Chapter 107: Imprisonment in Guixu
As expected, when he saw her holding the hard dragon scale that was flashing with sharp arc light and piercing through the silk clothes and approaching her heart, Ying Shixue's unchanging cold eyes finally became like the ice behind him cracking.
His dragon tail coiled in front of her, and he said coldly, "Put down the dragon scales first."
Shang Youqing listened to Cheng Huang's roar as he got closer, but he tightened his grip on the dragon scales, drawing a bloody mark on his chest. He stared at him, still emphasizing each word, "Let me go."
Just as Shang Youqing was about to pierce the cold arc of dragon scales deeper into his heart, Ying Sixue's dragon tail retreated.
Shang Youqing stumbled and fell off the ice bed. She stared vigilantly at Ying Shixue who was standing there motionless. She pressed her heart meridian with dragon scales with one hand and moved back to the broken edge with the other hand.
"Phoenix! Give me your hand!"
Shang Youqing looked up and saw the incarnation of the mythical beast Cheng Huang carrying Chen Jichuan down from the broken glacier. The blood-red halo that Chen Jichuan pushed away with his right hand was the key to breaking the glacier.
As Shang Youqing handed his hand to Chen Jichuan, he turned around and glanced at Ying Shixue who was watching the ice and rocks rolling down into the evil water pool.
Ying Shixue still stood there with her hands hanging down, her cold eyes cast on the hand she extended.
But it was only a moment before Shang Youqing was pulled up by Chen Jichuan and immediately grabbed Cheng Huang's two moon horns, allowing Cheng Huang to lead them away from the glacier fracture and leave this underwater dragon cave...
The seabed was shaking more and more violently like ice hammers. After Shang Youqing left completely, the huge ice-blue dragon tail swayed slowly, and the arc of dragon scales spreading from the dragon tail instantly dispersed the swirling and shaking water.
After a while, the several layers of water gradually returned to their previous calm.
As if nothing had happened.
Ying Shixue came out of the Dragon Cave and was about to leave the waters when he was stopped by several sea leaders who had rushed over urgently.
"King! You cannot enter Guixu! This is clearly a trap set by the Nine Heavens. If you go, you will definitely fall into the trap of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Yes, King, you have done your utmost to protect the little prince and princess. You used your dragon breath to build a protective barrier in the water. It was only when they tried to escape that they immediately fell into the maze and were tricked into the Guixu..."
"The dragon and phoenix bloodlines of the young prince and the little princess are indeed precious. With them, the dragon clan will be more confident in clashing with the heavens. However, this is premised on the king's own safety being guaranteed! You are the hope of the Dragon God lineage, and you must not allow any mishaps to occur at this time—"
…
A few hours ago.
Shang You had just rushed out of the barrier with his brother when the cold sea water hit them in the face.
Shang You grabbed his brother's hand tightly and swam out of the water with his little dragon tail, but almost immediately he found that fog was spreading on the sea surface. Looking around, it was all white.
The two cubs wanted to swim to the shore as quickly as possible, but Shang You's physical strength had been almost depleted by this time. After swimming for a while, he was exhausted and could not even wag his little tail.
He Zhimo carried Shang You on his back and used the power of the two little dragon horns on his head to stir the water and splash forward.
At this moment, a wobbly little fishing boat suddenly appeared on the foggy sea.
The old man sitting in the small boat fishing had white hair and a kind and compassionate face. When he noticed the two cubs struggling not far away, he paddled the boat and moved over.
"Child, come here, give your hands to grandpa, and grandpa will pull you up."
He Zhimo didn't expect to be so lucky as to meet an old man fishing on the sea. He asked the old man to pull Shang You up first, and then he climbed up breathlessly by kicking the stern of the boat.
He Zhimo didn't care about taking a rest. He wiped Shang You's face which was covered with seawater. He turned around and thanked the old man politely, "Grandpa, thank you for saving me and my sister. When my sister and I find our mother, we will definitely repay you!"
The old man sat back at the bow of the boat and rowed. He looked at them with a smile, nodded, and asked, "Good children, where are you going? Grandpa will take you there."
"Oh, Grandpa, just take us to the shore. Thank you, Grandpa!"
"You're welcome……"
He Zhimo squatted down again to wipe Shang You's wet cuffs. While wiping, he suddenly noticed that Shang You's little dragon tail became dull for a second or two. He looked up in confusion and happened to meet Shang You's eyes, who was also frowning and staring at the little corner of his forehead.
"Brother...why isn't Grandpa afraid of our appearance?"
Shang You asked in a low voice.
It was at this moment that He Zhimo realized something was wrong. The two cubs turned their heads to look towards the bow of the boat, but suddenly found that the old man who had just been paddling at the bow was gone...
Immediately afterwards, the sea fog dissipated, and the two cubs had been trapped in Guixu without knowing it...
…
The leaders tried to persuade him for a long time, but unexpectedly, the king still said coldly, "Get out of the way."
Ying Shixue said this only to issue a notice, and did not intend to wait for these leaders to give in.
He slowly moved his dragon's tail, which triggered two heavy waves that caught the sea leaders standing in front of him off guard and knocked them to the ground.
When the water returned to calm, their king was nowhere to be seen...
"Does the king really want to enter Guixu to rescue the little prince and the little princess?"
The Green Eagle leader stared gloomily at the snow-colored figure disappearing in the ocean current and said, "I'll go over and take a look."
After saying that, she lifted up her dark green scale armor and followed closely.
While the remaining leaders were looking at each other, the old man Changyi, who had been stationed at the end of the corridor, also looked into the distance in the direction where their king had just left, and finally sighed.
He narrowed his cloudy old eyes and did not sit still and wait for death.
Instead, he took out a long staff from the water behind him and chased along the direction of the divine beast Cheng Huang's escape from the seabed when the glacier broke.
…
The other side.
At the cliff edge where the wind was blowing fiercely, Shang Youqing sat on the furry back of a yellow cat, obviously still not recovered from the escape just now.
Her hand was still tightly gripping the cold dragon scale, letting the cold wind make her thin silk robe rustle.
Chen Jichuan got off Cheng Huang, and it was at this time that he took the time to look at Shang Youqing.
Shang Youqing looked calm and indifferent as usual, as if he was not affected at all.
But Shen Jichuan noticed that she didn't even have shoes on her feet.
There was a very obvious mark of the chain on her slender white ankle, and the toes were frozen pink. When the wind blew, she subconsciously curled up into the hem of the thin, soft and messy silk dress.
Chen Jichuan only took a glance and had to look away. He said to Cheng Huang: "Let's leave here first——"
He didn't want to ask Shang Youqing what he had experienced in the depths of the dragon cave, he just wanted to find a populated place immediately to change Shang Youqing into clean and warm clothes.
She looked so cold and miserable.
However, before Shen Jichuan finished speaking, Cheng Huang suddenly roared alertly towards the sea not far from the cliff, "Phoenix, be careful over there!"
The old man Changyi jumped onto the cliff from the sea. Not wanting to scare the little phoenix, he immediately threw away his weapon, the long staff, and faced Shang Youqing on the divine beast, saying in a slow voice:
"Little Phoenix, this is an urgent matter. Could you allow me to speak to you privately for a few words?"
