Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 997 - 149: The Continent’s No. 1 "Tragic" Princess

Chapter 997: Chapter 149: The Continent’s No. 1 "Tragic" Princess

The sun rises and sets, another day passes.

For those trapped within the Magic Waterfall, days always seem exceptionally difficult to endure.

The two Magic Waterfalls still roared with the sound of water, showing no signs of weakening or disappearing.

The Dragon Soaring had been trapped in the Magic Waterfall for an entire day.

The captain and all the passengers were anxiously waiting on the deck.

Yun Sheng leaned against the Golden Qilin, half-closing her eyes.

Bo Bo had left for a day already, in theory, he should have reached Penglai by now.

Not until dusk did a Skyship appear in front.

A cheer like an explosion erupted from the Dragon Soaring.

But Yun Sheng’s face showed no joy; she saw the insignia on that Skyship clearly.

The Golden Qilin also let out an unhappy low growl.

Wasn’t Bo Bo supposed to seek reinforcements from the King of Penglai? Why did a Skyship from Hou Qin come instead?

Moreover, standing arrogantly on the deck with that air of malevolence and fiery red hair, was none other than Emperor Dugu Xiu of Hou Qin.

"Might you be the Dragon Soaring? I am Dugu Xiu of Hou Qin," due to the unfamiliar sea area, Dugu Xiu’s Skyship conducted a carpet search to finally locate the exact position of the Dragon Soaring.

Upon hearing that the other party was Emperor Dugu Xiu of Hou Qin, the people on the Dragon Soaring were both excited and flabbergasted.

Emperor Dugu Xiu of Hou Qin was widely renowned on the continent, but he was known to be a ruthless and bloodthirsty individual, a formidable character. It was surprising that he would have the leisure to come to the rescue of another country’s ship.

Ye Beiming shared the same thought.

That little scoundrel Dugu Xiu hadn’t given up on his family’s Little Wildcat yet.

Yun Sheng also noticed that the captain of the Dragon Soaring, upon hearing the name Dugu Xiu, was not overly surprised but exchanged a covert glance with the experts from the Hunting Corps.

The water vapor from the Magic Waterfall filled the air. Dugu Xiu’s eagle eyes narrowed, searching through the Magic Waterfall across the deck but did not find the shadow that haunted his dreams.

He paused, "May I ask, is the Regent King of Great Zhou on board?"

With Dugu Xiu’s inquiry, the already wary captain and crew were even more shocked.

Not only did Emperor Dugu Xiu of Hou Qin come, but the Regent King of Great Zhou was also on board?

What kind of luck was this? Cold sweat beaded on the forehead of the Dragon Soaring’s captain.

These two figures were not to be trifled with. The captain blamed himself for the foolish decision to think it safe to transport "that item" using just a regular Skyship, unexpectedly meeting these two ominous stars by mistake.

But why was Emperor Dugu seeking the Regent King of Great Zhou?

The captain suddenly recalled a widely circulated rumor from a few years back on the continent.

It was said that Emperor Dugu of Hou Qin had admired the Regent Princess Consort of Great Zhou for a long time. He once attempted to forcibly seize her to Hou Qin, resulting in Ye Beiming, who was then just an idle Prince without real power, furiously declaring the bold words "Mountains and Rivers as Betrothal".

In a bloody confrontation, both Hou Qin and Great Zhou plunged into turmoil as a result.

In the end, the Beiming King claimed the beauty and became the Regent King of Great Zhou.

But the Regent Princess Consort of Great Zhou, after being abducted by Emperor Dugu of Hou Qin, was labeled as a disastrous fox spirit, and has since suffered from a severe illness, barely hanging on for life.

For this reason, the Regent Princess Consort of Great Zhou was recognized as the continent’s number one "tragic love" Princess Consort.

Nevertheless, even after Prince Dugu Xiu ascended as Emperor of Hou Qin, he remained infatuated with the Regent Princess Consort of Great Zhou, and to this day, no Empress has been crowned in the Post Qin Palace.

The captain pondered, could it be that Emperor Dugu of Hou Qin came today to assassinate the Regent King of Great Zhou?

Dear gods, these two behemoths better not choose this moment to fight.

The captain’s mind was a chaotic mess, while Yun Sheng was completely unaware.

She was even less likely to know that, as one of the parties involved, the "Regent Princess Consort of Great Zhou," the outside world perceived her as a powerless, fragile, and tragic figure teetering on the brink of death.

Regarding Dugu Xiu’s sudden appearance, Yun Sheng was still somewhat surprised about how he found them.

She looked again and noticed under Dugu Xiu’s left arm was a restless ball of pink.

Bo Bo was looking indignant and deflated, a rag stuffed in his mouth.

There was no need to say more; Yun Sheng understood.

Her unassigned Realm Divine Beast seemed to lack a good sense of direction, reportedly getting lost once while in Dihong City.

Hadn’t she already told Bo Bo to fly towards the sunrise?

Most likely, Bo Bo confused directions and flew towards the Post Qin instead of Penglai Pavilion, only to meet Dugu Xiu, who was also on his way to the Penglai Meeting.

Knowing Dugu Xiu, he was not a kind-hearted person.

If she didn’t respond, he would certainly turn around and leave, not caring about the thousands on board.

There were still some elderly, women, and children on the ship, as well as some sick people. Further delay might exacerbate the situation.

After some thought, Yun Sheng stepped out, "Your Majesty Dugu, long time no see."

Even though Yun Sheng had altered her appearance and voice, her clear and refreshing voice carried like a sharp blade into Dugu Xiu’s ears.

Through the Magic Waterfall, Dugu Xiu could only see a somewhat slender "man" standing at the ship’s bow.

Despite the change in appearance, Yun Sheng was Yun Sheng, her dark eyes and the faint dimples by her lips still softened the sharpness of Dugu Xiu’s eagle eyes.

After confirming Yun Sheng was on board, Dugu Xiu began the rescue effort, but his expression grew serious upon assessing the situation of the Magic Waterfall.

Previously, Bo Bo had vaguely mentioned the Magic Waterfall, and Dugu Xiu had assumed it was just a powerful Magic Restriction.

Dugu Xiu did not expect the scale of these two Magic Waterfalls to be so astonishing.

The two waterfalls were azure-blue, boundless, their height immeasurable, and stretched tens of nautical miles.

The water cascaded with mighty grandeur.

If Hou Qin’s Skyship rashly charged in, there was a fear of it also getting trapped within the Magic Waterfall.

The captain shared that they had previously attempted to break through using magic and fighting spirit, but all efforts were in vain.

"I find this Magic Waterfall rather peculiar, reminding me of a type of Demon Beast," Madam Chi Bi observed coldly for a while before mentioning by Dugu Xiu’s side.

Madam Chi Bi was from the Bahuang Tribe, and her knowledge of Demon Beasts surpassed that of Dugu Xiu, who had grown up within the Hou Qin Imperial Family.

"This type of Magic Waterfall, I once heard my father speak of it, it’s conjured by a large Sea Beast’s magic. Such a Sea Beast only grows in the deep sea, known as the Abyssal Tentacle Sunflower," Madam Chi Bi had never seen a Deep Sea Tentacle Sunflower herself but had heard about it from the Ba Snake Tribe Chief.

The Abyssal Tentacle Sunflower, strictly speaking, is not a Demon Beast but a carnivorous Demon Plant.

It roots in the deep sea, and as it ages, the anemone’s tentacles grow ever longer, mastering various mysterious Water Magic.

A Deep Sea Anemone that has grown for over five thousand years can have tentacles stretching thousands of meters long.

In the ocean, it’s considered an invincible presence.

"This type of deep sea tentacle monster specializes in a Magic Restriction called the Magic Waterfall, this restriction..." Madam Chi Bi was interrupted suddenly by a commotion from the Dragon Soaring.
