Chapter 416: Chapter 96 Everyone’s Fine Now [Thanks to the alliance hierarch "A Fire in the Bamboo Forest" for the reward]_1

Atop the Silver Sword Peak.

Two young girls were taking a casual walk, admiring the scenery of Silver Sword Peak.

The two looked somewhat similar, both beautiful with fair skin. However, one had a slightly more mature appearance, was taller, and conveyed a steady demeanor with an aura of subtle vigilance; the other seemed more lively, hopping about in colorful clothes, appearing utterly innocent and carefree.

These were sisters Liu Xiaoyu and Liu Xiaoyi.

After the prior reunion of Koi sisters, Xiaoyi spent some time living with her sister in the Water Mansion underwater. Before setting off, Chu Liang extended an invitation to them. Now, after some time, Xiaoyi was ready to show her sister her home in Shu Mountain.

However, Liu Xiaoyu was slightly uncomfortable with this gathering place of human cultivators.

"It’s good that they didn’t come back. After all, I have seen it. There’s nothing fascinating about Shu Mountain." Liu Xiaoyu suggested, "Shall we return underwater?"

"Hmm..." Liu Xiaoyi frowned, reluctantly responded, "I prefer the liveliness of Shu Mountain. It’s always damp and gloomy underwater, which feels uncomfortable."

Liu Xiaoyu cast an astonished look at her sister, "Do you realize what you’re saying? You’re a fish."

"Oh." Liu Xiaoyi realized just then that unconsciously, she had come to prefer land over water.

Her little brain that never learned biology probably wouldn’t understand that naturally, land is better than water. Otherwise, aquatic creatures would have evolved legs to come onto land, rather than land creatures evolving fins to go underwater.

However, she quickly stopped thinking about it. Instead, she held her sister’s arm and cajoled, "Oh, sister, please stay here a while. Everybody at Silver Sword Peak is awesome, I am really comfortable living here. I have a particularly large house, a bit bigger than Chu Liang. Peak Master Empress Feng is an enthusiastic and forthright big sister who is very good to me. Big Brother Chu Liang is gentle and kind. He has saved me many times before and even gives me money to buy food every month. Ah, and there’s Golden Fur Beast, an extraordinarily honest and simple Spirit Beast – so cute!"

"Ah..." Liu Xiaoyu sighed, "You say this every day."

"Hehe." Liu Xiaoyi laughed, she wanted to say something else when she suddenly froze. After looking around for a while, she eventually said, "Eh? Where’s my house?"

The truth was that initially, a wooden house was built for her next to Empress Feng’s loft when she had first arrived. It had since become her delightful little nest.

But a few days ago, Empress Feng’s breakthrough explosion annihilated half of the peak. So when the disciples from the Earth-Wood Hall came to rebuild, Chu Liang asked them to relocate Xiaoyi’s room slightly further from the master’s abode.

Luckily, Xiaoyi was not in her house when this happened. Otherwise, with good luck, she would’ve been roasted. And without luck, she would’ve been scattered all over.

Not just her room but in reality, even the Golden Fur Beast’s den had been moved several miles away. Nowadays, Empress Feng was in a state of being feared by everybody at Silver Sword Peak.

However, Xiaoyi was never informed about this, hence, naturally, she didn’t know.

Seeing her sister in a daze, Liu Xiaoyu asked, "What’s wrong?"

After looking around for a long time, Xiaoyu finally mumbled dejectedly, "My house was stolen..."

"How’s that possible?" Liu Xiaoyu asked. "Did you remember it incorrectly?"

"No way!" Xiaoyu decisively said, "I walk this path back from the berry orchard to my home every day, I couldn’t have memorized it wrong."

Xiaoyu was utterly confused as to how someone could return home to find that their house has disappeared.

...

The bewildered sisters suddenly heard a roaring sound from the sky and saw a burst of fire descending from the heavens.

Boom—

The sisters jumped in fright. Upon looking back, they saw a tall figure emerging from the dust and smoke.

Naturally, it was Empress Feng who had been in a race with Wang Xuanling.

A self-satisfied smile played at the corner of Empress Feng’s mouth, "Old Deng thought he could compete with me? He must have fallen behind by at least thirty miles."

Her gaze quickly shifted to the figures in the distance and immediately lit up, "Little Yi! You’re back!"

"Sister Feng!" Little Yi, holding her sister, ran over and called out affectionately.

"Oh, so this must be your sister, right? You truly are identical twins...hehe." Empress Feng’s smile brightened.

"Yes, this is my sister Xiaoyu." Liu Xiaoyi introduced and then turned to her sister, "This is Peak Master Feng, Sister Feng whom I told you about."

"It’s been so long, I missed you so much." Empress Feng moved forward as if to pat Xiaoyi’s head, but quickly retracted her hand.

"What’s wrong?" Liu Xiaoyi asked curiously.

"No, I just smashed someone into pulp with my bare hands and dried it out. There’s still some smell on my hand." Empress Feng sniffed her palm, "I’ll go wash my hands first, then come back to play with you."

With that, a streak of fire headed back to her own loft.

She left behind the sisters, standing rooted to the spot in astonishment with their eyes wide and full of horror, it took them a while to react.

"Ah..."

Even though Liu Xiaoyu had been a Demon Queen for a while, her little martial arts experience and mentality were easily shattered in front of Empress Feng.

How could her mouth utter such horrifying words so lightly?

What kind of psychotic killer was she?

This is absolutely not the process of killing people, this is blatantly how you make fish paste!

Wait a second, fish paste?

Aren’t we fish?!

Liu Xiaoyi tightly grasped her sister’s hand, her voice trembling, "Is this the supposedly warm and enthusiastic big sister? This is terrifying, isn’t it? Maybe we should run away now, or we won’t be able to run anymore later. Her cultivation is too strong, I can’t breathe just with a glance from her."

Little Yi was a bit torn and said, "Empress Feng has been really nice to me, she just gets a bit scary occasionally... Even if she killed someone, it should be a bad person, right?"

Who kills people like this? Seriously?

Initially, Liu Xiaoyi suspected that her sister was being deceived due to her innocence. But now, she was not worried about her sister being deceived. Instead, she was worried that her sister might one day be fattened up and then pounded into paste...

The two sisters were in the midst of a heated argument when a sword light fell from the sky. It was Chu Liang who had rushed back.

As soon as he landed, he saw the two sisters.

"You’re here!" Chu Liang was also very pleasantly surprised.

"Big Brother Chu Liang is back!" Little Yi called out, "Big Brother Chu Liang has always treated me even better! He gives me so many Sword Coins every month for me to spend however I want!"

"Really? Is it that good?" Liu Xiaoyi began to look suspiciously at Chu Liang.

"Well, not exactly." Chu Liang chuckled, "Little Yi works in my Berry Playground, so she deserves all of it."

"That’s right! Work is glory," Little Yi echoed, "He gave me the opportunity to work and also pays me! How nice is that!"

Liu Xiaoyi: "?"

Although she hadn’t had much experience in the human world, she instinctively felt something wasn’t right about what was said.

Chu Liang quickly added, "Yeah, Little Yi is quite incredible. Many people came because they liked her. The performance of the Berry Playground has been declining since she was gone."

"That’s right, that’s right, there have been so many people who like me!" Little Yi echoed.

"So you’ve been working there the whole time?" Liu Xiaoyi noticed something.

If the playground couldn’t do without Little Yi, does it mean she never left?

"Not really, Big Brother Chu Liang taught me about a thing called ’work-rest balance’. I work for five days, then rest for two days, then work for another five days and rest for one day. I get to rest a whole six days a month!" Little Yi added.

Liu Xiaoyi: "..."

Chu Liang hurried to explain, "Since the Berry Playground just opened and Little Yi is essential, I had to ask her to stay. But once other businesses are established, it won’t be like this anymore. Besides, Little Yi usually has nothing to do, so she doesn’t need to work if she’s busy. Look at the days when she was off to find you, it was all okay."

"Yes, yes!" Little Yi nodded again, "Big Brother Chu Liang is so understanding. He said I could stay as long as I want, as long as I take a leave. Whenever I ask for a leave, it’s deducted from my rest days. No matter how long I stay over there, I can make up for it by working continuously for a year or two!"

Liu Xiaoyi: "!"

Chu Liang quickly added, "That’s not going to happen. Little Yi is one of us at Silver Sword Peak, so the policy is applicable just in name..."

"Hmph." Liu Xiaoyi sneered, "The kind-hearted big brother..."

In her opinion, what were the work-rest balances, leave policies... they were more hateful than the crazed murderer. After all, the murderer only harms one person.

But he could harm countless people... and countless fish.

Chu Liang covered his face with his hand and said, "After all, we are just in the initial stage. Little Yi enjoys going to the orchard and playing with people, so I let her go there more often. If she doesn’t like it, I will definitely not force her to work."

Well, that was true.

After all, he wasn’t some monster.

If Little Yi didn’t like doing something there, he definitely would not force her. But Little Yi was bored hanging out on the mountain peak on ordinary days. Going there, she could meet a lot of people who liked her, and she thought it was fun too. The main content of her work was just to play there and toss frisbees with Big Round Head and Baize Cubs. This could attract a lot of spectators. So it was fun and profitable, why wouldn’t she?

Chu Liang usually had to remind Little Yi to rest and do her cultivation practice to improve her skill. Although she, as a demonic creature, had a long lifespan and didn’t feel any urgency for the time being. But it could be a waste if she had a Real Dragon inheritance and didn’t take it seriously.

So, it’s fine if she wants to take leave, irrespective of the duration.

She was actually enjoying it.

"Yes, it’s really fun there with all the hustle and bustle, plus everyone likes me." Little Yi said.

However, for some reason, she felt her sister’s facial expression was getting worse.

Just then, there were heavy footsteps in the distance.

As soon as Little Yi heard it, she knew it was the Golden Fur Beast coming, she immediately grabbed her sister and said, "Let’s go see the adorable Golden Fur Beast! I’m sure you will love it!"

Liu Xiaoyi followed her sister to the hillside, and saw...

The "honest and dumb, incredibly cute" spirit beast was sprinting towards them, its golden fur standing on end, emanating an intimidating aura! Out of its huge mouth, there were two legs sticking out helplessly, swinging and struggling hard, with occasional faint screams.

It was carrying a person in its mouth!
