Chapter 60: Otherwise, you'll die.
"good."
When the sound rang out, the girl initially thought she had misheard.
She looked up in surprise, and the heat around her suddenly increased.
Two rings of fire rose from beneath his feet, lifting Nezha into the air. He looked down at him with a fierce expression: "Where are you?"
He was already in a bad mood.
Since these mudfish from the sea dare to come and harass us, don't blame us for being impolite!
The girl quickly snapped out of her daze and pointed in a direction to Nezha: "In the East Sea! Would you like me to lead the way for the Third Prince?"
"Go wait inside the shop." He said this, then vanished in mid-air as a streak of fire.
Is the Third Prince going to exorcise the demon alone? Green Robe, who had overheard the whole thing, quickly returned to the mansion.
She walked around the path back to the door and pounded on it twice: "Miss! Miss!"
Nezha's chop was so forceful, and coupled with her recent high fever, she couldn't wake up immediately. As a female slave, Green Robe couldn't rashly enter the room; she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Chen Tang Pass borders the East China Sea. Because of legends of water ghosts circulating there, fishermen rarely fish in this area. With few people around, the marine resources are abundant, and the seashells on the shore are more beautiful than elsewhere. That's why the younger of the twins thought of collecting seashells as a gift. They weren't mischievous children, but even collecting seashells on the shore led them to fall prey to a demon. When Nezha arrived at the shore, it was completely silent. There were no footprints on the yellow sand, only waves pushing one after another onto the shore.
Nezha landed and put away his magical weapon.
Searching for demons in the sea is too time-consuming; it's better to let them take the bait themselves. Without his ferocious aura, he became a precious and beautiful child. His skin was delicate and tender, looking incredibly delicious. Following his younger sister's example, he also began collecting seashells on the shore.
Whether it's the mudflats or the entire sea area, it all falls under the jurisdiction of the Dragon King of the East Sea. Nezha on the shore naturally attracts the attention of the dragons below. In the dragon palace, constructed of agate, pearls, and countless rare treasures, a giant green dragon sits atop a golden coral throne, gazing at the crystal ball before him.
This is a sea crystal pearl, capable of displaying images of every corner of the sea.
He leaned lazily against his seat, his long tail sweeping out, creating ripples that sent the fish outside the palace tumbling about. He was still chewing on a long object, his sharp teeth biting into the hard material with a crunching sound. The pearl's reflection revealed that the object in his mouth had five jellyfish-like fingers. Blood, barely spilled, was sucked back in; he seemed to be enjoying it, not even letting the bones go to waste. Beside the dragon, a sea turtle dressed in submission stood respectfully. Seeing the dragon devour its flesh with relish, it also looked at the sea crystal pearl with him.
The boy's delicate face was revealed inside the pearl, and the dragon drooled, its mouth agape as it repeatedly rubbed its palm.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow," said the giant azure dragon, the Dragon King of the East Sea. The tassels on his crown swayed and clattered as he shook his head. "I've already eaten a meal of young girls today. Too much will tire my tongue. Besides, a few days ago a local deity committed a crime. Heaven is watching closely, so we must not act too ostentatiously."
By not denying that they intended to abduct the child and throw him into the sea, they implicitly agreed to have food the following day.
The Turtle Prime Minister, adept at reading the Emperor's mind, then said, "How about I give him a few pearls to lure him back tomorrow?"
The Dragon King exhaled softly, signaling him to go.
What do you mean? Are you trying to fool me?
Nezha was getting impatient.
He raised his hand, grabbed the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), and plunged into the sea.
The boy's delicate, lotus-root-like hands gripped the Heavenly Silk and spun around in the seawater.
The crimson longing floats lightly in the sea, as if someone's blood is scattered within it.
The sea crystal pearl was instantly covered in vibrant colors.
The Dragon King had never seen such a thing before and thought it was a child washing his clothes.
But before it could laugh, a "snap" was suddenly heard.
Um?
What's that sound?!
The cracking sound grew louder and louder, and with his keen hearing, he could tell it was coming from the top of his head. The Dragon King looked up in shock, and there, on the resplendent golden dome, appeared a crack as thick as a child's arm. Immediately afterward, the Dragon Palace shook violently, and countless jewels and precious stones fell and shattered, leaving a scene of utter devastation. The Dragon King was horrified at the sight, even his crown tilted askew.
"What happened?!"
Just as the Dragon King was greatly alarmed, hurried footsteps approached. The newcomer was a handsome man clad in silver armor. Behind him followed a hideous demon, who menacingly surveyed the hall.
"Bing'er!" the Dragon King shouted.
The crystal bead fell to the ground, and the red silk inside swirled even more fiercely, layering upon layer like a vortex.
The man in silver armor was none other than the Third Prince, Ao Bing.
He picked up the bead at his feet and said to the Dragon King, "I saw something strange in the Dragon Palace, so I brought Li Gen, the patrolling sea yaksha, to the shore to investigate what is causing the trouble at the sea mouth."
Behind Ao Bing, the "Crown Prince and Dragon King," Yaksha Li Gen bowed deeply: "Your subject will go and investigate!"
On the shore, Nezha's aimless stirring of the red silk ceased. The sea parted in two, and a dark reef emerged from the sandy bottom, supporting a blue-faced, red-haired demon wielding a large axe. The yaksha, baring its fangs, asked, "Child, what are you doing in Nine Rivers Bay disturbing the peace of the Sea Palace? Stop at once!" Seeing this, Nezha sheathed his magic weapon and asked, "Where is my little sister?"
"What little sister?"
Yaksha looked sleepy.
So that's why the child came!
Yaksha laughed loudly: "What child? It's just meat that's a little tenderer than pigs, cows, or sheep, and it's already been fed to the master's belly."
Having said that, he raised his broad axe, a flash of silver light across Nezha's face. The yaksha's expression darkened, and he bared his fangs, lunging at Nezha.
Axe and demon attacked together.
Nezha remained expressionless and swung his Universe Ring down.
The first blow broke its axe-wielding hand.
The severed limb got stuck in the crack in the roof of the Dragon Palace and knocked off the Dragon King's already crooked crown.
The second time, it tore its entire body apart starting from the waist.
Flesh and blood crashed heavily onto the back of the Turtle Prime Minister.
The third strike, and the Yaksha's liver and brains were splattered on the ground.
He didn't know why Pingyu always asked him to spare people's lives, so he kicked the Yaksha's remaining head like a ball into the sea.
The seawater, parted by the Yaksha, slowly gathered together. A brainball the size of half a tree fell into the water, stirring up thousands of waves, with the water surging like a tsunami.
Even Pingyu was awakened by the loud noise.
She suddenly opened her eyes and got up, and the woman in green finally broke down the door.
She wasn't dreaming this time, but her mind was in turmoil. The sound of the woman in green banging on the door woke her up like a thunderclap.
Cold sweat soaked through Ping Yu's clothes. A dull ache throbbed in the back of her neck, a lingering effect of Nezha's chop. Ping Yu clutched her head and asked the flustered woman in green, "What's wrong? Why the rush?"
"Miss!" The female slave girl didn't have time to apologize and anxiously reported, "Someone came looking for the Third Prince just now, saying that he wanted him to exorcise the demon."
Where did they go?
She had barely finished asking when she remembered that Nezha had knocked her unconscious. Enraged, she slammed her fist on the bed and said defiantly, "Let him go! It's good that he's had some trouble; it'll save him from having nowhere to vent his brute force!"
The girl was determined to stay angry with him for a long time.
But this idea was immediately dismissed after hearing what the woman in green said. The slave girl knew her mistress was in a bad mood, but she still dutifully continued, "But the Third Prince said he's going to the East Sea! The sea monsters there are extraordinary. Should we send someone to the General's Mansion to let him know?"
"etc."
Ping Yu was caught off guard by the words "East Sea" and felt a sudden chill. She even thought she had misheard and asked again, "Where did you say he went?"
"Donghai." Seeing her mistress's face turn deathly pale, the woman in green asked anxiously, "Miss, what's wrong with Donghai?"
The story of Nezha's battle with the Dragon King is familiar to all Chinese people.
The dragon that caused the other party to commit suicide was in the East China Sea!
But should I go? Pingyu asked herself: If she stopped Nezha from slaying the dragon, he wouldn't be able to become the lotus incarnation. But how could she just watch the boy die because of it! Her thoughts swirled in her mind like needles, making her already aching brain even more throbbing.
She held her forehead and rolled off the couch.
"Prepare the car."
Anyway, let's go first and see what happens.
It's unclear how long she was unconscious or whether she'll make it in time.
The autumn wind was blowing, and it caused the bowl she used to drink her medicine to fall from her room.
The remaining black, sticky medicinal residue stretched across the ground along the porcelain shards.
It flowed forward until it reached the threshold, where a drop of water dripped onto the steps.
Snap.
The steps are made of green jade, the same color as the dragon skin.
That drop of medicine also landed on Ao Bing's face.
It flowed slowly down, reflecting a deep, almost blackish red color under the light.
The head of the yakshas, kicked into the sea by Nezha, fell squarely onto the dragon prince's head. He reached out and caught the head of his former subordinate, letting the blood splatter all over his face.
One drop, two drops, three drops, four drops...
The azure sea turned murky and dark, and Nezha, stepping into it, watched as more and more white foam surged up on the sea.
Until the wind stops.
The Fiery Wheels instantly appeared beneath his feet, carrying him backward. Suddenly, the sea level rose a thousand feet, and a majestic water beast burst forth from the waves.
A young man in silver armor, holding a halberd, sat atop the beast, tears streaming down his face, his hair standing on end in fury.
"Who killed my patrolling sea demon Li Gen? State your name at once!"
The halberd tip pointed at him, but Nezha's expression remained unchanged.
"Give me back the children from inside the prison, or else..."
He pulled the Hun Tian Ling like a lasso, and the red silk ripped and crackled in the air.
The boy's enunciation was sharp and forceful, revealing his murderous intent:
"Just die."
