Chapter 422 Two Flowers Bloom, Each Telling a Story 4
If Wei Xi still can't recognize the name of the monster in front of him now, then he must be out of his mind.

According to the auctioneer in Chongxiao City, the Giant Crocodile of the Southern River Beach is a great demon beast on par with the Devouring Sun Beast. One wreaks havoc on the Eastern Barbarians, while the other causes chaos in the Southern River; both are violent, ferocious, and commit numerous evils.

Considering the fate of the Devouring Beast becoming a pet of the Zhenhai Sect, Wei Xi felt complicated as he looked at the moss on the beach before him.
On the one hand, like other monsters of the same period, this giant crocodile in front of him will, without any surprise, be killed by the founding ancestor of a certain sect, becoming a footnote in a legendary story and being submerged in the river of time.

On the other hand, anger surged within Wei Xi. The moment [Tears of the Dried-Up Sea] was in her hands, she'd run into the real culprit—wasn't this slander? Wasn't this framing?
Enraged, Wei Xi even suspected that the "Tears of the Dried-Up Sea" was smuggled out of the Bone Reef Sea by the Tenth Princess's subordinates, but something went wrong. Fearing for her life, the princess wanted to return it to its rightful owner through someone else.

They were just unlucky ones chosen by her. The so-called "a great reward will surely bring forth brave men" was just the Tenth Princess and the people from the Chongxiao City Merchant Guild conspiring to play a fool on them!
However, Wei Xi quickly calmed down. Not to mention that he didn't have solid evidence, the beast in front of him was enough to give him a hard time.

After all, the sphere of influence of the moss is in Nanjiang, and it is possible that it has met the subordinates of the longevity tree. If he is not careful while impersonating Lord Bai, he may be exposed by the giant crocodile.

Thinking of this, Wei Xi would probably break out in a cold sweat if he had a back.

Fortunately, Lian Gou's skin did not have this function, so Wei Xi's expression remained flawless.

The giant crocodile, however, drew his sword far away and plunged it into the waist of a mermaid who couldn't dodge in time, instantly slicing the mermaid in two.

The moss roared in fury, "You treacherous wretch, what are you plotting? Don't think I wouldn't dare kill you! I've killed humans, so what? Even if the true form of the Longevity Tree came, I wouldn't be afraid of it!"

Wei Xi, who was perfectly fine, felt a sense of sneer in his heart, but on the surface he looked grief-stricken, perfectly embodying the image of a loyal minister who was powerless to protect his lord after he had been humiliated.

The giant crocodile moss, accustomed to its domineering ways, was enraged by Wei Xi's framing. Coupled with its younger brother's punishment, the fire burned even brighter, and it decided to unleash its magic, preparing to slaughter this arrogant and lowly human.

Wei Xi felt his body sink, as if it had merged with the ground. He also felt yin and yang energy surrounding him and thought to himself, "This is bad. This monster has a really bad temper. And Lian Gou Lang's body has no root bone or qi palace, so there's really no way to advance or retreat."

"Alright, if anything happens to Lord Bai, what will you do when the Demon Chief asks about it later?"

A clear female voice rang out, followed by a burst of yin and yang energy that pulled Wei Xi out of the mud and tossed him onto the unaffected beach.

Having escaped one calamity but facing another, Wei Xi turned his head to look, and his heart skipped a beat:
The newcomer was a woman of perfect proportions, ten feet tall, draped in plain silk, walking on flowing water, with six-inch antlers on her forehead and colorful cloud-shaped earrings; her face was exquisitely beautiful and otherworldly, with a black tattoo composed of mysterious characters running across the middle of her face, and two thick, bright red tufts of blood and tears forming scars on the outer edges of her lower eyelashes; three silver rings were pierced on her left eyebrow, adorned with exquisitely crafted metal ornaments; a string of fiery red leather whips was tied around her waist, with a metal token hanging from them; her two snow-white arms were bare, adorned with various arm rings as thick as a thumb.

Honestly, this was the first time in Wei Xi's life that she had seen a contestant whose looks could rival Qin Feng's. Qin Feng was both heroic and ethereal; the one before her was otherworldly and exquisite. Both had their own unique charm, yet both were breathtakingly beautiful.

Half of Wei Xi's resentment vanished instantly.

The giant crocodile moss stopped its fighting and just glared at Wei Xi defiantly. Then it darted to the newcomer's side, circling around and asking all sorts of questions, just like a little swamp dog.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Lord Bai," the visitor said dismissively, ignoring the moss on the beach. "My two younger brothers are unruly and don't know their own strength when they're making trouble. I hope Lord Bai will be magnanimous and not hold it against them!"

Wei Xi was truly shocked this time—the two women, one an undeniable beauty and the other an absolute ugly duckling, looked nothing alike!
Could it be that this beautiful woman's true form is too unsightly to look at?

Thinking of this, Wei Xi felt endless regret, but her reason returned completely. She snorted coldly but stopped struggling. "Elder sister, you've wronged me! This man was just trying to kill himself. What's wrong with me sending him on his way? Besides, the sacrifices for the Green Moon Tide are never too many, so throwing him in will be considered that old bastard Changshengmu doing his part!"

"If you want to go with Tunqing, just say so," the woman, whom the giant crocodile moss called elder sister, said coldly. "Do you think I wouldn't grant you this little wish?"

Upon hearing this, the moss shuddered, its forelimbs transforming into human hands to grasp its own snout, and it shook its head ingratiatingly.

Wei Xi, moved by the sincere brotherhood among the demon beasts: ...

"Lord Bai, business is more important. I will take care of the moss on the beach."

Wei Xi had no choice but to agree. After all, people had said that "the two younger brothers are unruly," and if "Lord Bai" continued to press the matter, he would be being unreasonable.

After trying to figure out "Lord Bai's" feelings at this moment, Wei Xi pretended to be helpless and unwilling, and stood up with the help of the guards who came to support him.

Seeing the wound on Wei Xi's neck, the woman activated her Yin-Yang energy, and a stream of water under her feet split off, instantly healing the wound.

Wei Xi, who was able to speak again, maintained the upright and aloof persona of "Lord Bai" and began with sarcasm, "People say that the monsters of the Eastern Barbarians bully others by relying on their power, but now it seems that's a euphemism."

The woman raised an eyebrow, and Wei Xi felt water rushing across his neck, followed by a sharp pain.

"Sister!" Tanxian said gloatingly, "You changed your mind? Bleeding from the neck is difficult! I'll do it! I'll do it!"

“Go play somewhere else,” the woman gently stroked the crocodile’s head. “Since Lord Bai’s words are unpleasant, then speak less.”

Wei Xi, clutching his neck, felt a surge of admiration—this monster was even more petty and unreasonable than himself; he should learn from it!
It's just unclear which of the two groups, Luexi and Yuhan, this person belongs to.

It seemed the monster didn't intend to kill Wei Xi, and the wound quickly stopped bleeding.

Wei Xi could sense that the water flow driven by Yin and Yang energy had not disappeared, but was still applied to the wound on his neck, both to prevent the wound from healing and to stop the bleeding.

From this detail, Wei Xi knew that the demons and beasts used Yin and Yang energy when they roamed freely.

Although he did not see the so-called demon leader, Wei Xi boldly hypothesized that it was the "Sea Warrior".

After all, the seas of Dongyi are controlled by the Swallowing Sky Beast. Judging from what these two are saying, Luexi, Yuhan, Tanxian, and Swallowing Sky Beast must be brothers and sisters. Besides the "Sea Warrior" Wei Xi, no other beast can be thought of that can be above a local overlord.

Thinking of this, Wei Xi's spirits lifted; at least the bet was now on track.

In the story, Qin is the most beautiful woman in the world! So it's no surprise that Luexi, who controls the northern rivers, is stunningly beautiful.
