CHAPTER 497: CHAPTER 497 AO QIAN LITTLE LOLITA

A brocade fish scale skirt, hair tied up in a heaven-touching bun.

Three feet three inches tall, bright eyes and a charming look.

A cute little girl that looks about six or seven years old!

"Hiss—"

Lu Zheng drew in a sharp breath, not because of the little girl, but because of the two fluffy short horns on her forehead.

"Dragon!?"

Then, the little girl’s face turned pale, her aura wilted, a black aura emanated from her body, and she swayed slightly.

"Demonic Qi!?"

"I can’t hold on anymore, I need to transform back; only by using the Transformation Technique can I suppress the Demonic Qi."

The little girl wobbled unsteadily, preparing to transform back into a koi fish.

"No need!" Liu Qingyan grabbed the little girl, quickly retrieved an elixir, and placed it into the little girl’s mouth, "Swallow it."

The little girl obediently swallowed it, and Liu Qingyan immediately took out a pack of silver needles, "Be good, it won’t hurt."

The little girl nodded, and then Liu Qingyan inserted thirty-six silver needles, using the Needle Technique to expel the Demonic Qi.

Lu Zheng also came over, placing his hand on the little girl’s back, channeling True Qi to assist Liu Qingyan with the needles.

A moment later...

"This Demonic Qi is so thick, the demon we are dealing with is not ordinary." Lu Zheng frowned, "The Demonic Qi is lodged in the vital organs, can we expel it?"

Liu Qingyan nodded, "It is indeed difficult, I couldn’t do it before."

"Can you do it now?" Lu Zheng was a bit confused.

In martial arts novels, Exotic True Qi can linger in the body for decades, difficult to remove, let alone now in the Xianxia World, judging by the quality of the Demonic Qi, its owner is clearly much more powerful than Liu Qingyan and myself.

How did Liu Qingyan expel it?

"I recently created a Needle Technique using Spirit Medicine as a lead, merging with the patient’s aura, creating an illusion at the tip of the silver needle. It temporarily bursts forth with stronger attraction, enough to redirect the Exotic True Qi’s target, expelling it from the patient’s body."

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded, "What Needle Technique is this?"

"I haven’t named it yet, how about calling it ’Demon-Exorcising Needle Technique’?" Liu Qingyan said.

So casual?

"Sister Fox! You’re amazing!" The little girl felt her body lighten, feeling the silver needles gently touch inside her, leading the Demonic Qi out through the needles directly.

Liu Qingyan smiled proudly at the Needle Technique she had created.

"How did you know she was a fox?" Lu Zheng couldn’t help but ask.

"I saw it!" the little girl said matter-of-factly.

Lu Zheng was bewildered, was this the assessment of a dragon? Seeing through illusions?

"I was born with a pair of Divine Eyes," the little girl smiled mischievously, "able to see through all kinds of disguise and Transformation Technique."

Lu Zheng asked, "Born with Divine Eyes? Don’t all dragons have this ability?"

The little girl nodded, "Of course, otherwise why call them Divine Eyes? They’d be better off as Dragon Eyes."

So that’s how it is, otherwise the Dragon Race would be too mighty.

"But aren’t you a dragon? How come your true form is a koi fish, isn’t it that your actual form is a koi fish that transforms into a dragon?"

The little girl rolled her eyes, a look of "you have no clue," "I am a dragon, actually! The koi fish form is a Transformation Technique taught by my father. I can’t just transform into a dragon in front of mortals, can I?"

Lu Zheng, "..."

Disdain from a little girl!?

Liu Qingyan could not help but chuckle, then twisted the silver needle, stimulating the medicinal power, merging with the little girl’s aura, guiding the Demonic Qi to transfer, surging madly into the silver needle, then rushing out of the body.

The Demonic Qi was tangible, not dissipating in the air, instead gathered into a mass like a black cloud, roiling and rolling.

Lu Zheng cast formations with his hand, sending numerous Flying Cloud Evil-breaking Curse spells into the black cloud.

After all, Demonic Qi is rootless, unlike inside bodies where it can absorb vital essence, thus under dozens of Flying Cloud Evil-breaking Curse attacks, it was finally dispersed, thoroughly eradicated.

"So frightening..."

Lu Zheng raised his brow, such a small cluster of Demonic Qi cloud, surprisingly withstood over thirty of his Flying Cloud Evil-breaking Curse spells.

More importantly, this cluster of Demonic Qi seemingly was not from the Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor.

"Whew—"

With the Demonic Qi removed, the little girl let out a breath, her complexion visibly growing rosy, hugging Liu Qingyan, snuggling her little head against Liu Qingyan’s chest, "Thank you, Sister Fox! You’re really amazing!"

"Hee hee!"

Such a soft little girl, touching her felt nice, Liu Qingyan giggled and hugged her, "What’s your name, how did you get hurt? How did you end up here?"

The little girl trembled at the words, then burst into tears, "Boo hoo... Vice General Xie might be dead! Boo hoo... Vice General Xie sent me in the wrong direction!"

Liu Qingyan hurried to comfort her, "There, there, don’t cry, tell us slow, what happened?"

...

This little girl is named Ao Qian, a descendant of the Ancient Divine Dragon, and currently one of the four orthodox Dragon Races of the East Sea, the Jade Dragon Race, the youngest princess of the current Dragon King, Ao Jin.

Lu Zheng: (⊙o⊙)!!!

Liu Qingyan:

The East Sea is vast and endless, with countless islands, where sea demons hold dominion level positions, the most formidable of which is the Dragon Race.

And the Dragon Race bloodlines go far back, besides branches like Chi Dragon, Coiling Dragon, Kui Dragon, Coiling Dragon, and Coiling Dragon, there are also four orthodox Dragon Races.

Golden Dragon, Jade Dragon, Cyan Dragon, Azure Dragon!

Thus, the status of the contemporary Dragon King of the Jade Dragon Race is evident.

"A few days ago, I was bored and went out to play, my father sent Vice General Xie with me. Just as we left the Jade Dragon Race territory to the sea near the shore, that demon appeared."

Ao Qian pouted, "Vice General Xie couldn’t defeat him, only two moves in he got injured, so while taking another hit, he sent me away accompanied by wind and rain.

Only, that demon also sent a wave of Demonic Qi over, injuring me heavily, so as to transform into an ordinary koi fish, sealing all abnormal powers and illusions, thus suppressing the Demonic Qi."

"I see." Lu Zheng nodded, asking, "What about the direction?"

Ao Qian lowered her head, "Vice General Xie’s true form is a crab, and his sense of direction is usually bad. He intended to send me to the Jade Dragon Race territory, but he mistook the direction and, with the wind and rain, sent me to the middle-lower reaches of the Yi River.

I wanted to return, but it seemed to be too close to that demon, intensifying the Demonic Qi within me, so I dared not return to the East Sea and went upstream. I have been swimming for over half a month."

Just today morning, I was tired and sleeping, accidentally got caught in a fisherman’s net."

Lu Zheng nodded in understanding.

He snatched a great opportunity from that Li Yong.

Li Yong probably will have no connection to cultivation in this life.

This is good; he’ll go back to his studies. In this enigmatic and unpredictable Cultivation Realm, he better not step in.

The water’s too deep, he can’t handle it.

I’ll take over.

Lu Zheng:
