Chapter 534 - Exploring Clear Lotus Peak late at night

Translator: Aran

“You good-for-nothing...”

Ye Qingyu was almost speechless.

The silly dog Little Nine, who had just awakened, was squatting on the ground with an endearingly silly and innocent look, head drooping low, like he had done something wrong.

After awakening, Little Nine’s body was much bigger than before. He was now probably the size of a normal five- or six-year-old puppy, and his forelimbs, which originally looked a bit handicapped and atrophic, seemed to have grown a lot. His originally white fur made him appear endearingly silly and cute, and a handsome dog. Unfortunately, the good-for-nothing dog was mostly burnt, charred, and even unburnt hairs were also fried up. At first glance he was like a stray dog in the street, his nose was crooked, his eyes were crossed, and his tongue hung from the left side of his mouth, as stiff as a rag.

“Before, when you stole other people's stuff, I can barely tolerate it,” Ye Qingyu continued, “Now you even eat my stuff. This is God-level Origin liquid, and also chaotic thunder liquid, you even would risk your life to eat them.”

The silly dog Little Nine now looked as miserable as struck by lightning, because he had secretly drank the chaotic liquid in the [Cloud Top Cauldron] when he woke up.

By the time Ye Qingyu had detected that there were lightning flashing and thunder rolling within the storage space of [Cloud Top Cauldron], he came to discover that this silly dog had already withstood the electric shock and braved the purple-blue lightning to take huge mouthfuls of the chaotic liquid. And before this, it was clear that the good-for-nothing dog had taken advantage of the fact that Ye Qingyu had not noticed to quietly drink over half a jar of God-level Origin liquid.

“Woof woof... just... woke... mouth... thirsty,” the crooked-nosed and crossed eyed dog guiltily explained.

Ye Qingyu roared, “Shut up, I don't believe that you could not tell what that thing was, you clearly secretly ate my stuff... Do you know how many dogs like you I could have bought with what you've eaten?”

“Woof woof.” Silly dog Little Nine lowered his head. On the surface it seemed he was acknowledging his mistake, but deep inside there was an imposing manner that was saying ‘I stole it what can you do about it’.

While this was happening, Old Fish, who had just circled round Little Nine a few times, his crossed eyes were flashing a glimmer of excitement, “My good disciple, your words are not exactly right. Your stuff may not necessarily be able to buy you such a dog.”

Ye Qingyu was taken aback, then immediately realized something, “Old thing, did you notice something?”

All along, Ye Qingyu had not figured out what kind of breed was silly dog Little Nine.

Although that good-for-nothing thing was clearly a dog, but he still possessed many unbelievable abilities——Of course, the most incredible thing was his amazing appetite. He could even instantly swallow a Dragon Ape. Therefore, Ye Qingyu was very curious about the real origin of this good-for-nothing dog.

Old Fish was a knowledgeable person of millions of years ago, his vision and experience was extraordinary, so he must have noticed something.

Ye Qingyu suddenly looked at him expectantly.

Old Fish nodded very surely and said, “Of course, I found something very important.”

“What is it?” Ye Qingyu anxiously asked.

Old Fish very definitely replied, “I found that this dog is not normal.”

“Where is he not normal?”

“You stupid, he swallowed God-level Origin liquid and chaotic thunder liquid, he should have died from electric shock, but now only his nose is a little crooked and his eyes crossed, is that an ordinary dog? You had only fused with a few drops of chaotic thunder liquid, and were electrocuted to the point that you were half dead...” Old Fish pointed to the dog, “Look at it, he has not suffered any injuries. His life force is surging, with abundant blood and qi, I can see that it wouldn’t be long before he fully recovers... Damn it, this dog wouldn’t have fused with the chaotic thunder liquid, right?”

Ye Qingyu, “...”

“So you haven’t figured out his origin and background?” Ye Qingyu fumed.

Old Fish nodded, “No, I’m just curious, this dog is very unusual. Hahaha, if the Thunder and Lightning Emperor knows that half a barrel of his chaotic thunder liquid was drank by a dog like drinking water, and that he remained unharmed, he would surely be shocked as well.”

Ye Qingyu was speechless.

He felt that he was nearly fooled to death by this fish and this dog.

Silly dog Little Nine was made to stand still until midnight as punishment.

“Have you realized your mistake?” Ye Qingyu asked.

“Woof woof, I know,” silly dog Little Nine agreeingly answered.

“Well, it’s good that you realized your mistake, through this punishment, is there anything that you reflected on?” Ye Qingyu continued questioning.

Silly dog Little Nine very honestly replied, “There is.”

“Tell me.”

“Luckily, when I first woke up, I ate something, or just how would I have the strength to stand still as punishment.”

Ye Qingyu, “...”

“Ahahahaha, ahahaha... you’re killing me.” Old Fish was listening in on the conversation in high spirits, and at this time he no longer could hold in his laughter. “The best dog, the best owner, ahahaha... I'm really dying from laughter.”

……

……

Late at night.

A furtive human shadow and a furtive dog’s shadow appeared on Greater One Peak.

As the main peak of Greater One Sect’s Eight Lotus Flower Peaks, and also the important place where the sect master resides, there were a variety of defensive measures on Greater One Peak, countless. In addition to experts keeping watch, there were many formations and a variety of alert facilities. It was clear that this was the most heavily guarded place of Greater One Sect, but this man and his dog, as though they had entered an unmanned territory, through the cover of the dim light of night, had actually avoided all sentry formations, strolled around Greater One Peak, and did a lot of things.

“I didn’t expect that after awakening, your skills in breaking through formations, stealth and thievery, would improve so much. Imitating a dog and stealing chickens is absolutely your natural talent [Note: skilled at thievery].” Ye Qingyu gasped in admiration.

Before tonight, he had already made all sorts of preparations with Old Fish. Ye Qingyu was originally worried about how to set up these formation jade plates to a crucial location in advance. But now, with silly dog Little Nine, all problems seemed to be solved.

Little Nine’s ability had already begun to bloom when they were in Youyan Pass——Once, with Song Xiaojun, they wandered around the Pass Lord Lu Zhaoge’s residence like it was their own back garden.

“I am a dog, stealing chickens is understandable. After all, chicken meat is tender and its skin is crispy and very delicious, but why would I imitate a dog?” Silly dog Little Nine said, deadpan, “Master, your saying is not quite right.”

Ye Qingyu, “...”

“Don’t talk nonsense, hurry up and finish things up, then we can go to Lotus Flower Peak to find Xing'er.” Demon King Ye felt that after wakening, Little Nine’s talent in retorting had upgraded greatly.

“Huh? That girl is also at Clear River Domain too?” Silly dog Little Nine was astounded. “I had long thought that the flirting glances between you two are not normal, you two would not elope from Heaven Wasteland Domain, right? What happened during my long period of sleep? You two wouldn’t have...” Here, his voice began to sound a little regretful. “To tell the truth, Woof likes Song Xiaojun that overbearing and cold girl a little more, but since Master chose the more noble Crown Prince girl, then Woof can reluctantly accept it... But since two you have eloped, the Crown Prince girl won’t have any noble identity. Master, what exactly is your plan?”

Ye Qingyu, without a word, lifted the good-for-nothing dog by the scruff of his neck and covered his mouth.

If he hadn’t took a deep breath and controlled his emotions, Demon King Ye might have wrung the dog’s neck.

Having spent about half an hour to set up tricks all around the important locations of Greater One Peak, Ye Qingyu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Such an arrangement was equal to having a certain backup plan. Even if the Greater One Sect tried to kill him, he didn’t need to worry.

While there was still time, Ye Qingyu and silly dog Little Nine set off in the direction of Clear Lotus Peak.

Before the real Sword Storm meeting, Ye Qingyu must see Yu Xiaoxing first. At least to find out her current situation, and then explain some things to her, so that it would be much easier to cooperate and to prevent any unexpected things happening to Xiaoxing if a battle really started between him and Greater One Sect.

These past few days in Greater One Peak, Ye Qingyu had asked Old Fish to find out the approximate direction and route to Clear Lotus Peak. Under the dim light of night, one dog and one man smoothly passed through a heavy defense and came to the Clear Lotus Peak.

The lotus flower eight-petals peak were not far away from each other.

The shape of Clear Lotus Peak extremely resembled an unbloomed lotus, surrounded by waterfall, like a ribbon of jade cascading down from the vault of Heaven, extremely beautiful. In the night there were thousands of stars sparkling, and Clear Lotus Peak was covered with an aquatic plant called Fragrant Blue Lotus, which was a kind of spiritual plant, which was inherently feminine. For the female disciples that cultivated aquatic cultivation techniques, it had a wondrous use of enhancing the magical power, as well as having the beautiful reputation of ‘Growing out of mud, the lotus blooms pure and untainted’, thus Clear Lotus Peak was also subsequently named.

Among the eight peaks of Greater One Sect, only Clear Lotus Peak was female disciples only.

As soon as Ye Qingyu and silly dog set foot on Clear Lotus Peak, they could already smell a beautiful aroma.

“Woof, master, are you sure we're looking for the Crown Prince girl instead of picking flowers? The time and place is a bit wrong.” The big-headed silly dog twitched his nose, somewhat excited.

Ye Qingyu was speechless.

He found it incredibly hard to speak the same language with the dog now.

The Clear Lotus Peak was too huge.

This lineage, plus the peak master Ji Qionghua, only had around 300 people. After all, in Greater One Sect, males dominated.

But Ye Qingyu and silly dog had wandered around once and had searched the places that they should search, yet still could not find any trace of Yu Xiaoxing.

“How could that be? Could it be that Xing’er had already left Greater One Sect?” Ye Qingyu sounded a bit anxious. “Or could it be, she had already met with an accident?”

Unwilling to accept it, he took the big headed silly dog around to search Clear Lotus Peak once more, yet still came to no success.

“The Crown Prince girl is certainly not here,” the big headed dog stated firmly. “If she was, my nose would have found her within 10 miles... Of course, if you do not mind, Woof can take you around the peak once more, hehe, the colourful clothes I found are quite pretty.”

Ye Qingyu said expressionless, “Aren’t those half-naked female disciples more pretty?”

Big headed silly dog suddenly very excitedly exclaimed, “Master you also think so? Woof thought that only Woof felt they’re pretty.”

“Get lost,” Ye Qingyu roared. “We came to find someone, not to be a pervert.”

He left Clear Lotus Peak with the silly dog.

If he stayed any longer, he would directly be confirmed as a perverted demon, without anybody else framing him,

Since Yu Xiaoxing was not on Clear Lotus Peak, then Ye Qingyu’s top priority was to find this girl. Also... some plans needed to be changed.
