Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 1308: Convincing the Enemy into Retreat

“Gu Yanying, do you think you can swagger around in front of me just because you obtained a random feather?”

When the Heaven-stirring’s feather landed in the nine provinces, Su Mirao was basically the first one to discover it, except she was not an avian. Even if she obtained it, it would not be of great value to her. It might even lead to a great struggle, which was not worth it at all.

Gu Yanying bowed politely. “I’m not your opponent.”

Su Mirao said maliciously, “If I wanted to, I can make you call me mother!”

The Guardian Hawk God was like a feather, thrown around uncontrollably in the chaos. Even though he had not rushed over to her aid, that was only because she had never truly paid any attention to him.

The invisible bewitchment also crushed them with absolute strength. Even the Human Sovereign, Si Long, was not immune to it, while Li Qingshan had almost fallen for it too, let alone a male Daemon King.

She only needed a single order to make a family tragedy play out.

Gu Yanying smiled. “If my good-for-nothing of a father can actually catch your eye, that’s obviously my honour. Calling you mother would go without saying. It’s basically no different from stepmother.”

Su Mirao felt like she had just made a fool out of herself. She felt vexed.

She understood Gu Yanying’s past extremely well, as she had once been collectible that she had decided on in the past. She was ready to strike as soon as she underwent the third heavenly tribulation. However, Li Qingshan appeared out of nowhere in the end. Their ties gradually deepened, and she was reluctant to become involved with Li Qingshan back then, which was why she gave up resolutely.

Gu Yanying cared about and cherished her mother far more than anyone else. Originally, Su Mirao thought she could definitely infuriate her with this soft spot and increase her bewitching influence on her. She never expected a reply like that, which instead made her feel like she was the one losing out in this exchange.

She sneered. “I never thought you’d end up in such a sorry state even with your disposition, risking your life for a man.”

Gu Yanying said, “Sigh, don’t tell me the only thing that exists in your eyes is love between a man and a woman?”

Su Mirao questioned, “Are you bold enough to say you’ve never fallen in love before?”

With swish, Gu Yanying opened her folding fan and covered the lower half of her face. That was clearly a posture that a woman took when they were embarrassed, yet she still seemed extremely graceful and at ease. She smiled. “People aren’t plants. How can they not have feelings?”

A strange light flashed across Su Mirao’s eyes. “Alright, no wonder that Li Qingshan would fall in love with you at first sight yet never be able to obtain you. You will be one of the best additions to my collection. Come!”

Gu Yanying shook her head with a smile. “I don’t want to be part of some collection, nor do I want to clash with you. I only want to bring your attention to something.”

“Oh?”

“You’re a mighty fox of Yousu, an existence that can bewitch all living creatures, yet you’ve stooped to the level where you have to fight and kill yourself. Don’t you find that a little unbefitting?”

“Sigh, I don’t have any other choice about this. Who can help the fact that these stinky men are so disobedient? And the fact that a woman as clever as you just refuses to come to your senses?”

Su Mirao sighed helplessly. She even blinked her eyes innocently, such that Gu Yanying almost believed her. She completely relied on the hot winds of hell to maintain a wisp of clarity.

“Even if you get what you want from this battle, the women in the Jade palace will probably all perish.”

Gu Yanying pointed at the chaos with her folding fan. A tornado opened a path, only to see the five-clawed golden dragon gradually ripping away at the spirit turtle’s shell.

But underneath the spirit turtle, the Lightning Shadow Panther King held on bitterly.

Even when Li Qingshan went from the tiger demon to the spirit turtle, he had not spared her. Instead, he suppressed her with everything that he had, planning to use her to exchange with Su Mirao for Shen Mengdie. In the end, Shen Mengdie was saved by Gu Yanying, so he simply used her as a meat cushion, letting her share some of the pressure from the golden dragon.

The Lightning Shadow Panther King was a renowned Daemon King as well, but how could she compare to the current Li Qingshan? Even with her full strength, she could not escape from the spirit turtle. There was even a golden dragon on top. She had been directly crushed until her organs ruptured and blood gushed out of her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. It was all thanks to her tough body that she had not been crushed to death, but if this continued, she could not hold on for much longer either.

Xiao An watched over him on the side, blocking the attacks of the other Daemon Kings. Earlier, just the string of Skull Prayer Beads were enough to stop them, so now that she handled it personally, ringing the Soul Stirring Bell and unfurling the Blood Sea Banner, she had already captured several Daemon Kings.

“Gu Yanying, do you think I’ll be threatened by that? Every single one of them is willing to die for me.” Su Mirao squinted her eyes and gave off a dangerous aura.

“No one doubts their devotion towards you, but if you just neglect their fates, how are you any different from those stinky men? Even the despicable, dirty, promiscuous, and heartless Li Qingshan would never do something like that.”

Gu Yanying gazed deeply at Su Mirao. Her eyes were filled with trust, as well as a hint of worry.

For a moment, Su Mirao was left speechless. She gritted her teeth. “What a clever tongue. With what you’ve said, if I don’t admit defeat, I’ll basically turn into an ugly, foolish, contemptible, and heartless woman who’s not even as great as those stinky men!”

“You’re obviously not that kind of woman,” Gu Yanying said earnestly, without any insincerity.

Su Mirao hesitated. “Alright then! Li Qingshan, I order you to let go of my Ying’er. I will no longer oppose you.”

“Mirao, you don’t have to worry about me! Do whatever you want to do!” the Lightning Shadow Panther King said with difficulty.

Regardless of whether she had been bewitched in the very beginning or not, it had already become her true intentions. As long as she could earn a smile from her, even sacrificing herself was worth it.

Ying’er!

Su Mirao sighed inside. She recalled what Gu Yanying had just said, “People aren’t plants. How can they not have feelings?”

Even if she had a heart of steel, her several thousand years of companionship and unconditional devotion was enough to leave behind a deep mark in her. Everything that occurred between them was visible right before her eyes. Did she really have the heart to see them all perish here?

She could not help but look at the skies. “Lord of the kingdom, this place is far too lonely. Is this also a part of your scheme?”

“Can I call you by your name too? Mirao, it’s far too noisy here. Why don’t we go to the East sea for a stroll? I’m very furious about the Kingdom of Green Hills. Let’s let the men deal with their own problems!”

Gu Yanying extended her hand towards Su Mirao. They had to cross through three provinces to reach the east sea from here, a journey of a hundred thousand kilometres. Under the restraints from the laws of the world, it was impossible for her to return quickly. That was the only idea she could think of now.

Su Mirao understood that Li Qingshan would never be at ease as long as she was still around. Perhaps right from the moment he broke free from her bewitchment, she had lost. It truly was pointless if they continued like this, but she simply refused to accept this.

“Si Long, you cannot blame me for being vicious. I’m bound by the Blood Oath of the Nether River, forced to marry this man. I originally wanted to deal with this personally, but I never expected everything to fall through in the end. I can only hope that you can free me, so we can continue with what we had before!”

Hearing that, Si Long was greatly revitalised, like a hero who had defeated all the demon kings receiving the encouragement of his “true love”. The golden dragon bit down viciously on the turtle shell.

Li Qingshan cursed aloud, “This fucking idiot emperor cuckold!” However, he eased up inside.

Su Mirao smiled craftily and grabbed Gu Yanying’s hand. “Yanying, you better accompany me well!”

At that instant, the kunpeng spread its wings and soared off.
