Chapter 342 What An Unlucky Koi
Chapter 342 What An Unlucky Koi
Upon hearing the task assigned by Gu Youyou, Ao Long felt an infinite disdain in her heart.
Is this man a pervert?
Nine transformations are not enough, now it's eighteen transformations?
Although Ao Long is a member of the Monster Race, after cultivating into human form, she also learned human etiquette and principles.
Humans cannot, or at least should not.
This Zhang Chi is simply a member of the demonic cult.
But no matter how contemptuous she felt in her heart, Ao Long dared not disobey Gu Youyou's orders.
"Oh, by the way, when you have time, help me find Hong Li. If you find her, you can control her, and I'll take care of the rest."
Ao Long: "......"
During her captivity, although there were long periods of time when she was separated from Hong Li, she was not stupid and was aware of Hong Li's situation.
To be honest, her feelings were quite complicated.
Although she didn't particularly like Hong Li, he was still her younger brother's fiancée.
Now that her younger brother is dead and his fiancée is being pursued by another man, as his older sister, she can't help but feel helpless. Not only that, she has to become an accomplice and capture Hong Li.
The more Ao Long thought about it, the more guilty she felt.
But she still couldn't refuse. This was her master's task, and she was controlled by a demonic seal, unable to resist.
"I'm sorry, little brother," Ao Long said in her heart.
Gu Youyou, however, didn't care about Ao Long's feelings. She gave her instructions and withdrew her divine sense.
She was feeling troubled and not in the mood to say more.
She sealed her five senses to avoid hearing Zhang Chi and Jin Ling'er's sweet words.
Ao Long, who received the order, also hurriedly left.
Ao Long also had her own calculations. The priority of the first task was higher, so she could prioritize it. As for the second task, as long as Hong Li didn't happen to fall into her hands, she could completely pretend to comply while secretly acting against it.
As for investigating the eighteen transformations cultivation method, Ao Long actually had a plan. The cultivation method was mainly researched by the human race, so it would be easier to find it in human forces.
This was a logical approach, but Ao Long chose to go against the grain.
"I'll start with the Sea Clan first and delay for a while. He can't accuse me of doing it on purpose."
This was also a loophole that Ao Long found.
As long as she could keep finding loopholes, she could continue to pretend to comply.
Of course, the premise was not to be discovered, otherwise the consequences would be severe.
For her first stop, Ao Long chose the Western Sovereign Palace.
The Black Emperor's Palace had a good relationship with the Western Sovereign Palace, so she could consider it as going there to have some fun.
Ao Long followed the Coiling Dragon River downstream at full speed, learning from her previous experience. This time, she concealed herself deeply, using the water flow to sneak.
She planned to follow this river straight to the mouth of the sea, and then take the sea route directly to the Western Sovereign Palace.
This way, the journey would be safer.
However, Ao Long didn't expect that as soon as she arrived in the downstream area, she sensed Hong Li's aura.
It was also because Hong Li had bad luck. With Hong Li's ability to hide in the water, Ao Long wouldn't have easily found her.
But who asked Hong Li to covet Ao Long's dragon essence blood before?
Although Zhang Chi had taken away ninety-nine percent of the dragon essence blood, the remaining trace still allowed Ao Long to sense it.
So, as soon as she sensed Hong Li's aura, Ao Long couldn't pretend anymore.
The restraint of the demonic seal was strong. She could secretly act against it within the rules, but she couldn't openly rebel.
The capture of Hong Li is a random task - if encountered, capture her; if not, there is no need to force it. However, if she is encountered and not captured, it will trigger the punishment mechanism of the magic seal.
Ao Long is helpless. Who made Hong Li so unlucky?
She can only quietly approach the direction where Hong Li is.
Using the surge of ink from her Divine Ability, Ao Long is able to dive underwater without being noticed by Hong Li. When Ao Long gets closer, she discovers that Hong Li is actually talking to a human.
Both of them only possess Divine Ability cultivation, so Ao Long silently lurks in the water, and they naturally cannot detect her.
"Are you sure you want to play this big?" Hong Li looks at the black-robed person in front of her in shock.
She knows who the other person is, and only then does she realize how courageous they are.
Hong Li thought that the other person had only moved Zhang Chi away, allowing her the opportunity to destroy the remaining three spiritual veins, which was already a big deal.
Unexpectedly, the other person is so crazy.
"We have reached a dead end. Since there is no way forward, we can only take a desperate gamble. If we win, everything will be fine. If we lose, we have already prepared ourselves mentally, haven't we?"
Hong Li: "..."
No, I haven't.
Hong Li still believes that she is a Daughter of Destiny. She has exceptional talent, and if it weren't for the damn formation of the Long Family, she would have long become a Monster Sovereign.
No one hates the formation more than Hong Li.
She should have had a bright future, and the River Monster Race also had a bright future. But because of this broken formation, her life has been full of ups and downs.
However, Hong Li would never risk her life to destroy the formation.
If she dies, then what meaning does everything she has done have?
Unlike Miao Qin, who still cares about her descendants, Hong Li has always only cared about herself.
"The future is long, Fellow Daoist, why be so anxious?"
Hong Li tries to persuade Miao Qin not to be too crazy.
But Miao Qin is someone who doesn't listen to advice. She has already made thorough plans.
"Everything is ready, Fellow Daoist, don't worry. You just need to do your part."
After saying that, Miao Qin turns and hurriedly leaves.
Watching her persistence, Hong Li also feels helpless.
Fortunately, the task assigned to her by her allies, although somewhat dangerous, is relatively safe compared to what her allies have to do.
At this point, she has no possibility of retreat, she can only give it her all!
Just as Hong Li has made up her mind, she suddenly has a creepy feeling.
She quickly realizes that something is not right and is about to use her ability to escape, but the water she is in freezes instantly.
"Hong Li, long time no see."
Hong Li: "..."
The one controlling her turns out to be Ao Long. Hong Li's heart relaxes a little. Fortunately, it's not Zhang Chi who caught her, otherwise, she would have to reminisce about her bitter past.
However, Ao Long's move to restrict her actions clearly indicates that she is not friendly.
Perhaps it's because she took the dragon blood but didn't handle things properly, and Ao Long is angry?
Thinking of this, she quickly explains, "Sister Long, last time I didn't intentionally deceive you with the dragon blood. It's just that the dragon blood was discovered and taken away by someone, and I was trapped all this time. I only managed to escape a few days ago and didn't have a chance to explain to you."
This is the strong survival instinct of a small carp.
When faced with difficulties, admit your mistakes first.
Unfortunately, this method worked against the previous Ao Long, but now Ao Long has no intention of dealing with Hong Li.
But she has no choice. Gu Youyou has already given the order to subdue Hong Li and then make arrangements.
Gu Youyou didn't expect that shortly after giving the order, Hong Li would be captured... (End of this chapter)
