266: Chapter 266 The Jade-Transforming Child Granny's Scheme, Snow Princess's Peril

"Help?"

Long Zhi was truly quite surprised.

With so many Longevity Beings behind Qin Tian, what could he possibly need her help with?

But even so, Long Zhi still nodded.

"Elder, please reveal yourself."

As her voice fell, waves surged. Before Qin Tian, it felt as if the ocean waves were invading the sky and the vast sea was rippling, shaking one's soul.

After a moment of daze, a blue figure had gracefully taken a seat.

"Greetings, Senior."

Qin Tian raised his gaze. Like Long Zhi, this woman had dragon horns on her forehead, but unlike Long Zhi's, her horns were more translucent, sparkling like gemstones.

[Name: Long Suo

Realm: Longevity Immortal Realm

dao seed: Ancient Dragon Soul

Dao Fruit: Nine Transformations of the True Dragon

Special: Female Protagonist Halo]

"Mm."

There wasn't much emotion in Long Suo's eyes as she gave a faint response.

Long Zhi smiled. "The Elder has a reserved and quiet temperament. Fellow Daoist Qin, if you need help with anything, just say it."

Qin Tian withdrew his gaze and spoke slowly:

"Actually, I came here to find a Longevity Being. I originally intended to gather some information, but I unexpectedly met Fairy Long and Senior..."

"I imagine the Dragon Palace's information must be much better than that of Lin Hai Market..."

Long Zhi pursed her lips. "Fellow Daoist Qin, the Dragon Palace is far away in the Holy Spirit Immortal Realm. If it's information regarding a Longevity Being of the North Miao Immortal Domain, I'm afraid we might not know as much as the Jade Lake..."

Qin Tian gave a faint smile. "That might be true elsewhere, but near Luo Hai City, no one should be better informed than the Dragon Palace..."

Long Zhi paused for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, why do you say that?"

"Like you, this is my first time here..."

Qin Tian shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Long might be here for the first time, but the Dragon Palace is not..."

As he spoke, he gave Long Suo a faint glance. "Senior should have everything that happens in Luo Hai City at her fingertips, right?"

Long Suo looked at Qin Tian quietly. "Why?"

"Naturally, because of the rumors of the Falling Sea Surging Waves..."

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"The fallen Luo Hai Immortal King from the legends was of the Dragon Clan, wasn't he...?"

The next moment.

Absolute silence.

Long Suo's pupils contracted slightly, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Long Zhi was not as composed; her eyes widened, and she stared at Qin Tian with a face full of disbelief, nearly blurting out, 'How did you know?'...

"It seems I guessed correctly." Qin Tian smiled.

Long Suo's lips parted slightly. "How did you know?"

"I guessed." Qin Tian smiled.

Long Suo gave Qin Tian a deep look and stopped asking.

Guessed?

How could that be possible!

Long Suo naturally didn't believe him.

But.

The Dragon Palace had secretly operated in Luo Hai City for vast ages without a single mistake. Even the Jade Lake and Tatian Holy Land were unaware; how did Qin Tian know?

Furthermore, the secret that the Luo Hai Immortal King was an ancestor of the Dragon Clan was known only to a few even within the Dragon Palace. Even Long Zhi had only recently found out...

The Dragon Palace indeed had a thorough grasp of every movement in and around Luo Hai City.

And the reason the Dragon Palace had expended such a cost was not just for the Luo Hai Immortal King's Legacy, but for something even more important.

Long Suo wasn't sure if Qin Tian knew of that item's existence, but she understood that such a person could only be befriended and must never be offended.

The power behind Qin Tian was likely something even Immortal King-level forces could hardly reach...

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Long Suo finally spoke, "What do you want to know?"

Qin Tian smiled and stopped mentioning the matter of the Luo Hai Immortal King.

He actually had no interest in an Immortal King's Legacy.

"Senior, not long ago, an Immortal Ancient Longevity Being named Snow Princess came here. I want to know her whereabouts."

"Also, in the Huayu Forest outside Luo Hai City, there is a Child Matriarch Jade Transformation. I want all the information on her."

Long Suo did not hesitate and nodded slightly. "Very well."

Her jade-like hand lightly tapped the tabletop.

In just a few breaths, a Jade Slip condensed.

"The information you want is all inside."

Qin Tian was slightly surprised.

He didn't see clearly how Long Suo did it; he only knew she had retrieved this information from somewhere.

"Thank you."

"I wonder what Senior and Fellow Daoist Long would like in return?"

Long Suo slowly shook her head. "No need."

Qin Tian also shook his head. "Senior, what is free is often the most expensive..."

"I never liked getting something for nothing..."

Long Suo paused, her lips pursing slightly.

"You are an interesting person."

"In that case, take Long Zhi with you as the payment..."

With those words, Long Suo vanished.

Long Zhi: ???

Qin Tian was also stunned.

Take Long Zhi with him...? What kind of payment was that?

"Oh no, was I just sold?" Long Zhi murmured.

[great-aunt, why did you just leave?]

[Follow Qin Tian and see what he does; it will be beneficial for you... Besides, he possesses a great Opportunity, and perhaps he can find certain things through it...]

Long Zhi opened her mouth and looked at Qin Tian.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I think I've really been sold..."

Qin Tian couldn't help but smile.

This payment was truly beyond his expectations.

However, with someone from the Dragon Palace following him, things would be much easier to handle...

His Divine Thought swept through the Jade Slip, and his expression gradually darkened.

Child Matriarch Jade Transformation was a thousand-year-old fox who always kept a backup plan.

Back when she obtained Qin Tian's essence blood, she guessed that someone would follow her.

Consequently, she lured Snow Princess into a pre-arranged trap and even joined forces with two other Longevity Beings to trap her within...

She really has some nerve!

"Fairy Long Zhi, it's time for us to go."

Qin Tian slowly raised his eyes.

Long Zhi's heart shivered.

She felt a thick killing intent from Qin Tian's words.

...

Returning to their lodging.

Ling Su and Qi Fang were already waiting there.

The two were somewhat surprised to see Long Zhi.

"Hmph, Qin Tian, how did you manage to abduct the Dragon Girl as well?"

Ling Su gave a light huff, her tone ambiguous.

Qin Tian smiled. "Fairy Long is here at my request to help."

"Oh..."

"I've already found the place..."

Long Zhi looked at Ling Su, feeling puzzled.

Why was such an ordinary woman able to stay by Qin Tian's side?

Yun Xi, You Ruoli, and any of the others were far more outstanding than her...

...

Thousands of miles north of Luo Hai City, above a sparsely populated sea area.

An old man with coral growing from his head sat cross-legged in the air. Longevity Qi constantly poured from his body into the sea, as if suppressing something.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the sea, ten thousand feet of cold Qi swirled and exploded repeatedly, as if trying to burst out from the seabed.

Cold sweat appeared on the Coral Elder's face.

"This woman is truly fierce!"

"Damn that Jade Transformation, she said it was just someone who had just entered the Longevity Realm, but I didn't expect her to be this terrifying..."

"If the three of us hadn't joined forces, we wouldn't have been able to suppress her at all!"

"Had I known, I wouldn't have come no matter how high the price!"

"When that old fossil arrives, I must squeeze her for another huge sum... cough cough...!"

As he spoke, the Coral Elder's face flushed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood; he was clearly quite seriously injured...
