Chapter 101 Chasing Su Yuyao
Outside the Immortal Mountain Realm, inside the tortoise shell, Qiang Ji sat cross-legged in the center of the main hall with one eye closed, while Xie Ao sat cross-legged opposite Qiang Ji, using his Qi field to probe into Qiang Ji's tightly closed eye.
"Where is the heavy rain currently concentrated?" Hai Chao asked.
Xie Ao opened his eyes and said with a smile, "On the river leading to Yingguo Garden! They wanted to divert the floodwaters to Yingguo Garden, but fortunately Young Master Qiangji discovered it in time, so we were able to come up with a countermeasure! Although Lord Yinhao and Lord Langzhi have strong Qi fields, our water force is fierce, and they are busy attending to both sides, so they can't be in two places at once!"
"I never expected that Jiujiao Mountain would be so easily defeated!" Hai Chao said with a hint of smugness.
"Gongji, do you want to take a break? Let the rain continue!" Haichao asked softly.
Qiangji simply frowned and did not respond.
Where is that damned girl who watches the dung heap?! Jiang Ji peered at Su Yuyao's small courtyard with her Fish Princess Tears, but couldn't see a single person!
"Thorns? Shall we take a break?" Hai Chao asked with some concern.
There was still no response from Qiangji.
Xie Ao quickly used his Qi field to probe into Gong Ji's eyes, but Gong Ji refused!
Xie Ao looked at Hai Chao with some surprise, "I can't connect with Young Master Qiangji's aura."
"Gongji! Gongji!" Haichao didn't dare to call Gongji's name loudly, but could only call out softly, "Son, let's not look anymore. You only have this one eye left, we have to protect it well!"
You brat, when I find you, I'll definitely... Wait, what's that bird under this Qi shield?! What's that?! You brat!
"Jiang Ji! What did you see?!" Hai Chao looked at Jiang Ji, who was frowning, clenching his fists, trembling, and full of anger, and began to worry. "Son, let's not look anymore, okay? Your eye injury has just healed..."
“Father,” Qiangji said, trembling, “I saw that damned girl who blinded my right eye! I’m going to kill her!”
"Son! Don't be impulsive! Our purpose this time is..."
"I don't care! I'm going to kill her!"
"Lord Tide! Young Master Thorn!" The Golden Moss Rat rushed into the tortoise shell and bowed, saying, "Lord Tide has given orders..."
The golden moss rat stopped, struggling with what to say. He had been agonizing over this the whole way. He knew how dangerous it was to submerge the Vermilion Bird Palace, but he also knew his own identity.
"The Tide Lord has ordered... to flood the Vermilion Bird Palace!" the Golden Moss Rat whispered.
"What?!" Hai Chao exclaimed in disbelief. "Flooded the Vermilion Bird Palace?! Has the tide gone mad?!"
Hai Chao paced back and forth in the hall, hands on his hips, and angrily pointed at the Golden Moss Rat, asking, "I'm asking you! Does Chao Xi know that someone in the Nine Suburbs Mountains can see the Fish Princess's Tears?!"
The moss-growing mouse kept its head down and didn't say anything.
"I'm asking you again! Does he even know my son is blind in one eye?!" Hai Chao roared, her voice choked with sobs. "That's the Fish Princess Tear technique I've been practicing for him since he was born!"
The golden moss rat slightly raised its head to look at the thorn, and the empty eye socket was indeed frightening.
"Flood the Vermilion Bird Palace?! He makes it sound so easy! The Vermilion Bird Palace is so high! Are you going to flood the entire Heavenly Palace?! You're brainless!" Hai Chao cursed.
"You brat! I've caught you!" Ji suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?! Son?" Hai Chao quickly knelt down beside Qiang Ji, stroking his sweat-drenched forehead. "Son, come back, let's stop watching!"
"No!" Qiang Ji had lost his mind. "Xie Ao! Xie Ao! Come here right now! Drown this brat!"
Xie Ao quickly channeled his Qi into Qiang Ji's eyes...
Beneath the hazy, gray mist, a chubby little boy with a stocky build, two topknots on his head, big eyes, and a pouty mouth stared at him, his expression gradually turning to one of terror…
...
"Feng, Feng Zhan, fly lower!" Su Yuyao gently tugged at Feng Zhan's crest feathers. "Fly back! Quickly!"
Yu Ji Lei's gaze at Su Yu Yao grew increasingly fierce. "You brat! If I don't kill you today, I'll have wasted my thousand years of cultivation!"
Feng Zhan didn't know what had happened, but he followed the instructions and carried Su Yuyao quickly towards the white tiger and the Tibetan cat.
"White Tiger! White Tiger!" Su Yuyao shouted, "Quickly hide me!"
"Huh? I hid you?" the white tiger responded from afar.
"Yes! Hurry up!" Su Yuyao looked up at the increasingly dark Fish Princess Tears above her head and shouted anxiously, "Hurry!"
Upon hearing Su Yuyao's voice, Baihu knew the situation was serious and quickly released the paper figure, controlling it with his mind.
The paper figure grew larger and larger, floating higher and higher, like a kite in the air.
Su Yuyao rode Feng Zhan and flew low to the paper figure. The paper figure suddenly unfolded, scattering into golden powder that landed on Su Yuyao and Feng Zhan. The once snow-white Feng Zhan and the pink Su Yuyao slowly turned gray, gradually blending into their surroundings...
...
Huh?! Where did that damn girl go? Qiangji frowned in confusion. He had just seen her riding a white bird! How could she be gone in the blink of an eye?!
Seeing Qiangji's anxious and angry expression, Haichao pleaded with him, "Son... let's not chase after him anymore, okay? Don't hurt this eye again..."
"No way! That brat! I won't let her get away with this!" Qiangji gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
Xie Ao opened his eyes and looked at Hai Chao with some worry. "Lord Hai Chao, if it really doesn't work, let's stop it forcibly. I'm afraid... Young Master Qiang Ji is too excited, and it would be troublesome if something happened!"
"Gongji! Come back!" Hai Chao placed his hand on Gongji's head, closed his eyes, and forcefully withdrew his Qi.
"No!" Qiang Ji shuddered, actually managing to shake Hai Chao's hand off. "I can't wait any longer! I'm going to kill her!"
"Thorn!" Hai Chao exclaimed in alarm, and hurriedly tried to withdraw his Qi again, but was blocked by the thorn's Qi field.
...
"White Tiger! Zang Cat! I saw Yu Ji's tears!" Su Yuyao jumped off Feng Zhan and squatted down in front of the White Tiger, saying.
"What? Fish Princess Tears?" Baihu asked in surprise. "Fish Princess Tears...aren't they just legends?"
"There's no time to explain!" Su Yuyao waved her hand and said, "The reason why Jiujiao Mountain is in trouble is partly because of Yu Ji Lei's surveillance, so we must take care of Yu Ji Lei!"
"How do we do it?!" Zang Mao asked, rolling up his sleeves, his interest piqued.
Su Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "We're at a disadvantage in the rain, so we have to lure Yu Ji Lei under the Qi shield! Feng Zhan and I will lure Yu Ji Lei, and once she takes the bait, Zang Mao, you just smash her to death!"
“No problem!” Zang Mao said, raising his fist.
"There's a problem!" Baihu said, pressing down on Zangmao's fist. "Zangmao can't see Yuji's tears, how can he smash them?!"
Su Yuyao pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then said, "Last time, the Fish Princess Tears turned into a seashell and I smashed it! This time it might turn into a seashell again! If it doesn't turn into a seashell... then you'll follow my instructions!"
“Okay!” Zang Mao nodded in response.
"White Tiger, you're in charge of keeping us hidden!"
“Okay…but…” Baihu was still full of worries and doubts about Su Yuyao’s extremely casual tactical layout.
“White Tiger, I know our tactics are very unclear, because I don’t know what we will encounter. We can only take it one step at a time!” Su Yuyao said firmly. “However, this is the moment to test us! Wasn’t it the same when Her Majesty and the adults dealt with the flood? Even with complete preparations, there will be variables! Therefore, we can only adapt to the situation!”
White Tiger nodded. "I understand!"
"Now there's only one problem left!" Su Yuyao turned to Feng Zhan and said, "Feng Zhan, you're going to carry both me and Zang Mao, is that alright?"
Feng Zhan's crest feathers trembled slightly. "No problem!"
Zang Mao closed his eyes and forcefully withdrew his Qi field. With a "poof," Zang Mao, who had been squatting next to Su Yuyao, vanished instantly!
"Meow—!" A black and white cow cat with pointed ears and round eyes sat down next to Su Yuyao, licking its little paws and looking at her.
"Huh? This?" Su Yuyao was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She reached out and tentatively touched the head of the black and white cat, which then stood up and rubbed against Su Yuyao's hand.
"Is this... a Tibetan cat?" Su Yuyao asked in surprise.
"Meow!" the Tibetan cat responded.
"Hahahaha!" Su Yuyao grabbed the Tibetan cat, hugged it to her arms, and rubbed it vigorously. "It's so cute!"
Zang Mao was somewhat displeased, but couldn't show it, so he could only raise a paw and press it against Su Yuyao's hand with a blank expression, "Meow!"
"Oh, I understand!" Su Yuyao composed herself, hugged Zang Mao, and climbed onto Feng Zhan's back.
"Wait!" Baihu spread his palms and used his Qi to condense a small paper figure. He gently lifted the paper figure, and it floated down onto Su Yuyao's shoulder.
The white tiger sat down cross-legged again and closed its eyes, and the little paper figure on Su Yuyao's shoulder also sat down cross-legged.
Seeing that the white tiger had entered a meditative state, Su Yuyao checked her belongings and said softly, "Feng Zhan! Let's go!"
Feng Zhan flapped his wings and leaped lightly, carrying Su Yuyao and Zang Mao into the sky...
...
The sea surged against Qiangji's protective aura. "Qiangji! Don't be impulsive! A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years!"
"I am no gentleman! I will take my revenge now!" Veins began to bulge in the hollow socket of Qiangji's eye.
Hai Chao was on the verge of tears. He looked at the completely irrational Qiang Ji in front of him and felt extremely regretful!
We shouldn't have used the Fish Princess's Tears! And we definitely shouldn't have listened to the tide and forced our way to the Immortal Mountain!
"Son... Shall we go home?" Hai Chao said with tears in his eyes. "We still have one eye, let's go home!"
"No way!" Qiang Ji roared, clenching his fists. "No one has ever dared to treat me like this! Never! What is this brat? How dare she hurt me!"
Xie Ao looked at the nearly frantic Qiang Ji and gently advised, "Young Master Qiang Ji! Our goal is Jiujiao Mountain. As long as Jiujiao Mountain is destroyed, the person who harmed you will surely come to a bad end! Why do you keep focusing on her?"
"Destroyed... Jiujiao Mountain?" Qiangji gradually calmed down.
“Yes, let’s destroy Jiujiao Mountain first. Once Jiujiao Mountain is gone, will we still have to worry about dealing with that girl who guards the dung heap?” Xie Ao tentatively probed into Gongji’s Qi shield. “Young Master Gongji, let’s go check the riverbed and see if that giant spider has crawled out yet…”
Under Xie Ao's reassurance, Qiang Ji slowly regulated his breathing, "Let's go see... the river..."
“Yes, let’s go check the river.” Xie Ao probed the Qi field into Qiang Ji’s eyes again…
...
The sky had completely darkened. Su Yuyao looked towards the direction of Yinguo Garden, but could only vaguely make out thick clouds. She listened to the sound of rain, but was distracted by the sound of the rushing water in the canyon, thus losing her ability to judge.
Her heart began to race, and her already meager confidence dwindled further.
She closed her eyes, took deep breaths, and calmed herself down! Su Yuyao! Calm down! Don't panic now!
She regulated her breathing, calmed her mind, and emptied her consciousness. Suddenly, she noticed that the Qi in her lower abdomen was slowly circulating, continuously filling all the meridians in her body. Hmm? Is this my Qi? When did it become so much?
She opened her eyes in confusion, then decided to deal with Yu Ji Lei first!
She carefully stood up, brushed off the golden powder from her body, and looked up at the Qi shield, searching for the shadow of Yu Ji Lei.
...
Xie Ao comforted Qiang Ji and slowly led him back, "Okay, let's go back to the riverbed..."
Suddenly, a cloud of golden dust flew up from beneath the dark aura and vanished into the darkness like fireworks.
As the gold dust dissipated, the chubby girl gradually appeared...
"You brat! You're here!" Jiang Ji became agitated again as he looked at Su Yuyao in front of him.
"Young Master Qiangji! Ignore her!" Xie Ao said sternly.
Qiang Ji trembled all over, barely suppressing his anger and controlling his urge to attack. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I...don't...care!"
Su Yuyao stood under the Qi shield, staring intently at the Fish Princess Tear on the top of her head. It turned out that the Fish Princess Tear was not an eye in the traditional sense, but a Qi vortex!
Su Yuyao watched as the originally loose Qi vortex suddenly began to spin, its speed increasing and gradually tightening, while the surrounding dark clouds abruptly gathered towards Yu Ji Lei!
As Su Yuyao watched the dark clouds gradually gather, she wondered if the more clouds there were here, the fewer clouds there would be elsewhere.
Su Yuyao had an idea in mind.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly stared wide-eyed at Yu Ji Lei, only to see Yu Ji Lei slowly slow down her spinning speed, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed.
Huh? What does this mean? Did it not see me? Or... does it not want to look for me anymore?
Seeing that Yu Ji Lei was about to turn around, Su Yuyao panicked. She couldn't let it go!
"Meow..." Zangmao looked at Su Yuyao, who seemed a little flustered, and gently nuzzled her with its head.
Hmm? Tibetan cat? Cat?
Fish Princess Tears! Fish!
Su Yuyao grabbed Zangmao, pinched its two front legs, and lifted it up right under Yu Jilei's eyelids!
"Shout!" Su Yuyao shouted.
"Meow?" Zangmao didn't know what Su Yuyao's intention was, but in the current situation, he could only obey her orders.
"Meow—! Meow—!" The Tibetan cat stretched its body, staring at the gray sky with its big, round, black pupils, and roared, "Meow—woof—!"
"You little brat!" Qiangji stared at the long, thin cow-patterned cat in front of him. "You dare to provoke me with a cat?!"
"Young Master Qiangji! Hold on!" Xie Ao used his aura to stop the gathering of dark clouds. "Let's go!"
Su Yuyao looked at the contradictory Fish Princess Tears and began to wonder. Fish Princess Tears looked very angry, but it seemed as if some force was comforting it! What was going on?
"You brat!" Qiang Ji clenched her fists, her voice trembling as she cursed, "If you dare provoke me again, I really will..."
"Young Master Qiangji! Calm down! We have important things to do!" Xie Ao tried his best to dissuade him.
Seeing that the gathering dark clouds were about to disperse, Su Yuyao became really anxious. She shouted, "You blind bastard! Don't go!"
Although Qiang Ji couldn't hear anything, he clearly received the words "blind bastard" from Su Yuyao's perfectly lip-synced lips!
"Damn it!" Qiangji couldn't take it anymore, a dark cloud gathering around his face. "You brat! Go to hell!"
"Lord Hai Chao!" Xie Ao shouted, "This subordinate can't control it anymore!"
Su Yuyao shouted as she saw the dark clouds suddenly gathering, "White Tiger! Hide me quickly!"
With a flick of her wrist, the little paper figure on her shoulder scattered a cloud of gold dust, and Su Yuyao vanished triumphantly before Qiang Ji's eyes!
The sea tide couldn't get into the thorny energy shield, and it stamped its feet in frustration.
The Golden Moss Rat couldn't bear to watch any longer, so it shattered the Qi shield with a single palm strike and probed the Qi field into the Thorn's eyes.
Su Yuyao rode her phoenix wings a short distance toward the edge of the Qi barrier, then shook off the gold dust from her body. Turning back to look at the completely out-of-control Yu Ji Lei, she shouted, "You blind bastard! Come and hit me!"
Even without moonlight or candlelight, Su Yuyao's provocative face was still clearly reflected in the eyes of the thorns and golden moss rats.
"Stop!" shouted the golden moss rat. "You can't touch this girl!"
"Get out!" Qiang Ji roared, and the energy field trembled, forcing the Golden Moss Rat and Xie Ao out of their way. "Why can't we move! You wretched girl who guards the dung heap!"
"She is Su Yuyao!" the Golden Moss Rat exclaimed.
"Su Yuyao?!" Hai Chao was shocked. "Su Yuyao blinded Qiang Ji?!"
The golden moss rat nodded and said, "If you're sure it was her who blinded Young Master Qiangji, then that's it!"
"Oh dear! How did we get involved with her!" Hai Chao said, patting Qiang Ji's chest. "Son, we can't mess with Su Yuyao! Back then, your uncles even wanted to take her in! We... should just accept our fate!"
"Accept your fate?!" Qiang Ji roared at Su Yuyao, who was hiding at the edge of the Qi barrier with a smug and disdainful expression. "I refuse to accept it!"
Su Yuyao watched as the dark clouds suddenly coalesced into a tornado, rushing straight towards the Qi shield above her head like a giant python...
...
The lake had lost its former tranquility. Under the impact of the torrential rain, the lake water rose several meters high. Qingyue led everyone to use their Qi to control the floodwaters and minimize their impact on the mountain.
Suddenly, the raindrops weakened, and the dark clouds dissipated.
Qingyue looked at the gradually appearing night sky. "The rain has stopped! Let's speed up!"
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.
The gradually calming lake in the air shimmered with brilliant light within the energy field of the crowd.
Qingyue slightly spread her hands, her dantian full, her eyes sharp. Suddenly, her qi field exploded, and the lake suspended in the air was instantly frozen with a thin layer of ice. The people standing on the shore were also shivered by the cold air.
"Young Master Guan Yue, how is Langzhi doing?" Qingyue asked in a low voice.
Guan Yue frowned slightly and said, "The Immortal Master said that the cliff collapsed and the floodwaters rose, so the cleanup will take some time! And... Lord Langzhi has not yet fully emerged."
"Young Master Guan Yue, please tell Lord Yin Hao that the situation is critical, and clearing the passage is of utmost importance!" Qing Yue gazed at the rare clear night sky, hardened her heart, and said, "There's no need to wait any longer!"
Guan Yue frowned as he looked at Qing Yue. "Your Highness, let's wait a little longer!"
"It's too late! Blow it up!" Qingyue said calmly.
“…Yes!” Guan Yue bowed slightly.
"Lord Qi Meng! Tell Meng Yu to evacuate everyone from the river!" Qing Yue sighed deeply. Lang Zhi! I'm sorry! It's too late!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qi Meng replied solemnly.
boom--!
The Qi shield on Jiujiao Mountain emitted a violent crashing sound!
Qingyue's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at the hillside shrouded in thick, dark clouds. "Yao'er?!"
In an instant, Qingyue panicked, and the flood that had been brought under control began to surge again.
Everyone hurriedly increased their Qi, and Guan Yue stepped forward to take Qing Yue's place, struggling to control the thin ice that was about to collapse. "Your Majesty! Please go and see Su Yuyao!"
Qingyue glanced at the extremely unstable floodwaters within the thin ice, then at the hillside shrouded in darkness.
what to do? !
"Your Majesty! Please go! We can hold on!" Qi Meng said as he amplified his Qi field to gather the lake water.
Although Langzhi was buried under the rocks, Qingyue was worried but not panicked. However, the sound she just heard, even without concrete information that it was related to Su Yuyao, had already thrown Qingyue into a panic…
