Chapter 272 - 272 21 Does Princess Chang Want to Kill Me_1

272: Chapter 21 Does Princess Chang Want to Kill Me?_1 272: Chapter 21 Does Princess Chang Want to Kill Me?_1 The mountain winds were piercingly cold.

The autumn grew thicker, leaves withered, and the grass wilted away.

Su He was slapped awake, slap by slap, by the Toad.

Slowly opening his eyes, he heard the Toad’s croak by his ear, “Wake up!

Wake up!

If you don’t wake up now, Frog Lord here is gonna slice you up and put you in a stew.”

Next to him, a radish-shaped Soul Beast mimicked the Toad, slapping Meng Xuan with its root-like tentacles.

Even the Dragon Head was knocked askew.

In the distance, a bat-shaped Soul Beast glanced at them, then at Meng Shen lying beside it, uncertain whether to start slapping its own master the same way.

Su He’s Dragon Head moved and he woke up, feeling intense pain all over his body.

The Four-point quality Sky Thunder Pearl worked wonders!

This was the worst injury he’d sustained since hatching.

The pain on his skin was bearable, but when he looked inward, he saw his internal organs were damaged, yet they were slowly healing.

Even without special treatment, they would gradually recover.

“How did you get here?” Su He asked in his mind.

It’s surprising that the Toad made it inside the Dragon Gate.

“There were fluctuations beyond transcendence inside.

The Dragon clan reinforced the Dragon Gate; when a Dragon entered, I followed.

What happened to you?

Did you get boiled or something?”

Su He didn’t respond.

What kind of water could boil him to this state?

With the Divine Skills of Control Water, boiling and icy water were merely a thought away.

Water couldn’t hurt him.

Su He looked to his side, observing Meng Xuan slowly awakening.

With a flick of his whisker-like tentacle, he slapped the radish Soul Beast away.

It seemed his condition was somewhat better than Su He’s.

The little bat, seeing the awakened Dragon and Turtle, looked at its own petite claws, leaped onto Meng Shen, and began a ferocious slapping spree.

“Wake up!

Wake up!

If you don’t wake up now, Bat Lord here is gonna slice you up and put you in a stew.”

Seeing that Meng Shen showed no signs of awakening, it panicked and started to chirp frantically at the Toad and the radish.

The radish rolled on the ground, then sprang up with admirable loyalty, hopping over and swinging its tentacles to slap Meng Shen’s head.

Su He broke into a cold sweat.

Of the two dragons and a turtle, Meng Xuan had the highest Tao Cultivation with two opened heavens.

Plus being a Dragon Turtle meant naturally strong defenses and robust vitality, so his quick recovery was to be expected, wasn’t it?

Meng Shen, although older, had only opened one heaven, and his defenses were inferior to Su He’s.

It was normal for him not to wake up first.

“We should leave the Dragon Gate first,” Meng Xuan said weakly.

It was a careless overlook; Canchen Senior even sold the Sky Thunder Pearl with such formidable power.

This bead was truly a treasure among treasures, with the Ten Major Immortal Doors, other Sects would consider it a fundamental treasure.

Could it be that the Senior was coerced by the Bifang clan?

Su He tried and could barely Control Water.

But flying across such a distance to reach the Dragon Gate was definitely out of reach.

The pain in his body was minor, but his mind was roaring, dizzy spells overwhelming him.

He couldn’t make out the myriad things in front of his eyes as if he’d been anesthetized.

Concentrating thoughts for contemplation was impossible, let alone anything else.

At the moment, he could fall into a coma at any time.

Even distinguishing reality from illusions became challenging, as one phantasm after another flashed before his eyes.

That was the drawback of being a Divine God Beast—the Divine God Soul and flesh body were united.

Damaging the flesh also harmed the Divine God Soul.

It was inevitable that illusions would proliferate when the Divine God Soul was injured.

The bat, while slapping its master, listened to the conversation between Su He and Meng Xuan.

Its eyes lit up, it blocked the radish’s hits, and with a leap, it dove into the Intention Orifice of the Golden Dragon below.

The Golden Dragon’s eyes were still closed, yet its body started flying up.

The Soul Beast and its master are one.

The Soul Beast can be intangible or tangible, and can integrate into the master’s sea of consciousness, allowing brief control over the body if the master permits.

Meng Xuan closed her eyes, and the radish burrowed into her glabella.

The Frog Lord looked at Su He with a bit of awkwardness.

It had never controlled a Dragon Turtle body before.

Was today going to be the first time?

Su He struggled to roll his eyes at him.

The injured was the body, so who wouldn’t still be operating a broken body?

Barely opening the External Space, he tossed out the Flying Boat, and immediately fell back into a coma.

The Frog Lord twitched his mouth, burrowed under the Dragon Turtle to prop it up, flashed onto the Flying Boat, then hopped beside the two Golden Dragons and got them into the Flying Boat.

He took out a handful of Spirit Stones, ready to activate the Flying Boat.

In the lofty sky, a Black Dragon circled down with a dragon’s chant.

Looking at the three severely wounded cubs, its eyes were filled with ruthless killing intent.

Without waiting for the Frog Lord to act, the Black Dragon grabbed the Flying Boat and smashed through the void, emerging at the Dragon Gate, and let out a long chant as soon as it flew out.

Many young Divine God Beasts had gathered outside the Dragon Gate, and those who had stepped through were steadily returning.

Several adult Divine God Beasts were circling beneath the Dragon Gate.

There, Fu Zhu, the Fog, and Feathered Eye Chicken, Mu Yin, stood quietly.

It was clear that Mu Yin had just awakened not long ago, still dazed.

If it were not for the two eyes underneath its wings, no one would recognize this plucked chicken as a Divine God Beast.

The elder Feathered Eye Chicken looked flustered at the sight of a Bifang outside.

It was an adult Bifang that had come to attend the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice.

When the young Feathered Eye Chicken was discovered, it had already left Yunmeng Ze and was in the guise of a Bifang, hurrying back to Zhang E Mountain with the appearance of a Bifang in a rush.

Yet, its eyes were full of panic, for it had been controlled.

It had replaced the Bifang.

The Bifang had entered the Dragon Gate using its identity, and then an accident had occurred within the Dragon Gate.

The Black Dragon descended, placed the Flying Boat above Yunmeng Ze, and then turned, unblinkingly staring at the adult Bifang.

That Bifang’s face was somber.

The moment the Sky Thunder Pearl exploded, it knew something had gone wrong, although it had no idea what.

But it could still feel the shattering of the Consciousness Body.

“Xuan Yuan, where is my youngster?” Xuan Yuan is the Black Dragon’s title.

The Black Dragon snorted coldly and threw out a few torn Bifang feathers with Death Qi lingering on them.

These were feathers that had fallen after death.

The rest of the body had vanished in the explosion.

The beasts exchanged glances.

You looked at me; I looked at you.

They had all imagined a drama unfolding, and everything seemed unspeakable.

The Bifang controlled the Feathered Eye Chicken.

It disguised its identity and secretly infiltrated the Dragon Gate.

An accident occurred within, two young dragons and a Divine God Beast turtle were severely injured, and the Bifang died…

No matter how you looked at it, the Bifang was to blame for this mess.

The adult Bifang slightly lowered its head, “For this matter, my clan must give everyone an explanation.” It gathered the little Bifang’s feathers and took to the wings, ready to leave.

But Xuan Yuan rose in hot pursuit: “Fellow Taoist, perhaps you should stay for the time being!”

The Black Dragon lunged forward and in an instant was alongside the Bifang, then coiled its dragon body around the Bifang and whisked it away to an unknown location.

A dragon appeared, flicked out three Pill Medicines that turned into a gentle rain and soaked into the Flying Boat, drenching the one turtle and two dragons, all juveniles.

The Pill Medicine was exceptionally effective, visibly mending their injuries.

A while later, Su He slowly awoke, feeling his mind was booming, and dizzy with discomfort.

The two Little Golden Dragons also struggled to wake up, clearly looking distressed.

He looked around at all the different Divine God Beasts, with only Ji Feixue by herself in water-blue clothing, standing among the hundred beasts.

At this moment, the incomparably beautiful Princess Chang had a complexion of icy-cold allure that was untouchable.

Wherever she stood, she radiated a chilling allure.

No living beings dared approach within five hundred paces of her!

She was like an unconquerable ice queen.

“First, send the three of them back separately for recuperation.

We’ll discuss the others later,” a deep voice came from an Azure Dragon.

Meng Xuan was born in Yunmeng Ze, and Meng Shen also had her own palace here, but only Su He hadn’t chosen a dwelling since her arrival.

She had stayed at Chenfeng Mountain for a month and then lay on the Golden Lotus until the Dragon Gate opened.

Ji Feixue’s voice was cool and clear, “Send [him] to Qingling Park.”

That was her residence, where White Spirit used to live when she was around; it was eminently suitable for the Dragon Turtle.

“I’ll go,” said Azure Dragon Qing Cang, coiling around Su He and diving into the water.

Gu Luo had entrusted the little turtle to its care, but it had ended up seriously injured, so the Azure Dragon felt somewhat guilty.

Ji Feixue did not speak, and lightly stepped into the water as well.

The Yunmeng Dragon King glanced around and bowed with a fist, saying, “Pardon me, everyone, I will follow them and have a look.”

Although they were family, Qing Cang and his aunt had never gotten along, getting beaten up by her several times.

At this moment, both of them seemed to be in a bad mood, and no one wanted them to start fighting in front of so many guests from All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Everyone understood the situation in his family, and no one made a fuss.

The Divine Beasts returned the gesture, “We don’t mind, just let the Dragon King go.”

“Just go, just go!”

The Dragon King turned and followed.

Enveloped by the Azure Dragon, Su He plunged into the water, and the Ze Water gently struck him, somewhat refreshing.

He opened his mouth to thank Qing Cang and politely made conversation.

But his mind was reeling so badly that he had no idea what he was saying, although it was probably something like compliments and thanks.

Basic politeness was something Su He still possessed.

Only dimly did he notice that the dazzling form of Princess Chang followed them, and he thanked her as well, praising her, without realizing when his mind reeled again, and he fell back to sleep.

He slept very deeply but for an extremely brief period, as if he had merely blinked and it was over.

When he awoke again, he felt a strange atmosphere around him.

His limbs were stiff, and a wave of cold seemed to seep out from deep within his bones.

It felt not like he’d been injured by an explosion, but rather like frostbite.

Gradually warming up, Su He opened his eyes.

He was already in an underwater pavilion surrounded by swaying water plants, looking out into a lush green expanse.

This place, rich in water elements, was very suitable for him to live in.

Several palace maids stood far outside the pavilion, not daring to look in this direction.

Right in front of him, the Yunmeng Dragon King stared at him dumbfounded.

Qing Cang looked at Su He with wide dragon eyes, as if witnessing the end of the world.

Ji Feixue sat in the courtyard, one hand supporting her chin on the stone table, with a half-smile watching him.

The atmosphere was somewhat eerie, as if the air had almost solidified.

A palace maid glanced at Su He with a mix of admiration and sympathy.

Liu Ru, holding a small Pill Furnace, seemed to be delivering medicine, but was frozen in shock at the archway, unsure whether to enter or leave.

Su He was clueless.

The gleeful voice of Toad came from within: “Darling, the Dragon King is asking you a question!”

Su He blinked and looked towards the Yunmeng Dragon King.

The Dragon King’s voice was gentle, “Young Friend Su He, are you…really sure?”

???

Su He was immediately baffled.

What had I already decided on?

He shrank his head and quietly asked Toad, “What happened when I was unconscious just now?”

His voice was very low, but everyone present had keen senses, and they heard him clearly.

There was a sudden intake of breath in shock.

The Yunmeng Dragon King said to Ji Feixue with clasped hands, “Aunt, just kill him!”

???

What the hell!

Why are you killing someone?

I’ve woken up from a serious injury, and now you want to kill me?

He was utterly confused.

The Toad’s laughter rang out in Su He’s heart, “When the three of them were bringing you here, you were full of compliments and even revealed your deepest thoughts.”

“…” Had I said something outrageously rebellious in my confusion?

The Toad chuckled, “You mentioned Princess Chang.”

Su He looked at Ji Feixue, who raised an eyebrow with a smile, her other hand tapping lightly at the tabletop.

It was hard to discern her thoughts, but she seemed…

rather in a good mood?

“…” Su He’s heart skipped a beat.

“Did I propose to her?”

Toad shook its head, and Su He exhaled in relief.

That was close!

As long as it wasn’t about that, the Dragon Turtle Tribe could handle any other big issue.

Yet, the Toad said ominously, “There’s a word before the word ‘love’.”

“…”

Su He looked incredulously at Toad, which nodded slightly and laughed heartily, “You were praising and expressing thanks, and then unknowingly started to boast about yourself becoming a Dragon Turtle in one year, and Opening The Heaven in half a year.

You asked Princess Chang if you were worthy of a night of pleasure…”

“…” Su He was dumbstruck.

Shit!

He felt completely bewildered, giving a miserable smile, “So, Princess Chang wants to kill me?”

Deservedly!

Dammit!

Su He deeply suspected that he might become the shortest-lived creature among the Divine God Beasts.

There would surely be a significant annotation in the history of the Dragon Turtle Tribe: There was a Dragon Turtle He, who ascended in one year, Opened The Heaven in half a year, and after another half a year, died.

Tell me, how do you want me to die?

Toad shook its head again, “Princess Chang agreed.”

“…”

“…”
