Chapter 483 Jiang Qingyun’S Money Making Ability
Hong Li was shocked to see the changes in Ao Long's body.
She clearly looked like she was about to die. Hong Li quickly used the Water Mirror technique to check her own appearance, only to find several gray spots on her scales as well.
The bodies around them were also gray and decaying, as if these dead fish were showcasing their impending deaths.
"What's wrong, Hong Li?"
Ao Long noticed Hong Li's momentary stiffness, but she seemed to have not seen the gray spots on Hong Li's body.
In this dim environment, everything was gray. If Hong Li hadn't noticed the spots on Ao Long's body first, she wouldn't have examined herself closely.
"It's nothing. I was just thinking that maybe we will soon be able to pass this trial."
"Really?"
Ao Long immediately became excited and asked, "How do you know?"
"I have a feeling."
Hong Li was completely lying, but she knew that she had to lie now and make Ao Long believe her.
Otherwise, Ao Long would definitely die here, and without her companion, it would be difficult for her to escape from here.
"Given the circumstances, I won't hide it from you anymore. The reason I was determined to go to sea this time is because I received a hint from our ancestors.
Our ancestors told me that we would encounter many trials on our journey, but as long as we remain steadfast, we will definitely be able to survive."
Hong Li was purely bluffing, but her words seemed to have some truth to them.
Thinking of the strange black tide and mist, Ao Long became more convinced that Hong Li was not lying.
Perhaps they encountered the black tide and mist as soon as they set sail because Hong Li was undergoing some kind of training.
"I can already feel that this trial is about to end. Let's give it our all and continue forward!"
"Okay!"
Ao Long responded firmly.
She didn't delve into whether Hong Li was lying or not. It wouldn't make any sense to expose Hong Li at this time.
It would only serve to vent her emotions and have no other effect. It was better to choose to believe and fight desperately.
Otherwise, they would eventually die here, aimlessly swimming around.
After firming their beliefs, the two fish didn't hesitate and continued to accelerate in their chosen direction.
The gray spots on Hong Li and Ao Long's bodies increased, gradually connecting into patches. But the two fish seemed to have not noticed anything and continued forward steadfastly.
Ao Long's tentacles had completely turned black, with gray nails infecting one another.
Out of her eight tentacles, six had turned gray.
But she paid no attention to it and focused solely on moving forward.
However, Hong Li still fell down before her.
Hong Li's strength was much weaker than Ao Long's. After all, she was just a newly appointed Monster Sovereign. Although her foundation was solid, her dragon blood had been replenished by Zhang Chi many times, making it difficult for her to continue.
By now, only her lips remained colorful, while her body had turned completely gray.
Hong Li felt her body becoming incredibly heavy, and there was no sign of life ahead.
They had already lost track of how long they had been swimming, but it felt as if they had been stationary the entire time.
The seawater remained calm and motionless, surrounded by corpses. The environment was always silent, as if they had never moved at all.
Hong Li had done her best. She felt her body gradually stiffening, making it difficult to control, and her body was extremely cold.
At this moment, some warm images subconsciously appeared in her mind.
The warm winter sun, a burning charcoal fire, and Zhang Chi's strong physique.
It was strange that when she was about to die, Hong Li thought of Zhang Chi.
She was sure that she must hate Zhang Chi. Only Zhang Chi had brought her an indelible shame. If she hadn't felt the immense threat from Zhang Chi, she wouldn't have risked going to find the Falling Star Ocean.
Even if she wanted to go, she could have been better prepared, with a stronger cultivation and a deeper foundation.
Unfortunately, she was always worried that Zhang Chi would come back, so she could only take a risk and set sail without proper preparation.
It was also her bad luck. Others had smooth sailing, and even if they encountered some taboos, it was in the deep sea area.
As a result, she and Ao Long had just set sail when they were engulfed in an unavoidable black tide and mysterious fog, facing imminent danger.
"In my life, success and failure are both due to luck," Hong Li sighed sincerely.
Since her birth, even though she had been lucky, she had become a mutated carp with dragon blood, becoming the hope of the entire clan.
And she had always been able to find suitable spiritual objects to assist in her cultivation, accumulating more good things through luck.
Unfortunately, it seemed that all her luck had been used up. She had a difficult time breaking through to become a Monster Sovereign, and her attempt to obtain the true dragon treasure was also unsuccessful. In the end, she took a desperate gamble and ended up in a dire situation, encountering the most dangerous combination of black tide and mysterious fog in the ocean.
Under this combination, Hong Li's Dao heart shattered.
At this point, Hong Li had nothing more to say.
Her quest for the Dao had failed, and today was her day of death.
The one she felt most sorry for was Ao Long.
She could have chosen not to come, and even had a premonition, but she still chose to accompany her.
"Ao Long, I owe you in this life. If there is a next life, I will repay you," Hong Li said in her heart, watching as she was about to sink.
Seeing that something was wrong with her, Ao Long quickly came up and rescued her.
"Hong Li, how are you?"
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can hold on any longer. Rescue, the rescue is just ahead..."
After realizing that she was about to die, Hong Li still wanted to deceive Ao Long one last time.
Maybe she could really break through at this critical moment.
"Let's go, let's travel together to the end."
Ao Long didn't say much, she wasn't a fool.
Whether they could escape or not, she no longer had any expectations. In the end, they could only give it their all.
Using her still smoldering tentacles, she wrapped up Hong Li and her other tentacles gathered forward.
"I never expected that we would become life and death companions in the end."
"I was blinded by pig fat to come here and seek death with you."
"Yes, our relationship in the past was far from good."
To say that their relationship was not good was actually an understatement. They clearly had grievances against each other.
Now, facing death, the two of them felt quite sentimental.
"No need to say more, since we're here, we can't go back."
It's just a pity for my father..."
When Ao Long mentioned this, she still felt extremely reluctant.
It hadn't been long since her third brother was plotted against, and now she was about to be gone. At this point, her father's three children would only have Ao Wu, who was adventuring overseas.
In the mortal world, there is nothing sadder than a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person. Ao Long suddenly had a deep understanding of this.
If anything happened to Ao Wu, who was active in the open sea, she didn't know if her father could bear it.
"I really don't want to die!"
Ao Long let out an angry roar. She also used up her last bit of strength to propel herself forward frantically.
It was in this instant that Ao Long suddenly felt like she had broken through something.
It seemed to be a thin film, with a distinct feeling, but completely invisible.
And the next second, she felt a scorching warmth.
The blazing sunlight shone on them, and the ashes on their bodies gradually dissipated under the sunlight.
Ao Long looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, suddenly feeling like she had returned to reality.
She didn't know how long she had been swimming, but at this moment, she saw the sun.
At this moment, Hong Li also regained her spirit. She saw the sun in the sky and burst into tears of joy.
The two large fish had returned to their human forms and embraced each other, crying bitterly.
After surviving the disaster, one truly understands the value of life.
Through this calamity, Hong Li suddenly came to understand.
In fact, why did she have to go all the way, risking her life, to seek that distant Great Dao?
Her own life is the most precious thing she possesses, and nothing else matters.
"Let's go back, there's no need to go to Falling Star Ocean."
Hong Li suggested giving up voluntarily. She now understands the value of life and doesn't want to take any more risks.
It's not a bad thing to be a little weaker, and there's no need to fear Zhang Chi bullying her. At worst, she'll be bullied a little, and she'll gradually get used to it.
In any case, being bullied by Zhang Chi is better than moving forward in this endless darkness.
She doesn't dare to go anymore. Whoever wants to go to Falling Star Ocean can go!
Ao Long can also understand Hong Li's change in mindset.
She's almost the same now, only thinking about returning to Black Sovereign Palace quickly and never coming out again.
Every time she goes too far from home, she suffers. She won't go out again in the future!
The two of them cried for a while, and finally decided unanimously to go home and never ask about the affairs of the martial world again.
"But where are we now?"
The surrounding sea was calm, with gentle waves and a sense of tranquility.
Leaving aside everything else, this sea is definitely safe.
Hong Li just asked subconsciously, and Ao Long looked around. On the blue sea surface, the waves gently surged, and amidst the waves, countless points of light flickered like stars.
And among the flickering lights, the points of light continuously gathered and eventually formed a rainbow bridge on the sea surface.
"The gathering of stars, the convergence of the Four Extremities, is this... the Dragon Transformation Abyss?"
Hong Li was so excited that her whole body was trembling.
Originally, after going through such a long period of tribulation, she was ready to give up.
Dragon Transformation is precious, but life is priceless.
There is nothing in this world worth sacrificing one's life for.
Except for rich women.
Hong Li didn't expect that just when she was about to give up, the Dragon Gate appeared before her and Ao Long.
The true Dragon Transformation Abyss, the real Dragon Gate, unexpectedly appeared in front of them without any warning.
There was no need to go to Falling Star Ocean at all. The so-called gathering of stars didn't have any stars at all, only the light of the sun.
It's really a case of finding something when you least expect it, without any effort.
"Quick, prepare to leap over the Dragon Gate. Once we cross the Dragon Gate, our good days will come!"
Hong Li became extremely spirited and was about to jump over the rainbow bridge.
Ao Long, on the other hand, was speechless. Just now, she had a calm and relaxed expression, ready to go home and lie down, but now she was all fired up.
But since it's the Dragon Gate, she should give it a try too...
...
In the sea area of the Inner Sea, the Ao Wu ship was moving rapidly on the sea.
Zhang Chi had good dreams every night, and his mental state had improved a lot.
He has now reached the stage of cultivating the Divine Soul, and after the secret meeting with Jiang Qingyun in his mind, he clearly felt that his Divine Soul power had strengthened.
Is this the effect of divine intercourse?
Zhang Chi was immersed in his cultivation and couldn't extricate himself, so these past few days, Jiang Qingyun had suffered quite a bit.
Even the magic mirror couldn't stand it anymore, and she sincerely said, "Do you know what will happen to a woman who is too lustful?"
"She will have a radiant appearance, abundant energy, a pleasant mood, and a comfortable body."
Jiang Qingyun listed many good examples in one breath, leaving the magic mirror speechless.
But it's true, Jiang Qingyun's words are flawless.
She was no longer the shy and embarrassed Jiang Qingyun who couldn't bear to be kissed by Zhang Chi. That night, she had grown too much.
So it was impossible for the magic mirror to bring up these topics to make Jiang Qingyun feel shy.
After experiencing all that, what is there to be shy about?
"Oh magic mirror, have you ever experienced what it's like to be a woman?"
Jiang Qingyun knew that the magic mirror was deliberately messing with her mindset, so she wanted to mess with the magic mirror's mindset in return.
Of course, the magic mirror didn't want to answer this question.
However, Jiang Qingyun brought out her bargaining power.
"For this question, I'll offer five units of desire in exchange for your answer."
Magic mirror: "..."
Are you a devil? You're willing to give five units of desire for something like this?
Exaggerated!
If it weren't for fear of spoiling the magic mirror, Jiang Qingyun could afford to give five thousand units of desire.
There were people everywhere, and she could easily harvest a large group of them.
"I refuse to answer this kind of question."
The magic mirror also had some dignity.
"Ten."
Magic mirror: "..."
Is this how you test ancient predecessors? She is an ancient Great Demon, can she be swayed by this kind of temptation?
"I refuse..."
"Fifteen."
Magic mirror: "..."
Just by answering some unimportant questions, she could earn fifteen units of desire. It doesn't seem like a bad deal!
Inside the magic mirror's mind, little people were already fighting.
One told her not to be reserved and to quickly take advantage of the food.
One told her not to sell herself out casually.
After much thought, the magic mirror finally set a price.
"This question is worth twenty-five units of desire."
"No problem, you can start answering now."
Jiang Qingyun, who was rich and bold, directly gave the desire to the magic mirror.
There may not be much else in the mortal world, but desires of the heart are abundant.
If the Demon Race were to come to the mortal world at this time, they would definitely eat until they were full.
So Jiang Qingyun didn't feel any pain in spending money to buy gossip.
And what she bought was not just gossip, but also the magic mirror's sense of shame.
After accepting the desire, the magic mirror straightforwardly answered Jiang Qingyun's question.
The Demon Race values contracts the most, so after receiving benefits, she directly answered the question.
"I haven't experienced it, after all, I was just a mirror at the beginning."
As the magic mirror spoke, she suddenly felt very ashamed.
She was a big shot in the Demon Dao, yet she was sharing her intimate secrets here for a little benefit.
How despicable!
She had actually been tempted.
Jiang Qingyun was too terrifying, she couldn't afford to provoke her in the future!
The magic mirror answered the question, but ultimately felt too ashamed to face anyone and wanted to run away.
However, Jiang Qingyun seized the opportunity and brought out a hundred units of desire, saying, "I'll give you so many desires, are you willing to enter my dreams on my behalf?" (End of this chapter)
