Chapter 585: The Girl Turns into an Old Woman
The Flower Demon’s expression froze, and her eyes gradually became cold and sinister.
The people around were shocked. An eighteen-year-old in the Nascent Soul Realm, throughout history, such a person is exceedingly rare, truly a prodigy among prodigies.
Qin Yi looked at the Flower Demon and said with a smile, "To be honest, I really admire this genius girl. At eighteen, her cultivation has reached this level, truly astonishing. Everyone in the Qi Cultivation knows that this girl is bound to become a dominant figure in the future. Many went to congratulate her, with gifts and friendships. You know, befriending someone destined to stand at the pinnacle has many benefits."
"However, things did not develop as everyone imagined. No matter how talented, how extraordinary, ultimately a young person’s mind is prone to drifting. Consequently, this genius girl became so arrogant that she didn’t even take the Pavilion Master of the Baihua Pavilion seriously. She secretly cultivated Baihua Pavilion’s Forbidden Divine Power, the Residual Flower Technique."
"This Residual Flower Technique, although powerful, is an incomplete secret book; cultivation can result in various uncontrollable issues. For example, losing one’s nature and a drastic change in temperament..."
Qin Yi paused, looking at the Flower Demon and continued, "For example... the body being affected, it does not grow, but instead, it shrank. Like the ephemeral flower, blooming at night and withering by morning, its beauty only a fleeting glimpse, unable to last long and hard for anyone to remember."
The Flower Demon clenched her fists, her nails piercing her palms, blood seeping through her fingers.
"Afterwards, because of secretly cultivating the Residual Flower Technique, although she became powerful, she suffered side effects—like a wilting flower, perpetually in a child’s form, growing smaller and smaller. Coincidentally, this genius girl was also called... the Flower Demon."
Everyone looked at the Flower Demon in shock, full of disbelief.
If Qin Yi’s story took place forty years ago, when the Flower Demon was eighteen, then now she would be nearly sixty years old.
