Chapter 252.2: Cerulean Mountain (1/2)

Baili Yu went to check the surroundings and only came back after he ascertained that there was nothing out of the ordinary. Then, he lifted Tang Doudou in a princess carry and brought her onto the sandy shore.

The feeling of finally being on solid ground again was indescribably delightful.

“This is Cerulean Mountain?” After she gained a steady footing, she started sizing up this island that was named Cerulean Mountain. “No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem to be a place that the Seven Great Saint Tribes would be staying in!”

Baili Yu walked up and tapped her nose. “Let’s go.”

Then he started heading into the island.

Tang Doudou once again turned back to look at that sea dragon. For some reason, a strange feeling had floated up when that sea dragon glanced at her. She felt as if she had seen the sea dragon before.

However, when she glanced back this time, the sea dragon was already gone and the surface of the sea was once again tranquil as if nothing had ever happened.

Tch. Forget it. If it was gone, then it was gone!

Tang Doudou was just about to retrieve her gaze when she saw that there was a little black dot in the distance. It seemed to be a boat.

“Baili Yu, Baili Yu!” She chased after Baili Yu. “Look over there, isn’t that a boat?”

Baili Yu didn’t have to look back to know that she was talking about Nangong Yan’s boat.

“It’s Nangong Yan.”

“Hah?”

“Wind Cloud Island isn’t far from Cerulean Island, but Wind Cloud Island prohibits their disciples from getting within one hundred meters in the range of Cerulean Island.” Baili Yu reached out and pulled Tang Doudou into his arms again. “I’m afraid that her motives in coming here probably aren’t simple.”

“She couldn’t be aiming towards you again, right!?” Tang Doudou had really wanted to say that Nangong Yan was aiming for her, but she already blurt out her first thought before her second could fully form.

Baili Yu lightly rubbed his chin on her forehead. “Wife looks so cute when she’s jealous.”

Tang Doudou reached up and softly slapped his face. Then she stepped backward onto a rock and said, “Young fellow Baili, you’d best behave! Otherwise, this lady will make you regret it!”

Baili Yu smiled gently, completely unconcerned about her threat. He reached out and tugged again, then lifted her onto his shoulder and started walking forward with quick steps.

Not walking saved energy, so Tang Doudou stayed on Baili Yu’s shoulder and enjoyed the break.

She looked at the surrounding trees that seemed to be tall enough to reach the sky and the bits of moonlight that spilled down. She suddenly realized that Baili Yu seemed very familiar with this place, so she asked, “Big evil spirit, you’ve been here before?”

“I’ve probably already gone to all the places that needed to be visited in the world these past years while investigating Madam Qin and the Hoarfrost Poison,” replied Baili Yu.

When he brought up the Hoarfrost Poison, Tang Doudou immediately latched onto the topic. “What exactly is with the Hoarfrost Poison?”

Baili Yu froze for a moment before he continued walking. “Back then I was still a child. How could I know what it was?”

“You know that I’ve read that medicinal book?”

“You and Tian Weishi were talking about it every day. Even if I didn’t want to eavesdrop, it’d be difficult.”
