High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily Chapter 217 - 135: Offering Flowers to the Monarch, Blossoms

Until pushed away by a palm strike from Chen Kuang, Liu Qingcheng’s mind remained blank, almost unable to think.

She was sent flying out of the cloud of dust, crashing through two walls, rolling twice before finally stopping.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Curled up, Liu Qingcheng clutched her chest, her face pale, feeling as if the world was spinning. Her vision darkened, mixed with agonizing pain throughout her body, and she felt suffocated, struggling to breathe.

It felt as though every bone in her body was shattered, and her internal organs had shifted.

At this mont, she could barely move a muscle, and couldn’t help but wonder if she was about to die.

But fortunately, the power of the "Li Pearl," along with the protection of the "Spring Axis Sutra," safeguarded her vital channels, so Liu Qingcheng’s injuries weren’t as severe as they seed. These sensations were rely temporary illusions.

However, such injuries were already reaching the limits of what Liu Qingcheng could endure.

She wasn’t a stranger to hardship. As a child, she wasn’t considered beautiful, being both skinny and small. As a Half-Demon and a brothel girl’s daughter, she was almost destined to be a maid.

No one respected her, and she had done all kinds of dirty, exhausting, and rough work.

Her hands developed chilblains in winter, carrying heavy objects wore her skin down, and walking too much left her legs so sore she could barely stand... she endured all of that.

It wasn’t until one morning when she lifted her bangs to wash her face and looked in the mirror, that she realized her face had unknowingly beco extraordinarily beautiful, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In that mont, the girl, who was yet to be called Liu Qingcheng, made up her mind to break free from a life of being ordered around and scolded at will.

And she knew she could do it.

However, much later she realized she had rely stepped from one predicant into an even bigger one.

When Chen Kuang appeared, she once again had that premonition.

In fact, wanting to enter the world of demons, Liu Qingcheng had already prepared herself for a ti fraught with wandering, injuries, or danger.

But this mont ca on too suddenly.

And the fear and pain close to death were not sothing that could be compared to toil and hardship—they were entirely different.

Liu Qingcheng finally understood why when she said she wanted to beco a demon, Chen Kuang looked at her with slightly amused eyes.

Because... this was indeed sothing beyond what ordinary people could endure.

No one knows how long it took, but she finally snapped back from that terrifying near-death state—Liu Qingcheng suspected it was at least a quarter of an hour, but in reality, it might have been just an instant.

When Liu Qingcheng’s vision returned to normal, a huge snow-white tail was swaying in front of her.

No... there were two!

"Swish..."

The two tails, almost as tall as two floors, swept over her head, stirring up a cloud of dust and rubble.

Liu Qingcheng was in a daze for a mont and was then helped up by soone.

She finally saw clearly that the owner of the tails was none other than Yu Xiangsi, the Madam of Xuni Pavilion, whom she faced every day.

There was no longer any ingratiating smile on Yu Xiangsi’s face at this mont. Her brows were tightly knit, eyes gleaming with a sharp light in her copper-colored pupils, revealing a nearly stern expression.

She said to Liu Qingcheng, "Keep circulating your energy to heal, don’t stop."

Though Liu Qingcheng felt she was nearly exhausted, she still tried to mobilize her ager spiritual power throughout her body to ease her injuries.

She had already heard the chaos downstairs and knew Yu Xiangsi was also a hidden demon.

But at this mont, seeing with her own eyes the familiar person she spent every day with change faces was still hard to digest.

Liu Qingcheng couldn’t help but stare in surprise at the two tails behind her: "Mom, you’re... you’re a Fox Demon?"

Yu Xiangsi, supporting her, retracted her tails without any delay and imdiately flew toward the periter.

Hearing Liu Qingcheng’s words, she nodded, sighed, and said, "Yes."

Liu Qingcheng was montarily stunned.

She never imagined that the demon she had searched for was right beside her all along...

When Yu Xiangsi reached about ten miles away, she finally slowed down, landing on a rooftop.

The surrounding residents had either fled or were watching the commotion, so no one paid attention to the small movent over here.

Yu Xiangsi set Liu Qingcheng down, then couldn’t help but stumble, her face turning pale as she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Liu Qingcheng hurriedly asked, "Mom, are you okay?"

Yu Xiangsi shook her head, taking a deep breath, and smiled at her, "Still okay, not going to die."

When Tong Shi threw that punch, Yu Xiangsi was naturally among the first to bear the brunt.

She hadn’t anticipated another Grandmaster would be hiding, forcing her to endure the full force of that punch.

But Yu Xiangsi was only at the initial Sea Breaking Realm and couldn’t even defeat Uncle Wang Yang... So enduring it was impossible.

However, Yu Xiangsi was a descendant of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. Even though she had only cultivated three tails, her innate Divine Power was enough to save her life.

"Substitute life with tail," that was her Divine Power.

That punch had already broken one of her tails and destroyed one of her realms.

At this mont, she had fallen from the Sea Breaking Realm back to the Tower Ascension Realm.

Seeing Yu Xiangsi’s familiar smile, Liu Qingcheng imdiately felt a sense of relief in her heart.
