Chapter 252: The Unfortunate Divine Ability Blossom
When Hong Li was grabbed by the disciples of Sword Sect, she felt confused in her heart.
Especially when she sensed that familiar aura, she felt even more fearful.
What does it mean for enemies to cross paths!
She was really unlucky.
It was all because she was already in a bad state, and then she was beaten by Ao Long, making her condition even worse. Suddenly facing an enemy, she was also affected by an unknown AOE.
However, she could have easily floated to any other place, so why did she end up in Sword Sect?
Is this some kind of joke, God!
And what she couldn't even imagine was that the man who had humiliated her turned out to be Zhang Chi, the renowned senior brother of Sword Sect.
This was truly a combination of new grievances and old hatred.
Hearing Zhang Chi ordering someone to throw her into the fish tank, Hong Li felt a glimmer of hope.
When she transformed into her true form and hid in the water, the water would help conceal her Monster Qi, making it impossible for people to see that she was a demon. They would just treat her as an ordinary carp.
As long as she wasn't discovered by Zhang Chi, once she recovered, she could use her ability to escape again.
After escaping, she would definitely expose Zhang Chi's hypocritical true nature.
However...
As soon as Hong Li entered the water, she encountered someone familiar.
At first glance, wasn't this an octopus?
Upon closer inspection, sister, what are you doing here too?
Hong Li began to suspect her own existence.
Who exactly is Zhang Chi, that even Ao Long can capture him?
For a moment, Hong Li felt terrified.
She had just been thinking that Zhang Chi was probably disguising himself as some old monster, but she felt that she had a chance to win.
But now, even Ao Long had entered the fish tank. Just how strong was Zhang Chi's power?
Was he not afraid of retaliation from the sea clan at all?
Or was it that Zhang Chi was someone who thrived on chaos?
While Hong Li was contemplating, a tentacle suddenly wrapped around her.
Although Ao Long was seriously injured, he could still sense the dragon energy and pure blood on Hong Li's body.
By eating this fish, his injuries would recover faster.
Only when his injuries were healed could he regain his strength and confront that cruel and brutal human.
Hong Li was immediately shocked. Ao Long was indeed injured, but her condition was even worse than his.
The transformation into a peng was an extremely powerful Divine Ability forbidden technique. It allowed her to temporarily gain extraordinary combat power by burning her essence and blood, but the side effects were also significant.
If it weren't for her carrying dragon blood and having a strong recovery ability, using it once would have killed her.
With the support of dragon blood, she could slowly recover, but during the recovery period, even a Qi Condensation cultivator could easily defeat her, not to mention that she had used the Divine Ability to escape earlier.
In short, she was as easy to kill as a fish right now.
Seeing that Ao Long was about to devour her, Hong Li used her divine sense to transmit her voice.
"Sister, it's me! I'm Hong Li!"
Since they were on the same side, she shouldn't have been attacked, right?
Upon hearing Hong Li's call, Ao Long's tentacles slightly stiffened.
Encountering someone familiar even here?
When she realized who Hong Li was, Ao Long tightened his grip on her tentacles even more.
She had fallen into someone else's fish tank, and this was something that couldn't be known by anyone.
She must be killed to keep her silent!
Anyway, Ao Yue is already dead, and Hong Li should have been buried with him. Now that she's dead at her hands, it can be considered a fitting end.
"You should have gone down to accompany my younger brother long ago. Today, falling into my hands, you can help me heal. Ao Yue will know and be grateful to you."
Hong Li: "......"
Is there no one to speak up for me?
Hong Li looked at the approaching big mouth and quickly dissuaded, "Sister, calm down. Cannibalism within the same clan will turn us into ghosts!"
"Even if I become an evil spirit, I don't want to be enslaved by others!"
Ao Long did not approve of this rule in her heart.
She has killed countless fish in the sea, and those fish can also be considered part of the marine clan. Why doesn't that count as cannibalism within the same clan?
Hong Li is a carp, and she is a squid. Why are they considered the same clan?
Ao Long completely disregarded this taboo and made a fierce statement.
"Don't say we're not from the same clan. Even if eating you will turn me into a ghost, I have no fear!"
However, just as Ao Long was about to succeed, a hand reached into the water and pulled Hong Li out.
"This is a new pet, no eating allowed. If you're hungry, I'll give you some meat from a fierce beast."
Zhang Chi said, while also patting Ao Long's head.
Patting the head is the most classic gesture of affection for a pet.
Although this pet is a bit strange, Zhang Chi still gave her high-quality care.
Then, he put Hong Li into a smaller fish tank and took out some fierce beast meat that Gu Youyou had processed from his storage ring.
Ao Long: "......"
Have I really become a pet?
Ao Long rejected it in her heart, but her body needed food to recover. Relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was too slow.
"Endure for now, and make plans after recovering the power of the Monster Sovereign."
Ao Long transformed into the shape of a fish that was enduring.
Zhang Chi spared Ao Long, but he didn't intend to spare Hong Li.
When they last parted ways, they agreed not to interfere with each other, canceling their debts.
But in Profound Heart Sect, Hong Li chose to chase after him and gave up a great advantage.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
If she hadn't come after him, the two elders of Dragon Transformation Palace wouldn't have taken action.
They took action, forcing Hong Li to use forbidden techniques. Now she was extremely weak, and it also led to Dragon Transformation Palace directly suppressing Water Monster, ultimately forcing Hong Li to flee for her life and fall into Zhang Chi's hands.
Look, isn't this self-inflicted misery?
Zhang Chi looked at Hong Li in the small fish tank and many dish names flashed through his mind.
Should it be steamed or braised?
Or should it be deep-fried and then eaten as grilled fish?
The Monster King should taste especially delicious!
Thinking of these, Zhang Chi directly took Hong Li into his private kitchen, then lifted her out of the water and threw her onto the cutting board, swiftly picking up a kitchen knife.
Hong Li's scales all felt like they were about to burst open.
She used to think of herself as a decisive queen, a brilliant figure who would eventually rule the world.
But now, she knew she was wrong.
Zhang Chi and Ao Long, who acted without hesitation, were the truly ruthless ones!
Zhang Chi didn't have any communication with her throughout the whole process, and his intentions were very clear.
Hong Li didn't even know if he recognized her, but she had a premonition.
If she didn't do something soon, Zhang Chi's knife would come down.
"Wait, haven't you recognized me yet?"
Hong Li chose to proactively expose her identity.
Although it was humiliating, she couldn't afford to think too much about it at this moment, for the sake of her survival.
As long as there is life, there is the qualification to talk about honor and dignity, just like the saying "as long as there are green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood."
"So what if you recognize me? If you want to kill me, be prepared to be killed by me."
Zhang Chi swung his knife, but Hong Li quickly dodged it on the chopping board, narrowly avoiding the strike.
"I was wrong. What do you want me to do for you to spare me?"
"After sparing you, will you give up on seeking revenge?"
"I will give up, I promise I will give up!"
Hong Li anxiously responded. She was truly afraid. She had thought that being married for a day would earn her some gratitude from Zhang Chi, but she didn't expect him to show no mercy.
At this moment, she couldn't afford to be reserved anymore. She could clearly feel that Zhang Chi truly wanted to kill her.
So she quickly pleaded for mercy. If she was any slower, she would end up in the pot today.
However, Hong Li didn't know that her ability to adapt and compromise only strengthened Zhang Chi's desire to kill her.
He had already obtained the Water Spirit Body and the Dragon Blood. Hong Li had lost all her value as a tool. If he didn't kill her now, then when?
He would make a pot of carp soup later to please the junior disciples of the Sword Sect.
Zhang Chi fell into silence, causing Hong Li to panic.
To kill or not to kill, his silence indicated that Zhang Chi was calculating.
Once he finished calculating, it would be time to pass judgment on her.
Hong Li knew that she had to present enough bargaining chips while she still had the ability to speak, otherwise Zhang Chi might really kill her.
"I have another big secret. If you spare me, I will tell you."
"It just so happens that I'm never interested in other people's secrets. Besides, even if I know your secret, can you really let go of your grudge in the future?"
"I promise, I will never be your enemy again. I can swear on it."
Looking at the kitchen knife in Zhang Chi's hand, Hong Li was truly afraid.
She worried that if she continued to drag on like this, Zhang Chi would lose patience and not listen to her secret. So she quickly threw out a bait.
"The reason why I have multiple Divine Abilities is related to this secret."
Zhang Chi still wasn't very interested, but Gu Youyou, on the other hand, was more knowledgeable.
She reminded him, "Agree to her conditions."
"?"
Zhang Chi didn't understand. He hadn't realized the value of this secret, but since Hong Li brought it out to save her life, it must be important.
Gu Youyou explained, "Her Divine Ability is very special. You should listen to it. With her strength, she won't cause any trouble."
"..."
Do you know that being so confident will lead to your downfall?
Gu Youyou and Zhang Chi were different. Zhang Chi believed in the saying "cut the grass and remove the roots, and the spring breeze will blow again."
When he had enemies, he was constantly worried that they would plot against him.
If he couldn't deal with them, they might target the people around him.
Therefore, the most permanent solution was to eliminate all enemies in this world.
As long as the enemies died cleanly enough, he would feel at ease.
But Gu Youyou had an invincible heart. She had never encountered a worthy opponent since birth. She would spare others when necessary, waiting for them to chase after her.
This was the pride and confidence of a strong person.
So, would she really become Zhang Chi's dependent little wife?
They called it a partner, but it was no different from being an employee.
She was just too confident.
In the past, she would never have ended up in such a situation if she had killed anyone who opposed her.
Zhang Chi didn't know where Gu Youyou got the courage to teach using negative examples.
However, Gu Youyou rarely expressed her opinions, so Zhang Chi decided to show her some respect.
Compared to Gu Youyou, Hong Li's threat was indeed not significant. He could do something to her later.
"If you want to stay alive, you must swear that you will never be enemies with me or the people around me in the future. Otherwise, I would rather not know this secret and kill you first."
Upon hearing Zhang Chi's words, Hong Li knew she had no choice.
If she didn't agree, Zhang Chi might really kill her.
Of course, Hong Li also felt that Zhang Chi was taking advantage of the situation, but now that she was in a desperate situation, she had no choice but to swear as Zhang Chi said, while also demanding that Zhang Chi swear.
After hearing her secret, Zhang Chi promised readily, but he sneered inwardly.
He could refrain from killing, but he had ways to deal with Hong Li.
He wouldn't rely on oaths, and Gu Youyou might not be reliable either.
At most, she could protect herself for twenty years. After twenty years, Zhang Chi didn't know if he would be a match for Hong Li.
If Gu Youyou left, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Therefore, only his own means were worth relying on.
Seeing that both of them made a vow, Hong Li didn't think there was a problem and began to reveal her secret.
She indeed possessed many Divine Abilities. Usually, a cultivator in the Divine Ability Realm would master two to three Divine Abilities, including one that was their innate Divine Ability.
If they had an Innate Divine Ability, they would add it on top of that.
Having too many Divine Abilities would be counterproductive to cultivation.
Cultivators learned multiple Divine Abilities to protect themselves.
After using their innate Divine Ability in a fight, if they couldn't use it again in a short period of time, would they just stand by and watch?
Although those with strong Divine Abilities had powerful True Qi and Divine Souls, and could also use Immortal Laws, they were still far inferior to Divine Abilities with unique powers.
That's why cultivators would master one or two other Divine Abilities as backups while their innate Divine Ability cooled down.
However, Hong Li's mastery of Divine Abilities was too much. It didn't seem like she had any backup Divine Abilities; it seemed like each one was her innate Divine Ability, or even her gifted Divine Ability.
However, Hong Li was young, and she didn't have the energy to display so many Divine Abilities. A person's innate Divine Abilities were also limited. Having one was already lucky, having two was a genius.
Having three or four would be considered a natural-born Saint.
"I have so many Divine Abilities. Except for Transforming Peng and Carefree Travel, which are gifted Divine Abilities, the rest are self-taught. Others can only have one innate Divine Ability, but the Divine Abilities I use are all innate Divine Abilities."
When Hong Li was born, she was considered a genius, having two innate Divine Abilities. It was already impressive to have one in thousands of years.
These two Divine Abilities were very powerful, but they were not useful most of the time.
Transforming Peng could only be used when she was in a desperate situation. After using it, if she couldn't properly settle herself, she would end up in her current desperate situation.
Carefree Travel was purely an auxiliary function.
Either run away or travel, it had nothing to do with direct combat.
With two mediocre innate Divine Abilities, Hong Li became so strong because she had multiple innate Divine Abilities.
Seeing Zhang Chi's serious expression, Hong Li didn't dare to keep him in suspense and continued speaking.
"I can have so many innate Divine Abilities because I don't cultivate Divine Ability flowers. I cultivate the Unity Tree. Divine Ability flowers can only bloom alone, but the Unity Tree can branch out into many branches, each representing a Divine Ability.
I only need to nourish the main trunk, and when I need to use a certain Divine Ability, the Unity Tree will transfer my power to the corresponding branch. All the Divine Abilities share the same main trunk, so every Divine Ability I have is an innate Divine Ability."
Being able to cultivate multiple Divine Abilities without expending extra energy was the power of the Unity Tree.
No wonder Gu Youyou had objections. This time, she was really right.
Gu Youyou: "..."
Is there such an outrageous thing in the world?
