Chapter 30: Nezha wreaks havoc in the East Sea?!
"Waaaaah, woo..."
The baby Yang Jian in his arms opened his mouth and cried out loudly, revealing his pink gums.
Why is he crying?
Little Yang Jiao, at a loss, hugged him and shook him.
This scene prompted Yang Tianyou to make comparisons again.
My daughter only cried once when she was born, but this boy, in such a short time, is howling so loudly that the roof is practically breaking open.
"Your little brother is hungry, give him to your mother."
Yao Ji glared at Yang Tianyou, picked up her youngest son, and began to unbutton her clothes.
The father and daughter, in an instant, one looked up at the sky and the other at the ground.
If it weren't for the fact that both of their ears were red, and they were pretending to be serious...
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Just as Xiao Yangjiao was about to suggest to her father that they go out to admire the moon, she turned her head away and heard a clanging sound of metal clashing.
A thick, long iron chain clattered to the ground behind Yang Tianyou.
She stared at Yang Tianyou in shock.
Daddy, do you usually like to play like this?
Seeing the look in his wife and daughter's eyes, Yang Tianyou panicked and picked up the chain again with a clatter, saying earnestly:
"Well, when Jiao'er was little, she could crawl right after she was born, and I almost couldn't catch up with her. I'm just worried that this child might also run off like that right after birth, just in case."
...Good idea, just in case.
Xiao Yangjiao was convinced.
The memory of being compared to a mad dog by Yang Tianyou when she was just born came back to mind.
Just as they were about to demand justice, Yao Ji hissed.
The father and daughter rushed forward to see what was wrong, and found that Yao Ji's face was even paler than when she gave birth, with large beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks.
"Mother!"
"My wife, what's wrong?"
Yao Ji leaned weakly against the bedside, her gaze darting rapidly towards her youngest son. It took her a long time to recover before she weakly opened her mouth:
"This child's talent is even more terrifying than Jiao'er's."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Tianyou swiftly raised the iron chain again and instinctively said:
"Hmm, it's okay, I've already experienced this."
"Come on, lock it."
...Yao Ji felt so weak from breastfeeding that she was about to faint from anger at her husband. It took her a while to catch her breath before she could say:
"Jian'er's constitution is too strong. It's because my spiritual energy is not enough to nourish him that he becomes weak."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yangjiao immediately understood.
Yang Jian will be the only immortal in the Investiture of the Gods to be granted godhood while still alive.
At that time, none of the three religions wanted to hand over their people to serve in the Heavenly Court.
Firstly, because they have a deep-rooted family fortune and countless magical treasures and resources within their own Taoist sect, they look down on the meager resources offered by the Heavenly Court, which also require them to be in office and have no freedom.
Secondly, it's because those who were conferred titles of gods were all deified after their physical bodies died, and their cultivation stagnated, making further progress impossible.
His own younger brother was the only variable.
He became so powerful that he achieved physical sainthood, gaining not only a rank but also a significant increase in cultivation.
With such a constitution, Yao Ji's spiritual power simply couldn't withstand Yang Jian's absorption.
"Wow wow wow..."
Unable to get enough to eat, Yang Jian started crying again, searching for his mother's position with his hands, crying pitifully.
Seeing this, Yao Ji had no choice but to pick him up and feed him again with heartache.
Yang Tianyou, however, refused.
"How can your body handle if he keeps eating like this?"
Right then and there, the decision was made:
"He can grow up just as well if he is fed goat milk from now on."
Little Yang Jiao had no objection to this; her mother's life was also a life!
but……
She did have another idea.
Since ancient times, immortals have been inseparable from spiritual energy in their cultivation, and naturally, they have many methods.
It seems I'll have to go ask Nezha.
The next day, when it was fully light, Xiao Yangjiao first went into the hut to play with Xiao Yangjian for a while before going out.
Yao Ji is currently in her postpartum confinement period and cannot even get out of bed, so naturally she doesn't know that she ran away.
Guanjiangkou is not far from Qianyuan Mountain, so she immediately flew towards that direction.
After a rustling breeze, it landed in front of the Golden Light Cave.
She ran inside, shouting:
"Nezha, Nezha, are you there?"
The echo swirled through the stone path several times, but she couldn't spot that familiar figure. Xiao Yangjiao thought to herself:
"Could it be that Nezha didn't stay at the Golden Light Cave and went back to Chen Tang Pass?"
Just then, as she was about to go there, she heard the joyful voice of Master Taiyi behind her.
"Young friend?"
"It's been a long time! Fellow Daoist has come to visit this humble Daoist?!"
Uh, I was clearly calling out Nezha's name.
She quickly asked inside:
"Master, may I ask where Nezha is?"
"You call me 'True Man' again!" Taiyi Zhenren muttered unhappily, a little aggrieved.
Hearing this, Xiao Yangjiao reluctantly spoke again.
"Fellow Daoist, is Nezha here?"
Two words were enough to satisfy Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals. He smacked his lips and calculated the direction with his fingers.
After drawing a conclusion.
A deep, resonant voice emanated from the cave within.
"Right there on the Eastern Sea."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yangjiao felt a moment of relief. Thank goodness, if she hadn't asked that question, she would have gone to Chentang Pass only to find it was a wasted trip.
He immediately bowed deeply in gratitude, expressing his thanks.
"Thank you for telling me, Master. Yang Jiao will be going now."
Immediately, a gust of wind swept past from behind, carrying with it the anxious words of Master Taiyi.
"It's a fellow Daoist! It's a fellow Daoist!"
Little Yang Jiao was overjoyed and ran out, happily boarding the jade branch and flying towards the East Sea.
The mist from the clouds made her face feel cool. Xiao Yangjiao was hurrying along when she suddenly remembered something and stopped abruptly.
"East China Sea!?"
"The East China Sea! That's not..."
"It's over!"
Then, riding on the jade branch, it flew even faster.
This was the first time Xiao Yangjiao had flown so fast. She was left as a blur as she passed by. She had no magic power, and she felt as if the speed was so fast that it seemed to suck away all the air around her.
She was feeling suffocated.
After much difficulty and rushing, they finally arrived at the East China Sea an hour later.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, we made it in time."
At this moment, Nezha was sitting cross-legged on the East Sea, looking down, his eyes constantly searching for any movement beneath the waves.
Xiao Yangjiao took a deep breath.
"Luckily, Nezha made it in time; he didn't pull out Ao Bing's dragon tendons."
Before she even began to descend, Nezha had already seen the little sister.
He immediately stood up, waved to her, and called out:
"Little sister, you've come at the right time! Come quick, I just killed a little loach."
belch!
She couldn't catch her breath and fell straight down from the jade branch.
"Eh eh eh".
Nezha reached out to catch it, afraid that he would be too late. He also took the opportunity to pull out the Hun Tian Ling from his waist and used it to tightly bind Xiao Yang Jiao before landing safely.
When Xiao Yangjiao opened her eyes, she felt a sharp pain in her forehead and heart.
Nezha, however, didn't care at all and proudly took out the dragon tendon and stuffed it into her hand.
"Here you go, this thing should be able to be made into a whip."
She's never been that extravagant as using dragon tendons to make a whip.
In a moment of panic, he forgot the purpose of his trip and grabbed Nezha and left.
"Quickly, you should leave now and go back to Golden Light Cave."
After saying that, he added:
"Given how much Taiyi Zhenren dotes on you, you could kill Ao Bing and he could handle it."
Nezha didn't think it was a big deal, and nodded in agreement:
"It's actually quite easy to handle, but I can't leave now."
"Why?" Yang Jiao asked.
"When that old mudfish saw that his son had been beaten to death, he was about to surrender to me, but I beat him up too."
belch!
Xiao Yangjiao saw stars and, her body stiff with fear, fell straight backward.
Is this the difference between geniuses and ordinary people?
Yang Jiao went to great lengths to avoid the killing by the Golden Crow, while the prodigy Nezha killed the Dragon Prince and beat up the Dragon King, yet he thought it was a trivial matter.
Ahhhh, she absolutely must find a master as powerful as him, and have such an awesome background to go out and cause trouble!
At that moment, her face was numb as she listened to Nezha continue speaking.
"Hehe, I'm squatting right here on the East China Sea. That old mudfish still wants to go to heaven to sue me? I'll pull out his dragon tendons too."
"I'll also give you the dragon tendons from the Dragon King of the East Sea, so we can have a pair."
"No, no, no," Xiao Yangjiao stammered, "Thank you so much, you're so kind, there's really no need for that."
Then, the dragon tendon that had been forcibly stuffed into his hand felt incredibly heavy, so he quickly shoved it back into his hand.
Nezha was puzzled.
Isn't this dragon tendon a magical artifact? The little girl doesn't like it; could it be because the color of the dragon tendon isn't suitable for a girl?
"How about this, I'll dye it pink for you and then give it to you."
"Do I care about color?!" Xiao Yangjiao broke down.
Nezha scratched his head and asked tentatively, "Is it because Ao Bing's dragon tendons aren't long enough?"
"Do I care about length?!"
Hmm? Nezha thought for a moment, then stretched the dragon tendon in his hand a few times. It was just the right firmness and softness. Just as he was about to ask another question, his mouth was pinched shut by the little girl's hand.
She said helplessly, "Alright, stop talking."
Nezha had no choice but to swallow the last question, rubbing his lips which had been pinched red, before he remembered.
"Weren't you going to stay home and wait for your younger brother to be born before you came out?"
"My younger brother was born yesterday."
"what?!"
Now, it was Nezha's turn to be unsettled.
He calculated the time; in just a few months, the little girl's brother had been born.
He didn't know what to say for a moment, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but say:
"Is your brother still alive?"
As soon as Xiao Yangjiao heard this, she knew that Nezha had dragged her into it again, and quickly said:
"Living, living well."
"That……"
"No premature birth."
"Can……"
"Fair-skinned and chubby".
"Do not……"
"Six catties and nine taels."
After interrupting Nezha with three questions in a row, Xiao Yangjiao patted him on the shoulder and said truthfully:
"Nezha, of all the children in the world, you were the only one who was born after three years and six months."
Just as she was preparing for Nezha to burst into tears of disbelief upon hearing the news, unexpectedly, the child exclaimed "Whoosh!" which delighted her.
"I knew it! I'm the best, the one and only in the whole world!"
Okay, okay, you're the best.
When the conversation turned to her younger brother, Xiao Yangjiao pulled Nezha aside and asked:
Do you know the best way to replenish spiritual energy?
He stroked his chin, assuming the little girl wanted to start cultivating, then clapped his hands and said:
“Cultivation is too arduous, finding blessed lands is too slow, and stealing other people’s luck is too dangerous. Why don’t you supplement your diet with food?”
Xiao Yangjiao's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer.
"How exactly should we supplement our diet?"
Nezha glanced down at the mortal realm and then looked up at the sky, giving examples:
"The most powerful thing in the world for replenishing spiritual energy."
"The first is Laozi's elixir, the second is Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit, and the third is the Queen Mother of the West's peaches of immortality."
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yangjiao immediately felt as if the sky had fallen.
First, she is one of the Three Pure Ones; second, even Guanyin Bodhisattva would have to put on a smiling face for her; third, well, if that person knew of her existence, the first thing they would do is tear her to pieces.
Just as Xiao Yangjiao was feeling down, Nezha smiled.
"What a coincidence! I just need to corner that old mudfish, so I'll send you to the Thirty-Third Heaven!"
