In the days that followed, although the merfolk advertised that guests could freely visit each other's territories, in reality, most of the guests were so exhausted after the first week that they needed to drink highly nourishing soup.

The one who actually went from house to house was the mermaid girl.

Therefore, after bathing with Su Yan, Jiao Nanwu, flipping through the precautions in the Merfolk Reproduction Manual, smiled and invited Su Yan to lie down on the bed.

"Yes, our body temperature changes with the environment. After a while, the room will get warmer and won't be cold anymore."

Jiao Nanwu sat sideways on the bed with her cheeks flushed, opened her fair palm and touched Su Yan's cheek.

………………

"Smack, smack. What's that?"

Black medicine rained down from the sky, splashing onto the black fish monster and the tadpole demon. The black fish monster stuck out its tongue and licked the water that had been splashed on its cheek.

"Huh? Why do I feel a bit of a kick in?"

Although the ingredients of the medicine were unknown, after the black fish monster licked it, the whole fish, which had been lying flat, transformed into a half-demon form and sat in the pond, smacking its lips. It felt as if all the muscles in its body were bulging, as if it had inexhaustible energy.

Something's not right.

The black fish monster and the black tadpole, after lightly licking the black medicine, immediately entered a state of blood rage, their entire bodies turning as red as boiled shrimp.

The secret medicine of the Merfolk is as potent as igniting oil; it was never intended for normal living beings to take on a daily basis, but rather to replenish deficiencies.

They forcibly reconstructed a human form from a dried corpse to decorate the facade of the merfolk.

This stuff is so common in the Merfolk territory that Jiao Nanwu felt it had no medicinal effect, so she prepared eighty servings for Su Yan in one go.

Meanwhile, in the house next door, Princess Wuxi, who had just bathed and had a late-night snack, stared at the two celestial natives outside the window, who were frantically digging in the dirt.

"What are they doing?"

Under the watchful eyes of Princess Wuxi, the two monsters moved with incredible speed and cleaned up the pond's trash. They pounded the ground with their fists to compact the soil, and before midnight had even passed, they had filled the pond with water and built a home.

Then several strange plant spirits, their bodies ablaze with fire, jumped out of the pond.

Chapter 518 Red Clouds and White Silk

"Well"

At dawn, the little fox perched atop the peak slowly opened its eyes, looked at the slightly flushed, sleeping Jiao Nanwu, stretched out its body, and yawned: "I'm a little tired from working overtime."

Jiao Nanwu was lying on the bed, wearing only a few slightly ambiguous pieces of cloth that did not cover anything, and could even be said to make her look more charming and captivating.

Jiao Nanwu's physique in winter was absolutely the best Su Yan had ever seen. Of course, the physique mentioned here refers to a normal human appearance; otherwise, it couldn't compare to those two or three-meter-tall merfolk.

Last night, Su Yan obediently followed Sister Nanwu's instructions and lay on the bed, maintaining his little fox-human form to enjoy the bone-setting massage, and then manifesting his four-tailed fox form as a young human for a intimate moment.

Jiao Nanwu was also worried that Su Yan would get tired, so she didn't push Su Yan to the point of exhaustion.

After taking one round each for the fox and the scenery, Jiao Nanwu placed the little fox in front of him so that he could rest well.

"Let's find something to eat."

After covering Jiao Nanwu with a blanket, Su Yan, still in her fox form, leaped from the windowsill and landed on the ground in the courtyard. She headed towards the kitchen, intending to find something to eat to fill her stomach before going to play with the princess.

"Squeak~ Squeak—"

As Su Yan stepped into the main courtyard, he saw a group of monkeys standing in front of the pond, scratching their heads and looking puzzled at the landscape sculptures that had been completed and placed in the pond.

"This is."

Su Yan was astonished, completely unaware that the pond, which had been used to dump construction waste just last night, had been completed overnight, and that a strange creature with a dragon's body and a human head, carved from rock, was placed on the surface of the water.

"Squeak-"

When the monkey saw that Su Yan had come, it gave him a helpless explanation.

Nobody knows which bastard caused this trouble. According to the fox mother's idea, this viewing pool doesn't need to be decorated with dragons and foxes. All that's needed is to pave the bottom of the pool with pebbles, introduce a stream of running water, decorate the surface with some lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and raise a few small fish demons.

Now, things have gotten really messy. Overnight, the pond is filled with dark reddish-brown hot water, and an artificial hill has been built. There's even an unknown creature perched on top of the artificial hill.

Isn't this just asking for trouble? We'll have to make these construction workers pump out the water and dismantle the artificial mountain later. The clever monkey couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Is it that strange?"

Su Yan looked at the bottom of the pond with a suspicious expression. If he remembered correctly, when he parted with the princess last night, he vaguely heard the princess say that she would throw the two native immortals into the pond.

Therefore, the scenery in the pond was likely created by the two demons overnight to please people.

After figuring this out, Su Yan shook her head and continued walking into the kitchen.

………………

Su Yan ate a little something to fill her stomach, and then ran to Princess Wuxi's room to have breakfast with her.

"How did you get burned?"

Su Yan and the princess walked outside together. The female official, following the princess's instructions, came to pick up two native immortals. However, when the female official saw the two demons, she was slightly surprised.

The two native demons of the celestial realm were half-dead, their bodies limp and lifeless, with faint traces of smoke and fire visible on some parts of their bodies.

She and the princess watched the two demons go mad at night, but after the princess had her midnight snack, they closed the doors and windows to prevent outside noise from disturbing her rest.

"Maybe it's because I'm not used to the environment? I fought with those plant demons at the bottom of the pond last night," the tadpole demon replied to the female official's question, forcing himself to stay alert.

"Plant monsters can breathe fire?"

The female official looked suspicious, but seeing the princess and Su Yan walking further and further away, she didn't care about these things. After all, they were just two minor demons at the Golden Core stage, and they wouldn't cause any big trouble.

………………

"It will take about half an hour."

Once outside the Jishan territory, Su Yan took out his floating city, set the destination, and said something to the princess.

Whether it's the demon realm or the Qingqiu Kingdom, both are sparsely populated areas with few shops; the forests are filled only with demon clans.

Thinking about drinking tea and eating meat in an inn or shop, without any cultivation, one would literally have to run their legs off physically.

The nearest town to the territory of the Yousu clan is on the shore of Qinghai Lake, the largest water source in the Qingqiu Kingdom. There, a trading town where various ethnic groups live together is located.

If it weren't for the fact that it was so far away from the City of Ten Thousand Demons, Su Yan would actually prefer to go to the bustling City of Ten Thousand Demons.

Unfortunately, due to the needs of the Pride Insect Clan and to prevent outsiders from stealing resources through teleportation arrays, there are no public teleportation arrays or similar facilities set up in the Demon Clan's territory.

"Half an hour it is, there's no rush anyway."

Princess transformed into a little fox, sat down on the sun chair with her legs crossed, and continued, "Why don't we go straight to the Jade Rabbit Clan's territory after breakfast? We haven't seen Little Sugar and the others in a long time. Let's think of a way to bring them all to the You Su Clan's territory to play."

There were little foxes in the Su clan's land, but they were too young to be fooled; it was as pointless as tricking a child for candy.

But the Moon Rabbits are different. Although they are young, they can still earn spirit stones with their innate abilities. One or two gold-devouring beasts like Su Yan are enough. If she raises a few more, the princess is worried that she won't have enough spirit stones to squander.

"Perfect timing. There are also Moon Rabbit Clan healers in the Su Clan's territory. It shouldn't be too difficult to lure Little Sugar and the others here with bait and enticement."

"also."

Su Yan nodded without objection. She had been to the Moon Rabbit Clan's territory with Sister Xi'er before, so she knew the route and how to get inside the Moon Rabbit Clan's territory.

"Um!?"

Just as Su Yan and Princess Wuxi were discussing how to get to the Moon Rabbit Clan's territory, Xia Yu, the guard who had been hiding in Princess Wuxi's shadow, suddenly revealed himself and said with a serious expression:

"Your Highness, there is danger ahead. Please halt the rest of the journey for now."

Princess Wuxi was traveling with three guards inside. Two of them were Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Ministry of War, while the other was a Void Refinement stage cultivator from the Demon Suppression Division.

Cultivators at the Refinement stage are considered high-ranking elders in the cultivation world, while those at the Tribulation stage are the face of the sect. Those at the Celestial stage are considered extraordinary ancestors.

"Is there danger ahead?" Princess Wuxi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What danger?"

"I don't know, but I can clearly sense a more powerful Nightmare Suppression aura than mine lurking at the bottom of that large lake ahead," the Void Refinement stage guard said warily.

Qinghai Lake?

Su Yan subconsciously looked towards the lake. Earlier, when they were walking on the road to the Kingdom of Qingqiu, his aunt had told them some stories about the history of the Kingdom of Qingqiu, and this Qinghai Lake was one of the legends of the Kingdom of Qingqiu.

A holy spirit once perished here. Although his remains are no longer here, his blood and sweat still pollute the land of Qinghai Lake. There is a layer of brine at the bottom of the lake that would kill any holy spirit who touched it.

"crash"

As Su Yan gazed at Qinghai Lake, a beam of red light shot up from the bottom of the lake into the sky.

The bottom of Qinghai Lake seemed to be boiling, with long, red, snake-like objects emerging from the lake and spiraling upwards, dispersing all the water in the lake and creating a waterless vacuum channel.

"Zizzi"

Su Yan raised his hand to stop the floating city, and couldn't help but gasp as he looked at the red snakes.

That thing wasn't a giant snake, but rather a collection of eyes encased in something resembling a cell nucleus.

The red eyes stuck together, all clustered together to form a long snake.

Chapter 519 Magnificent Celestial Power, Vast and Unfathomable (Long Chapter)

Red light surged from the bottom of Qinghai Lake. The red eyes encased in the white transparent spheres clung together to form a large red serpent, breaking through the water's surface and swirling around the red beam of light, creating a waterless vacuum channel within the lake.

Powerful and surging energy emanated from the hollow at the bottom of the lake, radiating outwards.

"hiss"

Seeing the blinking red eyes that spiraled around the red light and parted the lake water, Su Yan almost developed trypophobia on the spot. His face was full of shock, and he gasped and said:

"The Nightmare Suppression Cult is really strange; their spells and supernatural abilities all look more frightening than the last."

“Indeed, she’s really too ugly.” Princess Wuxi stood up like Su Yan, looked at the strange changes happening inside Qinghai Lake, and echoed her complaint.

"The floating city is slowly retreating!"

Su Yan glanced at Qinghai Lake, but instead of stubbornly rushing forward, he ordered the floating city to lower its altitude and slowly retreat.

The princess's Void Refinement stage guard has already said that he has no way to defeat the monster at the bottom of the lake, which is very obvious proof that the thing is definitely an old monster of the Tribulation Transcending stage or the Dao Transformation True Monarch stage.

There was no way Su Yan could get close enough to watch the spectacle from such an old monster.

Just as Su Yan lowered the height of the floating city, a burst of dark red energy suddenly erupted from the hollow inside Qinghai Lake, causing the surrounding lake water to surge towards the land of Qingqiu Kingdom like ocean waves.

A creature dressed in flowing white robes, with fair skin and red markings on its forehead, slowly floated up from the bottom of Qinghai Lake, one leg crossed.
