Outside of Time [Webnovel]

Editor: Atlas Studios

Fairy Spirit Phoenix’s eyes were filled with killing intent and her expression was gloomy.

Those dirty words made her extremely uncomfortable.

Although her identity wasn’t as noble as the true Spirit Phoenix, she was still a lady of noble upbringing. From a young age, those she had interacted with had always been of refinement and grace. Never had she encountered someone as vulgar in speech as this brazen fox before her.

Hence, at this moment, killing intent rose in his heart.

Of course, what she wanted to kill wasn’t the hundred flowers or the fox beauty, but… the consciousness in the fox beauty’s body!

The Fourth True Monarch had already told her that this person was an outsider like them.

As for who it was, she wasn’t sure but she believed that she would definitely be able to find out after she got out.

As soon as the decree was issued, the black-armored guards in the surroundings were all filled with killing intent. They stepped forward and formed a baleful aura that spread in all directions.

In an instant, it was as though a storm was howling here, sweeping through everything, wanting to destroy all things and shatter the hundred flowers.

Yet the delicate maidens of the Hundred Flowers Palace, though they appeared fragile, were not ordinary beings. Being favored by the Young Lord and kept within the palace, they were naturally exceptional.

Not only were they blessed with beauty, but they also possessed remarkable talents. Their cultivation could not be weak either—only such individuals were worthy of the title ‘Hundred Flowers.’

Moreover, the fox beauty was guarding this place.

Hence, almost at the instant those black-armored cultivators’ baleful auras erupted, the fox beauty’s plump upper body sat up from the bed. Her jade-like legs alternated and her almond-shaped eyes glared.

“Which one of us sisters isn’t a heaven’s chosen and doesn’t treat the young master sincerely? Moreover, we only stay in the Hundred Flowers Palace and don’t fight with the world. How did it become dirt in your mouth!”

“And you’re only engaged to the young master and haven’t really gotten married yet. You came here to dispel it just like that?”

“I want to see how you dispel it. Are you trying to kill us here?!”

The fox beauty let out a cold snort. Immediately, the cultivation bases of the hundred flowers rose and spells and divine arts were instantly formed.

They faced off against Fairy Spirit Phoenix and her guards.

Both sides were at daggers drawn and their killing intent was intense. Just as they were about to erupt, Zhong Chi, who wasn’t far away, suddenly trembled. Xu Qing’s voice appeared in his mind.

After hearing Xu Qing’s instructions, Zhong Chi hurriedly rushed out. The instant the two sides were about to attack, he arrived in the middle and shouted.

“The Young Lord has sent a decree!”

His figure and voice instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

As they gathered, Zhong Chi took a deep breath and immediately spoke.

“Young lord’s dictum: I feel deep shame, and am unable to personally face you all. I fondly recall the past years, when immortal melodies graced my ears, and the company of the hundred flowers was my solace. Yet fate bears its regrets, and all songs must one day come to an end…”

“I cannot disobey the will of my father…”

“However, the hundred flowers bear no fault in this matter; the mistake lies with me alone. Thus, no one is permitted to harm even a single blossom of this palace. Each of the hundred flowers shall be bestowed with a hundred million immortal essences, a hundred thousand immortal pills, a hundred immortal treasures, and ten reasons threads of immortal fate…”

“I hope that the hundred flowers will have a good future.”

“Leave immediately.”

Zhong Chi’s voice was low. After he finished speaking the entirety of the young master’s decree, his heart churned.

He knew history.

In this period of history, the Hundred Flowers Palace had indeed been torn down. As for the Hundred Flowers, they had left before the wedding, so to a certain extent, they had escaped this calamity.

As for whether they died later or not, because they were separate and not important, they were not recorded in the official history.

Hence, Zhong Chi also knew the final outcome.

However, in this period of history, the day the Hundred Flowers Palace was demolished was the fourth day before the young master and Spirit Phoenix’s wedding.

Now, it was obvious that someone had deliberately brought it forward.

At that moment, as Zhong Chi’s lingering voice echoed, Hundred Flowers fell silent.

Very soon, sadness filled the air.

Finally, the fox beauty sighed and looked at the hundreds of flowers in the surroundings as she spoke softly.

“Young Master has treated us well and we are sincere to him. Since his wedding is imminent and it’s the Immortal Lord’s order, you guys… can leave this sad place.”

“According to our previous agreement, there is no Hundred Flowers Palace here but there will be a true Hundred Flowers Palace in the Fifth Star Ring from now on!”

As soon as the fox beauty spoke, the space-time here fluctuated.

In history, the Hundred Flowers Palace only existed in the Junior Aurora Hall. It didn’t exist in the future.

However, it was obvious that with the fox beauty’s methods, since she had appeared here and had interacted with these flowers for a long time, how could she not grasp this point?

Hence, during this period, She and the hundred flowers had long come to an agreement.

If there was a day when the Hundred Flowers Palace in the Junior Aurora Hall had no choice but to be demolished, then they wouldn’t really give up just like that. Instead, they would establish their own sect in the outside world.

The name of the sect would be… Hundred Flowers Palace.

It would forever be the Hundred Flowers Palace that belonged to the Young Lord!

As for the fox beauty, she would be recorded in the Hundred Flowers Palace and become the first generation Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace!

Her name would be passed down for eternity!

Such actions naturally caused space-time fluctuations. Although Spirit Phoenix couldn’t sense the spatial fluctuations due to the Ordinance, she was clear about this history, so she understood the meaning of this sentence.

Her expression instantly turned solemn.

At the same time…

In the Junior Aurora Hall, Xu Qing stood beside the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the outside world. A melancholic expression appeared on his face.

However, his heart was calm.

His understanding of this history wasn’t as good as Zhong Chi and Spirit Phoenix’s but he could sense the space-time fluctuations.

From the moment the daughter of the Nine Shores arrived, space-time had been fluctuating. This meant that history had changed, but not to a great extent.

At that time, he already understood that there was a high chance that this was the actions of the Fourth True Monarch.

He would rather allow minor space-time fluctuations to attack in advance.

His goal was naturally the fox beauty.

Now, the fluctuations in space-time instantly increased.

Xu Qing knew that this was the fox beauty’s method.

She clearly wouldn’t place all her hopes on Xie Lingzi.

“Interesting…”

A calm voice suddenly rang out from behind Xu Qing, echoing in the main hall.

Xu Qing wasn’t surprised and turned to look.

A figure gathered in the void and finally appeared.

This person had sword-like brows and starry eyes. He wore a purple-gold robe and his figure was tall and straight like a pine tree.

He wore a purple-gold crown adorned with gemstones, intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes, lifelike and awe-inspiring. He gave off an extraordinary aura. He was none other than the Fourth True Monarch!

“Fourth Senior Brother, why are you here? I’ve embarrassed myself.”

Xu Qing smiled bitterly.

“Junior Brother, this is Master’s decree from before. I can’t stop it either. I came here to accompany you and was worried that you would be agitated.”

The Fourth True Monarch looked at Xu Qing with a gentle expression. There was no sharpness in his eyes at all. Instead, there was a hint of friendliness.

However, he was observing secretly.

This was his instinctive action.

Xu Qing’s expression became increasingly melancholic. He shook his head and didn’t speak.

“However, Junior Brother, the fox beauty you won from heaven’s chosen Li is quite interesting…”

The Fourth True Monarch slowly spoke and his gaze landed on Xu Qing’s eyes unintentionally.

He had long made a judgment and knew that outsiders would gather around this Young Lord in front of him, and it wasn’t strange for the fox beauty to appear here.

Moreover, he also knew that it was impossible for the Young Lord and Aurora Immortal Lord to have external consciousnesses.

However, after experiencing his previous failure, he couldn’t help but have some thoughts. Hence, he said this.

Xu Qing was stunned. His gaze then sized up the Fourth True Monarch.

His actions also caused the Fourth True Monarch to be stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Qing suddenly spoke.

“Fourth Senior Brother, you’ve never paid attention to anyone in my Hundred Flowers Palace before. Now that you suddenly say such words…”

Xu Qing spoke softly.

His words immediately made the Fourth True Monarch vigilant. Before the aftershock of the rumors dissipated, he couldn’t let the people of this space-time suspect him. Hence, he was about to speak.

However, Xu Qing laughed.

“Could it be that Fourth Senior Brother has developed a mortal heart? Forget it. If it was any of the hundred flowers, I wouldn’t be able to bear to part with them even if they were dismissed, since they have accompanied me for so long. As for that fox beauty, she just arrived not long ago. If Senior Brother likes her, I’ll give her to you as a maid.”

Xu Qing made it sound casual but how could the Fourth True Monarch dare to accept it?

Once he accepted, it wouldn’t match his identity. Also, the fox beauty’s fate wasn’t like this.

However, he still couldn’t help but be tempted.

Once the fox beauty became his maid, he could naturally drive her consciousness away and resolve the great calamity.

However, just as this thought rose, he suddenly saw a hint of scrutiny in the eyes of the Young Lord in front of him…

This gaze caused the Fourth True Monarch’s heart to skip a beat.

‘In the host’s memories, this Young Lord isn’t as simple as he appears on the surface. He’s suspecting me…’

‘My actions indeed don’t match the True Monarch’s character.’

At the thought of this, the Fourth True Monarch smiled.

“Don’t mention this matter again.”

When Xu Qing heard this, he also smiled.

“There was a moment when I thought… Fourth Senior Brother, you were really prepared to take her.”

Ultimately, he was the Young Lord!

As for the Fourth True Monarch, he was only a Fourth True Monarch.

At the same time, in the Hundred Flowers Palace, after the Young Lord’s decree, everything was set in stone.

There were naturally internal officials of the Junior Aurora Hall who followed the contents of the oral decree and sent out the bestowed items. Under the comfort of the fox beauty, the hundred flowers’ emotions mostly stabilized.

They left together.

In the end, only the fox beauty was left in the dilapidated Hundred Flowers Palace. She still sat there with a lazy expression and didn’t leave.

Fairy Spirit Phoenix frowned and coldly looked at the fox beauty.

“Get out of the Immortal Palace within ten breaths, or else, you will be forcefully expelled!”

When the fox beauty heard this, she laughed charmingly.

“Sister Morning Glory, you look a little cute when you’re angry. No wonder the Young Lord ignored us because of you.”

The baleful aura in the Spirit Phoenix’s eyes grew denser. She waited quietly for ten breaths before turning to walk out and uttering a decree.

“Send her out!”

The black-armored guards immediately stepped forward and the suppression erupted at this moment. They were about to attack.

However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out from outside the Junior Aurora Hall, accompanied by rumbling heavenly lightning.

“What are you trying to do to my disciple?!”

Along with the voice, Gongsun Qingmu’s figure appeared in the sky.

His expression was filled with anger. The moment he appeared, his voice was still echoing.

“This spirit fox is a new disciple I’ve taken in. This is her identity token. I’ve already reported it to the Thunder Punishment Palace for registration!”

The fox beauty smiled and stood up to bow to the sky.

“Master.”

Spirit Phoenix stopped in her tracks.

The surrounding black-armored cultivators instantly stopped.

They had no right to expel a person with an official identity in the Immortal Palace!

The fluctuations in space-time became even greater.

Xie Lingzi, who was attached to Gongsun Qingmu, lifted his head and looked towards the Junior Aurora Hall.

“True Monarch, I know you’re here.”

“You just killed one of my disciples and now you want to make things difficult for my new disciple?!”

“True Monarch, have you been targeting me from the start?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Qing was a little surprised. After that, he looked at the Fourth True Monarch beside him.

The Fourth True Monarch was expressionless but his thoughts were fluctuating intensely.

He suddenly felt that Xie Lingzi was unprecedentedly disgusting.

‘When this matter is over and I return to the east, I’ll hunt down this person personally!’
