Chapter 126: Chapter 82: Xiao Xian’s Regret

Red Locust Great Wizard brought Xiao Xian back to the village, where the villagers were evacuating down the mountain. Had it not been for Secretary Qian’s incessant shouting, everyone would have thought it was all just a dream.

Granny Zhao, with her toothless gums bare, kept muttering nonstop, "May the Bodhisattva bless us, we must have provoked the Dragon King."

The dam on the mountain had collapsed, water flooded down, pouring into the village and submerging the rice fields. Many homes near the entrance of the village were drowned to waist-deep levels, but thankfully, San Gouzi and the others exerted all their strength to transport all the rice into the broadcasting station, narrowly avoiding the disaster.

Secretary Qian lay on the wheelbarrow, silent as well. He couldn’t possibly admit in front of the villagers that the cement used in the dam had been shoddy. Meanwhile, Wang Chunhua’s hen in her hand kept clucking nonstop, as if the clamor wasn’t already enough.

"Xiao Xian," Zhu Shijun saw Xiao Xian’s state and thought something had happened to her, his hands and feet going cold with fear.

"Don’t worry, the little girl’s pulse is strong. She just rushed back to the village and was a bit windblown and frightened," the Red Locust Great Wizard said insincerely, not really knowing who got scared by whom.

"Silly child, why did she run back?" The old man felt a pang of sorrow. With such a commotion on Leigong Mountain, Xiao Xian must have been worried about the village and rushed back.

It was fortunate she ran back; otherwise, who knows what would have become of this situation now.

Red Locust Great Wizard looked at the little girl in her arms, her delicate round face with thick eyelashes trembling slightly, her cheeks smeared with patches of mud. It was a pity this good seedling couldn’t be taken as her own disciple.

But then again, a disciple with "such a big appetite", she couldn’t afford to keep. However, since Xiao Xian was talented with plants, teaching her some knowledge about medicinal herbs wouldn’t be too bad.

"Great Wizard, it’s good that you’ve come," the village chief, seeing Xiao Xian was fine, let the old man take his granddaughter back first. Secretary Qian had been severely injured by a beam, and if not treated in time, he was likely to sustain a lasting ailment.

Red Locust Great Wizard was well aware of Secretary Qian’s many actions regarding Ge Village, like the Dragon Juniper trees that were felled and the secretly constructed dam, which was almost certainly Secretary Qian’s doing.

"I only treat people. Livestock and the like, better to bring them down the mountain to find a vet," the Great Wizard had no intention of staying to clean up the mess for the people of Ge Village. This flood wasn’t entirely bad; it was about time these ignorant Han Family people suffered a bit.

"Hey, where’s that old demoness coming from, talking like that," Wang Chunhua complained.

Red Locust Great Wizard gave a cold laugh. Secretary Qian on the wheelbarrow felt an itch on his back, and as he reached to scratch, his arm touched a long centipede.

"My goodness," Secretary Qian hurriedly shifted out of the wheelbarrow. Wang Chunhua’s hen, seeing the tasty centipede, grabbed her hand with two sharp claws, flapped its wings, and pecked fiercely at Secretary Qian’s face.

Secretary Qian couldn’t bear the pain in his waist and couldn’t break free, getting thrown several meters away with the cart. When the villagers pulled him up, he was already breathing more out than in.

This time, Wang Chunhua didn’t even have the strength to cry.

Xiao Xian lay on the bed plank, stealthily opening her eyes. She had been "unconscious" for quite a while now, to avoid the Great Wizard’s questioning and to deal with the Water Jiao as soon as possible, the fastest way was to "feign fainting." After all, she was just a seven-year-old baby, who can faint whenever she wants.

But after listening to the Water Jiao’s "tiring bombardment" of complaints for half an hour, Xiao Xian felt it better to get out of that space.

"It was a long, long time ago, when I was still..."

"Such an ancient version..." Xiao Xian pondered to herself, "Could it be that White Dragon Pond actually leads directly to the sea, and the White Flood Dragon came swimming from there?"

"Dear master, please don’t interrupt me. When I was still a human,"

"What! I’ve heard of Jiao transforming into humans but never a human devolving into a Jiao. Isn’t it said that humans are the most advanced animals?" As it turns out, Xiao Xian was already a modern-thinking child.

"Dear master, please don’t interrupt. How could I be so lowly? I didn’t turn into a Jiao, I transformed into one. Back in the day, I was the top cultivation genius of the Yunmiao Continent, achieving the Golden Core Stage just after turning sixteen..."

Little White Jiao sensed that its dear little master was already growing impatient.
