Chapter 161 The Fairy Empress
"Um, what should we do now?"

The voice of the Moon Fairy is as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Don't worry, I'll get us out of here."

Liu Chengfeng forgot that Fairy Tingyue was more powerful than him, and Fairy Tingyue forgot as well.

She nestled in Liu Chengfeng's arms, not daring to move, yet feeling extremely comfortable and at ease.

Liu Chengfeng cleared his mind of distractions, composed himself, and pondered how to leave.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, are you there?"

Liu Chengfeng breathed in the image of the black fish that stretched for thousands of miles in his mind.

The black carp had long since plunged into the endless abyss.

After Liu Chengfeng called several times, Wanli Black Fish roared impatiently, telling Liu Chengfeng not to disturb him.

"Sigh, they're all heartless, leaving me here."

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"I can help you."

The sound of a handful of yellow earth being thrown out had a touch of playfulness.

Didn't you say you couldn't?

Liu Chengfeng was surprised and suspicious.

"Back then you were still in the abyss, now you're just in the interface."

A handful of yellow soil illustrates this.

"Get us out of here quickly."

Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed, seeing hope.

"What did you call me?"

A handful of yellow sand whets Liu Chengfeng's appetite.

"Yellow sand... ptooey, ptooey, blow it away by the wind, Yellow Fairy."

Liu Chengfeng immediately changed his tune, saying that a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him.

"It's vulgar, I don't like listening to it."

A handful of yellow earth makes things difficult.

"The Yellow Heavenly Fairy? The Mysterious Yellow Fairy, the Yellow Capital Fairy..."

Liu Chengfeng used every fairy title he could think of.

"Uncultured, vulgar. Don't use yellow, use 'emperor' instead."

A handful of yellow earth disdains Liu Chengfeng.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Empress? The Ancient Heavenly Empress..."

Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to rack his brains, but all his ideas were refuted by a handful of yellow earth.

"The Fairy Huang Ji".

Liu Chengfeng racked his brains, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck him.

“That’s the one. Did you hear that? He calls me ‘Huang Ji’.”

A handful of yellow earth was particularly pleased with the name, and with a mischievous smile, he said the next sentence to the faceless stone statue.

"Isn't this name grand and majestic?"

Liu Chengfeng was quite satisfied with the name he had chosen, but he felt something was off.

The faceless stone statue was dissatisfied and let out a soft, almost imperceptible hum.

“Grand and majestic, no problem. Let’s call her Fairy Huang Rui.”

A handful of yellow earth, yet he looked like a promising young man.

"Then you should take us out now."

Liu Chengfeng provided assistance.

"No hurry, there's one more thing."

"what's up?"

"Go to a place."

A handful of yellow earth was used to make a request.

"Where?"

Liu Chengfeng suddenly realized that things were not so simple.

"A celestial vessel was buried at the burial site."

He told him with a handful of yellow earth.

"Ten thousand sands bury the immortal boat, guarding against a thousand prison calamities."

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine, and the thought kept echoing in his mind as he shoved a handful of yellow earth into his mind.

"And then what? Is that all?"

Liu Chengfeng didn't believe it would be that simple.

“You offer me a green vine shoot.”

A handful of yellow earth reveals the true intention.

"Green vine shoots?"

Liu Chengfeng was shocked; he had obtained this item from the Azure Emperor.

"why?"

Liu Chengfeng pressed for details, sensing that there was more to this than met the eye.

At the Azure Emperor Ancestral Peak, the Azure Emperor held up a green vine and faced the faceless stone statue.

"No reason."

I won't tell him, I'll just throw a handful of yellow earth at him.

"Since there's no reason why, I won't give it to you."

Liu Chengfeng also refused, saying that the matter was not so simple.

"Don't you want to leave the vortex?"

A handful of yellow earth, a cold laugh.

"Don't you want to get the green buds?"

Liu Chengfeng also asked a question in return.

As long as the other party has what they need, everything will be fine.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can stay stiff."

A handful of yellow earth, a cold laugh.

"I won't stay frozen for long, but I'm hungry, so I'll grill it and eat it."

Liu Chengfeng wasn't afraid of her; he had his own ideas.

"you dare--"

Sure enough, a handful of yellow earth flew into a rage.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's my stuff, and I can bake it, steam it, or boil it however I want—it's all my business."

Liu Chengfeng now had confidence.

"It tastes even better when boiled."

The faceless stone statue, which had been silent all along, uttered a sentence that sounded gloating.

"Then let's boil it and eat it."

Liu Chengfeng agreed.

The back-and-forth between Liu Chengfeng and the faceless stone statue drove a lump of yellow earth mad.

"Little one, think about it, who is truly good to you? If I hadn't given you the yellow sand, would you have been able to escape?"

A handful of loess transforms into a strategy.

"Yes, I remember that favor."

Liu Chengfeng paused for a moment, then admitted it.

"So why do you have to contradict me?"

"Look at the Faceless Woman, what did she give you? A stone basket? Does she dare admit it?"

A handful of yellow earth was used to persuade Liu Chengfeng, and it also sowed discord between him and the faceless stone statue.

"Brother Wanlan, do you have something to say?"

Liu Chengfeng paused for a moment, realizing that what the man in the mound of yellow earth said wasn't without merit.

If the faceless stone statue is the Queen of the Underworld, then the stone basket was a gift from her; if not, then what is she planning to do?
The faceless stone statue sighed softly, but did not answer.

"Then can we talk about what just happened?"

I don't want to get entangled in anything else.

"Get us out of here first."

Liu Chengfeng made a request.

"Okay, go to the Immortal Boat."

Even a handful of yellow earth has its own requirements.

“I can go, but why I should offer up the green shoots is a separate matter.”

Liu Chengfeng bargained.

"Get there first, then we'll talk."

To show his sincerity, a handful of yellow earth agreed.

A fierce wind howled, and yellow sand filled the sky. The sand rushed straight in, crossing the treacherous vortex.

Like a bridge of yellow sand, it brought Liu Chengfeng and Fairy Tingyue down from the bubble.

The bubble burst, and the two of them landed on the ground.

The atmosphere grew even more awkward as they clung tightly to each other. The Moon Fairy, regaining her senses and unsure what to do, struggled to get down.

After standing to the side, she didn't want to look at Liu Chengfeng, feeling embarrassed.

Leaving the safe and comfortable embrace, her heart felt a little empty.

"Let's go somewhere."

Liu Chengfeng didn't know what to say either, and his expression was a little awkward.

"Where?"

The Moon Fairy looked down at her toes with a cold and aloof expression.

"I don't know where the fairy boat is either."

In his mind, Liu Chengfeng asked a handful of yellow earth.

"You follow me."

As the words fell, a handful of yellow earth was expelled, and yellow sand swirled up, unfolding a sandy path that led straight into the burial ground.

"let's go."

Liu Chengfeng disregarded everything else, grabbed Tingyue Fairy, and ran forward.

Fairy Tingyue let him pull her along and followed him.

The yellow sand swept through the black tide, and the black tide actually made way for it, bypassing one treacherous whirlpool after another.

"You brat, prepare to die—"

Sword energy pierced through thousands of miles, and a loud roar resounded.

Sima Wujian spotted them and gave chase, his sword light piercing through thousands of miles and cleaving through mountains and rivers.

Liu Chengfeng and Fairy Tingyue were greatly surprised.

Before they could even make a move, a sandstorm arose, instantly engulfing Sima Wujian and making him disappear without a trace.

"This is good stuff."

Liu Chengfeng's eyes shone brightly; last time, he had used a handful of yellow sand to defeat the Black Emperor.

The Yellow Sand Avenue cuts through the Black Tide, with Liu Chengfeng pulling Tingyue Fairy along.

The Yellow Sand Road winds and twists, passing through one treacherous vortex after another, its destination unknown.

Liu Chengfeng and Fairy Tingyue were even more intrigued, wanting to know where the Yellow Sand Avenue ended.

Deep into the burial grounds, bypassing numerous ominous vortexes, Liu Chengfeng and his companions finally entered a world of yellow sand.

The sky and the ground were covered with yellow sand; as far as the eye could see, the sand obscured everything.

What's truly astonishing is that a huge gap has been torn in the sky, through which yellow sand is leaking down.

The yellow sand rolls on, as if it wants to fill the whole world.

Liu Chengfeng and the others looked up at the sky, their eyes drawn to it.

Beneath the gap in the sky, there was a colossal phenomenon: a golden hand reached down from beyond the heavens and seized a celestial vessel.

The fairy boat glides on the blue waves, full of vitality, a stark contrast to the yellow sand that fills the sky.

The fairy boat hangs high in the sky, yellow sand fills the air, and the scene before us is breathtaking.

"The fairy boat is buried in thousands of sands."

Looking at what was in front of him, Liu Chengfeng understood the meaning of the first sentence, but he didn't know what the next sentence meant.

"What is this place?"

Even Fairy Tingyue was shocked by the scene before her.

"I do not know either."

Liu Chengfeng looked at the immortal boat, which was a single, seamless piece surrounded by azure waves. It was impossible to open, and he wondered what was inside.

"The burial site connects to the heavens and the otherworld."

Fairy Tingyue made a bold guess, but she wasn't sure if it was true or false.

"Now you may offer up the green shoots."

A handful of yellow earth seemed impatient.

"What's in it for me?"

Liu Chengfeng countered with a question.

He was puzzled. A lump of yellow earth was definitely powerful and terrifying, but why didn't she try to snatch it? There must be some secret behind this.

"What benefit do you want?"

A mound of yellow earth awaits Liu Chengfeng's outrageous demands.

Liu Chengfeng fell silent; he didn't know what kind of person the other was.

"You don't have to give it to her."

The silent, faceless stone statue spoke.

"why?"

Liu Chengfeng countered, "The faceless stone statue keeps everything a secret; I'm not happy about that."

"No reason."

The faceless stone statue was uninteresting and unwilling to say more.

"Don't make things difficult for him. If you don't offer him any benefits, what right do you have to dissuade him?"

A handful of yellow earth speaks for Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng agreed with this statement; at least, a handful of yellow earth had brought him tangible benefits.

"you decide."

Ultimately, the faceless statue had no choice but to remain that way.

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine; these words were worth pondering.

He realized that he was the one who could decide everything.

"why me?"

Liu Chengfeng was very curious; there was something more to it than met the eye—the faceless stone statue, the mound of yellow earth, and the stars.

But how could he, an outsider, make all the decisions?
Liu Chengfeng was completely baffled.

"Because you are the only one who can break the deadlock."

The long-lost star reappeared and told Liu Chengfeng.

"What situation?"

Liu Chengfeng was startled.

The stars fell silent again.

Since they weren't going to say anything, Liu Chengfeng ignored them.

"Okay, I'll give it to you, but I have one condition."

Liu Chengfeng negotiated terms with a lump of yellow earth.

"You said."

A handful of yellow earth, sincerely wanting to talk.

"I don't know what I want right now, but when I do want it, I can make a request to you."

Liu Chengfeng was frank and open.

"You're not just asking for an exorbitant amount."

A handful of yellow earth, a cold laugh.

"Of course, my request won't harm you, so it's not unreasonable."

Liu Chengfeng also genuinely wanted to talk.

He didn't know where he stood in the game, but he needed an ally.

"Okay, I promise you."

A handful of yellow earth remained silent for a long time before finally agreeing.

The faceless stone statue sighed, but Liu Chengfeng ignored her.

She wouldn't say anything, and there was no way to break the deadlock by talking to her.

"You can offer it."

A handful of yellow earth allows Liu Chengfeng to dedicate himself.

Liu Chengfeng took out the green radish shoots and held them in his hands.

"what is this?"

Even Fairy Tingyue was amazed.

Liu Chengfeng shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

I dedicate this to you—

Liu Chengfeng shouted loudly, expressing his sincere willingness to offer it up.

The green ivy was offered up, and its light shone brightly, full of vitality, as if a world brimming with endless life had opened up.

The celestial boat, its surface rippling with azure waves, also burst forth with celestial light. The rolling waves instantly engulfed the entire world of yellow sand, as well as Liu Chengfeng and his companions.

The azure waves submerged everything, and the green vine in Liu Chengfeng's hand melted and disappeared.

With a deafening roar, golden light shot into the sky.

Centered on the celestial boat, a thousand golden arms appeared.

The golden arms were slender, supporting the sky and sealing the breach, causing all the yellow sand to disappear.

At this moment, the world of endless yellow sand was gone; everything had vanished.

If the fairy boat weren't still there, one would think it was all just a dream.

The celestial ship shone brightly, and the golden thousand hands disappeared as it flew deeper into the burial ground.

"Hey, fairy, I'm still being chased."

Seeing the fairy boat about to fly away, Liu Chengfeng shouted.
