Chapter 1834 - Deep Sea Crisis (9) (1/2)
Cang Shitian went to fulfill his orders, and he left a bunch of hapless Sea Gods and divine envoys in his wake.
All of them immediately exchanged glances when he left and one of the Sea Gods finally spoke out in a hushed voice, “What do we do?”
The Overflowing Waters Sea God currently lay in a puddle of his own blood right in front of them. He was barely even alive and half of his body was currently buried in the ground.
The Sea God power in his body had already been forcibly retrieved, and he was currently in such a weakened state that he didn’t even have the power to get to his own feet.
Given Cang Shitian’s current state of extreme madness, no one would dare to save the Overflowing Waters Sea God without Cang Shitian’s explicit command. If not, they might very well suffer the same fate as he did.
“What else can we do?” Another Sea God replied with a helpless sigh. After that, he clenched his teeth and hissed, “Do we even have another choice?”
Of course they didn’t.
Chi Wuyao’s steps were slow and measured and her fair face was calm and composed. However, her eyes unwittingly drifted towards the direction of the royal hall… She really wanted to go take a look at the Eternal Heaven Pearl that Yun Che was in right now, but it was not meant to be.
Even though it was covered by seven isolating barriers, the enemy at their gate was the Dragon Monarch, his powerful servants, and the gathered god emperors of the west. The moment their attention was drawn toward that hall, it was more than possible that they would be able to detect the Eternal Heaven Pearl.
Qianye Ying’er’s golden hair danced in the air as she arrived at Chi Wuyao’s side. When she looked at Chi Wuyao’s face, she saw a grim look of gloomy melancholy plastered on it, a look that was all-too-rare.
“Do we have any other moves after this?” she asked.
“We still have a very small one,” Chi Wuyao replied, “but it probably won’t even be able to make any difference. In the end, everything depends on that miracle occurring.”
After that, the two of them remained silent for a very long time.
Previously, all of them had wanted to dampen the raging fire in Yun Che’s heart, so that he wouldn’t pursue his revenge at all costs and continuously put his life on the line in that undertaking. However, they were now fervently hoping that he would leave the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm early because of that trademark impatience and impulsiveness of his.
A gentle and fragrant breeze brushed past them as Caizhi’s delicate figure landed in front of the two women. After that, she raised her head to look at Chi Wuyao before asking in a very sincere voice, “How did you do it?”
A faint smile appeared on Chi Wuyao’s face. “The circumstances behind the current situation are very complicated and it’ll be hard to explain everything to you in the short time that we have. Furthermore, you’re still small, so it would be better if you didn’t delve too deeply into this matter.”
Chi Wuyao immediately realized that she had made a mistake. After a short pause, she said, “When I said small, I meant your age.”
“...If you don’t want to tell me, then forget it!” Caizhi turned away from them and prepared to leave.
Qianye Ying’er suddenly spoke in a cold voice, “Your beloved husband slept with someone’s Dragon Queen, and he did it in the Dragon God Realm, for one whole year. It’s that simple.”
“...!!?” Caizhi’s starry eyes widened as she fell into a stunned silence.
“Hmph!” Qianye Ying’er gave a soft snort of disdain. “Just as expected, the more holy and pure a woman looks, the more likely she is to be a slut.”
Her words were filled with barely contained venom. She could still overlook the part that Yun Che had to play in the desperate straits they currently found themselves in, but she had no qualms about blaming that “Dragon Queen”!
Caizhi turned to stare at her coldly. “That’s still nothing compared to the so-called Goddess who has been violated more than six thousand times.”
“...” Qianye Ying’er’s golden eyes narrowed as she said, “Oh? It seems like you’ve improved.”
“Can the two of you give it a rest for now, especially during a time like this?” Chi Wuyao said as she pressed her fingers against her temples. She explained to Caizhi, “Long Bai did not forcefully conscript all of the Divine Masters of the Western Divine Region’s king realms, awaken the Venerable Withered Dragons, and activate the World Dragon City to eliminate the devils of the north in one fell swoop. His main motive is to vent his hatred and jealousy on Yun Che.”
“As such, we aroused that deep-seated hatred and jealousy to the point where he nearly lost control of himself, and told him that Yun Che would return in about ten to twelve hours time. As a result, he will obediently wait until that time has passed… After all, if he can’t rip us to shreds in front of Yun Che, the joy he will derive from venting his hatred will be greatly reduced.”
Caizhi’s chest violently heaved for a while before her body finally stiffened and she asked, “Why didn’t you add more hours to that?”
“Going beyond the limits of plausibility is worse than falling short,” Qianye Ying’er replied.
“I don’t recall asking you a question!” Caizhi coldly rebuked her.
“(ˉ▽￣～)... Tsk~” Qianye Ying’er pouted.
Chi Wuyao calmly replied, “A day has twenty-hour hours, and twelve hours is exactly half that number. It is a balanced number that will unconsciously seem reasonable to anyone who hears it. Even though it isn’t a short period of time, it’s something that everyone can easily swallow. If we tried to be greedy, we might very well elicit the opposite of the response we were hoping for.”
“???” Caizhi didn’t understand that explanation at all.
“Caizhi,” Chi Wuyao said in a gentle voice, “Twelve hours from now, a fierce battle will definitely begin. At that time, we will need to rely heavily on the Dragons of Absolute Beginning.”
“You don’t need to remind me,” Caizhi said. Even though this was tantamount to sending the Dragons of Absolute Beginning to their deaths, the desperate straits that they found themselves in brooked no soft-heartedness.
“However, I have a request that the both of you must agree to.”
“Oh?” Chi Wuyao said as she looked at her.
“You must leave Zhou Xuzi… to me!”
Her grim voice and cold eyes contained a determination that could not be overruled along with a bone-piercing hatred.
“Okay,” Chi Wuyao said with a small nod of her head.

ROAAAAAAR!!
A dragon’s cry shook the air as purple light vanished. It was almost as if the huge and boundless Eternal Heaven Divine Realm had just endured a gigantic calamity. Every inch of space inside of this realm was shaking violently and this continued unabated for a very long time.
“You did it! Big Brother Yun Che, you did it!”
A girl’s delighted voice rang in the air like heavenly music as Shui Meiyin threw herself at Yun Che in glee. Two long and lustrous white legs circled around his waist as a pair of jade arms hugged his neck tightly. She was so happy that she was unwilling to let go.
“Whew——”
After Yun Che let out a long breath, he opened his eyes. He didn’t care about the sweat that covered his body and face and the smile he wore was the brightest it had been since he had entered the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm.
He had done it! He had finally done it!
If he had tried to do this before he entered the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, he would definitely have had to pay for it with his life. But today, he could finally use it for the first time without its burden exceeding the limits of his soul
He had only used two years to accomplish it.
This was great news. If things were like this...
He wrapped both arms around Shui Meiyin’s slender waist as he closed his eyes in satisfaction. “This is all thanks to you. If you weren’t around, I wouldn’t be able to accomplish this even if I had a hundred years.”
“As if! Big Brother Yun Che is the awesome one. And, and... I’ve always belonged to you in the first place.” Shui Meiyin’s voice turned soft and cottony, and clouds of red stained her face and her neck.
“Ah!”
She cried out softly in shock as Yun Che suddenly pressed her to the ground.
A lascivious grin appeared on Yun Che’s face as he stared at her like a hungry wolf. “Then how should I thank my little Meiyin?”
Shui Meiyin stuck out her tongue at him as she replied in a coquettish voice, “You know, you’re even more like a bad guy during times like these than you are as the big bad Devil Master of darkness!”
“I’ve always been a bad guy!” Yun Che’s expression and gaze were growing lewder by the second. “Furthermore, I’m much badder than you’ve ever imagined… and you’re about to find out right now.”
As his upper body pressed down toward her, his violent movements caused the fist-sized tri-colored Glazed Sound Stone to gently smack against Shui Meiyin’s lustrous crescent-shaped collarbone before it bounced back and hit Yun Che in the jaw.
“Daddy! You must control your lower self!”
Yun Wuxin’s childish voice rang in their ears, causing Yun Che, who was just about to act with his lower half, to freeze in place.
Shui Meiyin pressed a tiny hand against her mouth as a “pfffft” escaped her lips.
Yun Che picked up the fist-sized Glazed Sound Stone and stared at it dazedly for a long while.
“What’s wrong, Big Brother Yun Che?” Shui Meiyin timidly asked him in a soft voice.
“Eh…” Yun Che didn’t know why he felt embarrassment burning on his face as he replied, “I suddenly recalled something… very important.”
“Something very important?”
“That’s… That’s…” Yun Che actually blushed as his lips twitched several times. After that, he finally managed to say, “Back when we met in the Eternal Heaven God Realm for the first time, you were fifteen years old. In truth… you’re actually only four years older than Wuxin.”
