Chapter 382 Undersea Nuclear Test

"As long as you do what I say, you will survive."

Huo Qinghuang vowed, and then added: "I will draw a soul-calming talisman for you to ensure that your soul is not lost. You can also take more nourishing spirit pills and qi-recovering powder to preserve your body."

As she spoke, she turned her wrist, took out a cinnabar pen and yellow talisman paper, and quickly drew a few strokes in front of the astonished eyes of Zhang Ming and Da Liu.

"This is a soul-calming talisman. Wear it close to your body and keep it out of water."

Zhang Ming took the yellow talisman carefully, as if he was holding a rare treasure, and quickly hid it close to his body.

"Miss Huo, is this... is this enough?"

There was still trepidation in his voice.

Huo Qinghuang shook his head: "This is only a temporary solution. When I come back from the northwest, I will find you some suitable exercises to help you embark on the path of cultivation. Only in this way can the problem be solved fundamentally."

Zhang Ming was overjoyed. He knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed several times to Huo Qinghuang.

"Zhang Ming will never forget Miss Huo's kindness. As long as Zhang Ming is alive, I will serve Miss Huo for the rest of my life and I will never have second thoughts!"

He was also a smart man and knew that there was no free lunch in this world, so he simply expressed his opinion before Huo Qinghuang spoke, and might as well gain some favor.

"Well, this kid is teachable!"

Huo Qinghuang nodded, very satisfied with Zhang Ming's approach.

At this time, Da Liu, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but ask, "Miss, this luck-devouring technique is so dangerous, why does it still exist in the world?"

Huo Qinghuang glanced at Da Liu and said slowly: "Although this luck-devouring technique is dangerous, it can play a huge role in certain special circumstances.

For example, when facing a powerful enemy and there is a huge disparity in strength between you and your opponent, if you can skillfully use the luck-devouring technique to devour the opponent's luck, you may be able to turn the tide of the battle.

However, this is extremely rare, and the practitioner often has to pay a heavy price.”

Liu nodded thoughtfully.

Zhang Ming, on the other hand, secretly felt lucky that he had met Huo Qinghuang, otherwise, he really didn't know what would have happened to him.

Huo Qinghuang nodded slightly, said no more, turned around and left the basement.

As soon as she went out, she saw Huo Lingfeng waiting outside. When he saw her come out, he quickly came over and said with a smile, "Can we go see the dragon fish now?"

"You want to go see it?"

Huo Qinghuang raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, I have to go and learn more about such a magical species!"

Huo Lingfeng said as a matter of course.

Huo Qinghuang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Okay, then I'll take you to have a look. But don't be scared."

Huo Lingfeng waved his hand nonchalantly: "I am at least half a cultivator, I won't be scared that easily."

The two walked side by side towards the pond behind the old house.

Huo Qinghuang did not trap the arowana in the fish tank. The little arowana could not escape from her palm.

At this time, the night was deep, and the moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, covering the surroundings with a layer of silver gauze, making it seem particularly quiet.

By the pond, the fragrance of lotus is wafting, and the occasional croaking of frogs breaks the tranquility.

When he arrived at the pond, Huo Lingfeng saw the unique figure in the water at a glance.

The dragon fish swims leisurely in the water, its beautiful face sparkling with a strange luster in the moonlight, its long seaweed-like hair flutters gently with the waves, and its tail sways, creating layers of golden ripples, like a dream, as if it came from another mysterious world.

"Is this the legendary dragon fish?"

Huo Lingfeng came closer in amazement, "It is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas..."

"Fishbone."

Huo Qinghuang touched the wall of the tank with her fingertips. "But it prefers to be called 'dragon fish'. After all, it has the blood of a real dragon flowing in its body."

As if in response to her words, the dragon fish suddenly opened its eyes.

It was a pair of golden vertical pupils as clear as amber, carrying a majesty that did not belong to the aquatic creatures.

"Fairy..."

The dragon fish actually spoke human language, and its voice was as ethereal as the echo of the deep sea: "Thank you for saving me."

Huo Lingfeng took a step back in shock: "It, it can talk?!"

Huo Qinghuang looked calm, "A dragon fish that has successfully cultivated can speak human language."

She looked directly into the dragon fish's eyes and said calmly, "Where are you from? And how were you caught?"

The dragon fish slowly swung its tail, a trace of pain and resentment flashed in its eyes, and its voice was ethereal and distant, as if it had traveled through endless time.

"Fairy, I come from a mysterious area deep in the East China Sea, which is where our dragon fish family lives, a peaceful and harmonious place.

However, the East China Sea has been seriously polluted in recent years, and many people have died of poisoning. I may be the last dragon fish in the world."

The dragon fish was in a low mood, with endless hatred in his eyes: "Not long ago, an earthquake suddenly broke out under the East China Sea, affecting the waters where I live. I had no choice but to float to the surface to catch my breath.

Unexpectedly, I was discovered by a group of humans and captured by them in the chaos. There seemed to be monks among them, who used special magical tools to restrain my power, making it impossible for me to escape.

Later, it was sent to many places and finally to that auction."

It looked up at Huo Qinghuang and said gratefully, "I thought I could not escape my fate, but I didn't expect to be rescued by the fairy. I have no way to repay you for your kindness."

Huo Qinghuang narrowed her eyes slightly, and a golden light flashed in them: "What earthquake? It's all a cover-up, just to fool an ignorant little fish like you."

“Not an earthquake?”

The dragon fish was stunned and asked in confusion, "There were rumbling noises at the bottom of the sea every once in a while, killing many fish. If it's not an earthquake, what else could it be?"

"You still don't believe me when I say you are naive."

Huo Qinghuang shook her head slightly: "You know what's going on, right? Those noises are just people doing nuclear tests and launching missiles. Do you really think there was an earthquake?"

"What is a daily life?"

The dragon fish still looked confused.

"They are just a bunch of crazy guys!"

Huo Lingfeng interrupted at the right time. He was indignant and clenched his fists. "These bastards actually launched missiles from the bottom of the sea for their own selfish desires! How could God be so blind as to blow up their little island directly?"

"Haha, if we send this dragon fish to Ao Jiu and tell him about the situation of the creatures in the East China Sea, do you think he will be angry?"

Huo Qinghuang rolled his eyes and gave a wicked smile.

“…”

The corner of Huo Lingfeng's mouth twitched slightly.

This trick of diverting trouble to someone else is indeed something his sister would do.

As the only true dragon in the world, Ao Jiu cannot bear to see his descendants being bullied.

Besides, from Huo Qinghuang's description, Ao Jiu had a bad temper. If he knew that all the people in the East China Sea were suffering, wouldn't he turn the East China Sea upside down?

"Ao Jiu? This surname..."

At this moment, the dragon fish's questioning voice sounded, and its golden pupils concealed a hint of expectation and uncertainty.
