Slow Fairy Road (Fairy Spirit Realm)

  Originally, seeing this young lady being so gentle and kind-hearted, with a good temperament, she was secretly relieved that there shouldn't be any more trouble. Who knew her luck was still a bit off, and right before her eyes, she was about to "offend" a powerful person. Xiao Yao hastily spoke up before the old man could take the medicine, saying: "Junior Rong Rou thanks you, Miss, as well as several seniors, for your kind intentions. Junior has taken it to heart, but this medicine would be useless even if junior took it. Please, Miss, withdraw your kindness."

  When Xiang Yao refused, the old man's face was slightly relieved, but he still said: "Hmph, a small nameless cultivator like you can receive Miss's favor, it's a great blessing from heaven. How could you be so ungrateful and reject Miss's kindness? If you don't have a good reason, can I take it that you're looking down on my White Jade Pavilion?" As he spoke, the pressure emanating from his body increased again, directly targeting Xiang Yao.

  With a snort, Xiao Yao's blood rushed to her chest, and she almost couldn't help but want to go forward and give this old shameless man a foot. It seemed that this old man was unwilling to give her the medicine, and she had refused him in line with his wishes, but still needed to give an explanation that wouldn't lose face, making it clear that it was because she herself was unworthy of receiving it, rather than their hypocrisy? What a pitiful father!

  Why the other party not only has a stronger strength than himself, but also has a deeper background behind him, and is even more closely related to himself. He had to make great efforts to suppress the anger in his heart. She pretended to be unable to bear the pressure and lowered her head slightly, covering up the flames of anger in her eyes. Her tone was still respectful as she said: "Thank you, senior, the young lady's kind intention is to give us spiritual elixirs and wonderful medicines. How could we have unrighteous thoughts? It's just that our junior's cultivation method is special, not all elixirs can be taken, in case it conflicts with our cultivation method, it would be a loss. So, the good intentions of you all can only be acknowledged in our hearts."

  The old man finally looked satisfied, and a smile returned to his face. He said to his own daughter, "Miss, since this girl doesn't have the good fortune, we can't do something kind that would harm others."

  The young lady looked at Xiao Yao and saw that she was determined, so she smiled and said, "Alright then."

  Xiao Yao let out a sigh of relief, and then heard the young lady ask the old man: "Zeng Bo, is this really 'Mo Tian Tan'? Why can't we see the Wan Ren Yu?"

  After taking a precious pill, the old man's mood improved greatly. He stroked his white eyebrows and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, miss. Wait until I catch these beasts."

  After saying that, he dived into the "Magic Sky Pool" and in just a moment, a huge whirlpool appeared in the pool, with rapid water flow. Immediately after, there was a loud splashing sound, and then the old man rushed out first, holding a dustpan in his hand, with a long white beard at the end of the dustpan, dragging out a giant fish over ten feet long!

  Ah! Xiao Yao was stunned, she didn't expect someone to dare dive into the water to catch fish. She remembered that in the classics it was written: "Mo Tian Tan" had an abnormally cold temperature, especially at the depth where the Wan Ren fish lived, there was a chill that even cultivators in the Lian Shen stage couldn't withstand, so these Hua Shen stage cultivators could only wait bitterly by the edge of the pool.

  But the old Taoist in front of him not only had no defense and jumped into the water alone, but also easily pulled out the Wanren fish, and it's unknown what kind of state he has cultivated to.

  "Zeng Bo!" The young lady saw the old man pulling out the Wan Ren fish, but she didn't look happy, instead, she looked somewhat annoyed and scolded: "Didn't you say I was supposed to hunt alone? Just now I was just asking, why did you take action?"

  The old man's eyes rolled around and he chuckled, "No big deal, I just pulled it out. As for the task, of course, Miss will still have to complete it alone. We won't lend a hand." With that, he released the duster and set up a seal on the "Magic Sky Pool" with his hands, preventing the Wanren Fish from escaping back into the pool.

  Look at the Wanren fish that was dragged out of its old nest, its body shape is not much smaller than the previous Wanren fish king. The fish's eyes are deep blue in color, and it seems to be a young fish. It can only be seen that it is moving restlessly up and down in mid-air, looking at the old man with fear in its eyes, and instinctively wanting to escape. But as soon as it came out, the four male cultivators who were originally guarding the beast cart had already stood up, forming a pentagonal space around it, with the old man at the center, all-around, and there is no way to escape!

  Xiao Yao was speechless. Even in this situation, it didn't count as a "cha" hand? She couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the trapped Wan Ren fish.

  At this time, the young lady standing in the same circle, quickly pinched her fingers, and immediately a golden law fell down, cutting straight into the head of Wan Yan. After a "rumbling" sound, the smoke dispersed, and a clear indentation was struck on the scales of Wan Yan's head by this law.

  Xiao Yao was secretly astonished, she hadn't expected that this noble young lady's magical abilities were not weak, and she could even leave a mark on the fish's head. She couldn't help but look at her with new eyes, but these abilities were still far from enough to kill the fish. Moreover, since the Wàn Rèn Fish was currently in a state of terror, a single blow that was neither too light nor too heavy might provoke it, making it even more ferocious and increasing the difficulty of hunting it down. In this case, it was uncertain whether she could still cope with the situation.

  In a panic, Wan Yan was beaten again. As expected by Xiao Yao, he was furious, his blue pupils turned into a vertical line, and his body burst with sharp thorns towards the young lady!

  The woman may not have had enough combat experience, facing the countless sharp stabs, her face showed a hint of panic, and she hastily pulled out a golden long sword, holding it horizontally in front of her chest, swishing it left and right to parry. However, due to her sword speed being slower than the rapid fish stabs, many sharp teeth stabs were not blocked, fortunately, those stray stabs that managed to get past her defense were deflected by the white light barrier emitted from her fur cloak before they could touch her body, leaving her unscathed.

  Ten thousand fish saw that one move was not successful, and then changed their moves again. The fish mouth exerted a force to suck in, but heard a soft cry from the woman's voice. The young lady was pulled forward by the strong wind and sucked into the fish's mouth with a blink of an eye!

  Just as she was about to be swallowed into the fish's belly, the four male cultivators guarding the four directions and the two maidservants were so frightened that their faces changed color. Various spells and treasures were used at the same time, emitting dazzling light that almost blinded Xiao Yao's eyes.

  In the end, it was still the old man who remained calm, although his face didn't look too good either. He raised his hand to stop everyone from approaching. At the same time, Wan Renyu's fish tail was cut open from top to bottom in an instant, and fresh blood spurted out! Throughout the entire process, Xiao Yao watched carefully from below, but she couldn't even see the sharp instrument that cut off the fish tail, let alone when and how the old man made his move.

  The injury was so severe that the Wanjun fish convulsed in mid-air, with blood splashing everywhere from its severed tail. Its life was already half gone, and it didn't even have the strength to care about the meat in front of its mouth. The young lady was also frightened by its convulsions, staring blankly as if she had lost her senses for a moment.

  The old man saw that it was no use, shook his head repeatedly, and finally couldn't help but shout loudly with a face full of regret: "Miss! Quickly use the talisman given by Madam!"

  The young lady's body shook, and she finally came back to her senses. She hastily took out a talisman paper, infused it with yuan energy, and threw it at the Wanren Fish, saying: "Go!"

  For a moment, the sky was filled with brilliant light, and the powerful magic of the talisman swept away all the nearby clouds, causing turbulent air currents.

  Xiao Yao steadied herself, using her hand to shield her forehead, enduring the violent airflow until it completely dissipated. Only then did she lower her hand. By this time, there was no sign of Wan Zhenyu in the air, only a bloody mist surrounding them. The only thing left was half of a fish tail floating alone on the surface of the "Magic Sky Pool". Miss stood amidst the bloody mist, her pretty face pale, panting heavily, seemingly having consumed a significant amount of her vital energy to activate the talisman.

  "Congratulations to the young lady for single-handedly hunting down the Wanren Fish!" The people on this side were still in shock, while the old man on the other side had already smiled and come forward to offer his congratulations.

  The remaining four men and two women immediately chimed in unison: "Congratulations, Miss! Miss is mighty!"

  Miss, this is still like a dream, somewhat unbelievable: "This... was really killed by me alone?"

  "Of course," the old man nodded in approval, "the young lady first used magic to heavily injure the Wan Ren Fish, then withstood its fatal attack, and finally killed it with a single strike of her talisman, no less impressive than Young Master Wu."

  "This doesn't count as me killing it... and I'm not even a match for Fog Brother" Upon hearing the old man mention her own brother, the young lady's face fell. "Because at that time I was already in a state of utter confusion, relying on Old Man Zeng to remind me; otherwise, I would have been eaten by that fish demon..."

  "Cough, cough" The old man cleared his throat and said with a hint of guilt: "Miss, it's not like that. I was watching from the side, and I could see clearly that Miss's first spell had already severely injured the Wan Zhen fish. Even if I hadn't reminded you, Miss would have been able to hunt down this fish after just a slight delay."

  "Is that so?" The young lady raised an eyebrow, "I vaguely remember that just before I was about to be swallowed by that fish demon, it was still lively and energetic... somehow it suddenly went mad afterwards..."

  Seeing her still thinking deeply, the old man hastily interrupted: "That's right! This is caused by the aftermath of Miss's magic, and this little fog can't be done by Young Master!"

  "Really?! Even Fog Brother can't make him go crazy with magic?" The young lady's big eyes sparkled as she looked at the old man, and in her opinion, this last sentence was more enjoyable than any praise.

  "The old slave dare not deceive." The old man swore solemnly, anyway, Young Master Wu was indeed unable to do so at the moment.

  Having obtained the guarantee, the young lady flashed a sweet smile, and her heart was cleared of its troubles. "Hehe, let's hurry back now, and bring this half fish tail back to show Fog Brother, so he can't laugh at me as 'Princess' again."

  Finally, the group of people walked far away until they were no longer in sight. The leopard that had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead suddenly opened its eyes and said with a curl of its lip: "The boring people have finally left."

  Xiao Yao gazed in the direction of the departing carriage, lost in thought for a moment, before saying: "Let's head back too."

  She returned to the White Jade Pavilion and handed over all the items specified by the task to the warehouse, exchanging them for 16 points of merit. With a full 10 points of merit, she could go to the outer house of the library in the White Jade Pavilion to learn skills and magic.

  She didn't dawdle either and planned to go to the Book Garden first to get a low-level cultivation method for Leopard to refer to.
