74: Su Yuntao is here

When the Single-Horned Thunder Dragon approached, A Rou, her daughter, and the other guards all instinctively ran far away.

Even though they knew the Single-Horned Thunder Dragon belonged to Yu Mengzhang and wouldn't attack them,

the faint Divine Might emanating from its body was still terrifyingly intimidating.

Especially for the mother and daughter duo, A Rou and Xiao Wu, who were transformed Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts; they squeezed their legs together, feeling an urge to defecate in fear, just like they used to when encountering natural enemies in the past.

Su Yuntao and Sisi both breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies going weak, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Sisi was in an even worse state; she had already leaked a little.

After all, she was a plump and juicy normal young woman.

She couldn't help but glance at Su Yuntao, noting his pale face and how he had stood frozen just now.

She cursed secretly in her heart: 'A guy like this actually has the nerve to pursue me?'

'Shouldn't he have taken the initiative to run and lead that Spirit Beast away, giving me the chance to escape?'

'What a total turn-off!'

Sisi looked at the Single-Horned Thunder Dragon again. Now, there was no trace of a terrifying Spirit Beast; it looked entirely like a little puppy meeting its master.

Furthermore, that oppressive aura that had weighed on them was rapidly dissipating.

Su Yuntao calmed his nerves and walked over to Sisi's side, asking with concern, "Sisi, are you alright?"

Sisi gave a hollow laugh. "I'm fine. Are we still going to continue the mission?"

Su Yuntao nodded and said seriously, "Of course, Sisi! Since we took this mission, we must finish it!"

Su Yuntao looked at the Single-Horned Thunder Dragon acting affectionately with Yu Mengzhang and summoned his courage.

He felt that his current appearance must look incredibly handsome in Sisi's eyes!

"Let's go together. Sisi, stand behind me," Su Yuntao said softly.

"..."

The corner of Sisi's mouth twitched as she feigned a smile, while inwardly she couldn't help but complain: 'What an absolute idiot!'

"This... little friend, why aren't you afraid of this Spirit Beast? Is there something special about it?"

Su Yuntao squeezed out a smile and asked slowly.

Sisi rolled her eyes. To think Su Yuntao had bragged to her about being a famous 'friend to the local kids' for miles around.

He wasn't friendly at all!

Seeing that the Single-Horned Thunder Dragon didn't look fierce at all, Sisi stood beside Su Yuntao and leaned down. Her collar dipped, revealing a glimpse into a dark abyss with two bright, white, and dazzling peaks.

No child could handle this; he'd surely blush!

And then he'd have to tell her everything truthfully!

Sisi also flashed a smile. "Little brother, can you tell big sister what your name is?"

Yu Mengzhang glanced at the two of them, his golden eyes quickly sizing them up.

Sisi's 'assets' were indeed substantial, but they failed to move him in the slightest.

"What have you come here for?" Yu Mengzhang asked in a distant tone.

Instantly, both Su Yuntao and Sisi felt as if they were being looked down upon by a deity.

Even though they were adults and much taller than Yu Mengzhang,

they now felt as if they were the ones looking up.

Moreover, they absolutely did not dare to look into Yu Mengzhang's eyes again.

Sisi even clutched her chest, tucking away her two 'great divine abilities' and no longer daring to act flirtatious. She felt as though it were a form of sacrilege that would invite Divine Punishment!

"I, we..."

Su Yuntao didn't know why, but it was as if Yu Mengzhang possessed some kind of magic that made him unable to refuse.

"We are Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall..."

Su Yuntao directly blurted out the entire story from beginning to end.

Sisi added details from the side, terrified of leaving anything out.

They had clearly come to scout for information, yet now they were laying bare all their own secrets.

Was this even logical?!

The fear in their hearts grew deeper and deeper.

Yet in front of Yu Mengzhang, they didn't dare to harbor even a single thought of resistance!

Yu Mengzhang frowned slightly. The nobles had their schemes; now they were looking for Spirit Hall, and in the future, they would likely use other methods.

This also proved that they had likely committed sins that would truly invite Divine Punishment.

Seeing this, Su Yuntao and Sisi became even more panicked.

"You... You are..."

At this moment, A Rou and her daughter finally arrived, no longer feeling fear toward the Single-Horned Thunder Dragon.

Yu Mengzhang had already helped the Single-Horned Thunder Dragon restrain its sacred aura.

"Great Priest, do I need to investigate their identities further?" A Rou asked.

"!!!"

Su Yuntao and Sisi were both shocked. Great Priest?

The 'little kid' in front of them was actually their target?

And he even kept a Spirit Beast as a pet?

Fortunately, their Spirit Hall hadn't come to make things difficult directly; otherwise, a single Single-Horned Thunder Dragon would have been enough to wipe them all out!

Yu Mengzhang said, "No need. Leave."

Yu Mengzhang couldn't be bothered to intimidate the two. He had even severely injured Bibi Dong with a casual strike.

The Spirit Hall in this place was something he could deal with with a single Divine Lightning bolt.

"Thank you, Gr... Great Priest..."

Su Yuntao and Sisi were very obedient, knowing when to yield.

Sisi guaranteed, "Great Priest, after we return, we will definitely explain the situation to the Hall Master. The Azure Dragon Temple was completely framed! We have all heard of the Azure Dragon Divine Lord's deeds; he is a benevolent deity..."

Sisi was about to keep praising him, but Yu Mengzhang didn't care to listen and turned to head up the mountain.

He had no interest in getting involved in these intrigues.

If anyone tried to disturb his cultivation, he would strike with Divine Punishment; if it were more serious, he would simply annihilate them.

Xiao Wu curled her lip and muttered in a low voice, "Slut!"

A Rou's face darkened. Where had Xiao Wu learned such foul language?

...Spirit Hall.

Su Yuntao and Sisi ran back almost in one breath. Upon reaching the main gate, they nearly collapsed to their knees together.

The Spirit Hall Spirit Masters who hadn't left yet helped them up, all looking completely bewildered.

"What happened?"

Everyone was confused.

Su Yuntao waved his hand and asked for water first.

He gulped it down into his stomach.

Sisi took a moment to recover and then said she was going to take a bath—she really had leaked!

The Hall Master who came to receive them was incredibly perplexed. What on earth was going on?

"What exactly is the situation with the Azure Dragon Temple? Speak up!" the Hall Master said helplessly.

Su Yuntao finally caught his breath and let out a long sigh.

"Hall Master... don't, don't... don't provoke the Azure Dragon Temple anymore! They aren't someone we can afford to offend!"

With a face full of lingering fear, Su Yuntao recounted their encounter.

After listening, the Hall Master was stunned and said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Spirit Beasts cannot coexist peacefully with humans, let alone a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast! Your memory must be wrong!"

Sisi entered the room at that moment and said solemnly:

"What we said is all true! Hall Master, if you don't believe it, then go find trouble with the Divine Dragon Hall yourself. Anyway, I'm not going back there to die!"

Sisi sat to the side. Thinking of the Single-Horned Thunder Dragon and Yu Mengzhang's eyes, she couldn't help but squeeze her legs together, feeling like she was about to leak again!

A single trip to the Azure Dragon Temple had nearly left her with a permanent condition!

The Hall Master's brow furrowed; this situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"No wonder those nobles were so enthusiastic, donating money and praising them. However, have you forgotten? Our Spirit Hall isn't just this one branch!"

"If we can't make the decision, then we report it to our superiors!"

The Hall Master smiled calmly, not taking it to heart.
