Chapter 116 Get Out Now

Every second she dived into the sea, the huge waves automatically avoided her body and automatically built a water curtain barrier, but Shang Youqing always felt an unbearable blockage in her chest, as if the cold sea water was pouring into her lungs and eyes.

So even looking at the water bubbles outside the barrier felt crowded and difficult.

Her ears were still buzzing with the words Shen Jichuan said not long ago, "He is no longer here."

At that time, Shang Youqing looked at Chen Jichuan in confusion, but Chen Jichuan glanced at the sea on the other side of the cliff again and replied in a very soft voice, "You will know if you go to the sea."

So Shang Youqing and Cheng Huang dived into the sea together.

Almost the moment he submerged in the sea, Shang Youqing understood the meaning of Shen Jichuan's words.

Because the entire sea area is filled with the eternal coldness coming from Yingshixue.

The cold air was thinner than his own, forming a transparent cold current that spread above the surface of the sea, protecting the sea spirit.

The waves that should have drowned her automatically formed a barrier after coming into contact with her Phoenix Spirit Breath.

Shang Youqing was still staring at the transparent barrier that followed her as she dived. Cheng Huang, standing beside her, seemed to be unable to contain his feelings any longer and tremblingly asked what she was thinking, "Phoenix, did that evil dragon... perish?"

Otherwise, why would his dragon breath cold current spread over the entire sea?

Shang Youqing didn't say anything, and she couldn't speak either.

When she and Cheng Huang arrived at the entrance of the Glacier Dragon Cave, she saw the old man Changyi stationed at the entrance, as if he knew she would come and was waiting for her there.

Shang Youqing calmed himself down and glanced sideways at Cheng Huang beside him. Cheng Huang nodded with a complicated expression, "Phoenix, go ahead. I'll wait for you here."

"Um."

As Shang Youqing approached, the old man Changyi bowed slightly to her and said, "Little Phoenix, you are here for those two children, right?"

Shang Youqing stared at him and said, "Yes."

"Don't worry, little Phoenix, the child is fine."

"Whether there is anything wrong or not, I have to see it with my own eyes to know for sure."

The old man Changyi stared at the little phoenix in front of him for a few seconds, and finally took out a dragon scale from under his wide sleeves and handed it over.

"This is a dragon scale that the king left behind. It uses the energy it contains to capture real-time images of a certain location."

While the old man Changyi was speaking, Shang Youqing easily activated the thin, cold and sharp dragon scale with just a touch of flowing spiritual energy from his fingertips.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon scale cold current activated by the spiritual breath automatically pushed aside the transparent water curtain in front of his eyes.

What caught Shang Youqing's eyes was a little cub lying on the floating ice in a pond filled with dragon breath.

Her baby Shang You was curled up with his transformed dragon tail, sleeping on the ice.

The cub's face still looks as white and adorable as ever, with a pair of crystal clear little dragon horns newly grown on its forehead, and the tip of its tail slightly arched as it sleeps soundly.

As if he suddenly sensed something, Shang You's ears twitched slightly, and he climbed up from the ice floe, looking up curiously at the glowing position of the barrier above the ice abyss.

The little cub didn't know that it was the dragon scale energy being activated by Shang Youqing at this moment. He swam to the ice cave immediately and told his brother about the unknown glowing object.

Shang Youqing passed through the transparent ice wall again and saw He Zhimo who was practicing seriously in the ice cave.

The childish conversation between the two cubs was clearly transmitted into the water curtain.

Shang Youqing pinched the dragon scale hard, his face expressionless and silent, but his sight on the water curtain gradually became blurred.

The old man Changyi was still saying, "From now on, if Little Phoenix wants to see the child, she can look through this dragon scale at any time. This is also what the king specially left for Little Phoenix."

Shang Youqing withdrew his spiritual energy and the water curtain image disappeared instantly.

She turned her head calmly and emphasized again: "I want to meet the child."

"The king has instructed that the child can only come out to meet you after completing his training mission in the waters."

Shang Youqing had no intention of backing down. "Why, is the child his and Ying Shixue's alone? Tell him to come out and see me."

"Little Phoenix, the king has already..."

"Dead, right?" Shang Youqing nodded. "Okay, if I want to see him alive or dead, take me to see where he died first."

The old man Changyi could see the stubbornness in Shang Youqing's eyes, but he still tried to persuade her, "Little Phoenix, I really don't know where the king is. Besides, even if you see him, what can you do..."

"He's allowed to play me around, but I can't kick him when he's down? You can leave me alone if you want to see me turn the sea under your king's protection upside down."

Just as the Changyi elder was feeling troubled by Shang Youqing's aggressiveness, a ray of silver-grey transparent soul light spread from the end of the water, accompanied by a deep and old voice -

"Little Phoenix, come with me."

The old man Changyi was startled and reminded Shang Youqing, "It's the soul light of the old Dragon King."

Shang Youqing stared intently at the dragon-shaped soul light floating above the pillars, thinking he was going to take her to see Ying Shixue, so she told Cheng Huang about it. Cheng Huang accompanied her all the way to the ice stele and said worriedly, "Be sure to call me if you need anything. Cheng Huang will be waiting for you outside."

Shang Youqing obeyed and followed the ray of soul light into the barrier.

Beneath her feet was a lava pool spewing icy flames. The flames were fierce, but they never came close to her.

"Axue has been tempering and cultivating in this dark lava pool since he was a child. Every piece of the cold dragon scale on his body was tempered by the surging blue flames at the bottom of the lava pool."

"Every step towards becoming a god is difficult. All the conditions for reaching the heavens are strictly prohibited by the Heavenly Dao, but he still managed to do it. Back then, Axue had already tempered the dragon vein divine bone, and was only one step away from becoming a god in the ninth heaven."

"But you know the final result."

Shang Youqing listened quietly.

He stared down at the lava rolling below him for a long time before saying, "He gave me the divine bone."

The old Dragon King was not surprised by this. "Axue did mention this to me when she came to visit me last time."

Shang Youqing raised his eyes to look at the soul light hovering on the icicle, "When?"

"When you, Little Phoenix, blocked the injury for Chen Jichuan. Axue came to me and said, forget it."

Shang Youqing shook his head slowly, not understanding: "What do you mean by forget it... What do you mean by forget it?"

"He saw that you, Little Phoenix, were determined to obey the will of Heaven and stop him from becoming a god, even at the cost of your own life, so forget it."

"Didn't I fail to stop him? Why did he just let it go?"

"No, Little Phoenix actually succeeded."

The old Dragon King sighed, "Axue said he couldn't bear it. You're in so much pain, he can't bear it."

There was a vast expanse of white fog over the sea, and it was not a good day at all.

All the way out from the bottom of the sea, Shang Youqing leaned quietly on Cheng Huang's back.

The last words of the old Dragon King flashed through my mind -

"When Axue left the sea area, he did not inform anyone of his whereabouts."

Cheng Huang took Shang Youqing to travel in the sky for a long time, but Shang Youqing still didn't say a word.

He was just hesitating whether to tell something funny to tease the phoenix, when suddenly, a phoenix cry was heard, and the phoenix that had been leaning obediently on his back transformed into its true form and flew in another direction.

"Phoenix! Wait for me, Phoenix, where are you going?!"

Cheng Huang was afraid that something might happen to her, so he followed the phoenix as it spread its tail feathers.

As I was chasing, I suddenly saw that the place under the clouds looked familiar.

Just as I realized that it seemed to be the deep forest stream in Guixu Maze where Phoenix saved the evil dragon when she was a child, I saw Phoenix jumping down along the stream.

Shang Youqing first settled down by the mountain stream and transformed back into human form.

As soon as I approached the stream, I could smell a faint, icy chill in the gurgling stream.

Shang Youqingwei raised her pursed lips, forming a beautiful and elegant curve.

"I knew it."

Shang Youqing smiled slightly, and when Cheng Huang came running after him breathlessly, he kindly reminded him, "Cheng Huang, get out of the way first."

Cheng Huang stepped back with his eyes wide open, "Phoenix, what are you going to do?"

The next second, Shang Youqing's Phoenix Fire Formation had sealed off the entire forest, surrounding it completely.

She took slow, deliberate steps into the clear stream, "First, get out of here! Second, I'm going to burn this mountain you're in seclusion on to ashes."
