Chapter 161: The Silly and Cute Little Koi

Chapter 161: The Silly and Cute Little Koi

She opened her eyes in confusion, looking at the handsome man before her with a faint, mischievous smile on his face, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Qin Xuan?"

Such a big celebrity.

Especially with his magnificent feat at the entrance of the Land of Fallen Emperors earlier.

I am afraid there is no faction that has entered the Land of Fallen Emperors that doesn't know him.

Little Koi, naturally, was no exception.

"Suppress!"

Qin Xuan grabbed Little Koi's slender hand, pulled her behind him, and immediately summoned the ancient prison-suppressing tower.

Wielding the small tower as if it were an extension of his own arm, he slammed it against the sky full of white threads.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The white threads from the Old Eunuch's whisk all struck the expanding body of the ancient prison-suppressing tower, erupting with a deafening hum.

After blocking a strike from the Saint King Realm, Qin Xuan pulled Little Koi and turned to run.

Whoosh—

A brilliant blade light slashed past, shattering the space.

A black crack, like an abyss, appeared on the path of retreat for Qin Xuan and Little Koi.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

The brown-haired Blade-wielding Old Man stood in the air, staring at Qin Xuan with great interest.

It was as if he had seen a fat sheep.

Little Koi said in a panicked voice, "This matter has nothing to do with Qin Xuan. Don't hurt him; I have no friendship with him either."

Holding the earthen jar in her arms, she stared at Qin Xuan with her clear, watery eyes and warned him worriedly, "I don't know why you saved me, but these two Saint King Realm experts are not opponents you can defeat. Leave here and don't worry about me."

Qin Xuan felt Little Koi trying to pull her hand away and gripped it even tighter.

He looked around and sneered, "It's probably too late to leave now."

The Old Eunuch pinched his orchid fingers and laughed in a shrill voice, "I was just worrying about where to find you. His Highness, the Third Prince, has been longing for your quasi-emperor artifact, longing for it intensely!"

The Blade-wielding Old Man laughed loudly, "We searched everywhere for you, but found you without any effort! I didn't expect you, kid, to actually deliver yourself to our doorstep!"

Little Koi entrusted the earthen jar in her arms to Qin Xuan and said seriously, "You take them and leave here. I will block them for you and delay them for a moment."

Qin Xuan asked curiously, "Are you confident?"

Little Koi shook her head helplessly.

"Then why are you acting tough?" Qin Xuan pulled Little Koi into the ancient prison-suppressing tower and immediately dashed out aimlessly.

Relying on the sturdiness of the quasi-emperor artifact, he forced a breakout.

"Where are you running to!"

"Imprison!"

The Old Eunuch and the Blade-wielding Old Man attacked at the same time.

The steel-like white threads and blade light fell upon the tower, not even leaving a shallow white mark.

They could only watch helplessly as the small tower escaped the encirclement.

"Don't run, you scoundrel!"

The supporters of the Third Prince, led by the Old Eunuch, were furious.

They chased after them at lightning speed.

The Heaven-Swallowing Carp and the ancient prison-suppressing tower escaped together.

If they failed to obtain the two supreme treasures that the Third Prince had specifically instructed them to get, disaster would befall them.

Furthermore, they had already offended the seventh of the Seven Pearls of Mingyue, Little Koi.

If this matter were to spread, they would inevitably face the frenzied retaliation of the Mingyue Dynasty!

Even the Crown Prince could not guarantee their lives, let alone the currently weakened Third Prince.

"Stop for me!"

The Old Eunuch's whisk, with its thousands of threads, took the shape of a birdcage.

It covered hundreds of miles, closing in front of the small tower, attempting to imprison it.

Boom—

The ancient prison-suppressing tower was unstoppable, smashing directly through the birdcage, causing it to shatter.

When the Old Eunuch retracted his whisk, he discovered that the white threads looked like a vulture with ruffled feathers on its head.

"I'm so angry!"

The Old Eunuch was so angry that his eyebrows were crooked and his eyes were wide. He shouted at the Saint Realm attendant beside him, "Go notify Butian Holy Land and have the Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect come here immediately. We have found the scoundrel Qin Xuan!"

The chase continued.

Inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Qin Xuan was completely unaffected.

The attacks from the Saint King Realm landing on the small tower did not cause any backlash to him.

What happened outside was outside; he could even be having a wedding night inside.

Of course, he couldn't appear so relaxed and carefree; otherwise, wouldn't it seem like he wasn't very sincere in saving Little Koi?

Sacrifice must look like sacrifice.

He had to let the other party know; otherwise, how would the other party be moved?

Pfft!

Qin Xuan desperately squeezed out a mouthful of blood and spat it out, collapsing to the ground with a weak aura. He looked at Little Koi in front of him and shook his head helplessly, "These two Saint King Realm experts are truly troublesome. Just the aftershocks alone were enough to shake me up!"

Leng Li's voice arrived before her person, "Where is this a stroke of romantic Luck? This is clearly a romantic disaster."

"With two Saint King Realm experts, if it weren't for this ancient prison-suppressing tower, they would have killed you eight hundred times over."

"If they catch up to the small tower and refine it, you will not only lose this quasi-emperor artifact but also lose your life!"

Little Koi's petite and exquisite body was trembling.

She was pacing around in anxiety.

The Heaven And Earth Treasure she had on her had just been fed to the Heaven-Swallowing Carps.

Right now, she couldn't produce any major medicine.

Anxious as an ant on a hot pan, she suddenly remembered something. Right in front of Qin Xuan, she used her hand as a blade to cut a bloody gash on her fair arm. She stretched out her bleeding arm toward Qin Xuan's mouth and urged, "Drink my blood. My blood can heal injuries."

Qin Xuan pushed her fair arm away, "I don't drink human blood. What's the difference between that and devouring raw meat and blood?"

Little Koi shook her head quickly, "It doesn't matter, I'm not human."

♦ ♦ ♦

Qin Xuan's eyes widened.

Little Koi hurriedly explained, "I am a Koi spirit that has Cultivated into human form. These Heaven-Swallowing Carps are all my kin."

"I only returned to rescue them after learning that the Third Prince of the Ziyang Dynasty wanted to harm my kin!"

"It's just a pity that I am too weak; I am merely a quasi-Saint and am simply no match for that eunuch."

Qin Xuan looked at the Heaven-Swallowing Carps in the jar, then glanced at the clear-eyed Little Koi, and asked puzzledly, "Why are they carp, and you are a Koi? Did you mutate?"

"Also, I didn't even ask you. You've spilled all your secrets; aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"

Little Koi shook her head and said firmly, "You are not a bad person!"

Leng Li's cold voice echoed throughout the space of the small tower, "These Heaven-Swallowing Carps, when refined into Luck pills, are already precious enough to make the Third Prince of the Ziyang Dynasty scramble for them. If they knew that you, a shapeshifted Little Koi, are of the same origin as these Heaven-Swallowing Carps, wouldn't they refine you on the spot?"

"Qin Xuan, capture this Little Koi. I will refine her into a Luck pill for you. The effect will be a thousand times better than these dozens of Heaven-Swallowing Carps!"

Little Koi was shocked at first, then stood there blankly, stunned.

Qin Xuan reached out and poked Little Koi's delicate cheek. It was so moist that it seemed like it could drip water with a pinch. He teased, "Aren't you afraid?"

Little Koi first shook her head, then nodded, "I'm afraid, but..."

"But I think what she said makes a lot of sense."
