"Splash! Splash!" They fell into a small pool one after the other, washing away their filth.
The two were members of the aquatic tribe, and although the water was cold, it could not harm them. As for the little black dog, it was already protected by Wan'er's spiritual energy, so it naturally could not be hurt in the slightest.
But when Wan'er looked up, she saw that her hair was covered with countless dense spider webs, blocking the top of the pool.
Mercury wanted to step forward and raise her hand...
"Wait! There's no need to waste your energy." Wan'er called out to him, gritted her teeth and sneered, then raised her head and shouted upwards, "Demon King, this is wrong of you. Such a despicable way of treating guests is really damaging to harmony. If you anger me, I'm sure you won't achieve your goal."
"Hahaha, Holy Maiden, please don't be angry. This was originally a method to deal with others, but I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly, and there was really no time to retract it."
"It seems the Holy Maiden truly lives up to her title; she indeed possesses the demeanor of a great general."
"Hmph, pretentious!" Mercury spat upwards.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" A strange wind came from above, and then the spider webs were ignited by a flame with a "poof!" Moments later, the smell of burning wafted out, and a light appeared above.
"Plop! Plop!" Wan'er and Shui Xing rose from the bottom of the water one after the other, spinning twice in the air to pour the water off their bodies into the pool.
With a leap forward, the two landed steadily on the shore, one on the left and one on the right, and a familiar scent wafted towards them...
Mo Tian, I'm here.
It was pitch black before my eyes, and I hadn't adjusted yet; I couldn't see clearly for a moment.
"Be careful," Wan'er whispered to Mercury.
*Puff puff...* It sounds like bats are flying around.
"Hahaha! A warm welcome to our distinguished guests!" A bright light flashed in the distance. Looking up, a huge torch suddenly appeared in the previously dark area, burning on the left wall. Below the torch was an irregularly shaped platform surrounded by strange rocks.
A tall man dressed in a black robe, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks that were faintly visible, and a dark complexion, was standing in the middle of the strange rocks.
This person was none other than the Demon King Thousand Buddhas. Surrounded by black mist, he was laughing loudly, looking extremely smug.
After laughing for a while, he lowered his head and looked down at Wan'er and Mercury standing below. "Old buddy, we finally meet again!"
"Who said we're old buddies? You devil!" Mercury cursed angrily.
"Woo woo!" Upon hearing Qianfo's voice, the little black dog on Wan'er's chest became agitated and couldn't help but whimper twice in pain.
However, at this moment, Qianfo did not notice her.
"Don't worry, we will definitely avenge you," Wan'er said in a low voice, comforting the little black dog.
"Woof!" The little black dog quickly quieted down.
"I'm here today for only one thing: release him immediately. I'll give you anything you want." Wan'er said expressionlessly, coldly staring at the man in black robes opposite her.
"Oh dear, so you truly have deep feelings, just like your mother back then. It's a pity you've followed in her footsteps, ultimately wasting your love." Qianfo shook his head and sighed, speaking slowly and deliberately. However, in his heart, he cursed, "You and your mother are equally foolish! Do you think I'd believe you so easily? Humph! You're just like your mother, a bastard!" He flicked his black robe, bared his teeth in a strange manner, and tilted his head to the left. "Since you're here today, we can chat about everyday things; there's no need to rush..."
“This guy isn’t one to chat; he must be up to something,” Mercury told Wan’er calmly, using ventriloquism.
