Little Prodigal Alliance Head (and Cook) - Chapter 252

Chapter 252

Chapter 252 . 1: Cerulean Mountain

“It’s a sea dragon!” Baili Yu quickly informed her .

“Don’t make any sounds . I’m going to distract him with the water curtain until another sea beast appears, then we’ll take advantage of that to slip past them . ”

His tone was very calm as if he had plenty of experience with this .

Hence, Tang Doudou calmed down and turned to glance over . She only got a brief look, but she saw that an enormous dragon-shaped thing was half standing on the surface of the ocean . However, she wasn’t able to get a clear look at what exactly this legendary dragon looked like since Baili Yu wouldn’t let her move and pressed her head back into his chest .

That nice smell once again enveloped her .

She couldn’t help but lean against Baili Yu’s thin inner clothes and take a deep breath .

Baili Yu’s body stiffened for a moment, then he reached out and shifted Tang Doudou’s mischievous little head to the side before turning his focus towards the fearsome sea dragon again .

He indeed had come here many times before and he also understood this sea dragon and that old sea beast quite well . As long as this sea dragon came out and caused a disturbance, that old sea beast would soon rush here as well . It was necessary to pass through this sea dragon’s territory in order to reach the island that the Seven Great Saint Tribes were temporarily staying in . This was also the reason why although there were people that knew that the Seven Great Saint Tribes were staying in this ocean, very few people actually managed to make it to those islands .

Hence, he probably counted as quite unusual!

When Baili Yu’s thoughts got to this point, he tightened his embrace around the person in his arms again . Then, when he looked towards the distance, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes .

It turned out that not far away from them, there was another small boat traversing the waves . The figures on the boat seemed to be struggling . Baili Yu’s eyesight was very strong, and he was able to recognize Nangong Yan and Murong Ming with one glance .

The other people on the boat were definitely their attendants .

When Baili Yu saw Nangong Yan, his brows furrowed for a moment before smoothing out again . He seemed to have figured out something as his lips hooked in a meaningful smile .

So it was like that .

“B-big evil spirit…”

“Endure for just a little longer . ”

Tang Doudou gloomily buried her head back in Baili Yu’s chest . There was something in his chest that kept moving up and down with the waves and kept knocking against her painfully .

She reached out to press on it as she grumbled . What exactly was it?

Then, the surrounding waves got louder and louder until it almost sounded like thunder . It was as if an enormous beast that had gone wild was about to swallow this boat . The boat was shaking so much that Tang Doudou’s heart was about to leap out of her throat .

Only then did Tang Doudou finally realize the severity of the situation . They were on the vast ocean . No matter how amazing Baili Yu was, if they encountered any danger on the ocean and lost the boat, it’d be hard for them to survive .

She immediately hugged Baili Yu’s waist tightly and asked, “How are things now?”

Baili Yu gently lifted her head . “It’s done, but you have to hold on to me tightly . ”

Upon hearing this, Tang Doudou looked up . “F*ck! What is this?”

Their boat was currently flying in midair while two enormous beasts were entangled in a violent battle below them . Enormous waves were created due to the two beasts fighting and their boat was currently being lifted up by these waves .

In this situation, the boat should have long been overturned, but due to Baili Yu’s control, no matter how those waves crashed into the boat, the boat continued to ride on top of them with minimal swaying .

When Tang Doudou saw that Baili Yu didn’t even seem nervous in the slightest, she relaxed as well . In her heart, she exclaimed, Baili Yu seriously was too amazing!

Following that, the boat soon left the area where the battle was taking place and reached a relatively calm part of the ocean . They had actually managed to pass that dangerous area so leisurely .

“Phew! That was seriously too thrilling!” Tang Doudou patted her chest, then glanced at Baili Yu . There wasn’t a single drop of water on him even though quite a bit of water had splashed onto her forehead .

Baili Yu lifted his hand to wipe them off for her, then had her stand up . He pointed ahead of them and said, “We’re here . ”

Tang Doudou looked in the direction he was pointing and had her breath taken away .

At the place where the ocean ended were unending stretches of lush green mountains . They had the blue ocean as a companion and soft mist as a cloak while the cool moonlight cast a shimmer of frost on them . A few seabirds were flying into the mountains and a waterfall could faintly be heard .

Was this really the place where the strange Seven Great Saint Tribes were staying and not a paradise where immortals stayed?

As she was spacing out, another enormous shadowy figure appeared behind them . She was so frightened that she immediately swallowed all the praises for the beautiful scene back into her stomach and shouted in alarm, “B-big evil spirit, be careful!”

Baili Yu had already responded by the time she shouted . All around him, thousands of flower petals rose, then with a light push of his palm, he sent all the petals flying towards the center of the sea dragon’s forehead . The sea dragon’s enormous body fell back from this seemingly light blow and it smashed into the surface of the sea hard, causing gigantic waves .

It was so astonishing that Tang Doudou was completely dumbstruck .

Then this wave pushed their boat onto the island in the blink of an eye .

Baili Yu got up . Putting that guqin named Seep on his back, he got off the boat .

Meanwhile, Tang Doudou was still staring in disbelief at the ocean behind them . The sea dragon who was as large as an island was slowly sinking into the sea . However, its ice-cold triangular eye had glanced over in this direction . When it did, Tang Doudou felt goosebumps rise all over her skin .

Chapter 252 . 2: Cerulean Mountain
Baili Yu went to check the surroundings and only came back after he ascertained that there was nothing out of the ordinary . Then, he lifted Tang Doudou in a princess carry and brought her onto the sandy shore .

The feeling of finally being on solid ground again was indescribably delightful .

“This is Cerulean Mountain?” After she gained a steady footing, she started sizing up this island that was named Cerulean Mountain . “No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem to be a place that the Seven Great Saint Tribes would be staying in!”

Baili Yu walked up and tapped her nose . “Let’s go . ”

Then he started heading into the island .

Tang Doudou once again turned back to look at that sea dragon . For some reason, a strange feeling had floated up when that sea dragon glanced at her . She felt as if she had seen the sea dragon before .

However, when she glanced back this time, the sea dragon was already gone and the surface of the sea was once again tranquil as if nothing had ever happened .

Tch . Forget it . If it was gone, then it was gone!

Tang Doudou was just about to retrieve her gaze when she saw that there was a little black dot in the distance . It seemed to be a boat .

“Baili Yu, Baili Yu!” She chased after Baili Yu . “Look over there, isn’t that a boat?”

Baili Yu didn’t have to look back to know that she was talking about Nangong Yan’s boat .

“It’s Nangong Yan . ”

“Hah?”

“Wind Cloud Island isn’t far from Cerulean Island, but Wind Cloud Island prohibits their disciples from getting within one hundred meters in the range of Cerulean Island . ” Baili Yu reached out and pulled Tang Doudou into his arms again . “I’m afraid that her motives in coming here probably aren’t simple . ”

“She couldn’t be aiming towards you again, right!?” Tang Doudou had really wanted to say that Nangong Yan was aiming for her, but she already blurt out her first thought before her second could fully form .

Baili Yu lightly rubbed his chin on her forehead . “Wife looks so cute when she’s jealous . ”

Tang Doudou reached up and softly slapped his face . Then she stepped backward onto a rock and said, “Young fellow Baili, you’d best behave! Otherwise, this lady will make you regret it!”

Baili Yu smiled gently, completely unconcerned about her threat . He reached out and tugged again, then lifted her onto his shoulder and started walking forward with quick steps .

Not walking saved energy, so Tang Doudou stayed on Baili Yu’s shoulder and enjoyed the break .

She looked at the surrounding trees that seemed to be tall enough to reach the sky and the bits of moonlight that spilled down . She suddenly realized that Baili Yu seemed very familiar with this place, so she asked, “Big evil spirit, you’ve been here before?”

“I’ve probably already gone to all the places that needed to be visited in the world these past years while investigating Madam Qin and the Hoarfrost Poison,” replied Baili Yu .

When he brought up the Hoarfrost Poison, Tang Doudou immediately latched onto the topic . “What exactly is with the Hoarfrost Poison?”

Baili Yu froze for a moment before he continued walking . “Back then I was still a child . How could I know what it was?”

“You know that I’ve read that medicinal book?”

“You and Tian Weishi were talking about it every day . Even if I didn’t want to eavesdrop, it’d be difficult . ”

Tang Doudou gave a heavy sigh . “Baili Yu, if we don’t find the antidote soon, you’re going to die! What will I do after you die? Could it be that I’ll have to just be a widow?”

Upon hearing this, Baili Yu slapped her butt as punishment . “Wife should get rid of this thought . How could this husband bear to die before enjoying a lifetime together with Wife?”

“Tch . But even now there’s still no way to cure this Hoarfrost Poison…” Tang Doudou propped up her head to look towards the distance . “Baili Yu, I’ll warn you now that if you die, I’m going to remarry right away . I’m going to marry several dozen men so that even when you’re down at the Yellow Springs, there’d be a mass of green as large as the prairie of Hulunbuir above your head!”

Baili Yu “What is the prairie of Hulunbuir?” (Hulunbuir is a prefecture-level city in Inner Mongolia)

“You’ve heard of getting a green hat, right?” Tang Doudou giggled . “Once you die, I’ll make you wear lots and lots of green hats until you’re so pissed you’ll crawl out from your grave! Aiy, just the thought of that scene is hilarious!”

“Wife has such a good heart!” Baili Yu gritted his teeth . From the looks of it, he really couldn’t die! Otherwise, if he really ended up getting some prairie of Hulunbuir due to this dumb woman, wouldn’t his illustrious reputation be completely ruined?

Tang Doudou grinned . “That’s why ah, it’s best if you don’t die . ”

Baili Yu replied, “This husband will carefully obey Wife’s command and definitely will not die . ”

Tang Doudou hugged his shoulder and chomped on him . “I’m being serious!”

“I’m not lying either . ” Baili Yu shifted the person biting his shoulders to lean her against his chest . “Doudou…”

Tang Doudou now felt like crying .

She just hoped that they would be able to find a way to cure the Hoarfrost Poison on this island . Otherwise, Baili Yu would definitely die!

The events hadn’t even advanced, but she already had a bad premonition .

Baili Yu comforted his rather emotional little wife, then carried her and continued walking into the forest .

Beneath the rays of the moon, a black-clothed man’s figure flashed behind the two, and then he landed on the top of a distant tree .

He coldly watched the two gradually walk into the distance . Suddenly, he tugged off the black cloth around his face to reveal cold facial features . His black eyes had already become the blue of ice .

This person was precisely the person that had followed them the entire way, the person that not even Baili Yu had been able to shake off – Mu Ye .

After tugging off the cloth, he whistled towards the forest . It was a signal with three long tunes and two short ones .

A few moments later, an energetic gray monkey bounced out . When it saw Mu Ye, it cried out happily as it ran over .

It climbed up onto Mu Ye’s shoulder and rubbed against his face affectionately .

Mu Ye took out a bag of melon seeds and said expressionlessly, “Keep careful watch on the people that just passed by . ”

The gray monkey took the seeds and bowed as it nodded . Then it jumped off his shoulders and started chasing after Tang Doudou and Baili Yu while looking back every few steps .

Mu Ye then took out several similar-looking antique lamps from the cloth bundle on his back . He picked one up and looked at it in the moonlight, but still couldn’t see any signs of what he was looking for . He placed the lamps back, then disappeared into the forest like an owl .
