I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

The only consolation was,

there was still a mountain between Gongyang Jin, Nuannuan, and that enormous shadow.

A rumbling sound continuously resonated, echoing within the mountains, yet it didn’t startle the birds in the forest.

The entire Kunlun Mountain was eerily silent.

”What should we do? Should we go investigate, or not?” Gongyang Jin, with a voice as if suddenly startled, spoke and then, like a frightened little rabbit, grabbed onto Nuannuan’s arm.

Nuannuan: ”???”

This time, it was her turn to have a question mark appear above her head.

What are you doing? Cosplaying as a timid mushroom? You are Gongyang Jin, the female villain of the City of Extreme Evil, and you got scared like this?

Nuannuan couldn’t believe it, but when she tried to pull her hand out of Gongyang Jin’s embrace, unexpectedly, Gongyang Jin held on even tighter.

She was genuinely afraid!

”I... I’m scared...” Gongyang Jin’s body trembled slightly.

With no other choice, Nuannuan patted Gongyang Jin’s shoulder, letting her hold onto her arm like that.

”Don’t be afraid.” Nuannuan recalled and tried to comfort her with all she had learned, ”Being scared doesn’t help. With such a huge monster, if it steps on you, it’ll flatten you quickly, so it shouldn’t be too painful.”

Gongyang Jin shivered even more violently upon hearing Nuannuan’s words.

You really know how to comfort people.

The ”timid mushroom” Gongyang Jin held onto Nuannuan while cautiously looking at the other side of the mountain.

As the gigantic, blurry black silhouette entered the mountain valley, another bout of shaking occurred,

followed by the sound of water splattering...

It started bathing... Could it really be the Queen Mother of the West?!

While Gongyang Jin and Nuannuan were still lost in their imaginations, a cold, indifferent female voice suddenly sounded in their ears: ”You two have become increasingly unruly.”

Gongyang Jin was startled.

She looked around frantically, finding no trace of anyone.

”Have I been too indulgent, that even the rule against peeking while I’m bathing has been forgotten?”

The green tea-like Nuannuan was the first to react.

She hurriedly pulled the evidently out-of-state Gongyang Jin, and the two respectfully bowed and said, ”Your Grace, please forgive us! We had just completed your task and hadn’t had the chance to leave.”

”There were only two of us, so completing the task took a little longer,” Nuannuan added.

Upon hearing her explanation, the cold, suffocating feeling of being watched by a terrifying presence around them finally eased a bit.

”From your tone, it sounds like you’re complaining the task was too heavy?” the cold voice rang out again.

This time, Nuannuan responded even quicker: ”Your servent dare not!”

”Hmph.” The female voice representing the Queen Mother of the West snorted coldly, ”I see you wouldn’t dare.”

”Don’t let it happen again. If I catch you next time, you’ll be put in confinement for a century. Now get lost.”

”Yes!” Nuannuan responded respectfully, then quickly pulled the timid Gongyang Jin away from the Kunlun Peak without further ado.

After they had left the Kunlun Peak far behind, completely escaping the influence of the giant shadow,

Gongyang Jin exhaled a long breath, reverting from her timid state.

Seeing her with a look of narrowly escaping disaster, Nuannuan, no fool, guessed the truth: ”It seems, according to the rule of reversing prominent traits, the Kunlun Twin World has also affected you.”

As a Sword Cultivator, the fearless spirit is engraved into her bones.

It is also Gongyang Jin’s most prominent trait.

After entering the Kunlun Twin Worlds, it wasn’t apparent at first, but when encountering danger, Gongyang Jin’s ”timidity” became increasingly obvious.

After releasing Nuannuan’s arm, which she had been holding tightly, Gongyang Jin calmed down.

”Thank you. If it weren’t for you, we might have been killed on Kunlun Peak.” she looked at Nuannuan, expressing her gratitude sincerely.

Nuannuan was taken aback.

Then she blinked blankly at Gongyang Jin: ”What are you talking about? Thanks, what for?”

Gongyang Jin: ”...It’s nothing.”

Nuannuan’s forgetfulness acted up again.

In the Kunlun Twin Worlds, everyone’s strengths are reversed into weaknesses, and these weaknesses are deadly as they explore the Fruit World.

Realizing this, Gongyang Jin felt even more heavy-hearted.

At this moment, Taibai Jinxing, specialized for running errands, arrived with a beaming smile from another place, waving his duster as he congratulated:

”I didn’t expect you both to actually complete the task; here’s your reward.”

As he spoke, Taibai Jinxing handed over a map and a token to them.

On the map, the words ”Kunlun Immortal Palace” were emblazoned, marked with several blue diamond patterns.

The front of the token was engraved with the design of the Kunlun Immortal Palace, majestic and ethereal, with the words ”Queen Mother of the West” on the back.

After bestowing the reward to Gongyang Jin and Nuannuan, Taibai Jinxing turned to leave, only to be called back by Gongyang Jin from behind.

”Hold on, Venus,” Gongyang Jin said, quickly stepping forward, continuing to inquire, ”We understand the map, but this token... specifically, what is its purpose? Please enlighten us, Venus?”

Taibai Jinxing’s face showed a trace of surprise.

”You two really don’t know?”

”Isn’t this the Queen Mother of the West Token you’ve been dreaming of, to enter the Peach Garden?”

”With this token, you can officially enter the Peach Garden, complete the duties assigned by Her Grace in the Peach Garden, and receive your reward. Isn’t this what you’ve been pursuing all along?”

Taibai Jinxing said with a smile.

The Peach Garden’s token? What is the connection between the Peach Garden and the Peach Blossom Assembly?

”Thank you for the explanation, Venus,” Gongyang Jin thought to herself, first thanking Taibai Jinxing.

Taibai Jinxing shook his head, turned, and continued on his way.

As a Sword Cultivator, Gongyang Jin had extremely keen instincts, which were innate and remained unaffected even when her Realm was sealed.

Thus, she overheard Taibai Jinxing muttering to himself as he left:

”No trouble at all, one, two, three, four, five, six, all six fairies are now settled.”

”Now it’s up to the Seventh Fairy over there, whether they can pass the test.”

...

As everyone knows, the Seven Immortal Maidens are seven individuals.

As everyone knows, the Seven Immortal Maidens are all female.

Originally, this was a redundant statement.

But in Kunlun Twin Fruit World, it’s quite necessary to emphasize this again.

Han Zhan was dressed in a flowing purple robe, a grim look on his face, staring at the Golden Imperial Decree floating before him.

On this unique Golden Imperial Decree of the Queen Mother of the West, a line of golden characters floated: ”Go to Guanxian Lake and meet with the man waiting there.”

Yes, you read it right, the Queen Mother of the West, who forbids immortal romances, is actually matchmaking in this Fruit World!

And take note, it’s him!

For the first time, Han Zhan felt the road to Guanxian Lake was so long.

By the Immortal Lake, a gentleman in elegant attire was waiting for quite some time.

At that moment, feeling something, he looked up into the distance to see a figure in purple approaching.

”Hi?” Han Zhan awkwardly greeted.

The gentleman in elegant attire trembled all over; he seemed to contemplate for a while, searching for words.

”Your voice is very rugged; I like it.”
