Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 829 - 546: Father and Daughter Become Enemies, Heart Eaten by Ten Thousand Insects, Turning the Clouds and Rain, Golden Key (Extended - )

Even Lian Zhumo could detect the scent of Intoxicating Star Fragrance in the air, so as the Saintess, how could Qing Hong not know?

A slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth; she didn't say anything, but went straight to the door of the room where Qing Shen was in seclusion.

"Father."

Qing Hong said softly.

As soon as the words fell, the room door in front of her opened directly. Qing Shen looked at his daughter with confusion, though there was a trace of panic in his eyes that he hid well.

"Daughter, why did you suddenly come up the mountain again?"

"It's nothing, just feeling a bit bored from cultivation in the mountain, so I wanted to come up and chat with Father."

"I wonder..."

Qing Hong turned her head slightly, then asked, "Father, what's the purpose of burning so much Intoxicating Star Fragrance all over the mountain?"

"Oh, you're talking about this."

Qing Shen chuckled, walked out of the room, and closed the room door behind him, as if afraid Qing Hong would see his setup inside.

"Daughter, after you gave me the Gu Heart Worm Cocoon last time, I idly played with it and had some insights. Didn't I then deliberately light some Intoxicating Star Fragrance to see if I could gain any understanding of the Nightmare Skill?"

The Nightmare Skill was Qing Shen's forte, and also what allowed him to reach the position of Saint Lord through cultivation.

This skill was researched extensively within the Demon Gate, but only he was able to achieve such a level.

Ordinarily, Qing Shen would occasionally study the Nightmare Skill to enhance its influence on the Demon Sword.

As the first person in practicing Dream Control Skill, he didn't want the skill to vanish once he was gone.

"Oh, researching new Nightmare Skills? Can Father let the daughter in to take a look?"

"This..."

Qing Shen hesitated for a moment, then asked back, "Daughter, don't you like breeding and studying Gu worm techniques? Why the sudden interest in the Nightmare Skill?"

Qing Hong smiled without explanation.

Seeing this, Qing Shen knew that refusing to let Qing Hong in would likely be impossible.

He knew his daughter's character very well; once she made up her mind, she would never change it easily.

"Alright then, come in and take a look. As for Zhu Mo..."

"Let Zhu Mo wait outside the door." Qing Hong interjected in a timely manner.

"Alright."

Qing Shen agreed, then led Qing Hong into the room while Zhu Mo waited quietly outside.

"Click."

The room door closed, the light dimmed, and Qing Hong instinctively wanted to close her eyes to adjust to the room's light.

But she was suddenly struck on the back of the neck by Qing Shen's palm.

However, Qing Hong did not faint; instead, she turned around and looked straight at Qing Shen.

At this time, Qing Shen's eyes were full of shock.

He was already at Saint Lord level, far stronger than even the strongest Star Emperor. How could it be that Qing Hong did not react at all and could still turn around and move freely?

"Father."

Qing Hong's eyes carried indifference, as if she wasn't facing her own father, but a stranger.

"What are you doing? Are you afraid your daughter will see the process of you absorbing the Gu Heart Worm Cocoon?"

"Daughter, what are you talking about?!"

Qing Shen was startled by Qing Hong's words, then realized her words were baseless, and shouted loudly, "Daughter, didn't I already tell you many times? The Gu Heart Worm Cocoon is useful to ordinary cultivators, even to the Star Emperor, but as I've reached the Holy Master Level, it's useless to me, I wouldn't even absorb it."

"Since you suspect me of doing such a thing, why not just take back the Gu Heart Worm Cocoon?"

The more Qing Shen spoke, the more confident he became.

Because he understood Qing Hong very well; once she gave something, she would never take it back.

If you insisted on returning it to her, she would rather throw it away than accept it again.

It was because Qing Shen was convinced of his daughter's character that he said such words.

"No need for that."

Qing Hong said indifferently, then as if remembering something, she suddenly tore through space and from within the interspatial layer took out an object resembling a golden light-shimmering fruit.

"Father, I almost forgot."

"Many years ago, I once obtained a fruit from the Cold Bone Poison Tree. You should know, this fruit from the Cold Bone Poison Tree is no different than a Gu Heart Worm Cocoon."

"Just recently, I whimsically thought of doing it, and somehow even dyed the fruit from the Cold Bone Poison Tree with golden color..."

"What!!!"

Qing Shen was shocked.

Not only shocked, but a trace of doubt and regret also flashed in his eyes.

"Daughter, no, Qing Hong, how could you do such a thing!"

"Now, is what you're holding the cocoon of a Gu Heart Worm or the fruit of the Cold Bone Poison Tree!"

Qing Shen still held onto a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Hehe."

"I, the daughter, don't know either."

Qing Hong laughed playfully, glanced at Qing Shen, and said, "Since Father doesn't need to take the Gu Heart Worm Cocoon, now I can't tell which one is which either."

"However, Father just said he understood the Nightmare Skill from the Gu Heart Worm Cocoon, so what you got should be the real Gu Heart Worm Cocoon."

"You, you, you, how can you do this."

"Wait a moment!"

Qing Shen was speaking when suddenly he felt a wave of extreme coldness spreading through his body.

Well-versed in ancient texts, his face changed dramatically.

Connecting to what Qing Hong just said about the fruit of the Cold Bone Poison Tree, there was no doubt that the "Gu Heart Worm Cocoon" he had just taken was actually the fruit of the Cold Bone Poison Tree.

The fruit of the Cold Bone Poison Tree is a highly poisonous item in the Longyuan World, bearing fruit only once in tens of millions of years.
