt a mountain-like pressure coming towards her, and blood immediately spurted out of her mouth.

Although the one above is called "Mother", she is not kind at all, and is even notoriously cruel in the Dark Nest.

These "children" of hers were merely tools for her to achieve her goals and could be sacrificed at will when necessary.

They were not born with a strong will, yet they yearned for great power. As the price of power, they were all subject to the constraints of [Mother].

This is also why Qin Yue, knowing full well how cruel her [mother] was, still chose to return after the mission failed.

Because no matter where I escape to, I will be found by [Mother].

Rather than running away and being caught, it is better to apologize directly to Mother.

Qin Yue lay on the ground, not daring to move, her body already drenched with sweat. Her mouths were tightly shut, not daring to say a word.

The Dark Nest has sent out many pawns and placed them in various forces, which is closely related to their plan.

They don't expect every chess piece to play a significant role, but there are always some lucky ones who can be reused by those forces.

Qin Yue had hoped to become such a lucky person, but she still failed.

Her mother's questioning hit her like a heavy hammer. She said nothing and accepted any criticism from the other party very respectfully.

"Then how did you get exposed?" the mother asked with interest.

The chess pieces of Dark Nest have all undergone professional training, and have emerged from hundreds of seedlings like raising insects.

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Yue felt a chill down her spine and her whole body trembled.

Yes, that's how she was exposed.

In fact, she wasn't very clear either.

That day, the sword fairy in white stopped her and wanted to duel with her without saying a word.

She also said that her master said she was very dangerous.

It's just baffling.

And the look in that man's eyes seemed to see through her disguise.

She had a good memory and was quite sure she didn't know them, but they seemed to have noticed her problem.

She told her mother about the man and woman she met that day, not daring to hide anything.

"So you don't even know how you were exposed. You're really useless."

The Wutong Wood Immortal Zither was of great importance; it was a truly significant opportunity. The Black-Cloaked Divine Envoy entered the Dark Nest much later than his mother, and his strength was only at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, so his status naturally couldn't compare to his mother, who had already reached the late Void Refinement Stage.

But if the black-robed divine envoy had taken the opportunity for himself, perhaps this younger generation would have surpassed him.

This is something my mother cannot tolerate.

Qin Yue felt that her mother's anger was about to solidify into substance, and she trembled.

Suddenly she heard the sound of something moving.

Even without looking up, she could detect it with her spiritual sense.

Flesh tentacles extended from the flesh walls inside the flesh palace and reached towards her.

At that moment, Qin Yue's pupils shrank to the size of needles, and her instinct for survival made her scream at the top of her lungs, "Mother, spare my life. Please give me one more chance. I can make amends. Please, I don't want to die. No."

On the throne of flesh and blood, the mist surrounding the female figure dissipated.

However, it was not a living person at all, but a mass of flesh that resembled the curves of a woman's body.

Mother is never a single person, or rather, she can be any female creature, or this palace of flesh and blood.

Qin Yue's dying screams resounded throughout the palace of flesh and blood, but unfortunately she did not receive mercy from her mother.

……

At the same time, in the bathhouse in the Holy Lord's Temple.

Senior sister and brother, no, it would be more appropriate to say that they are a couple at this time.

They are taking a bath together.

"You said that this incident in Chuanliu City is related to evil cultivators?"

The bathtub was filled with mist, and the two close friends were chatting while bathing.

Just after listening to Zhao Kangping's story, Mu Wanyi, who was giving him a back massage, suddenly stopped.

"Yes, I dealt with a monster in the city. I suspect that monster is related to the missing head of the Treasure Pavilion's Chuanliu City branch."

Over the past few days, the Holy Land has investigated and learned that the Treasure Pavilion has been infiltrated by an unknown force. Zhao Kangping, having read the original plot, knows that the force is called Dark Nest.

However, this organization has not surfaced yet, and it is not convenient for him to directly call out the name of this organization, as that would be a bit suspicious.

"Well~Okay, that's it. I think we need to pay more attention to the power behind this. It might become a serious threat in the future." He had to remind his senior sister to pay enough attention to this secret nest.

In fact, the Dark Nest is an elite force. It does not have many members, but its main backbones are all very powerful evil leaders.

If we can target this evil organization hiding in the dark, it will not be difficult to inflict heavy damage on them.

The hard part is finding them.

In the original plot, it was relatively late, when the Dark Nest took advantage of the chaos in the world to stir up trouble, and was just caught by the protagonists, and then one of their backbones was killed.

The protagonists then followed the clues and found their base camp, and finally joined forces with multiple forces to destroy the organization.

However, the original book did not specify the exact location of its base camp.

It is only said that it is located in an underground space somewhere in Zhongzhou.

However, Zhongzhou is so big and it is the territory of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, so it is not easy for them, the Zi Yang Holy Land, to go there to investigate.

"I will ask someone to investigate this matter. But there is another thing that worries me." Mu Wanyi swam in the water a few times, then came to Mr. Zhao, then sat in his arms with her back to him.

This posture is somewhat dangerous and it is easy to cause an accidental discharge of the gun.

Zhao Kangping knew that his senior sister was deliberately teasing him, so she didn't even try to hide it and came directly and openly.

Woman, you are playing with fire, and you are playing with fire in a powder keg, you know that.

"What, what happened?" Zhao Kangping's voice trembled slightly.

Senior sister is such an annoying vixen, always trying to push his boundaries.

"It was during the auction held in Chuanliu City that many people from various sects came, including some unripe geniuses. All of them were killed in Chuanliu City. Although Baibao Pavilion took most of the blame, the city is still under the control of our Holy Land."

"Our Holy Land is still strong for now, and they dare not hold us responsible. But you also know that the current prosperity of the Holy Land is nothing but a mirage, a reflection in the mirror. To be honest, among the young talents of our Holy Land, no one can shoulder the great responsibility of the Holy Lord."

"Xueqing only knows how to practice swordsmanship and is not suitable for being entrusted with important tasks. Qianqian is immature and still as naive as a little girl. I'm really worried that if she becomes the Holy Lord, she might not be able to defeat those elders."

"The rest of the younger generation is mediocre in talent and lacks the ability to shoulder the responsibilities of the government. I'm truly afraid that by the time their generation takes power, the Holy Land will have declined to its full potential."

Before Mu Wanyi became a Saint, she had already earned a great reputation. But now, among the young disciples, she couldn't find anyone she could entrust with important tasks.

Before she became the Holy Lord, Mu Wanyi thought that as long as she was strong enough, she could convince everyone.

But she was wrong, so wrong.

People's hearts are unpredictable.

She has seen too much hypocrisy.

Some people would flatter her as the Holy Lord on the surface, but would show another face behind her back.

Thinking of these things ruined her mood.

It’s better not to mention the things that make her unhappy.

"Senior Sister, you are still young, you can definitely continue to be in charge of the Holy Land. We can wait for the younger generation to grow up. Besides, you still have me."

She was a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage, with a lifespan of 5,000 years. She was only over 300 years old now, which was indeed quite young compared to her lifespan. Zhao Kangping hugged her tightly and encouraged her.

The course of history has been changed, and he believes he can do a lot to help his senior sister.

"That's nice to say, but can you not rub it so hard? It's annoying that you just like rubbing these few pounds of flesh." She grabbed his hand and turned her head to say coquettishly.
