Chapter 607
Seahorse Taotao
It was the most peaceful hour Mu Yu’s group had in quite a while as they admired the exuberant marine life under the water palace and the sound of splashing water. The community of corals and fish sung of living in their colours, a sort of visual choir eyes saw and the soul heard. Nonetheless, Mu Yu dragged Qiao Xue to the rear of the group, suspecting something was amiss.
Connecting Wood Spirit to Water Spirit as a means of communicating through their minds, Mu Yu inquired, “How much do you know about Fiend King Yujiang’s island? They don’t look as though they know it very well.”
“You can think of the ten fiend king’s dynasties as your cultivation sects that only unite when facing the elemental demons’ threat. In our case, we also unite against human cultivators. Otherwise, they wouldn’t know each other’s sect, or anybody could invade anybody, right?”Updated from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m
“I can’t get used to you referring to yourself as part of the fiend race.”
“Why not? I’m a fiend to begin with; I grew up with them.”
“This isn’t wise if we don’t know Fiend King Yujiang’s place. We’re injured personnel. Meanwhile, Gui Yeming is lurking somewhere.”
“We can’t just watch Ghost Gate invade, though, can we? Furthermore, we don’t know where Fiend King Yujiang is sealed. He will be in danger if Ghost Gate locates him first.”
“Who’s that singing? Their voice is almost as nice as mine,” Xiaoshuai popped out and asked, referring to a clear voice they could hear all around them.
“You scared off every fiend beast the last time you sung at Moyun Mountains, Rodent.”
“Stop,” called Lu Xiong, coming to a fork in the road.
“Which way?” Mu Yu queried.
“I don’t know,” answered Lu Xiong.
Xiaoshuai turned his head to listen in closely and then raised his claw. “Right. The nice voice is coming from the right.”
“Xiaoshuai, translate the lyrics for us,” requested Mu Yu.
Xiaoshuai cleared his throat and took in a big breath. “Aaaahhh.”
“I didn’t tell you to sing!” scolded Mu Yu, flicking XIaoshuai in the hand.
Xiaoshuai pouted. “You want the translation or not?”
“Okay, okay, you win.”
“It is His Majesty’s rule. All fiends living in the ocean must be erudite about the ocean as that increases their chances of survival, understood?”
“Do I get a free pass for looking handsome?” Xiaoshuai enthused.
“I can. Not you.”
Xiaoshuai pouted again.
“We are ready to answer,” expressed Lu Xiong.
Seahorse Taotao tumbled in the air, then asked, “What’s Seahorse Taotao’s favourite colour?”
Is he messing with us? wondered the fiends.
“Purple,” Mu Yu drawled, shaking his head.
“Correct. You have potential,” responded Seahorse Taotao.
The fiends pulled a double chin as they stared at Mu Yu. Qiao Xue whispered in his ear, “How did you know?”
“Look at what colour he is. Recall what his answer to Xiaoshuai’s question is. They’re cut from the same piece of cloth.”
“Second question: what shape does the ocean’s flow create? How do fiend beasts level five and below living underwater navigate?”
Everyone looked to Mu Yu.
“What do I look like to you? An aquatic animal?”
