1374 Four r.e.t.a.r.ds
Seeing this, Sheng Xiao placed his palm on his back and used his spiritual energy to force the wine out of his throat. After Ye Qingyang felt better, he laughed and said, “I believe you.” Then, he stood up and walked to the lounge.
When Ye Qingyang got up, the black crow on its shoulder flapped its wings.
Yu Huang had not known Ye Qingyang for long, but she had inexplicable trust for him. Perhaps because Ye Qingyang was the only person in the Doomsday Battlefield who was willing to stand up for Brother Xiao. Perhaps it was because he took the initiative to help her when they met by chance in the long Time Alley.
Perhaps it was because of the precious Spirit Replenishing Fruits.
!!Perhaps it was because in the Demon Beast Continent, he had once stood up without hesitation and helped them deal with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
In short, Ye Qingyang had already become one of Yu Huang’s most important friends.
Yu Huang was able to calmly watch Zhan Wuya fall into danger because she did not care if Zhan Wuya ended up dead. She took the initiative to set up that net to save Zhan Wuya’s life not out of friendship, but out of self-interest. This was because she knew that if Zhan Wuya survived and if Prime Emperor Jiuxiao’s true colors were to be known by everyone, the future War G.o.d Clan would most likely be Zhan Wuya’s home ground.
Therefore, Yu Huang saved Zhan Wuya for the sake of long-term benefits.
After watching Ye Qingyang go to the lounge, Sheng Xiao rubbed his nose and mocked,. “You can all tell that there’s something wrong with the painting. I’m the only one who didn’t notice it. I’ve embarra.s.sed you.” Sheng Xiao hugged Yu Huang’s shoulder and let her lean against his chest.
As he rested his chin on Yu Huang’s head and rubbed her smooth hair gently, he suddenly said in a low voice, “You’re setting a long line to catch a big fish.”
“You know me well.”
The War G.o.d Nation was located in the easternmost part of the Divine Miracle Continent, and the Magic Academy was located in the center of the Myriad Sea Island in the north of the Cang Lang Continent. The two places were very far apart, about two times the distance from Ice River City to Cang Lang City.
This was also the reason Yu Huang and Yin Rong could only contact each other online.
It was already too late for Yu Huang and the others to take an aeroplane to the Magic Academy, so they decided to head straight to the Blue Serene Sea to meet Yin Rong. The Blue Serene Sea was also within the Myriad Sea Island’s territory. It was in the east of the Myriad Sea Island and much closer. They should be able to reach the Blue Serene Sea at around three in the afternoon tomorrow.
…
At 2:40 PM the next afternoon, the aeroplane of the War G.o.d Clan circled the gra.s.sland outside the Blue Serene Sea a few times. Then, it found a suitable place to dock. After sending Yu Huang and the others safely to their destination, the captain bowed to them and returned.
“According to the information, the Blue Serene Sea is a sea area hidden under a huge mountain.” There was only one mountain nearby and that mountain was at the end of the plain. It rose from the ground and was about ten thousand feet high. The three of them quickly ran towards the mountain. When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, they saw Yin Rong.
She was wearing a white crossed V-neck silk shirt with a purple-pink silk dress. Her smooth waist-length hair was draped behind her back, and two fishtail braids extended from her forehead to the back of her head. They were fixed with a small daisy hairpin.
Her seemingly simple but sneaky outfit added to her playfulness and gentleness.
“Yu Huang!”
However, when she saw Yu Huang, Yin Rong’s eyes lit up, like a fan who had seen her idol. She immediately lifted her skirt and pounced at her.
It was a real flying pounce.
She stood on her tiptoes as she pounced on Yu Huang. After her arms wrapped around Yu Huang’s neck tightly, Yu Huang hugged her waist tacitly. Her powerful arms easily lifted Yin Rong up from the ground, then she spun Yin Rong around with one hand.
Sheng Xiao stood at the side helplessly. He was jealous, but he knew that he should not be.
After Ye Qingyang snorted sarcastically and b.u.mped Sheng Xiao’s shoulder, he teased, “Your wife is very popular. Both men and women love her.”
After Sheng Xiao rolled his eyes at Ye Qingyang, he lamented with pride and distress, “It’s her fault for being too beautiful and charming.” If she was not so charming, Sheng Xiao would not have fallen for Yu Huang.
After the joy of their reunion gradually subsided, Yu Huang put Yin Rong down. After Yu Huang tidied up the slightly messy hair on Yin Rong’s forehead, she asked gently, “How long have you been here?”
The moment Ye Qingyang heard Yu Huang speak, he couldn’t help but complain, “Why is she so gentle when she talks to girls?” When she spoke to them, she was so cold and blunt.
Sheng Xiao told the truth. “Because most men are blindly confident. If a girl speaks to them softly and smiles a little, they will think that she is into him.”
Ye Qingyang said, “…Aren’t you a man too?”
Sheng Xiao sighed and looked up at the sky. When he thought of how he felt when he first fell in love with Yu Huang, he could not help but feel sad. “I’m not blindly confident. I’m truly confident.”
Ye Qingyang was speechless.
“I arrived at noon.” Yin Rong nodded at Sheng Xiao and smiled while greeting him. When she faced Ye Qingyang again, Yin Rong did not even smile. After she took a step back and bowed to Ye Qingyang respectfully, she said seriously, “I’m Yin Rong, a first-year student of the Magic Academy. Greetings, Prime Master Ye Qingyang.”
Ye Qingyang was speechless.
Girls only liked to smile at their loved ones.
“We’re all students, so just call me Ye Qingyang.” Ye Qingyang didn’t want to be treated as a big shot by Yin Rong. He wasn’t used to it, and he didn’t need it.
Knowing that Ye Qingyang had a good relationship with Yu Huang and the others, Yin Rong immediately changed her address and called out, “Ye Qingyang.”
Ye Qingyang stood up straight and cupped his fists at Yin Rong. “Yin Rong.”
After greeting everyone, Yin Rong held Yu Huang’s hand as she walked to the foot of the mountain. As they walked, she asked her about what had happened on the Demon Beast Continent a few days ago. After hearing Yu Huang tell her about Mo Xiao’s situation in the Fox Immortal City, Yin Rong told Yu Huang about her gains in the Magic Academy.
As they spoke, they walked to the end of the plain at the foot of the mountain.
But they did not find the entrance at the foot of the mountain.
Yin Rong told them, “Legend has it that the Blue Serene Sea is hidden under this mountain, but so far, no one has really entered the Blue Serene Sea. Therefore, no one knows what the scene in the Blue Serene Sea is like.” As Yin Rong pressed her head against the mountain, she held her breath and listened attentively before whispering, “Listen.”
Yu Huang and the others imitated Yin Rong and pressed their ears against the mountain to listen.
When Prime Emperor Lan Ji appeared at the foot of the mountain, he saw four young people lying on the mountain and eavesdropping. After he stared at the four of them for a while, he said thoughtfully, “Could it be that I found the wrong place?”
The four r.e.t.a.r.ds in front of him could not possibly be Sheng Xiao and the others…
