Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"Thanks!"

Chu Wuji left the canteen kitchen and returned to the table where his companions were. After a brief chat, he borrowed some land in Xiaoyao Valley to practice and improve his sword skills.

As a major sword cultivation sect, Xiaoyao Valley boasts a sword enlightenment center capable of capturing and retaining sword intent, ensuring its longevity. Countless predecessors have left their sword marks here, each representing a distinct sword intent. This is one of Xiaoyao Valley's strengths.

Sword-cultivating disciples of Xiaoyao Valley can hone their sword skills here and compete with those of their predecessors.

According to the rules, outsiders are not allowed to approach this place, and this is the case with Chu Wuzhi and others. Even if Ning Xianzhi and Jiuwu Taoist speak up, it will be of no use.

But there are exceptions to everything!

This exception occurred when Chu Wuzhi said that he wanted to catch river fish through practice and then transport the ingredients to the canteen in Xiaoyao Valley for cooking.

So, Chu Wuji brought Yun Qingying to practice here, while Bai Sujin, Ning Xianzhi and other great demons and cultivators consciously avoided it.

We can be flexible with the younger generation and just treat them as children coming to the sword-wielding arena to have some fun. If adults join in the fun, it will make things difficult for the sect.

The Heavenly Fox Goddess took advantage of this and was able to follow Yun Qingying and come in for a stroll together. However, apart from a few brief chats, the Heavenly Fox Goddess did not disturb the brother and sister's concentration on their practice too much.

After most of the day had passed, Chu Wuji stopped to rest, found a place to sit down, and looked at the beautiful scenery of Xiaoyao Valley to relax his mind.

Yun Qingying was still dressed in that charming black gauze dress. She sat down next to Chu Wuji, pursed her lips, and tried to ask:

“Although we are not in the Divine Heaven Sect now, we should be on the mountain…”

Chu Wuji smiled. Why did this girl like to dwell on this? This time, he didn't care and gave up.

"Okay, okay, now you are the senior sister and I am the junior brother~"

Yun Qingying nodded and said, "Junior brother, do you really want to confront the Skywrath Dragon Palace head-on?"

Chu Wuji had no hesitation or regret in this matter. He knew that Yun Qingying was worried and concerned, so he comforted her:

"Trying to resonate with the rivers is essential to my practice. It's something I'll have to face sooner or later. Let's start with these aquatic creatures. Besides, the monk can escape, but the temple cannot. It's the other party who dares not rashly leave the Tiannu River. I can leave whenever I want."

I'm afraid they'll just stay in the water and refuse to show up. That would be a real headache for me!"

A casual cultivator like Chu Wuji, whose power is unknown, can be regarded as a social idler in the world of immortal cultivation. He beats people up and runs away. His identity, background, and methods are unknown, and the other party cannot rashly leave their nest to hunt him down. He is a nightmare for any hostile force.

Yun Qingying was inexplicably impressed. She was not shy about expressing this feeling. Her calm tone was filled with genuine emotion:

"You're truly impressive! Facing powerful beings from the aquatic world, you remain unshaken... Previously, I was worried that you would miss out on the chance to cultivate to immortality due to various mishaps."

Chu Wuji chuckled. He could understand the girl's feelings. It must be the complicated emotions she felt when she saw her friend coming from behind and daring to do something she herself didn't dare to do.

Just last autumn, when Chu Wuji encountered her again in the woods, he had to ask her to cast a spell to heal the little fox's teeth. Yun Qingying was much stronger now than she was then, but in terms of combat power, Chu Wuji was currently superior.

He was a little surprised. In his impression, Yun Qingying was a very competitive girl. She had been worried about the humility during the competition for a long time.

Now I can say such words of admiration so calmly!

Chu Wuji tried to appease her, "You and the water tribe's power are both within the realm of cultivators. You're definitely not as powerful as those old turtles. But Qingying, you joined the immortal family a few years later than Miss Yang He. Your cultivation should be higher than hers now, right?"

The girl nodded. She did not feel complacent because her cultivation had surpassed her peers.

Yang He entered the immortal family five or six years earlier than himself, but he started practicing from scratch after entering Xiaoyao Valley. He did not receive strict training since childhood. It was a normal growth path for a cultivator. He made steady progress and established himself firmly in the immortal family. He himself had an extra "welfare period" of accumulating strength and then making a breakthrough. After a few years, the speed of improvement would slow down.

Yun Qingying's eyes were cold and she thought for a moment, as if she had something important to say:

"Call me Senior Sister, you're secretly calling me by my name again!"

She really pays attention to detail...

"Sister."

Chu Wuzhi replied, then hugged the girl beside him into his arms and let Yun Qingying sit on his lap. She was a little flustered and stunned.

"What are you doing!" Yun Qingying's face subconsciously looked fierce, and the look in her beautiful eyes was even more fierce, but her body did not make any move to dodge.

"Senior Sister Yun admires my courage and determination, but I'm still under tremendous pressure. I want to touch your fox tail to relieve the pressure. Is that okay?"

This sounded like teasing, but Chu Wuji did have the idea of ​​relieving stress.

The water people left the rivers and only lost the powerful blessing, but they are still powerful cultivators. It is self-deception to say that there is no pressure.

Chu Wuji simply trusted that his elders could take him away safely in the worst-case scenario, saving him from having to worry about his life.

Yun Qingying paused, then nodded in agreement: "You can touch the ears, but not the tail. It feels weird."

Now, the tail's sensory touch is connected to her.

Chu Wuji didn't force it, but instead touched the fox's ears. Relying on the exquisite skills he had previously trained on the Sky Fox Goddess, he grabbed the furry white fox ears and rubbed them.

The fox ears are slightly less sensitive, but they still give off a tingling sensation that reaches the heart of the beautiful and elegant girl in the black dress.

She tucked her hands into her sleeves and clenched them quietly. A blush appeared on her fair face. She tried her best to remain calm, but her slightly trembling eyebrows revealed her inner patience.

"Stop touching my ears. It's getting annoying... Junior Brother, would you like to temporarily 'light up' the light ball in your body? Any increase in strength would be great."

Girl, why do you jump around so much?

Chu Wuji stopped rubbing his ears and asked angrily, "I'm running out of air and blood. How am I going to face the enemies of the water tribe? Am I going to pretend to be old, weak, and sick?"

"Has it recovered...?"

Yun Qingying had this idea last time and even asked her master Ning Xianzhi about it. At that time, Ning Xianzhi did not strongly reject it, but only said, "Master, I will go and see his condition," and then there was no further news.

This should mean tacit consent, right?

Chu Wuzhi looked at Yun Qingying subtly, feeling that this girl wanted to kill him.

Now that the three mothers are gathered together, the matter of Tiannu River has distracted their attention, and they can barely maintain the surface of calm.

Yun Qingying did this at this time, fearing that his life would be too good!

However, this girl also has good intentions, Chu Wuji could only say kindly:

"Even if I recuperate, I can't immediately return to my peak state. It can only speed up my recovery. Besides, this is Xiaoyao Valley's territory, so it's not suitable for me to mess around!"

"That's fine."

Yun Qingying did not force it, stood up and left his arms, and continued to return to the countless sword marks, trying to comprehend the predecessors' understanding of the sword intent.

......

After two days of rest and preparation, the monks from Xiaoyao Valley brought back information from outside.

"Is there anything urgent?"

"The water tribe soldiers from the Tiannu River basin have all come ashore openly. They've been talking a lot, but they haven't spoken human language, and the people haven't been able to understand them."

"..."

"Fortunately, I happened to meet a water soldier and arrested him for questioning. Only then did I know that it was the Sky Wrath Dragon Palace that was making the threats." The monk from Xiaoyao Valley relayed the content of the message.

Upon learning that the Skywrath Dragon Palace had specifically named Xiaoyao Valley, Chu Wuji felt extremely guilty. He felt as if he had dragged Xiaoyao Valley into his troubles.

At the same time, he also knew that it was time to go back. After two days of sharpening his sword, he still felt that it was not enough, but this was not a reason to avoid it.

*

Half a day later, Chu Wuzhi and his group returned to Diaolongkou area.

The river here broke its banks and flooded the ground. The people who didn't have time to escape could only hide in the mountains.

Chu Wuji's gaze subconsciously turned to the White Snake Temple, which had become like an isolated island, surrounded by spring floods, with a ruined temple standing there.

"Qingying, go to the White Snake Temple and descend."

After Chu Wuji finished speaking, the girl led him to land on the isolated island with the ruined temple.

Ning Xianzhi and Jiuwu Taoist were not in the team. They flew upstream to block the flow of water.

The White Snake and the Green Snake were naturally accompanying their younger generations, and they shrank into Chu Wuzhi's sleeves again.

Aunt Green Snake looked at the flood and felt nostalgic: "I'm back! Hundreds of years ago, this place was flooded like this! But back then, it was only prone to flooding in the summer. Spring floods were much less common."

Bai Sujin didn't want to complain about her sister's strange feelings. She looked at her son and asked:

"How do we get the aquatic creatures out now? I wonder if the people in the Skywrath Dragon Palace can hear me if I shout from here."

Chu Wuji felt that this was not a problem, he patted his chest:

"Leave it to me. I can lure the dragon out of the river without any orders! That's why I brought the dragon head of the Heavenly Dragon Monk here."

He looked to his side and saw the huge dragon head placed next to it. One end of the dragon tendon was tied into the dragon's nose in the same way as tying a cow's nose.

Chu Wuji used his internal energy to create a fishing rod and tied the other end of the dragon tendon to the rod.

Finally, he used the dragon head as bait, kicked it into the surging flood, stood by the water and began fishing.

"I really want to see if you can really catch a dragon by fishing in its mouth!"

Chapter 242: Kill the dragon wherever there is one

The sky was dark and gloomy, with rain clouds rolling in. The river rushed past in front of us, washing the earth.

After Chu Wuzhi cast his rod and put the bait, only a cup of tea had passed when the flood suddenly became turbulent, the water level rose, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks sounded like drums.

After receiving a warning a few days ago about the aquatic creatures coming ashore, the people of the Tiannu River basin had already taken shelter in high places, carrying enough dry food. Those who feared death fled to the nearby mountains, while those who couldn't bear to leave their belongings climbed onto rooftops to live and die together.

The people's lives were not in danger for the time being, but they felt despair as they looked at the surging flood, which swept away mud, trees, and livestock.

"The last time there was such a terrible flood was forty years ago. We thought it would never happen again!"

"Did the Dragon King Temple's sacrifice go wrong? Why is the Nu River raging again? Last year, there was an autumn flood, and the harvest was half gone..."

"Look! Did anyone see it just now? There are huge dragons in the water, lots of them!"

White Snake Temple is on the isolated island,

One of Yun Qingying's beautiful eyes slowly turned into a charming and alluring fox eye in the blink of an eye, and the voice of the Heavenly Fox Goddess rang out:

"Looks like you've had a rare opportunity to catch a big fish, young master! We'll have to find a time to have a banquet to celebrate!"

Aunt Green Snake was skeptical about this and she was watching the water:

"Although this is Wu Ji's provocation, using the head of the Tianlong Monk to show off his power and lure the aquatic creatures out, it's been so long and there's only water coming out, but no fish are taking the bait."

What I fear most is this kind of situation. If after waiting for half a day, the reaction of the Sky Wrath Dragon Palace is to double the water level and not respond or show up, it would be very embarrassing!

The situation of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, who were already frightened and suffering, has become even worse.

When Chu Wuzhi cast the rod, his movements were graceful and he was full of confidence. Now that he was criticized by the two elders, he felt scared.

This can't be done, right?

It’s a bit too much that I can’t even take the bait once!

"Aunt, give me that military seal. I think I need to bless it. The golden-haired beast's good fortune is backfiring on me!"

As soon as Chu Wuji finished speaking, his eyes lit up, the muscles in his arms suddenly tensed, and the Qi fishing rod was bent like a fully drawn bow.

Something's biting, big one!

Yun Qingying's eyes were fixed on the turbid flood, and vaguely it seemed as if a huge and slender black shadow passed by!

At the same time, a woman's majestic voice came from the flooded river, echoing between heaven and earth:

[Very well, beasts of the earth, is this how you return my seventh brother?!]

He finally managed to escape his lowly body and regain his memory, but you chopped off his head!

Chu Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had lured everyone out. He started with the lines he had prepared in advance:

"You're wrong. Not only did we chop off his head, we also braised it, hot potted it, stir-fried it, and steamed it!"

[Very good, you are predestining your own death!]

Underwater, the eldest daughter of the Dragon Palace appeared in the form of a dragon, and her slender dragon body circled under the river. As her murderous intent became stronger, several waterspouts gradually swirled out of the river, shattering the hard rocks.

The water droplets splashed out from the waterspout are like thousands of hidden weapons and sharp blades!

Suddenly, the Xuanyin Water Dragon's attention was focused on the Seventh Prince's dragon head. She seemed to have just heard a dragon's roar and the faint breath of a dragon.

A glimmer of hope dawned on her: "Could it be a strand of Seventh Brother's soul?! He's not completely dead yet. There's still a chance for him to rise from the loach and cultivate another life!"

Thinking of this, Xuanyin Water Dragon discovered that the thief above was raising the fishing rod. He was probably also surprised to find that the Seventh Prince was still alive, and hurried to take back the "bait".

How could the royal dragon that could control water tolerate the seventh brother's soul being taken away again?

She chased the bait and flew over to bite it. The moment she bit the dragon's head, the Xuanyin Water Dragon was pulled out of the river by the brutal force. The dragon's eyes were checking the face of the person who was ignorant of the danger.

A young man in a black robe stood on the shore of an isolated island. The tide blew his white hair sideways, and his robe fluttered in the wind, but his feet were still as still as a mountain and steady as a pine tree.

When their eyes met, Xuanyin Water Dragon saw excitement in the eyes of the tiny beast. It was the excitement and joy of a villain having succeeded in his evil plan!

[Beast, do you think that if I leave the river, I will become like one of those pitiful fish out of water?]
