PS: Third Night Explosion, dedicated to 'Counterattack Cover'. I've finally settled one of my worries, and also asked for some monthly votes!
In an instant, the surface of the lake outside was like a raging sea. Cries of alarm could be heard from the flower boat in the distance.
The small boat that Tian Qingfeng and the others were on looked like a lone boat on the vast ocean, about to capsize at any moment. Tian Qingfeng and the other twenty or so people worked together to suppress the boat, but they couldn't stabilize it. With the two people before them being whipped to death by the white veil hanging from the boat, they didn't dare to jump onto the boat. Their expressions changed drastically.
Miao Yi looked around. The boat beneath his feet remained unmoved amidst the rolling waves. It was extremely steady.
Two red beams shot down from the sky towards the boat below.
However, just as they approached the boat, two huge water dragons suddenly emerged from the waves on the left and right. They were crystal clear, and quickly rose into the sky, pouncing towards the two people who were trying to land on the boat.
The two people in the sky stopped in their tracks when they saw the water dragons soaring into the sky. They raised their arms in unison, and the light enveloping their bodies quickly condensed into two red transcendent artifacts. They flew out of their hands and smashed towards the incoming dragon heads.
Boom boom!
The two water dragons opened their mouths and swallowed the two transcendent artifacts into their stomachs. The two Third Grade Transcendent Artifacts were locked in their stomachs, and couldn't move at all. Then, they charged towards the two people.
The two people in the sky were shocked. They quickly dodged to the side, barely avoiding the dragon heads' attack. However, they were struck by the two water dragons' divine dragon tails that came out of nowhere.
They spat out two mouthfuls of blood towards the sky, and were sent flying a hundred meters away before coming to a stop.
The two people in the sky held their hands to their chests. Each had a Red Lotus Fifth Grade mark on their foreheads. Before they could even see the appearance of the person on the boat, they were already heavily injured.
The two people knew that the difference in strength between them was too great. They were no match for the other party. They shouted in unison, "Let's go!"
They quickly turned around and flew away.
The two water dragons hovering above the flower boat suddenly exploded into a shower of splashes, falling onto the surface of the lake. Miao Yi was so shocked that he quickly retracted his head back.
The two confiscated transcendent artifacts flew back into the boat. Xiao Xiao, who was still lying on Luo Shuangfei's lap with his eyes closed, waved his sleeves and easily stored the two Third Grade Transcendent Artifacts into his sleeves.
The surging blue waves in the surroundings gradually calmed down after the violent ripples. Turning around, Miao Yi sucked in a breath of cold air. He stared at the woman lying on Luo Shuangfei's lap in disbelief. 'Is this the same charming woman who sang and danced before?'
He knew that this woman was powerful, but he didn't expect her to be this powerful. She hadn't even moved much, yet with a wave of her hand, she was able to injure two Red Lotus experts and snatch away two of their Third Grade Transcendent Artifacts. Just how terrifying was this woman's cultivation? Miao Yi couldn't tell from the space between her brows.
Looking at the beautiful face resting peacefully on his lap, Luo Shuangfei suddenly felt like he was hugging a poisonous woman. Her heart palpitating, she gently retracted the hand she had placed on Miao Yi's fair chest. She didn't dare to caress it anymore. She lifted her head to look at Miao Yi and secretly stuck out her tongue. She seemed to know that she had gone too far.
However, he didn't dare to move her away, so he could only sit there obediently and let her use his thighs as a pillow.
At the side, Tian Qingfeng and the others were doing their best to invoke their arts to stop the boat from swaying. Their faces were filled with shock as they stared at Miao Yi.
Huo Lingxiao, who had his hands tucked into his sleeves, stood there expressionlessly, as if he already knew the result …
Jade Capital Peak, in a mansion one level below the peak. A purple light flashed inside the door, and a man instantly appeared on the steps of the door.
His hair was tied up in a purple-gold crown, and he was dressed in a wide purple robe embroidered with gold. He had a jade belt around his waist, and his face was dignified and upright. His deep eyes flickered under his sword-like eyebrows, his nose was sharp, his lips were red, and his face was jade-like. His cold gaze was like that of a hawk and a wolf, and his heroic spirit was pressing. He had a good appearance and an extraordinary aura.
On the horizontal board above his head, there were three strong and powerful words — Governor's Mansion!
From the looks of it, it seemed that the battle outside had alarmed him.
Two figures streaked across the sky. The two of them staggered as they landed on the ground and quickly walked up to him. They cupped their fists in unison and said, "Commander in Chief, it's a strong enemy. Even though we've joined hands, we were still injured by the other party in a single move. We even lost our transcendent artifacts."
So this person was the Manor Lord of the Fifth Earthly Branch's Military Manor, Lan Hou.
Standing on the steps, Lan Hou asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"We are ashamed. We didn't even see what he looked like." The two of them cupped their hands in shame.
Whoosh! The two of them raised their heads. Governor Lan's figure was already nowhere to be seen.
Inside the pleasure boat, Luo Shuangfei, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly tilted his head. The silhouette of a dress flashed before his eyes, giving his cheeks a slight twitch. Then, he realized that the beautiful woman resting on his knees had already disappeared into thin air.
When he raised his head again, Xiao Xiao was already standing several meters away. She was strolling out of the boat's pavilion barefoot. The tail of her light-yellow dress that dragged on the ground was currently fluttering behind her, completely exposing her jade-like legs. Even the roots of her thighs could be seen. She dragged her long dress behind her as she slowly walked forward. It was a sight that would cause one's blood to boil.
Her fine black hair also fluttered behind her. With her sleeves fluttering in the wind, she looked like a fairy, as though she was about to soar into the sky.
Her jade-like feet seemed to be taking a light step forward, but in reality, she was already several meters away with each step. It was as though the ground had shrunk to mere inches. Her posture was so enchanting and beautiful that even Miao Yi's heart raced as he watched. He didn't even blink as his gaze followed the movements of that graceful figure.
Seeing Miao Yi's demeanor, Luo Shuangfei rolled his eyes, stood up, and walked towards him.
Who would be in the mood to pay attention to Luo Shuangfei now? All he saw was that tear-stained flute in Xiao Xiao's hand. She pressed it against her red lips, and in just a few steps, she had already shrunk the ground to mere inches to stand on the bow of the boat.
"Wuuuuu … wuuuu …"
The ethereal melody of the flute reverberated through the air. Xiao Xiao stood at the bow of the boat with her eyes closed, her jade-like fingers moving up and down the flute. Her brows were as calm as the mountains in the distance. The beauty of this scene was indescribable. It was enough to make any man or woman's heart race.
The surface of the lake rippled once again. In the blink of an eye, the raging waves were even more violent than before. It was as though they were about to capsize all the boats on the Jade Lake. In the distance, countless people were screaming and howling.
A purple light flashed in the sky, and the Manor Head of the Martial Manor, Lan Hou, appeared out of thin air. He wore a purple-gold crown on his head, and a purple robe embroidered with gold. He stood high up in the sky, and the silhouette of a Fifth Grade Purple Lotus appeared between his brows. With a flip of his palm, he pressed downwards, and a vast amount of transcendence energy came crashing down.
In an instant, the raging waves on the Jade Lake calmed down, having been suppressed by Lan Hou's palm. He had saved the lives of countless commoners on the Jade Lake. Otherwise, this New Year's Eve would have become a night of wailing.
High up in the sky, Lan Hou's cold gaze swept across the area below. When he saw the woman playing the flute at the bow of the boat, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.
The woman standing at the bow of the boat still had her eyes closed. However, the sound coming from the flute suddenly changed. The surrounding air seemed to have instantly dropped to a freezing point, causing everyone to shiver. The calm surface of the lake began to emit an eerie chill.
'Splash!' The tranquility of the lake was suddenly broken. Countless icicles broke through the surface of the water, shooting towards Lan Hou high up in the sky like a torrential storm.
Standing proudly in the sky, Lan Hou waved his sleeves, unleashing a surge of transcendence energy. The countless icicles instantly exploded into a mist and assaulted him. In the blink of an eye, they all condensed beneath his feet.
Then, with a flick of his sleeves, he stood on top of the mist as though he was riding on a cloud. He controlled the mist to quickly float above the flower boat, then pointed downwards.
The flower boat on the calm lake immediately let out a creaking sound, as though it was about to break apart. Under the immense pressure, the entire boat slowly sank, and the colorful lanterns hanging around it were instantly extinguished as well.
Inside the boat, Miao Yi and the others were all terrified. Fortunately, the sound of the flute changed, and the colorful lanterns around them instantly lit up once more. The creaking sound of the boat breaking apart disappeared as well, and the railings of the boat that were about to sink into the water began to float up again.
The white gauze hanging around the boat quickly fluttered outwards, as though it wanted to take the entire boat up with it. An indescribable air current continued to howl within the cabin.
Knowing that two experts were fighting, the people inside the cabin didn't dare to move recklessly. They didn't even dare to leave this place even if they wanted to.
Huo Lingxiao turned to look at Miao Yi, speechless. He realized that he was a little unlucky to have bumped into this guy. He actually caused such a huge commotion because of him.
At this moment, everyone only knew that the boat was suddenly rising and falling.
"Hmm …."
A thunderous voice suddenly came from the top of Jade Capital Peak in the distance. It was filled with a boundless majesty, causing the hearts of those who heard it to tremble.
Standing high up in the clouds, Lan Hou waved his sleeves and retracted his hand. He turned around to take a look, then turned around and disappeared in a flash. The gathering clouds immediately dispersed.
The flute playing at the bow of the boat abruptly stopped. Standing at the bow of the boat, Xiao Xiao opened her eyes and looked up at the sky. With a wave of her sleeve, the surrounding bluish-green waves surged and enveloped the entire flower boat from all directions. In an instant, like a balloon, it enveloped the entire flower boat and quickly sank to the bottom of the lake.
The onlookers on the boats near and far immediately noticed that the flower boat that had been stirring up trouble had disappeared into thin air.
On the other hand, Miao Yi and the others on the boat realized that the entire boat was quickly moving forward at the bottom of the lake. The scenery at the bottom of the lake flashed past them, and Xiao Xiao, who stood at the bow of the boat, was still floating like a fairy.
In the blink of an eye, the flower boat had traveled a thousand meters in the water, escaping from the sight of mortals. Standing at the bow of the boat, Xiao Xiao flicked her sleeves and shot up into the sky, dragging the tail of her dress behind her. It was a beautiful sight, and in an instant, she pierced through the balloon that was protecting the flower boat and disappeared in a flash.
The sudden surge of water pressure from all directions immediately caused the entire flower boat to disintegrate. By the time everyone on the boat came to the surface and looked around, they had no idea which direction Xiao Xiao had flown in.
Miao Yi turned to Huo Lingxiao and asked, "Big Brother, who is Xiao Xiao?"
However, Huo Lingxiao cast his gaze towards Jade Capital Peak. No one knew what he was thinking, but he simply replied, "Knowing too much won't do you any good."
Miao Yi asked again, "Then what should we do now? We've offended someone from the Martial Manor. How are we going to escape? "
"It's fine now. Consider yourselves lucky that someone has helped you deal with it. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. " Huo Lingxiao turned around and left on the waves. His cultivation didn't seem all that impressive, but in truth, he still didn't want to reveal his identity to Miao Yi.
"It's fine now? It's been dealt with? "Miao Yi was taken aback, but soon came to a realization. It must be because of that Miss Xiao Xiao.
Under the moonlight, outside the Martial Manor on Jade Capital Peak, Lan Hou stood at the edge of the mountain with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Jade Lake.
