I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

Princess Goldfish struggled fiercely and finally landed. Her little face was flushed with anger, her hands were on her hips, and she turned her head away, conveying a little sentiment of "I will never talk to you again."

The carp spirit swam to the shore and saw that Princess Goldfish had returned safely. It breathed a sigh of relief. "Princess Goldfish, where did you go during the day? Everyone was very worried about you."

The little goldfish saw everyone gathered here and naturally knew why; everyone must be looking for her.

Feeling a little guilty, she lowered her head and remained silent, otherwise she would have definitely told everyone about what happened during the day.

Then I'll throw a tantrum.

The Lord of Arakawa looked at Princess Goldfish with a deep sense of helplessness, though he hid it well. The one person he couldn't do anything about in the entire Arakawa territory was this little girl, who kept clamoring to conquer the world.

He didn't know if he could conquer the world, he didn't even know when he would die, maybe tomorrow or maybe next year.

Arakawa Territory's water eye has been targeted by that group of people. How long can I protect them?

Of course, he would not back down, even if it meant dying here.

"The human world is not suitable for us. Humans are xenophobic, and you are a demon. What will happen if your identity is discovered? You will die."

In the end, all I can say is this:

He never spouts grand theories; he simply states the facts.

"It's none of your business." Princess Goldfish pouted, but this was just a subconscious act of stubbornness.

"What did you do today in Nanquan?"

"It's just for fun."

"We didn't encounter any human cultivators, did we?"

"I didn't meet her, I just spent the whole day playing with a demon lady. Honestly, nothing happened, so why is everyone staring at me like that?"

"Demon race?"

"Yeah, there's an older sister named Bai Qingyu, she's definitely much better than you, hehe~"

Princess Goldfish stuck out her tongue and then took off the hair accessory. "Look, this is what Sister Bai bought for me."

Upon hearing the name Bai Qingyu, the Lord of the Arakawa's expression changed, his eyes becoming solemn as he remained silent. He was all too familiar with the name Bai Qingyu.

"It was her..."

Volume Two: Journey Through the Demon Book: Chapter Eleven - The Little Goldfish's Shock

Arakawa is located just below Tongzhou. Bai Qingyu doesn't usually pay much attention to outside affairs and may not know the Lord of Arakawa, but the Lord of Arakawa knows Bai Qingyu and has heard about the things Bai Qingyu has done. Some time ago, after Arakawa's water eye was targeted by that group of people and they fought several battles, he even thought about going to Tongzhou to ask Bai Qingyu for help.

It doesn't matter if he dies in battle, but after he dies, the water eye will be broken, and how will the monsters of Arakawa live?

Those humans will definitely not hold back. Once they discover that the so-called treasure is fake, they will surely slaughter the demons of the Arakawa River to minimize their losses.

Including Princess Goldfish, none of the demons will have a good ending.

However, he only thought about this idea and did not take any actual action, because he knew that Bai Qingyu had no obligation to help him, and he could not give Bai Qingyu anything good as a reward. In the end, he would have dragged Bai Qingyu into this for no reason.

"Is the Bai Qingyu you mentioned a woman who is accompanied by many young demons?"

Just to be on the safe side, Arakawa still asked, just in case he mistook it for a demon.

The world is vast, and there may be demons with the same name. Even if they don't share the same name, it's possible for a demon to impersonate that divine phoenix.

Princess Goldfish nodded. "Yes, how did you know you were following me?"

Seeing the little girl's "I've seen right through you" expression, Arakawa no Nushi felt a little tired. This girl always talked about her "ambitions" of ruling the world, but she never took any action. Let alone improving her own strength, she just played with the carp spirits every day and didn't even want to learn about the outside world.

The Divine Phoenix Goddess is right in front of you, she even told you her name, and she took you out to play all day, yet you don't even know who she is.

At this point, Arakawa realized that Bai Qingyu, whom the Goldfish Princess had mentioned, was most likely the real person.

It is said that the Divine Phoenix Goddess loves cubs, whether they are demons or humans. Isn't the Goldfish Princess just like a cub?

"Chief, do you know the older sister that Princess Goldfish mentioned?"

The carp spirit lay on the shore, supporting its cheeks with its hands.

When Princess Goldfish mentioned that name, the leader's expression changed visibly.

This name must be from a human, right? Could it be that the humans are going to attack again? Why would this person target Princess Goldfish? Could they have left something bad on her?

"I know her; she is the Divine Phoenix I told you about before."

Arakawa stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly thoughtful. He wondered if Bai Qingyu, now that she had come to Jiangnan, would know about Arakawa's situation. Had the Goldfish Princess recognized him? And should he ask her for help through her?

"A divine phoenix?" The carp spirit blinked and exchanged a glance with Ebisu beside it.

She didn't know the name Bai Qingyu, but she knew Shenhuang.

"Does Princess Goldfish spend the day with the Divine Phoenix?"

"Yes." Lord Arakawa nodded.

"So it's the Divine Phoenix Goddess. I thought she was a human cultivator. Little Sister Goldfish Princess is so lucky to have met her instead of a human cultivator. I heard that the goddess really likes children, and Little Sister Goldfish Princess is just a child."

Listening to their conversation, the Goldfish Princess was completely confused. She didn't know who the Divine Phoenix was, but she could understand what the Carp Spirit was saying next.

"I...I'm just a child. I'm going to be a great demon who rules the world in the future. Sister Carp Spirit, you're not allowed to call me a child, or I'll get angry!"

With a stomp of her little foot, Princess Goldfish is about to throw another tantrum.

"You stinky frog, what kind of look is that? Do you think I'm a little kid too?!"

Just as she was about to step forward and teach the frog porcelain a lesson for hiding to the side with her little fists, Princess Goldfish waved her two little hands, but then Arakawa pressed her head down, stopping her in place and waving her two little short hands in impotent rage.

Actually, Frog Porcelain wasn't mocking Goldfish Princess; it was simply afraid of Bai Qingyu.

He didn't always live in Arakawa. A few years ago, he hung out with Xu Yuanlang. He did almost nothing in the capital before being dragged to Bai Qingyu's side. At the time, he thought he was going to be killed by that big bird.

The mere mention of the Divine Phoenix now reignites the fear in my heart.

Once Princess Goldfish calmed down, Ebisu and the carp spirit gave her a brief account of the terrifying identity of the older sister she had met that day, and also recounted what this older sister had done in the past.

Just let her know Bai Qingyu's identity, and don't let her go out unless necessary.

To everyone's surprise, the little goldfish's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.

"Wow, is Sister Bai really that amazing?!"

"Yes, the Divine Phoenix Queen is even more powerful than I described. The Southern Mountain Demon King you mentioned going to defeat is the Divine Phoenix Queen's child."

Princess Goldfish's mouth was agape, and her excited expression made it hard not to wonder if she might leave Lord Arakawa and instead join the Divine Phoenix.

For Princess Goldfish, the Divine Phoenix is ​​probably like an idol.

"I had no idea! How did you sisters find out?"

"It was what the leader said before. It just so happened that you went out to play that day, so you weren't here." The carp spirit saw the goldfish princess's excited appearance and felt that it had completely backfired. She wanted the goldfish princess to know how dangerous it was and that the outside world was too dangerous to go out casually.

"I feel like Sister Bai is even more powerful than the villainous leader," Princess Goldfish muttered.

The Lord of Arakawa has too many names in her mouth. When she's in a good mood, she calls him things like "Bad Leader" and "Big Fool." When she's in a bad mood, she calls him "Big Dumb Guy." It can be said that she has no respect for the Lord of Arakawa as a leader. She spends all her time trying to outwit and outmaneuver him.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Arakawa calmly replied, "She is indeed much more powerful than me."

Princess Goldfish tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Sister said that Sister Bai is in Tongzhou. Isn't Tongzhou very close to us? Why don't you go to Sister Bai for help, you big idiot? We've been bullied so badly by those awful guys, and so many demons have died. Sister Bai is so gentle and kind. She even speaks softly. She will definitely help us."

"gentle?"

Lord of Arakawa wanted to say that this was all your misconception. She was only gentle to children like you. She was ruthless when it came to killing people. She didn't leave a single one of the many disciples of the Demon Subduing Sect alive.

"Yes, yes, Sister Bai is really nice. She asked me if I was lost, gave me some really delicious pastries, and even held my hand like this."

The little goldfish took out the hair accessory and the bracelet on her wrist, saying, "These were given to me by Sister Bai."

"Big oaf, let's go ask Sister Bai for help. I can plead with her on everyone's behalf. So many monsters have died in Arakawa. I don't want this to continue. They're all so pitiful."

At this point, Princess Goldfish's expression changed from happy and excited to somewhat disappointed.

In the battle with the Four Symbols Sect, Arakawa has lost countless demons. These demons may not have been Goldfish Princess's best friends, but they were still her companions. Watching her companions fall one after another before her eyes was a very painful feeling.

The war is far from over, and the current peace is only temporary. The war will break out again soon, and everyone will still fight alongside the Lord of Arakawa. Anyone could die on the battlefield: her carp spirit sister, the old goldfish man who never takes her out to play, the stinky frog who never lets her win when playing cards or mahjong, her kappa brother, her sea monk brother, and even the big oaf. They could all die.

Why are those people so fixated on Arakawa? How can we end the war quickly?

Princess Goldfish's words silenced everyone.

In their hearts, although Princess Goldfish's personality is somewhat childish and arrogant, and she is occasionally a bit conceited and likes to sulk, Princess Goldfish is still very kind at heart and will always think of others deep down.

For example, now that she knows the older sister who played with her during the day is Shenhuang, she doesn't make a fuss about finding Shenhuang and becoming Shenhuang's child. Instead, she thinks about whether she can ask Shenhuang to help them end this war as soon as possible so that everyone can return to a peaceful life.

The carp spirit was deeply moved and reached out to wipe away a tear from the corner of her eye.

Then Princess Goldfish spoke.

"If all else fails, let the carp spirit sister become Sister Bai's daughter. The carp spirit sister is so cute, Sister Bai will definitely like her very much."

Arakawa no Nushi released Kingyo-hime's head and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Tomorrow, take the gift to Nanquanzhou again and invite Shenhuang to Huangchuan as a guest. Tell her that I would like to invite her to talk about some things."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go tomorrow!"

"You must be very careful, don't stop along the way, go straight to Nanquan."

Lord of Arakawa had no other choice but to invite Bai Qingyu. It would be most sincere for him to go there in person. However, he had to stay in Arakawa because the Four Symbols Sect's blockade meant that if he went out, those guys would dare to attack directly.

Moreover, given his identity, it's not really appropriate for him to appear in Nanquanzhou, otherwise he might be targeted by other sects.

"Princess Goldfish, remember this: when you go out tomorrow, if you encounter any cultivators who try to stop you, just say that you are going to see the Divine Phoenix Goddess, who wants to adopt you as her child. This will ensure your safety."

Arakawa no Nushi, who is usually very quiet, spoke a lot today, repeatedly giving instructions.

He didn't want to harm Princess Goldfish because of his decision.

After Princess Goldfish went out, she really did encounter people from the Four Symbols Sect. However, revealing her own name was far less effective than using the name of the Divine Phoenix.

The Four Symbols Sect is not large in scale, far inferior to the major sects. They would never dare to provoke the Divine Phoenix. As long as the Golden Fish Princess said so, they would hesitate because they could not bear the wrath of the Divine Phoenix.

Princess Goldfish nodded vigorously, indicating that she had truly listened.

·

It was nighttime in a large mansion in the southern part of Quanzhou city.

After finishing dinner and taking a shower, Bai Qingyu and Zhen Tian coaxed Xiao Ya to sleep and then took out all the jewelry they had bought during the day.

It must be said that the owner is quite conscientious. The hairpins and jewels are almost all made of silver, and the gemstones on them are quite beautiful. The craftsmanship is not very good, and the overall quality is also low-grade, but the materials used are definitely not to be doubted.
