The Ancient Realm Goddess
Crystal Stone
Who said that? Everyone immediately looked for the source of the sound. To the people of the Heavenly Academy, they seemed to know whose voice it was. But where is the man? Why not look at all?
“Xinyu, what is you?” xie Wuqing asked. He felt relieved after hearing Qing Yue'er's voice. At least this means the girl is still alive. Just find out where the guy is.
“Ya, yes. It's me,” Qing Yue'er replied. He looked down. His lips twitched a little. From everyone's facial expressions, it seemed like they still had not discovered his existence. Heh! Is he that small? No, it must be because Taotie is too big.
“Above, yes, above. Look at me, here!” ying Yue'er shouted. After that, everyone looked at the top of Taotie's head, which was blocked by some fine hairs.
Everyone was immediately stunned. How could Qing Yue'er end up up up there? Did the girl make trouble with Taotie so he was punished for being put on his head?
Xie Wuqing became anxious again. “Girl, how did you get there? Have you been causing trouble again?!”
“Do I look like a trouble maker?” Qing Yue'er muttered wryly. However, he would not explain about this right now. He had to eliminate those damn demons first.
“Dumb devil, have you had fun? Too bad, your end is today,” said Qing Yue'er.
The demons who heard Qing Yue'er's words couldn't be sure. Will Taotie indeed obey the girl's orders? This is hard to believe, how would such a voracious creature be willing to submit to humans?
The demon leader looked up at Qing Yue'er. “Girl, you better not mess around or I'll make you sorry!”
“Do if you are able.” Qing Yue'er said casually.
The demon snarled immediately. All the demon troops looked at Qing Yue'er with fierce gazes. If the gaze alone could kill then Qing Yue'er might have already been killed many times.
Su Yang who knew that the situation might be chaotic, eventually withdrew and ordered the people to retreat. However, the devil did not want to take them off just like that. They also started attacking again.
Qing Yue'er snorted. “Taotie, do it now!”
Ggm!
Taotie immediately growled loudly. His growl caused the cave walls to tremble violently. After that he began to open his enormous mouth. The person who saw that big mouth could only be dumbfounded. This was the first time they had all seen Taotie in person.
Of course, many told me about apparently being as big as a mountain or about its huge and wide mouth. However, witnessing it firsthand is a real surprise and horror.
“Retreat!” Su Yang shouted after finishing from his shock. He led everyone to retreat.
Before the demons were able to catch up to them, suddenly an enormous and powerful vortex formed from Taotie's mouth. The vortex instantly formed in the air and with a fierce vortex it swept through the demon army.
The noise from the wind from the air fluctuation was completely deafening. Coupled with the sound of the screams of the demons who were trying to escape. There were some demons running towards the entrance of the well. They may think that it is a good idea. However, of course it could not be because there was a seal already installed by Ying Jun. Anyone would not be able to get out of this place.
Su Yang and the others could only watch how the demon had started to enter the vortex and was brought into Taotie's big mouth which had already been opened since earlier. In just a short time those demons had already vanished without a remnant.
Of course this sight made people shudder in horror. There were thoughts in their heads as well about what if Taotie was still unsatisfied and instead intended to eat them all. However, it seemed like they did not have to worry about this.
Suddenly the big Taotie went up and down like he was jumping for joy. Of course the room was too narrow to accommodate Taotie's jumps. The result was that the cave began to collapse.
“Stupid, stop doing silly things like that!” Qing Yue'er exclaimed at Taotie. He himself knocked on the ceiling because of Taotie's behavior.
“I'm happy, let me have fun,” Taotie said.
“Do it after we all come out. Destroy this place so that in the future there will be no similar events." Qing Yue'er jumped down from Taotie's head. Finally Taotie could only obey Qing Yue'er's words.
Niu Ren and his group looked at Qing Yue'er with a whole new respect. Not only did the girl possess a divine beast, it turned out that she also had Taotie who was likely to be hidden all along. Heaven, why would there be such a person?
They were still stunned until finally Qing Yue'er had already arrived in front of them. No one had ever expected that the Heavenly Academy had already raised such an outstanding disciple. It is inconceivable, not knowing what other words could represent their feelings.
“Ehm!” Niu Ren cleared his throat to return his feelings. Then he smiled too. “Xinyu, thank you very much for saving us.”
“True, if there were no you surely we all might have died,” said Xiao Ling.
Qing Yue'er waved her sleeve and smiled slightly. Then he said, “I've guaranteed Uncle's safety and I can't possibly let my promise go.”
Everyone looked at Qing Yue'er in confusion. “Uncle? Who do you mean?”
Qing Yue'er approached Xie Wuqing and shook her hand. “Ya, this is my uncle.”
That answer certainly made others feel astonished. Uncle? That meant that all this time they had been fooled by the acting of these two people? Why do they not believe in the truth?
“I don't want to make Uncle feel ashamed because it turns out I'm more outstanding than you,” Qing Yue'er replied with a laugh.
Xie Wuqing only chuckled on hearing Qing Yue'er's reasoning. Meanwhile, others begin to believe. So their closeness during this time was not because they were lovers, more precisely because of brotherhood. How delightful.
While everyone was clucking in admiration, Chen Yi was still speechless. He was reminded of Li Xia who was dead in an unnatural way. Honestly, I feel lost. They are close friends. If Qing Yue'er took out Taotie earlier surely Li Xia would not have died.
“Honey once, he's dead,” he said.
“You can't blame anyone else." Xiao Ling patted Chen Yi on the shoulder. He could guess what the woman was thinking.
“No, I just don't feel okay.”
“We'd better get out of here. There may not be anything good here.”
They finally plan to leave. Actually they were still curious about Taotie but if Qing Yue'er was unwilling to explain any further then they would not force it either. Maybe they'll find out next day.
The members of the Heavenly Academy group started moving away. While Qing Yue'er would not leave now. He was still curious about the depths of this passageway. Maybe there's something he can find.
Su Yang looked at the unmoving Qing Yue'er. Finally he asked, “Girl, aren't you going now?”
“No. The well seal should have been opened. You can go first. Mr. Su, I ask you to directly treat their injuries after getting out of here,” Qing Yue'er said.
“It was of course. We'll definitely help. Be careful. There should be no more danger.” Su Yang also left with his group. He still had to prepare a gift as a thank you to the Heavenly Academy group.
Qing Yue'er watched their departure. “Ying Jun, the seal has already come off, right?”
“Ya, you rest easy.”
Finally Qing Yue'er nodded. He looked at Taotie who was still perched there. “Taotie, you just wait here. I'll just go for a while.”
“I don't want to wait long,” said Taotie. Unfortunately Qing Yue'er had already left without listening to his words. He just snorted and waited patiently.
Qing Yue'er entered the passage deeper. I don't know why he felt something interesting in the hallway. Or at least he had to check whether the Devil Gorge connecting seal was still there or not.
The hallway he entered turned out to be very long. After a while he still hadn't met the end. On the wall there are embers of fire that become lights of the hallway. It was red and she couldn't tell if it looked scary or beautiful.
After moving for a while he finally arrived at a fairly spacious room. In front there was still another passageway that might be the path to the Devil's Abyss. However, he would stop here for a while because something caught his attention.
In the middle of this vast room, he saw a medium-sized stone platform. On it was a striking red stone. Is that a fire?
The curious Qing Yue'er finally approached him. When he got closer, he could finally see it more closely. It was a pomegranate-red crystal stone. There was a red glow covering its surface.
“What is this?” Qing Yue'er became curious. He wanted to touch her but his intentions were soon undone. It made Mo Jingtian feel astonished.
“Why don't you take it?” asked Mo Jingtian.
“I may not be careless. Is this okay?”
“It's okay. It was a crystal stone formed from the blood of the Fire Bird.”
Qing Yue'er became curious. “Blood of Fire Birds?"
“Fire Birds are special birds that live in the Devil's Gorge. You've never met them so definitely don't know. The bird has a rare number. If their blood dripped on the ground of the Devil's Gorge then it would create this crystal naturally.” Mo Jingtian explained.
“What does it do? Is it something valuable?”
“Of course. You think the devil kept it here for what?” Mo Jingtian asked with a hint of ruckus. “For the crystal demon it can be used to forge bodies. However, for humans it could be used to increase cultivation levels.”
“Really?” Both of Qing Yue'er's eyes immediately sparkled. Without waiting any longer he finally took the crystal. Heh, he is indeed looking for resources. He finally found it even though it was only one crystal.
