Chapter 98 Floods Invade Jiujiao Mountain
"Ouch! That hurts!" Meng Yu cried out, clutching the corner of the blanket as she lay on the bed. "Guan Yue! Be gentle!"
Guan Yue held up a bottle of wound powder, looking at the whip marks all over Meng Yu's back, unsure how to apply it gently. "Meng Yu, can't you just bear with it?"
"No way!" Meng Yu shouted angrily, "You've never been whipped this many times! Of course you don't know how much it hurts! How many years of Qi power did the Immortal Master have?! If it were hitting you, your bones would be shattered! It's only because I have some ability that I could withstand it! If it were someone else..."
Guan Yue listened to Meng Yu's complaints, looked at the medicine powder in his hand, and then at the large patches of wounds on Meng Yu's back...
"Huh? Did you hear me?" Meng Yu turned to look at Guan Yue, only to see Guan Yue pour all the wound powder into his palm. "What are you doing?"
Guan Yue poured bottle after bottle until his palm was full. "Meng Yu, lie still and don't move!"
"Huh?" Although Meng Yu didn't understand why Guan Yue was doing this, he still obediently lay down. "What are you doing? What are you going to do... Ah—! I'll fuck you!"
Meng Yu felt a chill on his back, followed by a burning pain.
Guan Yue looked at his back, which was covered with wound powder, and seemed very satisfied. He then dusted off the remaining powder from his hands onto his back.
"F*** you!" Meng Yu cursed through gritted teeth.
His sweat dripped from his bulging eyes onto Guan Yue's neat quilt. All the muscles in his body tensed up under the drive of pain, even his toes were stiff.
Guan Yue looked at Meng Yu's gradually hardening body and began to worry. He poked Meng Yu's hard buttocks with his hand and asked, "Hmm? Why are you hard?"
He nudged Meng Yu's hard leg again. "Huh? Why is it so hard?"
He touched Meng Yubang's hard feet again. "Huh? Why are they so hard and cold?"
He quickly hugged Meng Yu's feet and rubbed them vigorously. "Oh no! Could it be... dead?!"
He hurriedly lifted Meng Yu's face and checked Meng Yu's breath with his fingers.
Meng Yu frowned slightly and said weakly, "Guan Yue... help me... wash my feet..."
Guan Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "Meng Yu! How did you get an erection?! You scared me to death!"
Meng Yu said with a wry smile, "Shouldn't I be asking you that, Guan Yue?! Why are you hard?!"
Guan Yue's face flushed red. He dropped Meng Yu, turned around, walked to the table, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
"You like her that much?" Meng Yu asked, watching Guan Yue's smug back.
Guan Yue nodded calmly, "I like it!"
Meng Yu leaned forward, "How can you be so sure you like her?"
"Because...I..."
Guan Yue recalled how he met Su Yuyao. Apart from that unexpected intrusion, it seemed... nothing particularly special had happened...
“I… don’t resist her getting close to me…” Guan Yue thought for a long time before finally coming up with something unique.
"What?" Meng Yu frowned and said, "You've never resisted me either!"
"And... I grabbed her wrist, but I didn't throw up..." Guan Yue continued to recall sweetly.
Meng Yu retorted angrily, "You just scratched my foot, but you didn't vomit!"
“I…that day…” Guan Yue recalled the body he had seen that day, “and I also saw…her lying there…”
"Oh my god!" Meng Yu struggled to support herself and shouted at Guan Yue, who was deeply in love, "Turn around now! You can still see me lying here!"
"She was only wearing a thin veil..."
"I only have a layer of medicinal powder on my back! Do you want to see it?!" Meng Yu was somewhat speechless.
“Meng Yu,” Guan Yue turned to look at Meng Yu and said earnestly, “I really like her!”
"Me!...You!..." Meng Yu was so angry that his skull felt like it was about to burst open.
"Meng Yu, do you think... I will get her?"
"Get my ass!" Meng Yu rolled his eyes and lay back down. "I just touched her, and Lord Xuanfeng got upset! If you said you liked her, wouldn't Lord Xuanfeng kill you?!"
"You touched her?! Why did you touch her? Where did you touch her?"
"Don't worry about whether I touched you or not! Why I touched you! Where I touched you! The important thing is! Lord Xuanfeng will kill you!" Meng Yu suddenly felt like a fool. Why was he playing the heartbreak game with this clueless idiot?!
Guan Yue was somewhat disappointed. For the first time, he agreed with Meng Yu's point of view. "You're right, Lord Xuanfeng really will kill me, so... I'm thinking... if... she can become the Mother of Limitless, then... could I..."
"Shut up! You idiot!" Meng Yu was about to be driven mad by Guan Yue. He roared, "Empress Yi didn't have so many male attendants because she's the Mother of Wuji! She had so many male attendants because..."
He took a breath and lowered his voice, "It's because... Lord Xuan Yi... is gone... understand?! You idiot!"
"Oh, no wonder..." Guan Yue suddenly felt a little scared.
"No wonder?!"
"After I finished speaking that day, Lady Qingyue got a little angry..."
"Fuck you!" Meng Yu cursed angrily, but he couldn't wake Guan Yue from his sweet dream...
After Su Yuyao and Feihua finished their meal, they lay down on Su Yuyao's new bed to digest their food.
Su Yuyao stood on tiptoe, showing Feihua the wolf fang on her wrist. "Feihua! Look! This is a wolf fang that my wolf mother gave me!"
Feihua had no interest in the wolf fangs. She stared blankly at the ceiling and whispered, "Yao'er, it's time for you to recite your lessons!"
"Feihua, I miss my wolf parents a little. I wonder if my mother has given birth yet, and I wonder if my father is still in the snow mountain..." Su Yuyao suddenly felt a little sad.
"She's given birth, it should be a boy..." Feihua muttered. "Yao'er, you should recite your lessons now!"
"Really?! You also think it's a boy?!" Su Yuyao excitedly pulled Feihua along. "After the floods in Jiujiao Mountain are over, shall we go back to the Wolf Clan together? I want to see my little brother!"
"Oh no! Yao'er, it's time for you to recite your lessons!" Fei Hua said blankly.
"Hey... Feihua, I really want to see my little brother... even though he's not my biological brother..."
“You’re not their biological child,” Fei Hua suddenly asked, “Why do you think about them?”
"Although I'm not their biological child, they spoil me and treat me very well, just like my own parents!" Su Yuyao said confidently. "I believe they must miss me very much!"
“That’s true…” Fei Hua was stunned again. After a while, she said slowly, “Yao’er, it’s time for you to recite your lessons!”
Su Yuyao pouted at Feihua, but didn't respond. She turned over and continued playing with the wolf fang.
"Feihua, when do you think... Her Majesty will be back?"
"Yao'er, if you don't start reciting your lessons soon, it will be too late!"
"You know what? It seems like the Empress is starting to like me too! Even though she scolds me sometimes, it makes me feel really warm..."
"Yao'er, it's time to memorize your lessons!"
"Granny Fangchun!" Su Yuyao couldn't bear it any longer and sat up, calling out, "Take Feihua back to her room!"
"I'm not leaving!" Fei Hua sat up as well. "I'm not leaving!"
"Shut up if you're not leaving!" Su Yuyao shouted without any politeness. "I don't want to hear the word 'reciting'!"
"Recite your lessons!" Fei Hua grabbed Su Yuyao by the collar and dragged her off the bed. "Go recite your lessons!"
"Let go!" Su Yuyao pried Fei Hua's wrist off. "If you don't let go, don't blame me for hitting you!"
"Go memorize your lessons!" Fei Hua dragged Su Yuyao off the bed to the floor. "We're running late!"
"I'm not going!" Su Yuyao struggled and pushed Feihua away forcefully. Feihua had gotten fatter and stronger!
Feihua lost her footing, took a few steps back, and fell hard on her backside.
"Ah!" Fei Hua was angered by Su Yuyao. She stood up and glared at Su Yuyao fiercely. "If you don't memorize your lessons now, it will be too late! You don't know anything!"
Su Yuyao put her hands on her hips and shouted, "If I can't, I can't! I'm not going to memorize it! Get out! This is my room!"
Without saying a word, Fei Hua rushed forward and grabbed Su Yuyao's hair with both hands, shouting, "Use your Qi! Hit me! Use your Qi!"
"Ah! Let go!" Su Yuyao was not as tall as Fei Hua to begin with, and she had the advantage of weight before, so she could throw a few punches at Fei Hua.
But now Fei Hua has grown round and chubby, and Su Yuyao is gradually finding it harder to handle her...
Fangchun and Bai'er sat in the courtyard doing needlework, not too worried about the sounds of fighting and arguing inside the house.
"Granny Fangchun! Your needlework is so good! The lotus flowers on this bib are so beautiful! They look just like the real thing!"
Fang Chun laughed and said, "How can this be considered good? My old eyes are failing! If Fairy hadn't gotten so fat that even her bellyband didn't fit, I wouldn't have used my old, worn-out skills to make you all laugh at me!"
Bai Er said embarrassedly, "How could I have the right to laugh at you! I can't embroider well, and I can't sew neatly! For the young lady's bib, all I can embroider is a little bell or something..."
Fangchun was a little puzzled, "Other young ladies embroider flowers and butterflies on their bodices, why did you embroider bells on yours?"
“Sigh…” Bai Er sighed and said, “I broke the bell that Lord Xuanfeng gave to Miss…”
"Oh my! I thought it was something important! It's just a bell!" Fangchun said with a smile.
She glanced at Bai Er's guilty expression, then at the unremarkable bell pattern in Bai Er's hand.
"Come on! I'll tell you how to do it!" Fangchun said, pointing to the bell. "You embroider a light spot on the bell with silver thread! Then mix in some gray silk thread and embroider a few layers of transitional colors, wouldn't that look beautiful?"
"Oh! That's right!" Bai Er's eyes lit up, and she smiled happily. "Thank you, Granny Fangchun!"
Thump!
"Ah! Ah—! Ah—!" Su Yuyao's earth-shattering cries echoed from inside the house.
Bai Er and Fang Chun were stunned for a moment.
"Miss!"
"A fairy!"
The two quickly put down their needlework and ran into the house, where they saw Feihua pinning Su Yuyao to the ground and punching her repeatedly.
Su Yuyao was covering her face while crying loudly.
"Fairy!" Fangchun hurriedly pulled Feihua up. "Fairy! How could you hit someone?!"
Feihua raised her chubby fist and shouted at Su Yuyao, "Hit me! Hit me!"
"Miss!" Bai Er helped Su Yuyao up and was surprised to find that Su Yuyao's nose was bleeding and her eyes were swollen. She said with displeasure, "Oh dear! Why did the fairy hit her so hard?!"
Fangchun carefully examined Feihua but found no injuries. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Our fairy used to be a gentle and weak girl. How could she have ever hit anyone?! She only learned to hit people after being hit!"
"Hmph! When Her Majesty returns, we'll definitely make her the judge!" Bai Er said defiantly.
“White Ear…” Su Yuyao sat on the edge of the bed and sobbed, “Don’t…don’t tell…the Empress…I’m afraid…I’ll get scolded…”
Bai Er wiped Su Yuyao's nosebleed, rolled her eyes, and said, "You're in this state! Who knows who'll get scolded!"
Fangchun, supporting Feihua, knew she was in the wrong and couldn't argue, so she could only pull Feihua away.
Seeing Fei Hua leave the room, Su Yuyao wiped away her tears and said, "Bai Er... Her Majesty has always... favored Fei Hua... Please don't... tell on me... Xuan Feng isn't here... no one is protecting me..."
At the mention of Xuanfeng, Su Yuyao couldn't help but cry again.
Bai Er looked at the crying Su Yuyao and sighed with heartache, "When Her Majesty comes back and sees the injury on your face... what am I going to say?"
"Just say... I'm tired, I'm going to sleep... Don't let the Empress come to see me..." Su Yuyao said, covering her eyes.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and even with her Qi protecting her, Qingyue's body was still gradually becoming damp.
She stood at the entrance of Jiujiao Mountain, looking at the lake that had risen to the ground in front of her, her heart filled with worry, wondering if she would make it in time!
"Your Majesty, the road from the manure drying yard to Jiujiaochuan has been cleared!" Guan Xiao, covered in mud, quickly stepped forward to report.
Qingyue frowned and nodded slightly. "How is Langzhi doing?"
"Lord Langzhi hasn't sent back any news yet," Guan Xiao replied, bowing slightly. "However, judging from the rising water level, it seems the breach hasn't been cleared yet!"
"Has Lord Yinhao returned?" Qingyue asked.
"not yet!"
After a moment's thought, Qingyue said, "Lord Guanxiao, please replace Lord Yinhao and have him assist Langzhi in clearing the tributary leading to Yingguo Garden as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
"Grandma Zhong! Lord Qi Meng!" Qing Yue turned to look at Grandma Zhong and Qi Meng, who were also soaked. "Until the downstream is cleared, we'll probably have to stay here indefinitely!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
The rain pattered down, the clouds hung heavy, and the rushing water crashed against the jagged rocks.
A gigantic, hairy, brown spider with a red face and black eyes is bracing itself against the cliffs on both sides of the river with its thick legs, while its nimble chelicerae are quickly clearing away the rubble that has fallen into the river.
The torrential rain from above suddenly poured down, knocking down huge boulders from the cliff face. The boulders tumbled and crashed down on the faceless spider's head!
The ghost-faced spider retreated swiftly, and the boulder fell in front of its antennae, crashing onto the rubble beneath it. Sharp fragments flew everywhere, piercing the ghost-faced spider's abdomen!
The bluish-green liquid dripped onto the gravel, only to be washed away by the sudden rush of water behind them!
The ghost-faced spider swayed, and the cliffs on both sides began to tilt.
It hurriedly stretched out its suddenly swollen legs and firmly supported the cliff walls on both sides.
The torrential rain, as if guided by a divine eye, concentrated its firepower on the fragile cliff face, and more and more boulders crashed towards the ghost-faced spider...
The Ghost-Faced Spider was gradually losing its strength, and it was about to block the river below it. If the cliffs on both sides collapsed, the tributary leading to Yingguo Garden would be completely blocked!
Just as the Ghost-Faced Spider was struggling to hold on, the rain above suddenly stopped!
It rolled its eyes; they were silvery-white!
Yin Hao used his Qi to cover the top of the ghost-faced spider's head, and at the same time used his Qi to hold up the two cliff walls that were about to collapse.
The ghost-faced spider finally had a chance to catch its breath. It unleashed its power and quickly cleared the boulders blocking the riverbed to both sides...
As the river channel gradually became clearer, the water flowed in an orderly fashion towards the canyon leading to Yinguoyuan...
Su Yuyao pouted as she looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her nose had stopped bleeding, but her eyes... were so swollen...
Rumble... Rumble...
Su Yuyao looked out the window at the dark gray sky. Hmm? Thunder?
Crack! The bronze mirror cracked!
The entire mountain began to tremble slightly!
Su Yuyao's heart suddenly panicked. She cast a divination at will. The bronze mirror was metal, so she took the Qian hexagram. The crack was the Zhen hexagram. The upper trigram was Qian and the lower trigram was Zhen. The main hexagram was Tian Lei Wu Wang. The time was Shen. The third line was moving. The changing hexagram was Tian Huo Tong Ren. Fire overcomes metal. The external force overcomes the body! Ominous!
What on earth happened? Su Yuyao's heart was pounding wildly.
A group of people had already gathered in front of the Vermilion Bird Palace.
Guan Yue stood in front of the crowd, quickly counted out a group of people and handed them to Meng Yu beside him. Meng Yu, supporting his back, called on the group to run quickly down the mountain.
Guan Yue counted the remaining men and was about to set off when he saw Su Yuyao running towards him.
He stopped and was about to say something to comfort Su Yuyao when suddenly there was another rumbling sound, and the mountain began to tremble again!
Guan Yue's expression changed. Without time to say more, he gently patted Su Yuyao's shoulder and led his men down the mountain.
Su Yuyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after them, grabbed someone at random, and asked, "What happened?"
"Eh? Miss Yao'er!" The person Su Yuyao grabbed was none other than Bi Rong!
"Bi Rong! What happened?" Su Yuyao asked anxiously.
"Miss Yao'er! We must go rescue Lord Langzhi!" Bi Rong exclaimed. "Lord Langzhi has encountered trouble on the river leading to Yingguo Garden!"
After saying that, Bi Rong shook off Su Yuyao's hand and ran off after the group...
"Wh-what...did they die?" Su Yuyao's head was buzzing, her heart was pounding in her throat, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She quickly lifted her skirt and chased after Guan Yue's group down the mountain, but she couldn't catch up with them no matter what she did.
