162: Chapter 162 Beautiful Frog Fairy

Although the Disciples of the Xiang Family had long been dispersed, their home had been destroyed, and the task of rebuilding was imminent. Everyone felt heavy-hearted.

"Old Ancestor, spare me! I truly did not know that Jue'er... no, that beast, would actually collude with the Demon Race!"

Xiang Qin pressed his forehead against the ground, kowtowing forcefully until his forehead was soon dripping with blood.

If this matter could not be clarified, his entire Family would likely be implicated, resulting in the execution of their whole clan.

The Ancestor of the Xiang Clan had a cold expression; clearly, he would not let them off so easily.

He snorted coldly: "Hmph! You had better recall carefully where Xiang Jue has been and what outrageous things he has done all these years. If there is even a shred of concealment, do not blame this old man for being ruthless!"

"I... I..." Xiang Qin was so anxious he was drenched in sweat, his brain racing.

He tried desperately to recall Xiang Jue's past movements, but no matter how he searched, he still had no leads, his face filled with despair.

"Husband, I remember that three years ago, he went out for a month and only returned in a rush after that month had passed." Just then, the middle-aged woman beside Xiang Qin suddenly spoke up.

"What? Why didn't you say so earlier!" Xiang Qin, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, violently grabbed the woman's shoulders. The woman frowned from his grip.

She shook her head gently: "I only know he went out for a month. As for where exactly he went or what he did, I truly do not know; he never mentioned it after he returned."

Xiang Qin's heart sank instantly once more. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, trembling all over.

The Ancestor of the Xiang Clan furrowed his brows even tighter. He thought to himself: Where on earth did Xiang Jue go during that month? And what did he do? This is definitely the key to uncovering his collusion with the Demon Race!

"Old Xiang, this matter is of great importance." Ancestor Zhou stepped forward, his expression grave.

"I reckon it won't be long before people from the Cultivator Alliance arrive upon hearing the news."

The Lingyun Continent has always been peaceful; how could the Demon Race appear for no reason?

Furthermore, Cultivators who enter from outside the continent have their cultivation suppressed by the laws of the world.

It is the first time seeing someone like Xiang Jue, who has been possessed by the Demon Race as a vessel and can still retain such formidable strength.

If this situation happens a few more times, the entire Lingyun Continent will likely be in jeopardy.

"Cough, cough!"

Just as everyone was at a loss, two slightly weak figures slowly walked over. It was Hall Master Li and the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage.

After the great battle, the two had been hiding in the deep pit to heal their injuries, so no one had noticed their presence.

"Greetings, Hall Master Li!" Seeing this, the several Old Ancestors, led by Ancestor Zhou, hurriedly bowed and cupped their hands in salute.

"No need for formalities." Hall Master Li waved his hand, his brows still tightly locked.

"I have already reported the situation here to the Cultivator Alliance. You must remember, do not spread the news about the Demon Race appearing here for the time being, so as not to cause panic."

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison, nodding one after another.

Hall Master Li's gaze then fell upon the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage.

He said in a deep voice: "The grudges between us shall be set aside for today. In consideration of you joining forces with me to deal with the Demon Race, we shall settle our accounts another time."

But the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage did not pay him any heed, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. Finally, it landed on Xiang Tian.

Before anyone could react, his figure flashed. Fast as lightning, he grabbed Xiang Tian by the collar and lifted him up.

"What do you want to do to Xiang Tian?" Yue Lin, Princess Zhou Zhiyan, and the other women's expressions changed drastically, and they all took a step forward.

They wanted to step up to rescue him, but they were wary of the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage's strength.

"I have business with him; it has nothing to do with you." The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage's tone was cold.

Carrying Xiang Tian, his figure flashed, turning into a green light. He disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

At the peak of a mountain that soared into the clouds, the wild wind howled.

The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage put Xiang Tian down and looked down at him. His tone was cold: "Your name is Xiang Tian?"

Xiang Tian was shocked and hurriedly cupped his hands in a salute.

He said respectfully: "Senior, this one is indeed Xiang Tian."

He could feel the formidable Aura coming from the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage and dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

"Hurry up and release Frog Fairy."

The Aura on the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage surged violently, and thick toxic Qi swirled around his body.

Xiang Tian dared not delay and hurriedly moved his mind. He released Frog Fairy from his storage space.

"Father!" As soon as Frog Fairy appeared, she hopped happily onto the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage's shoulder.

She rubbed her little head against his cheek.

"You girl, how could you casually acknowledge a Human Race as your master?" The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage looked at his daughter on his shoulder.

"Father, listen to me..."

Frog Fairy chattered on, recounting the whole story of how her cultivation was sealed, how she was hunted by a snake demon, and how she was eventually saved by Xiang Tian.

The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage's expression froze slightly upon hearing this.

He said in an unhappy tone: "You mean to say, I should thank him?"

"Of course!" Frog Fairy stood with her little claws akimbo. She rubbed her head against his green face.

"If you hadn't sealed my cultivation, how could I have been chased by a tiny snake? If Master hadn't happened to pass by and save me, the two of us father and daughter might never have been able to see each other again! If you dare to hurt Master, that would be returning kindness with ingratitude!"

The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage's body shook, and the anger on his face dissipated by more than half in an instant.

Thinking about it carefully, this matter was indeed his own oversight.

If Xiang Tian hadn't saved Frog Fairy, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

A Human Race that could reach out to save a Yao Race—this Heart-Nature was truly rare.

He took a deep breath and cupped his hands towards Xiang Tian.

His tone softened a lot: "Thank you, little friend, for saving my daughter's life."

"Hmph! So stingy! You saved your precious daughter, and all you have is a verbal thank you?" Frog Fairy snorted in dissatisfaction, looking disgusted.

Xiang Tian stood to the side, silently watching the interaction between father and daughter, not saying much.

He could tell that although the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage looked fierce on the outside, he was not a wicked person. On the contrary, he loved his daughter very much.

"You girl, you dare to be picky?"

The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage glared helplessly at Frog Fairy. Then, pestered by her, he lost his temper: "Then what do you want?"

"You have to give Master some treasures as a thank-you gift!" Frog Fairy raised her little head and said confidently.

The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage's mouth twitched.

This girl, she was really turning her elbows outward; she had just acknowledged a master and already forgotten her own father.

But seeing his daughter's expectant eyes, he ultimately didn't refuse. He just said crossly: "I know, I know."

He raised his brow slightly and looked at Xiang Tian.

"By the way, this Human Race boy probably hasn't seen what you look like when you transform, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian's eyes darted around quickly.

He muttered to himself: So this Little Frog can also transform? If she looks like her father with a frog head and human body, that would be too scary!

As soon as the thought arose, he couldn't help but shiver. Goosebumps broke out all over his body instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

"Father, you have the nerve to say that!" Frog Fairy glared at the Arrow-Poison Demon Sage crossly, her tone full of grievance.

"You sealed my cultivation, so how could I transform?"

"Oh? That was indeed this father's oversight." The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage patted his forehead and then pointed with his fingertip.

A green light landed on Frog Fairy. "Mm! I will unseal you right now."

The green light dissipated, and Frog Fairy's body gradually grew larger.

The originally petite and exquisite Little Frog turned into a half-human-sized green giant frog in the blink of an eye, looking slightly ugly.

"Damn, how did you become ugly?" Xiang Tian couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the enlarged Frog Fairy.

He really couldn't bear to look and hurriedly turned his head to the side.

"Master, you actually dare to say I'm ugly!" Frog Fairy was puffed up with anger. She reached out her claw and grabbed Xiang Tian's sleeve.

Her big, round eyes stared fixedly at him. "Is this Young Miss ugly or not?"

"Uh... you can't expect me to say something against my conscience, right!" Xiang Tian rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Hmph! If you don't praise me for being beautiful, I won't transform, and I'll keep following you like this!" Frog Fairy snorted coldly.

She had the posture of someone who wouldn't give up until he compromised.

Hearing this, Xiang Tian panicked immediately. He didn't want to face a big green frog all day.

"Uh... Xiaoxian is the most beautiful, you are the most beautiful in the whole world!"

"That's more like it." Frog Fairy then let go of his sleeve with satisfaction. The anger on her face dissipated instantly.

Immediately after, her figure gradually shrank, and green light swirled around her.

A moment later, the green light dissipated, and a young girl in a green dress appeared.

The girl had two round buns on top of her head, and a head of long, shiny black hair hung down to her shoulders.

Her face was exquisite and beautiful, her skin was fair and delicate, and her eyes were lively.

Her whole body exuded a cute and charming air; no one could link her to the ugly giant frog from just a moment ago.

"Master, am I beautiful now?" Frog Fairy hopped in front of Xiang Tian.

She blinked her lively, big eyes at him.

Xiang Tian hurriedly nodded, "Beautiful, too beautiful! Your transformation is indeed beautiful and cute; compared to my wives and the others, you are not inferior at all."

"It's good that you know this Young Miss is beautiful!" Frog Fairy raised her little head triumphantly.

The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage took in their conversation. Immediately, he had a plan in mind. His brief gaze fell on Xiang Tian again, and he raised his brow slightly.

"Little friend, I see that you and Xiaoxian are quite compatible, and you have already formed a contract; how about I betroth Xiaoxian to you, how is that?"

Xiaoxian had been naughty and mischievous since she was young. He was busy with affairs in his daily life and hadn't been able to take good care of her.

It was not easy for her to meet a Human Race now who was willing to save her and whom she was willing to follow wholeheartedly.

Moreover, the Family tribe was currently facing constant troubles and disputes.

Following Xiang Tian, Xiaoxian could instead stay away from the disputes, be more carefree, and have an extra layer of protection.

Hearing this, Frog Fairy's eyes lit up instantly. But upon second thought, she pouted.

She whispered: "Father, are you sure? You might not know, but Master has quite a few women."

In Master's residence, she was naturally already familiar with Xiahou Yu, Princess Zhou Zhiyan, and the others.

"Hm? So young, and he already has several Dao Companions?" The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage frowned.

His gaze towards Xiang Tian also held a bit more inquiry. To think that this seemingly ordinary Human Race boy actually had such charm!

Xiang Tian hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands in a salute again.

"Senior, thank you for your kindness. Xiaoxian is innocent, cute, simple, and kind; I will definitely treat her well, never let her suffer the slightest grievance, and protect her well-being. As for the matter of becoming Dao Companions, I think it is better to leave it for now."

To be honest, at this moment, he still found it hard to accept the idea of a Human and Yao falling in love.

He then changed the subject and looked at Xiang Tian.

He raised his brow slightly: "Little friend, I see that you and Xiaoxian are quite compatible, and you have already formed a contract; how about I betroth Xiaoxian to you, how is that?"

He had already calculated it in his heart.

Xiaoxian had been naughty and mischievous since she was young, and he was busy with affairs in his daily life, so he hadn't been able to take good care of her.

It was not easy for her to meet a Human Race now who was willing to save her and whom she was willing to follow wholeheartedly.

Moreover, the Family tribe was currently facing constant troubles.

Following Xiang Tian, Xiaoxian could instead be more carefree.

Hearing this, Frog Fairy's eyes lit up. But upon second thought, she pouted, and whispered: "Father, are you sure? You might not know, but Master has quite a few women."

In Xiang Tian's residence, she was naturally already familiar with Xiahou Yu, Princess Zhou Zhiyan, and the others.

Naturally, she knew about Xiang Tian's situation.

"Hm? So young, and he already has several Dao Companions?" The Arrow-Poison Demon Sage frowned.

His gaze towards Xiang Tian also held a bit more inquiry.

Xiang Tian hurriedly stepped forward and said, cupping his hands: "Senior, thank you for your kindness. Xiaoxian is innocent and cute; I will definitely treat her well and never let her suffer the slightest grievance. As for the matter of becoming Dao Companions, I think it is better to leave it for now."

To be honest, at this moment, he still found it hard to accept the idea of a Human and Yao falling in love.
