Chapter 303 Lanqiuze 6
"Junior Sister Jiu! Junior Sister Jiu! Are you here?"
Cheng Jiu got up and looked, and to his surprise, the first one to arrive was Senior Sister Yingyue.
"Senior sister, I'm here!" Cheng Jiu waved vigorously.
Then I saw Senior Sister Yingyue walking over with a twelve-year-old girl.
Upon seeing Cheng Jiu, Yingyue breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at her familiar senior sister beside her: "Is this Senior Sister Jin Su? And who is this!"
Her gaze drifted to the water ghost on the other side.
"It's me! Junior Sister Yingyue, long time no see!" Senior Sister Jinsu greeted Yingyue.
"This is Yan Yang. She used to be the river goddess here. I asked her to bring you here, Senior Sister." Cheng Jiu introduced, his gaze shifting between Senior Sister Jin Su and Senior Sister Ying Yue, his tone filled with curiosity: "Senior Sister, do you know each other?"
"Yes! This is Elder Qingliu's personal disciple. I met him once when my master sent me to deliver pills to Elder Qingliu. Later, I met my senior sister when we were fighting the beast tide. I didn't expect that my senior sister would also receive this mission!"
Yingyue nodded and explained that Elder Qingliu was equivalent to the deputy peak master of Lefeng. Her cultivation level was no worse than that of the peak master, and she was in charge of most of Lefeng's tasks, so Yaofeng had quite a few interactions with her.
There were a few times when Elder Qingliu was unavailable, so the handover was naturally handled by her personal disciple.
"In that case, I'm truly sorry!"
It's no wonder Cheng Jiu didn't recognize her. Although Cheng Jiu had also studied at Lefeng Peak, it wasn't for long, and he mostly interacted with the peak master and her disciples.
Senior Sister Jin Su is a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator, so it's normal that she doesn't pay attention to a few Foundation Establishment disciples.
Senior Sister Jin Su was somewhat flattered, after all, Cheng Jiu was now at the Nascent Soul stage, and the cultivation world clearly distinguished between different realms.
Such courtesy from a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage left her somewhat flustered. She quickly said, "It's my fault. I don't usually stay on the peak; I'm always out there seeking experience. It's normal that you don't recognize me, Junior Sister!"
"Alright, you two, stop with the polite formalities! Junior Sister Jiu, what did you call me over here for?"
Ying quickly interrupted their conversation, saying that if this continued, who knew when it would end.
Cheng Jiu pointed to the twenty-odd bubbles in the sky and explained the situation to Senior Sister Yingyue in detail.
Yingyue frowned slightly: "Parasites in the yang orifice! How could such a vicious thing exist in this world!" She then looked at the person next to her: "This is indeed troublesome. How did you manage to save Senior Sister Jinsu?"
Cheng Jiu briefly explained how she saved Jin Su!
The two were stunned. Senior Sister Jin Su finally understood why Cheng Jiu hadn't continued!
That's incredibly audacious! If he makes even the slightest mistake, Cheng Jiu will be courting death!
Using her own Dao Seed as bait, Senior Sister Jin Su had no idea what Cheng Jiu was thinking. That was a Dao Seed! The foundation for proving the Dao! Although Cheng Jiu saved her, Senior Sister Jin Su was still apprehensive about Cheng Jiu's audacious act.
She knew that Cheng Jiu had used his Dao Seed on her, but she didn't expect him to use it like this!
"This method can no longer be used!" Senior Sister Yingyue said with a serious expression!
Senior Sister Jin Su next to her also looked in agreement!
"If you continue using this method, I'll tell Immortal Lord Qingxu and have him teach you a lesson! Is the Dao Seed so easily manipulated?"
Senior Sister Yingyue reprimanded this audacious junior sister with a stern face. She was really too bold! What would Cheng Jiu do if she really swallowed those fish eggs? She would have nowhere to cry.
Losing the opportunity to attain enlightenment is a small matter, but if one suffers a backlash, all the cultivation one has accumulated will be destroyed in an instant! This is definitely not a trivial matter!
Listening to her senior's lecture, Cheng Jiu looked meek and submissive. She was just trying to investigate! Okay, she knew she was wrong!
Seeing Cheng Jiu's remorseful expression, Yingyue looked at the blisters on her head and her expression became even more serious!
Parasitic infection of the yang orifice sounds like a pretty troublesome problem!
Cheng Jiu's method was incredibly luxurious, essentially reshaping the Yang Aperture. Even without sparing the cost of elixirs, few could achieve what Cheng Jiu did.
Not everyone can comprehend the most precious life seed among wood spirit roots like Cheng Jiu!
Seeing that Senior Sister Yingyue was deep in thought, Cheng Jiu looked at the newly joined child.
The girl involuntarily shrank back when she met Cheng Jiu's gaze, and looked at Yan Yang with a look of dependence and trust.
"Isn't she leaving?"
"This child is Huang Si's next chosen sacrifice. Her mother died early, and her father originally valued her quite a bit. She was also quite useful under Huang Si, so her life was not in danger!"
Yan Yang touched the girl's face, and the girl became even more attached to Yan Yang and hid behind him: "It's a pity that her stepmother found out she was pregnant a while ago. That stepmother was also unkind and persuaded her father to sacrifice her."
Her father originally disagreed, but somehow the news reached Huang Si's ears, and Huang Si specifically conveyed a hint to her father. For the sake of their future and the treasure, her father agreed!
Her mother was originally a devout believer of mine, so I couldn't help but take extra care of her from the moment she was born! The little one is very grateful and has even started worshipping me!
Fortunately, her father was a close confidant of Huang, so her freedom wasn't restricted, and she wasn't far from your senior sister, so I suggested she bring your senior sister along!
Cheng Jiu looked at the little girl: "You should be able to save those children who were sacrificed!"
Yan Yang shook his head with a slightly bitter expression: "If it were a cultivator, it would be fine, as the demon wouldn't absorb much and could be stored as food. But for children, especially those cultivators with low cultivation levels, the demon can devour them in one bite and never misses a bite!"
I'd like to help, but I'm no match for them, and I'm afraid of alerting them and ruining the plan!
Then Yan Yang's eyes revealed a clear-headedness: "If the whip doesn't hit the person, the person will never feel the pain! Almost all of my followers have betrayed me for those spirit stones!"
Even if some persist, how can I, the former River Goddess who brings no benefit whatsoever, expect them to unconditionally abandon their interests and follow me!
The souls you see are all victims of cruelty, which is why they stand firmly by my side, seeking revenge and resistance!
Cheng Jiu's heart sank, and he couldn't utter a word for a moment.
After a long silence, she finally spoke with difficulty: "If we hadn't come, would you have saved her?"
Yan Yang closed his eyes in pain, remaining silent; everything was understood without being said.
The little girl next to her did not show any fear, but looked at Yan Yang with an extremely trusting gaze, as if she trusted all the decisions she made!
It was only at this moment that Cheng Jiu truly realized that Yan Yang was a complete madman who was willing to give up anything for his plan.
Senior Sister Jin Su, who was standing next to her, also listened to the whole thing, but she couldn't say anything. After all, at the moment she was dying, she and Yan Yang had the same thoughts: to tear those attackers to pieces and to express their resentment at dying in this nameless place!
So if it weren't for Junior Sister Cheng Jiu and Senior Sister Yingyue being here, her thoughts would probably be the same as Yan Yang's!
Senior Sister Jin Su looked at the little girl with heartache in her eyes. The child's background and experiences were truly heartbreaking!
Her mother died and her father didn't care for her, but now her father is actually offering her up willingly.
This child has no home anymore! From that moment on.
Perhaps sensing Senior Sister Jin Su's distress, the girl did not react negatively to Senior Sister Jin Su's approach and obediently stayed in Senior Sister Jin Su's arms!
Senior Sister Jin Su took out a spirit-testing stone: "Have you ever had your aptitude tested?"
The girl shook her head blankly. Although she had not been abused at home, her father seemed more concerned about her outside the home and neglected to have her aptitude tested.
As for her stepmother, it was even less likely that she would take the initiative to help her stepdaughter with the test. What if, what if, this stepdaughter really had exceptional talent? How could she possibly compete with her?
Senior Sister Jin Su sighed, guessing that was to be expected, since from the first time they met, the girl showed no signs of cultivation.
She looked at Yan Yang: "You're not going to do anything about her either!"
Yan Yang: "Who said I didn't care! I can't show my face directly. I asked a believer to do a divination for her before, but her stepmother blocked it all. When it got out of hand, her family said it was a family matter."
I would like to bring her out, but the child herself is unwilling, and I have no way to move her out of her home. If she is not talented, she will be treated even worse!
Besides, I have many followers, and I can't look after one child every moment; I can only glance at him occasionally!
Yan Yang quickly defended herself, saying that she hadn't done nothing, but the child really couldn't be separated from her parents at that time, and she had many followers, so all she could do was ensure that the child wasn't abused by her stepmother.
God knows, she had already threatened her stepmother more than twenty times. Even now, her stepmother only dares to secretly ask her father to take action, instead of doing so openly, because she thinks that her stepdaughter is favored by the gods!
The little girl nodded obediently: "It has nothing to do with the River Goddess, I just didn't want to have it done!"
"Why?" Senior Sister Jin Su asked casually while helping the girl assess her aptitude.
She had also done the task of recruiting disciples, so she was quite experienced in it.
"Mother said that if I awaken my talent, she will tell Father to kick me out!"
"Didn't your father object?"
The spirit stone showed three colors: blue, yellow, and green. Unfortunately, apart from the blue being slightly brighter, the yellow and green colors were very dull.
That's understandable, considering her parents aren't particularly outstanding, and this isn't exactly a blessed and beautiful place.
If the water elemental root is of the required purity, Senior Sister Jin Su could find a way to bring this girl back to Yuan Zong. It would be better for her to be a menial disciple of Le Feng than to stay by her father's side!
The reason for such dedication is simple: Senior Sister Jin Su took a liking to this girl and was happy to lend her a hand!
"Father, he didn't say anything!"
That's why the girl had no power to resist her stepmother and could only silently accept her arrangements in order to stay in that house!
"What a pity!" Senior Sister Jinshu looked at the purity without any surprise. It was normal that it did not meet the standard, since the light emanating from the spirit-testing stone could tell a thing or two.
The girl's aptitude is really average!
The girl was neither disappointed nor cried; instead, she accepted her ordinariness!
"It's alright if we can't go to Guiyuan Sect. After we deal with Huang Si, my River God Temple will be rebuilt. Would you be my envoy?" Yan Yang quickly reassured him.
The little girl nodded eagerly, "Okay, thank you, River Goddess!"
“There’s no need for that!” Jin Su patted the girl’s head: “Having three spiritual roots is still quite good. You’re still young and haven’t passed the optimal stage for cultivation yet.”
Although I can't join the Guiyuan Sect, there are many sects under its jurisdiction. I have a good friend who is from the Taixuan Sect. Their sect has a clean and upright style, and the relationship between the disciples is harmonious!
"If you're willing, I'll send you a letter; the Tai Xuan Sect is quite good!"
"I will!" The girl was about to refuse when Yan Yang stopped her!
"No!" Yan Yang believed that Jin Su wouldn't betray her, and that Tai Xuan Sect was truly a good place: "I hope you can make the choice you want. My position as envoy will always be reserved for you, but I don't want you to stay because of that position! You should make your choice!"
The little girl's eyes were filled with tears. She could hear the River Goddess's concern for her; someone cared about her: "River Goddess!"
Yan Yang sighed and hugged the girl in her arms. She didn't know how to get along with this child, but she was destined not to give this child all her love!
"Go to the Tai Xuan Sect! There you will surely find a family member who is devoted to you!"
They weren't masters or fellow disciples, but family. For this child, this is probably the greatest comfort!
"Okay!" The little girl nodded vigorously!
Seeing that the girl had made her choice, Senior Sister Jin Su said, "When we go back to Guiyuan Sect, you can come along too. It's on the way!"
Senior Brother Qin ran in following a yellow dog, which had an unknown oil packet in its mouth!
"Stop! Stop! I went through so much trouble to queue up and buy this!"
Noticing the change in scenery, Qin Che then addressed the group of people in front of him: "Junior Sister Xiao Jiu! Senior Sister Jin Su!"
"Junior Brother Qin Che, it's been a long time!" As the sect leader's disciple and the deputy peak master's personal disciple, the two had interacted before, mainly in business dealings!
"long time no see!"
Qin Che casually stared at the yellow dog that was slowly calming down beside Yan Yang. With agile movements, he snatched the oil packet back from the dog's mouth: "You know this dog? It's incredibly fast. I chased it at full speed, but I still couldn't catch up!"
"Senior Brother Qin Che, what did you buy?"
Cheng Jiu thought he smelled something very fragrant.
"It's fish cake! Fish cake! It's very popular, and there's a long line! I waited for ages!"
Qin Che opened the oil paper package in his hand, and the pastries, glistening with tempting golden oil, sat obediently inside!
"Junior sister, want some? I just got my turn in line, and this yellow dog snatched it away before I even had a chance to try it!"
"Wait a minute, Senior Brother Qin Che!" Cheng Jiu is now extremely sensitive to the word "fish"! For example, those fish eggs that parasitize the yang orifice.
"Is this alright?"
This question was directed at Yan Yang!
Seeing Cheng Jiu stop him, Qin Che, despite having been looking forward to it for a long time and really wanting to try it, still stopped what he was doing and dared not make any rash moves!
Yan Yang reached out to the fish cake, but under Qin Che's tense and disgusted gaze, Yan Yang only picked up one piece of fish cake and did not touch the others.
"Can she eat this?" Seeing this, Qin Che felt relieved and asked Yan Yang curiously as she held the fish cake.
"Senior brother, how rude of me!" Cheng Jiu complained.
"Sorry! Sorry!" Qin Che said quickly.
Yan Yang shook his head, not caring.
The fish in her hand slowly sank into her body, and the pastries scattered and decomposed within her transparent body.
Yan Yang closed her eyes as if trying to discern something, and soon, she opened them amidst the expectant gazes of everyone.
"This fish cake is indeed strange. It contains trace amounts of fish roe powder. Eating a small amount is fine, but eating too much will distort one's mind!"
