Chapter 645 - 652: Transmigrators Like You

They were filled with hope, and the looks they gave the Flower Clan Leader were brimming with gratitude.

"I officially announce that from this day forward, the Flower Clan has returned to the Grass and Wood Clan!!!!"

The Flower Clan Leader shouted, and instantly, all the flower demons and members of the Grass and Wood Clan erupted in cheers.

Seeing everyone so happy, Song Wanning smiled along with them.

...

The Flower Clan had returned to the fold of the Grass and Wood Clan, ending a curse that had lasted for ten thousand years.

Song Wanning received the enthusiastic gratitude of the entire Grass and Wood Clan. They stuffed all sorts of precious Medicinal Herbs into her arms as if they were free.

The Soul-shaping Flower also came into her possession.

"I always keep my word!"

"If you need me in the future, Fellow Daoist, I will certainly do everything in my power to help!!"

The former Flower Clan Leader had now become the Clan Leader for the entire Grass and Wood Clan.

He gazed at Song Wanning with gratitude, his heart filled with emotion.

Initially, he had only wanted to save Little Eighteen and had never imagined the curse could be broken.

Now, not only had Little Eighteen recovered, but the curse was also lifted. It all felt like a dream.

A little unreal.

Song Wanning gave a knowing smile.

"Alright, I’ll remember that."

She accepted the items and took the Clan Leader’s Communication Talisman as well.

’I might actually have a use for him in the future.’

Song Wanning couldn’t help but feel a little impressed with herself. It seemed she had unwittingly built up quite a network of connections.

She lowered her head and smiled, then turned to face Li Qingya.

By now, Li Qingya seemed to have figured a few things out, and the way she looked at Song Wanning had changed.

Her expression was complicated, but she was no longer prickly like a hedgehog as she had been at the start.

But deep down, she still felt a little resentful.

She had always considered herself exceptionally talented. Her achievements in Alchemy had even amazed her master.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let her join in the first place.

But now, having met Song Wanning, she finally understood what a true chosen one of the heavens looked like.

"I’m surprised you didn’t leave."

Song Wanning’s lips curled up, a hint of amusement in her eyes as she looked at Li Qingya.

’If it were anyone else, they probably would have snuck away by now.’

’This Li Qingya has some character, actually waiting here for me.’

"HMPH!"

Li Qingya snorted coldly at her words, her eyes stubborn.

"Even if my skills are inferior, I know how to accept a loss!"

"Don’t you dare look down on me!"

She had always been a very proud person. Since she had lost to Song Wanning, she would honor their bet and take her to find Gong Ye.

’Besides, I’ve already figured out a way to get out of this.’

’Song Wanning is protected by the Heavenly Dao. I can’t beat her, so my only choice is to withdraw decisively.’

’I’ll just let her and Gong Ye fight it out like dogs!’

A calculating glint flashed in Li Qingya’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

Song Wanning stared at her meaningfully for a few seconds, then raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Let’s go. Take me to Gong Ye."

"I assume you know what to do."

’If Li Qingya dares to tip off Gong Ye, she can’t blame me for being ruthless.’

Li Qingya’s expression flickered unnaturally for a moment before her face grew even colder.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely lead you to him!!!"

She took out her Flying Artifact and flew straight into the air.

Song Wanning followed close behind.

She kept her eyes fixed on Li Qingya’s figure. She didn’t trust this woman one bit.

But right now, she needed to find Gong Ye as quickly as possible and finish him off.

Song Wanning had a strong premonition that the mending of the two worlds was imminent. She had to eliminate Gong Ye first, or the Song Family Members would be in danger.

It was a risk she had to take!

Green canopies blurred past as the Flying Artifacts sped through the Demon Realm.

Meanwhile, far away in his cave, Gong Ye had no idea that his lover was bringing Song Wanning to him. He was still focused on studying a medicinal powder.

He wasn’t worried about Li Qingya getting into trouble because he had already made preparations. If Li Qingya were to perish, her Divine Soul would immediately return to the soul token in his hand.

That would be the perfect opportunity for him to perform a Soul Search.

’No matter the outcome, I can’t possibly lose!’

He had considered many possibilities, but he had never imagined the two of them would set aside their differences and cooperate.

Let alone that they would come straight to his lair.

So, when Song Wanning appeared outside his cave, Gong Ye froze.

His expression changed drastically. He put down the powder in his hand and immediately hid it in his Storage Ring.

This subconscious act of concealment immediately caught Song Wanning’s attention.

’Looks like that powder... is suspicious!’

"What’s wrong? Not happy to see me?"

Song Wanning smiled faintly, as if seeing an old friend. She crossed her arms, watching him with a look of leisurely confidence.

Li Qingya stood behind her, a guilty look on her face, not daring to meet Gong Ye’s eyes.

’But I had no choice. Gong Ye is destined to lose. If I continued to get entangled with him, I would only be sealing my own doom.’

’I might have some feelings for Gong Ye, but what is love in the face of death?’

’I have to save myself first.’

"Heh."

Gong Ye let out a bitter laugh, angered by Song Wanning’s arrogance, but he was even more furious about Li Qingya’s betrayal.

He clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged on them, wishing he could deal with Li Qingya on the spot.

’I thought I had that woman wrapped around my finger, but instead, she just slapped me right across the face.’

’It makes me look like a complete joke.’

However, what he found even more unacceptable was that Song Wanning’s Cultivation had advanced again!!!

’How is that possible?’

’Didn’t she just break through to the Early-stage Integration realm?’

’This isn’t scientific!!!’

Gong Ye’s expression instantly cracked, and a belief deep in his heart crumbled.

’Song Wanning must be cheating. She’s not a normal person.’

"You’re a transmigrator, too?!!"

He practically squeezed the words from his throat, his voice thick with jealousy.

"You have a system, don’t you? Otherwise, there’s no way you could advance so quickly!"

He stubbornly believed that only a transmigrator could possess such a powerful "protagonist halo," one that could even overshadow his own brilliance.

Like other transmigrators, he looked down on these native Cultivators from the bottom of his heart.

’Only people who have received a modern education are destined for greatness!’

Hearing his accusation, a chill crept into Song Wanning’s eyes.

’That same look of superiority... It really pisses me off.’

’I really want to gouge his eyes out.’

She suppressed the viciousness in her heart and sneered.

"Transmigrators? Are you talking about the ones who have died by my hand?"

"They all called themselves the Heavenly Dao’s Son, people of destiny."

"But in my eyes, they’re nothing but invaders. Thieves!"

A sneer appeared on her face.

’The thinking of these invaders is so consistent. Where do they get the confidence to look down on the natives like this?’

’They’re all just thieves!’

’Creatures that can’t stand the light of day!’

Song Wanning’s words made Gong Ye’s pupils shrink. It took him several seconds to process their meaning.

"You—you’ve met other transmigrators? And you killed them?"

The shock in Gong Ye’s heart was overwhelming. He felt as if he were listening to a fairy tale.
