Chapter 1898: Bullies the Weak But Fears the Strong…
Qiao Mu quickly brushed her hubby’s dripping long hair with her fingers and whispered into his ear, “Little Water says that this black spirit jade mine is just up ahead! Let’s hurry up and get there first.”
Her sapling was still waiting for these lifesaving black spirit jade!
This was not a joke at all.
“I got it.” Mo Lian nodded helplessly and swiftly headed forward while carrying his wifey.
Meanwhile, the Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal stuck close as he glided forward with them. He asked curiously, “What’s up ahead?”
Qiao Mu glanced back at the crowd that they had left behind before beckoning toward Feng Chen. “Just now, I divined that there is a black spirit jade mine here.”
The Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal’s eyelid jerked, and he looked at her helplessly. “Little One, you think I’d really believe that you divined this just because you act all mysterious?”
Humph!
Qiao Mu turned her head around, showing him the back of her head.
Mo Lian shot him a glare and said, “Don’t talk nonsense and hurry up.”
…
“Where is it?” Feng Chen acceded in resignation. “In the water?”
The three of them quietly moved forward, but the bizarre thing was that those monstrous fish were smart enough to avoid them. It might be that they bullied the weak and feared the strong. In any case, they were all gathered around You Xin and company.
Yet as Feng Chen looked back, he was curious when he saw the people from Sunlight Academy frantically warding off those monstrous fish. “Qiaoqiao, did you do something naughty?”
Why did those monstrous fish just like the people from Sunlight Academy so much?
Look at how Xuangfeng Academy and Honghui Academy didn’t catch the monstrous fishes’ fancy as much as them.
...
Even the unlucky River Horse Academy was faring better than Sunlight Academy.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu harrumphed and subconsciously clutched a lock of Mo Lian’s long hair. “Do I look like someone who would do such a senseless thing?”
You do!
Even though Feng Chen was nodding inwardly, he shook his head on the outside and said, “You don’t.”
F*ck, this was the epitome of talking insincerely!
If he said “you do,” he could guarantee that the little one wouldn’t even show him the back of her head anymore…
Qiao Mu looked back at him expressionlessly before nodding in satisfaction. “That’s correct! You have a good eye.”
Feng Chen silently turned to exchange gazes with Mo Lian: Did you know that your wife was this narcissistic?
Mo Lian: …
Even though the three of them were chatting, this did not affect their movements.
They paddled to a long wall, and Mo Lian touched the icy wall that was carved in relief. His eyes flickered as he concluded, “Looks like this is an underground tomb.”
They had actually slid all the way to the center of the tomb due to the earthquake.
It was unknown whose tomb this belonged to, but it was surely majestic considering how the entire Mount Tai served as the tomb.
Qiao Mu nodded. “Let’s see if we can find an entrance.”
The three of them swam along the carved wall for a while when Qiao Mu’s pet.i.te hand suddenly touched an icy ring pull, which she then pulled nonchalantly.
It didn’t budge!
“La.s.s, don’t pull things randomly.” Feng Chen hastily warned.
But it was too late!
Because the ring pull didn’t budge, Miss Qiao generated wood spirit and looped it around the ring pull before pulling hard again!
*Kachi—* An enormous hole suddenly showed up in the wall beside the ring pull.
A monstrous fish jumped out, and Feng Chen promptly knocked it away with a vine whip.
*Splish, splis.h.!.+* One monstrous fish after another jumped out from the round hole. However, they didn’t even look at Qiao Mu and them, instead swimming speedily toward You Xin and company.
