Chapter 191: Targeting Jiang Lan
He agreed to Xiaoyu’s request.
Perhaps it would take some time, but the time he needed to advance to the next realm now was longer than before.
Some delays would not affect much.
Especially during the day.
He spent most of the day reading.
It was nothing much to go for a stroll at the Jade Pool.
Moreover, the Jade Pool had a path of the Great Dao. There might be benefits to signing in there.
He had long wanted to go up and sign in there.
As for the flowers…
Perhaps as long as it was not the flower of the Ninth Summit, it should be able to adapt to the Jade Pool.
There was no reason why Xiao Yu would not know of it…
Jiang Lan didn’t think too much about it, and he started to take out the book on Catoptric Deflection.
He planned to continue comprehending Catoptric Deflection and hopefully set up a spiritual inn.
What he wanted to create was naturally not an inn, but a courtyard.
He wanted to create a spiritual courtyard.
This way, Xiao Yu would be able to play by herself while he read books.
However, after reading for a while, he suddenly heard the sound of someone stepping on water.
He looked up and saw Xiao Yu stepping heavily on the water in front of him.
Seeing him look over, Xiao Yu stopped stepping on the water and pointed at Jiang Lan’s book.
“Junior Brother, you’re rude.”
Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu with a confused expression.
“We came out to play together but you are actually cultivating again,” Xiao Yu said seriously.
However, he had a feeling that she was being serious on purpose.
This was rather surprising.
Jiang Lan looked at Xiao Yu and felt strange.
He was not disgusted by her words.
He closed the book and said softly.
“But I can’t play with water like Senior Sister.”
Xiao Yu was still young, but he was already an adult.
He was at the age where he was not suitable for playing with water.
At that moment, he finally understood why Xiao Yu could not show so many expressions when she was in her normal state.
It was one thing to not be used to it in front of him, but it was another to not be able to let it go.
He could not suddenly change to a bubbly and childish person after being cold and aloof for a long time. Neither could Ao Longyu.
“That’s true.” Xiao Yu nodded and asked curiously.
“Then what did you plan to cultivate just now?”
“This.” Jiang Lan picked up the book and let Xiao Yu read the name.
Xiao Yu knew this book, so there was no need to explain too much.
“Junior Brother, you can understand it?” Xiao Yu was rather surprised.
She had opened this book before. There were no words in it.
“If you look at it with your mind, you can see a thing or two.” Jiang Lan explained simply.
Xiao Yu jumped out of the water and landed in front of Jiang Lan. She asked.
“Can I try it?”
Jiang Lan passed the book to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu sat beside Jiang Lan and began to flip through the pages.
Except…
A moment later, Xiao Yu returned the book to Jiang Lan.
“Still no words.”
Jiang Lan took the book and thought for a moment.
“There might be a restriction.”
As long as he flipped through it casually, he would be able to see it with his mind. There was no reason for Xiao Yu to not see it.
Unless Xiaoyu could not read it.
“Where did this book come from?”
Xiao Yu felt that Jiang Lan was right. As long as she knew where the book came from, she would be able to confirm it.
“The innkeeper gave it to me.”
“The innkeeper?”
“Yeah.”
“Does this have something to do with the spiritual inn?”
“Yeah.”
Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan in silence.
She had mentioned it before. Did Jiang Lan…
Without saying anything, she jumped into the lake and said.
“Junior Brother, help me look around.”
Before Jiang Lan could ask for details, Xiao Yu plunged into the water.
Why did she suddenly jump into the lake? Jiang Lan was puzzled.
The moment Xiao Yu entered the lake, she turned into a snow-white dragon.
Then, it sank to the bottom of the lake.
Jiang Lan stood up and tried to observe.
After using the power of a Human Immortal to check the bottom of the lake and confirming that there was no danger, he decided to let Xiao Yu do what she wanted.
However, Xiao Yu was no longer a young dragon. She had grown a lot bigger than the first time he saw her.
Speaking of the bathing scene, was he going to see it first-hand later?
He stopped thinking about it.
It was just Xiao Yu coming out of the lake.
After a long time, new ripples appeared in the originally calm lake water.
He knew that Xiao Yu was coming up.
Slosh.
Water began to rise.
Initially, Jiang Lan thought that a dragon would appear. However, he realized that the moment Xiao Yu emerged from the water, her body was glowing.
Following that, she slowly revealed herself in the form of Senior Sister Ao.
She was wearing a blue and white outfit, and water droplets streaked around her.
Her long hair and clothes were dry.
At this moment, Senior Sister Ao was standing barefoot on the surface of the lake, a shining bead in her hand as she looked at Jiang Lan.
She was like a beauty coming out from the water.
Ao Longyu lowered her head to look at her chest. Then, it began to change.
Soon, it became the size of a 15 year old’s.
It had the size of the normal Xiao Yu.
The clothes became smaller. Was her clothes her scales?
This thought flashed through Jiang Lan’s mind.
He could try to see if the clothes were dragon scales using his Eyes of Truth one day.
Da da!
Xiao Yu stepped on the surface of the lake and flew up.
She landed in front of Jiang Lan.
“Junior Brother, what do you think this is?” Xiao Yu passed the pearl in her hand to Jiang Lan.
Taking the pearl, Jiang Lan knew what it was with just a glance.
“Water Repelling Pearl.”
“I’ll give it to you as…” Xiao Yu wanted to say that she was going to give her this pearl as thanks for bringing her to the lake, but she quickly changed her mind.
“I’ll give it to you for helping me take a look at the soil beside the Jade Pool.”
Helping her see if there was anyone around was not considered a transaction.
It was her Junior Brother’s… duty.
After all, very few people knew that she had a younger version.
It was a secret between them.
The Water Repelling Pearl wasn’t much of a treasure.
But it was still okay.
Jiang Lan put it away.
He would never reject Xiao Yu’s gift.
In the past, they had always conducted fair transactions.
After the engagement, their dealings were no longer fair.
He had never thought of the value of the present.
There was no need for fair transactions anymore.
In the future, they would probably just mention a random reason to give a gift to the other party.
Further towards the future, they would probably just give the gift to the other party directly.
It would probably be as such.
Jiang Lan couldn’t confirm either.
…
…
Kunlun Main Hall.
There were six to seven people sitting here.
“The demons are about to attack the Netherworld’s Entrance. Although I didn’t see the details, they should be doing something during the next eruption of the Netherworld’s Entrance. But we also need to be concerned if someone is using the demons as a shield,” said Chen Xi as she looked at everyone.
This was not a small matter.
“I will only guard the Ninth Summit. I will not interfere with anything beyond the Ninth Summit,” Mo Zhengdong said.
“It has nothing to do with the First Summit, so I won’t interfere either,” Feng Yixiao said with a smile.
The others nodded slightly without any objections.
It was as if it was meant to be so.
“Then the majority of the work will lie on the Eighth Summit,” Liu Jing of the Second Summit said as he looked at Jiu Zhongtian.
“You guys can make the arrangements.” Jiu Zhongtian did not have any disagreement.
“But the Dragon Race is coming. You all should have also received the news. The Dragon Race seems to have obtained some critical treasure, causing the demons to retreat in defeat,” said Third Summit’s Zhu Qing.
“Don’t worry too much about the Dragon Race. They are only here to regain their dignity.. We would definitely have to fight in the end.
However, it should be between the younger generation. They wouldn’t dare to fight us. They haven’t recovered to begin with. They won’t fight us unless they’re stupid. As for the demons…” Miao Yue frowned slightly. “Some of them have been looking for trouble.”
Liu Jing looked at Mo Zhengdong and said, “The Dragon Race will target the Goddess’ fiance, and the Demon Race will target the Netherworld Entrance and Jiang Lan.”
