Chapter 139
After getting out of bed, Ye Piaoling walked out of her sleeping chamber.
The Silly Prophet came flapping over with a series of squawks and coos. “Host, did you have fun last night?”
Ye Piaoling gave a cold laugh.
Then she suddenly raised her hand and conjured a golden birdcage, locking the Silly Prophet inside.
The Silly Prophet was shocked. “Host, what are you doing?”
Ye Piaoling arched a brow. “What did you say your mission was again?”
The Silly Prophet said, “To find the Love of the Divine Tree and fight alongside her against the Hatred of the Divine Tree, as well as the Evil Lord and the others…”
Ye Piaoling said, “Sorry, but I am the Hatred of the Divine Tree.”
The Silly Prophet: “??!”
Ye Piaoling looked at it, an evil, shadowy smile spreading across her face. “Didn’t see that coming, did you? You mistook your enemy for your host!”
The Silly Prophet was completely dumbfounded.
What??
It had found the wrong person??
All the rewards that were supposed to go to the Immortal Spirit had been given to the Evil Spirit instead!?
Ye Piaoling cackled sinisterly. “To thank you for all the prizes you’ve given me-especially that last bottle of Happy Water-I’ve decided to send you on a little trip to heaven too!”
With that, she formed a spell sign.
The birdcage instantly seemed to be electrified, and frantic currents of eerie blue lightning surged through it.
The Silly Prophet suffered a thunderous critical hit on the spot. It squawked wildly and tried to fly out of the cage, but it was trapped inside by a Barrier, unable to live, unable to die…
Only at that moment did it finally believe that it had truly found the wrong person!
After one round of frenzied electrotherapy…
Ye Piaoling dispelled the cage, and the Silly Prophet collapsed to the ground, black smoke rising from its body.
Seeing that its condition was about the same as hers had been last night, Ye Piaoling finally nodded in satisfaction and left.
…
The next evening.
The Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord arrived at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, at Falling Petals Courtyard where Ye Piaoling lived. His other two avatars were there.
He had waited far, far too long. At last, the eternal Day of Reincarnation had arrived. The instant the setting sun touched the earth would be the moment of the Union of the Three Po Souls, the moment of his resurrection!
The Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord was beside himself with excitement: Second Brother, Third Brother, your eldest brother is here!!!
The winter sun slanted lazily into the courtyard. Everything was clean and tidy. In the corner stood a refrigerator, as well as a triangular coffin.
Fox Shadow was eating ice cream on a rocking chair. When he saw the black-robed Heavenly Po drift over, he smiled casually and said, “Right on time.”
Seeing his utterly salted-fish attitude, the Heavenly Po was somewhat displeased. “You’re certainly living a leisurely life. Have you forgotten your identity as the Evil Lord’s Human Po?”
Fox Shadow ate his ice cream and smiled. “Then what else do you want me to do? I’m not like you. I don’t have magic power, and I can’t possess people. I’m just equipped like an ordinary person. To hide the fact that I can’t get injured, what can I do except laze around?”
The Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord said in a deep voice, “Is this the attitude you should have when seeing your eldest brother?”
Fox Shadow froze for a moment, as if remembering something, and quickly said, “Sorry, that was rude of me. I’ll receive you properly right away.”
With that, he stood, opened the refrigerator, and took out an ice cream bar for him too. “Come on, try it. Third Brother froze this one.”
The Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord: “…”
“I don’t eat such things,” said the Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord. “Where is Third Brother?”
Fox Shadow pointed at the refrigerator. “Inside.”
The Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord asked, “That woman has kept it locked in a box all this time?”
Fox Shadow said, “Yeah. Right now, he’s the refrigerator’s condenser.”
“…” The Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord snapped, “Then hurry up and move it out!”
Fox Shadow said, “After I finish this ice cream. If you’re in a hurry, you can move it yourself.”
The Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord swallowed back his anger. The time for their fusion was almost here, yet his Human Po was still acting so unhurried and slacking off so thoroughly…
Of his two avatars, one was like a useless bum, and the other was like an idiot. They were impossible to carry!
The Heavenly Po was utterly disdainful.
Unable to restrain himself, he walked to the refrigerator, moved everything inside out of the way, and only then saw the Ghost Po in the very back.
The Ghost Po was still wearing the panda suit.
Cursing under his breath, the Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord hauled the panda out and tore away that ridiculous meme-like outer packaging.
Then he sneered and mocked, “Di Xiulan and the others are truly stupid beyond belief. They went to such great lengths to bring my Ghost Po back from the southern canyon… Little did they know, they were helping me instead. The divine restriction cannot stop my resurrection at all. Even if they lock it up here, what use is that?”
“It was still a little useful,” Fox Shadow reminded him. “They used it to make a lot of ice cream.”
The Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord gnashed his teeth. “Whose side are you on, exactly?”
Fox Shadow sighed. “If I could choose, I’d rather be on my Eldest Miss’s side. I’d just spend every day relaxing like this, with barely any work to do…”
Licking the last of the ice cream from the bottom of the cup, Fox Shadow suddenly suggested, “How about we just don’t fuse and resurrect? After resurrection, there’ll definitely be a pile of work. Just thinking about it makes me tired… Why don’t we just keep living like we are now, each doing our own thing? I think Third Brother is doing pretty well in the refrigerator too.”
“Enough nonsense!” the Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord barked. “Are you done eating yet?”
“Done. I’m done.” Fox Shadow had no choice. Reluctantly, he stood and walked to his side. “You’re the elder brother. What you say goes. If you want to fuse, then let’s fuse!”
In any case, after the fusion, his portion would not contribute much. The Heavenly Po would be the one in charge. The Heavenly Po was the Evil Lord’s main body.
The Heavenly Po raised his hand and cast a spell. An eerie blue spell formation suddenly surged up beneath their feet. The three of them formed a back-to-back triangle and began slowly rotating within the formation, rising into the air!
At the same time, the last ray of the setting sun vanished below the horizon.
The long night was about to fall. The formation’s light grew ever brighter, and the entire Prime Minister’s Mansion was shrouded in a strange blue evil glow!
When Ye Liaozhai saw this, he was horrified and hurried over to investigate.
The moment he entered Falling Petals Courtyard, he saw the Evil Lord in midair, in the midst of fusing.
“Y-you are…”
Ye Liaozhai’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as he shouted, “Someone! Someone, come quickly!”
The Heavenly Po found his shouting extremely irritating. With a casual sweep of his sleeve, he knocked Ye Liaozhai to the ground.
When Ye Piaoling rushed back to the courtyard, she saw this astonishing scene-
Fox Shadow and the Ghost Po had formed a triune body with the Heavenly Po, releasing powerful Chaotic-Era Evil Light into the void!
Ye Piaoling glared at Fox Shadow. “So you were the Evil Lord’s Human Po all along!”
Fox Shadow looked like he was about to cry. “I don’t want to be either! My Eldest Miss, how about we switch? You can take my place and fuse with those two!”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
The Heavenly Po of the Evil Lord roared, “Shut up!”
