The Amorous Healer [Complete] - 15

Chapter 178 The Rare Herb (Part 1)

Now, having nothing better to do and having received the Dragon King's personal jade token, Ge Xiaoyao naturally spent his time exploring the Dragon Palace before leaving to travel upstream along the Wei River in search of rare medicinal herbs.

It is known that medicine originates from the heavens, encompassing the yin and yang interactions of all things. As the saying goes, humans eat grains and miscellaneous foods, and none are immune to illness. These illnesses are diverse and varied.

Ge Xiaoyao's ancestral secret manual, "The Secret Records of the Bedchamber," though described as nourishing yin and yang, actually contains 135 categories and 898 cases, which Ge Xiaoyao studied thoroughly. Moreover, he was a professionally trained surgeon, proficient in various surgical and internal medicine procedures, combining Chinese and Western medicine. If it weren't for his arrogant and unruly nature, disliking the life of a typical professional expert, he would likely be a renowned physician in modern times.

Medicine is inseparable from herbs, and Ge Xiaoyao has a unique expertise in this field. In truth, nothing in the world is unsuitable for medicinal use. However, the quality and variations of herbs must be carefully observed.

Enough of the preamble, Ge Xiaoyao followed the Wei River upstream. Sometimes the current was swift, sometimes gentle. This river was not like the sea; although wide and deep,

it seemed limited. Based on Ge Xiaoyao's observations, the Wei River at its peak had a considerable volume of water, and its depth was over two hundred meters. Two hundred meters is roughly equivalent to a seventy-story building—a considerable size.

The riverbed remained unchanged for millennia. Although the current was rapid and most of the water was devoid of aquatic plants, some unusual medicinal herbs still grew there, such as fragrant herbs, golden scaleless fish, and decaying mudstone.

Ge Xiaoyao's journey had been quite fruitful. He found two whole, fully-flowered Bi Xiang grasses in a deep, gloomy spot, and two pieces of muddy, decaying stone in a whirlpool. Excited, he secretly marveled at the treasures hidden in this ancient river.

In truth, both herbs were now lost to time. Ge Xiaoyao knew of them only through his family's secret manual. Both were excellent for nourishing Yin and Yang, even more potent than the ancient ginseng. However, their effects were primarily focused on regulating Yin and Yang, and improper handling could produce toxicity. But

Ge Xiaoyao, possessing the manual, was unfazed. He placed the two herbs in a brocade pouch and stored it away. This pouch was originally given to him by Jiang Ziya to ensure the survival of Yin San, but Ge Xiaoyao had refined it using magical techniques. It could change size, was impervious to water and fire, and its contents were divided into compartments by his immortal power, ensuring nothing would be lost. Moreover, it could be infused with immortal power and summoned back when needed, without fear of loss—extremely convenient. Ge Xiaoyao named it "Void Bag."

Unbeknownst to him, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. He quickly stopped, and an immortal power shield instantly lit up, expanding several times to securely protect him within.

Ge Xiaoyao wasn't like a fish or shrimp in the water, but with the immortal power shield protecting him, it was no different from being on land. Underwater was inherently dark, but due to his cultivation of supreme profound arts and the acquisition of tens of thousands of years of dragon immortal true power, Ge Xiaoyao's physique had undergone a tremendous transformation, his eyesight increasing by more than a hundredfold. Therefore, he could see normally at the bottom of this river.

"Damn! Where am I? Could this be the Nine Nether River?" Ge Xiaoyao used the crystalline light of the immortal power shield to look around. The light illuminated ten steps ahead, but it was still water, nothing different. Some small fish and shrimp, seeing the dim light, gathered around, only to be repelled by the immortal energy shield. Not wanting to harm anyone, Ge Xiaoyao removed the counter-attack technique from the shield, leaving the fish and shrimp unharmed. However, this only fueled their playfulness; they gathered and bounced back and forth, endlessly repeating the cycle. Some even called for friends to join them, their numbers growing until they soon completely surrounded Ge Xiaoyao, like a ball of fish.

Ge Xiaoyao initially paid no attention, letting the fish and shrimp frolic, but later he sensed trouble, as their vision was completely blocked.

"Go away! Go play somewhere else!" Ge Xiaoyao had no choice but to activate his counter-attack technique, his dragon immortal energy suddenly spreading, scattering the fish and shrimp. Of course, some were unlucky, instantly dissolved by the immortal energy, turning into fish and shrimp powder that floated away with the water.

Ge Xiaoyao was suddenly plunged into darkness, his vision limited to no more than ten steps ahead. He searched his body thoroughly but found nothing amiss, and was momentarily at a loss. He jokingly remarked that he had reached the Nine Nether River, but inwardly he thought, "This place is so dark and gloomy, could it be that some demon is cultivating here? Perhaps they've set up a maze?"

At the bottom of the water, Ge Xiaoyao couldn't detect any demonic energy, and besides, his Dragon Immortal Power was somewhat weakened; some demons wouldn't be detected unless they were very close. That's why he had this thought.

"Whatever! Let's go check it out!" His untamed nature compelled him to take the risk.

The bottom of the water was indeed exceptionally dark, becoming increasingly so further in, to the point of being pitch black. Ge Xiaoyao activated his Dragon Immortal Power to continuously expand the range of his immortal power shield, allowing the light to shine further, while also strengthening the shield's counter-force, so that he could react immediately if he encountered any demons. Fortunately, his Dragon Immortal Power was now abundant enough that he wasn't afraid of this depletion. However, this caused great suffering to the curious fish and shrimp. Before they could even get close to the immortal energy shield, they were pulverized and vanished without a trace.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it. Who told you to be so curious?" Ge Xiaoyao sighed to himself. That's how the world is; the more curious you are, the easier it is to be deceived and put yourself in danger. Thinking of this, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly thought, "Damn it! Aren't I just as curious as those fish and shrimp!"

Step by step, after walking about two hundred steps, Ge Xiaoyao saw that the surroundings were full of rocks and not a blade of grass. Moreover, he didn't know if his immortal energy shield had scared away the fish, or if there were simply few fish here to begin with. In any case, the deeper he went, the fewer fish and shrimp there were, until finally, he couldn't see a single one.

Ge Xiaoyao was usually bold, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and a chill rose from within him. The saying goes, "Ignorance is bliss," but it's also true that "people are afraid because of ignorance." Both statements have merit, just in a different order. People are fearless and reckless because they are ignorant or unaware of hidden dangers, only feeling fear when they encounter unknown objects or are unsure of their location.

"Damn! What's there to be afraid of? I'm a demon hunter now, I can catch ghosts, subdue demons, and exorcise monsters! Who can do anything to me?" To bolster his courage, Ge Xiaoyao continued to explore deeper.

After walking about a hundred steps, the scenery changed again. The previous jumbled rocks were gone, and the ground was perfectly flat. There were no flowers or grass, not even a small pebble. Because the Wei River was extremely deep, the bottom was no longer muddy, but entirely rocky. Reaching this point, Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, "Could this be the deepest part of the Wei River?"

Just as Ge Xiaoyao was pondering this, he felt his immortal energy shield suddenly tremble. Startled, he realized he had encountered some kind of demonic force. The protective shield of immortal energy was shaken, naturally retaliating with a bright light, but the attack had no effect, only causing the surrounding water to swirl slightly.

Ge Xiaoyao knew that the larger the shield of immortal energy spread out, the thinner the immortal energy became, making it easier for enemies to shatter. Therefore, to be on the safe side, he had to shrink the shield to a distance of two steps, and even the light of the shield dimmed.

The surroundings instantly became pitch black again, but in this darkness, Ge Xiaoyao vaguely saw a red light leaping in the distance, like a will-o'-the-wisp.

"What is that?" Ge Xiaoyao wondered if he was seeing things, closed his eyes and opened them again, but the red light still did not disappear, and continued to leap.

"Hmph! Such a strange thing, it must be something bad! I'll get rid of it soon!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, quickening his pace and rushing towards it.

But although the red light did not seem far away, no matter how fast he walked, the red light remained unchanged, as if he could never catch up with it.

"Damn! This is really weird!" Ge Xiaoyao had been worried about the demon's interference and had been proceeding normally, but this time he was enraged and decided to use his true power to fly underwater. At his speed, even traveling the entire Wei River would only take two or three hours. These few steps would be covered in an instant.

"Damn!" Ge Xiaoyao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He was moving incredibly fast; the red light was right in front of him, almost within reach. However, when he saw what was before him, he couldn't help but gasp, cursing inwardly, and instantly retreated ten feet.

In the darkness, Ge Xiaoyao couldn't see what was on the bottom of the water. Only when he got closer did he realize that behind the red light was a large, mountain-like rock.

He retreated several feet, secretly relieved. If he hadn't noticed it beforehand, his underwater rush would have caused him to crash into the rock. While he might not have been seriously injured, with his strength, he would have shattered the immortal energy shield and become a soaking wet mess.

Ge Xiaoyao calmed himself and looked at the red light again, much to his surprise. It was a strange little plant, about a foot tall, with two long, pointed red leaves in the middle and three round leaves at the top. Its entire body was like red jade, and the red light it emitted in the dark water, swaying with the current, resembled a strange, leaping flame.

Ge Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Damn! What a scare! I thought it was some kind of demon or monster, but it's just a little grass!" Relieved, he examined the grass more closely. At first glance, he hadn't noticed anything, but upon closer inspection, the red light emanating from it seemed to possess a bewitching power. His mind went blank, and his hands were about to reach out and touch it.

Fortunately, Ge Xiaoyao was quick-witted and instantly snapped out of his daze, averting his gaze from the red grass and retracting his outstretched hands. He cursed inwardly, "Damn! What is this thing?!"

He knew that among ordinary herbs, there was also the "soul-capturing grass," whose sap had a captivating fragrance. If someone, unaware of its power, got close and unknowingly smelled the fragrance, they would be bewitched, their body stiff and numb. If no one intervened, they would remain attached to the grass until they died and rotted, becoming fertilizer for the grass's growth. Hence the name "soul-capturing grass." Some powerful herb gatherers, unaware of this, had also been harmed by this grass.

Ge Xiaoyao had never seen such a soul-capturing herb before, growing at the bottom of a river, odorless, and glowing red. If he hadn't been alert and snapped out of his daze just now, he would have been bewitched the moment his hands touched it.

He was both relieved and quite puzzled. He dared not look at the herb again, but instead looked around to see if there was anything else strange.

After looking around, he found nothing unusual except for the absence of stones, herbs, and fish. Suddenly, he remembered that he had two golden scaleless fish in his spatial pouch and thought to himself, "There aren't a single fish or shrimp around here. Could it be because of this glowing red herb? I'll have to test it to find out!"

Ge Xiaoyao immediately summoned his spatial pouch, took out a golden scaleless fish, and released it towards the glowing red herb. His spatial pouch was a treasured magical artifact he had refined; a live fish placed inside could survive for a year or two.

The golden, scaleless fish returned to the river, seemingly oblivious to the changes in the bag, and swam forward in a daze, only to stumble into the red light of the strange herb.

Chapter 179 The Strange Herb of the Dragon Head (Part 2)

The red light of the strange herb suddenly surged, instantly enveloping the golden, scaleless fish. In the blink of an eye, the light vanished, and the golden, scaleless fish disappeared into thin air! The red light of the strange herb seemed to have grown even larger.

Ge Xiaoyao couldn't help but gasp, "What a strange herb!" He now knew that this strange herb attracted nearby fish with its red light; no wonder there wasn't a single fish here!

Ge Xiaoyao went around to the side, intending to use his Dragon Immortal Power to remove the evil herb, but his immortal power shield reacted instantly when it encountered the stone seat.

"No, this immortal energy shield doesn't react to rocks! What, could this not be a rock?" Curious, Ge Xiaoyao approached the enormous creature, only to discover it wasn't a rock at all, but rather the thick shell of some unknown thing, covered in a layer of green rust accumulated over time.

"Strange, strange things happen every year, but this year is particularly strange!" Eager to see what it was, Ge Xiaoyao didn't hesitate; he floated in the water, his immortal energy shield breaking through the surface, until he could clearly see the entire massive, mountain-like object.

Seeing it clearly wasn't a problem; what he saw shocked him. It was a gigantic dragon turtle!

However, the dragon turtle seemed dead, lying motionless in the water. Its massive body, tens of meters tall and the size of a football field, truly resembled a stone mountain in the water. Fortunately, the Wei River was extremely deep, and it didn't surface. Only

then did Ge Xiaoyao notice the red, glowing herb growing on the dragon turtle's head. "Dragon Turtle, Red Light Herb..." In a flash of light, a thought suddenly crossed Ge Xiaoyao's mind, and he was overjoyed. "Damn! This time I've really encountered a treasure!"

Ge Xiaoyao had already figured out the origin of this red light herb. It was originally called Ao Tou Cao (Ao Head Grass), which grew on the head of a ten-thousand-year-old dragon turtle after its death. Because it grew between its eyebrows, resembling the eyebrows of a dragon turtle, it was also called Ao Mei Cao (Ao Eyebrow Grass).

This strange herb was a legendary holy herb for strengthening yang and nourishing yin. This was mainly because turtles were extremely yang, and the ten-thousand-year-old dragon turtle was the yang within yang. After its death, it transformed from yang to yin. Moreover, these ten-thousand-year-old dragon turtles were usually already spirits. Knowing that their days were numbered, they would seek an extremely secluded and dark place to die. Therefore, the herb growing on its head absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon, accumulated by the dragon turtle over ten thousand years of cultivation, becoming a top-grade holy medicine for strengthening yang and nourishing yin.

However, these were all legends. No one had ever actually seen one. Ge Xiaoyao knew the origin of this herb because of the records in the secret books passed down from his ancestors. However, he believed that even the ancestors of the author of the book might never have seen such a rare herb, otherwise the book wouldn't have noted down the legend of Nomura.

After all, dragon turtles were already rare, and ten-thousand-year-old dragon turtles were legendary divine creatures, producing only one of these rare herbs every few thousand years after their death, making them even more unattainable.

Ge Xiaoyao was greatly excited, inwardly marveling at the good deeds of his ancestors. Not only had the origin of this Ao Mei grass been detailed, but the method of harvesting it had also been described. Because the herb absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and grew without roots, it had to be harvested along with the skin and flesh of the dragon turtle's forehead, and it couldn't be exposed to sunlight.

"Damn! How will I know if I don't try!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, unsure if the method was true or not.

At this moment, he carefully examined the Ao Mei grass again, and indeed it was rootless, like a grass stick stuck on the turtle's forehead. The dragon turtle had been dead for countless years; its skin and flesh had become as hard as stone from being soaked in the water. However, Ge Xiaoyao wasn't too concerned. With his Dragon Immortal Power, he could easily dismember the entire dragon turtle, let alone tear off a piece of its flesh. Besides, he had a way to prevent it from seeing the light of day. After picking the Ao Mei Grass, he placed it directly into his Void Bag. This Void Bag was impervious to water and fire and provided complete protection from the light of day, making it the perfect medicine pouch.

"A rare treasure, a spiritual medicine that is hard to find even in a thousand years, is here. Why wait any longer to pick it?" Ge Xiaoyao was excited. He gritted his teeth and concentrated his Dragon Immortal Power into a single point, which, like a sharp blade, bypassed the Ao Mei Grass and went straight for the dragon turtle's head. He didn't use the Dragon Slayer Blade because this dragon turtle was no ordinary creature; its armor was extremely thick, and even celestial weapons would find it difficult to harm it.

Meanwhile, as Ge Xiaoyao concentrated intently on using his Dragon Immortal Power to harvest the Ao Mei Grass, even his Immortal Power shield shrunk to its smallest size, focusing its light in front of him to clearly see his movements. He remained completely unaware of the slight disturbance in the dark waters behind him.

"Whoosh!..." A sound of water breaking rang out, and a beam of white light shot out from behind Ge Xiaoyao, striking his Dragon Immortal Power as he was about to cut the dragon turtle's flesh. Ge Xiaoyao felt a tremor in his Dragon Immortal Power, realizing the danger, he instantly withdrew it. His Immortal Power shield rapidly expanded, and before he could turn around, he felt a sharp blow to his back. Although

protected by his Immortal Power shield, Ge Xiaoyao was unharmed, but the Immortal Power in his chest suddenly stalled, and his body involuntarily lurched forward two steps before regaining his footing.

"Damn it! What kind of demon dares to ambush me from behind? How insidious and despicable!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed, his figure flashing as he turned. Within the glowing light emanating from his immortal energy shield, a strange-looking, white-robed man appeared before him.

The white-robed man was clearly no good. Hearing Ge Xiaoyao's curses, he let out a series of eerie laughs, his shrill, sinister voice sending chills down one's spine. "What kind of thief dares to intrude into the territory of the Jing River Snow Tiger and steal my precious herbs!"

"What? This is clearly the Wei River, how did it become the Jing River?" Ge Xiaoyao wondered, knowing that this monster must have been eyeing this sacred medicine for a long time, treating the Ao Tou Grass as its own. He sneered, "This grass is born of heaven and earth, it is ownerless, whoever comes first takes it, what's the difference between the Jing and Wei Rivers! I took the medicine first, and you attacked me from behind, this is a despicable trick of a demon! If I didn't have some skill, I would have died at your hands just now!" As he spoke, a thought suddenly struck him, he thought to himself that the saying goes that the Jing and Wei Rivers are clearly distinct, could this actually be the boundary between the Jing and Wei Rivers? Or had he unwittingly wandered into the Jing River?

The white-robed man was just surprised that his heavy blow from behind hadn't killed this kid, it seems that this kid does indeed have some real skills. He thought to himself that if a real fight broke out, it would be difficult to determine a winner. His eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "What a sharp tongue! To tell you the truth, I've protected this herb for a thousand years, waiting for it to mature before harvesting. If I hadn't happened to be patrolling, you almost would have gotten the better of it! This Jing River is my Snow Tiger's territory. I'll see what you're capable of. I don't want to hurt you, so you'd better leave quickly!"

Ge Xiaoyao was right. This extremely dark body of water was the underground confluence of the Jing and Wei Rivers. Because it was completely devoid of sunlight, it was incredibly dark. The white-robed giant was actually a demon in the Jing River, an incarnation of a snow carp spirit that had cultivated for ten thousand years. He called himself the Snow Tiger King, and he ruled the Jing River and the Wei River, dividing the territory between them.

For hundreds of years, the Wei River Dragon King had tried to eliminate this demon, but after several battles, neither side could gain the upper hand, and the Wei River Dragon King had no choice but to let him go. However, the Snow Tiger King was shrewd enough to only occupy the Jing River, keeping to himself and the Wei River, and never causing trouble there.

This time, it was Ge Xiaoyao who came here in search of medicine, and the two clashed.

Seeing the demon's seemingly weak words, Ge Xiaoyao thought it best to first intimidate him with the name of the Wei River Dragon King before making any further plans. He immediately took out the Wei River Dragon King's personal command jade token and said, "This is the Wei River Dragon King's personal command jade token. Seeing this token is like seeing the king himself. You little demon, step back!"

Upon seeing the jade token, the snow carp spirit was taken aback, not expecting this kid to have a connection with the Wei River. Although he wasn't afraid of the Wei River Dragon King, he didn't want to compete with him, but in this situation, how could he simply hand it over to Ge Xiaoyao? The snow carp spirit let out a strange laugh and roared, "A mere Wei River Dragon King, a defeated foe of mine, the Snow Tiger King, dares to scare me! Even if the Wei River Dragon King himself came, what could he do to me?!"

"Hmph... Dragon King, you're not afraid, but what if a celestial being came?!" Ge Xiaoyao sneered, secretly wondering just how powerful this pale-faced ugly man truly was.

The snow carp spirit laughed again, "Don't try to scare me! What celestial being! Even if a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers entered my Jing River, I would make them flee in disarray!"

"Hmm, what spirit... what power..." Ge Xiaoyao chuckled, slowly extending his thumb, then suddenly cursed, "Shameless!" A surge of dragon immortal power gathered in his chest, unleashing a thunderous roar as he struck the snow carp spirit! Simultaneously, the Dragon-Slaying Blade flashed from behind, silent and stealthy, using the darkness as cover to swiftly slash at the snow carp spirit.

Ge Xiaoyao, having been ambushed and nearly injured, was filled with resentment. Seeing this arrogant fellow's ignorance, he knew he was no good and his killing intent was aroused; he wouldn't hesitate to use any means necessary. His motto was: "If you're good, I'll be better; if you're bad, I'll be worse!"

The snow carp spirit, somewhat smug at Ge Xiaoyao's praise, was saying, "You flatter me, you flatter me!" when suddenly hearing Ge Xiaoyao's sharp voice, realizing she'd been mocked, and seeing Ge Xiaoyao's attack, she roared, her body flashing with white light, stirring the water in front of her, instantly condensing it into a tall, dense water sphere shimmering with white light, meeting Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Immortal Power Ball head-on. Having cultivated for ten thousand years, her cultivation was nearing the realm of immortality from demon; this water-condensing technique, seemingly ordinary, was actually incredibly powerful, especially in water, where its power increased by thirty percent.

However, Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Immortal Power was pure, ancient Dragon Immortal True Power. Although Ge Xiaoyao's supreme profound skill had only reached its peak, he could only use one-tenth of it, equivalent to having ten thousand years of cultivation. This Dragon Immortal Power ball only used three-tenths of his strength, yet it still managed to tie the snow carp water ball. The two collided head-on, and after a loud bang, everything returned to calm.

However, the snow carp spirit never expected that the fatal blow was not just this ball of immortal power, but the silent and lightless Dragon-Slaying Blade. Of course, by the time it noticed, it was too late. The Dragon-Slaying Blade shone brightly and was instantly before its eyes. It could even see the ancient dragon-shaped patterns on the blade and feel its sinister, bone-chilling aura.

"Despicable!" the Snow Carp Spirit cursed. Having cultivated for ten thousand years to become a spirit, his fighting experience far surpassed Ge Xiaoyao's. Remaining calm in the face of danger, he let out a strange cry, his body instantly transforming into a silver fish over three feet long. The Dragon-Slaying Blade, which was about to pierce the Snow Carp Spirit's chest, grazed past the silver fish, barely slicing off a small part of its tail.

Ge Xiaoyao hadn't expected the Snow Carp Spirit to reveal its true form in such a critical moment. Although he inwardly sighed at the Dragon-Slaying Blade's ineffective strike, he knew the Snow Carp Spirit's abilities were limited. He immediately focused his mind, directing the Dragon-Slaying Blade to reverse mid-strike and launch a new attack.

However, when he saw the Snow Carp Spirit now in human form, he was greatly surprised and hastily chanted an incantation to stop the Dragon-Slaying Blade's momentum. The

Dragon-Slaying Blade stopped just in time, but its target wasn't the Snow Carp Spirit, but a pretty little girl of no more than thirteen or fourteen years old!

"Qi Qi!" Ge Xiaoyao suddenly called out.

Qi Qi was terrified, her face pale, struggling desperately in the snow carp spirit's arms, crying out, "Brother Xiaoyao, help!"

Chapter 180 The Strange Grass of the Dragon Head (Part 2)

Seeing that the snow carp spirit had actually taken Qi Qi hostage, Ge Xiaoyao's face immediately darkened, and he growled in a low voice, "You're courting death!"

Although Ge Xiaoyao hadn't spent much time with Qi Qi, he felt quite fond of this little girl. Moreover, he claimed to be the God of Bliss, and he was just freeloading in the Wei River Dragon Palace, and he was single-mindedly trying to trick the old Dragon King's eldest princess into his hands. How could he stand by and watch her die?

As the saying goes, "Those who are close to you suffer, while those who are enemies rejoice." Seeing Ge Xiaoyao's tense mood, the snow carp spirit relaxed. How powerful was Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon-Slaying Blade? Although it didn't hit him squarely, it still injured him quite badly. Knowing that Ge Xiaoyao was extremely skilled and no match for him in a direct fight, he knew that escaping unscathed wouldn't be easy either. He happened to bump into Qi Qi, the little princess of the Wei River Dragon King. Seeing the Dragon King's personal token on Ge Xiaoyao, he knew their relationship was close and immediately took her hostage. "Hahaha... How could I, the Snow Tiger King, seek death? Boy, if you don't want this delicate little princess of the Dragon King to perish, put down that broken sword and let me leave!"

Qi Qi was unlucky. She had seen Ge Xiaoyao go out to gather herbs and, on a whim, had silently followed him, sometimes transforming into a fish, sometimes into a shrimp. Ge Xiaoyao, focused on gathering herbs, hadn't noticed her. However, once they entered the Black Abyss, Ge Xiaoyao saw the giant carp running wildly, and she couldn't keep up, falling behind. Fortunately, the light emanating from Ge Xiaoyao's immortal energy shield was still faintly visible, so she slowly followed. Unexpectedly, she was subdued by the snow carp as soon as she saw Ge Xiaoyao.

Ge Xiaoyao's face was cold, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He remained motionless. He had just shown the snow carp spirit the token of the Wei River Dragon King, and now he couldn't back out and pretend he didn't know Princess Qiqi! Unable to deceive her, he finally said after a long while, "Fine! I'll let you off this time!" Saying that, he threw the Dragon-Slaying Blade on the ground.

The snow carp spirit cackled, "Boy! This girl is so pretty and delicate, she's quite to my liking. I'll take her away first! I'll have the old Wei River Dragon King come and ransom her!" He had a good plan in mind. He didn't take Ge Xiaoyao seriously, but he could take this opportunity to use little Qiqi as a hostage and extort a lot of money from the Dragon King.

"Damn it! That's utterly despicable!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, but his face remained impassive. After a moment's thought, he slowly said, "Fine, as long as you don't harm her, it's all negotiable!"

Seeing Ge Xiaoyao yield, the snow carp spirit cackled wickedly. "Thank you then!" Just as she was about to leave with Qi Qi in her arms, she felt a sudden surge of water behind her. Looking down at the empty riverbed, the knife was nowhere to be seen. She immediately understood what had happened! "You brat, you dared to cheat!"

No sooner said than done, Ge Xiaoyao sneered, and the Dragon-Slaying Blade, following his will, had already silently circled behind the Snow Carp Spirit, delivering a fierce strike.

Knowing it was impossible to dodge now, the Snow Carp Spirit resorted to its old trick, instantly transforming into its original form, but was forced to release Qi Qi.

In a flash, the Dragon-Slaying Blade pierced through between him and Qi Qi. Although the blade didn't graz the Snow Carp Spirit, the dragon immortal power on the blade struck it. The Snow Carp Spirit's original form couldn't protect itself with demonic power, relying solely on its powerful physical body to withstand the blow. It immediately felt a jolt in its internal organs, and upon transforming back into human form, it coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Hmph, brat! You dare to cheat… then let that old Dragon King apologize to me, otherwise you can wait to collect this girl's corpse!" the Snow Carp Spirit roared, its body swaying violently as it vanished into the dark water.

Ge Xiaoyao stepped forward, holding Qi Qi in his arms. He was about to chase after the fleeing snow carp spirit when Qi Qi weakly grabbed him, mumbling, "Brother Xiaoyao, it hurts!" Then she collapsed onto Ge Xiaoyao and fainted.

"Damn it! This is bad… Qi Qi…" Ge Xiaoyao's heart sank. He suddenly remembered the snow carp spirit's last words; that damned spirit must have done something terrible to Qi Qi.

"King Snow Tiger, I, Ge Xiaoyao, will not let you get away with this!" Ge Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, deciding not to chase the snow carp spirit, and instead put Qi Qi down to check her injuries.

Princess Qi Qi was now completely unconscious, at Ge Xiaoyao's mercy. However, hearing the snow carp spirit's words about the old king coming to apologize to him, Ge Xiaoyao felt slightly relieved, though he didn't know what kind of poison had been used on her.

He laid Qi Qi flat on the ground. Qi Qi was still breathing, but her small face was ashen, her jaw clenched, her eyes closed, and her breathing was heavy.

"It seems she's been poisoned!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. As a physician, Ge Xiaoyao wouldn't have cared about ordinary poisons. But he feared Qi Qi had been poisoned by the Snow Carp's strange toxin, and it would be difficult to treat her immediately.

"Let's examine her first!" Ge Xiaoyao lifted Qi Qi's wrist and saw a small, dark, circular wound. He understood immediately; it was when the Snow Carp spirit transformed into its original form that it had injured Qi Qi.

"Damn Snow Tiger King! I, Ge Xiaoyao, swear I will not rest until I avenge this!" Ge Xiaoyao gritted his teeth inwardly. "However, if only I had one more of my Great Rejuvenation Pill!"

"This antidote, though not as potent as the Great Rejuvenation Pill, is better than nothing; at least it will keep her safe for now!" Ge Xiaoyao took out a red pill from his pouch, pried open Qi Qi's tightly closed lips, and fed it to her.

Now that he knew where the injury was, Ge Xiaoyao had a plan. He pressed his five fingers against Qi Qi's wrist, and a surge of Dragon Immortal Power penetrated deep into her meridians.

Ge Xiaoyao closed his eyes and concentrated, secretly guiding the Dragon Immortal Power to trace the path of the poison used by the snow carp. He quickly discovered that the black poison was slowly spreading towards Qi Qi's heart.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled coldly, "A mere trick, how dare you show off in front of me, Ge Xiaoyao!" Immediately, he used his supreme profound skill to force the poison out of Qi Qi's body bit by bit.

A jet of black blood spurted from the wound on Qi Qi's wrist, staining the surrounding dark water even blacker. "What potent poison!" Ge Xiaoyao, seeing the color of the poison, knew it was extremely deadly. His anger flared, and he cursed the Snow Carp Spirit's ancestors a thousand times over.

In truth, the poison was indeed a sudden act of cruelty by the Snow Carp Spirit, incurable by any medicine except him. Little did he know that Ge Xiaoyao was a master of medicine, the King of Poisons, and possessed supreme profound skills and Dragon Immortal Power—extremely potent antidotes. Thus, Ge Xiaoyao cured Qi Qi of the poison with almost no effort, saving her life.

Although Qi Qi had been poisoned by the Snow Carp Spirit, she also benefited from the misfortune. When Ge Xiaoyao helped her expel the poison, he also left some Dragon Immortal Power within her body. This Dragon Immortal Power was nothing to Ge Xiaoyao, but for Qi Qi, who had never cultivated before, it was an invaluable treasure. As a result, her subsequent cultivation progressed with remarkable speed and ease.

Ge Xiaoyao withdrew his Dragon Immortal Power and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Luckily, I have some healing skills. Otherwise, if I had really carried this poisoned Qi Qi back to the Dragon Palace and had the Old Dragon King beg the Snow Tiger King, wouldn't my reputation have been completely ruined?" After rescuing Qi Qi, Ge Xiaoyao remembered the Ao Mei Grass and got up to pick some more.

He picked the Ao Mei Grass and had just put it into his void bag when he suddenly noticed that Princess Qi Qi's face was flushed and her breathing was rapid.

It turned out that Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Immortal Power was an extremely yang and strong power, and Qi Qi's delicate body was no match for it. Ge Xiaoyao carefully examined the flow of qi and blood in her body and knew that there was no danger to her life, only some heat.

Although the poison in Qi Qi's body had been removed, she could not get up for the time being. Ge Xiaoyao smiled calmly and wanted to loosen the buttons under her neck to allow the heat to dissipate faster and make Qi Qi more comfortable. But just as he reached out, a sharp shout rang out: "Stop! You lecherous scoundrel!"

Startled, Ge Xiaoyao felt a sharp whip lash towards him.

"Who's the lecherous scoundrel?" Ge Xiaoyao dodged the whip, regained his footing, and then noticed three figures not far away. All were dressed in white, and due to the distance and darkness, and the fact that their faces were veiled, he couldn't see their features, but from their figures, he knew it was one man and two women.

"You're the lecherous scoundrel!" The tall woman in the middle, wielding a whip, was furious. The other two, judging from their heavy breathing, were also angry, though not as fiercely independent as the woman in the middle.

Ge Xiaoyao glanced at Qi Qi lying on the ground, her clothes disheveled, her face flushed, and suddenly understood the woman's meaning. "Damn! So they mistook me for a womanizer!" He chuckled and said mockingly, "What a joke! Would I, Ge Xiaoyao, need to pick flowers? Besides, I wouldn't pick these unopened buds!"

"Then what were you doing just now?!" the woman in the middle asked again.

"Oh, it was just a misunderstanding..." Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly said, but then he suddenly stopped and said mockingly, "Why should I tell you who you are? How dare you barge into the Wei River like this!"

"You!" The woman was speechless with anger. At this moment, the man beside him spoke up, “Brother, if there’s a misunderstanding, please explain! We are the Three Immortals of Cangmang, the prince and princess of the Wei River Dragon Palace! If you’re mistaken, you must have heard of our reputation, right?”

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled, “Damn! It turns out we’re all family!” he thought to himself, but said aloud, “If that’s the case, do you know who the person lying on the ground is?”

“You lecherous scoundrel, how dare you spout nonsense!” The woman in the middle, quick-tempered, rushed forward, raising her whip to strike again, but was stopped by the man, “Sister Qiang, calm down!” She then said to Ge Xiaoyao, “It is my sister, the second princess of the Wei River Dragon King!”

Ge Xiaoyao had already understood what they meant by the Three Immortals of Cangmang and the prince and princess, but he was just deliberately teasing them. Nodding, he slowly unfastened the jade pendant from his waist and tossed it into the air. "Look closely, what is this?!"

The woman in the middle reached out to catch it, but was stopped by the Dragon Prince. The Dragon Prince's long sword swung out with a clang, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air, the tip of the sword precisely catching the jade pendant.

"Ah, the Imperial Decree Jade Pendant... Father!" But when they saw the jade pendant clearly, the two exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Seeing the pendant is like seeing the King. Shouldn't you two call me Uncle?"

Just then, Qi Qi, who was lying on the ground, woke up and called out, "Brother Xiaoyao, what are you doing?"

Chapter 181 The Lustful Demon of the Jing River (Part 1)

At the confluence of the Jing and Wei Rivers in Xiqi, there is a dark abyss at the bottom of the river.

Seeing that Qi Qi had woken up, Ge Xiaoyao knew that she was alright, and smiled gently, saying, "It's alright, your older brother and sister are here!"

"Brother, sister?" Qi Qi was startled and quickly jumped up from the ground, only then realizing that her poison wounds were completely healed. She vaguely remembered being poisoned by the Snow Carp Spirit, and then nothing more. However, she believed Ge Xiaoyao had saved her, so she gave him a shy smile, completely shedding her childish playfulness and instead displaying the smile of a mature young woman.

However, when she saw the three people in the shadows, she suddenly reverted to her original little girl persona, rushing forward and throwing herself into the arms of the tall girl holding the whip, pouting, "Big sister, why did you take so long! If it weren't for Brother Xiaoyao, I probably would have died!"

Hearing Qi Qi's words, the three girls realized they had truly misunderstood Ge Xiaoyao.

The Dragon Prince and the woman stepped forward, saying, "We misunderstood you, big brother. We apologize!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded but didn't reply, only smiling at the Dragon Princess. The Dragon Prince and the fairy from the desolate expanse stepped forward. He saw their faces clearly and suddenly remembered the Dragon Consort who resembled Yan Qiang. Could this eldest princess be Yan Qiang?

The Dragon Princess seemed extremely arrogant, completely ignoring Ge Xiaoyao. She didn't even raise her head, only checking Qi Qi for injuries. It was clear she cared quite a bit for her younger sister.

The Prince, embarrassed, quietly reminded her, "Sister..."

But the eldest Dragon Princess acted as if she hadn't heard, saying, "What is it! Don't bother me! Can't you see I'm treating my little sister's injuries? Don't pay attention to that lecherous scoundrel. Even if he saved my little sister, he must have ill intentions!"

The Dragon Prince was very embarrassed, shaking his head helplessly, and giving Ge Xiaoyao an apologetic smile.

Ge Xiaoyao knew she was definitely not Yan Qiang. Even if Yan Qiang didn't recognize him, with her gentleness, kindness, virtue, and politeness, she would never be so unruly. He shook his head slightly, feigning indifference, but chuckled, "Princess Long, I address the Dragon King of the Wei River as brothers. If we're talking about who's truly loyal, you should call me uncle. Whether you're being honest or not, you can go back and ask your father!"

At this moment, Qi Qi added, "Sister, Brother Xiaoyao isn't a bad person at all; he's a god!"

But mentioning the word "god" only fueled Princess Long's anger. She stomped her foot, "Hmph, what god! What uncle!" Turning to Qi Qi, she said, "You're still young and don't understand. Don't assume that outward kindness equates to goodness. Some people are outwardly kind but inwardly harbor evil intentions!"

"Well said! Princess Long is indeed experienced and knowledgeable. However, if you're so suspicious, then there's probably no one in the world you can trust, not even your father and siblings!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled, seeing her words were offensive. Anyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

"You…" Princess Long was momentarily speechless, stammering.

"Enough said. This is no place to linger. If the Snow Tiger King comes again, things will be even more troublesome!" Ge Xiaoyao said before Princess Long could come up with a rebuttal. He knew that although his Dragon-Slaying Blade was no ordinary weapon and possessed great power, the Snow Tiger King's injuries were not very serious. If he were to return with reinforcements, he wouldn't be afraid, but taking care of so many people would require considerable effort.

The Dragon Prince, aware of the Snow Carp Spirit's reputation, quickly nodded and said, "Yes!"

In truth, the Dragon Princess also knew of the Snow Carp Spirit's power, but confident in her knowledge of the Vast Immortal Sword Technique and unwilling to accept defeat after arguing with Ge Xiaoyao, she threw a tantrum, coldly snorting, "A mere Snow Carp Spirit is so afraid! She was just boasting about saving people! Even if the Snow Tiger King hadn't come, I would have been looking for him. I'll definitely make him taste the power of my Vast Immortal Sword!"

Ge Xiaoyao, disdainful, didn't want to stoop to her level. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a surge of pressure around him. Looking around, he saw blinding lights flashing everywhere.

"Haha, brat! The Snow Tiger King was caught off guard and injured by your underhanded trick! But today, you certainly won't escape my grasp!" A burst of maniacal laughter rang out; it was the Snow Carp Spirit, leading an unknown number of troops back to seek revenge.

Ge Xiaoyao noticed that the light wasn't from lamplight, but from crystals. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were fist-sized pearls encased in round, crystalline shells, reflecting light like a flashlight, incredibly bright, dispelling the darkness of the riverbed and illuminating the area.

"Hmph! I didn't expect this fellow to return so quickly! But it's good, let him extinguish this Dragon Princess's anger first, and let me see just how capable she really is!" He ignored the snow carp spirit and smiled at the Dragon Princess, saying, "Dragon Princess, King Snow Tiger has indeed arrived. Now it's up to you!"

The Dragon Princess was also surprised, and regretted her earlier boast. The snow carp spirit had fought her father for many years; how could she not know its power? Even her father couldn't defeat it, so she certainly had no confidence. But that damned Xiaoyao had to humiliate him. Of course, he couldn't let him look down on him. So he gritted his teeth, pushed Qi Qi towards the woman who had come with him, and turned to face the Snow Carp Spirit who had approached. He called out, "Snow Carp Spirit, did you just injure my sister?"

The Snow Carp Spirit had come back in a great throes, firstly to avenge the blow from Ge Xiaoyao, and secondly to retrieve the precious sacred medicine, the Ao Mei Grass. At this moment, he saw that the dead dragon turtle's head was now empty, knowing that Ge Xiaoyao must have taken it out, and he was just about to fight him. But seeing the Dragon Princess coming to greet him, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Princess Dragon, it's only been a few days, and you've grown into a beautiful young woman! Look at your figure! Hmm... it really makes my heart itch! How about this, I'll cure your sister's poison, and you'll become one of my eighteen concubines, how about that?" You see, this Snow Carp Spirit was an extremely lewd demon. He rivaled the Dragon King of the Wei River in the Jing River, even building his underwater palace like a dragon palace. He abducted seventeen beautiful women from the human world and the river to be his concubines. His Snow Tiger King's palace was filled with lewd sounds every night and wanton words every day. Not only that, he also recruited all sorts of lewd demons, and had many lustful monsters under his command, taking pleasure in abducting beautiful women from all over. The Jing River had become a veritable river of debauchery.

The Dragon Princess couldn't bear such humiliation. Her heart pounded, she stomped her foot, gritted her teeth, and her body soared into the air like a goose, her long whip whipping at the Snow Carp Spirit like an angry dragon.

"Haha, what's the point of wearing that veil in this dark place? Quickly tear it off so your Snow Tiger King can see if your little darling has grown even more beautiful!" The Snow Carp Spirit lewdly laughed, completely ignoring the Dragon Princess's rapidly approaching whip. With a swift grab, an invisible surge of demonic power ripped off the Dragon Princess's veil. However, at that very moment, the Dragon Princess's whip struck him squarely. With her

veil torn off, countless luminous pearls shone upon her face, instantly filling her with shame. She snorted coldly, increasing the force of her whip. The already exhausted whip tip suddenly tightened, advancing like an arrow, piercing the Snow Carp Spirit's shoulder. Seeing the Dragon Princess

's veil torn off by the Snow Carp King in less than a round, everyone was stunned. While secretly admiring the Snow Carp Spirit's prowess, they all secretly felt a chill for the Dragon Princess. Only Ge Xiaoyao felt a tremor in his heart. He had only meant it as a jest to provoke the Dragon Princess into attacking, assuming she wasn't Yan Qiang.

However, when he saw her face, his heart ached. This Dragon Princess was none other than Yan Qiang, the one he had longed for day and night! In that instant, a mix of emotions overwhelmed him—the tender feelings of their past days and nights, the bittersweet sadness of their separation, and the excruciating pain all surged within him.

But before he could dwell on it, he saw Yan Qiang's whip already piercing the Snow Carp Spirit's shoulder. A sense of foreboding washed over him. "Not good! Yan Qiang, retreat!" he cried, lunging forward. The power of his Dragon Immortal Force, capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, mingled with a sharp whistling sound as he struck the Snow Carp Spirit.

Enraged, Princess Longxian channeled her inner energy, thrusting the whip forward instead of backing it. Caught off guard, the snow carp spirit was secretly pleased with her success when she suddenly felt the whip, which had pierced the snow carp spirit's shoulder, being pulled into thin air by a powerful force. Not only could she not retract it, but it also violently dragged her forward. Lost in mid-air, she was about to fall into the snow carp spirit's arms along with the whip.

The snow carp spirit chuckled lewdly, opening its arms to welcome the beauty who was throwing herself into its embrace. It wasn't that the Dragon Princess's cultivation was too weak, but rather that she had fallen for its illusionary trick. Just as the Dragon Princess lashed out with her whip, it had already used its demonic power to transform its form, misleading her target. In her anger and embarrassment, the Dragon Princess hadn't noticed, and thus her attack failed, leaving her helpless and helpless. She was terrified, her face paling, and she screamed incessantly.

However, just as the Dragon Princess was about to pounce on the snow carp spirit, she felt the immense suction suddenly dissipate. She quickly steadied herself, no longer daring to attack, and fled back as if flying. Once she was on her feet, she breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking, "That was close! That was close!" Looking at the snow carp spirit again, she only heard a deafening roar.

Ge Xiaoyao recognized the Dragon Girl's face as Yan Qiang. His intervention, fueled by extraordinary dragon immortal power, was crucial. The Snow Carp Spirit , having already experienced its power, dared not be careless and had no choice but to abandon the Dragon Girl, focusing all its efforts on dealing with Ge Xiaoyao's attack. With perfect precision, Ge Xiaoyao rescued the Dragon Princess.

The Snow Carp Spirit, having reduced its demonic power, focused entirely on countering Ge Xiaoyao's dragon immortal power. The clash of forces caused the surrounding river to tremble violently, the sound like thunder. The Dragon Prince, Dragon Princess, and the others were terrified. The lesser demons, lacking cultivation, were instantly disoriented, and over a dozen of the numerous luminous pearls were extinguished in an instant.

Taking advantage of the dimming of the pearls and the return of darkness to the riverbed, Ge Xiaoyao roared, unleashing a surge of dragon immortal power that swept up the four dragons, carrying them upwards.

Even the Snow Carp Spirit felt his blood stagnate from the attack. When he regained his senses and looked again, Ge Xiaoyao and the others were nowhere to be seen. "Chase them! Don't let them get away!" In his rage, he roared, leaping into the water and chasing after them. A dazzling light shone from the pearls, and the demons he had brought joined the fray in a chaotic pursuit.

In terms of cultivation, the Dragon Prince, the Dragon Princess, Qi Qi, and the unnamed Cangmang Fairy, while not as powerful as Ge Xiaoyao, were still formidable. Ge Xiaoyao's dragon immortal power swept them up in an instant. By the time they realized his intention, they had all broken free and gone their own way. Moreover, except for the Cangmang Fairy, the dragon princes and princesses had all grown up in the water, so their speed in the water was naturally considerable. In no time, they had emerged from the abyss where the Jing and Wei rivers met and entered the Wei River. Although

the Snow Carp Spirit, in her fury, led her demons in a relentless pursuit, she knew she couldn't catch them. So, once they reached the boundary of the Wei River after emerging from the dark abyss at the bottom of the river, she stopped, cursed loudly, and turned back.

Chapter 182 The Lewd Demon of the Jing River (Part 2)

It is said that Ge Xiaoyao and the Dragon Prince and Dragon Princess broke through the Black Abyss at the confluence of the Jing and Wei Rivers and arrived in the territory of the Wei River. This was now the territory of the Wei River Dragon King, and they figured the Snow Carp Spirit wouldn't dare to pursue them here. They were relieved . Moreover, apart from Ge Xiaoyao, the Dragon Prince, Dragon Princess, and the Cangmang Fairy had all lost a lot of true energy traveling at breakneck speed, so they could finally catch their breath and walk slowly.

Ge Xiaoyao finally saw Yan Qiang, whom he had longed for day and night. He should have been excited, but unfortunately, Yan Qiang was like a different person, completely ignoring him and seemingly quite hostile. Although he had saved her, she still called him "malicious and treacherous!", leaving him helpless and at a loss for words.

Through Qi Qi's introduction, the group exchanged names. The dragon prince, with his extraordinary bearing and handsome appearance, was named Mo Zhao. He was the only prince of the Wei River Dragon King. Although he was only four years old, appearing to be around eighteen or nineteen, he lacked the unruliness of worldly disciples. He was polite, well-mannered, and exuded an air of grandeur in every gesture, which Ge Xiaoyao greatly admired.

As Ge Xiaoyao had expected, the eldest dragon princess was still named Yan Qiang. However, this Yan Qiang was someone he deeply pitied. According to Qi Qi, she was the eldest daughter of the Wei River Dragon King, but it seemed she wasn't born to the Dragon Queen, but rather was a mortal woman. Having grown up in the Wei River, she possessed all the characteristics of a dragon prince and princess. However, she was upright and willful, sometimes even ignoring the words of the Dragon King and Dragon Queen. She strictly disciplined the dragon prince, Mo Zhao, showing no mercy, but was completely obedient and loving towards her younger sister. Qi Qi spoke of this with a proud and happy expression.

Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, "They must have been spoiled rotten by the Dragon King and Dragon Queen. The two sisters are practically identical!" He hadn't expected to meet Yan Qiang in this place, in this setting, and it seemed like they were separated by two lifetimes. Although they appeared to be close in age, it seemed she had no memory of his past life. A wave of past affection washed over him, but a pang of sadness washed over him as well.

Qi Qi had known the Cangmang Fairy for a long time; she was a disciple of Crown Prince Mo Zhao and Dragon Girl Yan Qiang, studying together in Cangmang, and her name was Ling Lei. She was said to be an orphan, and they were very close, often visiting the Dragon Palace, so Qi Qi was quite familiar with her. In Qi Qi's eyes, Ling Lei was a perfect fairy—gentle, understanding, and possessing considerable cultivation. In Qi Qi's words, she was her idol.

A single autumn blade of grass silently drifted into the water, flowing across the surface before quietly sinking. Ge Xiaoyao caught it in his hand; the veins of the leaf were so clearly visible, so pale…

“What? That snow carp demon is truly lawless, daring to bully me, the Dragon King! I will immediately muster the Dragon Palace troops to annihilate this demon!” Upon hearing that they had encountered the snow carp spirit, the Dragon King of Wei immediately roared in anger.

“Heh heh… it seems you’ve let that snow carp spirit bully you more than once or twice, otherwise how could you have so easily surrendered the Jing River and let it run rampant?” Ge Xiaoyao inwardly chuckled at the Dragon King’s pretense, then thought for a moment and said, “Brother Dragon, please calm down for now. This matter should be discussed carefully! Although we suffered a small loss this time, that snow carp spirit didn’t gain any advantage either! Moreover, that snow carp spirit has gathered a large number of demons; even if we unleash all the Wei River Dragon Army, it will likely be a fierce battle where both sides are severely injured!”

The Dragon King pondered for a moment, then nodded. In fact, over the years… Determined to eradicate the snow carp spirit, but always unsuccessfully, upon hearing Ge Xiaoyao's reasonable analysis, he said, "Brother Ge, what brilliant ideas do you have? I will certainly obey!"

Meanwhile, the Dragon King and Ge Xiaoyao discussed military matters, with Crown Prince Mo Zhao, Princess Yanqiang, Princess Qiqi, and the fairy Ling Lei also present. Yanqiang was surprised that her father addressed Ge Xiaoyao as a brother, appearing respectful and obedient, and was extremely angry. Although she couldn't speak, she frowned and turned away from Ge Xiaoyao. She even pretended not to see Ling Lei's winks, silently fuming. Crown

Prince Mo Zhao also noticed his elder sister's displeasure and immediately gave Ling Lei a wink. Ling Lei, sensing the opportunity, said to the Dragon King, "Uncle, Yanqiang and I have something to do and need to go for a walk. You all discuss how to deal with the enemy first!" Seeing the Dragon King agree, he quickly pulled Yanqiang up. Although Qiangyan disliked it, she couldn't disobey, so she let Linglei pull her outside.

Once outside the palace, the two strolled into the large coral forest. Only then did Qiangyan manage to shake off Linglei's arm, scolding, "Sister, what are you doing?!"

Linglei smiled, her jade-like face beaming, and said softly, "Sister, that Ge Xiaoyao is a good person. He not only saved Xiaoqi, but also risked his life to save you in your time of need. Why are you so annoyed by him?"

"Hmph, who's annoyed by him? He's not from the Dragon Palace, what's he doing here? He's clearly up to no good. Father and Qiqi were fooled by him, and you actually believe he's a good person!" Qiangyan retorted petulantly.

Ling Lei's beautiful face remained smiling. Although she wasn't as beautiful as Yan Qiang, her smile was still quite charming. "Yan Qiang... that's not right of you. What evidence do you have that he has ill intentions? I heard... I heard he's some kind of Heavenly God sent by the Heavenly Court!"

"Hmph! What a load of rubbish! With his looks, even if he were a god, he'd definitely be an imposter!" Yan Qiang stamped her foot, turned her face away, and said disdainfully.

Seeing Yan Qiang's expression, Ling Lei chuckled and gently advised, "Sister Yan Qiang, how can you be so quick to guess... Alright... he doesn't have any deep-seated hatred for us, why do you hate him so much?"

Yan Qiang frowned, as if she had taken these words to heart, but then a mysterious smile appeared on her face. She leaned close to Ling Lei's cheek and whispered, "Yes, he doesn't have any deep-seated hatred for us, but you're speaking so highly of him, are you in love with him? Are you afraid that when you marry him in the future, I won't acknowledge him as my brother-in-law?"

Two red clouds immediately rose to Ling Lei's face. She frowned and stomped her foot, saying, "You damned Yan Qiang, what nonsense are you spouting!" She was about to punch Yan Qiang with her small fist, but Yan Qiang had already run into the depths of the coral forest, laughing loudly.

"Hmph! You damned Yan Qiang... just wait until I get back, I'll teach you a lesson!" Ling Lei stomped her foot angrily. However, as the saying goes, "What is said without intention may be taken to heart by the listener!" Ling Lei was ignited by Yan Qiang's teasing remark, stirring up the girlish longing deep within her heart. Ge Xiaoyao was handsome, highly skilled, and had recently acquired the reputation of a celestial being, making him the object of many young girls' affections. He had first saved Qi Qi, then Yan Qiang, and repelled the Snow Carp Demon King. He was both serious and humorous, handsome and charming. As she thought about him, she couldn't help but gaze at him longingly. Suddenly, Yan Qiang, who had just run away, circled back and shouted in her ear, "Ha... I told you so! Fairy Ling Lei has indeed taken a liking to that... Hehe, don't worry! I'll have my mother arrange a marriage for you right now!"

Startled by Yan Qiang's words, Ling Lei snapped out of her daze and was immediately filled with shame, wishing she could disappear into the ground. "You brat, you dead Yan Qiang, don't talk nonsense again!" With that, she twisted her slender waist and chased after Yan Qiang, who had already fled far away.

Inside the Dragon Palace, discussions on eliminating the Jing River Snow Carp Spirit and its horde of demons had reached a fever pitch. Ge Xiaoyao proposed that he first enter the Jing River Snow Carp Spirit's lair to scout the enemy's situation. If anything was amiss, they could kill the Snow Carp Spirit first. Then, when the demons were leaderless and in chaos, the Dragon Prince Mo Zhao could lead the dragon soldiers and generals into the Jing River to wipe out all the demons. Meanwhile, the Wei River Dragon King would guard the Wei River to prevent any powerful demons from taking advantage of the chaos to launch a counterattack against the Wei River Dragon Palace.

The Dragon King regarded Ge Xiaoyao as a god, naturally treating his words as a divine decree from Heaven, and clapped his hands in approval.

However, the Dragon Prince Mo Zhao frowned and said, "Uncle Ge... you're not familiar with the Jing and Wei Rivers, so why not leave the task of scouting the enemy's situation to me?"

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "Mo Zhao, don't call me Uncle Ge. Although I address your father as a brother, it's a江湖 (jianghu,

the martial arts world) way of addressing us. We're not that far apart in age, so let's stick to our proper titles and address each other as brothers! Why don't you call me Brother Xiaoyao, like Qi Qi does?" Mo Zhao grew up in the Dragon Palace, learned his skills in Cangmang Mountain, and had traveled extensively, so he naturally knew how江湖 (jianghu) terms worked. But with his father present, he dared not disregard seniority and quickly declined.

Ge Xiaoyao gave the Dragon King a wink. The Dragon King understood, and, being completely obedient to Ge Xiaoyao, laughed heartily, saying, "No problem, no problem. Since Brother Ge doesn't intend to act as an elder, a familiar title is perfectly acceptable!" He then said to the Dragon Prince, "Mo Zhao, why don't you call him Brother Ge?"

Mo Zhao then respectfully called out, "Brother Ge!"

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "Brother Mo Zhao volunteered to be the vanguard earlier, not that it was impossible, but that snow carp spirit is too vicious and cunning, and its demonic power is too high. You are probably no match for it. If it discovers this, we might alert it, and we would lose the initiative. I have a set of celestial escape techniques that allow me to become invisible. I doubt that the snow carp spirit can detect it. This is the best method!"

"Brother Ge..." Mo Zhao wanted to argue, but seeing the Dragon King's expression, he held back.

Ge Xiaoyao was a man of exceptional skill; his ability to read people was already superb. Seeing that Mo Zhao was unconvinced but dared not speak due to his father's authority, he wanted to demonstrate the invisibility technique to him so that he would be convinced. However, he turned his head and saw Qi Qi beside him, looking at him with a smile. He thought to himself, "She can see me. It would be better to send her away to subdue this young and arrogant Crown Prince Mo Zhao!" So he said to Qi Qi, "Fairy Ling Lei and Princess Yan Qiang have been out for a while and haven't returned yet. Sister Qi Qi, why don't you go and go find them? They were also powerful warriors in the battle against the

demons in Jing River!" Qi Qi's feelings for Ge Xiaoyao were no longer the same as before. Now she almost regarded him as an idol. Of course, she responded to his words immediately. When he gave the order, she ignored her father's wishes, gave a crisp reply, and ran out.

Ge Xiaoyao then said, "Brother Long, Brother Hei Zhao, I will now use the Heavenly God's Escape Technique. You can use your spells to investigate and see if you can detect my presence."

The Dragon King hurriedly said, "Brother Ge, what are you saying? How could I not trust you?" However, Mo Zhao, confident in his father's Dragon God's true teachings and having learned some immortal skills from Cangmang Mountain, was eager to try and see who was better than Ge Xiaoyao.

Ge Xiaoyao said, "Brother Long, it's alright. You've dealt with that snow carp spirit several times, so you're very familiar with her. Why don't you give it a try? Let's treat it as a game, a practice session!" As he spoke, he silently recited the incantation, and his figure instantly disappeared without a trace.

The Dragon King and Mo Zhao used their respective abilities, but they still couldn't detect Ge Xiaoyao's whereabouts until Ge Xiaoyao quietly drew Mo Zhao's sword and appeared. The two were greatly surprised and were completely convinced of Ge Xiaoyao's cultivation.

The Dragon King immediately said, "We will proceed as Brother Ge wishes. Since you are not familiar with the Jing and Wei rivers, we can deploy more Dragon Guards along the Wei River. Brother Ge, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"

Mo Zhao accepted the sword returned by Ge Xiaoyao somewhat apologetically and said, "Brother Ge is indeed capable. Mo Zhao will follow your orders!"

Ge Xiaoyao was secretly pleased that he had achieved his goal. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qi Qi running over in a panic, panting and with tears in her eyes, urgently saying, "Brother Ge, Father... It's terrible! Eldest Sister and Sister Ling Lei have been captured by that Snow Carp Demon King!"

Chapter 183 The Lewd Demon of the Jing River (Part 2)

"What?"

"How could this happen?"

"Damn it!"

Ge Xiaoyao, the Dragon King, and Dragon Prince Mo Zhao stood up at the same time, greatly shocked.

The Dragon King slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Damn snow carp demon! I, the Dragon Lord of the Wei River, will risk my old life to skin you alive!"

Mo Zhao then said, "Your son begs Father to send troops to quickly annihilate the snow carp demon and rescue my two sisters!"

Although Ge Xiaoyao was anxious, he remained the calmest. "Brother Dragon, Mo Zhao, don't panic. Qi Qi, how were they captured?"

"I don't know either..." Qi Qi was on the verge of tears, speaking incoherently, "I went to look for them, and when I got to the coral forest, I heard fighting inside. When I ran over... the snow carp demon and three other demons had captured my two sisters and were about to take them away. I called for the guards, but they couldn't stop them... They even tried to capture me, so I transformed into a flying fish and ran back to report!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded secretly and said, "Brother Long, Mo Zhao, that snow carp demon isn't stupid. She must be trying to use them as hostages to threaten us, so they should be safe for now. But we shouldn't delay. You should immediately gather the dragon soldiers and generals and head to the Black Abyss at the border of the Jing and Wei rivers to await orders. I'll go to the Jing River Demon Palace first, just in case. You can attack when I give you my telepathic message!"

The Dragon King thought for a moment and said, "That snow carp demon is so vicious..." "It seems I can't stay here in the Dragon Palace any longer. I'll lead the troops with Mo Zhao to wipe out that demon!"

Ge Xiaoyao hesitated. "With Princess Yanqiang and Fairy Linglei's skills, it would be difficult for that Snow Carp Spirit to succeed so easily on his own. He must have other highly skilled helpers by his side. It would be safer for Brother Long to lead the expedition personally. However, the safety of the Dragon Palace..."

The Dragon King sighed. "If I can't even protect my own daughter, what use is this Dragon Palace to me? What use is it for me to be the Dragon King?"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded. "Alright... I predict that the demon, having captured the princess and fairy, will definitely negotiate with us. The next step will surely be a letter. Regarding the dispatch of troops, we must not act rashly. The army should not assemble, and we should not make a scene. We must act secretly and separately, and we must not alert the enemy!"

The Wei River Dragon King nodded in agreement.

Just as Ge Xiaoyao was about to get up, a crab soldier suddenly ran in from outside and handed a letter to the Wei River Dragon King.

The Dragon King of the Wei River opened the letter and read: "Brother Dragon King of the Wei River, how have you been? Your humble servant Xuehu sends his regards. Your princess and your friend are currently in my hands. If you wish them to return, you must cede half of the Wei River to me. If you refuse, I must offend you!"

"Damn! What a huge appetite!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. "It seems the original plan will have to be changed. Hmm..." He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we use a counter-strategy, feigning one move while secretly making another! You send soldiers to lead the people of Wei River to retreat and keep that snow carp spirit at bay. Also, order the main army to secretly head to Jing River by land. What do you think?"

The Dragon King hesitated and said, "That's possible, but if the navy travels by land and doesn't disturb the people, if any people of Xiqi are harmed by the navy, and the Heavenly Court finds out, they will surely be punished!"

"Damn it! Where did that fearless spirit of the Dragon Palace go?! What time is it? Are you still afraid of the Heavenly Court?!" Ge Xiaoyao was furious and immediately said, "I can't worry about that now. If the Heavenly Court really blames us, I'll take the blame myself!"

The Dragon King of the Wei River then remembered that Ge Xiaoyao was a "God of Bliss" sent down by the Heavenly Court and hurriedly said, "How can you do that?"

Ge Xiaoyao said, "It's only natural for soldiers to use deception. Besides, the Shang army is pressing on the border, and the people have already fled. Send out orders that if we encounter the Shang army, we should show no mercy! If the Heavenly Court blames us, we can use the excuse of helping Xiqi repel the Shang army and protecting the people to cover it up."

The Dragon King's mind was quick. Ge Xiaoyao had made it so clear, so why was he still hesitating? He immediately said, "Alright! Brother Ge, go first. We'll reorganize the Dragon Army immediately!"

The three of them went their separate ways. Ge Xiaoyao was anxious about Yan Qiang's safety and moved the fastest. Before the Dragon King and Mo Zhao could see him clearly, he had already disappeared.

"With this Blissful God here, we will surely be able to annihilate the Snow Carp Spirit and rescue our two elder sisters!" said Crown Prince Mo Zhao. The

Dragon King of the Wei River nodded. "Zhao'er, this is your time to show your skills and establish your authority..."

Mo Zhao understood his father's meaning. Now that he was an adult, if he could establish his authority in the Dragon Army through this battle, it would be of great benefit to him when he took over the Dragon Palace in the future. "Father, rest assured, I will not let you down!"

The Dragon King nodded and roared coldly, "Where is Prime Minister Gui Ba?"

...

At the bottom of the icy Wei River, huge schools of fish could be seen gliding swiftly by from time to time. The Dragon King's orders were carried out quickly, and the people of the Wei River were gathering and retreating, leaving half of the Wei River to the Snow Carp Spirit.

A figure darted through the water faster than a fish, but his direction was opposite to the school of fish; he headed straight for the Jing River. It was Ge Xiaoyao, eager to reach the Snow Tiger Demon's lair. His speed was many times faster than when he gathered herbs last time, and he quickly reached the dark abyss at the confluence of the Jing and Wei Rivers.

Ge Xiaoyao took a deep breath and silently recited the incantation for invisibility. To avoid being discovered by the Jing River demons, he needed to use invisibility magic and conceal the light of his immortal armor, relying solely on his eyesight to traverse the dark abyss.

The Jing River flowed eastward alongside the Wei River into the sea; the two rivers did not meet on the surface, only in this dark abyss at the bottom. Ge Xiaoyao passed through the pitch-black underground abyss, and his vision gradually brightened. The heavy demonic and bloody aura of the water immediately told him that this was undoubtedly the Jing River.

Ge Xiaoyao followed the rushing Jing River upstream, passing through a vast expanse of black coral forest. Soon, he came upon a palace built of black stone, its shape and size identical to the Dragon Palace. However, the stone tablet in front of the palace bore the four stark white characters "Snow Tiger King's Palace," making it as eerie as a ghostly underworld.

"Damn! This snow carp spirit is quite something, making everything so dark. Is it afraid his whiteness won't stand out?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, swaggering past the various strangely shaped water demons patrolling back and forth. No one could see him; this was his greatest asset.

He didn't touch the lesser demons. Ge Xiaoyao knew they would only be cannon fodder at best; even if he questioned them, he wouldn't get anything out of them. It was better to find them himself; it was as convenient as entering his own home.

The Water Demon Palace was quite large, but based on Ge Xiaoyao's experience, there was no need to wander east or west; he could simply go straight. The invisibility and wall-penetrating spells he'd learned from Jiang Ziya were truly indispensable.

"Mmm...ah...Your Majesty, again..." A lewd moan reached Ge Xiaoyao's ears, exciting him. "Damn! A great battle is imminent, and this Snow Carp Demon is still indulging in pleasure here. Hmph, even on the verge of death, she doesn't forget women!"

Ge Xiaoyao quickened his pace, passing through a dark stone wall. The scene before him truly astonished him.

It was an enormous palace, containing nothing but a bed that occupied more than half the space. On the bed, a dozen or so naked women of varying appearances surrounded a tall, naked man. Ge Xiaoyao recognized the man as none other than the Snow Carp Demon, known as the "Snow Tiger King."

A tall, slender woman was thrusting her naked upper body, pinning the snow carp spirit beneath her. Her alluring face wore an extremely lewd expression, her crimson lips glistening with saliva as she moaned and groaned.

The other women weren't idle either; each held the snow carp spirit's limbs, their smooth, pink tongues licking every inch of his skin, each contorting themselves into lewd and obscene poses, trying to attract his attention.

"Alas, poor women!" Ge Xiaoyao closed his eyes. A quick glance wasn't enough for a closer look; he already knew that only the tall, slender woman was truly engaging in sexual activity. The others were acting impulsively, fueled by large doses of aphrodisiacs.

Their heightened lust, their pink, damp, glistening bodies, their flushed faces, and their rapid breathing were enough to prove they had taken a large amount of aphrodisiacs.

"Damn! Compared to this, what is King Zhou? So the real lecherous king is here!" Ge Xiaoyao thought bitterly, filled with resentment and shame. He finally understood why the Snow Carp Spirit had gone to such lengths, even risking a break with the Wei River Dragon Palace, to obtain the Ao Mei Grass.

The Ao Mei Grass was not only a sacred medicine for nourishing yin and strengthening yang, but if refined using evil methods and mixed with ingredients like Epimedium, Jade Flower Pollen, and Tongxin Grass, it could create extremely potent aphrodisiacs. Its effects were incredibly strong; just a small amount was enough to instantly transform dozens of chaste and virtuous women into lustful harlots, and the effects would last for a very long time, until these women exhausted their yin essence. However, by then, even women with strong constitutions would be severely weakened, their breath faint, and on the verge of death; those with weaker constitutions would have long since vanished without a trace.

At this moment, the slender woman seemed to have reached the peak of her pleasure. She let out a few satisfied moans and soft gasps before slowly releasing the snow carp spirit's body. She lay languidly on the bed, limbs outstretched, in a wildly lewd pose, crying out, "Your Majesty, I really put in my all for your eighteenth and nineteenth concubines!"

Ge Xiaoyao looked at the snow carp spirit; indeed, he was very strong. Despite the intense exertion, he remained unfazed, chuckling, "Good! Good! After it's done, I will reward you handsomely!"

Seeing the snow carp spirit's lingering lust, Ge Xiaoyao began to worry about the women who had taken large amounts of aphrodisiacs. However, if they didn't submit to his rape, they would likely succumb to the effects of the drug.

Sure enough, the snow carp spirit rolled over and pulled over a beautiful woman with full breasts and snowy buttocks. Amidst the chaotic panting and the woman's seductive laughter, he pounced on her. Two more women, consumed by lust, disregarded everything else and pressed themselves against the Snow Carp Spirit, moaning incessantly with each rise and fall of their bodies.

Ge Xiaoyao couldn't bear to watch any longer. He sighed and thought to himself, "These women, consumed by lust, would rather die innocently than be ravaged to death by this Snow Carp Spirit!" With that thought, he gathered his Dragon Immortal Power into a single line and gently released it, striking the most delicate spot on the two outer women amidst the chaos. As the saying goes

, Yin and Yang are mutually restraining; Yin overcomes Yang, and Yang overcomes Yin. When Yang is strong, Yin weakens; when Yin is strong, Yang weakens. Yang gives birth to Yin, and Yin gives birth to Yang. Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Immortal Power was the ultimate Yang energy, while the women's most tender spots were the ultimate Yin areas. The Dragon Immortal Power was so powerful that it caused Yin to perish. The two women didn't even have time to struggle before they silently died, their souls returning to the underworld without experiencing any suffering.

Ge Xiaoyao sighed again, about to use his Dragon Immortal power to instruct the other women, when suddenly he heard a loud laugh from the snow carp spirit beneath the women's jade bodies, "Eighteenth Consort, Nineteenth Consort, let's see how you, Snow Tiger King, are about to come down and have some fun!"

"Damn! Eighteenth Consort, Nineteenth Consort? Could it be Yanqiang and Linglei? This lewd demon doesn't know where he's hiding them!" Just as Ge Xiaoyao was thinking this, he heard a shout above him: "Shameless lewd demon, release us immediately... otherwise my father will definitely not forgive you!"

Chapter 184 Exorcising Demons and Destroying Monsters (Part 1)

Xiqi Realm, Jing River, Snow Tiger King's Demon Palace.

Ge Xiaoyao couldn't bear to see those women being ravaged by the snow carp before they died, so he secretly took action to give them a final end, but suddenly he heard a woman's shout from above.

He looked up sharply and saw a huge net in mid-air, its four corners nailed to the stone chamber ceiling, catching two struggling delicate bodies, none other than Dragon Princess Yanqiang and the Cangmang Fairy Linglei. It turned out that he had been so engrossed in watching the snow carp spirit's lewd performance that he hadn't noticed the two people above him.

"Damn it!" Seeing the snow carp spirit tormenting the two like this, Ge Xiaoyao's anger flared even more. He cursed under his breath, wishing he could grind the snow carp spirit to dust and save Yanqiang and Linglei.

That day, Yanqiang and Linglei were accidentally encountered by the snow carp spirit, who had ventured deep into the Wei River to gather information. After a struggle, they were captured. Seeing the two's beauty, the snow carp spirit was filled with lust and conceived the evil idea of taking them as its eighteenth and nineteenth concubines. Furthermore, it sent a messenger to the Wei River Dragon King, threatening the two's lives to force him to cede half of the Wei River. The snow carp spirit had a clever plan. It wanted to force the Wei River Dragon King to back down, but it wouldn't release the two. Then, it would gather all the demons to sweep through the Wei River Dragon Palace, simply taking the Wei River for itself, thus gaining both beauties and the kingdom.

Yanqiang and Linglei naturally resisted, struggling desperately. The snow carp spirit resorted to his lewd scheme, hanging the two girls up and forcing them to watch his erotic performance without any cover, calling it "indulging in lust." The two girls were helpless. Although they could close their eyes, their hands were bound behind their backs, and the lewd sounds and words poured into their ears unchecked. They were still unmarried girls, only vaguely understanding matters of the bedroom. Now, seeing each other so naked, they immediately blushed with shame. Although the snow carp spirit hadn't given them aphrodisiacs, the aphrodisiac vapors in the stone chamber were already driving the two half-open buds to the brink of losing control. They could do nothing but curse and swear.

"Hmm…it seems Yanqiang and Linglei are not in immediate danger. Perhaps I should go scout out the situation first, report to the Dragon King and the others, and then come back to deal with this snow carp spirit!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, composing himself.

There's a saying: "A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years." Determined to annihilate this group of demons, Ge Xiaoyao quietly withdrew, circling the Jing River Snow Tiger King's demon palace. He discovered several demons with higher cultivation levels gathered together, drinking and discussing matters.

Ge Xiaoyao, without his knowledge, subtly tested their cultivation with his immortal power and found they were all no less powerful than Mo Zhao. He thought to himself that the Snow Carp Spirit was indeed quite capable, managing to gather so many skilled individuals. This demon-slaying expedition was bound to be a fierce battle. It was fortunate that the Dragon King had personally intervened; otherwise, if they had acted rashly, even with Mo Zhao leading his troops, the situation would likely have been difficult to manage.

Among the demons, Ge Xiaoyao noticed two alluring female demons, both with fair skin, slender waists, and tall figures. While not exceptionally beautiful, they were still considered above average in appearance. They were drinking with several male demons, flirting and making lewd noises.

"Like master, like soldiers! With such a lewd master, even his subordinates are cut from the same cloth!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, but a plan suddenly formed in his mind. Seeing that they were all talk and no action, he decided to give them a little thrill, letting them enjoy themselves before they died.

With this thought, Ge Xiaoyao quietly floated to the wine table, took out a jade bottle from his pouch, poured out two slightly transparent pills, and gently crushed them, sprinkling them into their wine cups. The demons, preoccupied with their banter, were completely unaware that Ge Xiaoyao had tampered with their wine.

Having secretly sprinkled the pills, Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and quietly withdrew, secretly admiring his own methods.

The pills sprinkled into the demon wine were not only extremely potent aphrodisiacs but also extremely strong laxatives. "Hehe... there'll be a good show soon!"

While Ge Xiaoyao watched the spectacle he had orchestrated, on the other hand, the Wei River Dragon King and his prince Mo Zhao were gathering their troops, dividing them into several groups to land along the low-lying, hidden areas of the Wei River, all heading towards the Jing River.

The Dragon Palace indeed possessed several fierce generals, such as Prime Minister Gui Ba, whose cultivation was second only to the Wei River Dragon King, and General Crab and General Water Insect, all of whom were extremely powerful. Moreover, the Dragon King was accompanied by eight Dragon Guards, all top-tier experts of the dragon race.

In truth, there was no real difference between immortals and demons. These people were currently guarding the Wei River Dragon Palace on the orders of the Heavenly Court; in court, they were gods, but in the wilderness, they were demons. Ultimately, there was no difference.

As Ge Xiaoyao had predicted, the area east of the Wei River outside Xiqi had already become a battlefield. The civilians, following the orders of the Marquis of Xibo, had evacuated to Xiqi city long before the Shang army arrived, leaving the fields deserted and desolate.

Previously, the Shang army and the Zhou army of Xiqi had fought several small battles, with each side winning and losing. The Shang army had the advantage of superior numbers, equipment, and training. The Zhou army, on the other hand, had the advantage of Jiang Ziya's exceptional strategy and unpredictable tactics.

Unable to conquer Xiqi after a long period, the Shang army set up camp a hundred li outside the city, near the Jing River, building a fortified camp and waiting for an opportunity to capture Xiqi in one fell swoop.

Mo Zhao, leading the vanguard, received a report from the Dragon Soldiers that hundreds of thousands of Shang troops had been spotted ahead. Mo Zhao was overjoyed and immediately ordered the Dragon Soldiers to advance swiftly and attack the Shang army on the banks of the Jing River, as instructed by Ge Xiaoyao. The

Dragon Soldiers traversed the water, creating a vast expanse of water wherever they went.

Caught completely off guard, the Shang army was thrown into disarray by the sudden onslaught of the towering waves. Though well-trained, they were still flesh and blood, no match for the dragon soldiers and generals. Countless were killed in the dragon soldiers' charge, and many more were driven into the Jing River to drown. The more than 100,000 Shang soldiers sent to suppress the rebellion in Xiqi thus vanished without a trace, relieving the siege of Xiqi.

The drowning of countless Shang soldiers also alerted the demons in the Jing River. Following Ge Xiaoyao's instructions, Mo Zhao only attacked the Shang army and then remained hidden in the Jing River. Therefore, the unsuspecting demons of the Jing River believed it was a land-based Shang-Zhou war and treated the drowning Shang soldiers as a delicious meal.

Ge Xiaoyao stood smugly to the side, watching the demons drink. Before long, the effects of the drug took hold; the eyes of the demons and demonesses changed, becoming filled with lust, and they disregarded everything else, immediately undressing.

Seeing that things had gone smoothly, Ge Xiaoyao knew it was time to rescue Yan Qiang and Ling Lei. He quietly returned and found the snow carp spirit still engaged in its lewd acts inside the stone chamber, while Yan Qiang and Ling Lei, hanging from the ceiling, lay motionless, seemingly exhausted from their lewd behavior.

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled to himself, thinking, "You snow carp spirit are certainly full of energy, but you'll inevitably die at my hands! Hmph, I'll rescue those two beauties first, then deal with you!" With that thought, he unleashed a wisp of dragon immortal power, intending to sever the rope net hanging from the ceiling.

Just as the dragon immortal power reached the net, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly heard the snow carp spirit burst into wild laughter. He immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly retreated, but it was too late. The dragon immortal power had triggered some mechanism, and the stone chamber suddenly darkened. With a deafening roar, Ge Xiaoyao was pushed forward several steps by an immense force. When he regained his composure, he found himself in a stone prison.

"Brother Ge, is that you?"

Ge Xiaoyao heard a voice in the shadows, it was the voice of the Cangmang Fairy Ling Lei. He hurriedly replied, "Ling Lei, it's me. Where is Princess Long?"

With a cold snort, Yan Qiang said, "It's a wonder the gods still remembered me. You came to rescue us, but how did you end up imprisoned here too?"

Ge Xiaoyao gave a bitter smile, realizing he had been tricked by the snow carp spirit. Looking around, he saw solid stone walls all around, with only a sliver of blue sky overhead, letting in a few rays of light. "Enough with the small talk, getting you out of here isn't difficult. Are you alright?"

"It's nothing!" Yan Qiang said coldly.

Unlike Yan Qiang, Ling Lei's heart trembled. She was an orphan, growing up in the Cangmang Mountains. Besides her master and a few friends like Yan Qiang, who had ever cared about her? Now, in her predicament, Ge Xiaoyao's words almost brought tears to her eyes.

"It's nothing, Brother Ge, are you alright too?" Ling Lei's tone softened considerably, filled with deep affection. As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a surge of shame, her face burning hot. Fortunately, the light was dim, so nothing was visible.

Ge Xiaoyao gave Yan Qiang a bitter smile, that feeling of mixed joy and sorrow welling up in his heart again. It was Ling Lei's comforting words that dispelled his unease. He patted the surrounding stone walls, about to speak, when a huge figure blocked the sliver of sky above, followed by a wicked laugh.

"So it's Ge Tianshen, haha... But even if you are a god this time, I won't let you go! I'll let my boys taste how delicious god's flesh is!" the Snow Carp Spirit said arrogantly.

"Snow Carp Spirit! Let us out!" Dragon Girl Yanqiang suddenly perked up and stood up, shouting.

"Hahaha..." Amidst the chattering laughter, there were a few seductive laughs from women. "This Great King has lost interest in you all. Even if you throw yourselves into my arms, I won't want you. Just stay inside obediently! In a little while, I'll capture the Wei River Dragon King, Dragon Queen, and Dragon Prince, and lock them up with you!" the Snow Carp Spirit laughed.

"Despicable! Shameless!" Ling Lei shouted.

"Hmm...this little beauty does have a certain charm! But, I don't have time to waste with you!" He turned to get up, opening a sliver of light, then suddenly turned back, blocking it out. "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, those two beauties have already been poisoned by my fragrance. Are they feeling a little itchy now, wishing someone would touch them...hehe...if the old Dragon King of the Wei River came and saw you doing that, I wonder what his expression would be...By the way, that Dragon Queen seems to be quite a beauty too...hahaha!" The snow carp spirit finished speaking with a strange laugh, then a series of footsteps sounded, and she was already far away.

"Demon! Bastard! Come back...let us out!" Yan Qiang shouted hoarsely, but no one answered her.

"Stop shouting!" Ge Xiaoyao said in a deep voice.

"What? You..." Seeing Ge Xiaoyao's unhurried demeanor, Long Nu Yanqiang became even more agitated, her anger turning against him as she blurted out, "What? Stop shouting! Aren't you a god? How come you're so incompetent? My father treated you with such devotion, and you're just an imposter!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled indifferently; he was indeed an imposter god, and didn't want to argue with her. At this moment, Ling Lei let out a soft cry, her voice low and shy as she said to Long Nu Yanqiang, "Junior sister, I... I really feel a little itchy!"

Yanqiang felt it too; a slight itch began to spread throughout her body, especially in her sensitive and tender areas, where the itching intensified. She desperately wanted to scratch it. Her face flushed, and she stopped shouting, but the quieter she became, the more unbearable the itch became. "Hmm..." Lacking self-control, she groaned, one hand already reaching under her skirt.
