926 The Arrival of the Plague God (2/2)
Qin Mu returned the favor hastily. ”Please don't do this Madam, I don't deserve this!”
Both of them rose as Qin Mu smiled. ”Yun Jianli's a genius of this world. After heading down, he will definitely grow beyond your imagination. There's no need to worry, Madam.”
Mistress Yunxiao continued, ”I wish for him to revive the Yun family and restore his ancestor's achievements, but I don't want him to die. Celestial Venerable Mu, you boys always have all sorts of ambitions and ideals. I don't understand all of this. All I can do is silently support you boys. Farewell.”
Qin Mu sent her off.
The ladies of the Yun family left as well, while Yun Jianli and Yun Chuxiu stayed at the Jade Pool.
Qin Mu fell into deep thought. 'Celestial Venerable Yun left behind a case for me at Dao Ancestor's place. Is Dao Ancestor still the sloppy Daoist from the previous Jade Pool Meeting? Is he still a Dao friend of Celestial Venerable Yun? Was he lost in the power and luxury that the celestial heavens provides?'
After much thinking, he finally made up his mind.
He was going to see this old sloppy Daoist no matter what!
”To see Dao Ancestor directly via the celestial heavens' Dao Sect would be too obvious and traceable, which would likely give Dao Ancestor trouble,” Qin Mu groaned before setting up a plan.
”After the Jade Pool incident, you still dare to go outside? Are you not afraid of being beaten to death?”
Qi Jiuyi wasn't comfortable with this idea and scolded Qin Mu, ”You want to go out by yourself, leaving me, Second Brother, and Sister Yan'er to watch you die by yourself!”
The dragon qilin walked behind Qin Mu, while Yan'er morphed herself into a fat bird that stood on the dragon qilin's head, then looked back at Qi Jiuyi.
Qi Jiuyi was furious as he rushed forward angrily, refusing to speak as a solemn expression adorned his face.
Curiously, Yun Jianli looked at him and said, ”Are you not a follower of the Celestial Venerable? How can you talk to him like this?”
He didn't know that Qi Jiuyi and Qin Mu had never had an amicable relationship. The fact that they didn't fight was already giving a lot of face to Second Brother.
Yun Chuxiu gently suggested, ”Brother Jiu, it's a good thing to be out sometimes. Although the scenery of the Jade Pool is beautiful, after some time, it gets boring. You should accompany him to walk around.”
After being called Brother Jiu, Qi Jiuyi's bones became weak, his soul flew, and his heart was filled with sweetness. 'This demoness is indeed powerful, my Dao heart… Screw the Dao heart!'
Yun Jianli followed them, asking, ”Where do you intend to go, Celestial Venerable?”
Qin Mu's eyes flashed as he laughed and said, ”So many strong practitioners visited me during the Jade Pool incident. If I don't return the visits, I will be criticized as being ill-mannered.”
Yun Jianli was shocked, and Qi Jiuyi and Yan'er couldn't help but feel chills down their spines. Qin Mu was planning to visit the beings who aimed to assassinate him! How daring!
Only Yun Chuxiu wasn't afraid. Instead, she was extremely cheerful.
”Out of the strong practitioners who attacked the Jade Pool, who is the closest?” Qin Mu inquired.
Yun Jianli and Qi Jiuyi looked at each other, keeping silent. Yun Chuxiu quickly replied, ”I know, I know. The closest one to the Jade Pool is Celestial Venerable Lang, God Emperor Lang Xuan in the Lang Xuan Divine Palace. God Emperor Lang Xuan has students from around the world. His palace is also an important ground of the celestial heavens and is extremely magnificent!”
Qi Jiuyi's expression changed rapidly before he repeatedly said, ”No, we can't go to Lang Xuan Divine Palace…”
”Brother Jiu…” Yun Chuxiu blinked her beautiful sparkling eyes at him, intoxicating him with her beauty.
Qi Jiuyi was confused and, without realizing it, said, ”Alright, let's go to Lang Xuan Divine Palace.”
After they left the Jade Pool, they soon arrived at Celestial Street. The celestial heavens' market was extremely lively and was a part of the Heavenly Market. Although the celestial heavens was pretty high up, the gods weren't entirely self-sufficient since they still had to feed their large families. Hence, the market was important.
There were a lot of half-gods within Celestial Street, on top of people from many races, including humans. It was just that the half-gods outnumbered everyone else.
It was spacious, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses. Business was clearly good. However, just as Qin Mu and his gang approached, the people there suddenly stopped to look at him. It was as if time has stopped.
In the next moment, all sorts of alarms went off. Carts rolled and horses ran away as one divine beam after another flew in all directions. Celestial Street immediately became empty, with not a single soul present.
Shocked, Qin Mu looked at both sides of the street. The shops of the celestial realms had also closed shut.
A person who was five feet tall acted somewhat slowly and was thus locked out. He hammered a door loudly in desperation, crying miserably.
Qin Mu walked forward, concerned. ”Brother…”
”Save me!”
The dwarf cried uncontrollably when he saw Qin Mu approaching him. He leaned against the shop door, desiring shelter in the shop, then started begging, ”I don't want to die here!”
Qin Mu became even more shocked as the door suddenly opened. The dwarf fell into the shop before it was shut immediately. The door and windows were locked tight.
”Thanks for the rescue!”
Inside the shop, the dwarf said, ”You are akin to my second parent for rescuing me. I will never forget it!”
Within the shop, someone chided him, saying, ”You certainly are daring, not running after seeing the plague god and instead choosing to cry and almost implicating us!”
The dwarf explained, ”I was so scared that my legs became jelly, and I couldn't run…”
”Silence! If someone assassinates this pestilence, everyone on this street will be silenced!”
