C582 Alien Mysterious Rock(part I)

Woo Zhengyang wandered around for a while and returned to the Hundred Flower Palace. He noticed the extraordinary nature of the Star Pavilion but still couldn't figure out why Rice remained in a deep sleep. If Rice had been overwhelmed by the powerful aura of the Star Pavilion, she should have just fainted, not stayed asleep for five or six days. Even if she had fainted, it shouldn't have lasted this long!

After pondering without any results, Woo Zhengyang went to the heart of the Hundred Flower Palace's small world, seeking Yun'er's help. Yun'er was the most familiar with this place.

"Master, you've come to see me... hehe..." Yun'er was delighted to see Woo Zhengyang.

"Uh... Yun'er, from now on, you can call me 'Sir' like Bing'er and the others do."

"Sir... alright, but Sir, shouldn't you become the master of the Star Pavilion?"

"The master of the Star Pavilion?"

"Yes, according to the old master's orders, once you return here, you'll become the master of the Star Pavilion and then... develop it further..."

"We'll talk about that later. I have another issue I need your help with right now."

"Sir, what is it?"

Woo Zhengyang explained how Rice had fallen into a deep sleep and hadn't woken up. After hearing his account, Yun'er was silent for a moment before saying, somewhat incredulously, "Sir, are you saying she entered the Star Pavilion on her own? And then fell asleep inside? And she's still asleep?"

"Yeah! Is there a problem?" Woo Zhengyang sensed something was off in Yun'er's voice.

"There's a big problem. Are you talking about that little girl sleeping in the Hundred Flower Palace?"

Even though Yun'er couldn't fully control the Star World, she could manage the Hundred Flower Palace and its smaller realm. So, despite her injuries forcing her to revert to her original form, she could still see everything within the palace.

"Yes!"

"When you found her in the Star Pavilion, didn't you notice anything else?"

"Anything else?" Woo Zhengyang thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, nothing."

"That doesn't seem right, but maybe..." Yun'er mumbled to herself, then seemed to make a decision. With a determined tone, she said, "I will transform into human form in a moment. When I do, wrap me in the power of the stars and take me to the Star Pavilion. You must be quick, as I can only maintain my human form for ten seconds."

Hearing Yun'er's urgency, Woo Zhengyang realized the gravity of the situation. He nodded seriously and agreed, "Alright, I'm ready."

Soon after, Yun'er's true form emitted a radiant glow, which danced in arcs before Woo Zhengyang, eventually forming Yun'er's body. However, she now appeared pale and almost translucent, a far cry from her usual self.

Before Woo Zhengyang could marvel at the miraculous process, he followed Yun'er's instructions and enveloped her forming body with the power of the stars. In an instant, Woo Zhengyang and Yun'er found themselves in the Star Pavilion. Once there, Yun'er quickly began searching around...

It soon became clear that Yun'er's injuries were severe. She could only maintain her form for about six breaths before her body started to disintegrate. Seeing this, Woo Zhengyang hurriedly took her back to the heart of the Hundred Flower Palace's world.

"I'm so sorry. It's my fault you got hurt so badly!" Woo Zhengyang said, filled with guilt as he looked at Yun'er's true form. He had always known her injuries were serious, but seeing her so weak now filled him with deep sympathy. After all, she was a peak Martial Emperor, yet she couldn't even maintain her human form for ten breaths!

This showed that transporting Woo Zhengyang directly to the Star Bead's location was a tremendous challenge for Yun'er. If she could control this world, she would have sent him there from the start.

"It was an emergency at the time, and the fact that you were so concerned about those girls' safety speaks volumes about your character. Meeting someone like you is more than enough for me, so what's a little injury?" Yun'er said, unconcerned.

“Don't worry, I'll make sure you recover as soon as possible!” Woo Zhengyang assured once more.

He wasn't sure if Lee Yuanye and the others would really bring so many rare treasures, or how effective they would be for Yun'er. But no matter what, Woo Zhengyang was determined to give it his all.

“Just hearing you say that is enough for me. Even though I can't take human form right now, I'm thrilled to be able to see you and the people with you. No one has ever stayed here this long, let alone lived here. It's quite fascinating. Oh, by the way, I have a request...”

“What is it?”

“The house you built the other day is so beautiful. When I can take human form, could you build a pretty house for me too?”

“Of course, I can. I'll build as many as you want!”

“That's wonderful, thank you... Oh, I got so caught up in talking that I forgot the main issue.”

“Have you figured out why Rice has been in such a deep sleep?”

“To be honest, I'm not entirely sure, but it probably has something to do with that mysterious rock.”

“Mysterious rock? What mysterious rock?”

“There used to be a mysterious rock in the Star Pavilion, and now... it's gone. The first place you found the little girl asleep was likely where the rock was. If I'm not mistaken, something must have happened between her and that rock.”

"How big is the Alien Mysterious Rock, and what does it look like?"

"It's about the size of a fist, deep red all over. Have you seen it? Or maybe you should check with the young girl?"

"No need to look..." Woo Zhengyang said bitterly.

Upon hearing the size and color of the rock, Woo Zhengyang already had a hunch about what happened.

"What? Do you know where the Alien Mysterious Rock is?"

"I'm afraid Rice might have eaten it..." Woo Zhengyang admitted, embarrassed.

"Eaten it? How is that possible?" Yun'er was equally shocked.

"It's true. Rice has a unique constitution. She can absorb Qi Blood Crystals to enhance her abilities. Based on your description, the Alien Mysterious Rock is quite similar to a Qi Blood Crystal. She might have mistaken it for one and eaten it."

"This... this... this young girl can consume Qi Blood Crystals to increase her powers?" Yun'er still found it hard to believe.
