Chapter 728 - 394: Thunder God and Mother
"Be my Star Fury."
Li Qin, with an upturned nose, looked at that lump of iron with flesh and spoke, her heart filled with fear.
For a moment, she felt like she was still in a nightmare, but no matter what, she couldn’t wake up.
She wasn’t a casual person and wouldn’t easily become someone’s Star Fury. After all, her husband couldn’t touch her twice a year, unless the man was either wealthy or charming.
Like the biological father of her child.
But now, the one asking her to be a Star Fury was this piece of flesh.
Or a piece of iron.
She had never even heard of such a thing, finding that the monsters and ghosts rumored about were not as bizarre as this.
Yet she didn’t move, because at this moment she was both scared and tired and hungry, and this lump of fleshy iron not only could talk but also emitted a rich fragrance.
Although she had some fat on her waist and her face was a bit large, she would truly feel anxious if she didn’t eat for one meal.
Now this fleshy iron was emitting a strong fragrance, tempting her.
Tempting her to eat it.
"Be my Star Fury," the thing continued to tempt.
Li Qin swallowed hard, her plump body instinctively felt a bit scared, wanting to retreat.
"If you become my Star Fury, not only will you have wealth and glory, but you can also make your cousin’s family live a fate worse than death."
As soon as this was said, Li Qin’s retreating steps stopped.
Honestly, the thing she hated most in her life was that her cousin married well.
Usually, she had to go to her cousin pretending to be a good sister, because she might be able to borrow some silver and rouge, but in reality, she hated her cousin to the core.
Her cousin wasn’t much prettier than her, so why did she live such a good life?
Every time she looked in the mirror, Li Qin could only blame the men, blame her own useless husband, and blame the wealthy man who married her cousin for being blind enough to marry someone like her cousin.
So at this moment, hearing this from the piece of fleshy iron, she couldn’t control herself and said, "Really?"
"Of course it’s true. If you become my Star Fury, not just here, you will rule the entire world."
The voice carried a husky tone, matching the ugly and strange look of that lump of fleshy iron, which was indeed terrifying.
Yet the thought of her cousin and her own life tempted Li Qin.
She squatted down, picked up the piece of fleshy iron.
Until now, with the light of the night sky, she could finally see what this thing looked like.
It was like a piece of iron within which flesh had grown, and this flesh vaguely formed the features of a human face.
It looked heavy, but it felt very light in her hands, probably not even as heavy as such a lump of cotton.
It was ugly, yet it emitted a strong fragrance.
Thinking of her own miserable encounters, the bad men, and her cousin’s lifestyle, irritated her.
The next moment, with a crunching sound, Li Qin bit into the flesh on top of the iron ball.
The iron ball wasn’t small, but then again, neither was Li Qin’s appetite.
She was quite hungry, having not eaten for half a day, and with the meat smelling so delicious, she gobbled down the strange iron ball completely in no time.
At the moment she finished eating, a shiver ran through her whole body, her eyes rolled back, as if entering some profound and mysterious realm.
There was the sound of thunder around her, the wind and thunder stirred, and the entire street seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.
Li Qin opened her eyes and saw white jade steps floating in the air, stretching upwards as if leading to a palace made of jade.
Clouds and fog surrounded her, forming into a sea, with golden mosquitoes larger than humans flapping their wings flying past, disappearing into the sea of clouds in an instant.
The whole world seemed ethereal, full of Immortal Energy, but at the same time carried a deep, bone-chilling loneliness and a sense of terror.
"Where is this?" Li Qin asked bewilderedly.
"This is the Heavenly Court, the true Heavenly Court."
The voice of the flesh ball echoed in her ears, and the sound of thunder came again.
Li Qin staggered and found herself still standing in the street, with strange people kneeling at both ends of the alley, iron pipes protruding from their heads.
She looked around, finding that a layer of cloud mist had formed around her.
The cloud mist circled her like a cloak, as she immersed herself with her upturned nose, considering herself the most beautiful little Fairy in the world.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The pores on her face and body opened like mouths, inhaling the clouds and mist into her body.
The moment the mist dispersed, Li Qin’s upturned nose turned even more upwards, her already narrow eyes shrank further, revealing a flicker of sharp light.
She flicked her hand, facing the kneeling strange people, her expression filled with a divine aura, she spoke: "I will establish a world with no beauty or ugliness, only great love."
As soon as the words fell, those with metal tubes protruding from their heads knelt together, worshipping her like a deity...
...
"What’s so great about this Heroic Land? I think other places are more proper."
"Exactly, here you can’t indulge, can’t kill, even the ones you visit have no diseases, what’s the fun in that."
"Indeed, not even a bit of freedom."
"In the past when Mo Sect ruled, every day was a free day."
"Not to mention the past, even now not far away, in Red Earth City, it’s still a pure land, the air is sweet-smelling."
"I say, whoever wants to stay here is either a fool or incapable."
"Look at this bunch of mud-footed fools, they never realize the value of freedom!"
Several people muttered these words to each other, pointing at those coming and going, attracting some like-minded individuals.
At this moment, a voice arose—"Is Red Earth City really that free, that good?".
"Of course, much better than this place. It’s just that after changing rulers here, it’s destined to lag behind for generations, never even dreaming to catch up with Red Earth City."
