Chapter 488: Chapter 488: You’re Really Cute【Fourth Update】

Boom—

The earth shook, the heavens roared, lightning cracked, and beneath Yang Jian appeared countless uncountable space rifts, the previous strike having directly compromised the stability of the Heavenly Realm.

Gazing upon the gigantic pit below that was several kilometers in diameter, Yang Jian’s face was full of haughty pride, a flicker of excitement passing through his eyes.

Such power enthralled him!

Little did he know, this power was originally his own.

He felt immensely grateful to Qin Jun, for a person like him, craving for power was always the top priority in his heart, and even if the Limit Pill might have its drawbacks, he had no regrets.

Because he had touched a higher sky.

The cold wind blew over, the figures of the seven Star Officials were no longer present in the huge pit, reduced to ashes in death.

"One got away just now, don’t let him escape!"

Qin Jun’s voice was stern, among the Star Officials, he found Yao Xu the most intolerable, resembling a vampire in appearance, speaking in a sinister tone, clearly the type that would bring endless trouble if let go.

Upon hearing Qin Jun’s command, Yang Jian immediately transformed into a beam of golden light, chasing in the direction Yao Xu had fled.

After his departure, Qin Jun turned towards the Southern Domain’s prodigies and smiled, "See, I told you if they encountered me, consider it my loss!"

The crowd exchanged glances, their minds filled with complexity.

The battle they had just witnessed would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Although they relied on Yang Jian, Qin Jun’s role was also tremendous, not only because of the Limit Pill, but also being able to stay calm and provoke a superpower, revealing a courage they felt embarrassed to compare with.

Xuan Qing especially bowed his head low, overwhelmed with despair.

Such a Qin Jun, he had no idea when he would be able to seek revenge.

Just then, a terrifying rainbow streak shot over from the depths of the stars at an extreme speed, unnoticed by Qin Jun and the others.

"Be careful!"

Jin Chanzi shouted in alarm, hurrying to shield Qin Jun, raising his palm to strike with a Buddha-like golden palm appearing as a mountain flying towards them, Xuan Qing’s eyes wide with shock.

This move—isn’t...?

He could never have imagined that Jin Chanzi was Tathāgata’s second disciple and of the orthodox lineage; their Western Domain was merely a chess piece recently subdued by Tathāgata.

The unstoppable golden palm collided with force, a loud bang, the mysterious rainbow shattered it completely.

Up close, it was the Grand Star Official!

Taking advantage of Yang Jian’s absence, the Grand Star Official struck like thunder, seizing the opportunity.

The destruction of the golden palm also affected Jin Chanzi, who spat blood and retreated, leaving Qin Jun exposed before the Grand Star Official.

"Boy, time to die!"

The Grand Star Official’s face bore a ferocious smile, a terrifying murderous intent locking onto Qin Jun, freezing him in place.

"Stop!"

A cold yet beautiful female voice suddenly rang out, followed by the appearance of a mysterious woman dressed in a purple and golden brocade robe before Qin Jun. Her face was covered by a delicate veil, her loose robe fluttering in the wind, clinging to her body, outlining a perfect silhouette.

It was none other than the Black Butterfly Fairy, the Tri-Star Official!

Confronting the approaching Grand Star Official, the Black Butterfly Fairy raised her palm to strike, causing the Grand Star Official to hurriedly dodge and halt in midair.

Qin Jun frowned at the mysterious woman before him, wondering why her aura felt so familiar and close to him.

"Black Butterfly Fairy, get out of the way!"

The Grand Star Official shouted urgently. If Yang Jian returned, seizing the Wheel of Fate would become difficult.

Had it been someone else, he would have slapped them to death by now, but facing the Black Butterfly Fairy, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

"I won’t," the Black Butterfly Fairy replied calmly, her gaze fixed on the Grand Star Official without a hint of fear.

As their eyes met, the Grand Star Official suddenly felt the Black Butterfly Fairy was so unfamiliar.

Although she always kept a distance from him, at least she wasn’t this indifferent.

Could it be that she was also after the Wheel of Fate?

The Grand Star Official’s heart sank with sadness, but for the sake of the Wheel of Fate, he had to cast aside his affection for the Black Butterfly Fairy. He immediately drew a giant sword engraved with countless mysterious runes that seemed to twist like tadpoles, and struck at the Black Butterfly Fairy.

"For the pinnacle, so what if love is sacrificed!"

The Grand Star Official’s gaze was icy, brimming with murderous intent.

A strong gale forced Qin Jun to his knees with a thud, the immense pressure making him feel crushed by a thousand-foot mountain, but as Emperor Di, he couldn’t kneel before anyone. Clenching his teeth, he struggled to stand up.

The Black Butterfly Fairy still looked calm, casually waving her sleeve and an invisible force swept toward the Grand Star Official.

In that instant, the Grand Star Official was taken aback, unable to react in time before being knocked away by an unimaginable force, flying a thousand meters before finally stabilizing, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at the Black Butterfly Fairy and exclaimed, "How is this possible... How could you have such power?"

Having known the Black Butterfly Fairy for over twenty thousand years, she already existed when he entered the God Temple. He had always thought she had reached her cultivation peak and was surpassed by him, which was evident from the ranking of positions assigned by the temple master.

But to his utmost surprise, the Black Butterfly Fairy had been hiding her true abilities all along.

The Black Butterfly Fairy ignored him and instead turned to look at Qin Jun, whose face was filled with shock, with a gentle gaze.

Her eyes were tender, causing Qin Jun to involuntarily feel as if he’d met her before, even feeling an impulse to lift her veil, but the strength the Black Butterfly Fairy had displayed was too terrifying, causing him to retreat instinctively.

"Pfft—"

The Black Butterfly Fairy covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her voice incredibly sweet, like a breeze blowing through Qin Jun’s heart. Even without seeing her true face, Qin Jun thought she must be of breathtaking beauty.

Seeing Qin Jun stare blankly at her, the Black Butterfly Fairy laughed and said, "I didn’t expect you’d ever be afraid of me."

Hmm?

This means... do we know each other?

Qin Jun blinked; no wonder he’d felt a sense of déjà vu. But even as he racked his brain, he couldn’t recall ever having met the Black Butterfly Fairy.

And the strength she had shown was in no way inferior to Yang Jian’s. How could he have possibly encountered such a woman before?

As for Qi Xie and the other Southern Domain prodigies, as well as Xuan Qing, they were dumbfounded, their brains short-circuited.

Jin Chanzi looked at the Black Butterfly Fairy with apprehension and said solemnly to Qin Jun, "Your Majesty, be careful. This woman is full of demonic energy and has a heavy karmic burden of killing. She’s no kind soul!"

Qin Jun chuckled bitterly, Big brother, even if I am careful, it would be as easy as turning her hand over for her to kill me!

If you have the guts, why not come out and confront her?

Unfortunately, Jin Chanzi dared not.

The Black Butterfly Fairy paid no heed to Jin Chanzi and looked at Qin Jun while softly laughing, "So this is what you looked like when you were young, really adorable."

Adorable?

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched. Are you kidding me?

Being called adorable by a beautiful woman essentially means you are inept!

In the distance, the Grand Star Official was about to attack again when he suddenly sensed a terrifying presence speeding towards them from afar and swiftly retreated.

The Black Butterfly Fairy also noticed Yang Jian’s approach and threw a flirtatious glance at Qin Jun, smiling, "Until we meet again, I hope you’ll give me more chances to protect you."

Pfft—

Qin Jun almost choked on his own saliva. Who needs your protection!

But for some reason, Qin Jun couldn’t help but smile. Although he didn’t know the woman, the inexplicable sense of closeness made it difficult for him to feel any aversion towards the Black Butterfly Fairy.
