Chapter 2874: Crystal Crab
“Find a safe spot for them . ” Li Qiye took a look at the two magpies and their nest before commanding .
These unique auspicious birds of virtue were very picky . They wouldn’t stay in regular areas .
Now, others have found their old location . The group needed to find a new spot in order to avoid the same confrontation .
“I know a place . Let’s go right now, they’ll be fine there . ” The black bull accepted the task .
It led the way of this rather long trip . They eventually ended inside a valley .
One could feel a massive yet invisible light power in this place .
The same case could be made for the rest of the ancient courtyard but the light power here was a little different . It seemed purer; each strand has been refined multiple times .
It felt wet and cool, very refreshing especially during a hot summer . The group felt comfortable and couldn’t help taking a deep breath .
“A good place indeed, home of the water tribe . ” Li Qiye judged the area .
The valley was surrounded by high mountains on all sides, looking like a fortress from faraway . The only easily accessible area was the mouth of the valley .
Inside were four seasons of spring with trees and flowers everywhere - certain befitting of the word, “paradise” .
“Such a nice place . ” One student said .
The bull brought them to a pool with clear water and not a single ripple - akin to a well with unmoving water for years . Next to it was a steep cliff .
The group finally realized where the refreshing feeling was coming from after standing here .
“Old crab, come out here, hurry, I got a job for you . ” The bull stomped and shouted .
“Splash!” The water in the pond started surging with increasing intensity . It eventually turned into a pillar of water gushing like the source of a spring .
They looked up and saw a crab being raised on top of the water pillar .
It was as large as a tabletop, quite a rare sight anywhere else but not in the ancient courtyard . After all, there were plenty of behemoths found here .
The most impressive thing wasn’t its size but rather its transparent body . One could clearly see its internal organs and other parts as if it was carved from a block of crystal .
Despite its shimmering and beautiful appearance, it didn’t give off a weak and feeble appearance like glass . On the contrary, its toughness was palpable .
Moreover, it looked amiable as well . People had an illusion that it was a kind old man meditating on top of this water pillar instead of a crab . He was just missing the two long whiskers .
“Ah, boss, which auspicious wind brought you here? Is the sun rising from the west? To have you visiting my humble abode is like a dragon entering the house of a shrimp . I am elated to be in your presence…” The crystal crab knew how to speak . Its voice was friendly too, true to the illusion prior .
“No time for nonsense today, I’ve grown bored of listening to your literary crap already . ” The bull interrupted the crab, not showing an ounce of patience .
“I’m naturally here for a reason . There is an important task for you . ” It added .
“May I ask what you require of me, boss? Just say the words and I will jump into a volcano for you without any hesitation…” The crab calmly responded, not minding the lack of civility shown by the bull .
“It’s not that serious . ” The bull waved its hand again: “I just need to leave two little birds at your place . ”
Meanwhile, the young ones found the crystal crab to be very interesting .
“Which birds are worthy of you personally coming here, boss?” The crab found it strange .
“Don’t you see the two birds on Sir’s shoulders over here?” The bull pointed with its chin .
The crab followed the direction and saw the two peacebringer magpies perching on Li Qiye’s shoulders . It naturally shuddered in response .
It got down from the water pillar and moved closer, looking as if it was prostrating after every step .
“No wonder why the birds chirped early this morning . Welcome, Sir . ” The crystal crab acted even more respectful towards Li Qiye than the bull .
“Old man, you’re quite perceptive, to be able to see Sir’s amazingness . ” The bull said .
“I’m sure that Sir is incredible to be loved by the magpies to this level . ” The crab said . It didn’t know Li Qiye but to have two magpies with him?
This person must be unfathomable - a type never seen before in the past and will never appear again in the future .
“That’s no big deal, I don’t want to say more though or I’ll scare you to death . ” The bull laughed for a bit before adding: “Oh fine, he also got a garland from them . ”
“A garland from the magpie?” The crab shuddered and nearly dropped to the ground .
It became even more respectful: “Back in my early days, I heard that even Saint didn’t get a garland!”
“Saint” here was short for Desolate Saint .
“Now do you understand who you are facing?” The bull guffawed once more .
“Forgive me, Sir, for being so blind . ” The crab respectfully said: “To have you in this world means peace for everyone, it is their blessing . I’m also blessed to be in your presence right now . ”
“I do like being called Sir . ” Li Qiye chuckled and looked at the crab: “A river crystal crab reaching this level of cultivation? Not bad . ”
“Not bad” didn’t seem like much of a praise . However, it was the ultimate glory when it came from Li Qiye .
“Thank you, Sir . ” The crab said: “I was lucky enough to find a golden pearl at the bottom of the river . Though I still can’t transform, I gained longevity and other techniques . ”
This crab was being quite humble right now . It was actually extremely powerful and reigned this area in the ancient courtyard despite the presence of many behemoths .
“Haha, this old crab used to be very haughty back then and called itself Visceraless Young Noble, bullying everyone nearby . I got annoyed and gave it a good beating . ” The bull laughed and revealed the crab’s history .
“Don’t bring up the past, boss . It was out of youthful ignorance . ” The crab became awkward .
“You will be responsible for protecting their nest here . ” Li Qiye glanced at the crab and smiled .
“Sir, to protect the nest of the peacebringer magpies is an honor . ” The crab solemnly swore: “I will protect them for as long as I’m alive and will not let anyone set foot in this place . ”
With that, Li Qiye set up the nest of the birds on the cliff nearby . The birds seemed satisfied with this new home .
“You all stay here for now . ” Li Qiye told the students: “I’ll come to pick you up when I’m done with my business . ”
The young ones didn’t know what Li Qiye wanted to do but they agreed .
“Crab, take care of these kids for me too . You’re responsible for them now . ” The bull added .
“Boss, they will not be harmed when they are in my valley . No one will get past me . ” The crab guaranteed .
The crab sent Li Qiye and the bull off till the entrance of the valley before stopping .
