— Chapter 314 —
Yunlong and Chu Xiaoyu arrived at the Sea God Island with a loud boom before their faces.
“What happened here?” It’s the first line Yunlong spouted when seeing two blazing girls fighting each other.
…
Bai Xue dodged Ma Xiaotao’s attack by leaning her head to the left and countered with a fire buddha lotus, creating an explosion.
BOOM!
Ma Xiaotao’s eyes widened because Bai Xue’s firepower was higher than she expected.
It’s a public secret that Yunlong has maids behind him. Each of them is a strong fighter and a beautiful woman that could bewitch men.
Yet, this is beyond Ma Xiaotao’s pre-assumption. The difference between a rumor and a genuine subject is enormous, making her think that Bai Xue is not a human.
They are at the Spirit Emperor Realm with a few levels of difference, but the gap between them is vast.
How long would it take for Ma Xiaotao to discover that Bai Xue does not specialize in fighting? After all, Pill-Making Alchemy is that apple-haired maid’s primary skill.
(An: Bai Xue also brews potions, and let’s be honest, that pill is easier to consume)
The fiery maid waved hand signs and inhaled a substantial dose of oxygen into her lungs. White smoke began to escape through her lips.
A flame ignited within Bai Xue’s heart, rushing to the top of her throat like a torrential flow.
“Fire Style: Yellow Crow’s Emergence.”
Ma Xiaotao’s arms blackened into charcoal-like color, causing the atmosphere around her to change.
She sighed because Madara said her body wouldn’t be able to handle this technique, but her enemy is a monster. She has to go above and beyond the mortal limit.
Yunlong placed Bing Chun below a random tree and approached Madara, who enjoyed the fight between his disciples.
“Well, you’re early.” He commented on the Ghost of the Uchiha’s appearances.
Madara sneered and replied, “It’s just you who are late to the party.”
“I can’t share this information with anyone else besides you because of the content.”
Yunlong chuckled and returned, “You can transfer it with my phone, you know?”
“No,” Madara brought his phone. “Even though conventional, I still don’t trust this thing.”
“There are too many gimmicks.”
“Pfft… Hahaha.” Yunlong couldn’t hold his laughter and began to stare at Madara like he was a boomer.
It was somehow understandable, considering Madara is from a warring states era and a world where technology isn’t really advanced. Still, it’s hilarious.
This legendary shinobi cannot accept new things that easily, huh?
“So, what information do you want to give me?” Yunlong shook his head and ignored Madara’s annoyed expression.
Madara clicked his tongue in annoyance and replied, “Tch, I’ll tell you later.”
“There are too many ears here.”
“Sure,” Yunlong commented while moving his gaze to the fight again.
Ma Xiaotao’s body exuded dark energy, and her hand grazed over her face, creating a half-faced phoenix mask.
“Dark Phoenix.”
After combining four of her spirit skills into one, Ma Xiaotao could access this form with high enough firepower to kill Spirit Saint but turned herself worthless after it.
Dark Phoenix is a technique with a high price, but she is willing to pay it.
An enormous yellow crow made of flame flew toward her and screeched wildly, causing the air to set on fire.
Ma Xiaotao jumped and summoned a fire orb on her right-hand palm. As she gripped her hand, the fire orb burned intensely.
“Eclipse Sun’s Wheel.” Her palm’s skin becomes ash, but Ma Xiaotao doesn’t care.
BAM!
She destroyed the yellow crow with a forceful punch and ruined it into pieces, rushing toward Bai Xue with a determined look to win.
Bai Xue yawned lazily and watched the Phoenix Girl entering her trap. As Ma Xiaotao arrived one step behind her, a dragon-like symbol suddenly lit up.
This unique symbol is from knowledge of the Sea God’s First Journal, which Bai Xue has been reviewing for the past day.
“Fire Snare Arrays.” She activated the symbol.
Unlike the sealing technique from the Shinobi World, the arrays Bai Xue used could be applied by just thinking about the formula in her head and materializing it in the real world.
Though, it consumes a lot of spirit energy.
DUK!
Ma Xiaotao’s face planted onto the floor, which led her flame to die like a candle getting swept by water.
“My flame…” She whispered in disbelief. Her Phoenix Flame actually was devoured by the arrays.
Bai Xue crouched a little and commented, “It’s no use because every time you try to use your puny Phoenix Flame, the array will absorb it and pressure you even more.”
“Unless you want to fight me physically with those injuries, you can’t win.”
Ma Xiaotao looked at Bai Xue like she was a great wall and sighed to herself. “I-I gave up…” She mumbled with a hesitant tone.
“Looks like we have the winner,” Yunlong said while walking toward them.
“Oh, welcome back~!” Bai Xue greeted while bowing her head to him. She glanced at Ma Xiaotao and lifted the array, causing the Phoenix Girl to be able to stand up again.
“I’m back.”
Yunlong looked down on Ma Xiaotao, who dodged his gaze for some reason. ‘Well, she hates me, I guess.’ He thought naturally.
He tapped Ma Xiaotao’s head and used White Light Grace on her to heal some injuries. Her ash-like hand regenerated and gained new flawless skins.
Ma Xiaotao gazed at her arms in wonder and felt the warmth from Yunlong’s healing technique. Its conflicted sensation washed over her.
This person is the same guy who killed her precious friends and teacher, so she should have hated him, right?
‘Should I forgive him?’ Ma Xiaotao stole a peek at the young man. contemporary romance
However, Yunlong’s following words shook her.
“I don’t need your forgiveness,” Yunlong said calmly. “Everyone has a different principle of life.”
“You can hate me all you want, but remember that only the strong can change someone’s fate.”
“Your life is the privilege I was given to you when your genius teacher’s plan failed.”
Yunlong waited for a response but heard nothing from Ma Xiaotao’s mouth.
He walked away with Bai Xue and saw a silver flash approaching Ma Xiaotao, checking if she was okay or not.
A pink-haired girl stood in front of Yunlong all of a sudden. Her face is pale, devoid of all emotion.
“Rongrong,” Yunlong observed the former princess of Seven Treasure Clan. Well, she’s currently the head of that ruined clan.
“M-Master…” Ning Rongrong bent her body down. Her voice trembled in somewhat fear and excitement.
Yunlong frowned inside because Ning Rongrong seemed to develop another personality. It’s somewhat similar to Zhu Zhuyun in the past but more extreme.
He sighed and responded, “Don’t force yourself.”
…
Madara followed Yunlong and said, “Your presence alone is enough to make them cower in fear.”
“What are you doing to them?”
“It’s complicated, but you should have known about such a thing, Madara,” Yunlong replied dryly. “After all, How could a legendary shinobi like you lack information?”
Madara scowled because he indeed knew about everything from someone else already.
Yunlong ruined the plan of Yu Xiaogang’s plan to destroy Spirit Hall, proceeding to kill not only two clan leaders but also two titled douluo without any worries.
There is always an uncomfortable sensation in Madara’s body when looking at Ning Rongrong’s tears. It’s not hard to guess because this body belongs to Sword Douluo, also known as Grandpa Sword by the pink-haired girl.
At least with the adaptation over time, Madara could wash this feeling off his body. Still, Ning Rongrong belongs to a soft spot somewhere in Madara’s instinct.
It doesn’t change Madara’s mind in any shape or form, but more like bizarre muscle memory.
They arrived at the Sea Dragon’s Mansion and saw Kaguya showering the lawn with a green sprinkler. Little Saixi is sitting not far from him, eating a bowl of sweat pills.
“Daddy!” Little Saixi jumped from her seat and ran toward Yunlong, hugging him tightly.
Yunlong smiled and asked, “Are you the one who told Bai Xue and Ma Xiaotao to fight each other?”
She tilted her head in confusion and remembered the beautiful big sister with red hair. “Yep.” She nodded excitedly.
“Who wins?”
“Bai Xue.” He patted her head.
Meanwhile, Madara just stared at them with a weird expression on his side. A grown-up woman acted like a child and called Yunlong “Daddy.” which is quite a bizarre scene to see.
“Why are you staring at me like that, old man?” Little Saixi’s head pokes out a little from Yunlong’s side. Her eyes focused on Madara warily.
“Old man?” Madara’s mouth twitched a little.
“Well, well, don’t sweat it.” Yunlong chuckled a little and dragged the Ghost of Uchiha inside the mansion.
“I’ll be back at dinner time.” He added while waving his hand at Little Saixi, noticing her demeanor change.
However, to Yunlong’s surprise, she still responded with a smile and waved back at him.
He actually was amused by it and commented, “Well, even the cold saintess needs to relax sometimes.”
…
“That mission is not challenging.” Madara crashed on the sofa and released an annoyed sigh.
Yunlong brushed Madara’s statement casually and replied, “Is that so?”
“I thought they had enough power to give you some trouble.”
A tick mark appears on Madara’s forehead because of some so-called “Modern.” defense. The Sun and Moon Continent’s people dare to say themselves as a strong faction.
Madara basically tore their base inside out without letting them use their defense protocol. His disappointment is immeasurable.
“Well, let’s hear the information.” Yunlong threw a jug of wine at Madara.
Madara caught the jug and opened the lid, smelling a pleasant alcohol smile inside it. He sipped the wine and began to explain everything in his mission.
After a few minutes of explanation, he placed a decent-sized egg like a football on the table.
“Hmm?” Yunlong frowned and told Neo to scan the egg.
[Name: Nether Bird]
[Grade: Semi-Divine]
[Species: Spirit Beast/Moon’s Sparrow(Enhanced)
[Description: An artificial spirit beast created through genetic modification and Divine Beast’s blood infusion]
‘Neo, Can you scan what Divine Beast’s blood they infused into this egg?’ He asked calmly.
[Scanning…]
[…]
[Darkness Dragon King’s Blood, Divine Moon Sparrow’s Blood, and Modified Human’s Blood]
“What?” Yunlong was taken aback by the scan’s result.
[According to my scan, they wanted to create a half-human and half-beast creature to trick the universal law]
[Though, I wonder where did they obtain Darkness Dragon King’s Blood]
[Also, for the Modified Human’s Blood, they broke the genetic codes into pieces to make it more adaptable]
Yunlong remembered Dragonborn’s project and commented, “So it’s human, but at the same time isn’t human anymore.”
“Why are you talking to the air?” Madara suddenly asked.
Yunlong picked the egg and replied, “This egg is more problematic than you thought, Madara.”
