Chapter 101: Watching the Trending Topics Under the Dragon Gate
Yang Jiao rode on a red cloud, carrying Yang Jian on her back and pulling her little tricycle.
When its magic power was exhausted, it fell directly off the cloud.
By this time, they were already tens of thousands of miles away from the western border.
Mosquito Taoist transformed into human form, caught Yang Jiao, and casually lifted Yang Jian up with two fingers.
He asked Yang Jiao:
"Don't fall asleep! Tell me where we can get water from the river estuary..."
The mosquitoes are so helpless.
I'm so hungry right now, my stomach is rumbling. The little girl smells quite nice, actually... this little boy smells quite nice too...
No, no, this little boy may be a bit annoying, but I'm going to suck him dry until he dies.
Mosquito Taoist flapped his wings and began to beg Yang Jian again:
"You lost the fight, and you promised to make up for it by giving me the good drink."
She felt extremely wronged at that moment.
Those outside are even less trustworthy than those inside the sea of blood.
Yang Jian looked at Yang Jiao, who was already completely exhausted, and said with a quick glance:
"You help my sister recover first, and I'll not only give you this to drink, but I'll also give you a whole bottle when we get back."
Really? Really? Really?
Mosquito Taoist leaned close to Yang Jian, his eyes sparkling.
Only after Yang Jian nodded firmly did she smile with relief, and she placed her finger on Yang Jiao's brow, allowing an aura of ancient times to enter Yang Jiao's body.
"Such strong energy!"
The sudden movement caused Yang Jiao to open her eyes wide, her Heavenly Eye almost bursting out.
Fortunately, Yang Jiao quickly regained her composure.
But the abundant magical power emanating from his body couldn't fool him; this Mosquito Taoist was extremely powerful.
Even the Great Master Taiyi might not possess such skill.
It was definitely a good decision to bring her on my side.
Seeing Yang Jiao awake, Mosquito Taoist shook his slender fingers, which were scalded, and pouted as he leaned close to Yang Jian, saying:
“Something’s wrong with your sister’s head. Look, I’m injured, but even the Styx Ancestor couldn’t tear off my skin…”
"So, how about you give me two big bottles when you get home?"
After she finished speaking, she snatched the baby bottle from Yang Jian's arms, gulped it down, and then licked her lips with a lingering smack of her tongue, saying how delicious it was.
"You! My milk! Mine!" Yang Jian was almost crying in desperation.
Yang Jiao had no time to care about her younger brother. She was still terrified by what had just happened. Looking around, she realized that she was not far from Guanjiang Estuary and that the Styx Ancestor had not chased after her. So she rode her tricycle back home.
Until it falls back into the Longmen Gorge at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
The unease in my heart was finally relieved.
only……
When did a table full of fruits appear below the Dragon Gate?
Exquisitely crafted, made from solid wood.
It looks quite unique.
After she led Mosquito Taoist and her younger brother to sit down, she saw Peach Spirit Willow Monster hopping over on one leg, the two demons holding a glass of watermelon juice in their hands.
This red liquid, with its sweet smell...
Mosquito Taoist stepped forward, took the cup, covered the rim with his mouth, tilted his head back, and gulped it down.
The all-seeing and all-hearing birds immediately shouted:
"This is what I prepared for my little aunt!"
Yang Jiao, fearing that the Mosquito Taoist would suck them both up in one gulp, quickly came to their rescue:
"This is my friend, please take good care of him."
Upon hearing that it was a friend of their aunt, the two of them stopped being angry and hopped off on one leg to make watermelon juice.
Mosquito Taoist sat down next to Yang Jiao and commented:
"It's sweet, but not as delicious as milk."
He propped himself up on the ground and waited anxiously for Yang Jiao.
Coincidentally, Yang Jian's stomach also started growling.
Yang Jiao sighed. Returning the talisman had really upset her younger brother, as all his milk had been taken away.
He then said:
"You all wait here patiently for me, I'll go home and get it."
Mosquito Taoist immediately nodded obediently, sitting up straight like a kindergarten child waiting for cookies.
The one who behaved exceptionally well even made Yang Jian sit still and not move around, or else she would spit out a mouthful of milk!
Yang Jiao returned quickly, carrying two large bottles with her.
It instantly satisfied both the big and the small needs.
Beneath the Dragon Gate, the two lay side by side on the ground, watching the blue sky and white clouds, and the Dragon Gate jumping performance, drinking to their hearts' content.
Yang Jian glanced at the Mosquito Taoist while he was at it, and taught her:
"Don't drink so fast, you won't be able to taste it. Take a sip and savor it..."
"Ah~ makes it taste even better."
As a piece of advice based on experience, Yang Jian spoke very seriously.
Mosquito Taoist shifted his shoulders to be aligned with Yang Jian, then, mimicking his posture, looked up at the sky, took a small breath, and then:
"Ah~"
My eyes suddenly lit up!
His vertical pupils suddenly became round, and two highlights appeared!
"that is true!"
She smacked her lips, finding it all incredibly amazing.
He immediately decided in his heart that Yang Jian was his good friend.
Looking at the two who seemed more and more like children than the other, Yang Jiao chuckled and turned to grab a handful of melon seeds from the table, asking Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears:
"Tell me quickly, what's been happening around here lately?"
The all-seeing and all-hearing beings handed over a glass of juice and said:
"Yesterday, King Yin Shou of Chaoge gouged out one of his wife Queen Jiang's eyes and tortured her to death in the West Palace by branding her hands with hot irons."
"The Chan Sect has also been in turmoil recently. Several True Men, led by Taiyi Zhenren, have reported to the Heavenly Court that there is unrest in various places."
"The Heavenly Court first sent troops to suppress the rebellion, and then conveniently placed deities in various places. I heard that many of the Chan Sect's cave dwellings have lost things."
They didn't quite understand, and wondered to themselves:
"Why are the Chan Sect and the Heavenly Court suddenly at odds? It seems like neither of them wants the other to be idle, and they've caused quite a commotion."
Yang Jiao found it strange as well.
It seems that during the two years he was in seclusion, Daji had already entered Chaoge. Now that Queen Jiang is dead, it seems that King Wen of Zhou will soon be summoned to imprison her for seven years.
It will be seven years before Jiang Ziya emerges from seclusion...
There are still seven years until the Heavenly Court's calamity...
but,
Aren't the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect on the same side?
How did they start fighting amongst themselves?
As Yang Jiao sorted things out, she realized that there were quite a few discrepancies.
However, that was a contest between a saint and a quasi-saint. She was just a minor earth immortal. All she had to do was ensure that Yao Ji, Yang Tianyou, and she survived that calamity.
Even becoming a saint couldn't stop the Investiture of the Gods calamity; it was Hongjun who instructed the saints to act.
Unless one draws fifty Pangu fragments at once, summons him directly to possess his abilities, and then gives the Heavenly Dao a huge advantage.
Otherwise, Heaven will treat you like you're beating a grandson.
Yang Jiao thought for a long time, and seeing that it was getting dark, she waved to Yang Jian and said:
"Jian'er, it's time to go home."
Yang Jian immediately sucked the last drop of milk clean and happily snuggled up to his sister.
"Okay, sister."
Ever since he called her "sister" at the Blood Sea, he's been calling her that so naturally now.
Mosquito Taoist quickly finished his milk, smacked his lips with an "Ah~" sound, and then leaned closer to imitate him:
"Okay, sister."
……
Yang Jiao was quite frightened and quickly pushed away the face that was almost demonically beautiful but revealed a bewildered and innocent expression, saying:
"Just lie on the Dragon Gate, I'll come to see you often."
Mosquito Taoist hugged the Dragon Gate pillar in a wronged manner, with one leg lying on it, almost ready to throw a tantrum.
Yang Jiao quickly pulled Yang Jian away and ran.
Mosquito Taoist slowly stretched out a hand towards the direction Yang Jiao had left, and said reluctantly:
"She's gone..."
"She just left like that..."
"She left me and went home?"
But I have no home...
wrong!
Yang Jiao's home is my home.
She said she would take care of my food and drink!
She must have some other delicious drinks at home!
"Don't even think about secretly giving it only to Yang Jian! I want some too!"
Mosquito Taoist immediately transformed into a flying mosquito, concealing his presence as he gave chase.
