The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 579 Plucking Branches and Turning into a Human

Warriors had no interest in drinking. They could easily dispel the effects of alcohol by using their cultivation. In that case, the wine was no different from water.

For the people in Jianghu, they attended wedding ceremonies to have fun and make more friends in the chaotic world.

Chu Xun drove Yan Wushuang away. His idea to make Bi Keyun and Yan Guilai a couple shocked Chu Xun. What a good son.

Flaming Qilin seemed to be keen on the idea. He accepted Yan Wushuang’s request and went to find Yan Guilai.

Chu Xun shook his head. He thought maybe Yan Guilai wouldn’t say anything, but Bi Keyun wouldn’t tolerate Flaming Qilin’s words.

It took not long that Flaming Qilin went back in low spirits.

“What the fuck. The woman doesn’t know what’s good for her. On hearing my words, she began to curse loudly and wanted to take action against me. If it had not been for Wushuang, I would have a smack on her face,” Flaming Qilin cursed.

Chu Xun laughed secretly. Bi Keyun agreed on the marriage of Yao Baiyue and Yan Wushuang because of Chu Xun. She wanted him to protect the Chamber of Lead-Glass like an amulet. If someone persuaded her to get married, she would not agree. She was always insisting on the ancient rules. Flaming Qilin was not afraid of death and persuaded her to find a husband. It would be strange if Miss Bi didn’t scold him.

The guests didn’t leave until the third day of Yan Wushuang’s wedding ceremony.

Chu Xun and Flaming Qilin bid their farewells to Yan Wushuang.

“Why not stay for a few more days? Let’s go together after I’ve settled everything,” Yan Wushuang was a straightforward person and was used to explore in the world. He thought Yanxue City was too quiet. He planned to take Yao Baiyue with him and explore the world.

Chu Xun asked Yan Wushuang to wait for him on Dream Hell Mountain after finishing his work. Yan Wushuang and Yao Baiyue’s marriage reminded Flaming Qilin of Su Wei’er. He wanted to go to the Elf race with Chu Xun.

Chu Xun stayed in Yanxue City for one more day. Before leaving, he helped each of the Yan family, the Chamber of Lead-Glass, and the Tianyin Pavilion set up a defensive formation separately.

Two days later, Chu Xun and Flaming Qilin arrived at the Elf race.

“Chu Xun, I thought that you would never come to the Elf race again,” the Queen of Elves said in a little surprise.

Su Wei’er looked excited because Flaming Qilin had returned. She had thought that Flaming Qilin wouldn’t return to the Elf race for the rest of his life.

“I’m here to find Elf Divine Tree,” Chu Xun said and left.

“Queen of Elves, please don’t mind. He is always like this,” Flaming Qilin had completely restrained his arrogance. It was because the Queen of Elves in front of him was like Bi Keyun. It depended on the Queen of Elves whether he and Su Wei’er could be together or not.

“Flaming Qilin, Chu Xun returned to find the Elf Divine Tree. Who are you looking for?” The Queen of Elves looked at Flaming Qilin.

“I’m... I’m here to have a visit with Chu Xun.” Flaming Qilin looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Su Wei’er.

“OK, how about letting Wei’er accompany you around?” The Queen of Elves asked.

“OK...” Flaming Qilin nodded fiercely and then felt that he looked a bit explicit. He put away his excitement and said, “Thank you, the Queen of Elves.”

“Wei’er, please accompany him around. I am a little tired now. I’ll go and take a rest,” the Queen of Elves finished her words and left.

Only Su Wei’er, her maid, and Flaming Qilin were left here. Flaming Qilin was a little stunned. “There is something wrong with the Queen of Elves. Is it possible that she doesn’t know anything about him and Su Wei’er. Could it be that she deliberately creates opportunities for him to be with Su Wei’er?” With the thought, he grinned.

Chu Xun didn’t lie to the Queen of Elves. He came to the Elf race to see the Spirit of the Divine Tree. He had promised the Spirit that he would come back to see her.

Chu Xun’s divine soul got out of his body and rushed into the world in the tree.

“Nice to see you,” the Spirit was happy to see Chu Xun.

“Long time no see,” Chu Xun also smiled. The Spirit of the Divine Tree was simple, with the only idea to protect the Elf race. Chu Xun didn’t have to worry about anything when chatting with her. They just talked about what they wanted.

“Chu Xun, is there anything interesting outside?” The Spirit fluttered her transparent wings and flew over. Then she sat quietly next to Chu Xun.

Chu Xun knew that everything in the outside world was interesting for her because she had never left here.

Chu Xun was not good at telling stories. He talked about common things outside, but she was still interested when listening.

“How about getting out of here?” Chu Xun said. He wanted to take her out. On the one hand, she was lonely here; on the other hand, Chu Xun had an idea.

Mo Yan had planned to harm him but failed. Mo Yan wasn’t ordinary. Although having never fought the present doppelganger of Mo Yan, Chu Xun knew that it was absolutely not easy to deal with.

If faced with Mo Yan alone, his strength would be similar to Mo Yan’s. It would be uneasy to kill Mo Yan. However, if he had the Spirit together, Mo Yan couldn’t flee faced with her.

“But I cannot get out of here. It is my responsibility to protect the Elf race,” the Spirit of the Divine Tree said softly.

“The Elf race is very safe now. Not only are there foggy areas outside, but also the Queen of Elves. I can also set up a formation at the entrance to ensure the safety of the Elf race,” Chu Xun said.

The Spirit of the Divine Tree was tempted. It wasn’t because that she couldn’t get out. Because she had to keep her promise, she stayed there all the time.

Seeing that the Spirit was tempted, Chu Xun told her how fun and interesting the outside world was to attract her. He found he was like a strange uncle tempting a little girl with lollipops.

“You don’t have to get out for too long. You can come back at any time if you want,” Chu Xun said.

The Spirit thought for a moment and then nodded. “Alright, I’ll get out with you and take a look outside. If it’s not as fun as you say, I’ll come back.”

Chu Xun restrained the joy in his heart and took out Dragon’s Wrath, and said, “You can get into it for the time being.”

The Spirit looked at the Dragon’s Wrath in Chu Xun’s hand curiously. Then she raised her hand and patted the blade gently. The Tao Wu’s spirit got out of it.

The Tao Wu’s spirit was furious and roared at the Spirit of the Divine Tree. However, the Spirit raised her finger and tapped it gently. Layers of ripples appeared and fixed Tao Wu’s spirit in the air.

Chu Xun was surprised and happy. The Spirit’s cultivation was far beyond his expectation. Although in resuscitation, she was so strong.

“It is an ancient beast, Tao Wu, right?” The Spirit asked.

Chu Xun was a little surprised and asked her, “How did you know?” She had never gotten out before. How did she know it?

“I don’t know. When I was young, the master seemed to have killed a Tao Wu. I can’t remember the details,” the Spirit said.

Chu Xun was a little confused. The Spirit had said that she was planted here tens of millions of years ago. It seemed that the person who planted her was powerful.

The Spirit raised her hand gently. The ripples spread out. The Tao Wu’s spirit was unsealed and got free. It raised its head and roared angrily, pouncing on the Spirit with monstrous power. With a casual wave of her hand, the Spirit slapped it away.

Tao Wu’s spirit was afraid of the Spirit. It roared affectedly twice and rushed into Dragon’s Wrath.

“You can get into it. I’ll take you to the outside world,” Chu Xun motioned the Spirit to enter Dragon’s Wrath.

“What is the difference between being trapped in and being here?” She said. “I want to leave and be free.”

Chu Xun was surprised. “To be free?”

She raised her hand and waved it gently. Several tender branches stretched out. She plucked the branches and pieced them together like a human figure. Then she flapped her wings, burst out a hazy light, and walked toward the human figure made of branches.

The hazy light became more and more dazzling like a small sun exploding. Chu Xun closed his eyes subconsciously.

When he opened his eyes, he was shocked. He stared blankly at the Spirit that had turned the branches into a body.

She was no longer a simple spirit now but had flesh and blood. She was three meters tall and in light armor. Her breasts were the same high as Chu Xun’s head. Chu Xun felt a little embarrassed and quickly turned around.

“How do I look?” The Spirit flew around Chu Xun happily.

Chu Xun smiled bitterly. Her appearance did not change. Jing Hong was probably the only one who could compare with her in terms of beauty. But she was formed by a Spiritual Body, so she had an ethereal temperament, like a wisp of air, making it look a little unreal.

“Can you be a little shorter?” Chu Xun asked. Her three-meter-tall body would cause chaos wherever she went.

“How high?” She asked.

“Just a few centimeters shorter than me,” Chu Xun said.

“OK,” the Spirit looked at Chu Xun for a while and then turned her fingers into a blade. With a flash of light, she cut off part of her legs.

Chu Xun was speechless. Her operation looked strange.

After having been cut off, with no blood, the legs turned into branches.

“How do I look now?” The Spirit asked.

Chu Xun nodded. She was a few centimeters shorter than him now and taller than ordinary women. She looked like a normal human being at least.

“Well... Can you fold your wings?” Chu Xun asked.

“Yes,” her wings trembled and began to dissipate.

Chu Xun nodded with satisfaction. After checking everything, they left the world inside the tree.

“Please wait for me here. Don’t let others find you,” Chu Xun said and went to find Flaming Qilin.

Next to the lake, Flaming Qilin was duping Su Wei’er and boasting. Su Wei’er was stunned when she heard that. The innocent girl immediately became Flaming Qilin’s fan.

Chu Xun came forward and said to Flaming Qilin, “It’s time to leave.”

“Now?” Flaming Qilin was stunned. It had only been a few hours since they arrived. He was a little unhappy and pulled Chu Xun to the side. He said, “Chu the Devil, what do you mean? You and Wushuang both have got married. I have seen Wei’er for not long, but you are asking me to leave.”

Chu Xun smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect the visit to be so successful. It didn’t take long to trick the Spirit to get out.

“Well, you can take the Sacred Maiden with you. We can go together,” Chu Xun coaxed Flaming Qilin. “As long as we go outside, Su Wei’er will be alone and helpless and can only rely on you. At that time, your relationship will improve by leaps and bounds.”

Flaming Qilin was tempted and felt that the words were reasonable.
