Chapter 161 Wild Beast in the Pool

Although Liu Jiawen said this in a playful tone, Lyu Liang was shocked, “Yes, if my opponent already knows what my trump card is, then it may not work well in any battle! Ji Chang had warned me about this, in the previous battle!”

At this moment, Lyu Liang clasped his hands and said respectfully, “Fairy Jiawen, thanks for your warning! I will take note of it!”

Seeing Lyu Liang taking her warning so seriously, Liu Jiawen felt somewhat flattered. She waved her hand and said, “I am just telling you my thoughts. It seemed that you didn’t use all your moves just now, and you were able to defend yourself against the hundreds of paper cranes, alone. It means that your strength is robust enough. When one is powerful enough, even if his opponent knows his moves, he will still win the battle!”

Lyu Liang nodded and raised another question, “You have saved lots of people here, and many people come to visit you. I thought my disguise was perfect enough. How did you know who I was?”

Liu Jiawen waved her hand, and then a delicate conch emerged in the air. When Lyu Liang looked confused, she said proudly, “This is the Ethereal Immortal-Sound Shell. I gave one to brother Zhu. There are altogether three shells, among which, one is the main, and the other two are subsidiaries. I’ve been keeping the main one secretly, and I used it to eavesdrop on the conversations between brother Zhu and you. Because I don’t have the Divine Soul power, I can’t let you hear my voice. You have the third one, so I immediately knew who you were, at that time!”

Lyu Liang was relieved, and then he asked, “Now that we have met, and brother Jiahao has also arrived, shall we leave now?”

Liu Jiawen had a stern look on his face and said firmly, “No! The snake monster in the pool has the last Million-Spirits Blood Pearl. As long as we can get it, brother Zhu’s strength will soon recover!”

Lyu Liang’ eyes were fixed at once, and even his breath quickened a little. He asked hastily, “Is that true?! If so, I will dive down and fetch it now! This is the last one brother Zhu needs. So, I must get it for him!”

Lyu Liang was very excited—he had been hoping to help Zhu Yu, but Zhu Yu had always been too powerful to require his assistance. So he didn’t have any chance to help Zhu Yu, who, instead, always supported him. And now this was such a good opportunity, so he naturally wouldn’t let it go!

“Idiot! If it was so easy to get, I wouldn’t have stayed here for over a year! The snake monster is very mighty, and the blood-red Field Domain itself, can constrain your cultivation below the Fairy Immortal level, while the monster is at least at the Late-stage of Xuan Immortal. Do you think you can defeat it?!” Liu Jiawen felt despair—how did Lyu Liang become such an influential figure, when he was so slow in his thinking. She found this so incredible!

Lyu Liang scratched his head sheepishly and said honestly, “I am too thoughtless. Fairy Jiawen, since you have battled with that monster, could you please give us more details?”

“Well, Wen, don’t keep us guessing. Tell us the key points quickly. We should get the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl as soon as possible!” Liu Jiahao warned, anxious to learn more about the situation.

“According to my speculation, the monster is probably a wild beast. It looks like a snake monster, is about 20 meters long, and has two wings on its back and a single horn on its head.” “Every time I dived down, although I could hold my cultivation at the Early-stage of Xuan Immortal, the monster was too powerful and frequently emitted poison gas. I could withstand it if it was pure poison, but it contained the Power of Law, which could paralyze your Divine Soul and make you feel very uncomfortable. So I could hold on for one hour at most, or I would be in danger!” Liu Jiawen was unusually serious, seemingly fearful of the monster.

“A wild beast? How could that be?! How could there be such a creature in the Mortal World?! Could it be brought here by someone from above? It doesn’t make sense! If so, we must return to the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa and report this incident. The Heavenly Alliance will send someone here to deal with it!” Liu Jiahao gasped. Even he, being such an influential figure, instantly became alert, when he discovered that it was a wild beast.

“Brother, why have you become so slow, just like this guy here? Report to the Heavenly Alliance? Indeed, they will solve the problem, but what about the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl? Will they give it to us?” Undoubtedly, Liu Jiawen was quite smart.

“The wild beast? What is it? It sounds like it doesn’t belong to the Demon Clan.” When the brother and sister were discussing this, Lyu Liang put forward his doubt.

When he heard what Lyu Liang said, Liu Jiahao lowered his voice and said, “Demons can’t rival wild beasts at all! Wild beasts are born with the power at the Fairy Immortal level, and some powerful ones can even rival Divine Ancestors! Some wild beasts have very high spiritual intelligence, while some have none. And this winged, horned snake should have spiritual intelligence. Fortunately, it is still at the Xuan Immortal level. If it grows to the Almighty Immortal level, there is nothing we can do, with our current strength! In theory, wild beasts mainly exist in the Space of Goddess Nyu Wa, and occasionally appear in the Heaven Realm of different worlds, but they shouldn’t appear in the Mortal World!”

Lyu Liang was stunned, because he had never known that there could be such a horrible existence. It seemed that it would be tricky this time.

“I couldn’t defeat the snake, so I planned to refine a Holy Soul Pill. But the resources are so scarce in the Mortal World that I’ve only collected one of the treasures I need, for a year! The Devil Spirit Herb, the Tianxuan Holy Rattans, the Purple Bright Stone, and the Silkworm Earth, none of these can be found here! If I had known this, I would have asked Grandpa Zheng for more Spirit Grass before I came down! Alas!” Liu Jiawen clapped her hand to her head, while saying this.

“The Zheng family? Does it have anything to do with Immortal General Zheng Xuan?” Lyu Liang asked at once.

Liu Jiawen was stunned, and then she said joyfully, “Oh yes! I forgot about that. Take out your Ethereal Immortal-Sound Shell right now and contact brother Zhu. Ask him whether Sister Xuan is with him! She must have the Purple Bright Stone with her!”

Lyu Liang took out the shell and stimulated the Divine Soul inside it. Just as he called out “Brother Zhu,” Liu Jiawen snatched the shell from his hand.

“Brother Zhu! My brother and I have come down to help you!” After her exciting yell, a sound of something falling, could be heard from the other end of the shell.

“Jia-Jiawen? W-why are you here?! And Jiahao is with you? Was it Xuan who told you I’m here? And you have met with brother Lyu?” It was the first time that Lyu Liang had heard Zhu Yu’s voice sounding so panicky.

“Brother! We didn’t meet sister Xuan. Wen has the major Ethereal Immortal-Sound Shell, so we know your whereabouts all the time, and also your aims. Please don’t worry. We won’t act rashly! Wen has reached the third level of the Secret Realm of Paper Cranes, and that’s why she could break the seal and slip down. I came down with her too. Now that we are all here, we will definitely help you, and you can focus on the sword in the relic of the Immortal Devil. When we get the last Million-Spirits Blood Pearl, we will look for you!”

Then, the brother and sister took turns to talk with Zhu Yu. They hadn’t met for tens of millions of years, and since they were such good friends, they had so much to tell each other. After nearly an hour of conversation, Zhu Yu finally understood the current situation. And Lyu Liang learned that Zheng Xuan was not back yet.

“How are you able to refine the Holy Soul Pill? You should let Don Zheng use his Heaven-Fire Divine Tripod to refine that for you! Your Fire Divine Pot can’t meet the level requirement, and those resources are unlikely to be found in the Mortal World. Don’t waste your time on it! That’s just a wild beast, and it’s not difficult to defeat with your combined strength.” Zhu Yu said in a light tone. It seemed that the matter, which had been troubling the three, appeared to be just a piece of cake for Zhu Yu.

Their eyes lit up, as they waited for Zhu Yu to continue.

Zhu Yu came straight to the point, “It needs your cooperation. According to my speculation, the blood-red Field Domain is the wild beast’s strength, and the beast is called ‘Poison Blood Dragon.’ The beast seems to be still at the half-baby stage and has spiritual intelligence, yet it’s not high. Hao and Wen contain the beast, while Lyu Liang can hide his aura and steal the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl. When the beast is at the battle, it won’t take the treasure with it.”

“But, brother Zhu, when my brother and I dive down, our cultivation will be constrained at the Early-stage of Xuan Immortal, so we can’t contain it for too long! If we retreat while Lyu Liang hasn’t taken the treasure yet, he will be in danger!” Liu Jiawen’s care made Lyu Liang feel amazed, and then warm inside. This girl’s heart was much softer than her words.

“Ho ho, you alone indeed can’t contain it, but it doesn’t mean your brother can’t make it. You’ve reached the third level of the Secret Realm of Paper Cranes, and he should have reached at least the fourth level. This move, as well as his life-bonded magic treasure, can sustain him for two and a half hours. And with you there, three and a half hours should not be a problem. That time is enough for Lyu Liang to fetch the pearl. Oh yes, Lyu Liang, take note of the large rocks. This kind of wild beast is used to hiding things under the rocks.” Zhu Yu made the battle plan, and all three agreed to it.

“Brother Zhu, wait for us! When we get the Million-Spirits Blood Pearl, we can go to the relic of the Immortal Devil together!” With the plan set, Liu Jiawen cheered up again.

“Ho ho, you don’t need to come with me. I plan to go there alone. There will be numerous dangers, and I do not want to divert my attention, in order to take care of others. Therefore, the fewer people, the better it will be. When Xuan comes here, I will persuade her to look for you.” Zhu Yu said this in a casual tone, but his attitude was very determined.

Liu Jiawen was reluctant and argued with Zhu Yu for a while. However, with much pouting, she agreed with him in the end.

Then, they finished their conversation with Zhu Yu and began discussing the battle plan.

It took them only half an hour to confirm the details. After all, Zhu Yu had already drawn up the plan for them, all they needed to do, was to execute it.

“Brother Lyu, please act quickly and don’t let my brother and myself struggle for too long!” Although Liu Jiawen was about a dozen centimeters shorter than Lyu Liang, she raised her hand deliberately and patted his head, with an air of seniority.

“Don’t worry. I have confidence. But Fairy Jiawen, if you can’t hold on, just come out and don’t hinder brother Jiahao’s performance!” The three were all easy-going, and they were soon very familiar with each other. Lyu Liang also laughed and joked with the brother and sister.

When the three walked out of the house, Kong Niu, who had been waiting anxiously outdoors, ran to them immediately. With tears in his eyes, he held Lyu Liang’s arm and said, “Senior Lyu, please! My mother had a bad attack again! Here is a Devil Spirit Herb. Please give me a medicinal pill in return!” After he had said this, if Lyu Liang hadn’t lifted him, he would have knelt directly.

Lyu Liang looked at Liu Jiawen helplessly, while she gave a wink, and then a medicinal pill appeared in Lyu Liang’s hand. He nodded, opened his palm in front of Kong Niu, and said softly, “Here you are. I hope it can cure your mother.”

Kong Niu made two kowtows excitedly before he hurried away. Then, Liu Jiahao whispered, “How many All-One Pills on earth have you taken? Before I came down, our father was furious and yelled that he would teach you a lesson when you returned.”

Liu Jiawen stuck out her tongue cutely and showed two fingers hesitantly.

“200? It’s indeed quite a lot. But I remember that Grandpa Zheng has given us 500 pills. Father shouldn’t have been so angry.” Liu Jiahao said, with a puzzled frown on his face.

“Two… two thousand…” With her head down, she replied in a barely audible tone.

“What?! Alas! You have taken out two thousand pills! You, you think these are jelly beans?! No wonder our father is so furious with you! How many are there left?! Take them out immediately!” Liu Jiahao cried out, his face turning livid.

“Oh! The 1,500 I gave out were all cut into small pieces and saved almost 10 thousand people’s lives! Didn’t you always say that one should know the values of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor? Our power reflects our social responsibilities, so we should always help those in need! Here are 400 pills! Humph, miser!” Liu Jiawen threw a storage bag at him and then strode away.

Liu Jiahao didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh. He shook his head and whispered to himself, “Sister, doing good deeds also need planning. The Detoxication Pills, which are worth only hundreds of mid-grade Primordial Stones, would have solved the problem, but you had to use the All-One Pills, which are worth nearly 10 thousand mid-grade Primordial Stones… Alas!”

Lyu Liang also stuck out his tongue. Looking at Liu Jiawen, who was striding ahead, Lyu Liang felt sorry for her brother—being generous and kind to this point, she was such an admirable weirdo.
