"Ugly, it's you again!" The few of them had just landed on top of the whirlpool when the voice sounded again, as if it had sensed something. Compared to the mischievous voice from before, there was real anger in it this time. In an instant, a column of water rushed towards Ying Zhi. "You liar, how dare you come over!"
Ying Zhi seemed to be used to it. With a wave of his hand, a defensive array appeared and blocked the column of water. Unfortunately, it was not over. Huge waves in the shape of fish tails appeared on the surface of the sea. Wave after wave, they began to attack indiscriminately.
"Scram, you stupid liar!"
Ying Zhi looked at the immortals who had been trying to persuade them. Now, they had all fallen into the water. Ying Zhi looked at the crowd apologetically. She had no choice but to retreat a few miles away. Only then did the waves on the sea stop.
"Celestial Emperor Ying Zhi, why did the Cloud Beast do this?" Chen Ge asked in a low voice. It was obvious that the attack had been aimed at Ying Zhi. However, the Cloud Beast was supposed to be his contracted immortal beast, so it shouldn't have attacked him.
"This …" Ying Zhi's expression changed. He did not know how to explain. After a while, he said, "This is a misunderstanding." With that, he subconsciously looked in Lan Hua's direction. His eyes seemed to be filled with resentment and some grievance. Lan Hua felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Let me explain!" Lan Yu saw that he really could not speak. With a sigh, he told him everything that had happened between the Cloud Beast and Ying Zhi.
The Cloud Sea was different from the other three seas and six continents. Because of the special environment, anyone who could become the emperor of the Cloud Sea not only had to be a Celestial Emperor, but also had to be recognized by the Cloud Beast. After all, the Cloud Beast was the Cloud Sea. If one wanted to live here, one had to get a property certificate. The contract with the Cloud Beast was equivalent to the property certificate of the sea.
Only one Cloud Beast was born every few million years. When it matured, it would be as powerful as a Celestial Emperor. When Ying Zhi first started cultivating, there were no new Cloud Beasts in the Cloud Sea. Although they did not interact with the other continents, it was not as strict as it was now. Although Ying Zhi's original form was also of the water race, before he became a Celestial Emperor, he had always been by Lan Yu's side in his human form, so everyone thought that he was a celestial being. Even now, the other continents thought that the Celestial Emperor of the Cloud Sea was a human cultivator and not a demon immortal. In addition, the Cloud Pool and the Cloud Sea were very close to each other, so most of the Cloud Sea floated above the Cloud Pool Continent.
Aquatic creatures naturally liked to stay close to water sources, so it was only natural that Ying Zhi would often run from Yunze to Yunhai to cultivate. Over time, he became familiar with the demon immortals of the Cloud Sea. Later on, when he was the first to ascend to the Celestial Emperor Realm and took over the entire Cloud Sea, he did not encounter any obstruction or opposition.
After the Cloud Beast appeared, Xiao Chen thought that he would have to spend some time to gain the Cloud Beast's recognition or fight it directly. He would either become a true Sovereign Emperor or be eaten by the Cloud Beast. Surprisingly, the Cloud Beast was very satisfied with him the first time they met, and it even took the initiative to form a contract with him. As a result, he became the Cloud Sea Sovereign King.
It could be said that among the ten Celestial Emperors, he was the person who ascended to the position of Celestial Monarch the easiest. After a few thousand years, perhaps even the heavens felt that they would be letting the others down if they didn't give them some suffering. As the Cloud Beast grew up and became more and more intelligent, it suddenly turned hostile!
"You ugly liar! To think that I thought you were a beautiful lady back then. It turns out that it was all a lie. " The Cloud Beast's childish voice could be heard from afar. "How dare you lie to my pure feelings! Hmph! I don't want to acknowledge you, you ugly thing. I want to leave this place and find other beautiful ladies! "
"Mm, that's what happened!" Lan Yu said in a low voice.
At once, the four of them turned to look at the culprit behind them …
"Why are you looking at me? I wasn't the one who asked him to wear female clothes! "Lan Hua blushed and exploded. The Cloud Beast mistook me for someone else?
Lonemoon: "…"
Yi Qing: "…"
Chen Ge: "…"
Shen Ying: "…"
So the Cloud Beast was so happy to form a contract with Ying Zhi back then because it mistook him for a woman. Speaking of which … was it a common problem for incarnation-type spirit creatures to only look at one's appearance?
What's more, the Cloud Beast actually took thousands of years to realize that Ying Zhi was a man. Was it too slow to react, or was Ying Zhi too good at acting?
"The Cloud Beast is still immature. It has the temperament of a child." Celestial Emperor Ying Zhi sighed, looking like he was having a headache. "It threw a tantrum and I couldn't do anything about it. The more we tried to stop it, the more it wanted to go out. It insisted on going out to find a young lady. "
"Since it's just throwing a tantrum, can't we just find a female immortal to coax it? Why does it have to go out of the Cloud Sea? " The Cloud Beast probably only wanted to find a pretty young lady to form a contract with. It suddenly realized that Ying Zhi was a man and threw a tantrum because it couldn't accept it. It could just find a real female immortal to coax it. Anyway, it was still immature. As long as it didn't go out of the Cloud Sea, it wouldn't cause any trouble.
"We tried that method …" Ying Zhi's expression darkened. "But after the Cloud Beast threw a tantrum, its real body hid in the Crystal Palace in the deepest part of the Cloud Sea. It wanted to break through the Cloud Sea and escape. Usually, it would only create an avatar to come out of the water to cause trouble. To enter the Crystal Palace, one has to be an Exalted Immortal. "
So that was it. No wonder the Cloud Beast did not come out despite the waves. Its real body was at the bottom of the sea.
"All the Exalted Immortal demon immortals in the Cloud Sea tried to persuade it," Ying Zhi continued. "But they were all chased out."
"Why?"
Ying Zhi's mouth twitched. "It said … they were ugly."
Everyone: "…"
Lonemoon subconsciously looked up at Ying Zhi's face. To be honest, if one ignored some of his masculine features, Ying Zhi's face could really be described as stunning. What's more, Ying Zhi's eyes were more feminine, and he was dressed in female clothes. It was no wonder that the Cloud Beast would despise other female immortals for being ugly.
"There was no one left in the Cloud Sea. I had no choice but to remove the restrictions on the Cloud Sea. I wanted to invite all the female immortals in the world to come and give it a try." Ying Zhi frowned. "The immortals of the Cloud Sea have never interacted with other continents in the past. It was not easy for some of them to come and give it a try. Not only were they all male immortals, but they all had ulterior motives. It was very annoying. "
Was that why he set up that sign at the Heavenly Gates?
"That's why this matter has not been resolved." Ying Zhi frowned deeply. He was about to ask the few of them if they knew any female Exalted Immortals that they were familiar with.
Shen Ying, who had been chewing on a fruit, suddenly spoke up. "Why don't I try?" She was quite experienced in teaching naughty children.
"You?" The moment she finished speaking, Lonemoon started to mock her out of habit. "Forget it! Didn't Celestial Emperor Ying Zhi say it already? The Cloud Beast has high standards for looks! "
Shen Ying tilted her head. "Am I not good-looking?"
Lonemoon rolled his eyes and turned to look at her face. "Are you good-looking or not? Don't you have a …"
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes were fixed on the familiar yet strange face in front of him. His voice seemed to be stuck in his throat. This was the first time he was looking at her face in such a way. From a man's point of view.
She seemed … pretty!
