Chapter 1041, 【2】 "It Was Me Who Came First"
Ye Wenxin, whose ego had inflated tremendously, once again glanced at Han Shanxue. Her expression remained as cold as ever, as though she hadn't noticed that Gu Qingcheng and Ye Wenxin were one and the same.
Whether she had realized it or not, everything Ye Wenxin was about to do would soon expose her true identity.
In this dire situation, Ye Wenxin gently took the Queen Bee's hand. "Mother, can I go first?" Ye Wenxin looked at the Queen Bee, trying to demonstrate her prowess as the 'Peach Blossom Immortal Sovereign' before the Queen Bee got hurt.
The Queen Bee seemed entirely in the dark. Without the capabilities of a Flower Slave or someone like Zhi Zihua, she had no idea that Ye Wenxin was hiding far more than she imagined.
"Child, aren't you just sending yourself to your death?"
The Queen Bee's straightforwardness left Ye Wenxin exasperated. After thinking it over, Ye Wenxin took a few steps back and released the restrictions on her cultivation.
Her cultivation level began to rise, one stage at a time, until it reached her current level: the third phase of the Tribulation Crossing stage.
The Queen Bee's expression dimmed. "So, you've lied to me about many things."
Her face was full of disappointment, and her misty eyes made it seem as if Ye Wenxin were some heartless woman who had used her up and cast her aside. Feeling awkward, Ye Wenxin explained, "It was an accident. I'll explain everything later, okay?"
The Queen Bee sighed and nodded, glancing once more at the rampaging Flower Slave. "Her weakness lies in the scar on her right eye. Also, don't get too close to her-her flowers can drain all the blood from your body."
The Queen Bee still decided to trust Ye Wenxin. After expressing her gratitude, Ye Wenxin summoned the Umbrella Sword.
The Ghost Mother immediately emerged from the umbrella, sensing that something was amiss. At the same time, Liu Churan retrieved the other part of the Umbrella Sword from her storage pouch.
The Ghost Mother and the Sword Ghost reunited, their identical figures floating in midair. One wore skeletal armor resembling Liu Churan's own aura, while the other donned a bridal gown, evoking the eerie essence of Lady Yu.
Ye Wenxin stood atop the sword, her robes fluttering despite the absence of wind.
This marked the first time Ye Wenxin truly showcased her strength. With the Umbrella Sword and Liuli's assistance, her power surged by two levels.
However, it still wasn't enough. The Flower Slave, unimpressed, casually flicked her fingers, sending a massive fire butterfly hurtling toward her.
Ye Wenxin remained calm and poured out blood she had prepared earlier. This time, the blood transformed into delicate ice flowers. As they collided with the fire butterfly, the ice flowers swiftly devoured it before exploding into a brilliant display of lightning.
The rising steam carried the electricity, wreaking havoc on everything nearby. This technique, Romance of the Four Seasons, naturally incorporated ice. When combined with fire, it generated lightning.
