Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Ni Yun (3)_1
"...After following Master to many places, I learned that Xuanyue Continent is just a tiny low-ranked domain, and there are many other domains in this world. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find you, but unexpectedly, I ran into you," said Bei Tong, finishing their tale with a still heavy heart when mentioning Silver’s passing.
Having heard Bei Tong’s words, Dugu Qianye thought of how Silver was turned into a dried corpse and reproached herself, "Back then, I overlooked the temple’s despicable nature, never expecting them to make everyone in the Phantom Sea Domain consume Light Star Grass. Otherwise, Grandfather White..."
"Sister, don’t blame yourself, everything is arranged by fate," Bei Tong consoled Dugu Qianye instead.
Xiaohuo chuckled on the side and said, "Tongtong is now even older than you, but you still call her sister. Hahaha, that’s so funny!"
The little Baiqiu on Dugu Qianye’s shoulder also burst into laughter, exclaiming, "I’m dying of laughter! I’m dying of laughter!"
"Hehe." Hearing Xiaohuo and Little Baiqiu’s laughter, Bei Tong also smiled embarrassingly.
"Did you say your master is Ni Yun?" Hao Pengyou, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and looked at Bei Tong to ask.
"Yes! My master is indeed Ni Yun," Bei Tong responded.
"What’s the matter, senior brother?" Dugu Qianye looked at Hao Pengyou’s odd expression and inquired.
Hao Pengyou sighed and said, "He can’t call you sister, and you can’t call him brother."
"Why not?" Xiaohuo asked.
"Because he is our grand-disciple," Hao Pengyou replied.
"Grand-disciple?"
Seeing several pairs of questioning eyes, Hao Pengyou nodded and explained, "Our grand-master is Ni Yun. Our master is Shi Honggui."
"Cough cough!" Bei Tong choked on his saliva upon hearing Hao Pengyou’s words. He had heard his master mention Shi Honggui before, as one of his few proud disciples.
Dugu Qianye was also taken aback by Hao Pengyou’s revelation, coughing before saying, "Cough cough, grand-disciple. Cough cough, this... Grand-disciple, how come you are here?"
Hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, Xiaohuo and Little Baiqiu couldn’t help but laugh disrespectfully again.
"Just call me Tongtong, and I’ll call you Qianye," Bei Tong said.
"Okay then." Dugu Qianye herself found it awkward. It was strange enough to see someone younger than herself looking older, and now this person turned out to be her grand-disciple; even she was having a hard time accepting it. "Tongtong, is grand-master nearby?"
"No. Where we live is very far from here, it’s about a dozen days’ travel," Bei Tong answered.
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I’m here to collect Black Sting Tail Spikes and honey," Bei Tong responded, "I’m developing an elixir, but it requires the tail spikes of a Black Sting and the honey it brews. Black Stings are only found around this area, so I came here. You’re trying to find Master, aren’t you? I’ll be done collecting soon, and then I can take you back. Outsiders always have trouble finding the way there, and you grand-disciples always use the Transmission Array to return directly, so you’d definitely not find the way."
Hearing Bei Tong mention this, Hao Pengyou looked around somewhat unnaturally. Seeing a huge beehive on a nearby tree, he asked, "Is it that one?"
Bei Tong nodded and said, "At night, the Black Stings come back, and just before dawn is when their guard is the weakest. That’s when we can sneak up and catch a few of the guards outside."
"Are Black Stings very powerful?" Seeing how cautious Bei Tong was, Xiaohuo asked.
"A single Black Fury isn’t much, but if it’s a swarm of Black Furies, even those below the Divine Emperor wouldn’t dare to face them easily. I heard that an Advance Level Divine King died from their stings because he accidentally chopped into a beehive," Dugu Qianye said.
"They’re that powerful?!" Hao Pengyou reacted strongly, as he hadn’t reached the Divine Venerable level yet.
"Just a bunch of Black Furies. Watch me!" Xiaohuo finished speaking and strode toward the beehive.
"Hey, Xiaohuo..." Bei Tong saw that Xiaohuo was really going over and shouted anxiously, "Qianye, call her back quickly."
Dugu Qianye watched Xiaohuo and said, "It’s fine, don’t worry. Just wait for her to bring back the things for you."
"Really?" Bei Tong was still somewhat skeptical. But the scene before him silenced him.
Xiaohuo walked over, picked up a branch from the ground, and after a few unsuccessful attempts to reach, she angrily threw the branch away and turned to shout, "Xiaoteng!"
"Swoosh—" a vine whip flew out from Dugu Qianye’s hand, landing perfectly in Xiaohuo’s hand. The Vine Emperor situated a little flower on Dugu Qianye’s hand and said, "Make do with this."
Xiaoteng controlled the vine in Xiaohuo’s hand, slowly extending it until Xiaohuo nodded in satisfaction before stopping.
"Can Xiaohuo handle it alone?" Bei Tong said worriedly.
"She can," Dugu Qianye said with a smile, reassuring him.
Bei Tong also wanted to relax but when he saw Xiaohuo whip the vine onto the beehive in one swift motion, he got so scared that he shut his eyes tight.
"Silly Tongtong, Sister Xiaohuo is very powerful. Hahaha! Go Sister Xiaohuo! I’m rooting for you!" Little Baiqiu waved its two small paws excitedly, cheering.
Hearing Little Baiqiu’s cheers, Xiaohuo whipped the beehive two more times. The beehive shook and seemed ready to fall.
"Xiaohuo..." Bei Tong wanted to call Xiaohuo back quickly, but seeing that Dugu Qianye and the others were silent, he decided to just watch.
Soon, a few Black Furies flew out of the beehive, looked at Xiaohuo below, and flew back in. Then they flew out again, followed by one, two, three, four...
More and more Black Furies came flying down, surrounding Xiaohuo, but she didn’t seem tense. She toyed with the vine in her hand while talking to the Black Furies.
"What is Xiaohuo telling them? Could it be another attempt at subduing a Spiritual Beast?" Hao Pengyou speculated, watching Xiaohuo communicate with the other side.
"It’s possible," said Dugu Qianye, who was very familiar with Xiaohuo. To encounter such a group-loving Spiritual Beast, it was typical of her to enjoy and possibly lure them into the Refining Demon Pot.
The Black Furies and Xiaohuo faced off for a while until one of the Black Furies flew back to the nest and brought out the Bee King. As soon as Dugu Qianye and Hao Pengyou saw the Bee King, they confirmed their guess, and Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but touch her forehead in resignation.
Bei Tong didn’t understand why Dugu Qianye would have such an expression. When he looked toward Xiaohuo again, she was already coming back with a large group of Black Furies.
"Bei Tong, I’ve sorted it out. Dada told me to give you some honey and stingers later," Xiaohuo said proudly to Bei Tong.
"Who is Dada?" Little Baiqiu asked.
"Dada is this one— the Bee King; its name is Dada," Xiaohuo pointed to the Bee King that had landed on her shoulder and said, "Sister, Dada says it’s willing to make a contract with you. Take them in!"
