Chapter 1269: Chapter 543: Plum Blossoms Twice_3

The common folk kneeled on the ground, praying to the heavens to extinguish the wildfires.

At last, a Goddess appeared. She surveyed the four realms and took away that stone standing among the mountains and rivers.

With supreme Mana, she used the stone to repair the earth, ultimately stopping the wildfire from spreading.

"Isn’t this the story from the ’Origin Secrets’?"

"’Origin Secrets’ contains many myths and legends about the Divine Wood Universe, and later Qi Yuan also found this book and finished reading the fragmented manuscript.

The story of the Goddess repairing the earth was recorded in that fragment.

"It appears many of the myths and legends in ’Origin Secrets’ are real, but what about the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’?"

Qi Yuan suddenly had a quirky idea.

"’Origin Secrets’ is the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’ of the Divine Wood Universe."

"After the Goddess repaired the earth, that piece of stone shattered into pieces.

Most of it was used to fill the earth, the remaining..."

Suddenly, Qi Yuan thought he saw a tombstone.

However, since he was a stone, everything he saw was blurred, even worse than the heart’s eye.

"The remaining stone was used to make a tombstone, and the final remaining... is that me?"

Qi Yuan was contemplative.

He had never played the role of a stone.

The trick to it still required his slow exploration.

But for now, the pressing matter was to play the role of a blind Artificer.

...

"In the Divine Wood Abyss, there’s a Blind Girl. I need to go down and continue with Artifact Refining."

By the hot spring, Qi Yuan calmly spoke.

"I want to go down too," the Insect Woman Caidie said.

She was also curious about what exactly was in the legendary Divine Wood Abyss.

"Don’t go in, it’s painful," Qi Yuan said.

He chose not to take Shen Lingxuan into the Divine Wood Abyss.

After all, the pain of crossing through the light points is not something Mortals can endure.

"I’ve lived for tens of thousands of years, what pain have I not experienced, let me crash..."

Thump, the Insect Woman Caidie crashed toward the entrance of the Divine Wood Abyss.

Suddenly, her body fell.

She passed out from the pain.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxuan looked at Qi Yuan with even greater pity.

After all, Qi Yuan had endured such pain but arrived at the Divine Wood Abyss like nothing happened, to slay Feng Ti and save her.

"Alright, I’ll go down first; if you guys are in danger, I’ll come up immediately."

Saying this, Qi Yuan did not hesitate to return to the Divine Wood Abyss.

"Indeed, the binds of the Divine Wood Abyss are terrifying."

"Even the strongest men, once here, would admit defeat."

In the Divine Wood Abyss, facing Shen Lingxuan, Qi Yuan felt like a war deity, riding daily was not an issue.

But in the Divine Wood Abyss, if Shen Lingxuan came to find him daily, he guessed he would have to dodge and support his back.

"Eh? Where is everyone?" Qi Yuan walked around the Divine Wood Abyss and did not sense the Blind Girl’s presence.

He found it strange.

"Never mind, I’ll just continue refining artifacts."

After awakening the heart’s eye, Qi Yuan felt excessively powerful.

The speed of crafting Magic Artifacts also increased, as if divinely aided.

"Indeed, being blind had too great an impact on me; it’s better having the heart’s eye. Previously, hammering these materials needed an hour, but now it only takes a quarter."

Qi Yuan sighed.

One must have eyes.

Without eyes, one must have a heart’s eye.

Without a heart’s eye, at least one should have a butt eye, right?

At least with an eye, one would have a skill and wouldn’t be unemployed.

Qi Yuan sat under the ladder, hammering the materials.

"The help of the heart’s eye is indeed great, in another half a month... I guess I could craft a Divine Grade Magic Artifact."

"But... A Shen Lin kind of Magic Artifact is not as simple as a normal Divine Grade Magic Artifact."

"At least... the Eight Refining Techniques must be merged."

Having murmured this, Qi Yuan shrugged his shoulders, stood up, and continued walking toward the Blind Girl’s dwelling.

"I wonder if she’s returned?"

Walking along the familiar yet strange path, Qi Yuan arrived in front of the Blind Girl’s house.

Rustling water sounds came, and Qi Yuan’s eyes brightened.

The Blind Girl was at home.

"Hey, I’ve awakened my inner eye, and I’ve run out of materials. Give me some materials," Qi Yuan shouted.

The Blind Girl, after washing her face, walked out of the room with a wooden basket in her hands, filled with various materials.

"You’ve awakened your inner eye?"

"Yes," Qi Yuan looked toward the Blind Girl.

Unfortunately, even having awakened the inner eye, his vision was still a blur; he couldn’t see clearly.

"Barely making it," the Blind Girl handed Qi Yuan the wooden basket with a slight frown on her nose, "You have a strong sweaty odor. Go take a bath."

In the Divine Wood Abyss, Qi Yuan was no different from ordinary people; it was normal to sweat from labor.

"Thank you," Qi Yuan took the wooden basket and returned to his dwelling.

Having refined artifacts for a long time, he was also somewhat tired and needed to wash and sleep.

"What a pity there are no ants in the Divine Wood Abyss, otherwise I would duel with them."

After bathing, Qi Yuan muttered to himself while eating fruit.

"These fruits don’t even have an insect in them; otherwise, battling the insects might have helped me break through myself," Qi Yuan thought.

The Divine Wood Abyss was too beautiful, with fruits all sweet and unmarred by insects.

Even the water was crystal clear, free from any pollutants.

Everything was so picturesque, almost unreal.

With such thoughts, Qi Yuan slowly drifted into sleep.

The moon shone faintly, and the night was enchanting.

Suddenly, a subtle fragrance wafted over, and a delicate body bumped into Qi Yuan’s arms.

"Lingxuan?"

Half-dazed, Qi Yuan subconsciously thought it was Shen Lingxuan.

In the Divine Wood Abyss, Shen Lingxuan had once ambushed him at night. At that time, she was very gentle and caring. Since Qi Yuan couldn’t see, she proactively approached, allowing Qi Yuan to touch and taste.

He instinctively embraced the soft waist and kissed her.

The woman seemed to hear Qi Yuan’s words, her delicate body trembled slightly, then she reciprocated.

Soft, fragrant.

Qi Yuan’s consciousness instantly shocked awake.

"Wait, this isn’t the Divine Wood Abyss, Lingxuan can’t get in here."

"Who are you?"

Qi Yuan was somewhat baffled.

Soon, his bafflement was overwhelmed.

Because... he was being overpowered.

He couldn’t see clearly who the woman was, and his strength was no match for hers.

As for calling for help?

Please... It was too embarrassing to mention; his mouth was even being covered.

After a night of romance, Qi Yuan woke up slowly with a splitting headache.

Reflecting on last night, a contemplative expression appeared on his face.

"Was I dreaming?"

"No."

He slightly sniffed his nose and noticed a faint floral scent on his stone bed, a very familiar smell.

Qi Yuan boldly speculated and felt angry.

"Did she crave my body?"

While it was true that she had saved his life, he hadn’t repaid her with his body.

If it was indeed the Blind Girl, setting aside that she had saved him, she truly became Qi Yuan’s new First Love.

After all, although such an incident would be mocked by many on Blue Star, a man being overpowered by a woman,

Qi Yuan was different; he was the victim.

He didn’t trivialize the harm suffered by men.

"Was it her?" Qi Yuan had a deep confusion in his heart.

He felt it both was and wasn’t her.

But that floral scent, indeed, was from the same source as the Blind Girl’s.

He thought he should confront the Blind Girl.

A man’s honor is still honor.

Jishuai should boldly step forward!
