Vol.2 – Chapter 56 – Young lady


The flying boat descended, and was put away by Su Huanian.

Su He felt that he also needed to get a means of transportation. Dragon Turtle flew too slowly. It took Su Huanian a day to travel from Dongyun Mountain to the Seven Extremes Secret Realm, while it took him nearly ten days.

Before Dragon Turtle could break through space for long-distance travel, its speed was a weak point.

He would have to look into it carefully to see if there were any similar divine abilities.

Su He, with his body faintly hidden by the snow, walked beside Su Huanian. It had just rained heavily here, the flood had just receded, and the stream had turned into a river flowing down the mountain.

There were refugees gathered outside the capital, and Su He had become accustomed to such scenes in the past few days.

The explosion in the Seven Extremes Secret Realm had punched a hole in the sky, causing heavy rain to pour down all around. Mortals could not see the clear sky, only experiencing the continuous heavy rain.

Fields were flooded, houses collapsed, and refugees were everywhere.

When immortals fight, mortals suffer. There’s not a single good one among the cultivators.

Everyone is concerned about themselves.

Dragon Turtle, wanting to protect its own offspring, never considered whether it would break the boundary of the mysterious heaven.

The Xuantian Sect only wanted to suppress Qingyuan, not caring about how Qingyuan Sect was doing. Qingyuan only wanted to unify Dongyun, not caring about the scattered Dongyun sects.

The various sects of Dongyun have been in chaos for thousands of years, only caring about their own prosperity, who would care about the mortals living in Dongyun Mountain?

Mortals only thought about hunting wild beasts to fill their stomachs, but they couldn’t take care of the young ones waiting to be fed in their nests.

All living beings, as long as they are alive, live on the bones of others, where is the so-called good and evil?

Morality and rules only exist among equals. If there are rules between different levels, no matter how beautiful these rules seem, their essence is inevitably bloody and naked.

Everyone has their own exploitation, everyone has their own struggle.

Su He was just a young turtle, he couldn’t manage too much. He had the ability to wave his claws to eliminate the flood, but he would inevitably leave traces, and the Teng Snake might follow the traces and catch up.

At this moment, the Xuantian Sect had already sent disciples to rescue the disaster, to eliminate the flood, and to save the mortals.

Some may have good intentions, or perhaps it’s just because mortals are the foundation of the sect. The world is like a furnace, refining thousands of situations into one, who can tell?

Why bother to distinguish!

The city gate was huge, with soldiers setting up checkpoints. Su He lightly floated up and jumped over the checkpoint.

He heard a soldier behind him shout: “The young lady in white, take off your bamboo hat and veil. Do you still want to cover your face when passing through here? Are you a wanted criminal trying to muddy the waters…”

“Slap!” An older soldier looking like an officer slapped him on the back of his head, hurriedly apologizing to Su Huanian: “This kid is brain-damaged, Fairy, please don’t take him seriously, please enter the city.”

Su Huanian went straight into the city. She heard the scolding behind her: “Who the hell introduced you here?”

“A woman dares to wander the world, do you think the sword in her hand is for show?”

The beaten guy was quite unconvinced, muttering: “Her sword is so beautiful, isn’t it obviously for show?!”

The officer who hit him was even more angry, kicking him in the butt: “You’re really tired of living. If it’s for show, you dare to be wild. Those who can use such a beautiful sword for show are either the daughters of big families out for fun, or high disciples of the sect. You really don’t know how to write the word ‘death’, do you!”

The guy was still unconvinced, still muttering something, but suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, his head hitting the bluestone brick, a patch of blood spreading out, and he passed out immediately.

The crowd was in an uproar, especially when they saw the smooth layer of ice under the guy, although it was already autumn, it was still two or three months away from freezing!

This was a case of a fool running into a nail. It was said that those martial arts masters had the ability to condense ice with their true qi.

The onlookers quickly dispersed, avoiding the city gate soldier like the plague.

Su Huanian glanced amusingly at her side. Dragon Turtle, acting like a young cub, was too far away to hear the noise at the city gate.

He was looking around, carefully examining the city, as if he had never seen such a bustling market before.

Su Huanian laughed softly. Young in age, but not small in temper. Even mere mortals were taken into account.

Snow Concealment could hide his figure, but it was a choice. As long as Su He was willing, whoever he wanted to see him, could see him, like Su Huanian.

After several days of heavy rain, the dust and noise were washed away, and the sky was just clearing, bringing joy everywhere. The ancient city, which had been sealed by the rain for several days, suddenly became lively. Everyone took advantage of the clear weather to stock up on supplies, fearing another heavy rain.

The rain had been falling too urgently these past few months.

The cries of vendors were incessant on the street.

“Sugar figures~ Blowing sugar figures!”

“Hot buns!”

“Selling daughters…”

The bustling joy inside the city contrasted sharply with the silent refugees outside.

There were cultivators resting in the city, most of them were disciples of the Xuantian Sect, passing by to control the water.

Su Huanian was walking around casually, looking for a suitable inn, when she turned her head to see Dragon Turtle somehow getting a lump of sugar paste that hadn’t been blown yet, and was trying to blow it into a sugar figure.

But Dragon Turtle, with its dragon head, was really not suitable for this job. The small hand condensed from water flow hardened the sugar paste as soon as it touched it, making it impossible to blow.

Dragon Turtle was angry, and with a roar, it bit down and swallowed the sugar paste directly.

Fairy laughed softly.

Some things can’t be done just because you have a high cultivation level.

But then she saw Dragon Turtle spit out a stream of water that condensed into ice, forming a hollow ice sculpture like a sugar figure. It was a Teng Snake. The ugly Teng Snake, when made into a small ornament, showed a bit of cuteness.Su Huanian casually handed it over. It was just a thin layer that would dissolve upon touch. Su Huanian was taken aback. She recognized the soaring snake, it was the one they had fought before.

With a light touch, she solidified the melting snake and stored it in her spatial treasure.

“Don’t randomly carve or damage the great power statue, there will be a reaction.” Su Huanian said softly.

Su He sneered, that soaring snake was nothing but a great power. To a Divine Beast, he was just a newborn cub, and that soaring snake was at most a ten-year-old naughty child.

And it was a repeater!

From hunting down the White Spirit to hunting down Su He, it had been twenty thousand years and it still only dared to hunt down cubs.

What’s the difference between a guy who has been stuck on the Dragon List for twenty thousand years and can’t make it into the top five hundred, and a fallen Divine Beast who finds a place to sleep until adulthood?

Anyway, the soaring snake matures at fifty thousand years old, and it’s almost there.

They found a dental clinic and rented a small courtyard. Su Huanian returned to her room to meditate, while Su He lay in the courtyard, once again immersing himself in the Sense Realm Palace, ceaselessly absorbing the knowledge passed down by the Dragon Turtle.

Neither of them practiced cultivation, they just adjusted their conditions.

One was at the second level of Traverse Heaven, and the other was a Divine Beast cub. If they practiced cultivation, the phenomena it would bring would be too obvious.

Late at night, the toad returned from the outside world, gave Su He a thumbs up to indicate that everything was done, and then went back into the mysterious realm.

The explosion in the Seven Extremes Secret Realm, Su He felt that even if he couldn’t blame it all on him, he couldn’t escape the blame, and it must be related to him.

The refugees in the outside world rose because of him, and the toad just went to deal with the aftermath.

Su He didn’t know how it was handled, but the next day before dawn, countless porridge sheds had been set up outside the city, and the government’s enthusiasm for disaster relief was unprecedentedly high.

Policies such as work-for-relief, sending people back to their hometowns, and exempting taxes and dividing fields were issued.

The city became even more lively.

On the fourth day, Su Huanian finally came out of her room, her aura stable, and the negative effects brought by the Thunder Pool had been initially suppressed.

The city became even more lively.

On the street, someone was running and beating a gong: “Miss Wei’s sixth marriage proposal! This time there’s no head arrow, whoever Miss Wei hits will be her son-in-law, and she won’t regret it! It’s not a marriage!”

Ding Ding Ding!

“It’s not a marriage!”

The marriage proposal site was right across the street from the small courtyard. An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl dressed as a male hero, carrying a bow and arrow, looked at the bustling crowd below the loft, her face extremely gloomy.

An old man next to her had an even gloomier face: “Today, you have to choose whether you like it or not!”

Su He tilted his head, was there really a scene of throwing an embroidered ball to choose a son-in-law?

How desperate was she to get married? Were there really such childish things in reality? There were all kinds of people under the loft, men, women, old and young, lame and crippled, and even a few exuding demon energy, who were not even human at all.

Just shoot an arrow down like this, if you aim at the right man, it’s fine, if you can’t aim, you don’t know what kind of thing you’ll marry. Is there really such a way to choose a husband in the mortal world?

It’s even less reliable than martial arts marriage proposals and catching a husband under the list!

The girl looked impatient, glanced at the shouting crowd below, her gaze swept over the small courtyard, and when she saw Su Huanian in front of the door, her eyes lit up instantly.

In an instant, she bent her bow and shot an arrow.

With a whistling sound, the arrow turned into a stream of light and shot straight at them.

Su He: “……”

Your family shoots arrows to propose marriage, using ten-stone hard work? You won’t stop until you kill the ideal man, right?

The arrow didn’t have an arrow cluster, the arrowhead was wrapped in a red cloth into a ball, but its power was extremely great.

“Not good!” The girl shot an arrow and immediately reacted. Today’s plan was to shoot whoever her father pointed at until they couldn’t take care of themselves.

But she didn’t expect to see a fairy that made her heart beat. As soon as she shot the arrow, she regretted it, jumped down, lightly stepped on the heads of the audience, turned into an afterimage and chased after the arrow.

Her skills were good! In the mortal world, she was a master.

Su Huanian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, she sidestepped, and the red-headed arrow shot into the courtyard with the girl. Su Huanian closed the door behind her, trapping the girl and her arrow in the courtyard, and said to Su He, “Let’s go, back to East Cloud.”

The soaring snake didn’t chase after them, and none of the alarms she set up along the way were triggered. The soaring snake might have died in the explosion, or it might have been too badly injured to chase after them.

“Okay!” Su He’s feet were pushed by a thin wave, and he left the city with Su Huanian and headed for the mountains.

Cultivators rarely show their Divine Abilities in the mortal world. Not to mention that countless people will pester them to become disciples and make wishes, some even directly build temples and statues, burn incense every day, and are devout to a frightening extent.

Such temples and Taoist temples will be connected to the cultivator in the dark, and all kinds of cause and effect cannot be cut off and the reason is still chaotic, so it’s better not to show up.

Su Huanian stepped out of the city.

Su He looked back and asked softly, “What about the one behind? Don’t care about her?”

That Miss Wei actually used her light work to chase after them all the way. But no matter how fast she was, Su Huanian and Su He were always faster than her, and she couldn’t catch up no matter how hard she tried.

Su Huanian shook her head lightly.

Everyone on the road thought that the woman in the straw hat was a martial arts master, and they didn’t dare to approach her easily.

In a moment, they arrived at the forest, which was the same place where the Flying Boat had landed before.

“Hey! Miss, will you marry or not?! My name is Wei Xiao, and my family is rich!” The woman shouted from afar.

Su Huanian didn’t know what she was thinking, but she didn’t shake off this girl.

Su Huanian said softly, “I owe Granny Lan from the Heavenly Star Palace a favor, and I promised to find a female disciple for her. This girl is born with a star body.”

Su He: “?”Born with a Star Constellation Dao Body, a special kind of Dao Body, and no one in the Xuantian Gate territory noticed?

He looked back, finding nothing unusual.

With his Dragon Turtle eyes, he couldn’t see anything special. How did Su Huanian spot it?

Wei Xiao landed beside Su Huanian, his breath steady, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Su Huanian. This young lady had extraordinary skills, but she didn’t use her agility to leave… Perfect!

Could she be interested in me?

“Young lady, would you marry me?” He asked seriously.

Su He: “…”

This girl has top-notch vision, but no insight!

He dispelled the snow concealment and appeared beside Su Huanian.

Wei Xiao’s serious face turned into shock frame by frame, his beautiful eyes staring straight at Su He, his pupils trembling slightly.

After a while, he finally said, “Is this… a dowry?”
