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

Such genuine gold and silver ornaments can be bought at a small stall, which can only be seen in Jiangnan and the capital, because people in other places are too poor to afford them.

Dozens of ornaments were laid out on the bed. Bai Qingyu picked up a dark blue hairpin and said, "This is nice. It suits you very well."

Zhen Tian took the hairpin, examined it carefully and was very satisfied, then put it in her hair.

"Sister, does this look good?"

"Of course it looks good!"

"Why did my sister buy so many accessories for Xiaoya?"

"Because I want to teach her a lesson. When she wakes up tomorrow, I'll put all these on her body and let her know what's what. People shouldn't be greedy; be careful not to be greedy."

As Bai Qingyu was speaking, she carefully put away a phoenix hairpin.

While it's true that you can discipline a child, to be fair, these little things are really nice. What girl could resist so much jewelry? Even a succubus would be no exception.

After selecting a few items, some of which belonged to her and some to Zhentian, Bai Qingyu put the rest away. She kept fiddling with the little trinkets in her hands, liking them no matter how she looked at them.

"Sister, was that little girl named Goldfish Princess from the Arakawa area during the day?"

"Yes, it's a little monster from the Arakawa River. I don't know why it ran away on its own. I must say, this girl is really cute. Xiaoya's face isn't as round as hers."

Will she come again tomorrow?

"I'm not sure, but if she's still able to come tomorrow, then she's definitely not just here to hang out with me."

Bai Qingyu took off all the ornaments from her head and played with them in her hands.

"Why do you say that?"

“She snuck out this time, and the Lord of Arakawa will definitely know. Since he knows, will he let her out again tomorrow? Unless he has a mission and has no choice but to let her out.”

Stretching, Bai Qingyu removed Bai Xiaoya's feet from her stomach, then reached out and extinguished the oil lamp, plunging the room into darkness.

"Go to sleep, goodnight."

Bai Qingyu didn't know if the Goldfish Princess would come. The next morning, she pulled Xiaoya out of bed, took out all the jewelry she had bought the day before, and pinned them all to the little girl's head. To make it easier, she even tied Xiaoya's hair into two buns.

As a result, the two little balls were covered with ornaments stuck in a crooked way, which looked quite ugly.

The key point is that these ornaments are quite heavy when combined; Bai Xiaoya felt as if her head had become a size larger.

Seeing her pitiful look, Bai Qingyu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You're the one who wanted to buy this, so don't cry, absolutely don't cry! You've already promised your mother, you can't go back on your word, you can't do something so untrustworthy."

While Bai Qingyu was still playing with her daughter, the Goldfish Princess set off carrying many aquatic treasures.

Unlike yesterday, I was stopped by several cultivators not long after I stepped out today.

Volume Two: Journey Through the Demon Scroll: Chapter Twelve - Conversation with the Lord of Arakawa

The Arakawa River is in a semi-sealed state. The Four Symbols Sect is trying to force the water demons of the Arakawa River to escape, weakening the river's power as much as possible. The demons that escape through this opening can go anywhere they want, even to Tongzhou.

It proved to be effective; after a month of lockdown, dozens of demons escaped from Arakawa. Keep in mind that there are only a few hundred demons in the entire Arakawa region, not even a thousand.

The reason the little goldfish was able to get out of the blockade was because of this; they deliberately didn't stop the goldfish princess yesterday.

The problem today is that Princess Goldfish went out and then came back, and then wanted to go out again.

Such behavior is intolerable, especially since Princess Goldfish is one of their targets. They were careless yesterday and didn't notice her, but they caught her today. Princess Goldfish won't be able to escape now.

Not only the Goldfish Princess, but any demons around the Lord of Arakawa are within the Four Symbols Sect's capture range. If they can be captured, great; if not, they will be killed to provoke the Lord of Arakawa and throw him into disarray.

Five cultivators appeared simultaneously, and without saying a word, they launched their attacks directly at the Goldfish Princess.

Goldfish was still holding the gift it was going to give to Bai Qingyu. Its short legs kicked a few times in a row, and its small body was unusually agile, easily dodging various spells. However, while it could dodge fixed spells, it could not dodge flying magical artifacts.

A huge Xuanwu jade pendant flew over, and it seemed as if the figure of a Xuanwu appeared. It turned a corner in the sky and hurled itself straight at the Goldfish Princess. The force of the blow was clearly intended to kill her.

Princess Goldfish is still young and doesn't usually like cultivating, so her cultivation level is only at the Golden Core stage compared to human cultivators. However, among the five cultivators in front of her, three are already at the Nascent Soul stage, and the other two are at the Golden Core stage.

"I'm going to find the Divine Phoenix Queen!"

As the jade pendant struck, Princess Goldfish's pupils constricted sharply. Clutching the gift in her arms, she simply closed her eyes and roared.

hum!

The jade pendant stopped less than twenty centimeters in front of her forehead. A strong wind blew her blue hair up. The feeling that death was right in front of her made Princess Goldfish instinctively hug the thing in her arms tightly.

The pain she had imagined did not come. When her hair, which had been blown about, calmed down, she slowly opened her eyes and saw the jade pendant in front of her fly back with a whoosh.

The jade pendant was taken back, but she was now surrounded and couldn't escape.

Looking around, a goldfish following behind the Goldfish Princess was staring at these cultivators. This little goldfish was wearing a hat similar to the one worn by the Lord of Arakawa, and the Goldfish Princess had drawn two black mustaches on its mouth.

Princess Goldfish took a deep breath, still clutching the gift tightly in her arms, but her eyes were no longer as panicked as before; all that remained was anger. Although her angry appearance made her look even cuter, it had no intimidating power whatsoever.

"You scoundrels, why are you stopping me! I'm on my way to deliver a gift to Sister Shenhuang. If you stop me, Sister Shenhuang will definitely come and beat you all to death!"

Princess Goldfish was very clever and remained calm even at this moment. "Sister Divine Phoenix said she wanted some treasures and asked me to deliver them to her personally. Now you're stopping me and almost broke these treasures. If you had broken them, I would definitely have gone to Sister Divine Phoenix to complain!"

"I also want to say that you people have destroyed the waters of the Arakawa River and hindered the development of the demon race. We are all peaceful little demons, yet you still want to exterminate us, killing so many demons!"

"We are all good monsters, and we have never done anything bad. You are the ones who came here to cause trouble and even tried to drain the Arakawa River!"

Her sweet, childlike voice is indeed cute, but what she says isn't so cute.

The five cultivators looked at each other. They all knew Shenhuang and had witnessed the scene of Shenhuang destroying the Demon Subduing Sect. So when they heard Jinyu Ji's words, they were a little unsure of what to do. It would be a lie to say that they were not afraid.

It is well known that the Divine Phoenix is ​​protective of her own, protecting not only her children but also the demon race. Just look at the Nanshan demon race and Tongzhou. And Jiangnan is so close to Tongzhou, their Four Symbols Sect cannot withstand that person's wrath.

“We didn’t want to exterminate you. You are aquatic monsters, why can’t you go to other places? The waters are so vast, is the only place you can live?” The cultivator who had just thrown out the jade pendant frowned.

"Besides, it's not like our Four Symbols Sect hasn't negotiated with you. After we take the treasure, Huangchuan will return it to you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Princess Goldfish shouted at the top of her lungs, "Sister Bai Qingyu, someone is deliberately creating conflict between the demon race and the human race! Someone is going to kill demons!"

After that shout, the cultivators surrounding the Goldfish Princess almost attacked, but reason prevailed, and they restrained themselves from making a move, only able to glare at the Goldfish Princess with hatred.

After calling out, Princess Goldfish saw the angry expressions on their faces, made a face at them, ignored them, and walked forward on her own.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to talk to you bunch of bad people. I've already made an appointment with Sister Bai. If she sees that I haven't arrived by that time, she'll definitely come looking for me, and then I'll definitely tell on her."

Princess Goldfish, accompanied by a comical little goldfish, swaggered out of the encirclement of several cultivators, and none of them dared to step forward to stop her.

Failure on the mission wouldn't cost them their heads; at most, they'd be punished. But they really didn't dare gamble with Little Goldfish. Even if there was only a 10% chance, if it came true, they would definitely die.

The appearance of the Goldfish Princess also played a crucial role. All cultivators in the world know that the Divine Phoenix loves its young, and the Goldfish Princess is one of those young.

Once out of the encirclement, Princess Goldfish took off running.

Seeing this, the group could only communicate telepathically and follow up with the Goldfish Princess to see if she was telling the truth. If the Divine Phoenix was indeed in Nanquan Prefecture, then they would have an explanation for their mission failure. They could return to their sect and say that they had saved the sect, and they believed that nothing bad would happen to them, and they might even receive a reward.

Similarly, if there is no Divine Phoenix in Nanquanzhou, then the Goldfish Princess can forget about escaping.

And so, Princess Goldfish was in front, followed by a comical little goldfish, and then three cultivators flying at low altitudes, all the way to Nanquan Prefecture.

Princess Goldfish knew where Bai Qingyu lived; it was across from a tailor shop on the southern edge of the city. She had overheard them yesterday.

She jogged all the way to the south of the city. During the journey, Goldfish Princess accidentally bumped into an innocent passerby and almost fell on her butt. After such a "difficult" journey, she finally saw the rather large courtyard.

Princess Goldfish hurriedly knocked on the door, calling out "Sister White".

Not far away, five cultivators stared intently, wanting to know whether what the Goldfish Princess said was true or false.

Soon, the door was opened, but they saw nothing. They only saw a flash of platinum light before losing consciousness. When they reappeared, they were outside the city, their minds blank, having lost all their memories of the past month.

In the courtyard, Goldfish Princess was panting heavily, pointing outside with her little finger in front of Bai Qingyu, "Sister Bai, there are bad people outside!"

"There are no bad guys here. I've already checked. Maybe those bad guys have already run away."

Bai Qingyu half-squatted down and tidied up the messy bangs on Jin Yu Ji's forehead. Her gentle smile immediately dispelled all the worries and fears in Jin Yu Ji's heart, and she felt more at ease than ever before.

The usually proud and aloof Goldfish Princess was actually a little shy at this moment.

Why did you come so early?

"I, I... Oh right, I came to give Sister Bai a gift." With her round little face slightly flushed, Goldfish Princess took out the bag from her arms and opened it. Inside were pearls and gems.

"Are these all gifts for me?"

"Yes, they're all for Sister Bai."

Bai Qingyu took the items, smiled, and patted Goldfish Princess's head. "Then I'll accept them. Thank you, Goldfish Princess."

Princess Goldfish usually dislikes people touching her head because she always feels like they're treating her like a child. But with Bai Qingyu, she doesn't mind at all; she feels like she's seeing her mother.

In a daze, she followed Bai Qingyu to the stone bench, where several plates of pastries were placed in front of her.

Princess Goldfish tilted her head and saw that Bai Xiaoya's appearance was quite strange. She was sitting opposite her with a pitiful expression, as if she wanted to cry but couldn't.

Princess Goldfish's gaze lingered on the two buns on Xiaoya's head, which were adorned with hair ornaments, and she was quite puzzled.

Bai Qingyu grabbed Xiao Yao and Yu Zhuan Jin and said softly, "You two play first. Auntie has some things to do and will be back in a while."

After saying that, he went to the little snake's room, grabbed her wrist, and appeared on the riverbank outside the city under the influence of platinum power.

"Auntie, what are we doing here?"

"You've always wanted to swim in rivers, haven't you? Come on, give me a ride to Arakawa."

Upon hearing this, the little snake's eyes lit up. After tossing the little green snake to Bai Qingyu, it jumped directly into the Hejiang River and instantly transformed into its true form, a pure white dragon over thirty meters long.

Enveloped by Bai Qingyu's power, it wouldn't disturb those around it. Upon seeing the little snake in this state, those nearby would subconsciously ignore it.

The little snake raised its head high, and the sound coming from the mouth of such a huge beast was so sweet.

"Auntie, come up here."

Bai Qingyu lightly leaped onto the snake's head and sat cross-legged.

Before she could even speak, the little snake darted away with a whoosh, making a strange "whoosh" sound. Bai Qingyu sat on its head, feeling surprisingly stable, and the speed was quite fast. He reached out and touched the little snake's scales, then looked at its still somewhat immature dragon horns.

I was just lamenting that the little snake's personality wasn't gentle at all, and that none of her offspring, except for Kiyohime, seemed to have a gentle personality. But now, it seems normal. The little snake is a dragon, after all; why would she need to be so gentle?

"Auntie, what are we going to do in Arakawa?"

"Someone wants to see me, so I'm going to go and have a chat with him."

"The Lord of Arakawa?"

"Yes, that's him."
