Chapter 71: Da Jinmao Turns into Human Form
Asilan was momentarily distracted.
The lion, whose mind had completely collapsed and whose consciousness was utterly twisted, heard that incredibly familiar voice and also faltered in its attack.
Its pair of blood-red, murky double pupils reflected the exquisite and beautiful figure of the little Cixing in the distance. Its pupils rapidly contracted and trembled. Its emotions seemed to be triggered by a massive stimulus; its fur stood on end. It let out a low roar and then, regardless of everything, lunged toward her, broke through the shield, picked her up in its mouth, and ran toward the mountain forest.
(Seeking death!)
(You dare touch my Master!)
Asilan snapped back to reality, a cold, murderous light erupting in his eyes. He activated his full Zhandouli and chased after them.
“Da Jinmao? Da Jinmao?”
“Da Jinmao, wake up!”
“Da Jinmao, do you still recognize me?”
“Da Jinmao…”
Under Su Miantang’s constant shouting, the lion finally stopped. It placed her in a narrow cave. Just as she thought he had finally regained consciousness—
His eyes suddenly bulged as if they would burst, and he roared at her with a ferocious expression. “Awoo—”
From that voice filled with deep anger and sorrow, she could feel… he hated her.
(Why?)
(Why did you lie to me?)
(Why did you abandon me?)
(Why are you exactly like those people?)
(Why… are you so cruel…)
(I hate you! I hate you to death!)
He bared his sharp teeth and opened his massive mouth, wanting to swallow her in one bite! If he swallowed her, they would never be separated again, right?
However…
When he touched her skin from inches away, he couldn’t bear to do it.
(Ah—)
He threw his head back and let out a mournful cry. He actually developed the thought of suicide.
Let it end.
This life full of pain and disaster, where not a single person loved him, should have ended long ago.
He turned around, intending to smash himself against the mountain covered in jagged rocks.
Unexpectedly, just as he gave up on biting the little Cixing, she looked as if her life were being threatened. A mysterious light gradually gathered in her amber pupils.
Then, she bit down hard on the back of his neck.
“Ugh—”
In an instant, a rich and sweet Xinxisu followed her fangs, surging into the lion’s body like a tidal wave. It made his four pupils tremble madly and dilate infinitely. He had clearly lost all focus and luster. He was experiencing a pleasure so intense it was beyond description; he no longer possessed even a shred of aggression.
At the same time, within the mountain forest, the Imperial City, and even the entire Zhongyang Cheng, peonies burst into bloom. These flowers floated in the air, colorful and beautiful in every posture. They filled every inch of the air, appearing in an extremely bizarre and spectacular fashion. It left people shocked, yet not panicked at all.
Because they emitted a golden light from their entire form, shining brightly. Their sacredness made all Xiongxing obsessed and longing, while all Cixing developed a heart of submission and support.
On the flying warship, Fred and Enzuo looked at the countless flowers outside the cabin window. Their hearts throbbed wildly. They unconsciously murmured, “Tangtang~”
Inside the scientific laboratory, Lu Sili, who was focused on mixing chemical reagents, suddenly found his entire mind occupied by his beloved little Cixing.
In the Imperial City, Hua Rong curiously picked up a white peony, only to unexpectedly catch a fresh and elegant scent of bamboo leaves—his favorite Xinxisu scent.
At the foot of the mountain, Asilan, whose body was filled with a murderous aura, seemed to be suddenly soothed by something. His mind became inexplicably calm.
The five of them, in different places and different scenarios, were all guided by the same strong and mysterious force, walking toward the source of the fragrance.
As for the lion…
Feeling the endless warm current flowing into his body, his pair of blood-red, murky eyes gradually turned into a clear azure blue. His completely twisted consciousness slowly returned to his body, and his collapsed mental state was repaired bit by bit. Even the gene sequence that had been destroyed and modified by experiments was rearranged according to its original structure.
Until he turned into a human.
Only then did Su Miantang regain her reason and slowly release her hold.
In an instant, the thousands of beautiful peonies blooming across the city also vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
The billions of citizens whose minds had been lost to the flowers also suddenly woke up.
The Xingwang instantly exploded.
The tag #PeoniesBloomAcrossCity quickly crushed #GeneralAsilanResurrected and #CrownPrinceMentalCollapse to reach the number one spot on the trending list.
[Heavens, am I hallucinating? Why did peonies suddenly bloom all over Zhongyang Cheng and then suddenly vanish?]
[Definitely not a hallucination! The scene was too gorgeous and spectacular; I was mesmerized!]
[…I’m embarrassed to say, but when I woke up just now, I was kneeling.]
[+1. It was truly too beautiful, too moving, and too holy. By the Shoushen, I am willing to offer my heart to it!]
[Why did this suddenly happen? Is it some kind of divine miracle?]
[Has anyone noticed that after those flowers appeared, the battle between the Shangjiang and the Huangtaizi stopped? Their figures are no longer in the livestream. Could it really be a miracle from the gods?]
[Someone just looked into it, but the conclusion is ridiculous. They said the color and luster of those flowers looked like… an Xinxiti!]
[How is that possible?! Even an excellent A-grade Cixing can only summon an Xinxiti the size of a palm. This was a city full of peonies! What kind of explosive grade would that have to be? That’s just too much of a stretch!]
[Yeah, I’d rather believe it was a miracle from the gods than believe that was an Xinxiti!]
[If—I’m saying if that really was an Xinxiti—I can’t imagine what a powerful grade that Cixing would be. Such a noble and rare existence would cause a war across the entire Interstellar, right?]
[Dreaming much? I think all you single Xiongxing have gone crazy from wanting a Cixing!]
[You can hear any kind of rumor online. Stop guessing blindly and just wait for the Central Department news report.]
“This is…”
In the valley.
Wanghou Zhanni looked at the peony that was gradually vanishing in her palm. Her usually calm heart was swept with massive waves.
“An Xinxiti?!”
Others might not recognize it, but she could identify it at a glance!
When she was a minor, she was an S-grade Cixing and could only bloom a tiny perfume lily in her palm. By the time she was twenty-two, she differentiated into SS-grade and could freely bloom a lily half a person tall. A golden light would faintly radiate around the flower, and it would vanish instantly once she retracted the Xinxisu. It was exactly the same as those peonies just now.
The only difference was that she only had one, while just now there were thousands upon thousands, too many to count!
She didn’t dare to think…
Just what level of powerful Cixing had the Empire awakened!
Before she could process the shock, she followed the scent and chased after her son.
(What happened to me? Why did I suddenly bite a lion?)
Su Miantang shook her head and opened her eyes, only to see… she was no longer biting a lion, but a person. A grown man with golden hair.
