Chapter 2730 - 2731: Urgent Situation
Bai Ruozhu sneered, "With your strength, no amount of curses will work, you’re not even part of the Dragon Clan."
The great elder said viciously, "But I have the Dragon Ball, using it for a curse will definitely make you suffer generation after generation, sons born as slaves, daughters as prostitutes."
Jiang Yichun kicked him in the chest, such a wicked old bastard, it would be better to just kill him with a knife.
"Can you produce the Dragon Ball?" Bai Ruozhu laughed twice, "All you can do is use its spiritual power to ensure your newborns are human-shaped, yet you cannot truly use its power, otherwise you wouldn’t store the Dragon Ball inside the Giant Turtle."
The great elder showed a look of surprise, clearly Bai Ruozhu had guessed right.
But he quickly laughed wildly, "Let’s see what choice you make, there’s only one Dragon Ball, given to the white dragon, Chushuang is beyond saving."
Jiang Yichun kicked him hard again, the great elder spewed blood.
Feng Ran showed a look of reluctance that was quickly replaced by hatred.
"At such a time, you’re still so vicious, I must have been blind!" she cursed angrily.
The great elder showed a look of pain, "Why can you never understand me?"
Bai Ruozhu felt slightly chaotic inside, although the great elder was despicable, he was right, what should be the choice?
"Lock them up first, leave two to watch over them." Bai Ruozhu was uneasy and poisoned the great elder and the disruptive aristocrats.
With all this fuss, the Merfolk commoners knew the truth, they were both in pain and confused, gathering together refusing to go home, we need to discuss with the clan how to face the future.
Bai Ruozhu and the others found a place to discuss the matter, she looked at Gao Zhou and Jiang Yichun, "What do you think?"
"I don’t know." Gao Zhou said worriedly.
Fo Lanying’s eyes lit up, "It’s not unsolvable, ask Lord Jiang to eat a piece of Elder Chushuang’s meat, won’t that break the curse soon? And give the Dragon Ball to Elder Chushuang, she can survive, isn’t that a win-win?"
Jiang Yichun’s face immediately darkened, "I would rather die than eat my mother’s flesh."
Fo Lanying choked, if it were her, she wouldn’t eat her mother’s flesh either, but isn’t there no other way?
Bai Ruozhu glanced at Jiang Yichun, she had thought of this method, but she knew Achun’s character better, he would rather die than eat it.
Despite appearing cold and indifferent, he actually cares deeply about feelings, he won’t eat it.
Even if you secretly fed it to him, he would be miserable for a lifetime.
"The biggest problem now is extracting the Dragon Ball." Bai Ruozhu spoke, "If we can’t extract it, all other thoughts are useless."
Little Sibao suddenly popped up, speaking in a childish voice, "Just because you can’t extract it doesn’t mean the white dragon can’t, it’s so powerful, there must be a way."
"Right, we can try to drive the Giant Turtle to the white dragon’s side, and fulfill the promise to the white dragon." said the Astrologer.
"But what about my mother?" Jiang Yichun asked worriedly.
Everyone fell silent, if the white dragon extracts the Dragon Ball, why would it give it to Chushuang?
Ning Yu thought for a moment and said, "I think that white dragon holds goodwill, maybe it has a way to save Elder Chushuang, the Dragon Clan’s abilities are strong, perhaps they can accomplish what we cannot."
Footsteps sounded outside, Feng Cheng walked into the room, his clothes changed to new ones, but his hair was wet.
"You went to the sea?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
Feng Cheng nodded, "I went out to check on things, this Giant Turtle is no ordinary creature, it’s about to become a spirit, once it does it can break the barrier on its back, then we’d all be doomed, I’m not its match."
Everyone grew worried, Jianqi spoke, "What if we kill it now?"
"All of us combined couldn’t kill it, turtles are inherently long-lived, extremely defensive, not to mention one that has lived for thousands of years, and has been nurtured by the Dragon Ball for centuries." Feng Cheng shook his head.
"What will it become as a spirit?" Bai Ruozhu suddenly asked.
"Typically a Xuan Gui becomes a spirit creature, but having swallowed the Dragon Ball, it might ascend to become a dragon." Feng Cheng frowned, the situation had spiraled out of his expectations.
Gao Zhou gritted his teeth, "Damn it, Merfolk are just fools, creating such a disaster for nothing!"
"We need to come up with a solution quickly, the best way is to bring it to the rightful owner of the Dragon Ball, only then will the Dragon Ball resonate with its master and be extracted from the Xuan Gui, without the Dragon Ball, the Xuan Gui remains a Xuan Gui, and may sleep for a hundred years." Feng Cheng added.
Bai Ruozhu looked at Gao Zhou, this pertains to Chushuang’s life, it’s up to Gao Zhou and the others to decide.
She saw Feng Cheng was puzzled, then briefly explained the results of interrogating the great elder, Feng Cheng nodded, "Indeed, the Dragon Ball can revive her flesh, but since she is ultimately a Merfolk, not a true dragon, over time the Dragon Ball won’t benefit her, yet without it she’ll die immediately."
Gao Zhou remained silent for a long time, seeming to have aged several years in an instant.
"Give me some time to think." he said.
Jiang Yichun was also very troubled, emotionally he wanted to save his mother, if the Dragon Ball is returned to the white dragon, his mother might be beyond saving. But without returning it, there’s no way to extract the Dragon Ball, potentially causing the Xuan Gui to transform into a dragon, bringing endless danger.
Feng Cheng finished speaking, then said no more, Gao Zhou somewhat dazedly went out, Jiang Yichun hurriedly followed him.
Bai Ruozhu didn’t follow, letting the father and son have a good chat without her presence making it inconvenient.
"Father, I want to see my mother." Jiang Yichun’s voice trembled, he hadn’t yet seen Chushuang.
Gao Zhou paused, "Your mother doesn’t want us to see her current state, otherwise you can look at the cave entrance, don’t go in, or I’m afraid she’ll get emotionally agitated which her body can’t withstand."
"Alright."
The father and son went to Yuchen Palace, now without a barrier, nothing would stop them.
At the cave entrance, Gao Zhou nodded to him, called out to Chushuang, and slowly walked in.
Jiang Yichun saw the person in the cave clearly, his entire eyes became red, wishing he could immediately kill the elders.
No, he couldn’t kill them, death was too lenient for them.
That’s right, use them as living sacrifices for the Xuan Gui, weren’t they fond of using others’ blood sacrifices? Let them taste that kind of feeling too.
"Chushuang, Merfolk Island is under our control now, the Merfolk are willing to lift the curse, even if it means reverting to a fish tail." Gao Zhou spoke slowly.
Chushuang smiled, "It’s good everyone figured it out, whether Merfolk or human, just being alive is already a blessing."
"There’s also a way for Merfolk to live on land, remember a young man named Duannian? He was banished from Merfolk Island, later we met, Ruozhu helped him with surgery to cut off his tail fin, he slowly began to walk, adapting to life without water." Gao Zhou casually chatted with Chushuang.
