Chapter 177 The Heavenly Slave Descends to Earth and Tracks Down to Guanjiang Estuary
At the entrance of the government office.
Yang Jian, his eyes vacant, crouched beside the stone lion, holding the little white dog.
How did I get kicked out?
Inside, Yang Chan held Yang Jiao's hand, pleading with some heartache:
"Sister, the puppy is very cute, and my brother likes it very much. Let him keep it."
"When did I say he couldn't keep it?"
Yang Jiao laughed. If you can't talk things out properly and have to be stubborn, then you can stay in the little doghouse outside.
But now...
My younger brother doesn't know how to speak properly, and my younger sister's kind words turn into something unpleasant.
Headache!
After sending Yang Chan to her father's place to study, Yang Tianyou was unaware of the tribulation at the academy; he only noticed the drastic change in Jiao'er.
I saw a very fair-skinned and pretty girl this morning, how come she turned into a charcoal briquette this afternoon?
"What's going on here?"
Yang Jiao waved her hand dismissively and said:
"It's nothing, it's just a tribulation of lightning."
Surviving the tribulation of lightning is a minor matter!
Yang Tianyou got up and hurriedly walked around the table to take a closer look, but Yang Jiao dodged him and shoved Yang Chan in front of him instead.
"Father, you'd better discipline her. She's making a fuss about wanting to come to school."
Yang Chan had developed a biological clock from a young age under Yang Tianyou's guidance. She had to come to the academy to listen to lectures at the designated time. Even at home, Yang Tianyou would recite poems and texts to her at that time.
Having completed her task, Yang Jiao hurriedly returned home.
Unexpectedly, Yang Tianyou sat down at the desk with Yang Chan in his arms, opened a book, read a few sentences, and then began to instruct her:
"Chan'er, let me tell you a story. The moral of this story is that one must always be kind-hearted and treat others with gentleness..."
Yang Chan listened to her father's words and realized that she had always done the same thing.
But my sister said... you can't be foolishly kind, or people will bully you.
Chan'er, don't let anyone bully you.
Suddenly, two little figures fighting appeared in her mind, one with a cold face and the other with a smiling face.
They are intertwined and entangled, each vying for the upper hand.
"Father... Chan'er's head hurts so much."
Yang Jiao went straight to her room as soon as she returned from the academy.
I sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusted my breathing, closed my eyes, and began to wholeheartedly experience the changes brought about by my recent advancement to the Celestial Immortal realm.
As her consciousness gradually immersed itself in her body, the first thing she noticed was that the area of her spiritual sea had become significantly wider.
The once calm and still spiritual sea is now turbulent and filled with surging spiritual energy.
As she watched the fluttering Jingwei, Yang Jiao's heart stirred, and she silently said without making a sound:
"Certainly!"
Before the words were even finished, a miraculous scene unfolded—everything around them froze instantly, as if time had completely stopped at that moment.
Not only Jingwei, but even the gourd in the corner, which had grown quite a bit and was emitting a faint red light while swaying back and forth, seemed to be under a spell, hovering steadily in mid-air.
Yang Jiao counted silently:
"One, two, three... five!"
Five whole seconds have passed!
When she opened her eyes, they were filled with surprise and delight.
It should be noted that before breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm, the freeze time she could achieve was only three seconds.
The fact that it can now last for five seconds is undoubtedly a huge improvement.
Moreover, it is quite obvious that as his cultivation level continues to improve, the Primordial Purple Qi seems to be undergoing some kind of change.
Five seconds later, the binding force disappeared without a trace, and everything returned to normal.
Jingwei spread its wings and flew towards Yang Jiao, landing lightly on her shoulder.
It tilted its head, blinked its bright little eyes, and stared curiously at Yang Jiao, occasionally letting out a clear and melodious chirp:
"Jingwei?"
It was as if they were wondering why they came back as completely different people after going out for a while.
She was fine when she went out, so why did she get a perm when she came back?
She pecked at her hair, puzzled.
Just then.
The system's voice echoed in my mind:
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm. A new mission is now issued.]
Yang Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and her face showed a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
I've made money with tokens again!
I wonder what kind of mission it will be?
After a brief pause, the system continued to broadcast:
[A celestial mission has been issued: Five celestial servants have descended to the mortal realm to track down Yao Ji and have found her at the mouth of the Guan River.]
[Capture one person to receive 5 card draw tokens.]
Heavenly Slave!
Like the eunuchs in the palace, except that they were also immortals, possessing at least the cultivation level of celestial immortals.
It is exactly the same as I am now.
The Heavenly Slaves are five servants who serve the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West. I only ask that none of them carry any magical treasures.
Otherwise, even with the immobilization technique of the Primordial Purple Qi, Yang Jiao might not be able to capture all five of them at once.
Even the slightest mistake would prompt the Heavenly Slave to relay the message to the heavens.
No!
Her expression changed, and she hurriedly headed towards Guanjiangkou.
……
Drain the estuary.
The five celestial servants searched for a long time but could not find it. They secretly investigated and tracked the whereabouts of Venus and only then learned about Guanjiangkou.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they got off, they seemed to lose their way.
Even magical artifacts for tracking spirits are ineffective here.
The group discussed it together.
"Why don't we split up and search?"
"Wait a minute. This place is very strange. Even the magical artifacts are malfunctioning. Let's cover up our presence before we search again."
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
"If you find any trace of Venus or Fairy Yao Ji, immediately crush the treasure."
After some discussion, the five of them actually concealed their divine aura and searched for the river mouth in their mortal forms.
This action led the heavenly soldiers and generals to miss the opportunity.
The five people, in twos and threes, searched around the entire Guanjiang Estuary. Gradually, two of them began to notice Yangjia Village.
From the outside, this place looks just like any other village or town in the mortal world, but once you step inside, you'll discover that it exudes an ethereal aura.
It was barely visible.
There seem to be a lot of them, so many that they're everywhere.
But if you smell it closely, it seems like there's nothing there at all.
Tiannu secretly lamented his own suspicious nature:
"There aren't that many immortals like us, who hide their divine aura and live as mortals."
You're scaring yourself.
The two of them continued walking in the other direction.
Meanwhile, the three Heavenly Slaves from the other team pointed at the bustling market in the village and said:
"It seems that Guanjiang Estuary is just unusually lively. Perhaps the Star Lord has been attracted by its prosperity and has come here several times?"
The other person, however, did not think so.
He asked curiously:
"What kind of village or town has so many merchants? There seem to be more merchants than villagers."
The three of them walked through the bustling market and then headed straight towards the Yang residence.
Upon first seeing the top of the wall, I was struck by how abundant the spiritual energy was in this place.
It is only found in the dwelling place of immortals or in families with great merit.
"Stop guessing, just go inside and you'll know!"
As Tiannu spoke, he leaped up on his own. Just as he jumped over the wall, a shoe suddenly appeared in front of him. Looking up, he saw a little girl of about ten years old with a serious expression.
Yang Jiao kicked out horizontally.
It struck Tiannu squarely in the abdomen.
He was kicked away with a thud.
