Chapter 53: Stopping Water and Traveling Together (Part 1)

  The reason why Zhi Shui Dao joined was that every time Piao Miao Dao went out on a journey, she would accompany him, and this time was no exception. Her most legitimate reason was that Hai Long's current cultivation could not protect Piao Miao, while she possessed the powerful magical artifact Qi Tian Lun, and her cultivation was much deeper than Hai Long's. Originally, Hai Long was strongly opposed to it. However, in order to have another beautiful woman join them, Hong Zhi and Xiao Jing Ling both voted in favor, while Piao Miao abstained from voting as she did not want to offend either side. In the end, with two votes in favor, one against, and one abstention, Zhi Shui successfully joined the team, leaving Hai Long helpless and having no choice but to endure it painfully.

  Tianhuang Mountain, after the ravages of the immortal beasts, had long since lost its original appearance. More than 50% of the vegetation on the mountain was destroyed, and the ring around the summit and Tianhuang Lake was completely flattened. When the dragon and his companions left at dawn, this place had become a desolate wasteland filled with deathly silence. According to the records of Li Tang's later generations, this disaster was called - Heavenly Fire Tribulation.

  Hailong furrowed his brow and looked gloomy, flying with Hongzhi and Xiao Jiling in front. Among the three, Hongzhi's cultivation was the highest. Unlike the Buddhist cultivators of the Fanxin Sect, he didn't use a Buddha Cloud to fly, but instead used a Buddha Lotus. On top of the massive five-meter-wide Buddha Lotus, Xiao Jiling and Hailong sat together. Since they set out on their journey, Hailong hadn't said a single word. Behind the Buddha Lotus was the Azure Spirit Cloud of Piaoyu Daozun, where Zhi Shui had taken Hailong's place and chatted with Piaoyu about something. They didn't have any special destination in mind for this trip, they were just flying southeast.

  "Hey, I'm talking to you, Sea Dragon. How did you become mute? Don't you feel suffocated?" Little Smartmouth said. Sea Dragon glanced at him and said, "Don't bother me, I'm annoyed. You call yourselves brothers, but all you do is harm us." Hongzhi turned his head and chuckled, "Come on, big brother, don't be angry. We'll bring a beautiful woman along, isn't that creating an opportunity for you? Maybe you can get another pretty wife!"

  "Old lady? Whoever marries her will be cursed for eight lifetimes, you want to go ahead and try? I don't even want the money. A woman like her can only be a cheap mistress." Little Machine Spirit made a silencing gesture with his hand and said, "Boss, can you please keep your voice down? You know how proud Starseeker is, if she hears what you just said, she'll really blow up. Your words are too venomous, aren't they? She was only a bit harsh to you back then, but you're still holding a grudge."

  "I'm just vengeful. You haven't experienced that taste, when I first left the mountain with Piaomiao and Zhi Shui, my cultivation was only at the initial stage of Fow Tiger. At that time, on the road, I just said a few words from my heart, but Zhi Shui used the forbidden method to make me suffer unbearably. This grudge, I have never forgotten. My heart is very heavy, if someone treats me with kindness, I will remember it and definitely return it tenfold. If there's a grudge, I'll remember it even more deeply and repay it ten times over on the person who wronged me. Zhi Shui, wait for it, one day I'll make you beg for mercy from me."

  Hong Zhi said with some concern, "Boss, don't be too serious, being too obsessed with hatred might affect your cultivation." Hai Long slightly angrily said, "It's all because of you guys, insisting on letting Zhi Shui follow us, now I and Piao Yu can't even be together. With her around, shining brighter than the sun, what am I supposed to do? I'm so pitiful!"

  Xiao Jingling pretended to faint, "Hailong, you don't have to be so anxious either. Enduring for two days won't hurt. A wife is like that, being together every day is not interesting, having some intervals is better."

  Hai Long raised an eyebrow and said, "Little Smart, you seem to understand this very well. Have you had romantic experiences before?" Little Smart puffed out his chest and said, "In this regard, I'm afraid no human can compare with me. If I remember correctly, up until now, I've already had 863 wives." Seeing Hai Long's shocked expression, Little Smart continued, "Don't be skeptical. In the Monkey Forest of Moyun Peak, I am the supreme ruler, and those female monkeys would die to curry favor with me. At first, most of those wives died, but over these few hundred years, every female monkey that has had a relationship with me, I have given some spiritual energy to. Now, at least 400 of my wives are still alive, and next time we go to the Monkey Forest, I'll introduce them to you."

  Hailong stared at Xiaojiling in shock, turning to Hongzhi and saying: "Xiao Zhi, this isn't true, is it?" Hongzhi smiled and said: "It's really true, you don't know that Xiaojiling is very broad-minded."

  Without warning, the dragon king slapped the little clever head with a loud slap and said: "Damn it, I didn't expect that without watching you, you actually became a perverted monkey, messing up several hundred wives."

  The little demon was furious and wanted to counterattack, but was blocked by the seal of the divine power laid down by the sea dragon. "You're a dead sea dragon, you're a lecherous monkey, hit my head again, I'll fight you to the death."

  "Hai Long chuckled and said: 'I wouldn't dare compete with you, it's not worth winning against you. But to be honest, when it comes to finding a wife, I'm far inferior to you.'"

  At this time, a faint voice came over, "Dragon, we have now entered the territory of Zhao Song. There seems to be a large city ahead, do you want to go down and take a look?"

  The dragon's spirit was stirred, and he said, "Good! Let's go take a look." Only when they landed on the ground could he be with Xiao Yu together, so naturally he raised both hands and feet in approval. Under the urging of his magic power, the five people floated down to a small hill not far from the city of Zhao Song. As soon as his magic power was retracted, the dragon rushed to Xiao Yu's side, grabbed her hand, and although they had only been separated for a few hours, he felt as if he had left Xiao Yu for a long time. Feeling the dragon's deep emotions, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile slightly, turned around and grasped his palm tightly, and asked with concern: "Have you recovered your magic power?" The dragon nodded, now his eyes only had Xiao Yu in them, and he didn't care about anything else. Holding that soft and boneless small hand, his empty heart suddenly became full.

  Zhi Shui grunted and said, "Although she was somewhat dissatisfied, after all, they were husband and wife, and she had no choice but to say, 'Let's go, you two can stop being affectionate for now, we'll talk about it when we get into the city.'"

  Hailong didn't even glance at Zhi Shui, and instead wrapped his arm around Piaomiao and headed towards the other side of the slope. Zhi Shui stomped her foot in anger and hurried to catch up, slapping Hailong's hand away and saying, "Don't think you can monopolize my senior sister."

  "Hai Long angrily said: 'What's called occupying? Piao Miao is my wife, we are together is the most rightful, you're the one who's occupying.' Zhi Shui's eyes flashed with cold light, scolding: 'Do you want to ask for a beating or what?'"

  "Hai Long snorted coldly: 'I've tolerated you for a long time, if we're going to fight then let's fight. Are you saying I'm afraid of you? You only have that broken plate, right? Come on, let's see if my Thousand Jin Staff can shatter your precious plate.'"

  She was startled by the sight of the two men with their swords drawn and hastily intervened, standing in front of Hailong: "We're all on the same side, don't make a fuss. Let's go into the city first and talk later. Come, Shīmèi, let's go together." As she spoke, she took Hailong's hand with one hand and linked her other arm through Zhitōu's, heading towards the large city in front of them. Hongzhi and Xiaojīlíng gathered around Hailong, who saw that they were constantly exchanging sly smiles. He was indeed helpless now - in terms of strength, he couldn't possibly defeat Zhitōu, who had already reached the mysterious middle stage. For now, he could only take things one step at a time and wait for an opportunity to get rid of that "plague god".

  Tianbo City, a medium-sized city in the Zhao Song State, had walls about twenty meters high. The city gate was open, and a drawbridge connected the two banks of the moat. Passersby were subject to simple checks by soldiers. When the five members of the Sea Dragon group arrived at the gate, they saw many people being inspected. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, mainly because Xiao Jingling was not easy to pass through, but with his current cultivation level, he could use the Phantom Technique to transform into a human, so Ha Long wasn't too worried. After a while, the crowd in front was released one by one, and finally it was their turn. Ha Long stepped forward first, wearing the most ordinary gray robe of the Lianyun Sect. All his usual items and treasures were stored in the Qiankun Ring, leaving no room for suspicion, so he passed through easily. The soldiers seemed to be very respectful towards monks, and Hongzhi was almost not checked before being released second. Xiao Jingling was indeed clever, transforming into an old man who coughed constantly, making the soldiers fear they would catch something from him, and they reluctantly let him pass. Just as Ha Long breathed a sigh of relief, thinking nothing would happen, the soldiers began to inspect Zhi Shui.

  Stop Water asked for a similar bamboo hat to cover her beauty, but her curvaceous figure caused trouble. The soldier inspecting her was clearly a lecherous fellow, staring at Stop Water's chest with a sly smile and saying, "What's this bulge? Is it contraband? Let me check." He reached out to touch her chest. Just as the soldier was about to grab her, Dragon King noticed that Stop Water's figure was actually so voluptuous, he had never paid attention to this before. Seeing Stop Water about to be humiliated, Dragon King felt a strange sense of pleasure and didn't stop it, just watching with a smile. A cold killing intent emanated from Stop Water, and the soldier let out a blood-curdling scream, clutching his hand as he fell to the side, his right hand dangling limply from his arm, clearly broken. This was Stop Water; if Magic Sect's Ye Wu were humiliated here today, these soldiers would likely be turned into pulp.

  Seeing their companion get hurt, the other soldiers suddenly became furious. Twenty or so people quickly surrounded the five members of the Sea Dragon team in the center, with shiny long guns pointing at them. The leader of the squad angrily shouted: "Who are you, daring to run wild in my Tianbo City?" Zhi Shui coldly said: "Cutting off one of his hands is already a bargain for him. While I'm still not angry, get out of here, otherwise, I'll make all your limbs break."

  "Alright, let's just forget it, Junior Sister. Why bother with these people? Let's go." With a flick of her sleeve, all the soldiers were frozen in place by Piaoyue's magic. The two of them walked forward, and with another wave of her sleeve, the soldiers all fell to the ground. Only then did the five of them enter Tianbo City. Behind them, ordinary citizens couldn't help but whisper among themselves in amazement, while some busybodies had already rushed off to report the incident to the authorities.

  As soon as they entered the city, Xiu Yezi said to Shi Zixia: "Junior sister, you should also change your fiery temper. We are cultivators of the truth, what's there to be concerned about with these ordinary people?"

  Zhi Shui's face turned slightly red as she scolded, "But that bastard actually dared to grab me, I didn't kill him already is a good thing." Upon hearing her words, Hai Long, Hong Zhi, and Xiao Ji Ling subconsciously looked at Zhi Shui's full bosom, Xiao Ji Ling having the weakest resistance, suddenly drooled. Zhi Shui was greatly embarrassed, angrily saying, "What are you looking at? Want to die or what? Look again and I'll dig out your eyes."

  "Hai Long sneered: 'Who told you to have such a big chest, and yet you blame us for looking? But, I'm not interested in women like you who are all bust and no brains. My ethereal wife's figure is more suitable for me.'"

  Zhi Shui was furious and just about to erupt when Hai Long hastily reminded her, "This is a public street, do you want to kill the innocent civilians around us?" Zhi Shui was taken aback for a moment before reacting, snarling in anger, "You wait for me, I'll deal with you once we're out of the city." Piao Miao pulled Hai Long and said coquettishly, "Say less, your mouth is merciless."

  Hailong lifted up Piaoyou's hand and kissed it, smiling: "My mouth is most indulgent towards you!" Even with the green gauze on his conical hat in between, Hailong could see that Piaoyou's face had already turned red. She pinched Hailong's hand and whispered: "Don't say such things in front of so many people, it's really embarrassing." Zhi Shui seemed even more uncomfortable, saying to Piaoyou: "Sister, I really don't understand what you're thinking, marrying someone like him who is such a lecher." Hailong took advantage of Zhi Shui not daring to make a move here and said unscrupulously: "What's wrong with being a lecher? This is my love for my wife. Oh, right, someone like you who has never been loved, naturally wouldn't understand."

  Zhi Shui's face suddenly turned pale, her lips trembling as she couldn't speak. Hai Long clearly felt that the fluctuations of her body's magic were extremely strong. Piao Miao angrily said: "Dragon, you've gone too far! What are you talking about? Quickly apologize to your sister!" Hai Long looked at Zhi Shui, who was shaking with anger, and suddenly felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart. He hypocritically stepped forward and said: "Zhi Shui sister, I made a mistake earlier. Don't be angry, it's not good for your body if you get too upset." Zhi Shui's eyes flashed with cold light, and Hai Long immediately felt uneasy. With a loud slap, he was hit by Zhi Shui on the face, stumbling back four or five steps before regaining his balance. Being slapped in public instantly drew the attention of passersby. Fortunately, Zhi Shui didn't use her magic for this slap; otherwise, Hai Long might have lost half his life.
