Chapter 185 - Yin, Qing, Yuan, Que (1/2)
Moments later, Shui Zian's slender stature appeared in front of Zhong Yue, his clothes were ragged and shabby, but his complexion was healthy as he strode into the templed in seemingly glowing spirits.
The sky darkened as the sun set, luminous lights were radiated out from the small temple.
"Shui Zian, this battle is sufficient for your name to infuse fear into the East Barren for another hundred years."
Old Man Ying sighed and said, "But Xiao Demon God is horrifying, isn't he? Don't you want to stay put and recuperate from your injuries?"
Zhong Yue was shocked, "Elder Shui is wounded?"
"Not a big deal, that Xiao Demon God is really something, his skill broke through my array formation and wounded me."
Shui Zian called Zhong Yue over, he clasped his hands and said, "This is not a safe place to linger around, stay any longer and the magnates will catch up to us. We need to return back to the Great Wilderness as fast as possible."
"In that case, I've repaid my debts, you and I, we are now even!"
Old Man Ying turned frigid, he said, "One more thing, my little girl Ying Nu, she wants to copulate with your little human boy to ensure the continuation of our race. Shui Zian, can you lend me this young man for two hours?"
Ying Nu let out a short scream as her countenance blushed in red, and Zhong Yue's face also turned red in shame. Old Man Ying sneered and said, "To be able to reverse open the five Yuan Shen realms, you must have a fine bloodline in you, a nice ingredient for making the next generation. Shui Zian, although you appear to ostensibly be fine, you've severely wounded Xiao Demon God and fought with eighteen priests, your wounds must not be minor either. Stay down and rest, it won't take long, just two hours, I'll take down any enemies that come for you in these two hours. You can rest at ease with me being here! After the Zhong Shan Clan member completes his business with Ying Nu, we will then walk our own paths!"
Zhong Yue was between laughter and tears, this Old Man Ying kept on unilaterally talking of mating, copulating and the continuation of his race, it was as if the old man has taken him to be a mating bull!
Moreover, it was really hard for Zhong Yue to have any feelings towards those of races other than his own, his heart would just be filled with awkwardness.
Shui Zian hesitated for a second, he gazed at Zhong Yue teasingly until Zhong Yue's face turned completely crimson red, and mumbled, "Elder Shu…."
"Don't worry, I won't sell you off. However, if I were to, you can rest assured that I'd make sure to get a good price out of it." Shui Zian said smilingly, then took a step forward and whispered to Old Man Ying by his ears; the old man nodded animatedly and relaxed his wrinkled face.
Zhong Yue and Ying Nu quickly tried to eavesdrop on the conversation but they could not hear a single voice. Clearly, the two experts had manipulated the air particles around them to prevent the contents of their conversation spreading out.
"Well then, you may leave now."
Old Man Ying's face returned back to normal, he said while smirking, "I shall not entangle you two any longer. But, don't forget what you've promised me today, if your words aren't kept, I'll personally bring Ying Nu over!"
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Shui Zian laughed and said, "Zhong Shan Clan member, let's go, we'll travel under the cover of the night!"
Zhong Yue followed him out the back of the temple. He was puzzled and after a few hundred miles of traveling, he could not hold back anymore and asked, "Elder Shui, what did you talk to Elder Ying about?"
Shui Zian answered in a warm bright smile, "I told him that we were in a hurry to leave, the longer we stayed the more danger we would be in. If the celestials were to besiege the temple and evoke the godly spirits from the other celestial temples, the Ying Zhao celestial temple alone is incapable of holding them off. But the old brat insisted you stay for the sake of the continuation of his race such that it would eventually cause him to fall out with me if I was adamant in my refusal. The one I'm afraid of is not him, but the godly spirit of the Ying Zhao race which was worshipped in this little temple. Hence, I've made him a promise to find him a better one in exchange for you, another male who has a higher bloodline than the humans, a deal which he was clearly satisfied with as you were able to see before."
Zhong Yue heaved a breath and said in relief, "I see, so long as I'm not involved."
"I told him, there is a city near the Great Wilderness, a city that goes by the name of Gu Xia; and right there, there is a dragon lord called Long Yue. One day in the future, I'll kidnap that Long Yue and send over to him to fulfill my promise."
Shui Zian smirked and said, "Old Man Ying has also heard of this young dragon named Long Yue before. He has the blood of the Xiang Dragon flowing in his body. In terms of lineage, he is no inferior to the Ying Zhao Celestial Race. Moreover, he would be a son-in-law that was kidnapped over to them, meaning that they would be able to keep him, much better than you only staying for two hours. Hence, the old fogie was more than happy to accept the deal. You see? This way, you wouldn't be involved at all."
"Ah?"
Zhong Yue was stunned, whether if it was Zhong Yue or Long Yue, they were both himself. And when Shui Zian said that he would kidnap 'Long Yue' and send over to Old Man Ying, wouldn't that be the same as sending him over?
He could not help but think that this elder from the Shui Tu Clan was doing this intentionally, he knew that Zhong Yue and Long Yue were both the same person and hence, he had deliberately made such a promise.
"Hehe, Long Yue and Zhong Yue, both of your names have a Yue, and the world knows the two of you as the Twin Yue. Also, some time before this, there was a Xiao Dragon appearing around the Shui Tu Clan in Great Wilderness, it was so naughty, ramming on my Shui Tu Clan's water stronghold quite a few times."
Shui Zian said intentionally or otherwise, "Kidnapping him and sending him over to the Ying Zhao Celestial Race as their son-in-law, I'm being too kind to him…."
A chill was sent down Zhong Yue's spin, he thought to himself, Could it be that … he has found out that I'm Long Yue and Long Yue is me?
Shui Zian then smiled, "I'm a very narrow-minded person, that little Xiao Dragon would most probably be Long Yue; and so, I'll capture him and send him to all the other celestial races to mate with. Not only the Ying Zhao, but also the Gui Shen, Shan Shen … Disciple of the Zhong Shan Clan, you don't look too well."
"I'm fine … it's nothing, I'm just a little bit worried of Elder Shui's safety after seeing you battling with so many experts." Zhong Yue said insincerely.
