Chapter 48 (1/2)
Three months later, above the Crystal Palace deep in the East Ocean…
After a series of matters—the young dragon rebelling, his mother pleading for him, and his father ordering a thorough investigation—a fish spirit, who was a musician teaching the prince in the ocean, became a scapegoat. The fish spirit had been cut into pieces on the spot and put between scallions, ginger, vinegar, and garlic…
It was unfortunate and lamentable.
During the Primordial Times, there was no wasabi, and the way of sas.h.i.+mi had yet to be perfected.
Presently, the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace, Ao Yi, was tied to a huge immortal cowrie s.h.i.+p, which was speeding to the border between the South Ocean and the East Ocean.
Besides Ao Yi, there were only a few flood dragon troops and a Turtle Immortal with white eyebrows and beard on the s.h.i.+p.
This Turtle Immortal, who had retired a long time ago, sat beside Ao Yi and was trying to persuade him with deep sighs.
“Your Majesty, how did you get involved with the tiny Immortal Du Sect?
“What virtues and capabilities do they have? Even if His Majesty let you become a disciple there, he would not dare to take you in either.
“You have to think of His Majesty too. He is now holding his ground amid the opinions of the ma.s.ses, and suppressing all the voices so that you can go and become a disciple of a Saint!
“This time, I will take you to become a disciple under the great immortal of the Three Saints of that Dao Sect, the Black Cloud Immortal.
“Although this great immortal does not have a high reputation, he is ranked first among the seven immortals in the Jie School and is thought highly of by the Three Saints of the Dao Sect. He only has one golden turtle, who comes from the same race as me, as his disciple. Back then, we had some friendly relations too.
“Your Majesty, this is going according to your wishes.
“Don’t create any more big trouble!”
Ao Yi turned his head to look at one side, still looking unresigned.
However, he was only 10 years old, after all. Even though he had received many years of ‘egg education’, he had truly been born for 10 years.
The old turtle kept persuading him at the side, and Ao Yi gradually hesitated.
“Does this great immortal have any methods to become a Saint?”
“That is for sure!”
The Turtle Immortal seized the opportunity and started telling Ao Yi about how impressive this great immortal was, and how the Grandmaster of Heaven liked him. However, he was rather low-profile and did not reveal his talents outside.
Soon, the Turtle Immortal sighed and sent a voice transmission to Ao Yi.
“Your Majesty, I can see what you’re trying to do. However, this isn’t as simple as you think it is. You will not obtain a good outcome by just tormenting yourself.
“Flaunting is just like a dream. It becomes frozen after you wake up from the dream. n.o.body is willing to wake up from it.
“You have to empathize with His Majesty. He is the person sitting at the highest seat in the dragon race, so he cannot do anything easily. Otherwise, the place will be in danger.”
Ao Yi pondered and then gradually nodded his head.
‘In short, I can now roam around the huge Primordial World at will outside the Dragon Palace.’
To become a disciple of the great immortal, he still had to rely on his status as the prince of the Dragon Palace. How could he get rid of the embarra.s.sment of the Dragon Palace?
Which of the few other disciples of the Dragon Palace could become a disciple of a great immortal?
What he needed to search was the way out for the dragon race, and not the way out for himself, the Second Prince of the East Ocean’s Dragon Palace!
He had to first secure this Turtle immortal. He would talk about any other things someday in the future.
In the roaring ocean breeze, Ao Yi gradually revealed a smile on his face, showing the ‘innocence’ that was just like his own age. That Turtle Immortal was gradually relieved.
…
Deep in the dense forest of the Heaven-Breaking Peak in the Immortal Du Sect at the Nine Jiu Immortals’ cultivation ground.
Jiu Jiu’s huge gourd drifted over from the Little Qiong Peak’s direction. As if she had no energy, she walked back to her own house in a crestfallen manner. She slowly sat down on the wooden steps in front of the house and slowly leaned down.
She lay down softly, just like a melting clay figurine, hugging her gourd and lying there for a long while.
“I’m so bored. It has only been three months since Little Shoushou entered seclusion. Why do I feel that it seems more than three years? n.o.body is playing with me…”
“Even Senior Sister is accompanied by Senior Brother, while he goes to accompany someone else.
“After Big Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Sister and Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Sister and Seventh Senior Brother, it should be time for Eighth Senior Brother to be with Ninth Junior Sister. I didn’t expect Eighth Senior Brother to follow in Third Senior Sister’s steps and go out of the Heaven-Breaking Peak…
“As the Ninth Junior Sister with a bitter fate, I have to be lonely without anyone accompanying me…
“I’m even Master’s final disciple. Ugh…”
The windows of the house next door were pushed open, looking radiant. Jiu s.h.i.+, who had seemed to be hundreds of years younger recently, looked over at this side. After hearing Jiu Jiu harping on something, she could not help laughing.
Jiu s.h.i.+ drifted out from the window, wearing a rainbow-colored dress like a fairy in a painting, and landed beside Jiu Jiu. She sat on the wooden steps and pinched Jiu Jiu’s nose.
“Senior Sister.” Jiu Jiu hugged Jiu s.h.i.+ and closed her eyes before she howled in grief, “Accompany me to the Little Qiong Peak! I want to play Fight the Great G.o.d! I want to play Immortal Life Simulation!”
Jiu s.h.i.+ suddenly laughed softly and patted her little junior sister’s head. “Foolish Junior Sister, how can I go to the Little Qiong Peak?”
“Huh? Why not, Senior Sister?”
“Won’t you feel embarra.s.sed if I go there?”
“What should I be embarra.s.sed about?”
Jiu Jiu cranked her head. “Fourth Senior Sister, did you misunderstand something? I’m just having an aunt-nephew relations.h.i.+p with Little Shoushou.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Jiu s.h.i.+ smiled with her eyes full of aggression.
Jiu Jiu could not help but blink and shrink her neck. “Isn’t… that so?”
“Right. A martial aunt and martial nephew perform alchemy and set up array formations every day, are with each other for the whole day, and are very intimate.”
“What intimate! He is sick!”
Jiu s.h.i.+ froze and quickly asked, “What illness does he have? Martial Nephew Changshou has an unmentionable disease? That is a huge problem.”
“It’s not an unmentionable disease. Little Shoushou cannot be touched by any woman besides his junior sister. Otherwise, he would twitch all over.”
Jiu Jiu said with a smile, “He watched his junior sister grow up, so he is fine with her. He’s also fine with me if it’s just touching fists or high-five.”
Jiu s.h.i.+ hugged her arms and muttered to herself before suddenly saying, “How did this illness come about? Can you tell me in detail?”
“When I brought Little Shoushou to the North Continent the last time…”
A moment later, Jiu s.h.i.+ hugged her Ninth Junior Sister and laughed. She said something to Jiu Jiu, which made the latter be at a loss. Then, she could not help but rest her forehead on her hand.
“This brat actually dared to deceive me!”
“Calm down, Little Jiu. Such a man who preserves his chast.i.ty is a treasure rarely seen in the world. Don’t miss the opportunity.”
Jiu Jiu was suddenly embarra.s.sed and stamped her feet in anger. “Senior Sister, what are you talking about! How I can be with him!
“Oh my, I’m going back to seclusion!”
“Aren’t you going to be a guard at the Priming Meet after a few days?”
“Oh, that’s right… Can’t I enter seclusion for a few days?”
Jiu Jiu got away and went to her house. Jiu s.h.i.+ laughed softly and drifted after her.
“Little Jiu, you don’t have to be shy in front of me. I’ll teach you how to dress and apply makeup first…”
“Eh, I don’t want to.”
“Come on! Let me have a look at your current figure.”
