310: Jiang Yu, a habitual baby thief
"Jiang Yu, you stole my daughter again! I'll kill you..."
Zhi Meng's furious voice scattered the boundless auspicious clouds, her voice like rolling thunder, imbued with majestic divine power.
The disciples flying on their swords nearly fell from mid-air.
Their faces were pale, and cold sweat poured down.
Zhi Meng's terrifying Daoist sound echoed uncontrollably in their minds, like heavenly might, or boundless thunder converging in their heads.
In the lecture hall.
After exiting the secret realm, the Shaking Light Saint Son was eager to increase his combat power.
He was either cultivating divine abilities and secret techniques to grow stronger, or he was lecturing his fellow disciples to verify his own Daoist methods and divine abilities.
On the path to becoming stronger, he was ceaseless and diligent.
He didn't aim to catch up to the monster Gu Qing, but only to catch up to Xing Yue and Xi Ling.
Hearing the sound, the Shaking Light Saint Son stopped his lecture, looked up at the sky, his expression calm, but his heart was churning with stormy waves.
He was also affected by Zhi Meng's terrifying Daoist sound; under her grand and majestic voice, he felt like an ant beneath the nine heavens, facing the glorious might of heaven.
To see one spot and know the whole leopard; to see one leaf and know deep autumn.
If Zhi Meng's voice alone was so terrifying, one could imagine how astonishing her strength was.
"How can such a monstrous talent exist in this world?" the Shaking Light Saint Son thought, utterly devastated.
Before Zhi Meng and Gu Qing came to the Star Dao Sect, he had always believed that he was unrivaled among his peers.
Thus, he had always looked down upon the masses with a detached mindset, viewing his contemporaries as mediocre clowns.
But ever since Gu Qing appeared, everything changed.
His proud strength couldn't even withstand one punch from Gu Qing.
Then there was Xing Yue, whose single axe strike completely shattered his arrogant and conceited heart.
Now, there were also Zhi Meng and Jiang Yu.
And this was only what he knew; just in the Primordial Star Domain, so many anomalies had appeared.
What about the entire Immortal Realm?
What about the vast eternity beyond the Immortal Realm?
How many more anomalies like Gu Qing were there in this world?
At this thought, a feeling of powerlessness and frustration arose in the Shaking Light Saint Son's heart.
The many Heaven's Chosen who had come to listen to the Shaking Light Saint Son were now also plunged into a deathly silence.
How many times had Zhi Meng flared up now?
They couldn't remember.
But every time Zhi Meng flared up, it left a deep impression on them, even an indelible shadow on their Dao hearts.
Zhi Meng's Daoist methods and divine abilities were too terrifying.
It was like the wrath of heaven descending.
"As expected of the Peerless Twins, amazing through all ages," Zuo Yu'er murmured with a face full of admiration.
Everyone nodded involuntarily.
These peerless geniuses of the Immortal Realm simply couldn't compare in the slightest.
The two absolutely deserved Zuo Yu'er's praise.
Although Jiang Yu had never displayed overwhelming divine might, nor was she as majestic as a Profound God Great Power, she instead resembled a goddess detached from worldly affairs.
However, Jiang Yu had stolen the child repeatedly, and Zhi Meng had no way to stop her, which showed how terrifying Jiang Yu was.
Compared to the Peerless Twins, even Gu Qing seemed a bit overshadowed.
"Phew!" The Shaking Light Saint Son let out a long breath, regaining his Dao heart, thinking, "Let him be strong, let him be arrogant; my heart is like still water, taking one step at a time."
The Shaking Light Saint Son stood up, no longer in the mood to continue lecturing, and rode an auspicious cloud to observe Zhi Meng from afar.
The more he watched, the more shocked he became.
Zhi Meng's lightning Dao divine ability was too terrifying, even stronger than a cultivator's lightning tribulation.
What kind of existence must Jiang Yu be then?
The Shaking Light Saint Son's eyes were thoughtful, and he suddenly understood why Gu Qing was so heaven-defying.
Why he was the Strongest Zhou Tian Star Divine Body in history.
With the Peerless Twins teaching him, how could Gu Qing not be powerful?
If...
The Shaking Light Saint Son suddenly saw hope of catching up to Gu Qing's footsteps.
If he also received the favor of the Peerless Twins, would he also be like Gu Qing?
Perhaps even surpassing Gu Qing.
Because his physique was inherently more powerful than the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, perhaps even on a different level...
Many Profound God Elders of the Star Dao Sect, including the Sect Master, looked at each other in silence, their faces grim and dripping with gloom.
The entire main hall was filled with a chilling killing intent.
"Alas, the rogue is too powerful, what can be done?" a Profound God Elder sighed, breaking the silent atmosphere.
As soon as he spoke, expressions of worry appeared on everyone's faces.
Indeed, they had never been afraid before.
The Strongest Profound God was nothing more than that; You Kui, being a lone wolf, couldn't stir up any trouble.
They had him completely suppressed.
Even with the addition of Zhi Meng and Jiang Yu, two Profound Gods, they were fearless.
After all, there were only a few of them; what kind of force could they become?
Even if they recruited a large number of disciples and started to challenge them, they wouldn't panic; the advantage was theirs.
After all, they had countless disciples, a multitude of Heavenly God Realm disciples, and innumerable servants.
They also had Immortal King ancestors overseeing them, so their foundation was profound.
What could Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng use to contend with them?
Even if there were a dozen more Profound Gods, and hundreds of thousands more Heavenly God disciples, it would still be like an ant trying to shake a tree.
But now.
The news of Gu Qing and Xi Ling destroying the Jun Family had spread throughout the Immortal Realm.
Gu Qing had an Immortal King protecting his Dao, and he also seemed to have won Xi Ling's heart, which made them completely unable to sit still.
Hong Lan and the others descending upon the Star Dao Sect had scared them quite a bit.
They were afraid that the Immortal King protecting Gu Qing's Dao would come with Immortal King He Guang to seize the orthodox lineage.
As a result, when the four beautiful women came to their door, snatching ten super-large ore veins and their Starry Sky Commerce Association, they only dared to protest verbally.
For the sake of overall stability, they had no choice but to concede.
Rumble!
Thunder and lightning appeared in the void, dark clouds gathered, and heavenly thunder rolled.
"Fight, it's best if both sides are severely wounded and fall together."
Everyone looked up at the sky full of thunderclouds, hoping that the Peerless Twins would fight to the death.
"Jiang Yu, get out here!"
Zhi Meng commanded boundless heavenly thunder, her ice-blue eyes seemingly containing an endless sea of lightning.
She was truly enraged.
How many times had Jiang Yu stolen her daughter now?
Was it fifteen or sixteen times? She couldn't quite remember.
Jiang Yu, relying on her mastery of formations, would steal Xian'er whenever Zhi Meng was slightly inattentive.
It was truly infuriating.
"Master."
Inside Purple Lotus Peak.
Chu Yao's expression changed several times.
Watching Jiang Yu playing with the baby, completely engrossed, she hesitated to speak.
"He he!"
Xian'er was very mischievous and active; her innate origin had been sealed, making her no different from an ordinary infant.
She crawled around on the ground.
Seeing Jiang Yu shake the bell, Xian'er let out giggling laughter, crystal clear drool flowing, her little face very excited, and she quickly crawled towards Jiang Yu.
Seeing Jiang Yu raise the bell, Xian'er laughed even more happily, climbing up from her thigh.
"Mmm-ah, smack."
"My little darling is so clever."
Jiang Yu picked up Xian'er, kissed her hard, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her drool.
"Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling."
"He he!"
Xian'er's chubby little hands grabbed the bell and swung it back and forth, laughing non-stop.
"Giggle, little darling, that's not how you shake the bell, it's like this..." Jiang Yu's exquisite face bloomed with a smile, incomparably beautiful.
"Master, please return Xian'er to her."
Chu Yao couldn't help but speak; if they kept playing, Zhi Meng would really lose her temper.
"No, I stole her with my own ability, why should I return her?"
"Ah?"
Chu Yao's beautiful eyes widened, full of shock, as if she couldn't believe that her sensible, gentle-as-water Master would say such a thing.
"My meaning is, no rush to return her, let her be anxious for a bit first."
Jiang Yu stroked Xian'er's soft little head, full of reluctance.
"He he!" Xian'er squirmed in her arms, her bright, clear eyes showing innocent ignorance.
Jiang Yu looked at her silly appearance, completely smitten, and became even more reluctant to hand her over.
"Rumble!"
After waiting for a while and not seeing Jiang Yu come out, Zhi Meng was furious, commanding the boundless sea of thunder to bombard the great formation.
"Alas!"
"Darling, your tigress mother is going crazy again. I'll play with you next time."
Jiang Yu's jade-like hand covered Xian'er's soft little head, stroking it as she leisurely walked out of the formation.
"Take your dirty hands off her."
Seeing this, Zhi Meng was so angry her lungs were about to explode. She snatched her daughter and left without looking back.
This time, she directly left the Star Dao Sect, fleeing far into the Primordial Star Domain.
She was truly tired of being stolen from.
Xian'er would be stolen whenever she was slightly inattentive.
The formations she had people set up were useless against Jiang Yu.
She couldn't beat her, and she didn't want her child to be stolen again, so she could only flee far away.
But she swore that she would never let Jiang Yu off the hook.
She and Jiang Yu would be enemies until death.
"Damn Jiang Yu, just you wait, I will definitely return."
Zhi Meng's aura was terrifying, like a Heavenly Maiden, her immortal dress fluttering, her ice-blue hair flying.
Holding the infant in her arms, she gave a sense of a goddess falling into the mortal world.
After uttering a harsh threat, she vanished without a trace.
Her retreating figure was quite flustered and disheveled.
Everyone looked at each other, speechless.
You Kui came to the foot of Purple Lotus Peak, looking at the exquisitely beautiful and ethereal Jiang Yu, wanting to speak but hesitating.
His eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, and his face was extremely conflicted.
You Kui truly couldn't understand.
Jiang Yu's temperament was detached and refined, her beautiful eyes gentle as water, like a Nine Heavens Goddess who loved the world.
And it was true; Jiang Yu was unassuming, calm as a chrysanthemum, very low-key, without the ferocity of a cultivator.
However, he had never expected that Jiang Yu would actually like stealing babies.
And she was a repeat offender who refused to change her ways despite repeated persuasion.
You Kui suddenly understood why the Peerless Twins were mortal enemies.
The Profound God Elders of the Star Dao Sect watched silently.
Seeing Zhi Meng flee without looking back, their hearts were greatly disappointed.
But to be fair, they also expressed their incomprehension regarding Jiang Yu's baby-stealing behavior.
If it were someone else, they naturally wouldn't be surprised, but the object was the unassuming Jiang Yu; doing such a thing truly ruined her image.
If she truly wanted an infant, with Jiang Yu's cultivation and status, how many could she not have?
Why must she steal and snatch?
"You can't escape."
Jiang Yu returned to Purple Lotus Peak, unable to suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth.
She just loved seeing Zhi Meng hate her to the bone yet be unable to do anything to her.
When Zhi Meng settled down, she would go steal again.
Xian'er was so cute and fun, adorably silly; she couldn't bear to let Xian'er suffer with Zhi Meng.
"Master..."
Seeing the smile at the corner of Jiang Yu's mouth, Chu Yao's expression showed a slight crack.
Her gentle-as-water, calm-as-a-chrysanthemum, unassuming Master's tall and mighty image had begun to crumble slightly.
"Master, why don't I find you a baby? Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
Chu Yao felt that Jiang Yu must be too lonely; seeing her mortal enemy become a mother, she also wanted to be a mother, and maternal love drove Jiang Yu mad.
As long as she found Jiang Yu a baby, perhaps Jiang Yu would no longer steal children.
"No, I only want this bad seed's child. Besides, Xian'er is Xian'er; she is unique and irreplaceable."
Jiang Yu flatly refused, then paused and added, "Don't act on your own initiative."
Chu Yao's nascent thought instantly extinguished.
Forget it, she wouldn't bother anymore.
Anyway, the two had been fighting for so many years; continuing to fight would probably not cause any trouble.
"Is there anything else?"
Seeing Chu Yao still standing there, Jiang Yu asked leisurely.
Chu Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, I don't want to hold a Dao Companion ceremony with Gu Qing anymore, and I don't want people to know about my relationship with him."
"You don't like him anymore?" Jiang Yu looked surprised.
She knew how much Chu Yao liked Gu Qing.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have mediated for them.
"No, no!"
Chu Yao shook her head repeatedly, "I like my Junior Brother very much, it's just that he has too many Dao Companions, and I haven't decided whether to marry yet."
"No! Since you like him and are with him, you must make it public."
"But..."
"No buts. He only has two Dao Companions, where is that many? And you are all sisters; you'll get along more harmoniously. Making the relationship public is good for all of you."
"I think..."
"Don't say anything more, the matter is decided. You go back. You need to put more effort into the Starry Sky Commerce Association, and also into restraining the disciples who have joined my Purple Lotus Peak."
"..."
