To Charcoal, it was impossible for Miao Yi to become the Divine Sovereign so quickly. He instinctively thought that there was something wrong with this old man and that he was fooling him.
It could be said that without saying a word, he directly punched Fu Qing's face. He attacked without saying a word.
Attacking at such a close distance, how was this any different from a sneak attack? Fu Qing was shocked. He didn't expect Miao Yi to ask him to deal with such an idiot. He wasn't one to sit and wait for his death, so he threw a punch as well.
The moment their fists collided, Fu Qing knew something was wrong. With a loud bang, the sound of his arm snapping could be heard. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
He was sent flying a few miles away before stopping in mid-air.
Fu Qing's eyes were filled with shock. His original form was a green-backed ape with an ancient bloodline. After cultivating for so long, his bloodline had been activated. Although his cultivation wasn't too high, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. His bones were as hard as diamond, his flesh was thick and resilient, and he excelled in strength. Although he was only at Lotus Transformation Third Grade, he could fight against any cultivator below the Prominent Divine Stage in a head-on battle. However, his arm was broken by a single punch from his opponent, and he was heavily injured.
It wouldn't have mattered if his opponent's cultivation was high, but the Transcendence Art on his brow showed that he was only at Lotus Transformation Fifth Grade, which was only two grades higher than him. Logically speaking, with his awakened bloodline talent, he shouldn't be a match for him in a head-on battle, let alone injure him. However, he could clearly feel that this Lotus Transformation Fifth Grade guy's attack power was no less than a Prominent Divine Stage cultivator's. He was also a cultivator with a strength talent, and seemed to be even more talented than him.
Defeating his opponent with a single punch, Charcoal was extremely excited. His fighting spirit skyrocketed as he shouted, "Old bastard, surrender now!" Even though he said that, it was obvious he wanted to continue fighting. He was prepared to capture Fu Qing and ask for Miao Yi's reward.
However, halfway through his charge, he was dumbfounded. His eyes widened, and he came to an emergency stop.
Fu Qing waved his hand, and tens of thousands of troops appeared around him. Tens of thousands of Transcendence Bow were drawn and aimed at Charcoal. Among them, there were obviously several Sixth Grade Transcendence Bows.
Miao Yi's trusted subordinates were naturally well-equipped.
"Old thing, don't you have any shame?" Charcoal's expression twitched as he let out a strange cry.
"Bah!" Fu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood. He had the urge to order an attack, but when he remembered that Miao Yi was the one who had asked him to come pick him up, he suppressed the urge. He grabbed the Starbell with one hand and contacted Miao Yi to ask him what was going on.
Soon, Charcoal also received Miao Yi's Starbell transmission. His face fell as he put away the Starbell. He raised his hands and said innocently, "Fu Qing, it's a misunderstanding!"
"Tie him up!" Fu Qing shouted.
Immediately, a few people rushed over. Two Grade Six Immortal Binding Ropes and more than ten Grade Five Immortal Binding Ropes tied Charcoal up like a dumpling. They brought him back and smashed him at Fu Qing's feet.
Bang, bang, bang! After stuffing a stalk of the Glorious Star immortal herb into his mouth, Fu Qing went up and ruthlessly kicked Miao Yi a few times. Miao Yi had asked him to beat him back, as long as he didn't kill him.
"Fu Qing, it's a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding!" Charcoal cried out miserably. He didn't think that he would encounter such misfortune as soon as he left the Primordial Era.
Fu Qing didn't care if it was a misunderstanding or not. He gave Charcoal a few more kicks to vent his anger before putting him away. After gathering his forces, he quickly took to the skies.
At the Southern Army Heavenly King's manor, Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu stood side by side as they watched Fu Qing enter the manor.
Yun Zhiqiu smiled at Qian'Er and Xue'Er beside her and said, "It's been so many years since we last met. I still miss that Charcoal kid. He's just a little mischievous, but he's actually quite a nice person." She then glanced at Miao Yi, who had a dark expression on his face, as if she was speaking up for Charcoal.
She knew about the situation as well. Initially, she had asked Fu Qing to secretly bring Charcoal over. However, that bastard Charcoal suddenly made a move, forcing Fu Qing to mobilize his forces to protect himself. Even the guards at the gates of the Primordial Wastelands had seen it. How could he possibly keep it a secret?
Qian'Er and Xue'Er smiled and nodded.
More than twenty thousand years ago, when Charcoal first gained his human form, Miao Yi had brought Charcoal and the Empyrean Maiden out to avoid the Celestial Court's purge of the Evil Spirits in the Primordial Wastelands.
Not long after, Yang Zhaoqing led Fu Qing to the loft.
Fu Qing tossed Charcoal, who was tied up like a dumpling, out, then cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, Your Highness."
At this point, he wouldn't bring up the so-called 'Old Fifth' and 'Fifth Brother' anymore. He would just pretend that nothing had ever happened. If he still harbored any thoughts about the previous swearing of brotherhood, then he would be a fool.
'Your Highness? Your Highness? ' Lying on the ground, Charcoal's eyes darted around as he stared at the two of them. Soon after, a look of fear surfaced in his eyes.
Miao Yi slowly walked up to him, then raised his leg and kicked him violently, causing Charcoal to cry out in pain. "Madam, save me! Your Highness, save me!"
Not only was Miao Yi angry, but he was also beating Charcoal up for Fu Qing to see.
After a while, Yun Zhiqiu couldn't bear to watch any longer. She felt that Miao Yi was being a little too ruthless, and her heart ached a little. After all, Charcoal had been Miao Yi's steed since he first started his career. Back then, Charcoal would often take her for a ride as well. When Miao Yi wasn't by her side, the dragon steed dozing by the door was like her little pet. How could she continue beating him up like this? She immediately said, "He's just that naughty and mischievous.
You just need to teach him a lesson. "However, that wasn't the case for Miao Yi. He knew Charcoal's personality better than anyone else. This bastard was itching for a beating. If he didn't learn his lesson, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause. Only by beating him up would he learn his lesson.
Yun Zhiqiu immediately turned to Fu Qing and said, "Second Brother, you know this person as well. He's His Highness' dragon steed in the small world, Charcoal!"
'Charcoal?' Fu Qing was taken aback. 'This Charcoal can already transform into a human, and he's still so strong?'
He quickly understood what Yun Zhiqiu was trying to get him to relent. He immediately stepped forward to stop Miao Yi and cupped his fists, saying, "Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding."
Miao Yi pointed at the whimpering Charcoal and scolded, "You like hitting me a lot, don't you? If you act so presumptuously again, I'll chop off your claws. "
"I won't dare." Charcoal sobbed. His face was swollen from the beating, and his nose and mouth were bleeding.
Fu Qing immediately turned around and untied him, then took his leave, saying, "If Your Highness and Her Highness have no further instructions, I will take my leave now."
Yun Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Second Brother, since you're already here, why don't you stay for a few more days before you leave?"
Fu Qing replied, "I still have a lot of things to take care of." At his level, he was already considered superior to the others to be able to enter and leave the manor. It would be a little too much for him to stay and play for no reason.
"Thank you." Miao Yi gestured with his hand. Yang Zhaoqing immediately extended his hand and personally sent Fu Qing off.
Charcoal curled up on the ground, not daring to move.
Yun Zhiqiu walked over and crouched down beside him, then jabbed him on the forehead and said, "Well done! Who told you to use violence at the first sign of disagreement? You didn't even get to the bottom of the situation. You're lucky you ran into someone on our side. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have shown you any mercy. Stop pretending to be dead. Get up! "
Charcoal stood up and meekly hid behind Yun Zhiqiu, as if he was trying to avoid Miao Yi's gaze.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er giggled. It wasn't the first time they'd seen Charcoal get beaten up. They'd often seen this scene back in the small world.
"Alright, don't be angry." Yun Zhiqiu pushed Miao Yi's shoulder.
Miao Yi pushed her to the side, then stared at Charcoal and asked, "Did you bring the items?"
Charcoal nodded repeatedly, then took out a few storage bangles and presented them to Miao Yi. "The fire spirits have already retrieved everything from the lava in the Eternal Celestial Valley. They're all here."
The reason he was able to come out this time was because he'd been contacting Yun Zhiqiu with Xing Ling every now and then. Yun Zhiqiu also felt sorry for him after being locked up in the Primordial Wastelands for so long, so she spoke up for him. She still had some influence over Miao Yi. Next was the wealth in the Eternal Celestial Valley. When the opportunity presented itself, Miao Yi would naturally take it out to prevent others from benefiting from it in the future. He planned to use this wealth to nurture the troops of the Purgatory.
Miao Yi tilted his head at Yun Zhiqiu and gestured for her to take care of this matter.
Yun Zhiqiu took the storage bangles and examined them. Her eyes were already glowing, and she couldn't stop clicking her tongue. She then said to Charcoal, "Haven't you had enough? Come with me. Don't stay here and be an eyesore. "
Charcoal shrunk his head and avoided Miao Yi's gaze, then hurriedly ran after her.
Not long after, Charcoal's fawning voice came from the lower level of the loft. "Madam, how did you become a Princess?"
"What? Do you think I'm not worthy? "
"Of course not. I was wondering why I thought Madam had become prettier. So it's because you've become a Princess."
Yun Zhiqiu's overjoyed voice could be heard. "So you're saying that I'm not pretty because I'm a Princess? If you don't know how to flatter me, then don't. "
"No, no. Madam has always been the most beautiful woman in the world. If anyone dares to say they're prettier than Madam, I'll immediately chop them into minced meat. I'm not trying to flatter you. I mean what I say!"
"Hehe!" Qian'Er and Xue'Er laughed.
"Qian'Er, Xue'Er. You two are becoming more and more beautiful. Other than Madam, you two are the most beautiful."
Miao Yi heard everything clearly from above. His expression darkened, thinking, 'They're even more shameless than Xu Tangran.'
After sending Fu Qing off, Yang Zhaoqing returned to the loft. Seeing Miao Yi's tense expression, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is indeed a misunderstanding. Charcoal has been in the Ancient Barren Pass for so many years. It's understandable that he doesn't know what's going on here."
"I'm just worried about this guy's personality. He'll easily stir up trouble if he comes out. If it weren't for Madam's constant nagging, it would be best if he stayed in the Ancient Barren Pass to cultivate." Miao Yi paused for a moment, then pointed downwards and continued, "Look. Look. It's all because of these women's bad habits!"
Yang Zhaoqing looked down and saw Charcoal wandering around the vast manor like a curious baby. The Princess Consort was personally accompanying him with Qian'Er and Xue'Er, chatting and laughing along the way. Yang Zhaoqing couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Her Highness is someone who knows her limits. If she tells Charcoal to go east, he won't dare to go west. Charcoal also listens to her the most. Her Highness has plenty of ways to keep Charcoal in check. Perhaps they're even more effective than Your Highness's fists and kicks. Besides, with Your Highness watching over him, there shouldn't be any problems. As long as Her Highness is happy, everything will be fine … Many people are about to move into this empty manor. Her Highness is actually feeling bitter about it. No woman is truly willing. Why don't Your Highness just turn a blind eye to these small matters? "
