Chapter 488: Chapter 487: Unfair Fish

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion was very happy that Qin Qianning was leaning so close.

However, happy as he was, this little guy still had to be dealt with. Biting people was not good.

Then, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion flicked his finger, sending the thing flying.

Jiang Zuo, watching from the side, felt a hint of disdain for the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion for some reason.

He had admired the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion from the very beginning. But seeing him look so smug just because Qin Qianning moved closer made Jiang Zuo think, ’The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion has no ambition in life at all.’

He and Su Qi had gotten together not long after they met.

They confirmed their relationship within a year or two.

Although taking the next step took a little more time, that was to be expected.

After all, they didn’t know anything back then.

So, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion had known Qin Qianning for tens of thousands of years, yet this was all the progress he had made.

’Were the ancients really too conservative, or was the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion just too dense?’

At this moment, Jiang Zuo also turned to look at the creature, and he was stunned.

It was actually a species he had never seen in his previous life.

Of course, it wasn’t that Jiang Zuo didn’t recognize it, but rather that he had never seen one in person.

Qin Qianning hid behind the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion and looked at the creature that had startled her.

She said in surprise, "A tiger with wings? It sure is ferocious."

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion smiled. "I just modified it a little. Its original appearance is also very fierce."

Qin Qianning asked, "So, this is a Winged Tiger? I’ve never heard of Winged Tigers being that powerful. Is it worth you two going to all this trouble?"

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion explained with a smile, "It’s not a Winged Tiger. It’s the Fierce Beast Qiongqi."

Qin Qianning was speechless. "Another Fierce Beast? Brother, why do you always have it in for Fierce Beasts? Are you giving this one to me, too?"

This was indeed the Fierce Beast Qiongqi. It was actually Jiang Zuo’s first time seeing one as well.

He had never seen a Qiongqi in his past life; he had even specifically divined for it.

There was no news of it. Theoretically, it should have been dead.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion said, "It is indeed a gift for you. As for why I have it in for Fierce Beasts, it’s probably because they are relatively powerful."

"Xuanwu is very powerful too, and they’re cute. Why don’t you go catch the Ancestral Xuanwu for me, Brother?" Qin Qianning pouted.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion just smiled without a word. ’Could that even be caught?’

’That one has a prestigious reputation.’

But Qin Qianning didn’t give it much thought; she was just talking.

Then she asked, "In that case, should I summon Chaos and give it a beating?"

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion was surprised. "Why? Did Chaos provoke you?"

Qin Qianning said, "To tame a Fierce Beast, don’t you have to intimidate it? Brother, you said that if you can’t win a direct fight, you can always break them down from the side."

’There’s nothing wrong with that saying, but what’s this about beating up Chaos?’

Seeing the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion’s confusion, Qin Qianning said, "You know the saying ’knock on the mountain to shake the tiger’? I can beat up Chaos to shake Qiongqi. After all, one is as big as a mountain, and the other looks like a tiger."

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion was stunned.

Even Jiang Zuo, who was on the side, was stunned. ’Her line of thinking is something else.’

’But will it work?’

’Is that "knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger," or "killing a chicken to warn the monkey"?’

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion shook his head and stopped dwelling on it. Instead, he said, "It won’t be that troublesome this time. This Fierce Beast is actually a bit different. It seems to have mutated, but I don’t know the specifics. So, the method we used last time isn’t suitable."

"Then what should we do?" Qin Qianning asked.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion said mysteriously, "Spirit Control."

Qin Qianning: "???"

’What does that mean? What in the world is Spirit Control?’

"Your brother and I met someone a while ago. This person was particularly fond of eating Spirit Beasts... well, mainly because he was too poor to afford food.

To make sure he could eat his fill, he created his own Cultivation Technique, which he named Spirit Control.

To put it simply, it allows one to command Spirit Beasts. Regardless of whether they have self-awareness, they will submit to his command," the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion explained.

Qin Qianning exclaimed, "It’s that amazing?"

Jiang Zuo was also a little surprised. ’This must be the ancestor of the Spiritual Control Sect, right?’

’So he was from the same era as these people.’

"Actually, it wasn’t that amazing. It had too many flaws. Later, your brother helped modify it a bit.

I also taught him a few things and got some inspiration from him in return.

The method for this time was inspired by him.

Mm, to put it simply, it’s a form of domestication.

The most important part is just what to feed it.

Come, I’ll teach you a Control Technique first."

After that, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion reached out and drew a Rune in the air. As soon as the Rune appeared, it split in two. One part surged into Qin Qianning, and the other flowed into Jiang Zuo’s mark.

He had taken out the mark because he felt it calling to him.

"I was afraid you wouldn’t remember it, so I’m giving it to you directly. Just focus on comprehending it. However, you can also use the basic Rune I gave you to control it."

At that moment, the space here suddenly dimmed.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion looked in Jiang Zuo’s direction and said, "This Qiongqi is a bit special. Control alone won’t be enough.

But many things must be done by oneself. If there’s no other way, we can only set it aside for now. You can’t rush it."

Then, everything vanished.

Only the dark space remained.

Jiang Zuo looked at the Rune. In truth, he understood it with a single glance.

He could even draw it directly.

If the creature were still here, he could control it with a wave of his hand.

After all, with the mark, it was as if they came from the same source. As long as a connection could be established, it would work.

Meanwhile, on Shui Mian, Su Qi also frowned. She had memorized the Rune, but since she only had the finished product, it was difficult to understand.

And just as she was feeling confused, her mark flashed a few times.

She then discovered that she also had a Rune. Su Qi was taken aback for a moment, then realized it was granted by her Saintess authority.

It even came with its principles and an analysis.

After looking at it for just a short while, Su Qi felt she already understood it.

She just couldn’t draw it yet; that would require some practice.

’If it were insights on Cultivation, I feel like I would’ve gotten it instantly.’

’But Chaos didn’t need any control Rune, so why does Qiongqi?’ Su Qi couldn’t help but wonder.

Last time, the mark was enough for Chaos. This time, Qiongqi actually needed a Rune.

’They’re both Fierce Beasts, so why the special treatment?’

Su Qi stopped overthinking. Nothing was happening now, so she had to see if she could still catch up to the others.

’What if I can still get a good ranking?’

But before Su Qi could set off, she suddenly froze.

Immediately, Su Qi rose up on her sword, quickly leaving the sea’s surface.

And just as Su Qi flew away from the sea’s surface, a Big Fish emerged from the water and lunged toward her previous position.

If Su Qi hadn’t left so quickly, she would have inevitably clashed with this fish.

Su Qi frowned. She discovered that the seawater had turned purple.

The purple was still the same shade of purple, but it completely lacked the feeling she had when she watched the sea with Jiang Zuo.

Because beneath the purple seawater, there were countless fish glowing with a purple light—all of them Big Fish, just like the one from before.

These fish exuded auras ranging from Tier Two to Tier Three.

Their numbers were immense.

Looking at them, Su Qi couldn’t help but say, "It seems there really is danger here, and it’s truly deadly."

Su Qi immediately recalled what her husband had said.

’But we’re just having fun together, why the need for such a high sense of crisis?’

’It’s not like we’re thieves or anything.’

Looking at these fish, Su Qi still felt a lingering fear. If she hadn’t just sensed the Spiritual Qi fluctuation, she likely would have been knocked into the sea.

But she didn’t have to worry now. She was in the sky; it didn’t matter how many fish were in the sea.

However, the seawater had suddenly turned purple, but she still hadn’t figured out why.

This sea was truly strange.

After something like this happened, she no longer found this place romantic.

Especially when she saw a few fish actually tearing at and devouring each other.

Su Qi shook her head. ’I should go back and see if my husband is okay.’

To check on him beforehand, Su Qi planned to give him a call, but just as she took out her phone, she found there was no signal.

’But I had a signal just a moment ago.’

Su Qi’s brow furrowed again. (If she keeps frowning like this, she’s going to get wrinkles.)

This place was even more complex than she had imagined. The signal couldn’t have just disappeared for no reason; it must have been caused by the sea’s strange transformation.

Without hesitation, Su Qi flew forward at an accelerated speed.

But the moment she moved, the fish in the sea moved with her.

A large number of fish leaped directly out of the sea.

Seeing this, Su Qi accelerated and increased her altitude.

However, to her surprise, after leaping out of the sea, the fish continued to ascend, their speed no slower than hers.

"..."

Su Qi was stunned for a long time before she complained, "That’s cheating! These fish can actually fly."
