Chapter Six: Being Struck by Lightning While Showing Off

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

What is the matter with your father, the emperor? Is there anyone who can move him? asked Luoxia

The princess—"Piao Miao" did not dare to move, for it is known that Princess Fu Mi is one who can have her head severed and blood spilled, but her hairstyle must never be disheveled. Anyone who hinders her beauty will face her wrath.

Oh. This small conch shell is a pair, originally a betrothal gift sent by the eldest prince of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to propose to the Dragon Girl of the South China Sea. After he saw me, he transferred it to me, while the other one is still in his possession. Once I find my father, I will go to him to obtain the other one as well.

Fu Mi said: "My father has gone missing, and my niece has come to request the elders to descend the mountain to protect the people of Lianzhou."

"We only know men, joy, women, and love. Our Lotus Clan has no princesses like you. Get lost!" A sharp female voice echoed from the sky, followed by a bolt of heavenly thunder that struck Fu Mi directly

"You cannot invite her; my aunt has a stubborn personality. If I do not personally go to invite her, she will just watch Lianzhou perish without lifting a finger." Fu Mi sighed, "Unreasonable women are truly terrifying."

The speed of the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus Chariot is extremely fast, covering ten thousand miles in a single day; however, even so, it will still take Fei Mi and the others three days to return to the Sacred Lotus Palace

Fumi sincerely tidied her hair in front of the Searched Sky Mirror, adjusted her sideburns, straightened her dress, and then proceeded to walk up the mountain

Fumie turned back and said, "I must first go to the Sacred Pool to take a look"

All speculations are unfounded. Although Fu Mi is anxious, she must first return to the Holy Lotus Palace. Fortunately, the Holy Lotus Palace has not been attacked, and the matter of the disappearance of the Lotus Empress is known only to Fu Mi and those around her

Fu Mi remained noncommittal, "When my father encountered trouble, that esteemed one was right in front of me; it is impossible for both events to occur simultaneously. I just do not know if he had companions, or what he sought after?" Fu Mi furrowed her brows, unable to come up with a reason.

Fumi lowered her head somewhat aggrieved and said, "I swear, I haven't said a word to the Crown Prince of Donghai."

Fumie silently recited a spell and dripped a drop of blood onto her hand, "Go, find my father."

Fumi nodded and said, "I am concerned about the people of Lianzhou. If we could invite Aunt Luoxia to come down from the mountain to protect them, even if those people have designs on the Holy Lotus Palace, at least Aunt Luoxia can still safeguard the citizens."

Fu Mi pouted, feeling both angry and unable to express it. However, she was indeed determined to improve herself. If she continued to be toyed with like this by Aunt Luo Xia, her title as the most beautiful woman in the three thousand states would surely be at risk

Fumiao said: "Aunt, your teachings are indeed correct. From now on, I will certainly repent for my past mistakes and start anew, working diligently day and night. I only ask that, considering the affection of my father, you can protect the people of Lianzhou, whom he cares for the most, during this uncertain time of his life and death."

Since the other party has taken action against Lianzhou, it must be for a specific purpose. However, based on Fu Mi's observations of Rong Ya's demeanor, she cannot imagine that Lianzhou possesses anything that would attract his interest. This is because, regardless of the treasures Lianzhou may have, she would prefer to offer them in exchange for the Five Elements Heavenly Lotus, making it unnecessary for Rong Ya to go to such lengths.

Princess!" Piaomiao looked at Fumi in disbelief, "Has the situation become this serious?"

Fumi sighed, "If Xiao Pu cannot find Father, it will be troublesome. I just checked the spiritual root left by Father in the Sacred Pool; although it is somewhat wilted, it is not in danger of life"

So you are the culprit behind the broken engagement between the Crown Prince of the East Sea and the Dragon Princess of the South Sea!" Piaomiao exclaimed with wide eyes

Miao Miao covered her mouth and smiled, saying: "Just like the colorful birds roasted by the princess in Apricot Blossom Village"

Princess, can dandelions be used in this way?

Misty and foolishly gazing at the "white hair" enveloping the Holy Lotus Palace, gradually dispersing with the wind

Piao Miao felt a sense of worry, "Princess, please allow me to go. Elder Luo Xia has many misunderstandings about the princess. If the princess were to go, I fear that..."

Fumie nodded and said, "Damn it, if only the other one were in my hands, I could talk to Father Emperor anytime."

Fumi shook her head, "No, it was forcibly severed the connection of spiritual awareness between my father and me. If my father had truly fallen, there would have been no need for the other party to do this."

Piao Miao is an excellent maid, never questioning any of Fu Mi's actions, no matter how incredible they may seem. In her heart, Piao Miao only feels pity for Fu Mi, as she must be the most helpless with the disappearance of the Lotus Emperor. At this moment, it is entirely understandable for her to come to the Hundred Flowers Garden to relax.

"It shouldn't be him." Fei Mi suddenly recalled the boundary marker, "I suspect it is related to the boundary marker issue. After I parted ways with my father that day, he mentioned wanting to investigate the boundary marker matter. I wonder if he discovered something that led to him being targeted."

Fumie sighed, "I have banished the Holy Pool to the void"

The Hundred Flower Garden is a private garden of Fumi, where she cultivates various peculiar plants that she has gathered from the three thousand regions. Fumi picked an inconspicuous little white flower from the ground and held it in her hand, giving it a gentle blow.

Is the princess going to invite Elder Luoxia to come out of the mountains?" asked Piaomiao

Piao Miao curiously asked, "Where did the princess get this small conch shell?"

"Niece Fumi requests an audience with Elder Luoxia." Fumi took out a small conch and spoke in a normal tone.

However, the echo of Fumi resounded in the mountains, deafening and gradually rippling outward. As long as the setting sun is in the mountains, it will certainly be heard.

There are always people beyond others, and there are heavens beyond the heavens. Moreover, today is different from the past; not only have the esteemed beings from the upper realm descended, but the auction house in the Demon City has also presented the boundary marker. It is likely that the three thousand states will be thrown into chaos. If it were not for this, my niece would never dare to trouble the elder.

When Feng Mu stepped out of the Sacred Pool, Piao Miao hurried over and asked, "Princess, is the Sacred Pool unharmed?"

Such magic? One cannot help but marvel at it, not expecting that this kind of auxiliary treasure is also quite interesting

The husband of Luoxia is an elder from Leiyan Prefecture, who has mastered the art of thunder techniques to an extraordinary level. She follows the principle of adapting to her circumstances, and naturally, she is adept at wielding thunder as well. She unleashed a total of thirty-six bolts of lightning upon Fumi, thus finally venting her frustration

Piao Miao let out a sigh of relief, "Then I can rest assured"

Fumi's action not only left Piaomiao stunned, but even Luoxia was taken aback, asking, "What are you doing?"

Fu Mi waved her hand, as if the person struck by lightning just now was not her. She knelt down with a thud and said, "Niece pays respects to Elder Luoxia"

Fumi nodded and said, "Let's go to Yanxia Mountain"

"I will let you descend the mountain, but if you remain unambitious and fail to learn from your mistakes, if I do not teach you a lesson today, you will never understand the vastness of the world." Luo Xia asked, "Are you willing to accept this lesson?"

However, Luoxia was quite decisive, not even tidying up her belongings, nor wanting her husband, and simply led Fumi back to the Holy Lotus Palace.

Falling Sunset Road: "Do not use flowery words; I do not have a niece like you"

For the past three days, Fu Mi has been using the Sky Search Mirror to search for the whereabouts of Lian Huang, but the Sky Search Mirror seems to be malfunctioning. Fu Mi then turned to search for Rong Yi, but he too is nowhere to be found

The setting sun let out a cold laugh, "Oh, now you remember me. Who was it that tried to dissuade you when I urged you to cultivate? If you had been willing to cultivate back then, would you still need to come and beg me now?"

Fumi said: "This is not an ordinary dandelion; it has already gained spiritual essence. Given time, it will surely be able to cultivate into a spirit like my ancestors. Moreover, this dandelion's lineage has produced a Dandelion Deity, so do not underestimate it." After saying this, Fumi thought for a moment and felt something was amiss. She turned her head and glared at Miaomiao, saying: "Do you think my Hundred Flower Garden collects just any old rubbish?"

"Princess, what kind of treasure is this?" Piaomiao asked curiously, "It's even more powerful than the roar of a lion, quite impressive."

Piao Miao's first reaction was, "Your Majesty, could it be that Your Majesty is..."

Fumi shot a glance at Piaomiao, "How is that possible? He begged me to accept it, and I never spoke to him even once. Yet, I still offended the Dragon Lady of the South Sea. But the Dragon Lady is too petty; I was merely intrigued by this conch."

Is this the betrothal gift for the Dragon Lady of the South China Sea?" Piaomiao was momentarily unable to process this news, "You and the Crown Prince..."

The Sacred Pool is located in Lianzhou, and even if it is ethereal, entry is not permitted. Fu Mi sits cross-legged by the Sacred Pool, somewhat indecisive; however, the Sacred Lotus Palace is currently at peace, which does not guarantee that it will remain so in the future. With her father missing, she lacks the ability to protect the Sacred Lotus Palace. At this moment, Fu Mi feels a twinge of regret for not having practiced diligently.

Piao Miao saw the danger and was about to shield Fu Mi, but was pushed away by Fu Mi. The lightning struck Fu Mi on the head, leaving her entire face blackened, and her once proud, silk-like hair was singed to a charred yellow.

Piao Miao nodded and said, "What shall we do now, Princess?"

However, Piaomiao quickly realized that Fumi was not there to relax. She saw the white hairs of the small white flower gradually increasing and spreading like rising mist, almost enveloping the entire sky above the Holy Lotus Palace. It was truly hard to believe that this small flower could produce so many descendants.

Piao Miao quickly shook her head, absolutely not daring to do so

"Which esteemed figure from the upper realm does the princess suspect is behind this?" asked Piaomiao

The Nine Nether Sacred Lotus did not dare to land on the Misty Mountain, but stopped at the foot of the mountain

Fumidao: "Come with me to the Hundred Flower Garden"

Only then did Fu Mi obediently follow behind Luo Xia, not daring even to tend to her wounds

Luoxia burst into laughter and asked Fumi, "Isn't that so? If that Prince of the East Sea were to see you like this now, would he still be willing to call off the engagement?"

Where would Fu Mi dare to express dissent, she could only obediently kneel on the ground and say, "Please, Elder, grant your guidance"

Fumie shook her head, "I do not know. I only know that no one currently has the strength to protect the Sacred Pool. The Sacred Pool is the foundation of my clan and must not be lost. Once my father returns, he will naturally be able to connect with the Sacred Pool and restore it to Lianzhou. By exiling the Sacred Pool, I can search for my father without any worries."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Mi immediately became flustered, "Hurry back to the Holy Lotus Palace." The other party dared to target the Lotus Emperor, so they must also be aware of the Holy Pool

Fu Mi looked towards the ethereal figure and said, "Impossible! In the lower realm, perhaps there are those who could kill the Emperor, but it is absolutely impossible to capture him alive. The Emperor's true form is the Sacred Lotus; even if others attempt to capture him, he can easily escape, as long as the Sacred Pool remains. " The Sacred Pool is the birthplace of the Lianzhou royal family; as long as this pool exists, the Lian clan will not be extinguished.

"Misty, what do you think your princess looks like now?" asked Luoxia

"Yes, Elder Luoxia," Fumi replied very obediently

Fu Mi said: "You have a discerning eye. The remarkable aspect of this small conch shell, compared to the loud roar of a lion, is that while the lion's roar is both unsightly and unpleasant, this small conch allows us to speak softly, yet it can carry our voices over great distances. Moreover, the sound is enriched by the water, making it much more melodious. This is not all; the small conch comes in pairs, allowing for communication that can be loud or soft, and even private. As long as the other person has one in hand, two individuals can converse underwater, enabling communication over distances of up to one hundred thousand miles."

"Is His Majesty being held captive?" asked Piaomiao again

"Princess, what shall we do now?" Piaomiao asked again. Despite her high cultivation level, when it came to making decisions, she could only look up to Fumi.

Piao Miao nodded in agreement and cast a deep glance at Fu Mi, unexpectedly realizing that her own princess could possess such awareness
