Chapter 158. The Mont Bai Ze Appeared, They Were Left Stunned
In the cave’s dim light, dusa’s bruised and swollen face was plainly visible.
Jiang Yichen looked at it with great satisfaction. It no longer felt frightening at all. Compared to how she had looked before, she was almost comical now.
“All right, then. I ask, you answer. Why are you here? As soone from ancient Greek mythology, you should not be in Huaxia.”
Jiang Yichen spoke calmly.
A trace of hesitation flickered through dusa’s eyes. When she saw Jiang Yichen raise his fist again, her snake body trembled involuntarily.
She had lived for endless ages, yet this was the first ti she had ever been threatened by a human insect.
But her strength had not fully recovered, and she truly could not defeat this human.
“Athena placed a curse on . I cannot reveal any information related to the divine war, or my body and soul will be destroyed. Unless you can remove the curse on , I cannot tell you anything.”
dusa let out a sigh. Looking at her own hideous appearance, a flash of hatred passed through her eyes.
A curse?
Jiang Yichen thought about it for a mont. In Greek mythology, dusa had been discovered by Athena after sleeping with Poseidon in a sacred temple, and then she had been cursed.
But what did that have to do with what he was asking? And what exactly was this so-called divine war?
Jiang Yichen waved his fist. “Are you sure you are not lying to ?”
A trace of fear flickered in dusa’s eyes, and she hurriedly replied, “I would not dare.”
Jiang Yichen smiled. “Actually, I preferred the way you were earlier, all defiant and unyielding.”
“Fine. I have a way to remove your curse.”
Xiao Bai’s third divine beast skill, All Evils Recede, could dispel any evil art, curse, and the like.
It was the perfect ti to use it.
When dusa heard that her curse could be lifted, her blood-red eyes widened. She had suffered under that curse for endless years. Once, she had been beautiful, yet every single day she had been forced to face this hideous face.
After thinking for a mont, she lowered herself before Jiang Yichen. “If you can remove the curse on , I am willing to acknowledge you as my master.”
“...” Jiang Yichen’s mouth twitched. Was he about to get a lackey for free just like that?
But then...
“Stop right there. Are you trying to acknowledge as your master so I’ll help you grow stronger? Not happening. I’ve seen that kind of trick too many tis.”
???
A question mark practically appeared over dusa’s head. She was still a god, after all, yet she was being rejected by a human.
Su Linyu and Tang Long also looked astonished. Even soone as formidable as this Snake Woman was being turned away. His way of thinking was truly bizarre.
Jiang Yichen, anwhile, opened the Pet Space and summoned Bai Ze.
In an instant, a blinding white radiance illuminated the cave. dusa imdiately let out shrill screams, as though she were deeply afraid of that light.
Tang Long and Su Linyu raised their hands to shield themselves from it.
Feng Xiazi and the other two, who had just been freed from petrification, were also roused by that intense white light.
“What is this thing? How dare it flash in my eyes? I’ll give you three seconds. Stop at once.”
Jiang Feng, with his eyes tightly shut, blurted out another one of his Overbearing CEO Catchphrases.
But he quickly realized sothing was wrong and imdiately lowered his head to look at his own hands.
?
Had he not been petrified? Why was he still alive?
No, wait. Could this white light be heaven?
But just as he was thinking that, the dazzling radiance gradually faded, and his vision returned.
He was still in the dim cave. The only difference was that the petrified statue from before had beco a living one.
Jiang Feng, Feng Xiazi, and Chu Xingchen all froze.
They were still alive!
Jiang Feng and Chu Xingchen could not help turning to look at Feng Xiazi.
The aning was obvious. Feng Xiazi had previously said that there was no way in all of Huaxia to reverse petrification, so what exactly was happening to them now?
Feng Xiazi himself looked utterly bewildered. He had no idea what was going on either.
“Heavens! Th-this...”
Just as the three of them were still trying to process the fact that they had not died, Tang Long suddenly let out a strange cry from the side.
Su Linyu also wore a look of shock, her lips slightly parted as she stared ahead.
The three of them followed their line of sight. And when Bai Ze appeared before them, its whole body snow-white, with pale golden divine light shining between its two antlers, they were completely dumbstruck.
All of them had studied at Martial Arts University. They had all taken classes on Huaxia’s divine beasts. This creature was exactly the sa as the Bai Ze described in the textbooks.
No, wait! Since the Great Cataclysm, only four divine beasts had ever been observed in all of Huaxia. So how could one suddenly appear here?
“Xiao Bai, use ‘All Evils Recede’ to remove the curse from her.”
Jiang Yichen spoke.
Xiao Bai nodded, and a pale golden sphere of light began to gather between its antlers.
Buzz!
The sphere burst apart, and countless sacred motes of light rged into dusa’s body.
Hiss—!
dusa imdiately let out a long, agonized hiss.
That sight left Feng Xiazi and the others completely dumbfounded.
Good heavens, the divine beast Bai Ze listened to Jiang Yichen?!
What?
Surely this was not a joke.
Could the Jiang family really have caught a divine beast just to protect Jiang Yichen? That was not rely extravagant... it was absurd.
For a ti, apart from dusa’s screams, not a single other sound could be heard in the cave.
Everyone else had fallen into stunned silence.
Jiang Feng’s eyes widened in disbelief. He could not believe that Jiang Yichen possessed a divine beast. In all of Huaxia, no one had ever managed to ta one. At most, they could only observe them in secret.
Was this not far too outrageous?
Exactly how many things had Jiang Zhentian given you? Had he even given you a divine beast?
He refused to believe Jiang Yichen had tad Bai Ze himself. Other than Jiang Zhentian, who might possibly have had that kind of strength, he could think of no one else.
“Xiao Bai.”
Su Linyu walked over to Xiao Bai in astonishnt. Three months ago, Xiao Bai had still been a little glutinous rice ball, yet now it had grown taller than she was.
And it was even a divine beast. She had actually touched a divine beast.
Excitent imdiately rose in Su Linyu’s eyes.
At that mont, Xiao Bai’s eyes shifted. When it saw Su Linyu, it stepped forward and rubbed its cheek against her.
Su Linyu was stunned.
Jiang Yichen could not help smiling. “What is it? This is the Xiao Bai you raised, after all. Why are you making that expression?”
Su Linyu smiled, not knowing what to say, so she could only reply, “Brother Yichen, you never told it was a divine beast.”
Jiang Yichen let out a soft laugh and pinched her adorable little cheek.
“Master, I am willing to serve at your side.”
At that mont, an incomparably gentle voice ca from dusa, who was still wrapped in sacred radiance.
Everyone turned toward the sound.
Beneath that sacred glow, where was there any longer the hideous Snake Woman from before? In her place was a voluptuous woman. Her crimson dress outlined her figure so perfectly that it seed almost unreal.
Smiling softly, she dropped to one knee before Jiang Yichen and offered him her loyalty.
