Chapter 17 The Pragmatic Lord Lan 01
About fifteen minutes after the Yellow Demon Armor left, a blue light rose from the center of the water.
The blue light drifted toward Xi'er's location at an extremely fast speed, releasing its pressure even before it arrived.
Unable to withstand the pressure, Huang Moyi, who remained in place, hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground and transformed into his original form as a seaweed.
Xi'er stood firmly in place. She was now at the second level of the Asking Heaven Realm, and she could hold her own against a Blue Demon all by herself.
The Blue Demon arrived with great momentum, but when he discovered that the little Green Demon in front of him could withstand his pressure, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
In his view, the little green demon must have relied on some kind of magic weapon or artifact to withstand his pressure.
The people of the Fine Demon race are divided into two categories: one is born naturally and has no bloodline inheritance; the other is born from the father or mother who has advanced to the Purple Demon realm.
The two purple demons were too high-level to reproduce, which is also a kind of suppression of high-level cultivation by the Heavenly Dao.
However, even if one of the parents is a Purple Demon, their offspring should not be underestimated.
These offspring are often born as Green Goblins, skipping directly to the lowest-ranking Yellow Goblin stage.
The little green demon in front of him was most likely able to remain unmoved under his oppressive aura because of a magical artifact given to him by the purple demon's father or mother.
He dared not provoke such a little green goblin; if he beat the little one and the older one came after him, he, a blue goblin, would be asking for death.
Thinking of this, the lord immediately withdrew his oppressive aura and transformed into human form, which was a slender middle-aged man with thin eyebrows and eyes.
He stepped forward, nodded slightly, and greeted Xi'er with a smile:
"I was born on September 1, 12428 of the Great Abyss Calendar, and my ID number is 124280901."
Because I am temporarily in charge of the No. 5 water area of Mantou Ridge and have become the lord of this place, my friends call me Blue 01, and you can also call me that.
"May I ask where you come from, young friend? Are you just passing by, or do you have something to ask?"
"Blue 01? Hmph! This is truly a case of being far from the emperor's reach, yet they dare to use such a name!"
I remember that only those who participated in the Great Abyss Sea arena and ranked within the top 5,000 were qualified to receive their own names.
"Someone like you can only be called number 0901 at most, my lord, am I right?" Xi'er sneered.
She figured it out: the demons in this area were all bullies who preyed on the weak. So she decided to take the initiative and make the first move. She figured this lord wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.
Sure enough, the lord broke out in a cold sweat after hearing her words.
If this little green demon is truly backed by the purple demon, and once she leaves this place and spreads the word that he calls himself Blue 01, then the real Blue 01 will probably come knocking on our door.
Thinking of this, he quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, please don't take offense!"
We live in a remote little town, and people here are unfamiliar with etiquette and address each other carelessly. From now on, I certainly won't dare use the name "Blue 01" anymore. Please just call me by my number, 0901, is that alright?
Xi'er casually waved her little hand and said, "I don't care about your name. I came to find you because I want to borrow some Xiguang Stones from you."
I want high-quality stuff; you can't try to fool me with cheap stuff.
"Your Excellency desires a Dawnstone? To be honest, while we do have Dawnstones around here, their quality is rather poor."
Moreover, in order to maintain the survival of the tribe, very few of the collected Dawnstones can be stored. Please don't make things difficult for me, okay?" the lord said, feigning pitifulness.
"Hmph! Don't worry, I won't take your Dawn Stone for nothing. I'll exchange it with you for great benefits. You'll only benefit, not lose out." Xi'er glanced at him with a disdainful look.
The lord had some doubts in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be very respectful: "If Your Excellency wants the Dawnstone, we will naturally do everything we can to provide it for you."
As for the benefits you mentioned, we would be extremely grateful if you could bestow any favor upon us.
"Alright, enough nonsense, take me to your waters for a look around," Xi'er said impatiently.
She only wanted to purify this body of water as soon as possible, and incidentally gain some faith power from the demon race, before continuing to drive the top-grade spirit boat on its way.
Although the lord was dissatisfied, he dared not disobey. This young master looked like someone who was used to being bossy, so he must really have an extraordinary background.
He was a blue demon from a remote little place. It was only because the poor and remote area lacked resources that he could not cultivate high-level blue demons or purple demons, so he was lucky enough to become the lord of a small puddle.
Therefore, he could only dote on his little darling.
Hopefully she won't be too greedy and empty his entire stock; I'll be thankful then.
Lan01 respectfully led the way, bringing Xi'er into the waters.
Xi'er frowned more and more as she looked at the large body of water. She had originally thought that the water quality of the large body of water would be much better than the small puddles where more than a hundred of the fine demons had gathered before.
However, to my surprise, only a small area in the central region, which was separated from the main area, had slightly clearer water. The surrounding areas were just as murky, and the original color of the seawater could not be seen at all.
"Blue01, have you ever heard of Goddess Bai Xi?" Xi'er asked, glancing at him sideways.
"Of course I've heard of it. It's said that wherever the Goddess Bai Xi goes, those murky puddles turn into clear, transparent waters."
"I don't know if this legend is true or not. If it weren't so far away, I would like to go and see for myself," said Lan01.
He didn't really believe it. If such a goddess really existed, she would definitely be invited to the Great Abyss by the High Priest. How could she possibly be wandering around in their remote and impoverished area?
Xi'er sensed his suspicion but was too lazy to explain, simply giving the order:
"Now I, the divine messenger, will purify the waters for you. Divide the entire waters into seven equal sections, gather the people of each section together, and wait quietly."
The lord was greatly alarmed upon hearing this.
Even if he were slow on the uptake, he would realize at this moment that the little green demon in front of him was none other than the legendary messenger of the gods—Goddess Bai Xi.
He was so excited he was trembling all over!
No matter how large an area she can purify, even if it's only a small area of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) where he can draw pure water, he might still have a chance to break through to the peak of the Blue Demon realm.
At that time, wouldn't all the waters within this radius of several hundred miles revere him?
"Someone! Pass down the order to have the two neighboring green demons gather the yellow demons under their jurisdiction as soon as possible!"
"Just say that Goddess Bai Xi has come to our Mantou Ridge No. 5 water area to use her divine magic to purify this water area for us!" Lan 01 decisively instructed Huang Mojia and Yi, who were following him.
Seeing that he was sensible, Xi'er nodded in satisfaction.
Whatever his purpose, as long as he can help her gather enough members of the Little Demon Clan, that's fine.
