“I just request that you take it back quickly,” Blooming Flowering Tree said as it let out a long sigh.

He had no interest in ruling the Canglan Continent and hoped that these tainted matters would be finished early so that his Secondary Soul could return to a life of pleasure!

“Let’s go!” Yun Jiuge raised her slender hand in an icy manner. Her wide sleeve cuffs hung down and a gold fine line radiated with a faint light, like a fish swimming in the flow.

Blooming Flowering Tree humbly held Yun Jiuge’s fingers and appeared side by side with her on top of the Demon Forest.

“Goddess!” The guests cheered when they saw Yun Jiuge come out.

Yun Jiuge lifted her hands and a golden Spiritual Energy shone all around, with a powerful aura unique to a divine being.

Everyone present became deferentially still at once while secretly muttering in their minds the previous outright false rumors. What was all the talk about instability of the Goddess’s Holy Essence? Was she not impressive enough now?

Yun Jiuge waited for everyone to calm down before she announced her earlier decision to give the Celestial Palace position to Blooming Flowering Tree.

The crowd was shocked at first. Next, buzzing sounds of chatter rose like a tide. If Blooming Flowering Tree had not stood next to Yun Jiuge, he might have been immediately killed by the angry crowd.

“Your Highness, why don’t I return to the Celestial Palace with you tomorrow?” Blooming Flowering Tree looked at the angry crowd and only felt fear. Chills ran down his spine.

“If you go back with me, how are we going to lure the killers out?” Yun Jiuge said without expression.

“I’m really going to die if I stay here.” Blooming Flowering Tree’s outpour of his suffering was about to gush out.

“My extensive preparation must eventually pay off. It’s time for you to perform now when you’ve been free and unfettered for 1,000 years,” said Yun Jiuge, giving Blooming Flowering Tree a sideways glance.

She deliberately took Blooming Flowering Tree out before her reincarnation to let him hone his strength to start war for her.

“Your Highness, I’ve to be alive to show my performance!” Blooming Flowering Tree looked pained and sighed in despair, rambling about how it was not easy to be a servant. If he had known at the time, he would have also followed her to reincarnate and not have to face this bad situation…

“I’ll give you 10 more Seven Star Fruits,” said Yun Jiuge, wanting to silence Blooming Flowering Tree’s prattling voice.

“15.” Blooming Flowering Tree immediately increased his condition.

“Take it or leave it.” Yun Jiuge was determined not to give way.

“It’s a deal.” Blooming Flowering Tree perked up at once and fell to the ground, revealing the hypocritical expression of a small man’s ambition accomplished. He began to greet the guests.

When Yun Jiuge saw that Blooming Flowering Tree was coping very well, she then returned to the cave dwelling where Zi Shang was.

Once she was inside, she saw that the pool only had two halves of an eggshell left. It was empty inside as well.

“Zi Shang!” Yun Jiuge’s wits almost left her.

She hurriedly calculated Zi Shang’s whereabouts and found him in the Misty Valley of the Blooming Soul Sea. She immediately rushed over.

In the Misty Valley, a small black dragon as thick as an arm was hiding in the mud, completely still.

He was surrounded by countless dark shadow assassins, who were carrying out a carpet search at the moment.

“Emperor Zi Shang, our master has sincerely invited you to visit as a guest and hopes that you will do him the honor by making the trip back with me!”

“Stop hiding. We’ve already spotted you. If you give in obediently, we’ll politely invite you over. Or else, don’t blame us for being rude.”

“Don’t you want to know who’s looking for you?” Faintly discernible voices rang out in the Misty Valley, as if several people were urging Zi Shang at the same time.

But Zi Shang was well aware that these were just illusions that wanted to lure him out.

“Ha-ha, I found you.” A pair of large footprints appeared in front of Zi Shang. The boulder above his head was overturned. Once he lost his cover, he appeared in front of the dark shadow.

The dark shadow was only a fuzzy human shape. His features were indiscernible and looked like a puppet at a glance.

“Tsk, tsk, look what I’ve found. Isn’t this the extraordinary martial looking Emperor Zi Shang? How did he become a poor, black mud fish?” The dark shadow let out a carefree loud voice and lifted his foot to step on Zi Shang.

The originally motionless Zi Shang suddenly leapt and brushed past the face of the dark shadow. His small dragon claws caught something.

“Damn it.” The dark shadow got worked up and was furious. Countless black lights came on in a flash, turning into a giant net which closed in on Zi Shang’s head.

Zi Shang’s figure ducked out of the way repeatedly. Although he evaded the attack of the huge net, he was accidentally struck in the chest by a dark shadow and crashed to the ground.

“Little mud fish, just come with us quietly!” The dark shadow puppet extended its claws to grab Zi Shang but was pierced by a golden light.

Yun Jiuge finally rushed over and saw Zi Shang under attack. She indignantly summoned the Lightning Fire Needle. Countless golden beams pierced through the dark shadow puppets and burned them to cinders.

The puppet leader burst into spontaneous combustion and perished the moment he saw Yun Jiuge appear.

“Zi Shang, are you alright?” Yun Jiuge rushed to Zi Shang, wanting to scoop him up.

“I’m fine.” Zi Shang shook his head and flew up from the ground to go to Yun Jiuge. Then he showed her the object that was in his claws.

It was a black colored Magic Talisman with bits of red colored Runes.

“What is this?” Yun Jiuge asked incredulously.

“I grabbed it from that dark shadow’s face.” Zi Shang cast an Energy Barrier and sealed this object up, ready to go back to study it well.

“How did they break in?” Compared to the Magic Talisman, Yun Jiuge was more concerned about Zi Shang’s condition.

“I don’t know. I was just resting inside the pool when the Energy Barrier suddenly cracked. Next, those dark shadows rushed in,” said Zi Shang, who was also very frustrated. If he could continue to rest well, he would only need a week to return to his peak form.

He did not expect to be forced to break out of the shell ahead of time by those dark shadow assassins. His current dragon body was smaller than his son’s. It was utterly humiliating.

“I’m glad you’re fine.” Yun Jiuge stuck out her index finger to stroke Zi Shang’s head. Seeing his look of chagrin, she had to comfort him by saying, “It’s okay. You’re so adorable this way. Long’er will be incredibly happy to see you.”

“This is no comfort at all,” answered Zi Shang, who was annoyed. He’d rather be dead than let his son see him in such a disgraceful state.

Yun Jiuge suppressed her smile and tried to put on a normal expression as she said, “Let’s go back. Maybe you can grow bigger by soaking a little longer.”

“Let’s go.” With a whip of Zi Shang’s tail, they swiftly returned to Blooming Flowering Tree’s cave dwelling.

The white eggshells were still soaking in the Spiritual Pool with the Spiritual Flower Pearls inside.

Zi Shang jumped into the water and first gnawed on the broken halves of the eggshell. Then he gobbled up the rest of the Spiritual Flower Pearls and Spiritual Water. His stomach bulged while he lay slump at the bottom of the pool, not able to move.

“You’ll be fine when I get Blooming Flowering Tree to give you some more later. There’s no need to try so hard.” Yun Jiuge reached out to poke at Zi Shang’s round belly.

“Don’t move.” Zi Shang touchily swatted Yun Jiuge’s fingers away.

He ate too much and was going to spray out the water if he were to be poked at again.

“Are you going to just lie here the whole time?” Yun Jiuge lay on the edge of the pool to watch Zi Shang.

Zi Shang’s current body was only the width of an adult’s arm. His black scales gleamed and shone while the horns on his head had two little forks.

“Of course not, call Blooming Flowering Tree over and show him the Magic Talisman to find out who made it.” Zi Shang stood up from the bottom of the pool. He must capture the mastermind behind the scenes to help avenge his daughter-in-law and son.
