Chapter Nine, The Beauty's Journey

In the blink of an eye, the sea beast lunged at me with great ferocity. I extended my crimson claws, swiftly grasping the beast's spine, and with a powerful tug, I aimed to tear it apart

The sea princess snorted: "That depends on whether you are honest or not"

Gan Ning nodded slightly: "It should be so. The Meiwuyujian has changed hands several times, yet no one has ever been able to comprehend its intricacies. Everyone is captivated by the enchanting dance of the green smoke; who would pay attention to the scene at the bottom of the basin?"

With a dazzling flash of light, the Sea Princess arrived just in time, delivering dozens of swift strikes with her palm, bringing the Water Eye Spotted Shark Beast crashing down into the sea

The three beautiful women looked at me in surprise, and Gan Ning sighed softly: "So the secret of the enchanting dance has been uncovered by you."

The water-eyed spotted shark beast let out a cry and was kicked away

The flames spread, and the sea beast's head remained unharmed. I was momentarily stunned, and only then did I feel fear. My neck grew tighter, my body heavier, and my blood was forced to flow backward

It was a peculiar sea creature, with two tusks curved into a ring, thick three-lobed lips, and a network of blood vessels densely covering its surface. Its body resembled that of a human, but beneath its robust elbows were two flat fins that swayed slowly.

Now the appearance

They worry about me and are also happy for me. Perhaps all of this is merely due to the vow of reincarnation. Yet even so, I am already very happy and very grateful

The azure sea stretches endlessly

You have been forgotten by the passage of time

"That's great, little rascal! With this, you will surely make a name for yourself in the Northern Territory!" The sea princess exclaimed joyfully. Jiu Danmei also expressed her delight, saying, "We should celebrate for the little lecher. The ultimate martial skill of Meiwu is unparalleled in the world, having been lost for many years, yet you have mastered it. This is indeed a stroke of great fortune. Hmm, I will go catch a few of the freshest red phosphorus fish from the sea to reward you, my clever little lecher."

I hope you will not forget

Jiu Danmei's eyes lit up: "I understand what you mean." She shouted loudly at me: "Little lecher, this is a great opportunity for you to train. Don't forget, you are the reincarnated Dragon Butterfly Demon King. I believe in you; you can definitely defeat this Water Eye Spotted Shark Beast."

The sea princess stamped her foot and said, "You little rascal, be careful now."

Treading upon the dust and frost of the path

Cease discussing the act of grooming before the mirror

Gan Ning was staring at me intently when she suddenly said, "The move you just used to kick away the Water Eye Spotted Shark Beast was the Charm Dance, wasn't it"

I swallowed hard: "Really? Are you truly willing to give it to me?"

Upon hearing the sound of a sword's cry

Oh no! The meat of this sea beast is tough, and the red claws cannot tear it apart

The orderly flowing cloud light stone stream within the body suddenly began to dash about chaotically

But it is already sufficient

I am overjoyed, haha, I have actually grasped the true essence of the enchanting dance. No wonder I was able to kick the Water Eye Spotted Shark Beast away just now.

Meanwhile, the chaotic flow of cloud stones and flying elixirs within the body suddenly came to a halt. At that moment, the essence of the cloud stone solidified!

Jiu Danmei and Hai Ji lunged forward, but Gan Ning suddenly floated up, her sword sheath blocking their path, preventing the two from advancing.

The sea breeze gently caresses, and everyone remains silent, quietly, quietly savoring the tranquility of this moment

Gan Ning looked at me in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that you could also compose poetry"

I stuck my tongue out at her, then turned to Qiu Danmei and said, "By the way, along the way, have you seen that guy who cast a spell on you?"

It turns out that besides my father, there are also people who are happy for me. I know how difficult it is for someone like me to receive a genuine smile.

The sea beast let out a roar, suddenly arched its back, and a tremendous force propelled me high into the air, flinging me into the sky. Before I could fall into the water, the sea beast had already leapt out of the surface, its arms spread wide, tightly gripping my neck, its eyes radiating a glare of hatred. I could barely catch my breath as its red claws struck again, seizing the beast's forehead, and a fireball erupted violently.

Time flies like an arrow

The Sea Princess shook her head: "The Charm Dance Jade Mirror has truly become ineffective. In my opinion, there is no martial skill at all in the Charm Dance."

Soaring and soaring

I have also descended to the underworld to embrace the moon

Soaring and soaring

I exclaimed in anger: "So what? Am I not allowed to learn the art of charm?"

Life is so beautiful. It turns out that my life can also be this beautiful

The golden snail sways with the waves, I touch my swollen belly, the red phosphorus fish and the colorful oyster are truly delicious, so fresh that I almost swallowed my tongue.

Soaring and soaring

I sat cross-legged, and the cloud light stone flow had long since completely solidified into cloud stone essence within me. The water-eyed spotted shark beast grasped my neck, causing my blood to flow backward, which unexpectedly turned into a blessing in disguise, allowing me to cultivate the cloud light stone flow essence. At that moment, I felt as if my entire body had become as hard as cloud stone; even if struck violently with clubs or sticks, I would remain unharmed

Back on the golden spiral, I let out a heavy snort at Gan Ningzhen. Damn it, she almost played me to death. Fortunately, I am blessed with great fortune and luck.

The Sea Princess smiled and said, "Since you love the ocean so much, why not come and visit my Palace of Oceanic Veins? The Palace of Oceanic Veins is built at the bottom of the sea. The sea view there is much more beautiful than here"

Jiu Danmei nodded repeatedly: "At this rate, we will soon evolve and reach the realm of monster form."

The furnace within the dantian trembled violently, and the flow of cloud light and stone essence seemed to undergo some peculiar transformation

The waves splashed white foam, and a seabird glided by, its wings and tips of its feathers glinting with a hint of silver under the brilliant sunlight

The sea at night is very calm

I enviously stared at the Snow Spirit Brain; if I had such a thing, I would no longer fear any heavenly tribulations

Boom! The sea beast was caught off guard, struck by the fireball and left in a charred state. I laughed heartily, grasping the sea beast's flat fin with my bare claws, pulling downwards and tearing it in half. A surge of blood gushed out, instantly staining the surrounding seawater red

Time has held onto you

The sea princess glanced at me, then looked at Jiu Danmei, and said with a hint of annoyance: "Little rascal, what are you talking about? I can't understand a word of it"

The sea princess smiled like a flower: "The little rascal is quite formidable now; even the transformed water-eyed spotted shark beast is no match for you."

I was still in shock: "Why isn't my fireball killing it?"

I stretch lazily: "Not for any particular reason, just asking casually."

The melodious sound of the xiao suddenly resonated. At an unknown moment, the Sea Princess and Jiu Danmei leaped out of the sea. The Sea Princess took out a golden xiao and, accompanied by the enchanting song of Gan Ning, played a graceful melody. Jiu Danmei smiled charmingly, gracefully descending before me, her arms lightly raised, dancing with me.

"How strange?" I scratch my head: "What is its use?"

I hope you will not forget.

Do not rejoice too early. Gan Ning's voice came coldly: Your demonic power is too weak; even if you strike the enemy countless times with your enchanting dance, they will not suffer much damage.

I jumped onto the tip of the rock, took off my shoes, and soaked my bare feet in the seawater, making a "splash splash" sound as I stepped on the water. More than ten flying fish leaped up beside my feet, then dove back into the waves, creating streaks of shimmering light. I shouted in excitement; everything on the sea was truly fresh and interesting

The sea princess's face flushed: "You little rascal, always so unserious. If you keep talking nonsense, I will cut out your slippery tongue"

Jiu Danmei apologetically said, "We were careless, thinking it was just an ordinary water-eyed spotted shark beast."

Unable to see the predecessors

I have had enough, enough.

The sunlight shone on the milky white earlobes of the sea princess, reflecting golden downy hair, incredibly splendid. I gazed at the three beauties, feeling inspired, and recited with a nod and shake of my head: "On the third day of the third month, the weather is fresh, and there are many beautiful women by the waters of Chang'an. Their demeanor is rich and their intentions profound, both gentle and genuine, with delicate skin and well-proportioned features"

I wore a mischievous smile: "Because I swore an oath to explore every inch of your body. If I don't find that guy and kill him, how can I fulfill my spring dream?"

The sea princess anxiously said: "This is the ferocious Water Eye Spotted Shark Beast! How can it possibly fight back in such a weakened state? Gan Ning, what are you planning? Have you forgotten the Cycle of Poison Oath?"

I was suddenly embarrassed: "This is a work titled 'The Beauty's Journey' written by an old man with the surname Du, which I could never write. However, observing the mindset of beautiful women, hee hee, men are all quite similar."

I rolled my eyes at her: "I will not become complacent; I will diligently cultivate and enhance my demonic power. Just wait and see."

The two individuals resembled two beautiful mermaids, gracefully leaping into the sea, and suddenly my eyes stung with emotion, prompting me to hurriedly turn my head away

Help! My eyes are spinning, beautiful ladies, hurry and come to my rescue

Do not ask for whom the past soared.

Seeing their anxious expressions, all my complaints suddenly vanished.

Jiu Danmei sighed in frustration, casually tossing the jade mirror into the sea

Gan Ning's expression was indifferent: "I hope so."

Gan Ning stood among the snow lotuses, suddenly drawing his sword and singing

Only three thousand weak waters remain flowing

The singing voice is clear and pure, like the whitest snow atop the mountain peak

With a "pop," as the energy surged through, the double arms of the water-eyed spotted shark beast were flung away from my neck. Suddenly, a graceful dance pose flashed through my mind. Without a second thought, I twisted my waist as if dancing, bending my left leg slightly while my right foot traced a beautiful arc, elegantly kicking out.

I hope you will not forget.

Jiu Danmei explained: "The sea beasts that are about to attain spiritual transformation have mostly refined into true water of Samadhi, thus they are not afraid of fire"

I will go too. The colorful oysters at the bottom of the sea are truly the best delicacy. The sea princess laughed and said, "It will definitely make you crave it to death"

I raised my eyebrows and winked: "Would you consider becoming a son-in-law? I can think about it. After all, right now, I have a large bag of gold and silver as a betrothal gift"

My gaze meets the starlight

I was cursing up a storm in my belly, nearly suffocating. The head of this water-eyed spotted shark beast is made of some unknown material, as hard as a block of iron. My red claws tore through its surface, but I could no longer penetrate deeper.

The brilliant stars are embedded in the night sky

The wind blows against the face

Jiu Danmei couldn't help but giggle, and every time she laughed, my gaze was always drawn to the waves in front of her chest. The Sea Princess shot me a glare and resumed her own training.

The refreshing sea breeze, humid yet warm, and the continuous sound of the waves constitute the sweetest dream

Jiu Danmei was taken aback: "So you still remember the drunken words from that night. You were shouting to come out, was it for...?"

Excitedly standing up, I gestured with my hands and feet, unknowingly striking a pose of enchanting dance. Over ninety different dance forms flowed through my mind, clear as the water of a mountain stream.

When I was held by the water-eyed shark beast, their anxiety; after I learned the enchanting dance, their joy. In the precious silence we shared as our quartet's song and dance came to an end.

The white clouds drift leisurely, the waves roll vigorously, I dance gracefully, my limbs move freely, the snow-white lotus garment from www.hetushu.com seems to flutter lightly, as if it is about to ride the wind and soar away

Dye your temples white

Jiu Danmei fell silent for a moment and said, "In fact, you don't have to take it seriously"

There are no arrivals either

It was a sea creature identical to the one before, but its size was several times larger. Triangular fins stood erect on its back, resembling sharp blades. It opened its massive mouth and sprayed long, thick jets of water at me.

I was just about to take the sea beast away when, not far off, a turbulent undercurrent surged rapidly towards us

"Little Wolf, are you alright?" Jiu Danmei also arrived, looking at me with concern. Hai Ji's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of anxiety as she reached out her soft hand to touch my neck, letting out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, your neck isn't broken; you scared me to death."

Upon hearing the sound of a sword's cry

He can handle it

Do not forget

After joking for a while, Jiu Danmei took out the Jade Mirror of Enchantment from her bosom, pondered over it for half a day, and then immersed it in the sea. This time, the jade mirror did not emit green smoke.

The Snow Spirit Brain not only aids in cultivation but also helps resist heavenly tribulations. Hai Ji gently tossed the Snow Spirit Brain into the air, inhaling and exhaling, as it spun continuously, with strands of blood emerging, glowing a deep red. With a soft sound, a strand of blood seeped from the Snow Spirit Brain, transforming into a drop of red liquid upon encountering the wind. Hai Ji gently swallowed the red liquid, and the golden armor on her body seemed to shine even brighter

Oh no! Faintly, I heard Jiu Danmei's exclamation: "This is not an ordinary water-eyed spotted shark beast. Look at its eyes; it is about to cultivate into a spirit!"

Are they really happy for me

Soaring and soaring

I want to cry but have no tears, damn it, do you believe me? I don't even believe in myself! I need to exercise; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so why rush? Gan Ning, you filthy witch, you deceive the masses with your seductive words; even if I become a ghost, I will seek you out for revenge

The cauldron suddenly opened, and the essence of the cloud stone burst forth from the furnace, surging up from the lower abdomen, along the chest cavity, all the way up!

There is always a sword with a cold gleam

I curiously asked: "What exactly is this thing"

I nodded vigorously: "I will definitely be honest. As the saying goes, it is most difficult to bear the kindness of a beautiful woman. You are so deeply affectionate towards me, that when I see other women, I will certainly be completely honest."

I feel uneasy; could it be that I have killed its son, and now it has come to settle the score with me

The sea princess winked at me, as if she understood my intentions: "I will use it to enhance my meridian armor technique, and when it is no longer needed in the future, I will return it to you."

Because at that moment, I was no longer the neglected wanderer of Luoyang. At that moment, I had someone who cared. At that moment, I was truly, truly happy

My gaze can surprisingly penetrate over ten meters of seawater, allowing me to see the scenes below. A large black creature is slowly emerging from behind the coral, approaching us.

I stood on the tip of the spiral, tilted my head back, faced the brilliant starry sky, and opened my arms

So this is the ocean, I exclaimed excitedly, gesturing with my hands and feet. I, along with Jiu Danmei and Haiji, was standing on a gigantic golden seashell, sailing swiftly eastward through the waves. Gan Ningzhen lay amidst the snow lotus flowers, the pure white blossoms swaying with the blue sea, her long black hair reflecting the brilliant shimmer of the ocean waves.

Gan Ning's expression was calm: "This time, it is merely a ferocious sea beast; next time, it may be countless experts from the Nine Heavens. There will always come a time when we are entangled by the enemy, leaving us no time to care for him. At that moment, who besides himself can save him"

The song abruptly ceased, while the sound of the flute lingered, drifting between the blue sky and the azure sea. Jiu Danmei's waist arched backward, holding a graceful pose, motionless. My more than ninety enchanting dances had just concluded at this moment

It is a rare creature—the brain of the Snow Spirit. The Snow Spirit grows in impoverished and harsh environments. If one were to classify it as an animal, it takes root in the mud for years and can bloom and bear fruit. If one were to classify it as a plant, it possesses a brain and facial features. Once it detects an attempt to capture it, it will immediately vanish.

The beautiful women have all taken their rest, and I stand on the tip of the spiral, gazing at them as scenes from the day flash before my eyes

The sea princess took out half a snow spirit brain and said proudly, "This one is still effective."

Perhaps, one day, they will leave me, just like forgetting a period of time. At that moment, I will once again become a neglected wanderer

I opened my mouth wide, what is this? Am I not mistaken? The ultimate martial arts technique that even three beautiful masters could not learn has been comprehended by me, a lowly person? I hurriedly told them what I saw of the enchanting dance, and the three beauties were stunned for a long time. Jiu Danmei suddenly realized, "So the enchanting dance that appeared at the bottom of the water basin is the true martial arts technique, while those green smoke dances are merely illusions meant to confuse people"

I vow to ascend to the highest heavens and slay the dragon

Jiu Danmei was taken aback: "Goddess Gan, what is this?"

In a drunken stupor, I lift my head and dream of returning

On the dark sea surface, waves shimmer with streaks of glistening white.

Hehe, dinner delivered right to my door. I shouted and charged at the sea beast, my red claws darting out like lightning, and a blazing fireball erupted from the center of my claws. Relying on the dragon butterfly claws, I acted without restraint

My vision gradually blurred, at that moment, the water-eyed spotted shark beast emitted a yellowish dark glow from its eyes, its arms tightened once more, and with a "thud," a sudden chill spread through my body

Jiu Danmei lay on her back, gazing at the drifting white clouds in the azure sky, lost in thought. I simply took off my clothes and jumped into the sea, swimming freely for a while

Upon hearing the sound of a sword's cry
