The General's Genius Daughter-Chapter 322 - Descendants of the Eight-Horned Dragon

The three men heard him and immediately slapped the table, shooting up. “You stinking lad, you must be tired of living!”

Hua Qiyue had to turn back, descendants of the dragon? She knew that the descendants of other species were present in Tianyuan Continent. But it was the first time she had seen the descendants of a dragon.

But the descendants of such dragons living among men were definitely abandoned by Heaven. In other words, they were exiles banished to the mortal world, although immortals.

Hua Qiyue stared at the three men. They spouted two strange horns. They did not look too ugly but were not handsome either. But the woman was attractive looking. She was petite and exquisite. Yet the moment she saw Hua Qiyue, her eyes were filled with jealousy!

Because Hua Qiyue was prettier than her.

Hua Qiyue was such a ravishing beauty, as chaste and inviolable as a fairy. The three men immediately started upon seeing her face. They were almost about to kill Hua Zun and Tianpi, yet they were so momentarily stunned by Hua Qiyue’s beauty that they lost themselves.

Hua Zun immediately started to snicker. “What are you looking at? Foolish descendants of the dragon, is our Qiyue for you to gawp at?”

Saying this, Hua Zun acted. The bamboo skewer became three streaks of lightning, darting toward the eyes of the men!

Instantly, Hua Zun released his powerful oppressive aura, greatly astounding these men!

Because earlier on, Hua Qiyue and her friends had suppressed their auras.

From their appearances, Tianpi and Hua Zun resembled young men. Only young, ignorant men would be so impudent toward the descendants of dragons.

But how could they imagine the aggressive powers of Tianpi and Hua Zun?

“Ah!”

The three men shrieked and covered their eyes. Instantly, blood trickled down their hands. Hua Qiyue lifted her brows a little. Hua Zun was indeed quite something. His one bamboo skewer had injured all three of them.

Tianci stared astonished at these three shrieking men. “Hey, aren’t the descendants of dragons very powerful? Why were they hit by just one move?”

The three men and one woman instantly became terrified. They no longer dared to pursue Tianpi and Hua Zun’s responsibilities and ran out of the meatball stall, screaming at the top of their voices.

“Abominable human beings… we… will be back!”

From a far distance came the ferocious roar of these descendants. Hua Qiyue looked at the somewhat upset stall. Hua Zun’s action had scared all its customers away.

The waiter and his boss were flabbergasted and stunned. They stood there, trembling, not knowing what to do.

Hua Qiyue gave a light sigh. “You can create such trouble even eating a meatball.”

“Mom, you mean you can’t teach them a lesson for insulting me?”

Tianci asked curiously.

Hua Qiyue gave a quiet smile. “As long as he doesn’t hurt you, what can mockery and scorn do? Why should we humans care about these mad dogs? Do you mean that we must bite back when a mad dog bites us?”

Tianci widened his eyes. “Yes, I have once seen kids getting bitten by dogs… It’s true. We humans shouldn’t care about mad dogs!”

Tianpi and Hua Zun exchanged glances. What a brilliant analogy. Hua Qiyue had derided them so thoroughly.

Hua Zun lowered his head, muttering, “Qiyue, it’s not deliberate. I just don’t want them… to gawp at you.”

“It’s alright. Let’s eat.”

Tianci sat down and enthusiastically waved his hand at the waiter. “Don’t worry, waiter. We’re humans, not dogs. Hey, we will pay for the losses of your stall.”

Everyone was speechless. This young boy Tianci sounded even more seasoned than a grown-up.

Hua Qiyue began to get interested in those descendants of the dragons. “Tianpi, how did you know they are descendants of dragons?”

“One, the horns. Two, the aura of the Eight-horned Demon Dragon.”

Tianpi explained indifferently.

Hua Qiyue suddenly understood. So they were descendants of the Eight-horned Demon Dragon. Speaking of the dragon, Tianpi and Hua Zun must be acquainted with it too? Its descendants had not recognized Tianpi, which must be why they had provoked them so arrogantly.

“They may come to our doorstep. But just as well. We are old friends with the Eight-horned Demon Dragon. It’s right for old friends to visit us.” Hua Zun chuckled. Hua Qiyue knew the influence the Eight-horned Demon Dragon had on them.

If it weren’t for the Eight-horned Demon Dragon, Tao Xian’er would not have taken the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead.

Tianpi would not have taken the Hallucinatory Pearl too, entering the Devil’s Path and turning into a devil.

And of course, he would not have killed Tao Xian’er and started the tragedy.

But Hua Qiyue was not that interested in the Eight-horned Demon Dragon. Even if her soul was Tao Xian’er’s, it would be alright. After all, Tao Xian’er’s death in that life was entirely due to Hua Zun and his friends’ recklessness.

When Hua Zun saw Hua Qiyue finish all her meatballs, he got the waiter to bring them more. They would have one portion of each sort.

Hua Qiyue was completely full. Tianci’s face was flushing and his stomach gorged. In order to eat other foods, Tianci stopped eating obediently.

Coming out of the meatball stall, the scampering Tianci pulled Hua Qiyue to other stalls for more food. The boy was now a complete glutton. His round cheeks were so chubby.

In Ice City, there were many foreigners from Nanhe Kingdom. When they saw Hua Qiyue’s spellbinding beauty, many came forward to accost her. Some even wanted to abduct her. Naturally, Hua Zun and Tianpi taught them a good lesson. They were cut and bruised all over, running away and screaming for their lives.

After these beatings, everyone knew that Tianpi and Hua Zun were powerful. No one dared to block Hua Qiyue’s path and accost her.

During this trip, Tianpi and Hua Zun bought many snacks that Tianci and Hua Qiyue loved to eat. They stored them in the Space Ring. In other words, they did not need to cook for months. They could survive on these for breakfast and dinner.

Time flew. The days passed. Hua Qiyue and Tianci stayed in the Ice Palace to cultivate. Whenever they were bored, they would visit the forest to hunt down evil beasts. But after two trips, all the evil beasts had run away.

Many evil beasts still knew about the massacre in the forest 10,000 years ago. Now, there were three powerful males and a woman. They were still afraid.

Left with no evil beasts to hunt, they could only visit Ice City when they were bored. Tianpi no longer stored anything in the Space Ring, since they would visit the Ice City anyway.

Without them noticing it, a year passed.

Their days were calm and untroubled.

But at Prince Nan’s mansion, in the capital of Changjing.

It was rumored that Prince Nan, Yun Shimo, was away from his mansion in the past year. They heard three versions of this rumor. The first, that Prince Nan had become a monk. The second, that Prince Nan was searching for Hua Qiyue. The third, that Prince Nan had left for a very distant place. He was practicing under a Master, in order to seize Hua Qiyue back…

None of them was correct.

Yun Shimo was still sitting motionless under the Bodhi Tree, trying to comprehend the Heavenless Book.

He had tried for over a year to comprehend the Heavenless Book, but failed. Yun Shimo did not give up. He continued to remain motionless. He was at the great completeness of Great Deity and did not need to eat. He could survive on the anima energy of the heaven and the earth from all around him.

In other words, a person at the great completeness of Great Deity was almost like an immortal. He did not need to eat anything and could still survive a long time.

The Hare was crouching by the side, sleeping. A year had passed. It was still sleeping its long sleep. When it awoke, it found Yun Shimo still holding on to the Heavenless Book, gazing intently at the scroll, completely still.

It was still a blank on the scroll.

The hare yawned and discovered that the Man-Hunting Insect and Asura Chicken were still around. They were by the side, staring at Yun Shimo in bewilderment.

The hare got up and changed into human form. “Humph, I have finally regained my powers. Hahahaha…”

Hare burst into maniacal laughter. Yet Yun Shimo pretended not to hear, still sitting there, quietly comprehending. It was as if the hare was not there at all.

The hare stopped its manic laughter and glanced bemused at Yun Shimo. It started to mutter to itself. “Tsk, tsk, this fellow is obsessed. Not bad, not bad. I suppose this Heavenless Book suits him well.”

The hare had tried to comprehend the scroll, but gave up after a month. Because it was not a Qi Artist who could quietly comprehend an Art.

It was nearly autumn this year. A fresh gale blew as clouds loomed in the blue sky.

The leaves fluttered down, one swirling leisurely onto Yun Shimo’s head. It stuck to his hair and did not fall.

He still kept his eyes glued to the scroll, staring quietly in a trance. But this time, he slowly shut his eyes. It was as if he was committing every fold and crease of the scroll to memory, slowly comprehending.

The hare could only tiptoe to the outside. After a dozen steps, it suddenly realized that Yun Shimo’s parents were staring at their son nearby.

The hare tidied its black robe. Madame Yun immediately advanced to greet it. “Your Divine Holiness, when will my son be willing to return home?”

It had been a year. His parents had come almost every day to visit Yun Shimo. They discovered the hare with him and were not too worried. But could Yun Shimo really not eat or drink and survive?

Neither of them had reached the great completeness of Great Deity. As such, they were perplexed.

“It depends. He will return if he manages to comprehend the Heavenless Book.” The hare threw a glance back. Under the tree, Yun Shimo’s features were deep-set, his countenance handsome. He seemed like an immortal seeking enlightenment under a tree.

“Forget it. My lady, let’s go. With His Divine Holiness here, Mo-er will be fine.”

Yun Xuan had learned the truth from Madame Yun. He sighed with regret. It was after all Madame Yun’s fault which had ruined Yun Shimo’s wedding.

It was also something that could not be helped.

Madame Yun silently nodded. “Sorry for the trouble, Your Divine Holiness. Do you need anything?”

The hare shook its head. “I need nothing. Please leave, Madame Yun.”

The Sun Moon Deity was still quite amiable. Madame Yun voiced her thanks repeatedly before leaving the depths of the mountains with Yun Xuan. They returned to Prince Nan’s mansion.

Day followed day and night followed night. The stars and the moon were revolving in their orbits. Another half a year passed. Yun Shimo was still sitting where he was, not shifting even a little bit.

The Man-Hunting Insect flew to the hare, which was eating wild fruits by the side, and said in a whisper, “His Highness is so awesome. He hasn’t even moved an inch for over a year. Tsk, tsk. This is far more painful than cultivation.”

The hare smiled and said nothing.

Yun Shimo had no other choice. If he did not try to comprehend, he would have no other shortcuts to improve his powers.

A breeze blew and the falling leaves fluttered to the ground. Although it was only late spring, the leaves of the Bodhi Tree were still swirling down in a dance. Yun Shimo suddenly opened his mouth. Instantly, the leaves before his eyes disintegrated into dust.

The Sun Moon Deity sat by one side, quietly observing the finally awake Yun Shimo. He must have comprehended something. Was that why he had opened his eyes?

Yun Shimo slowly began to lift up the blank Heavenless Book. Four lines of huge words appeared before his eyes!
