I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 347 Return to the Dream Fairyland, the shocked witch queen, Mr. Lin, you are a bit extreme
White Miao Temple

"Respected Miss Shengling, Mr. Lin, Miss Yue, I am the King of the Southern Barbarians."

"I just saw the letter that Saint Lady asked Anu to bring. Thank you for your help."

An elegant young woman in her thirties led Lin Xuan and the other two on the white stone road of the temple: "I swear on behalf of the Bai Miao tribe that we will cooperate with you at all costs."

This young woman is Anu's mother.

After her husband died in battle, she took over as the leader of the Bai Miao tribe and was honored as the "King of the Southern Barbarians."

He is on par with Zhao Linger's biological father, the Black Miao Witch King, and is the supreme leader of the Miao people.

Over the years, he has been leading the White Miao people to resist the invasion of the Black Miao people.

Because he is fair and dedicated to his people, he enjoys great prestige in the Bai Miao tribe.

"Uh, does the tribe leader call himself the 'Southern Barbarian King'?"

Yao Yue looked a little surprised: "This name doesn't seem very good..."

"The White Miao are in the south of Miao territory, the Black Miao are in the north, so we are definitely considered the 'southern'."

"The word 'barbarian' does have some derogatory meanings. In the mouths of the Han people... well, in the mouths of outsiders, it implies that we Miao people are remote, backward, and ignorant."

The Bai Miao tribe leader shrugged apologetically: "But, you are right."

"what?"

"The Miao country is a small country living in a remote corner. Compared with the Han people who dominate the Central Plains and have many talented people, they are indeed much less profound."

"Ordinary Miao people can deny it or ignore it."

The Bai Miao tribe leader smiled slightly and said, "But as the Bai Miao tribe leader, I cannot do such things as trying to cover up one's own mistakes."

"So the tribe leader calls himself the 'King of the Southern Barbarians' in order to motivate his people?"

"It's not just to inspire the tribesmen, it's also for myself to hear."

"In this life, one must always do something."

The Bai Miao chieftain looked far away and said, "When I can remove the word 'barbarian', I can rest in peace."

"It would be difficult for the clan leader to catch up with the gap of thousands of years in his lifetime..."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As long as the clan leader persists, there will always be improvements."

"Hahaha! Master Lin is still honest."

The chief of the Bai Miao tribe did not take it as an offense and smiled, "So, I was a little disrespectful to the sages of the past generations just now. I am sorry to make you laugh."

"Your Highness is a man of great courage and valor, a woman is as good as a man, and you are worthy of being the ruler of Miao Territory."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It is a blessing for us to fight alongside His Highness this time."

Although the Bai Miao tribe leader is a woman.

But he is generous and bold, and acts in a free and easy manner, so he can be considered a heroic figure.

It's quite comfortable to deal with him.

Speaking of which, several high-ranking members of the Bai Miao tribe are women, and their strength is not as good as that of the Moon Worshiper and those monsters.

But over the years, they have been able to maintain a stalemate with the Black Miao people.

This should be inseparable from the personal charm of the Bai Miao tribe leader and others.

"It is my honor to be able to fight alongside you all."

The Bai Miao tribe leader bowed slightly to Lin Xuan, his expression becoming serious: "In front is the altar dedicated to the high priest, Miss Sheng Ling, please don't be too sad."

"Thank you, Patriarch. I understand."

Zhao Linger gritted her teeth and followed the Bai Miao tribe leader into the altar.

***
At the end of the temple stands a stone statue of the Witch Queen Lin Qing'er.

This stunning witch queen looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with long hair reaching the ground, and she looked exactly like Zhao Linger.

Maybe it’s because she’s a wife, the youthfulness in Zhao Linger’s body has disappeared, and she exudes the dignity of a mother of the country.

Under normal circumstances, this is the one that Cao Zei likes the most.

However, below the waist of the female statue, there is a long snake tail...

I guess ordinary Cao thieves are not that brave.

After all, most people are just like Ye Gong who loves dragons...

"After the battle between the Witch Queen and the water monster, we found this unknown statue by the river, as well as... the remains of the water monster."

"Afterwards, the Moon Worshiper came in person, defeated us, took away the remains of the water monster, and planned to completely destroy the statue."

"I don't know what happened at that time, but the statue suddenly burst into holy light, scaring the Moon Worshiper away."

"The Saint Aunt said at the time that it was the power of the Holy Spirit of the Nuwa clan."

"We speculate that the Witch Queen and the water monster died together, and her body turned into a stone statue, continuing to protect our tribe."

The chief of the Bai Miao tribe sighed and said, "High Priest, Miss Holy Spirit has grown up and is here to see you."

"..."

The statue suddenly emitted a yellow light, which seemed to carry a hint of joy.

"You have really been here all along."

The Bai Miao tribe leader sighed and stepped aside.

"Having merged with the stone statue, is the remaining divine power used to maintain the soul?"

Lin Xuan's eyes flickered: "Such strong despair, sadness and compassion..."

The witch queen Lin Qing'er is indeed quite miserable.

Once the Nuwa people give birth, when the child has grown mentally, the child will absorb the mother's spiritual power on its own.

After the mother loses her spiritual vein, she will no longer remain eternally young, and will get sick, grow old and die like ordinary people.

In order to stay with her lover in every reincarnation, Zi Xuan sealed Lin Qing'er in puppet soup as soon as she gave birth to her, thus maintaining her own immortality.

Zixuan was indeed beautiful, but Lin Qing'er could only maintain the ethereal state of a baby for the next sixty or seventy years...

More than ten years after Zi Xuan's death, the previous Saint Lady paid a huge price and lifted the seal.

After Lin Qing'er grew up, she finally got her happy ending after all the hardships she endured. She married the Miao Witch King and became the Witch Queen, and gave birth to a daughter, Zhao Ling'er.

Then, her husband failed to distinguish right from wrong and was fooled by the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader. He became convinced that she was a snake demon and was determined to kill her.

Lin Qing'er was disheartened, but concerned about the lives of the people, so she had no choice but to die together with the water monster.

But even though Lin Qing'er was dead, she was still worried about what the Moon Worshiper would do next, so she didn't dare to really let her soul fly away, and could only forcibly cling to the stone statue.

She was looking forward to seeing her daughter, but she was also afraid that she would follow the same path as her.

In the plot, Lin Qing'er passed everything to Zhao Linger before she dissipated her last bit of soul power and rested in peace.

I guess Lin Qing'er can guess the following plot at a glance...

I really don't want to see it.

Even if this character is placed in a sad novel, he would be one of the more explosive ones.

"Mother, Ling'er is here to see you."

Zhao Linger wiped her tears and hung the Nuwa Blood Jade around Lin Qinger's neck: "Mother, look at Linger too!"

The Nuwa Blood Jade trembled slightly, emitting a vast and ethereal blood light that poured into the stone statue.

As the blood flowed, the entire stone statue radiated a hazy glow and looked lifelike.

"Ok?"

After a moment, a soft and shocked female voice sounded in the temple: "What...what is this?"

"It's the blood jade left by the goddess Nuwa!"

Zhao Linger was overjoyed: "Mother, are you alive?"

"The Nuwa Blood Jade that has been lost for thousands of years... No wonder..."

Lin Qing'er sighed: "Silly child, mother died a long time ago, this is just a remnant of mother's soul. Reincarnation is the law of heaven. Even if Goddess Nuwa is resurrected, she may not be able to bring mother back to life."

"Woo!"

"Hey, don't cry! You've grown up so much, why are you still acting like a child?"

Lin Qing'er was somewhat helpless: "Now that my soul power has been replenished through the Nuwa Blood Jade, I am already very happy to be able to talk to you for a few words."

"But seeing my mother like this, Ling'er really can't be happy..."

Zhao Linger wiped away her tears and pouted.

"As a descendant of Nuwa, I never thought I could have a good ending."

Lin Qing'er's voice was a little low: "Mom has thought about it over the years. Although I am not ashamed of the world, I am ashamed of you. Fortunately, Ling'er has grown up. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has such a strong talent."

"Ah? I'm very talented?"

Zhao Linger was startled: "Mom, you are not coaxing me, are you?"

"Silly child, how can mother comfort you at this time?"

Lin Qing'er hesitated: "Your talent and potential are the strongest I have ever seen in my life, and I have a very strange feeling..."

"Ah? What did you think of?"

"I can't tell you this either. You can only go to the Trial Cave and ask the spirit of Nuwa to see if you can get her guidance."

Lin Qing'er smiled and said, "You are one of the most outstanding people in the Queen's family. The Queen will probably be very happy to see you."

"Am I really that powerful?"

"But I feel like I'm much worse than Brother Lin."

Zhao Linger hesitated and pointed at Lin Xuan: "Mom, take a look at Brother Lin's talent. The Nuwa Blood Jade was also given to Linger by Brother Lin."

"Such a valuable gift, let's think about it later and see how to compensate others."

"As for your talent, you don't have to underestimate yourself. The spiritual power and talent of our Nuwa clan are enough to surpass all living beings in the world."

"Even the Moon Worshiper, who is a genius, is not as good as us, let alone this... this... huh?"

Lin Qing'er was silent for two minutes this time, and became cautious: "I, Lin Qing'er, greet you, Senior. My soul cannot leave this stone statue, so it is inconvenient for me to bow. Please forgive me, Senior!"

Zhao Ling'er: "..."

Bai Miao tribe leader: "..."

"You are too kind, Queen Witch. I am not a senior, but just Ling'er's friend."

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "We want to save Miaojiang from the catastrophe, but we still lack the Holy Spirit Pearl and the Water Spirit Pearl. Please help us, Queen Witch."

It feels pointless to discuss with Lin Qing'er why I am so strong.

Moreover, Lin Qing'er's use of soul power to communicate will also consume a lot of energy.

It would be funny if his soul power was exhausted and he couldn't perform the Soul-Returning Dream.

It would be better to be less routine and get back to the point.

Anyway, everyone has the same goal, which is to kill the Moon Worshiper and the Water Monster...

"Sir, you are right. I was so excited to see Ling'er that I almost forgot about the important things."

"The Holy Spirit Pearl is here with me. I will give it to you later. But the Water Spirit Pearl should have been in the past ten years. You need to travel through time and space to get it."

Lin Qing'er really stopped worrying about the two's strength and said thoughtfully.

"Traveling through time and space..."

Zhao Linger was startled: "How to travel through time?"

"My mother's cultivation level can only take one person with her. This is a difficult matter. With your current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you."

"If Mr. Lin or Miss Yue are willing, I will use the 'Returning Dream' to bring you back to ten years ago and take the Water Spirit Pearl away in the dream."

Lin Qing'er hesitated for a moment, and said in a serious voice: "But the history in the Dream of Returning Souls has already been determined, and all the written historical events cannot be changed."

"What if it changes?"

Lin Xuan asked.

"If the key events change, the Soul Returning Fairy Dream will no longer reflect this world, and the entire dream will completely collapse like a mirage."

Lin Qing'er groaned for a moment and said, "But with your peerless cultivation, even if the dream collapses, it will be difficult to hurt you in the slightest."

"I see."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and looked at Yao Yue: "Yue'er, do you want to go?" If he took serious action, he would have hoped to kill the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader ten years ago.

However, the Moon Worshiper is still alive and well...

One life and one death creates a time and space paradox, and that dream cannot reflect this world.

According to the Witch Queen's advice, if you don't want to repeatedly play the dungeon, just try to be a bystander.

This also shows that the quality of "Returning Soul Fairy Dream" is slightly lower.

If we could travel directly back and forth in the long river of time, we would not be restricted by real history.

"A dream of returning to the soul..."

Yao Yue pondered for a moment, looking a little hesitant: "If I use my full strength, can I defeat the Moon Worshiper and the Water Monster?"

“It’s unlikely.”

"You..., humph! Never mind, I'm actually worried about this too."

Yao Yue let out a sigh of relief: "In that case, Ling'er and I will wait for you here. Come back early."

"Brother Lin, be careful!"

Zhao Linger blinked, stood beside Yao Yue, and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, the Moon Worshiper shouldn't be able to hurt me."

Lin Xuan nodded and looked at the stone statue of Lin Qing'er: "There is no time to lose, please come in, Queen Witch."

"Okay! Mr. Lin, look into my eyes! Well, just like that..., huh? Ah this..."

Lin Qing'er was silent for a moment, her dark eyes filled with helplessness: "Mr. Lin, your mental power is too strong, I cannot lead you into the fairy dream..."

The dream of returning soul does not literally mean entering a dream.

In fact, it is a special magical technique of traveling through time and space that is unique to the Nuwa people.

It seems like a dream but not a dream, and seems fake but true!
But no matter what, Lin Qing'er's mental power is needed to influence Lin Xuan.

Not to mention that Lin Qing'er is just a soul now and does not have this ability.

Even if she survived, it would probably be of no use.

"Thank you, Queen Witch, for your help. I came in on my own initiative."

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and injected a wisp of fairy spirit into the statue of Lin Qing'er.

"Thank you sir!"

After receiving Lin Xuan's immortal spirit, Lin Qing'er was obviously relieved, and her eyes seemed to turn into two black stars, illuminating the heaven and earth.

As the breeze blew by, Lin Xuan's figure gradually became blurred and slowly disappeared.

"Thank you for waiting for a few days."

Lin Qing'er showed a look of relief, slowly closed her stone statue's eyelids, and said no more.

Obviously, casting the spell this time consumed a lot of her soul power.

"Despite such a huge misunderstanding, he still sticks to his original intention and protects the people without regrets..."

The chief of the Bai Miao tribe looked at the silent Lin Qing'er and sighed, "High Priest, I am far inferior to you."

***
There was a flash of light and shadow, and Lin Xuan opened his eyes and found himself in a small prison cell.

Lin Qing'er had transformed from a stone statue into a normal human form, with a smile on her face, looking at him with some curiosity.

As expected, this was the night ten years ago when Lin Qing'er and the water monster died together.

"Mrs. Witch Queen?"

Lin Xuan's mind moved slightly, and he bowed.

Lin Qing'er's clothes seemed normal, and she wasn't wearing handcuffs or anything like that.

It is also possible that the Moon Worshiper felt that there was no point in using that thing to deal with the descendants of Nuwa.

If you specially make one, the cost-effectiveness will be too low.

“Isn’t it a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar?”

Lin Qing'er smiled and said, "Everyone has introduced themselves to each other just now, so I won't say any more."

"Ok?"

Lin Xuan was stunned: "You now are you ten years later?"

"Yes, after I cast the Soul-Returning Immortal Dream, I also traveled back to ten years ago."

"So I said hello to my current self and asked her to lend me her body temporarily so that I could talk to the gentleman."

Lin Qing'er looked a little naughty: "If you hadn't given the Nuwa Blood Jade to Ling'er to replenish my soul power, I would at most only help you to enter the fairy dream, and I would not be able to interfere with the communication."

"The witch queen is so talented!"

Lin Xuan was very satisfied: "This is not the place to talk, let's go out first?"

Although the Witch Queen is smart, it is a bit challenging to explain all those things to her in a short time.

Now that the witch queen from ten years later is possessed and playing for me, there is no need to waste my breath on her.

Everyone saves trouble and worry.

"Wait a minute! There are many Moon Worship Sect magic arrays set up inside and outside this prison cell, claiming that they can imprison immortals. It's extremely sinister."

Lin Qing'er frowned and said, "My spiritual power has gradually been transferred to Ling'er, my cultivation has greatly decreased, and the Heavenly Snake Staff is not with me anymore..."

"Well, that's definitely a problem."

Lin Xuan looked at the iron prison door engraved with spells, and reached out his hand to gently flick it.

Unparalleled internal energy surged, and the cage pillars twisted like cooked noodles, revealing a hole in the middle that was big enough for two people to pass through side by side.

"..."

Lin Qing'er was stunned for a moment, with horror in her beautiful eyes.

Most of the magic arrays set up here are to restrict the prisoners' spiritual power and prevent them from using magic to escape.

But the unfathomable young man in front of him just waved his hand and tore apart this foolproof cage.

And, what is this?

Is there not even a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy when casting a spell?

Even gods are not so outrageous!
"Will the Witch Queen bring me the Staff of the Serpent?"

Lin Xuan walked out of the cage, looked back at the dumbfounded Lin Qing'er, and asked.

“Ah? Ah! No, that’s not necessary…”

Lin Qing'er shook her head and walked out of the cell in silence: "Mr. Lin's cultivation is divine, I really admire him..."

"Thank you, Witch Queen."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment: "What is the Witch Queen's current plan?"

"Let's go out through the secret passage..."

As Lin Qing'er led the way, she whispered, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Queen Witch, please speak freely."

"Young Master's power is comparable to that of nature. I'm afraid he has already become a god or Buddha. But I don't know why he is helping my Miao people?"

Lin Qing'er smiled bitterly and said, "Others may still have requests, but with your cultivation, I'm afraid everything in the world is within your reach..."

“Not just the Miao people…”

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "If I say that I am doing this for the sake of humanity and the people of the world, will the Witch Queen believe me?"

"This..., believe it..."

The witch queen's eyes showed admiration, and she said quietly: "I just guessed that you are a great ancient being, who was born into this world to quell the catastrophe."

"Ok?"

Lin Xuan was stunned: "What ancient great power?"

"Perhaps the memory of your previous life has not yet awakened, so you don't know your identity or origin."

"But you are definitely not fighting alone, fighting for the common people is also the destiny of my Nuwa lineage."

Lin Qing'er smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't thanked you yet."

"…Thank me for what?"

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, somewhat speechless.

This kind of overly intelligent older sister often only trusts her own judgment.

Because his strength was far beyond her expectations.

So the sister immediately made up a bunch of weird things to try to explain these abnormal phenomena.

Well, this kind of active transformation is pretty good and makes people feel a lot more relaxed.

If the witch queen is a female version of Lu Zhishen...

Just describing the reincarnation space would drive people crazy.

"Although Ling'er was bright, gentle, kind and tolerant when she was young, there was a strong sense of death between her brows..."

"I speculate that Ling'er will only follow the same path as me, and die in agony."

"Of course, as a descendant of Nuwa, with the mission of saving the common people, dying for this is a worthy death."

Lin Qing'er paused and smiled from the bottom of her heart: "But this time when I saw Ling'er, I found that the death energy between her eyebrows had disappeared. This is naturally because she met you, and her fate was changed."

"Your daughter is lively and lovely. It would be such a pity if she died at such an early age."

"But appearance is determined by the heart, who can predict the heart of the people..."

Lin Xuan had some enlightenment in his mind, and he said thoughtfully: "If Nuwa can show her holiness, we should also try our best to help the witch queen revive."

The witch queen's strength and wisdom are both remarkable.

It would be a pity if his soul were really torn apart.

However, Lin Xuan couldn't help much and could only mention it to Nuwa.

If Nuwa is unwilling or powerless...

Lin Xuan had no choice.

After all, the witch queen's situation is special. She has already merged with the stone statue and is basically in the form of a stone statue...

You can't persuade her to change her job to become a gargoyle, right?

"I'm afraid my fate has come to an end. I am already very satisfied to see Ling'er and... cough! You don't have to force yourself."

As she spoke, the witch queen led Lin Xuan around and around until they came to a huge pool: "There is a river under this pool that leads to the outside world. Let's leave from here!"

"I'm afraid it might be a bit troublesome."

"what?"

"Bitch, where are you going?"

Just at this moment, an extremely cold voice sounded, and a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and gorgeous clothes strode out of the palace opposite the pool.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Behind the Witch King, followed a gloomy middle-aged man in a black robe. "The King originally trusted the Queen very much, and ordered me to investigate the matter thoroughly and clear the Queen's name. But the Queen is guilty and wants to escape. It's really ridiculous and lamentable that she confessed herself!"

Alarms continued to sound, and hundreds of elite warriors and mages of the Black Miao tribe gathered from all directions, full of murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, hey..."

Lin Qing'er glanced at the middle-aged man opposite her and sighed softly: "Mr. Lin, I'm afraid I failed this time. But I still have a little soul power left, so I should be able to perform Huimeng Xianyou once more."

"The man in black robe behind the Witch King is the Moon Worshiper, right?"

"Exactly..."

"Since this dream is about to end, why don't we move around a bit to vent our anger for the Witch Queen?"

"what?"

"Were all the people present killed?"

Lin Qing'er: "..."
