Chapter 884 Today I'm going to stand up and be called Senior Brother
"You're so slow, junior brother!"
The figure on the reef stood up, took a step forward, and fell into the water.
"Hey, Master led me in, but according to the order, I'm your senior brother." The demon spirit emerged from the shadow of a reef.
"Is that so? Then the old rule applies: whoever lies down first is the junior!"
Regent floated on the water, a blue bead floating from her collar—the very gift Ye Nanxiao had casually given her when they first met.
The once calm sea suddenly boiled, transforming into two enormous whales that surrounded Regent.
The demon spirit looked at the water elemental whale, which was several times its own size, raised an eyebrow, and decisively said, "I won't fight! You always specifically choose the beach! With that bead Master gave you, there's no way I can beat you!"
Regent smiled and said, "If you can beat him, then it proves you're strong enough to be my senior brother! The eldest disciple under Master!"
"Am I right or wrong?"
The demon picked at his ear. He had heard Lijing’s words countless times over the years, and could even recite them by heart.
"If I had known, I should have pestered Master everywhere to get more good treasures! Then I wouldn't be a senior brother in name only."
Lijing rolled her eyes at the demon spirit, then casually dispersed the water elemental whales around her and floated to the ground.
"Haven't your master given you enough? There's a city in the human world, the clothes you're wearing, and your master's skills in swindling and cheating while traveling the world!"
"Unlike me, I can only stay in the icy seawater, surrounded by cold all day long!"
The cries were filled with both resentment and longing, and all who heard them were moved to tears.
The demon sighed and clapped her hands. "It's been hundreds of years. Junior sister's acting skills have improved again. If Master saw this, he would definitely give you an Oscar."
Regent snorted and put away her playful thoughts. They agreed to meet every now and then, not just for sparring and teasing, but for something more important.
"Have you found Master's whereabouts?" Regent asked.
Over the years, they have been searching for the answer to this question, even if it's just a clue.
But every time, the response was cold.
The spirit walks on land, using the things left behind by its master to search for his whereabouts.
Lijing, on the other hand, used the Water Stone to help her clan defeat powerful enemies and reclaim their territory. After that, she sent out a large number of ocean spirit beasts to search for her master's whereabouts.
Seeing the demon spirit remain silent, Lijing sighed softly. Was it going to be the same answer again?
Master, where are you?
The demon spirit's mind flashed with Ye Nanxiao's image. After a moment of silence, it said, "I haven't found any trace of Master, but I have found someone who looks a lot like Master."
As soon as she finished speaking, Regent appeared before the spirit in an instant. "A human? Why does this human look so much like Master?"
The spirit sat down on the spot and drew a small grass pattern on the sand.
"I remember now, the reason Master was originally in the form of a blade of grass was because his soul was damaged, and the Lord threw him into the Spirit Blossom Grass to be nurtured. But what species Master actually is is still unclear, but he certainly wasn't a Spirit Blossom Grass!"
After thinking about it carefully for a while, Lijing felt that what Yaoling said made sense.
"Have you investigated the human's appearance and abilities thoroughly? Tell me about it." Lijing also sat down next to the demon spirit.
The demon chuckled, and said in a cheeky tone, "Want to know? Call out 'Senior Brother' and let me hear it?"
Regent turned her head and quietly looked at the demon spirit. The water stone around her neck emitted a strong light, and a large amount of water vapor gathered around her.
"Junior brother, have you gotten too cocky? Has your cultivation improved recently?"
Looking at the dozens of tridents formed by condensed water vapor, the demon spirit remained completely calm; he knew Lijing all too well.
"Just tell me, are you going to shout or not!"
Time stood still for a moment.
Regent stood up with her cheeks puffed out, and reluctantly whispered, "Senior brother."
The demon spirit instantly felt immensely satisfied and said cheekily, "Shout again?"
Dozens of tridents fell instantly, smashing the demon spirit's location to pieces.
The demon emerged from another shadow, chuckling, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. You should know, your senior brother will always be your senior brother!"
"Demon spirit!!!"
Holding the Water Stone, Lijing glared angrily at the demon spirit, wanting to smash it in his face.
The demon coughed, his expression turning serious, and reached into his robes to unfurl a scroll.
"It's strange, this human is someone I think I'm seeing for the first time, but I have a strange sense of familiarity with him."
Regent put down the water stone and reached out to draw the painting over.
The figures on the scroll are simply sketched, yet they perfectly capture Ye Nanxiao's facial features.
Those slightly elongated fox-like eyes, the faintly visible sly curve at the corner of his mouth, and... the nine... big bananas behind this perfect portrait?
Regent put down the painting, squatted on the ground holding her stomach, and a suppressed laugh rang out.
"Haha...hahaha!"
"Junior brother! Why did you... draw so many big bananas on this guy's butt? Hahaha!"
The demon smacked its lips and turned its head away.
His painting skills have been honed over thousands of years! In some aspects, they are comparable to the works of masters!
There are some things I've never seen before, so how do I draw them?
He had seen foxes before, but the fox's big, fluffy tail, with all nine tails attached, looked like a giant, bursting chrysanthemum.
He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, so he simply sketched a couple of lines to make it look like a done deal.
Sometimes, it's best to keep things simple.
Regent laughed for a while, clutching her stomach, before slowly standing up and continuing to examine the figures in the painting.
She tried to ignore the large banana that the demon had casually drawn, and her gaze slowly moved over the facial features of the figure in the drawing.
"Demon Spirit, you said this person gives you a sense of familiarity, why is that? Master's soul cannot see facial features." Regent reached out and gently stroked the face of the figure in the painting.
The spirit shook its head slightly. "I don't know, but I just have a sense of familiarity with it."
Regent nodded and asked seriously, "How about we find an opportunity to test the waters?"
Soul beasts always trust their intuition, because it is their instinct for survival.
Upon hearing Lijing's suggestion, the demon spirit shook his head and said, "It's a bit difficult, because the auspicious beast has recognized him as its elder brother. If I don't have a proper reason, it would be an offense."
Moreover, this human seems to have some connection with Brigitte and even the Lord.
The latest novel is first published here!
Otherwise, these two wouldn't have allowed the auspicious beast to approach that human.
"A mythical beast? Your precious pet has run off to this human's side?" Lijing was speechless; her pets usually didn't have a sense of danger.
"I was thinking that if you had a hard time, I could go and knock this human unconscious and bring him back to check on him."
According to the information given by the demon spirit, this human's martial soul is a nine-tailed fox. Could it be that the imperial auspicious beast likes foxes?
Upon hearing this, the demon spirit quickly shook its head and said, "You absolutely mustn't have such thoughts! Otherwise, you'll be chased and beaten by the auspicious beast!"
Regent put the scroll given to her by the spirit into a shimmering seashell at her waist, glaring at the spirit with displeasure. "We finally got a little bit of news about Master, how can we just give up like this?"
"Tell me a location, I'll go check it out!"
A bead of cold sweat appeared on the demon's forehead. "Lijing is really fierce. Who did she learn this from?"
Could it be my master?
Just as the demon spirit was troubled and Lijing was determined, a sound of rolling waves came, and a huge creature flew out of the sea, accompanied by bursts of clear laughter.
The spirit turned its head and saw a familiar friend, Yulong.
"Meow!" The fish-dragon manipulated the water waves to gather beneath it, flew to Regent's side, and raised its claws to wave at the spirit as a greeting.
"Oh, long time no see. You even brought guests this time?" The spirit saw a relatively smaller mermaid sitting on the back of the fish-dragon.
"Hello! My name is Liya, and I'm your sister's younger sister!" Liya said happily.
Liya was very happy to be on land.
"Yes, this is my younger sister, Liya, a somewhat playful mermaid," Regent said helplessly.
She originally came out to patrol along the edge of the clan's territory, but when her younger sister heard that she was going on a trip, she insisted on coming along. Her mother couldn't do anything about the little princess, so she gave her everything.
However, since I possess the Water Stone, as long as I avoid those abyssal lands on the ocean, and with the protection of the fish and dragons, it shouldn't be a problem to take this little guy with me.
After all, Liya can't always be a protected little princess.
"Hello, my name is Yao Ling, and I'm your sister's senior brother. Well, according to seniority, you can call me Uncle-Master!" Yao Ling said with a smile.
Regent waved her hand, creating a spray of water vapor that hit the demon spirit. She glared at him and said to her younger sister, "This is my junior brother. Just call him by his name. I haven't entered the sect without Master's permission."
The demon wiped the water from his face and said with a grin, "Since Master is not here, the eldest disciple can temporarily take charge. We can't let such a talented little fellow slip through our fingers!"
Liya tilted her head slightly and argued, "Yes, sister! Liya isn't young anymore! Liya has lived through many years!"
"Alright, alright, Lu Shu is here, and you've met your sister's junior brother. You should go back now!" Li Jing said.
"No! Liya wants to go with her sister!" Liya hugged the bony protrusion on the ichthyosaur's back, her face full of refusal.
Regent sighed softly; she really couldn't do anything about this little guy.
The demon chuckled a few times, sat down on the sand, took out a large cloth and spread it on the ground, then took out a lot of delicious food. "It's rare to meet, let's eat something first."
Liya's eyes were immediately drawn to the exquisite bread.
She had seen many exquisite foods underwater, but they were all seafood. She fell in love with the taste of soft and fragrant foods like toasted bread the first time she tried it.
Especially the fluffy and sweet cream bread, it was so delicious that she perked up.
"No wonder my sister always disappears for a while. It turns out she's sneaking off to the street to eat delicious food behind Liya's back! My sister is so naughty!" Liya pouted, looking at Lijing with a dissatisfied expression.
"Foodie." Regent rolled her eyes at her younger sister and turned to look at the demon spirit.
"After all these years, you have still preserved your master's culinary skills."
P.S.: I'm not feeling well and will be going to the hospital tomorrow. Please take the day off.
