Chapter 794: Fire In The Backyard
Translator: AL_Squad Editor: AL_Squad
At the small house on the lake of Mount Qi School in the Central Region, Xia Xiaohe looked at Senior Immortal Poxu with a stern look, which caused the latter to feel helpless.
“Tell me the truth, what the h.e.l.l are you doing?”
“I’m not kidding you, this is certainly my heart demon.”
“What a joke, there are at least one hundred thousand or eighty thousand ‘heart demons’ that you played with until they crippled, someone like you will actually have a main heart demon?” Xia Xiahe laughed disdainfully but soon realized that she was wrong. “Are you serious?”
Poxu said, “Very serious. You know me, I have always been serious about feelings.”
Xia Xiaohe was silent and did not speak. She thought that her childhood friend was indeed serious about his feelings, but his feelings were distorted. He never liked anyone, only collectibles, or rather turned what he liked into collectibles. The more he liked someone, the more he went through countless preparations, which in the end turned that someone into the so-called shocking collection. She remembered a long time ago, he showed his collection room to the several immortals who had been fighting together with him in the wars as comrades. Some people vomited on the spot… Thus, it was really bad luck for any person that he liked.
However, this had nothing to do with Xia Xiaohe. It didn’t matter how abnormal Poxu wanted to be, in any case, he didn’t dare make her the object of his perverted desire. And as long as Poxu was useful, he could still be used. This was what she learned from the Immortal King.
To a certain extent, Poxu in his infatuation state was better than he was normally. Because when he was in his normal state, he was too difficult to use. Not to mention the little princess of the Immortal World, even the Immortal King Xia Yu himself sometimes could not order him. When his madness came over him, he basically didn’t recognize his own side. Because of this, Immortal King had even put him in the endless immortal prison as many as three times. For an ordinary immortal, as long as they went to the endless prison once, they could forget of ever going out still in the same condition as before. However, Poxu was still alive and kicking even after he went there three times! He did not learn his lesson at all!
On the contrary, whenever he had a heart demon, he became less crazy and more focused, and it became easier to communicate with him… However, after so many years, Poxu rarely had a heart demon anymore. Because the collections in his collection room were so many, few people could raise his interest.
“Who has the bad luck this time?”
Poxu shook his head and said, “Sorry, can’t say it.”
“Oh? You want to keep it a secret from me? Are you afraid I’ll s.n.a.t.c.h it from you?” Xia Xiaohe squinted her eyes and smiled.
Poxu nodded and said, “I do worry about it. Xiaohe, you’ve always been someone who eats both meat and vegetable.”
”…”
“You are the princess of the immortal world, with endless resources. But I’m not as blessed as you. It’s really not easy to have a fancy collection, so I don’t want you to rob it from me.”
Xia Xiahe took a deep breath and restrained herself from beating him up. She then coldly said, “I have several things for you to do, can you do it?”
Poxu immediately nodded and said, “The matter that little princess handed over to me, I naturally am ready to risk life and limb to fulfill.”
“Tsk, you won’t even share your collection with me, what ready to risk life and limb to fulfill?” Xia Xiaohe scoffed at the false pretense act of Poxu and said, “Moreover, I don’t need you to risk life and limb for me. Now our power is not that abundant, so it can’t be wasted.”
Poxu was puzzled and asked, “Our power is not enough? With royal highness and I, I’m afraid we’ll sweep this world…”
“Sweep? Did you forget how Fengyue died? Did you forget what happened to Canglan? Forget that there are more than a hundred Earth Immortals here?”
Poxu smiled and said, “They’re just a mob of chickens and dogs. Xiaohe, you’re the princess of the immortal world, you should inherit His Majesty’s indomitable enterprising spirit…”
“Are you trying to bicker with me? Is it because we haven’t met for so long that you have forgotten about my means?”
Xia Xiaohe was angry, so Poxu immediately shut up.
“Listen, although Nine Regions is a lower realm, it is, after all, the origin of the immortal world. We are not qualified to underestimate it. What’s more, our enemy may not necessarily be someone from Nine Regions. This alien coming out of nowhere is a big problem for us. I don’t want to confront him right now, so we have to act low-key, do you understand?”
Poxu certainly didn’t understand her words, but it didn’t hinder him from nodding his head.
“I know you want to say that the enemy is in the bright while we are in the dark. But, I can tell you that Nine Regions are run by people like it’s an iron bucket for a long time. If you act-low key, it’s very difficult for them to find you. For example, we are now hiding in Mount Qi, so it’s very hard for them to find us. But once you make your move, the power of the entire continent will gather in an instant.”
Poxu thought about it and then asked, “So, what should I do then?”
“Break their iron bucket array first by starting from the inside.”
Xia Xiahe said and then held out a piece of paper. On the paper was a picture of a person, a woman who looked fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate and beautiful appearance. However, she did not have the innocence and vitality that a youth of her age should have, but rather somewhat languid and somewhat jittery. It was not difficult to see from her frowning eyebrows that her temper was obviously not very good.
Poxu took a closer look and asked, “Who is this person?”
“Feng Ling, the Lady Boss of Ru Family Inn in Spirit Creek Town.”
“Can you say something that I understand?”
“Oh, you must not be unfamiliar with her other ident.i.ty. She is the container of Nine-Tailed Fox.”
Poxu suddenly understood and said, “The servant who was put into the lower realm more than one hundred years ago?”
“Yes, she’s the Nine-Tailed Fox captured and released by Senior Immortal Xiaoyao with his own hands to release a natural disaster. At that time, the people of the lower realm quickly suppressed and sealed it. I have been lurking in Nine Regions for fifteen years and finally found its container. Now, I want you to find a way to reach this container, and then use this to unlock the seal?”
After Xia Xiaohe handed Poxu a broken magic needle, Poxu still somewhat did not understand and asked, “After I unlock the seal, then what? A Nine-Tailed Fox shouldn’t be able to raise any storm.”
“Of course a Nine-Tailed fox can’t raise any storm, but the Lady Boss of the Ru Family Inn can set off stormy waves… You don’t need to know so much about the specific situation, just follow my plan.”
Poxu pondered for a moment, and then took the portrait of Feng Ling and said, “Very well, I’ll handle this matter. What about you then?”
Xia Xiahe smiled and said, “I’m going to the Western Continent.”
“Western Continent? Isn’t that the territory of the Pantheon? We’re not supposed to be there.”
“What’s wrong, do you think it’s still the time when the Pantheon shone brightly like a galaxy and could be on an equal footing with the immortal world? That group of degenerates should’ve died a long time ago. This time, after we level off Nine Regions, the next one is the Western Continent, if the Pantheon is not tactful, they will also disappear.”
Poxu raised his eyebrows when he heard Xia Xiaohe’s opinion. Having a fall out with the Western Continent thing happened just recently, which was faster than what he expected. Although it had been known for a long time that there would be a war between the Immortal World and the Pantheon, it ought to happen thousands of years later, when the value of Nine Regions had completely dried out. But now, it seemed that the Immortal King intended to speed up the progress.
He had always been slow to keep up with the changes in the strategy of the immortal world. Although his position was high enough to allow him to access first-hand information, he was not interested in it at all.
“But now the focus is in the Nine Regions, what are you going to do in Western Continent?”
Xia Xiaohe said with a warm smile, “The world is so big, I just want to take a look.”
”…”
“Before we have a fall out with the Pantheon, now it’s the rare opportunity for me to take a trip there. I heard that there’s a country called Bretonnia, which is very beautiful and worth visiting for.”
”…”
“That’s right.” Xia Xiahe patted her forehead and said, “I almost forgot something. Bai Ze, Xuan Mo, you two come here.”
A moment later, the two Earth Immortals appeared on the lake house without expression.
“I’m going to go to the Western Continent for something big. Before I leave, I’ll give you an important task. I know that the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals has a workshop in the Red Sea, which has been producing war machines called Zaku. I want you two to find a way to destroy the workshop.”
Bai Ze opened his eyes in disbelief and said, “Do you want us to destroy the heavily guarded Red Sea Underwater Workshop?”
“Do you think your strength is not enough? Then find a way to add new partners. You two should be able to get along with the other Earth Immortals.”
“That’s impossible. The present Earth Immortals have been under w.a.n.g Lu’s control for a long time! It’s impossible for them to betray!”
Xia Xiahe sneered and said, “Impossible to betray? Then what about you two? Tell your old friends what I have said carefully, I believe there always will be people who are interested.”
After that, before the two of them could argue, Xia Xiaohe immediately blocked their retreat with one sentence.
“If you two want to board my boat, you two at least ought to pay two tickets, right?”
——
After Xia Xiaohe explained the mission, she left Mount Qi and took away all the novels and her belongings in the small lake house. It appeared that she would not come back again.
This surprised Bai Ze and Xuan Mo very much. When Xia Xiaohe previously infiltrated Mount Qi School, Xia Xiaohe had spent a lot of trouble. Not only to a.s.sa.s.sinate the previous leader quietly but also to brainwash everyone else in the School so that they were not surprised at the new leader Xia Xiaohe. After that, she personally remodeled the little lake house so that it could meet her aesthetic taste. They thought that she had worked this hard to make this place her long-time stronghold. But now, she walked away cleanly without any attachment.
For Poxu, this was not at all surprising. Xia Xiaohe had always been unpredictable. What she did with great fanfare may not be what she really wanted to do, but her careless move might become the key to success. In addition, she was moody and erratic, she even gave the Immortal King Xia Yu a headache. Rather than wasting time trying to figure out her mind, it was better to just act according to her plan.
With such a thought, Poxu quietly arrived at the foot of Spirit Sword Mountain in the Blue River Region.
At this time, he was still dressed as a scholar and still had the character “Xu” great illusion immortal technique. Thus, his illusion was perfect. Even at the foot of Spirit Sword Mountain, no one could see through his real body.
Following along the map, Poxu soon came to the famous Ru Family Inn.
“Very well, the next step is to find a way to see the master of this place…”
In order to avoid beating the gra.s.s to scare the snake, he did not use the immortal magical ability to lock the other party’s position in advance, but had already inquired about it along the way. The Lady Boss Feng Ling had settled here for a long time, so it was highly unlikely that she would go far from here.
Just as he thought about it, he suddenly saw two big burly men flying out of Ru Family Inn and then rolled all the way along the ramp of Spirit Creek Town.
A girl who looked about fourteen to fifteen years old looked at the two men who vomited blood and fainted with a look of disgust and then spat out, “You reckless thing dare to be picky about food taste here?”
The people around had long been familiar with this scene. Senior Immortal Poxu, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised.
Hah, it really takes no effort to find her!
