Chapter 635: Li Yanyan Knocks Down Princess and Xie Panpan into the Water

Everyone looked in the direction Xie Pan’Er was pointing. The water was spinning, and a dark, plump object gradually emerged from the ocean.

"Is that... a black dragon beast?"

Ji Youzhi gasped, his eyes widening.

Xiaosuisui blinked and announced, "That’s a big python!"

"A py... python? Can pythons be that big? This is terrifying!"

Xie Pan’Er was still in shock, tightly clutching Xiaosuisui in her arms.

Xiaosuisui struggled to free herself from Xie Pan’Er’s grasp, taking a deep breath.

"Pretty Sister, don’t be afraid! This big python doesn’t eat people!"

"How do you know it won’t eat people? Look, it’s coming towards us! Quick, let’s hide in the cabin! We can come out after it fights the National Master and leaves!"

Scared witless, Xie Pan’Er clutched Xiaosuisui, wanting to go back to their room.

Xie Pan’Er, however, in her extreme caution against the python, failed to notice that it hadn’t actually advanced yet. What she also failed to guard against was Yanyan on their own side, who was constantly scheming to bring about Xiaosuisui’s demise.

Since the danger first appeared, Li Yanyan had hidden herself well. She possessed numerous life-saving items given to her by the National Master. Furthermore, the boatmen, sailors, and government officers were too weak, no match for Ji Youzhi and the Emperor, so she had not yet faced any real peril.

Xiaosuisui, on the other hand, was fearless and always spoiling for a fight, so she constantly captured everyone’s attention.

The Emperor, Ji Youzhi, Xie Pan’Er, and Princess Ata always watched her every move, constantly reminding her to be careful and protecting her from time to time.

This scene did not escape Li Yanyan’s notice, and jealousy flared within her.

At this moment, the black dragon beast had finally appeared. Mr. Wu and the National Master were locked in an intense battle, and the beast was heading straight for their ship. It was clear the vessel was now in extreme danger.

Xie Pan’Er, worried for Xiaosuisui’s safety, wanted to take her back to their room.

Before Xiaosuisui could object, Li Yanyan began to stir up trouble.

She stood at the outermost edge of the deck, hands gripping the railing tightly, and let out a loud cry of "Oh no!"

Everyone on board looked towards her, assuming she too was frightened. They reached out, intending to pull her to a safer place.

The person closest to her was undoubtedly Xie Pan’Er.

Xie Pan’Er, holding Xiaosuisui with one hand, reached out to Li Yanyan with the other. "Miss Li, give me your hand! I’ll take you and the Princess back to the room."

However, Li Yanyan, as if she hadn’t heard, covered her face and began to wail.

Everyone assumed she was too terrified to offer her hand to Xie Pan’Er.

Xie Pan’Er thought so too. So, even as the black dragon beast’s tail swept towards their ship, she braved the danger and stepped forward, reaching to take Li Yanyan’s small hand.

But the instant Xie Pan’Er grasped Li Yanyan’s hand, Li Yanyan suddenly grinned at her, a wide, malicious smile spreading across her face. Then, with a powerful exertion, she struck Xie Pan’Er with a palm attack!

The palm strike was imbued with profound Inner Strength and formidable power, sending Xie Pan’Er flying overboard, straight into the sea.

"Miss Xie!"

"Suisui!"

"My child!"

"Princess!"

Xie Pan’Er had been holding one of Xiaosuisui’s hands. As Li Yanyan’s unexpected attack sent her flying, she inadvertently pulled Xiaosuisui into the sea with her!

"How could this happen?" Princess Ata stared blankly at the sea’s surface, where ripples still marked the spot where Xie Pan’Er and the Princess had fallen!

"Li Yanyan! What are you doing? Why did you strike them into the sea?"

Li Yanyan stared at her own hands in disbelief, muttering, "I don’t know... I didn’t... It wasn’t me!"

"Still denying it? I never thought someone so young could be so malicious!" The Emperor was furious, a murderous intent rising within him.

Ji Youzhi stood his ground, glaring venomously at Li Yanyan. "You had better pray they’re unharmed! Otherwise, I’ll chop you into pieces and feed you to the fish!"

After roaring his threat, he leaped into the sea to search for Xiaosuisui and Xie Pan’Er.

The Emperor, standing on deck, was also about to jump in, but Princess Ata grabbed his arm. "Your Majesty, can you swim?"

Her question left the Emperor dumbfounded. "I... I cannot!"

"If you cannot, then please stay here and wait. They will be alright!"

Princess Ata had barely finished speaking when they saw the black dragon’s tail move in the sea.

"Look! Isn’t that the Princess?" Princess Ata asked the Emperor, pointing at the black dragon’s tail.

The Emperor looked closely and was stunned. His precious daughter was riding on the black dragon’s tail, reaching her small hand into the water.

"What...what is she doing? That black dragon is dangerous!"

Princess Ata shook her head. "No! That black dragon might be dangerous to others, but for the Princess, it might actually be a source of help!"

"Help... a source of help?"

"Has Your Majesty forgotten about the Princess’s... unique ability with words?"

A ’BANG!’ seemed to go off in the Emperor’s head, as if his skull had cracked. "That’s right! So, has Xiaosuisui tamed that black dragon?"

The Emperor’s heart settled with immense relief as he watched Xiaosuisui pull Xie Pan’Er onto the black dragon’s back, with Ji Youzhi quickly swimming up towards them. He could finally relax.

"Wonderful! Suisui has tamed the black dragon! We should be able to pass through Black Water Ridge safely now," Ji Youzhi said with great relief as he climbed back on board.

"But the National Master and Mr. Wu are still fighting up in the sky!" the Emperor said to Ji Youzhi, pointing towards their battle.

"I don’t possess the National Master’s profound Power; I can’t levitate like that, so I’m unable to help him!"

Ji Youzhi had just finished speaking when they heard Mr. Wu’s incredulous voice cry out, "How is this possible? How could you two little children tame the black dragon? Impossible! The black dragon should have been your doom! Why were you able to subdue it?"

Mr. Wu’s voice, filled with utter astonishment, reached them, and everyone could easily imagine his terror.

"And why couldn’t I tame the black dragon? Besides, it’s not a dragon; it’s a python! A massive python that has slumbered for many years and hasn’t even become a true dragon yet, alright!" Xiaosuisui, sitting on the black python’s back, loudly corrected Mr. Wu.

Xie Pan’Er, however, was trembling violently. "Princess! Can you... can you carry me and fly... Fly! Let’s fly back to the ship before we talk anymore! I’m truly... truly terrified this giant python will devour us!"

Xie Pan’Er was incredibly anxious. In this moment, her mind suddenly became remarkably clear, and she remembered how her Princess loved to fly.
