save the bachelors

Chapter 5136-5139 [Helping Others Achieve Their Goal]

After helping Mao Mao get married, Xiang Nan went to the underwater city.

He knew that there was a "Holy Spirit Pearl" in the underwater city.

The Holy Spirit Pearl is the most precious treasure of the Nuwa clan, possessing boundless magical power.

According to the game, the Holy Spirit Orb is the dwelling place of the sacred souls of the Nuwa clan after their deaths. As descendants of Nuwa, the Nuwa clan, upon reaching perfection in their cultivation, are beings comparable to Nuwa herself.

However, the Nuwa clan is prone to emotional attachments and is also extremely prone to pregnancy. Once a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth, the Nuwa clan will quickly decline.

This resulted in the Nuwa clan dying before they could complete their cultivation, and since Nuwa's death, no one of great strength has ever appeared in the Nuwa clan.

Even so, Zixuan, Qing'er, and Zhao Ling'er's magical powers are all top-notch.

After cultivating for over ten years, Zhao Ling'er was able to perish together with the Moon Worship Cult Leader who had merged with the Water Demon Beast; Qing'er was also able to suppress the Water Demon Beast on her own; and Zi Xuan was also able to fight dozens of rounds with Chonglou, the strongest person in the Six Realms.

Therefore, the sacred souls of the Nuwa clan from all generations gathered in one place, demonstrating the immense magical power contained within the Holy Spirit Pearl.

When Xiang Nan arrived at the underwater city, he saw a statue of a goddess standing there.

He knew that the goddess's name was Shui Bi, and that she was the goddess of the heavens who was in charge of all the rivers and streams in the world.

She became a deity here because she fell in love with the singing of the mortal Xifeng.

It turns out that there was a small fishing village called Anxi Village next to the underwater city, and a young man in the village named Xifeng. Although he was ugly, his voice was very beautiful.

During his breaks from fishing, he would sing to the conch shells, and over time, the conch shells retained the song of the stream breeze. These conch shells were then obtained by the Water Goddess who ruled over all the rivers in the world.

When she heard Xifeng's singing, she couldn't help but fall in love with him. So she secretly escaped from the Heavenly Realm to the mortal world and found Xifeng.

However, Xi Feng was afraid of being disliked by Shui Bi because of his ugly appearance, so he dared not meet her. Therefore, he prayed to the Demon Lord Chonglou, hoping that he would give him a handsome appearance.

Chonglou agreed, but on the condition that Xifeng serve him for five hundred years and that he also take away Xifeng's most prized possession: his voice. Thus, Xifeng became Chonglou's subordinate.

Meanwhile, Shui Bi built an underwater city in the sea next to Anxi Village, waiting patiently for Xi Feng's return. Centuries have passed, and she has turned into a stone statue.

……

Xiang Nan knew that Shui Bi possessed the seashell containing the Holy Spirit Pearl. To obtain this seashell, he had to awaken her first. And to awaken her, he needed to find Xi Feng, for only his voice could rouse Shui Bi.

Therefore, Xiang Nan immediately opened a portal and arrived in the Demon Realm.

"Who dares to trespass into the Demon Realm? Ah, it's you again?" The Demon Realm guards were all startled when they saw Xiang Nan.

When Xiang Nan first entered the Demon Realm, he single-handedly subdued the entire demon army; he was truly amazing.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble today," Xiang Nan said. "Take me to see your Demon Lord."

"..." The demon soldiers looked at each other, none of them daring to agree on their own.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan no longer stood on ceremony and asked loudly, "Demon Lord Chonglou, an old friend has come to visit, aren't you going to come out and greet him?"

The sound carried far and wide, and in an instant, the entire Demon Realm heard it.

"Fei Peng, you have already defeated me, what are you doing in the Demon Realm? Are you here to mock me?" A moment later, a black shadow flew over at lightning speed; it was none other than the Demon Lord Chonglou.

"Don't say that. Over the years, haven't you been the one provoking me?" Xiang Nan laughed. "Back then, who came to the God Realm to challenge me to a duel? Who destroyed the Demon Locking Tower and retrieved the Demon Sword? Who went to the Netherworld to ambush me and Xu Changqing? ...Wasn't it all you who took the initiative to provoke me?"
"What, now that I'm the one looking for you, you think I'm making fun of you? You, a dignified Demon Lord, have such a double standard!"

Chonglou was speechless after Xiang Nan said that.

For many years, he had indeed longed to challenge Fei Peng and Jing Tian to a duel.

He destroyed the Demon-Sealing Tower and seized the Demon Sword because this Demon Sword belonged to Long Yang and was also the possession of Jing Tian after his reincarnation, containing powerful spiritual energy. Therefore, he wanted to give the Demon Sword to Jing Tian so that he could duel with him.

He went to the Netherworld to ambush Jing Tian and Xu Changqing, hoping to have another match there to see who was stronger. Therefore, now that Xiang Nan was coming to him, he really shouldn't have reacted too much.

……

"Alright, what do you want from me?" Chonglou asked Xiang Nan after a moment of surprise.

At this moment, Chonglou's deputy general, Xifeng, also arrived with his demon soldiers.

He was afraid that Xiang Nan would harm the Demon Lord, so he summoned the entire Demon Army.

But no matter how many demonic soldiers there are, they are useless against unparalleled masters like Xiang Nan and Chong Lou.

“Simple.” Xiang Nan smiled and pointed to Xi Feng, “I hope you can give his voice back to him.”

"What?!" Chonglou was stunned.

Xi Feng was also taken aback, not understanding why Xiang Nan would make such a request.

“I know a woman who has been waiting for him for a long time,” Xiang Nan explained. “And I’m the kind of person who likes to help others achieve their goals, so I hope I can help her fulfill her wish.”

Upon hearing Xiang Nan's words, Chong Lou immediately understood that Xiang Nan was referring to the goddess Shui Bi.

Xifeng was even more shocked on the spot.

"What if I don't agree?" Chonglou asked.

“I know you lost to me twice and you’re definitely not convinced. You think I’m better than you in terms of skill, and that I might not be able to win in a pure martial arts contest,” Xiang Nan said. “As long as you return Xi Feng’s voice to him, I’ll agree to a pure martial arts contest with you to see who is stronger.”

Upon hearing this, Chonglou was greatly intrigued.

After two rounds of competition, he had to admit that Xiang Nan's skill was indeed far superior to his.

Xiang Nan could send him flying far away with a casual punch.

Therefore, in terms of skill, he is indeed no match for Xiang Nan.

However, if we disregard skill and focus solely on technique, he doesn't believe his twin swords are inferior to Xiang Nan's longsword.

“Alright, it’s a deal.” Chonglou nodded and then cast a spell to return Xifeng’s voice to him.

……

“Come with me,” Xiang Nan said to Xi Feng, then opened a portal to the underwater city. “That woman has been waiting for you for far too long.”

Xi Feng immediately followed Xiang Nan.

When he arrived at the underwater city and saw the azure stone statue, tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

This was the woman he loved most, but he abandoned her for hundreds of years for the sake of his appearance.

Over the centuries, not a single day has passed without his regrets and longing.

"Shui Bi, it's me, it's Xi Feng. Can you hear my voice?" Xi Feng came to Shui Bi and stroked her.

"Sing her a song, she'll really want to hear it," Xiang Nan suggested.

Shui Bi nodded, and then began to sing a beautiful ballad.

His singing voice was indeed ethereal and melodious, the most moving voice in the world.

Upon hearing the sound of the stream breeze, the stone statue that Shui Bi had transformed into developed cracks, and then the stone shell shattered, revealing the true appearance of the goddess Shui Bi.
