EBE Chapter 248 Water Bay City
Chapter 248 Water Bay City
He gripped her shoulders tightly, his eyes stern and cold: "Jiang Liqian, swear an oath to the devil that you will never reveal this name to anyone!"
Jiang Liqian was really shocked this time.
"Senior!" She frowned in pain, "What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Feng squeezed her shoulders harder and harder, his voice extremely cold: "Pray to the devil, now!"
Although Jiang Liqian respected her seniors and the other party was a friend of her master, it did not mean that she could be threatened by others at will and swear an oath that was so serious that it could ruin her path to immortality.
The Soul-Suppressing Pearl flew out instantly, and a blue light suddenly struck Cheng Feng's hand that was pinching her shoulder.
Cheng Feng narrowed his eyes and immediately took a step back.
The two of them were in a standoff in an instant.
At this moment, a clear and beautiful voice sounded from outside the courtyard gate: "Daddy, has Sister Jiang come out? I want to take her...Daddy, Sister Jiang, what are you doing?"
Arjun looked at the two people in confusion, the atmosphere was cold.
Is this - a quarrel?
Cheng Feng's expression changed quickly. Before Jiang Liqian could speak, he said to Aqiong: "Qiong'er, go back to your room first. Daddy has something to say to your sister Jiang." Then he warned Jiang Liqian with his eyes not to say any more.
Jiang Li pursed her lips slightly, her expression turning cold.
However, Aqiong refused to obey and held Jiang Liqian's arm tightly.
"Daddy, you are not allowed to be so mean to Sister Jiang! Can't you just talk it out? Sister Jiang just saved us!"
Cheng Feng was agitated when he saw his daughter being stubborn and protective of her own shortcomings, but in the end he could only sigh deeply.
He looked into Jiang Liqian's eyes and said seriously, "Nephew Jiang, I won't force you to take the Heart Demon Oath, but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone else about that name, and you won't mention it to anyone, including me."
Jiang Liqian understood the significance of this. She wasn't one to push things around, but she couldn't help but feel resentful when Chengfeng Valley Master suddenly and forcefully forced her to swear the Heart Demon Oath. She sneered, "Senior, you look like you want to kill me. Can you at least explain why?"
Cheng Feng remained silent.
After a long moment, he simply said, "This matter concerns the entire cultivation world. Nephew Jiang, as a disciple of the Qiankun Sect, you should be more aware of your responsibilities."
Jiang Liqian didn't get an answer, but she promised Chengfeng Valley Master that she would never mention that name again.
Even though she had all kinds of questions in her heart.
After hearing her promise, the master of Chengfeng Valley returned to his original expression, waved his hand, asked Aqiong to take her out to play, and went to tend to the herbs himself.
Aqiong didn't understand the sign language between the two of them, but excitedly pulled Jiang Liqian to the center of Baidie Valley.
There is a huge lake here, and the area around the lake is full of various spiritual flowers. The sky washed by the rainstorm is particularly clean. The golden sunlight shines down from above, sprinkling on the lake and the spiritual flowers, flashing with sparse golden light, which is particularly beautiful, as if countless stars have fallen on the earth.
Arjun took her and stood by the lake.
The waves carrying petals kept hitting the shore, splashing countless water.
"Sister Jiang, close your eyes first."
Jiang Liqian didn't know what this little girl was up to, so she closed her eyes as she was told.
Seeing her do as she was told, Arjun's smile widened. She stood by the lake and began to circulate her spiritual energy. Waves of a unique fragrance emanated from her body, drifting farther and farther on the breeze.
Then, strange vibrations came from all around.
Jiang Liqian was just thinking about whether to open her eyes a little and take a peek when she heard Ah Qiong say to her: "That's enough, Sister Jiang, open your eyes."
The clouds are gone, the light is shining through, the breeze is gentle, the water is rippling, and the endless sea of flowers is swaying gracefully.
At the pistil of each spiritual flower, countless spiritual butterflies fluttered and gradually flew out from among the thousands of spiritual flowers to greet the beam of light shining down from the sky.
All kinds of psionic butterflies flashed colorful lights and danced gracefully between heaven and earth, like elves in mountain springs, carrying free and unrestrained breeze.
Drink the spirit of heaven and earth, gather the colors of heaven and earth, capture the beauty of mountains, rivers and waters, and enter the hearts of immortals, gods and human souls.
Jiang Liqian looked at the shocking scene in front of her, and felt her mind become pure, as if it had been washed by the clearest water.
[Ding! The young master's inner demon backlash value has decreased by 5%, and the current backlash value is 48%.]
She was stunned.
The spectacular sight of spirit butterflies in Baidie Valley is indeed worthy of its reputation!
......................................................
Aqiong was reluctant to let her go. She had been sleeping for too long, her soul was weak, but her heart was even emptier. She really wanted Jiang Liqian to stay with her.
But she also knew that some people were like the wind in the mountains, and could not be retained. She could only send Jiang Liqian to the valley entrance reluctantly with tears in her eyes.
"Sister Jiang, when you have time in the future, you must come back to see me."
Jiang Li nodded slightly, then handed her a small butterfly-shaped stone. "This is a stone I picked up by the lake. It's been nourished by spiritual flowers and contains some spiritual energy. I carved a small formation on this stone. Wearing it will help you warm your soul."
Arjun gripped the stone tightly and uttered a heavy "hmm".
After leaving Baidie Valley, Jiang Liqian threw out a leaf boat and prepared to set off for the next place - Shuiwan City according to her own travel guide.
She had longed for this place for a long time. In her previous life, she was disheartened and had thought of living in seclusion here. However, Shen Qingqing and her admirers pursued her relentlessly, so she was unable to enter Shuiwan City.
Now that I have the opportunity, it is just the right time to make up for the regrets of my previous life.
I heard that Shuiwan City was surrounded by mountains on all sides, but within the city was a vast ocean, and the entire city was built on a vast expanse of water. There, every household had to go out by either flying a sword, taking a flying vehicle, or taking a boat.
On every full-moon night, when the bright moon sets into the water, a magnificent palace will appear under the water. When the full moon disappears, the palace will disappear as well.
Some people speculate that this is a secret realm with an unknown entrance, which contains countless rare treasures. Others think that this is just a mirage, an illusion underwater, and does not really exist.
There are legends, and naturally there are people who go treasure hunting. As a result, Shuiwan City has expanded from a remote small town to a huge city with people coming and going and bustling with people.
Jiang Liqian went to build the teleportation array as usual. It was almost the full moon night, and many people were going to Shuiwan City. Of course, the spirit stones required were much more expensive than going to other cities.
After a dizzying moment, she arrived at the gate of Shuiwan City.
At this moment, a long queue had formed at the city gate, and everyone entering the city had to pay an entrance fee of one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Ridiculously expensive!
But no one objected.
