Hold It In and You'll Fucking Burst!

Tang Ru led his men away from the Great Xia Domain. Li Guanqi held Meng Wanshu in his arms atop the mountain peak, admiring the moon. Before long, he received a transmission from Gu Li. "Hahahahaha! Brother Li, as expected of me! I really managed to get an offspring from Senior Xiang!" Li Guanqi smiled faintly and said in a soft voice, "I bet you paid quite a price for it, didn't you?" Gu Li's secretive tone echoed from the jade slip. "Heh-heh, the price wasn't too bad. At any rate, it's the offspring of a true dragon, and its bloodline purity is virtually identical to that of a true dragon. "The Nine Dragons Immortal Sect gained a massive bargain this time—all four of the black flood dragons are showing signs of transforming into dragons! "Brother Li, guess how much profit I managed to snag this time?" Li Guanqi paused slightly, not expecting Gu Li to actually bring back some perks. Gu Li laughed uproariously. "The Nine Dragons Immortal Sect prepared four grand gifts! One each for you and me, and one each for the Gu clan and the Great Xia Sword Sect! "On top of that, Senior Xiang gave me an extra gift too. We'll split that between the two of us later, haha!" Li Guanqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Not only had Jiuxiao absorbed the yin energy within the four black flood dragons to break through to the seventh tier in one go, but Gu Li had also taken cuts from both sides. Looking at it like that... they really had profited quite a bit. Setting down the jade slip, he looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms, his movements softening considerably. Beholding her flawless profile, his heart stirred with tender affection. Silvery moonlight draped over her form. Meng Wanshu's delicate brows were relaxed, and an elusive smile played upon the corners of her lips. Her red lips were as enticing as ripe, dewy cherries. "Mm..." With a soft murmur, Meng Wanshu's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Opening her beautiful eyes, she saw Li Guanqi smiling at her. Giving him a playful roll of her eyes, she rose and smoothed out her lapels. "Are we heading back?" Li Guanqi withdrew his hand with a smile and nodded. "Yeah. Gu Li and the others should be back from the Ethereal Immortal Domain by now. "Those old codgers should be just about done with their discussion too. Let's head back and see how things stand." Meng Wanshu nodded, stood up, and stretched luxuriously, her flawless silhouette rendered breathtakingly alluring against the moonlight. A shroud of silvery moonlight fell over her cascading dark hair. Drifting gently in the breeze, the beauty turned back to gaze at the captivated young man and pursed her lips with a smile. "Let's go, then. Time to head back." Li Guanqi patted Jiuxiao's head. Jiuxiao snapped its eyes open and shook its head in utter discontent. It had thought it would get to watch people fight, but nothing had happened at all. If it had known, it would have just stayed asleep. The moment Li Guanqi caught Jiuxiao's gaze, he understood what was going on. He chided exasperatedly, "I told you to stop fooling around with Pengluo! What on earth goes through your head every day?" Suddenly, Li Guanqi froze, muttering under his breath, "Oh crap, I forgot about Pengluo..." Tracing his mental bond, he called out, "Pengluo, where are you?" At that moment, Pengluo was gorging himself in the Gu clan's storehouse, accompanied by a purple-skinned ginseng. *Smack!* Pengluo slapped the ginseng over the head, sending it stumbling. "Stop eating! Keep it down!" Pengluo's mouth chewed vigorously as he gulped down the medicinal pills, then cleared his throat and said obsequiously, "Master, is something the matter? Please, speak." Li Guanqi suddenly had an ominous premonition. "Where are you?" he asked in a low voice. Pengluo's beady little eyes darted around, and he swallowed hard. "Where else could I be? I'm... uh... I'm over at Second Brother's cultivation palace." Li Guanqi saw through him immediately, his face darkening. "Cultivation palace, my ass! "Let me tell you, if you cause trouble for me, you're dead meat!" With that, he took Meng Wanshu by the hand, stepped onto Jiuxiao's head, and tore through the void. Pengluo panicked instantly. Dragging the purple-skinned ginseng, he bolted, both little creatures desperately shoveling pills into their mouths even as they ran. By now, Pengluo was half a person tall, his belly swollen as if nine months pregnant, and the ginseng was in a similar state. As he ran, Pengluo wailed, "We're done for, we're done for! We're gonna die, we're gonna die! We're dead meat this time!" Even as he prattled on, Pengluo suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if remembering something. Whirling around, he whipped out a small dagger and began slicing off pieces of radish and ginseng. The purple-skinned ginseng cooperated fully, extending its arm for Pengluo to slice while continuing to stuff pills into its mouth. Pengluo smacked the back of its head and snapped in annoyance, "You dumb brat, aren't you afraid of blowing yourself up? Have you lost your mind?!" The ginseng looked utterly aggrieved as it spat the pill out of its mouth. Looking at the saliva-covered pill in its hand, it gulped. While Pengluo was placing the radish slices into a jade box, the ginseng popped the pill back into its mouth and swallowed it down. That single swallow was disastrous. The power within the ginseng's body could no longer be suppressed, erupting with a deafening boom! Several towering mountains throughout the Gu clan territory trembled faintly from the blast. Inside the grand hall, Gu Changsheng's expression froze, and he turned toward the back mountain in utter shock. Han Yuan and the others were also taken aback. Jiang Qizhi stroked his beard, finding it rather hilarious. "Oho! Has the Gu clan's Pill Storage Pavilion been hit by thieves? Hahahahaha! Old Gu, your clan's boundary seals are truly lacking!" Gu Changsheng's face turned black as coal. "Excuse me for a moment," he snapped. *Swish!* His figure vanished, reappearing inside the Pill Storage Pavilion an instant later. The sight before his eyes left him completely dumbfounded. "This... this... Channel-Clearing Pills, Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Pills, Dragon Bone Blood-Coagulating Paste..." "Damn you all to hell! Isn't this an utter waste of heavenly treasures?!" *Boom!* Concealed within a spatial crevice, Pengluo and the purple-skinned ginseng were instantly immobilized where they stood. Gu Changsheng's eyes turned sharp, and he yanked them both out with a single grab. Looking at the peak tier-six spirit creature and the peak tier-four ginseng... The corners of Gu Changsheng's mouth twitched violently. If he remembered correctly, this plump, white radish seemed to be Li Guanqi's spirit creature. Both spirit creatures were covering their mouths, radiant multicolored light flashing through their cheeks and illuminating their faces. Seeing the unsealed jade boxes filled with countless ginseng and radish slices, Gu Changsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry in fury. At the thought of Li Guanqi, Gu Changsheng was left with no choice but to teleport both spirit creatures away. Inside an isolated grotto-heaven blessed land, Gu Changsheng kicked Pengluo in the backside and snapped irritably, "Stop fucking holding it in, you'll burst in a second! "Break through if you need to! I'll settle scores with Li Guanqi later!" Hearing that Gu Changsheng wasn't going to kill him, Pengluo grabbed the ginseng and promptly prepared to make his breakthrough. Just then, Li Guanqi returned. Stepping into the grand hall, he was met by three old men chuckling to themselves. "Uh... seniors, where is Senior Gu?" Han Yuan and the other two exchanged glances before bursting into hearty laughter. "Hahahaha! Old Gu's Pill Storage Pavilion was completely cleaned out by your big white radish! "Right now, they seem to be preparing for a breakthrough inside the grotto-heaven." Li Guanqi's face darkened like the bottom of an iron pot. Sure enough, the very thing he had feared had come to pass. "Damn that brat! Sooner or later, I'm going to seal away its ability to slip through boundaries!" Leaving those words behind, he rushed toward the grotto-heaven realm without a moment's delay. Yet just as Li Guanqi departed for the realm, numerous pairs of eyes within the Gu clan domain were intently tracking his movements. Several individuals had already prepared to leave the domain under the pretext of carrying out missions. Yet whether by strange coincidence or design, every single one of them was held back by all sorts of different reasons! Tang Ru stepped out of the teleportation array. Closing his eyes, he took in the dense spiritual energy surrounding him, unable to hold back his praise. "Is this the Luoxia Domain? "It truly is an auspicious land of outstanding figures and abundant spiritual energy..."
