1088 A One-Off Meeting (1/2)
With the help of the Glassy Sky Pagoda, the dragon qilin and Yan'er quickly escaped from the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace with the six heavenly dragons. Looking back, the celestial palace was still enshrouded in the mist.
The dragon qilin and Yan'er carried the Glassy Sky Pagoda, kissing it as they skipped and danced in joy. The six heavenly dragons surrounded this number one treasure in the world, singing and dancing, looking unusually cheerful.
Suddenly, the dragon qilin stopped and said, ”We seem to be short of one… Oh no, Cult Master is still in the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace!”
Everyone looked at each other, speechless.
The six heavenly dragons repeatedly coughed as they looked around. They then started whistling.
Yan'er stamped her foot and said, ”We only thought about beating up Son of Heaven Yin and stealing things and ended up forgetting that Young Master is still in the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace. Young Master is even seriously injured and can't mobilize his consciousness. What should we do?”
The dragon qilin's expression wavered as he paced around. ”The purpose of stealing the Glassy Sky Pagoda was because Cult Master was seriously injured, and thus we needed the magic of this treasure to protect us. Now that we have this treasure, we have lost Cult Master…”
The young heavenly dragon stopped his whistling and whispered, ”Stop whistling, I'm about to pee…”
The whistling stopped.
Everybody was motionless on the celestial river. Below their feet, a big black fish in the river swam past leisurely, making a strange howl.
”Cult Master will definitely be fine.”
The dragon qilin looked in the direction of the Black Tortoise Celestial Palace and saw plenty of people running out of it and charging towards them. He immediately asserted, ”Cult Master has always been smart. All along, he has needed to take care of us instead of us taking care of him. Let's go first, surely he'll be able to take care of himself!”
Yan'er and the six heavenly dragons nodded their heads.
Everyone then left hurriedly.
”Have you given the dragon blood treasure tree to Cult Master?”
”Yep.”
”And there's a lantern on the tree?”
”Yep.”
”That's good. If things take a turn for the worse, he can still put out the lantern and return to the ghost ship.”
…
In the guest room of the Jade Capital City, Qin Mu heard some commotion outside and was a little puzzled. 'What happened? Could it be that Long Pi and Yan'er were here stealing the Glassy Sky Pagoda?'
After some time, Qin Mu said in bewilderment, ”Why are Yan'er and Long Pi still not back yet?”
After a long time, Qin Mu was finally sure. 'These fellows, after they stole the Glassy Sky Pagoda, they simply left me behind! Those two are heartless!'
He was unable to do anything to anyone now. If he ran out and was found, he would be caught as a thief and wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Prince You Ming finally woke up from his hangover and was stunned when he discovered that the Glassy Sky Pagoda was missing. He cried out, ”Who stole it?”
When he heard that the culprits were Dragon Mountain Sanren and a princess from South Deity's family, he was even more shocked and was quiet for a long time.
He finally recovered his senses and said, ”Tell our people to stop their pursuit and return to the celestial palace. Although the Glassy Sky Pagoda is a good treasure, the lives of our people are more important. We will immediately return to the North Pole. There can't be any more delays!”
As his people returned to the celestial palace, Prince You Ming stabilized his Dao heart and fully focused on driving the celestial palace along the celestial river back to the North Pole. It was just that his parents had spent their entire lives forging the Glassy Sky Pagoda. When he thought of it, he couldn't help but feel a terrible pain in his heart.
”That d*mned couple!” Prince You Ming cursed in rage.
