Volume 1, Chapter 45 – Dare to Impersonate Me? I’ll Definitely Catch Her (Part 1)

That heavenly voice struck Huang Qi like a thunderbolt, sending chills down his spine and paralyzing his limbs.

Not far away, a tall, elegant figure approached with graceful steps. She wore a blue high-waisted ruqun dress, its thin fabric unable to conceal her curvaceous figure—full, trembling curves at her chest and long, jade-like legs faintly visible beneath the swaying skirt. Her silhouette alone could drive any man wild!

Even more stunning was her face—an exact replica of Huang Qi’s current appearance.

This was undoubtedly the Honghua Sect’s peerless fairy, Cheng Hongling.

With each delicate step in her floral canvas shoes, Fairy Hongling’s figure vanished like a ghost, reappearing several meters away in an instant.

Before Huang Qi could react, the blue-clad beauty stood before him. His blood ran cold—he didn’t dare move, let alone meet her gaze.

Fairy Hongling frowned slightly. The woman before her felt like looking in a mirror—identical in stature, wearing a familiar-looking dress she herself owned.

“Such a tall woman, almost my height. She must be from out of town.”

In Huangtian Prefecture, she’d never met another woman who matched her stature.

Though Huang Qi avoided direct eye contact, his peripheral vision confirmed Fairy Hongling’s reputation wasn’t exaggerated. Beyond her formidable strength, her beauty was flawless—especially below the waist, where her curves put his current form to shame. The thin skirt clung to her rounded hips and thighs, showcasing mature femininity rare for a fifteen-year-old—undoubtedly the Golden Fate Flower’s effect.

But more striking than her looks was her transcendent, noble aura—something a country bumpkin like Huang Qi could never replicate.

“Junior Sister, there’s a zombie nearby. Don’t wander—return quickly.”

To Huang Qi’s shock, Fairy Hongling didn’t attack but offered concern, noting his Honghua Sect sword.

“Junior Sister?” Naturally—with only twenty-odd female disciples, she knew them all. This unfamiliar face must be a new recruit.

“Strange. Master said she’d stop taking disciples. Did another female instructor accept her?”

‘She… doesn’t recognize me?’

Awaiting judgment, Huang Qi instead received kindness. Grateful beyond measure, he nodded like a pecking chicken.

Without another word, Fairy Hongling stepped forward and vanished, leaving only a lingering fragrance.

“Mother above! That scared me to death! Thank goodness for this veil!”

Huang Qi clutched his chest, feeling his heart pound violently even through the extra “padding.”

“I have to flee now. Once she returns, I’m finished!”

Once calmer, he bolted downhill without care for appearances.

Fairy Hongling moved like a phantom, her blue figure flickering through the forest like a deadly butterfly. With her cultivation, she could project her spiritual sense—nothing within thirty meters escaped her “sight”, not even invisible spirits.

After all, spiritual sense was an extension of the soul itself!

Suddenly, she halted. Killing intent flashed in her eyes as frost spread from her feet, freezing surrounding flora.

Above, the Bronze Zombie clung to a tree, motionless, its crimson eyes fixed on the blue figure below.

Then it noticed—ice creeping up the trunk!

With a panicked leap, it sprang to another tree.

“Hmph!”

Her sword flashed. A ten-meter blade of energy sliced forward—

Crack! Crack!

—toppling ancient trees like wheat.

The corpse’s landing spot vanished mid-leap, sending it crashing down.

Thud!

Tough flesh saved it from major damage. It scrambled up—only to slip on suddenly icy ground.

“Danger!”

As it struggled, a cold light flashed—

—and its head flew.

“I said: if you come, you won’t leave.”

She sheathed her sword and vanished.

“She’s… more terrifying than the rumors.”

The corpse’s final thought before darkness.

In under an hour, Fairy Hongling purged all monsters near the sect and headed home.

Entering the gates, she frowned. She’d expected mere scouts, not this devastation.

Seeing the ruins and grieving survivors, guilt overwhelmed her.

“If I hadn’t left, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Bracing for blame, she bowed her head—

—only to hear:

“Junior Sister Hongling!”

“Senior Sister, are the monsters gone?”

“Thank you for emerging in time to save us!”

Disciples approached, their reverence greater than ever.

“What… is happening?”

Confused but relieved, she hurried to the Orchid Courtyard to check on her mother.

En route, she met her master, Xu Mei.

“Master, forgive my lateness!”

Xu Mei smiled warmly. “You came precisely when needed. A moment later, and we’d be lost.”

“Precisely when needed? With the sect in ruins?”

“Have the monsters been eliminated?” Xu Mei asked.

“Yes.”

“Then rest with your mother. She must’ve been terrified today.”

Nodding, Fairy Hongling entered her home.

“Mother, are you alright?”

Jiang Linian looked up from vegetables. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

Her daughter winced at the “sharp” tone. “I’m sorry for arriving so late, leaving you in danger.”

“You came just in time! Had you been slower, I’d have been kidnapped!”

“What?”

Fairy Hongling’s petite mouth fell open. Each word made sense, yet together, they baffled her—just like her master’s words earlier.

“By the way, where’d you change clothes? You weren’t wearing that dress when you left.”

“I’ve worn this since departing!”

“No, you left in the green feathered dress, not this blue ruqun!”

“Impossible! I wore this when leaving a month ago—I brought no other clothes. You must misremember—it’s been so long.”

Fairy Hongling sighed. High cultivation kept her body pristine, eliminating frequent changes.

“A month? You left just an hour ago!”

“An… hour?”

Fairy Hongling’s eyes widened in disbelief.
