“Madam, rest assured. My friends and I are here only to take what we are owed. We do not intend to shed blood needlessly. We are all honorable people!”
Feng Qing’an gently gripped Nü Luo’s wrist. Ever since she immersed herself in the water, the goddess seemed to have become tense and unusually silent, a stark contrast to her lively and spirited demeanor on land.
“If the gentleman is truly just, I am willing to lead the way for you!”
Snake Madam secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she remained on guard.
Before she became a powerful demon, she had witnessed too much deceit and cunning. Although the young man’s smile was warm, he could draw his sword in the next instant, slaying both her and her son without hesitation.
“Lead the way!”
Feng Qing’an motioned with his chin, while Black Mountain behind him showed a pondering look in his deep azure eyes.
His master said not to kill, but he didn’t prohibit him from doing so. Plus, hunting for food is a natural part of life and couldn’t be considered as killing!
‘Yes!”
Snake Madam responded softly, and gently pressed her palm to her son’s cheek, suppressing all his non-human characteristics and letting him revert back to the innocent boy.
Inside the Water Mansion, the most powerful demon had submitted. The rest of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were of no consequence, as the strongest of them had already been led away by Hongxi, their souls taken by a mysterious deity who did not wish to reveal his name.
“Are you so sure about this snake demon? Aren’t you afraid she will resort to tricks and schemes?”
Nü Luo looked at Feng Qing’an, who was about to walk into the Water Mansion with Snake Madam, and reminded him.
“She is only thirty yards from me. At this distance, I can kill her with a single sword stroke. What is there to fear?”
Feng Qing’an laughed unabashedly. The Snake Madam, who had turned around and was ready to lead the way, trembled slightly at his words. Her delicately beautiful face portrayed her unhidden intention to please him.
“Lady Nü Luo, you jest. How dare I harbor ill intentions towards you?”
As the wife of the Water Lord, Snake Madam certainly recognised the Mountain god of Wuling. Having seen the Mountain god herself, there was no room in her heart for any resistance all she could do now was to hold onto the hope of their mercy, praying they would spare her and her son.
“Please, follow me!”
Passing through the vast palace, bypassing pavilions and towers, the sinuously moving Snake Madam soon led Feng Qing’an and Nü Luo to an unassuming chamber.
“This is where my husband hides his treasure!”
Having said this, the wise Madam formed complex seals with both hands, slowly opening the grand door of the chamber silently. An overwhelming surge of Spiritual Qi flooded out, stirring up a storm of spiritual energy.
“Everything here was hidden by my husband. I have not taken a single item. I beg you to spare my son and me!”
Just as the tidal wave of Spiritual Qi burst forth, Snake Madam, who had been docilely leading the way with her son, transformed into a wisp of water vapor and merged with the tidal wave of energy , fleeing the Water Mansion towards the distance.
“Black Mountain, did you get their scent?”
Looking at the fleeing Snake Madam, Feng Qing’an chuckled and turned to Black Mountain, who was showing clear eagerness in his eyes.
Howl-
The eyes of the Ghost Wolf shone with a bloodthirsty glint.
“What are you waiting for? Go reunite the Water Lord’s family!”
Feng Qing’an stretched out his hand, pulling out a Golden Scaled Flood Dragon from his collar and threw it onto Black Mountain. He too threw his divine weapon into the air, allowing it to transform into a divine radiance and enter the dragon’s mouth. “Off you go!”
“Master, what about me?
Bai Yao stepped forward slightly, her eyes questioning.
She didn’t think Feng Qing’an was doing anything wrong. After all, he had been attacked by the Water Lord. It was righteous for him to counter-attack and eradicate the threat. Besides, anyone could tell the young dragon was no kind-hearted character.
“If you want to go, then go! If you can’t defeat them, just stall them. I’ll be right behind you!”
The two wolves, one black one white, instantly received their orders and transformed into their true forms, rushing out of the Water Mansion. The Golden Scaled Flood Dragon that was coiled around Black Mountain controlled the underwater currents, ensuring they would not interfere with the wolves’ progress through the water.
“You’re underestimating that snake demon!”
Seeing Feng Qing’an deploying all the spirit beasts under his command, and even throwing out a Jiaolong that appeared to be extraordinary, Nü Luo
couldn’t help but comment.
Although in Nü Luo’s perception, their strength wasn’t strong, not yet reaching the level that could compete with the powerful demons, it was just that their power hadn’t reached that level yet.
Not to mention the pair of wolves, merely the divine weapon swallowed by the Jiaolong, even if it could only strike once, if it hit, could severely injure the snake spirit, hitting the vital points, there’s a chance it could send her directly to the cycle of reincarnation.
“Safety above all things!”
Feng Qing’an laughed, then took the lead in walking into the treasury where the spiritual Qi was already quite stable. He squinted when he casually glanced at it, the diversified glow of spirituality was too dazzling. After he got used to it, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
“Today, I truly appreciate the affluence of the Dragon Palace!”
Nü Luo, who was following behind Feng Qing’an, shared his thoughts at that moment. This goddess, who was not in high spirits after entering the water, was now grinning so wide her eyes turned crescent, her aura immediately became lively and active.
“Haha, Feng Qing’an, it’s not too late for you to regret!”
“I have nothing to regret, whatever you like, you can just take!”
Feng Qing’an meticulously looked at everything in this treasury. Apart from myriad shining magical weapons, there were also many aquatic spirit plants and spirit fruits, with a wide variety of types, particularly abundant.
But what were in the greatest number were the random piles of pearls of all sizes, and a light blue sandstone of irregular shape that almost filled half of the treasury. They hardly held any spiritual essence, but the spiritual Qi they contained was extraordinary, which was the source of the spiritual tide triggered by opening the door.
“While these seem decent, they don’t catch my fancy!”
Nü Luo glanced and said. If any ordinary cultivator were here, they would’ve jumped for joy and got out of control already.
But Feng Qing’an had already set his sights too high, and the latter, as a mountain god, also had the possession of a mountain range. Just because she dressed simply did not mean she was poorer than this water king. She just hadn’t looted her riches.
“This is quite good!”
Feng Qing’an picked up a thumb-sized light blue sandstone at his feet and played with it for a moment before crushing it lightly. The rich water aura suddenly burst from his hand, but he clenched it into a ball of water imbued with a vibrant spiritual glow.
“Water-attribute Spirit Sand, there are probably as much as three thousand kilos here, if you take them, you can purchase whatever you see in the market built by cultivators in the future!”
Seeing Feng Qing’an’s action, Nü Luo laughed.
“Is this the currency of the cultivators?”
Feng Qing’an seemed thoughtful. It was not surprising that this kind of sandstone, rich in spiritual power, could be used for circulation and trade because it had value in itself.
“You could say that!”
“Then can these pearls also be used as spirit sand?”
Feng Qing’an picked up another pearl from the ground, similar to the one that the Water King had given him, but much smaller.
“Their value would be higher, but now I understand why Hongxi met his tragic
fate. ”
“Hmm?”
Feng Qing’an was a bit puzzled.
“Spirit sand can be mined from the spiritual veins. As long as it’s regulated, the spiritual veins won’t decline and the sandstones won’t be exhausted. However, these spiritual pearls are clearly condensed by the clams of Bailang River.
As the Water King, it’s one thing not to protect his subjects, but his exploitation and stripping of their spiritual essence, depriving the water clan of their opportunities, deserved this retribution.”
“So, I am Hongxi’s retribution?”
Feng Qing’an laughed.
“Exactly!”
“No, that’s not right, I’m just one part of his retribution!”
Feng Qing’an, who was paying partial attention to Snake Madam on Black Mountain while chasing her, now had a curious look on his face.
“What?”
Now, it was Nü Luo’s turn to be puzzled..
