"Flower demons?" Gu Qingfeng's eyes instantly lit up.
"Jiejiejie... This Emperor likes flower fairies the most. Delicate, soft, and with a natural body fragrance. Not bad, I'll go to your place. By the way, what forbidden zone are you from?"
"Replying to Lord Emperor, it is the Forest of Rebirth," Ziyuan said nervously. Looking at Gu Qingfeng's malicious smile, she actually felt that her forbidden zone being chosen might not be a good thing.
It might be inviting a wolf into the house.
But at this point, she did not dare to say no, terrified that once this word was spoken, her fate would be like that of Yang Ji, left without even a corpse remaining.
Beside them, Leng Lie was still a bit unwilling to give up. After all, his master had given a strict order to bring the Ghost Mother as a guest. If he could not complete this task, he would be peeled of a layer of skin upon his return, if not killed outright.
"Emperor Gu, although my master is human, he is truly sincere in his invitation and has prepared a lot of transcendent materials. As long as you accept the invitation and go, my master will definitely not treat you unfairly," Leng Lie invited.
Gu Qingfeng smiled and nodded. "Rest assured, go back and tell your master that this Emperor will definitely go. Wait until this Emperor returns from the Forest of Rebirth, I will definitely pay a visit to enjoy... pay a visit."
With Gu Qingfeng's words, Leng Lie immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At the very least, he could go back and report his mission.
He then hurriedly and respectfully handed over an invitation.
"Emperor Gu, after you finish your business, you only need to take this invitation to the Heaven Burial Forbidden Zone."
Gu Qingfeng nodded and accepted it with satisfaction.
He then said to Ziyuan, "Lead the way."
"Yes, Lord Emperor."
Ziyuan hurriedly led the way in front of the White Bone Blood Boat. Without Gu Qingfeng's permission, she did not dare to easily board the ship.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng wrapped his arm around Yan Lingxue and returned inside the White Bone Blood Boat.
.......
A few days later.
In a cold and gloomy body of water, countless dense and narrow terrifying cracks floated in the sky, like gaping abyssal mouths. Although they were motionless, they gave off a very oppressive feeling.
Ziyuan led the White Bone Blood Boat through them. After a long and complex path, the scenery of the world ahead suddenly changed.
What greeted the eyes was a lush forest with verdant ancient trees, majestic peaks, and high waterfalls. In between, wild flowers were scattered everywhere, colorful and competing in beauty.
Before even entering, one could smell a rich, refreshing floral fragrance that invigorated the spirit.
"Emperor Gu, this is the Forest of Rebirth."
Ziyuan said respectfully at the bow of the boat.
Gu Qingfeng slowly walked out with his arm around Yan Lingxue, sizing up the Forest of Rebirth.
As for the younger sister, Yan Lingyu, she had long been thrown into the palm world.
Seeing this idyllic scene of chirping birds and fragrant flowers, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but frown. In contrast, he still preferred the beautiful environment of the Senluo Ghost Realm—gloomy, lifeless, and dark without seeing the light of day.
Ziyuan had been carefully observing Gu Qingfeng's expression. Seeing him frown, her heart immediately skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "Is Lord Emperor dissatisfied with something?"
"The environment is too nice. This Emperor dislikes it."
Ziyuan: "???"
Subsequently, Gu Qingfeng left the White Bone Blood Boat and entered the Forest of Rebirth. He found that the forest was actually permeated with a faint pink mist-like aura.
He sniffed it and his spirit instantly roused. "This pink mist is poisonous!"
Terrified that he would get angry, Ziyuan hastily took out a poison-repelling sachet and said, "Lord Emperor, please do not misunderstand. This poison is not aimed at you. The Forest of Rebirth is covered in poisonous mist all year round. This is a poison-repelling sachet. As long as you wear it, you will not be eroded by the toxic gas.
Of course, this humble girl absolutely means nothing else. With your strength, you naturally do not fear these toxic gases. This humble girl is just afraid that they might ruin your mood."
Ziyuan explained cautiously, afraid that a single misunderstanding would cause the other party to slaughter her directly.
Even having arrived in her own territory, she still felt uncertain. After all, Gu Qingfeng was suspected to be an existence on the same level as her master, or perhaps even stronger.
Moreover, her master had a request for him and needed his help to lift a curse.
This meant that even if Gu Qingfeng killed her over a disagreement, her master probably wouldn't ask a single question. She had no choice but to be careful.
Who knew that Gu Qingfeng wouldn't even glance at the sachet. Instead, he strode forward, threw himself into the poisonous mist, and took a deep breath.
The pink mist permeating the forest transformed into two slender swimming dragons that drilled into Gu Qingfeng's nasal cavity.
"Not bad, not bad. This Emperor has started to like this place a little."
Ziyuan: "..."
At this moment, she completely could not understand Gu Qingfeng. He disliked beautiful scenery but liked poisonous mist? What kind of twisted aesthetic was this?
However, she did not dare to say more and hurriedly led the way.
Gu Qingfeng continued to walk deeper into the Forest of Rebirth. Along the way, he could sense many flower demons peeking at them, but no one dared to step forward. It was obvious that Ziyuan's status here was very high.
A moment later, the group arrived in a sea of flowers. Looking out, the hills and plains were covered in fresh flowers. Various magnificent and bizarre blooms formed a spectacular and gorgeous floral sea.
And amidst the sea of flowers stood a person dressed in pink clothes, with hair that was also a faint pink.
This person had a tall and slender figure, and was currently facing away from Gu Qingfeng and the others, carrying a flower basket and picking flowers in the sea of blooms. Pinned to their head was a delicate, pale yellow flower.
Gu Qingfeng's eyes immediately lit up. He thought to himself, what a lovely flower fairy, this trip was truly not made in vain.
Beside him, Ziyuan hurriedly said with respect, "Master, Emperor Gu has arrived."
Before coming, Ziyuan had already transmitted Gu Qingfeng's information back.
The flower fairy in the sea of flowers stopped picking blooms and slowly turned around.
Gu Qingfeng's expression froze instantly.
Because this flower fairy had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a stubbly beard. Shockingly, it was the appearance of a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged male flower fairy, dressed in pink, wearing a fresh flower on his head, and carrying a flower basket on his arm, smiled faintly upon seeing Gu Qingfeng and the others.
The smile was very reserved, not showing his teeth, much like a young lady from a noble family.
"I am Hua Caiyu. Greetings, Emperor Gu. Greetings, Ghost Mother."
"It really is you, Hua Caiyu!" Yan Lingyu's pupils shrank slightly as she spoke.
"Hua Caiyu is a top-tier expert from the previous era. Although he is not the absolute strongest, his cultivation in the Dao of Poison can be called number one in the world. We must be on guard."
"Big Sister Ghost Mother, long time no see," Hua Caiyu smiled. Lifting his trailing robes with his hands, he walked over gracefully.
Yan Lingxue seemed extremely wary of him. Seeing him approach, she hurriedly said, "Stop! Just stand right there, do not come any closer."
In fact, after speaking, Yan Lingxue subconsciously took a step back.
Her red embroidered shoe just happened to step on a very short little white flower by the roadside.
The little white flower was crushed to pieces, and imperceptible pollen rippled in the wind.
Seeing Yan Lingxue like this, Hua Caiyu immediately looked heartbroken. "Old friends meeting, yet you are so distant. You make me so sad."
Yan Lingxue was unmoved. "Stop pretending. Who doesn't know that your whole body is poisonous? Who in this world would dare to come within three zhang of you?"
Seeing this, Hua Caiyu became even more heartbroken. He actually took out a pink handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks from his breast and began to wipe his tears.
"After all this time, I never expected your prejudice against me to still run so deep. We are the only ones left from the last epoch. I merely wanted to get a little closer to you, yet you..."
"Shut the hell up!" Gu Qingfeng suddenly roared.
He truly could not stand this sissy any longer, and he especially could not accept the fact that the Flower Fairy was actually a man.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
