Chapter 577: Tears of the Merfolk Beneath Jingluo Lake (Part 2)
Everyone was stunned, even Lian Xichen found it quite incredible. He even developed a faint sense of trust in Han Jing. As expected, she’s not just the daughter of his adoptive father and the wife of his senior, he truly underestimated her.
The path was like a slide, leading directly to the bottom of the lake. Han Jing first pulled Xiao Xue and walked downwards, followed by Lian Xichen and An Chuxue.
Lan Ling stayed outside guarding with Youyou. Even though Lan Ling had witnessed Han Jing’s abilities before, at that time, she hadn’t broken through to the Spirit Flame Level and was still an ordinary person. Now, seeing her use special Water Element abilities as a Spirit Cultivator once again left him so astonished that his eyes nearly popped out.
Just then, he vaguely felt something quickly flash in front of his eyes. It was so fast that he didn’t have a chance to capture it, and in a blink of an eye, he thought maybe he was seeing things.
But Youyou beside him suddenly howled twice excitedly and rushed towards the water crack that Han Jing had split open.
With quick reflexes, Lan Ling grabbed its tail and pulled it back, shouting at it, "Youyou, what are you doing! They have important business now, we need to stay here and keep watch to prevent anyone from stirring up trouble!"
"Awoo~" Youyou howled twice, turning around in circles, trying to bite Lan Ling. How dare he yank its tail! Is he asking for death?
Lan Ling dodged while yelling, "Stop it! What kind of fit are you throwing!"
Youyou almost wanted to bite him to death! It suddenly spun around and leaped at him, pinning Lan Ling under its paws, yet Lan Ling stubbornly held onto Youyou’s tail and refused to let go!
Youyou, without any hesitation, aimed a paw at Lan Ling’s head, as if to say, "Let go now or get crushed, believe it or not!"
Lan Ling quickly dodged Youyou’s sharp claws, and only when he saw the lake surface close up did he release Youyou’s tail, struggling to escape from under its wolf claws!
He kept a two to three-meter distance from Youyou, pointing at it and saying, "Explain to me clearly, what the hell are you doing, why are you so eager to rush down! I know you’re worried about Xiao Xue and the others, but didn’t you hear Little Jing Zi? He asked you to stay here for backup, you get it?"
"Awoo~" Youyou howled twice more towards the lake surface.
Lan Ling was bewildered: "I mean, it’s troublesome that you can’t talk, what’s your point?"
Youyou bared its teeth and gestured at Lan Ling twice, almost wanting to scratch this idiot to death!
Lacking any understanding of Youyou’s gestures, Lan Ling jumped a few meters away, waving his hands, "No intruders went in, right?"
Youyou nodded.
Lan Ling sat on the ground with a thud: "Then why are you getting all worked up, huh silly! As long as no intruders went in, what’s the difference whether you go or not? Why so agitated? Huh? Scared me to death, I thought something happened! Although I might have truly had a momentary illusion earlier, I’m sure, definitely no one went in."
Youyou completely lost interest in dealing with this fool anymore. It silently walked to the lake’s edge, its gaze fixed on the now calm lake’s surface, remaining silent for a long time.
Lan Ling found Youyou extremely odd today; it was rare to see Youyou so agitated. After all, although Youyou isn’t human, it is a Spiritual Beast, its cultivation not even weaker than his, so it couldn’t be throwing a tantrum for nothing!
