Chapter 2530 - 2528: Fake Fairy
The group of women entered together and immediately locked eyes with Little Kirin and the others from a distance.
The five Little Kirin didn’t plan to hide at all, gnawing on the fish meat and meeting their gaze.
The group of women were initially stunned, then pointed at them and shouted, "You, what are you doing?"
"You have the nerve to roast meat in the Hundred Flowers Palace?"
"Which courtyard’s attendants are you? Are you courting death?"
"..."
They may look like delicate ladies, but they were no less capable, summoning longswords and surrounding Little Kirin and the others.
Only the leading woman in the front locked eyes with Little Kirin and was stunned for a long time.
Both of them felt an electric sensation in their minds, as if they had met before.
Little Bai tugged at Little Kirin and said, "Boss, the ladies have surrounded us. At least say something!"
Little Xuan grinned from behind, "Looks like the boss has a crush on one of the ladies."
Little Qing and Vermilion Bird exchanged glances, shrugged, and chuckled, "She is indeed quite beautiful, somewhat resembles Second Madam."
Little Kirin quickly stuffed the grilled fish into his mouth, gobbling it up and wiping his blackened mouth, he mumbled, "Ladies, everyone calm down. We’re here on a mission and will leave right away."
One of the ladies shouted, "On a mission? Whose orders?"
Little Kirin bluffed, "Of course, it’s the order of the East Sea Dragon King! He sent us to check the ponds of the Heavenly Court, saying there’s a dragon plague spreading recently. Whoever has dragon bloodlines must be seriously checked. Look at us, we’re testing for poison firsthand. The fish here seems fine, we should check elsewhere."
He grabbed Little Bai and the others, attempting to leave, leaving the ladies initially stunned, only to react and reform the sword array around them, "Nonsense, what status does the Dragon King hold to issue orders in the Heavenly Court?"
One lady found the lake missing fish and hurriedly shouted to everyone, "Sisters, look, the dragon-headed fish in our lake are gone. These were gifts from the Celestial Maiden of the Heavenly Mountains to our Hundred Flowers Palace, and now there isn’t a single one left."
"What?"
Everyone turned to look at the lake, and indeed, there wasn’t a single fish left inside.
The group of women were furious, their eyes bulged like bronze bells, shouting at Little Kirin, "Did you steal the fish from this lake?"
"Don’t waste time with them, let’s take them to see Auntie Hua."
"Don’t believe them, this group is a bunch of thieves!"
"..."
The ladies were evidently agitated, with someone already pulling out a rope to tie up Little Kirin and the others.
Though they appeared delicate, they were all True Immortal level.
Seeing the situation turning bad, Little Kirin quickly used a spatial law, shouting at the group of women, "Stop!"
He immobilized the space around, fixing the group of fairies in place.
Little Kirin flashed over and clasped the neck of the daydreaming female immortal.
He whispered, "Miss, sorry about this, we’re just hungry and came for a bite, no malicious intent."
The woman, still calm, blushed being clasped by a large man, and said, "Then why don’t you let me go and leave quickly?"
Little Kirin said, "Can’t leave yet, I heard from them just now, are you from the Hundred Flowers Palace?"
"And so what?"
The female immortal’s eyes shifted.
Little Kirin asked her, "Then do you know where the back garden of the Heavenly Court is? The place with many flowers, plants, and trees."
Little Bai sauntered over, chuckling, "The Peach Garden works too. I’ve heard eating just one peach there can make a person immortal, with a lifespan as long as heaven’s."
The female immortal realized that this group was indeed a band of bandits!
They carried an air of sophistication, unexpectedly, they were such people.
Her face turned cold, she raised her neck and said, "Kill if you must, I won’t be your accomplice."
Little Kirin chuckled lightly, "I already said, we’re here for a plague inspection, why would we kill you. If you don’t show us, we’ll find it ourselves."
He raised his hand and lightly chopped the female immortal’s neck.
Her head tilted, and she immediately toppled to the ground.
Little Bai clicked his tongue from behind, "Big brother, you really don’t cherish beauty. I think that female immortal seemed interested in you just now. Now it’s over, she definitely takes us as robbers."
Little Kirin rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you talking about? She’s a fairy, beyond emotions and desires. I’ll set up a formation first to contain these ladies."
He raised his hand, took all the tokens from the women.
Then took out spirit stones, arranged a spatial formation on the ground, and put the ladies inside.
Once inside the formation, they were immediately isolated from the outside world.
The five of them had learned some skills from Long Fei.
Little Kirin specialized in formations, Little Bai mastered speed, Little Qing focused on swordsmanship, and Vermilion Bird learned alchemy rules.
Little Xuan specialized in defensive arts, possessing strong aptitude in time law.
He could foresee the future and read the past.
In battle, he would defend while deciphering the opponent’s moves, giving the siblings warnings.
Little Kirin and the others took the tokens and each transformed into the appearance of a female immortal.
Little Xuan had a turtle shell on his back, hidden under broad celestial robes, appearing somewhat hunched.
The three of them wore white palace dresses, amusing Little Qing and Vermilion Bird to the point of laughter, and they took a few selfies with their phones.
With no guide, they had to find their way on their own.
This task was entrusted to Little Qing. She, being a wood spirit, had innate perception of flora.
Wherever the essential qi of plants was abundant, they wandered there.
In their search, they ended up above the Peach Garden.
This Peach Garden was vast, covered by a spatial barrier.
Inside, laborers carried large barrels, watering, fertilizing, and weeding the garden.
At the entrance stood a pair of Heavenly Soldiers guarding it.
Little Kirin exchanged glances with his siblings and descended together at the entrance.
The guards recognized the appearance Little Kirin had transformed into, saluted and smiled, "Lady Zixuan, why are you here again?"
Little Kirin and his crew, quick-witted, realized these fairies of the Hundred Flowers Palace had just been here.
He made an excuse, "Oh, it’s like this. We were inspecting the peach trees inside just now and found a few diseased ones that need treatment. So we went back to fetch some spiritual medicine, and now we’re here to treat those peach trees."
"I see!"
The guards nodded, gesturing to let them pass.
"Thank you, General!"
Little Kirin mimicked a lady’s mannerisms, bowing and saluting, almost making the four behind him burst into laughter.
Once inside, the group of guards at the gate erupted, exclaiming, "Oh my, Lady Zixuan’s smile is truly beautiful."
"The renowned beauty of the Hundred Flowers Palace, truly lives up to the name."
"General, she just smiled at you!"
"Could she be interested in you, General?"
"Who knows, there’s word that the Heavenly Court might soon lift the marriage ban, allowing immortals to wed. General, you should make a move first, take this chance to get close to Lady Zixuan."
"..."
