Chapter 682: The Spider Lilies in the Underworld Realm
"What kind of book is that?" Diyu asked in surprise.
"It’s just a random book I read," Shenlian Yingyue replied, "but my brother told me that it’s the Book of Heaven, which records everyone’s fates." She flew to the field of spider lilies, her eyes fixed on the red flowers beneath his frightening gaze.
"Yue’er, stop!" he cried out, but it was too late. Her hands were already touching the red spider lilies.
"What’s wrong?" she asked, turning to look at him in shock. His scream had shocked her as well.
"You...do you feel something?" he asked hesitantly, pulling her away from the field of spider lilies and into the sky.
"I feel very good now," she replied, examining her own body. She seemed fine.
Diyu’s eyes widened in horror as he gazed at the field of millions of spider lilies.
"Is there something wrong with those flowers?" she finally realized that something was amiss.
If a normal person, someone without any magical or divine connections, were to touch the Red Spider Lily, several possible outcomes could occur. The person might fall into a deep and prolonged sleep, one that would be difficult to wake up from. The flower’s venomous properties could cause the person to become ill or even poisoned. Alternatively, the Red Spider Lily’s strange and mystical properties could have a profound impact on the person’s mind, leading to vivid dreams, hallucinations, or even temporary mental instability. In short, touching the flowers would be fatal.
In the past, even his subordinates and his imperial father’s women didn’t dare to come near these flowers without permission. Once, the strongest monster in the Underworld Realm came to touch these spider lilies, and it was still poisoned and asleep to this day – two thousand years had passed since then.
"There is no book recording about this," she said with embarrassment after hearing his explanation.
