Chapter 294   The Most Laughable Joke in the World

When Tianci saw that his parents were attacked crazily and that he was so well-protected that he could not use any anima energy, he was furious.

“Shameless western poisonous insect, I’m gonna cut off your flesh piece by piece and roast it to eat. How dare you hit my mom...” Tianci’s eyes were blazing with fury. In an instant, a purple glow burst from his body. That glow actually enveloped the black dragon completely!

Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan had stood on one side, laughing and watching them with a gloating look. He did not expect that the brat had a strange change in an instant. His body gave out a cold and holy purple glow, which suddenly lit up the whole world. This dusty part of the world suddenly became clear and transparent...

“Ouch!” The black dragon, tightly enveloped in the purple holy light, shrieked. As it shook its huge dragon tail, it immediately threw off a lot of purple light, but the latter did not disappear wholly.

Hua Qiyue, Yun Shimo, and the others were all shocked by the sudden change. They stood where they were and saw the black dragon growling. Its ball-sized red eyes were full of inexplicable fear!

The black dragon jumped up and suddenly made a gust of wind, which swept Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan into the air. His Space Ring was swept away by the black dragon. With the purple light on its body, the black dragon instantly disappeared in front of everyone...

This this this...

The crowd was speechless, petrified to the extreme. For a moment, they could not understand why the black dragon, who seemed to have the upper hand, had run away in such a hurry.

“Ugh...” Because Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan had summoned the black dragon, there was no more anima energy left in him, so he fell from the upper air, seemingly breaking his viscera.

Tianci was shocked. He found himself surrounded by people who were staring at him in shock, including Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo, with expressions of surprise in their eyes.

“Mom, what’s the matter? Why did that black dragon flee away?” Tianci felt depressed. He hadn’t made a move yet. He planned to practice his Qi Art with the black dragon, but he didn’t expect it to run away like that!

Hua Qiyue’s eyes were swimming with tears. This time, her son saved them.

“Tianci, you did a good job. Mom is very pleased!” Hua Qiyue crouched down and held Tianci tight, and her tears ran down.

She had been worried that Tianci would be hurt, but she did not expect that it was Tianci who scared the black dragon away.

She guessed that the black dragon was afraid of the purple light of the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead. That was why it ran away regardless of everything.

For the black dragon who stood high above the masses, escape was a complete disgrace.

“What did you say, mom? Why didn’t I understand?”

Yun Shimo patted Tianci on the shoulder. “Tianci, you are the strongest. I’ll look over there.”

Then he walked toward Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan, who was struggling on the ground.

Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan lived a respectable life and had never encountered anything like this in his life. He could not help looking at Yun Shimo in despair before him!

The scenes that he, his older generation, and his ancestors hunted and killed members of the Yun Family all came to his mind.

A voice in his heart told him that retribution had come...

Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan’s eyes dimmed, and he murmured, “I, Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan, am the current Patriarch of the Xuanyuan Clan, a man everyone looks up to... I never thought I would have this day. Yun Shimo! You’re out of luck. Haha, but never mind, even if you killed me, my father would take revenge on you!”

His father was Xuanyuan Wutian, a man in the Great Deity Realm!

Today, however, he had made the Xuanyuan Family a joke. He successfully summoned the black dragon, but the black dragon was scared away by a brat before it could kill any enemy! It was really a shame on the Xuanyuan Family!

Yun Shimo looked at him expressionlessly and said, “Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan, no matter which of you came, it was the same fate! I, Yun Shimo, will not allow the tragedy of so many years ago to be repeated!”

After that, a white light abruptly shot from his finger and hit Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan’s heart!

Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan still tried to get up. He wanted to die sitting down, but he had no strength left. His eyes widened, and he died with a grievance.

It was all over.

But Yun Shimo knew there were greater challenges ahead.

He could no longer rely on Tianci’s purple light. He longed to be mighty again.

“Whew, we won!” Ji Jing cheered in the crowd.

The onlookers clapped their hands enthusiastically, excited about this victory.

As an ancient family, the Xuanyuan Family had overwhelmed people with its power for so many years. It took up the best resources in the world but never meddled in the affairs of the world. The Xuanyuan Family had always stood by when the Dark Sect ran amuck. It had no regard for the common people.

“Brother Yun, Sister Qiyue, are you all right?” Ji Jing ran over and asked excitedly, forgetting her sadness at being ignored by Bai Qianxue.

Yun Shimo and the others all shook their heads. They thought the battle would be fierce, but it ended so easily.

Yun Shimo sustained a minor internal injury, but it was nothing serious.

Because the Qinghe Inn was razed, it had to be rebuilt. Hua Qiyue handed the banknotes to the landlady in person, but the landlady refused.

But Hua Qiyue was loaded. She really did not mind leaving the landlady a stack of banknotes to rebuild the inn in a short time. Although the surrounding area had almost been destroyed, not as beautiful as before, the artificial reconstruction of some of the scenery was not bad.

Hua Qiyue had to look for another inn, but other innkeepers feared that Hua Qiyue’s enemies would return to harm them, so no inn was willing to let them stay.

So Hua Qiyue had to buy a big yard near the Qinghe Inn.

She didn’t care about money, anyway. The big yard was bought, and nobody was around. If anyone else came, she didn’t have to worry about bringing disaster upon innocents.

Because of that battle, Hua Qiyue and her people became famous all over the world, especially the young Tianci. He became a powerful celebrity when he was only eight years old.

As soon as Tianci stepped out of the yard, he received a lot of attention.

The spacious courtyard had eight big rooms, kitchens, and four small yards in the east, west, north, and south. Anyway, it was perfect.

Hua Qiyue liked the waterside pavilions, flowers, and plants in the backyard, and the Bodhi Tree in the yard very much.

While Yun Shimo pressed on with Alchemy. He had invented a kind of medicine pellet recently—Soul-rejuvenating Pellet.

He worked out the enhanced version—Soul-rejuvenating Pellet, with the prescription that Old Master Murong gave him and his hard study.

That was to say, the effect of this kind of Soul-rejuvenating Pellet was several times better than the original version. Of course, it was tens of times better than the Top-grade Magic Pellet Hua Qiyue had received before.

So far, no one had succeeded in refining this kind of top-grade medicine pellet.

Without exception, all those who had tried to refine this kind of medicine pellet died or were seriously injured, and they came to a tragic end.

In the medicine refining chamber in the east courtyard, Yun Shimo stood for a long time in front of the medicine tripod.

Seeing that, Bingyi, who stood by the door, went slowly to the south courtyard to look for Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue was gone, and so was Tianci. He guessed that they had gone into the green jade gourd to practice.

Bingyi guessed correctly. At the moment, Hua Qiyue was sitting with Tianpi at the stone table, looking at the delicacies. Tianpi’s expression was as impassive as it had been a few days before.

Tianci soaked himself in the pool. After having the experience of repelling the black dragon, he tried hard to elevate his level. In that way, he could be stronger and protect his mom.

“You say, Xuanyuan Wutian is a figure in the Great Deity Realm, and we have no chance to win him?” Hua Qiyue asked softly, looking at the silent Tianpi.

Tianpi was really weird.

Why didn’t he talk and laugh as much as he used to? She knew there must be something in his heart, or he wouldn’t behave in this way.

Hua Qiyue waited for his answer.

Tianpi slowly picked up the wine glass Hua Qiyue had filled for him and took a gentle sip. “With effort, one can achieve anything.”

“With effort, one can achieve anything?”

“What does this mean?”

Hua Qiyue asked several times again, but Tianpi gave her the cold shoulder. She was devastated because such cases were so rare, after all.

Hua Qiyue never asked him again and went to practice in the pool, as Tianci did.

After practicing for half a day, the two felt that they had made significant progress in their practice, so they got up and went out for lunch.

Hua Qiyue did not expect to see Bingyi wandering under the Bodhi Tree as soon as she opened the door.

Seeing Hua Qiyue and Tianci come out, Bingyi hurried forward. Princess Qianyang, however, followed him in silence, with no jealousy in her eyes.

After all, she knew that Yun Shimo was Bingyi’s master and Hua Qiyue was Yun Shimo’s woman, who couldn’t possibly have anything to do with Bingyi.

“Princess, please hurry to the medicine refining chamber and stop my master. He’s going to refine the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet!”

Bingyi’s anxious expression made Hua Qiyue freeze. Soul-rejuvenating Pellet? What a familiar name!

“It is the prescription that Old Master Murong gave my master. And my master has improved and strengthened the prescription. He is going to refine the medicine pellet. After all, I’ve heard that when a person takes it, he or she will reach the Great Deity Realm... After all, the promotion of two levels in succession is a great temptation to my master. He was afraid that when Xuanyuan Wutian came, he wouldn’t be able to... fight his enemy of generations,” Bingyi explained hurriedly.

Without saying anything, Hua Qiyue strode toward the medicine refining chamber in the east courtyard.

When they got to the window and looked in, Yun Shimo had closed his eyes and was manipulating the fire. Plumes of hot air rose from the medicine tripod.

“No, he has begun!”

Bingyi’s face became gloomy. Hua Qiyue was about to break into the chamber when Bingyi stopped her.

He lowered his voice and said, “Princess, don’t go in. My master has started and cannot withdraw from it. You’ll only make him suffer Qi Deviation if you disturb him.”

Yun Shimo not only locked the door from inside but also turned some of his anima energy into a shield, preventing all the interference of sound.

Hua Qiyue withdrew the hand that was about to knock. Tianci saw Yun Shimo on tiptoe and quietly followed Hua Qiyue to one side.

Sitting under the Bodhi Tree, Hua Qiyue complained, “Bingyi, why didn’t you stop His Highness in advance? What if something happens? After all, he is your master!”

Bingyi shook his head gently and said, “I did stop him, but he won’t listen to me. He’ll only listen to you. I didn’t expect that by the time I found you, it was too late.”

Bingyi only found out the abnormality last night. Early this morning, his suspicion was confirmed. But Hua Qiyue and Tianci were all in the green jade gourd and could not come out to stop Yun Shimo.

“Well, we’ll just have to wait and let fate take its course!”

Hua Qiyue’s face was covered with anxiety.

Ji Jing, Ji Feng, Bai Qianxue, and the others came out as well. Seeing Hua Qiyue like this, they all came to ask her why.
