"A hundred years to share a boat crossing, a thousand years to share a pillow in sleep," Li Qianxia said with a giggle, "We've sat on a boat together, so we're buddies of a hundred years now."

Knowing that her old brother was just trying to scare them, she also took a wicked pleasure in wanting to frighten Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing.

"I'm afraid this boat is a pirate ship."

Li Qianxia burst out laughing, "You're right, it really is a pirate ship!"

Xiao Qing had never seen anyone so shameless, and if she had been able to, she would definitely have slapped her with her snake tail.

"Do we kill the Dragon Girl here?" Turquoise Pool said.

Oh my god... Xiao Qing held her breath in fright.

The Dragon Girl wasn't the target of their mission, but just like Li Changzhou's goal not including the Dragon Subduing Arhat, and Yang Qinglan's goal not including the Bodhisattva Guanyin, sometimes it didn't matter whether they were targets or not.

The Dragon Girl would definitely help Guanyin, which made her an obstacle that had to be cleared.

"It's better to capture her," Li Qianxia said, "My brother promised Jigong that we wouldn't use ordinary people to threaten the Arhats or Bodhisattva, but the Dragon Girl is not, it's just unknown whether Guanyin can be threatened."

"What kind of ability is it to keep threatening people? If you have the skill, come out and do it in the open!" Xiao Qing taunted.

"Golden Crown." Li Changzhou summoned with a call.

Hiss~, the King Cobra slid out from the void.

"Watch them."

Hiss~ The King Cobra's neck could puff out, presenting a visage both terrifying and awe-inspiringly divine. It displayed the regal demeanor of a snake, flicking its forked tongue at Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing.

Yang Qinglan ignored the two snakes and pondered, "Given the Dragon Girl's loyalty to Guanyin, if we capture her, will she still lead us to Guanyin's Dojo?"

But if they didn't capture her, once they reached Guanyin's Dojo, the three Immortals, including the Dragon Girl, would definitely be an obstacle.

"Things seem to be getting more difficult," Li Qianxia thought about scratching her head, feeling like she was working on the last big problem in a math exam.

"It's not difficult, it's simpler," Li Changzhou said, smiling instead, "This clearly exceeds our abilities, proving that Daoism also has masters in the South Sea, and we're just as much cheerleaders as the Dragon Girl and her ilk."

"You sure know how to comfort yourself," Turquoise Pool teased.

"A man, if he doesn't comfort himself, who will?"

"Big brother, stop driving."

"... If your thoughts were pure, there wouldn't be any 'car', but we could indeed let the Dragon Girl and her friends off the hook. Didn't you notice how silly they are? They only asked who Qing Lan is and didn't ask about us at all."

"Oh right, I'd forgotten, I was just thinking about which identity I should pretend to be."

The three, including the Dragon Girl, were scared out of their wits.

"Let's go."

"No, keep calm! Don't run for heaven's sake!"

That woman in green said, "Did you see? Behind that man is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so many people standing there! All there to demand his life!"

She wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"I didn't see any mountain of corpses or sea of blood, but as soon as I went in, I saw the Roc, the Giant Kun, the Chaos twin snakes, and the Heavenly Calamity, each of them towering a thousand feet tall, and I stood there small as a sesame seed! Didn't dare to say a word!" The pink-dressed woman, who had been silent all along, clutched her sweat-drenched blouse, her heart racing.

The Dragon Girl patted her legs to make sure she could still feel them.

At the step Li Changzhou took towards her, she almost wet herself, her legs tight together.

She had only glanced from afar before, not noticing anything, but once she was inside the carriage, she realised this was truly a dragon's den and a tiger's lair (although she was a dragon herself)!

"Dragon Girl, what do we do now?" the women in green and pink looked at her.

"Don't panic." The Dragon Girl took a deep breath, comforting her friends as much as herself, "They want to go to Mount Putuo, so we'll take them there!"

Three ducks, leading a flock across the road, when suddenly four yellow lions (one male, three females) sneak into the duck crowd – who wouldn't be scared?

As the saying goes, "Enough ants can bite an elephant to death," it wouldn't be a miracle if a flood of ducks overwhelmed lions, but would the ducks dare?

Even cows and wildebeests of the great savannahs wouldn't dare, let alone ducks.

Pretending to know nothing, the trio kept leading them across the Flowing Light Bridge towards the South Sea.

When they reached Wind Wave Cliff, the Dragon Girl even made a special trip to the dragon's den and tiger's lair (to reiterate: she herself was a dragon).

"The wind at Wind Wave Cliff is the Sanmei Divine Wind, turbulent and dangerous, divine sense can't leave the body, so I'd like to ask you all to help watch over the others," the Dragon Girl said.

"Without question," Li Changzhou stepped out from the Treasure Horse Carriage, playing the part of the 'good brother willing to do anything to save his sister'.

The white swan still flew beside the carriage.

"Brother," Li Changzhou struck up a conversation with it, "How far is it from here to Mount Putuo?"

"After Wind Wave Cliff, we'll officially enter the South Sea. From there, Mount Putuo is not far," said the swan.

Li Changzhou nodded and asked, "Do you know where Evernight City is, brother?"

"Evernight City?!" The swan panicked, almost forgetting to flap its wings and almost causing a pile-up with the cranes behind it before it hurriedly flapped hard twice.

"Evernight City," Li Changzhou nodded in confirmation.

"..." The swan stared at Li Changzhou, "You've been calling me 'brother'; can't you tell that I am a female? Or is it that you have a hearing problem?"

"..."

Is that the point here?

"Sorry, this... Miss Swan," Li Changzhou cupped his fists, "you never contradicted me, so I thought you were a brother."

The swan nodded: "That's my fault too."

"About that, Evernight City?"

"Shh!" Miss Swan raised her wings, making a gesture for silence, "The Lord of Evernight City is a lust demon; he doesn't even leave untransformed monsters alone. It is said that he... has been with a snake."

... Online rumors can't be trusted, whether it's people or monsters, all need the ability to think independently.

Li Changzhou could swear on his chest that he had no romantic interest in untransformed monsters of either sex.

"Anything else?" he asked again.

"It's said that he likes not sleeping."

Li Changzhou indeed slept very little, and generally spent his time in spiritual practice.

"Why doesn't he sleep?" he asked curiously, after all, he wasn't the real Lord of Evernight City.

"Because he is the Lord of Evernight City; Evernight, ever night, of course he doesn't sleep," replied Miss Swan as if it were obvious.

'I'm known as 'King of Black Fog', but I'm not black fog... It seems like, being called 'Lord', I haven't created the world in seven days either!'

How important a good title is.

Li Changzhou was about to speak when suddenly a great wind blew from ahead of them. To him, it was a strong wind, indicating its formidable strength.

He turned his head to look and saw a cliff stretching between heaven and earth before him, a cliff made entirely of wind howling furiously.

The terrifying Sanmei Divine Wind seemed to solidify into tangible streams of air, like a rushing waterfall.

The Dragon Girl revealed her true form, a jade-like white dragon, who plunged headfirst into Wind Wave Cliff, forcefully carving a stable path within it.

The Flowing Light Sea entered the path opened by the Dragon Girl, and still, from time to time, bits of flowing light, like fireflies, were blown away by the strong wind.

Li Changzhou beckoned with his hand, pulling back the blown-away bits of light and throwing them back into the Flowing Light Sea.

Besides him, the woman in green and the woman in pink were doing the same.

Li Changzhou couldn't help but ponder a question: What good did it do the Dragon Girl to go through so much effort to bring these people and monsters to the South Sea?

He dreaded the Flowing Light Bridge, solely because he didn't want to create slaughter, not because these people could pose a threat to an Immortal.

But the Dragon Girl wasn't foolish; there must be a use for these people.

What use?

"Perhaps it has to do with belief." Yang Qinglan appeared beside him as if reading his mind and answered his inner doubts.

"Belief?"

"Yes," Yang Qinglan nodded, "With enough belief, one can become an Immortal. Earth Immortals created by Immortals just need enough belief to stay within a 'region' for a long time. The Bodhisattva Guanyin perhaps prefers to avoid war."

"That won't do," Li Changzhou said.

If they avoided the fight, their mission would be considered a loss.

"So," said Yang Qinglan, "we mustn't let these people pass through Wind Wave Cliff and enter the South Sea smoothly."

Boom!

The wind stirred, and the passageway opened by the Dragon Girl instantly collapsed.

Whimpers sounded as hundreds of dark silhouettes emerged from the depths of the Sanmei Divine Wind, each as large as a small island.

"Be careful! They're dragon whales!" The Dragon Girl hovered, stabilizing the wind waves.

The shadows gradually became clear; hundreds of dragon whales, each with a multitude of people standing on their backs.

"Qingcheng Mountain has been waiting here for a long time!"

"Shenxiao Sect, by order of Sect Leader Lin, is here to capture the Dragon Girl!"

"Maoshan Sect..."

"Shangqing Palace..."

"By the order of Dragon and Tiger Sect's True Master Zhang, a sea blockade is declared on the South Sea starting today!"

"Quit the chatter with them; when wind feeds the flames, a gentle force suffices. Witness my Samadhi True Fire!"

The flames circled like a dragon, guiding the Sanmei Divine Wind; the tongue of the giant dragon licked towards them.

The world changed color, turning into a furnace without escape or avoidance.
