Chapter 784
Sunshine Valleys Fiend King
Huh? Face flush, Qiao Xue stuttered, N-no.
You initiated it? I always thought you were a reserved girl, commented Fiend King Phoenix.
N-no. W-we, it was an accident
As Qiao Xue shot him a glare, Mu Yu tipped his gaze to the sky.
So it was a partial rejection and a partial consensual? I kept telling you all Qiao Xue wasnt with us in spirit ever since coming back from Second Heaven. I did say Second Heaven has a tendency to create romance between people. Back in the day, Phoenix and I also had sparks fly betw-
Ol White, bring up the past one more time, and Ill send you packing out of Sunshine Valley!
Why are you being shy when weve been married for so many years?
I dumped you ages ago!
Come on now. Back then, w-
You really want a new face, huh?
You want to fight now? Bring it on.
No wonder why you two are so similar, Mu Yu chimed in.
Listen, kid, were no couple. It was a one night stand, corrected Fiend King White Ape, chest out.
Due to him being occupied with boasting, he didnt see the slap that would send him zooming out of Sunshine Valley. Fiend King Phoenix indifferently dusted off her hands and warned, Thats what happens to philandering men. Understand, kid?
Mu Yu curled his lips.
Cant you go lighter? grumbled Fiend King White Ape, coming back with his hand over his nose.
Fiend King Yujiang voiced, You two should quit now. Youre behaving like children. You should be thanking Mu Yu for saving Sunshine Valley instead of verbally sparring with each other.
What else is there to say when Ive given my approval for him to pair up with Qiao Xue? scoffed Fiend King Phoenix.
Lets talk inside. We dont want to leave a bad impression on our people, arguing with each other on the streets.
Upon entering her bright-red abode, Fiend King Phoenix voiced, Find yourselves a seat. Make yourselves at home. Ol White, you going to get off my seat, or am I going to have to remove you from my seat?
Fiend King White Ape grumbled to himself as he moved to the neighbouring seat. Once everyone else was seated, Fiend King Phoenix inquired, Kid, what do you want as a reward for protecting Sunshine Valley?
For a start, you can tell me where you want and what you found out, Mu Yu replied.
Brother Green Dragon can fill you in tomorrow. Lets discuss some private business now.
Such as?
Your marriage to Qiao Xue, obviously; its time to discuss it, answered Fiend King White Ape, smirking. Im calling dibs: Im your father-in-law. If you dont kowtow and offer me tea respectfully during the ceremony, Ill have you repeat it.
Okay, besides pointless Ol Furry, does anyone else have an answer?
How can I trust you with Qiao Xue if you dont marry her? verbalised Fiend King Phoenix.
Thats but a formality. Besides, my shifu, adopted father, Ku Mu, grandpa and father have to be present.
Qiao Xue sneaked a quick gander Mu Yus way.
Finding your shifu is a tall order. Lets drop it, then. Rules are too binding, anyway. Doc told me about your formula to neutralise ruins poison. Im impressed. That pl-
Phoenix, there are things that should not be mentioned, interjected Fiend King Yujiang.
And what might that be? Mu Yu queried.
The ruin is the end of Third Heaven Continent. Once you venture beyond it, nobody can predict where you will end up, Fiend King Yujiang explained. Theres no point thinking about it unless youre strong enough to protect yourself.
While we arent afraid of the poison, the other fiends fear it. Nice going, kid; I like you. Watching you demolish those two dragons gave me a rush, hahaha, expressed Fiend King White Ape.
The four of you were back some time ago, werent you, Mu Yu questioned.
Yes, we were back before Rising Dragon Tournament, but Green Dragon wanted to see what your dragon vine learnt from you. Had those four dimwits not decided to prove themselves mentally demented, we might not have shown ourselves, answered Fiend King White Ape.
Hahaha, the look on Green Dragons face after you ran Jade Wyrms spear through him was priceless, added Fiend King Phoenix.
Stop relishing his misery. At the end of the day, the four are Ascension Realm adepts. Thats akin to losing two arms. Unlike us, the lifespan of our other seven or eight Ascension Realm adepts have one foot in their casket. If we also kill Long Shentu and Long Xingan, well have also lost our legs, pointed out Fiend King Yujiang.
Having said that, the three of us have spoken to Green Dragon because its true that well also struggle to grow stronger as a race if we allow those four to throw their weight around. Let their deaths act as deterrence. Thanks to you bringing your dragon vine here, our persuasion got through to Green Dragon a lot easier. If his successors life is constantly threatened, then the infighting will never cease.
At least hes not completely senile yet, Mu Yu disparaged.
I thought he was senile, commented the dragon vine.
Hahaha, I love how you two speak your mind as it is. You know, I dont recall anyone ever speaking to Green Dragon the way you two do, applauded Fiend King Phoenix.
Mu Yu, when you speak to him tomorrow, speak politely. Green Dragon is a prideful fiend.
Mu Yu shrugged. By the way, Doctor mentioned random patterns surfacing on fiends bodies and triggering symptoms out of nowhere. Do you know anything about that?
The three kings turned to each other and then shook their heads. Fiend King Phoenix reported, We arent sure ourselves. Green Dragon tried investigating two years ago, but he didnt get anywhere.
Would it be related to the ruins poison?
Thats hard to say. He never saw anything like it in the five thousand or so years hes lived here.
What happened two years ago? asked the dragon vine.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened to our race on the whole. As for the humans of Third Heaven Continent, were not sure.
Hmm, I wonder if any particular event in the last two years might be related. Ah, whatever, what am I going to do if a Fiend King doesnt know, Mu Yu thought to himself. Its none of my business, so I wont pry. Be careful, I guess.
Qiao Xue poured everyone a cup of two except for Fiend King Yujiang, whom she served some sea water.
Im lucky to have Qiao Xue around. Otherwise, Id have to bring ocean water here and leave the ocean dry. I wouldnt want that, complimented Fiend King Yujiang, smiling.
Qiao Xue is more competent than you think. Why else do you think wed treat her as our precious daughter? Fiend King White Ape guzzled his cup of tea. For instance, my favourite drink is the celestial mountain dew she creates.
Mm Fiend King Ocean, I could create a pool that resembles the ocean near Sunshine Valley. In saying that, I will need pointers from you, Qiao Xue proposed.
Thatd be terrific. I was concerned about struggling to adapt to life here after Green Dragon told me to stay. Also, you dont have to call me Fiend King Ocean; you can just call me Grandpa Yujiang.
Oi, Yujiang, Im older than you, and she calls me Uncle. You trying to one up me?! Fiend King White Ape grouched.
She calls you uncle because you dont carry yourself like an elder. Why dont you go pick a fight with the doctor when she also refers to him as Grandpa?
Stop fussing, you old monkey. Id like to have her call me Miss to sound young, Fiend King Phoenix verbalised.
