Chapter 55 Shen Qiushui: Just an Ordinary Friend

After putting away the Yimu Divine Thunder, he saw Xiao Luoyu who had arrived at the top of the mountain at some point.

Fang Heng smiled, walked over and said.

"Thank you, Second Senior Sister, for protecting me."

Xiao Luoyu rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"I just got here too."

"Junior brother, how did you comprehend the Yimu Divine Thunder?"

The curiosity in Xiao Luoyu's heart was like a huge rock, disturbing her heart.

Fang Heng shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed tone.

"It's nothing."

"I saw the heavy thunderstorm today and the rice harvest in the fields, and I was inspired to give it a try."

"I didn't expect that I would be able to comprehend the Yimu Divine Thunder directly."

"It was indeed an accident."

"Tried it?" Xiao Luoyu's eyes widened, his tone filled with helplessness and amazement, "Your talent is simply outrageous!"

"In addition to comprehending the Yimu Divine Thunder, I also gained other things."

"Second Senior Sister, please move aside and don't get affected."

A strange look flashed in Xiao Luoyu's beautiful eyes.

What else does this little junior brother plan to do?
Fang Heng's expression became serious.

He suddenly raised his hand, and a powerful and sharp Jiamu divine thunder condensed in his left hand.

With a flip of his right hand, his magic power gathered and condensed into a soft and continuous Yimu divine thunder.

Two completely different lightning bolts intertwined in his palm.

One hard and the other soft, one yang and the other yin.

They collide and blend with each other, yet repel each other.

The moment the lightning intertwined, a heart-pounding aura emanated.

Even the surrounding cypress trees rustled and their leaves fell.

Seeing this, Xiao Luoyu's face suddenly changed and he shouted hurriedly.

"Junior brother, you don't want to merge the Jiamu Divine Thunder and the Yimu Divine Thunder, do you?"

"This is too dangerous!"

"The conflicting forces of yin and yang can backfire on you if you're not careful."

Fang Heng smiled slightly, and a glimmer of eagerness flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Second Senior Sister, I won't do anything rash."

The words have not yet fallen.

Fang Heng suddenly clasped his hands together, and the two divine thunders suddenly collided with each other.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst out from the palm of his hand.

It's like a dazzling sun, illuminating the entire mountain.

Feeling the terrifying power contained in the two thunders.

It's like an erupting volcano or a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, and it's impossible to control it.

Fang Heng frowned. He originally wanted to harmonize yin and yang and completely integrate the Jiamu Divine Thunder and the Yimu Divine Thunder.

But the fusion of yin and yang was much more difficult than he had expected.

Sigh.

Fang Heng could only helplessly throw it away.

Two bolts of lightning shot out.

It hit the mountain and exploded.

The huge shock wave knocked the surrounding bamboo forests all over the place.

Even Xiao Luoyu was forced to take several steps back by the air wave.

"Pity."

"Combining yin and yang is not so easy after all."

Fang Heng looked at the dissipating lightning and shook his numb arms.

There was a hint of regret on his face.

Xiao Luoyu rushed forward and supported Fang Heng, his tone full of blame and concern.

"Junior brother, how are you?"

"I told you this is too dangerous, why don't you listen?"

"Don't be so reckless next time!"

Fang Heng nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and said.

"However, this union of yin and yang was not without gain."

Fang Heng was halfway through his words when he attracted Xiao Luoyu's curious gaze.

"Jia wood is yang, a strong and resilient wood, a towering tree."

"Yi wood is yin, representing flexible grasses, vines, and flowers."

"If we take the energy of plants and trees as the master, governing yin and yang, although we cannot achieve the most ideal harmony of yin and yang, we can still unify the Jiamu Divine Thunder and the Yimu Divine Thunder."

Fang Heng spoke slowly, sharing his insights into Jiamu and Yi Mu.

Since Xiao Luoyu could become the disciple of Taoist Xuanqing, his comprehension must be quite good.

After Fang Heng's guidance, he immediately understood what Fang Heng wanted to do.

"Junior brother, you want to refine the elixir and use the plant energy in the elixir to control the two divine thunders."

"Second Senior Sister is indeed very smart."

Fang Heng said this in an approving tone.

Xiao Luoyu rolled his eyes and spoke unhappily.

"No matter how smart you are, you are not as good as a monster. You are just repeating what others have said."

Although Xiao Luoyu showed disdain, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Obviously, he was very satisfied with Fang Heng's compliment.

If it was a fool's compliment, Xiao Luoyu would be used to it, because her talent was far superior to that of ordinary people.

But it is a very different thing to receive praise from a Taoist demon like Fang Heng.

Then, Xiao Luoyu and Fang Heng walked down the mountain shoulder to shoulder.

On the way down the mountain, Xiao Luoyu couldn't wait to figure out how to refine the elixir that could control the Jiamu Divine Thunder and the Yimu Divine Thunder.

"Second Senior Sister, what ideas do you have about refining the Yin-Yang Thunder Pill?" Fang Heng asked.

"Yin and Yang clash, and ordinary refining methods are definitely not able to control two divine thunders."

"unless……"

Xiao Luoyu was halfway through her speech when a flash of inspiration came into her mind.

"Unless what?" Fang Heng asked, full of anticipation.

"Unless... use Ice Soul Jade Marrow to suppress the thunder."

Fang Heng's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Ice Soul Jadeite? I remember there's a piece in the palace's storehouse."

"I'll have someone fetch it right away."

Fang Heng felt that letting Xiao Luoyu, an alchemy fanatic, to refine the Yin-Yang Thunder Pill was the right choice.

After having an idea, Xiao Luoyu couldn't wait to verify her guess.

In the alchemy room.

The fire is rising.

Looking at Xiao Luoyu's skillful alchemy technique, Fang Heng nodded slightly.

His alchemy skills are far inferior to Xiao Luoyu's.

It is probably not an easy task to stand out at the Five Emperors Dharma Assembly.

Especially the young master of Burning Sky Valley, who even surpassed the second senior sister at the last Five Emperors Conference.

Three days later, in the alchemy room.

Xiao Luoyu was sweating profusely, and her clothes were half wet.

Her shoulders were slightly exposed, and she seemed to have a special talent.

No matter what clothes she wears, they will unconsciously become off-shoulder outfits.

Buzz!
There was an unusual movement in the alchemy furnace.

Xiao Luoyu's pretty face showed excitement as she sensed the situation in the alchemy furnace with her spiritual sense.

"quick!"

"Inject the Jiamu Divine Thunder into the Qian position."

Xiao Luoyu looked nervous and gave instructions to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng did not dare to delay. He flicked his fingertips and blue thunder danced on his fingertips.

Whoosh!
The Jiamu Divine Thunder was injected into the Qian position of the alchemy furnace according to Xiao Luoyu's instructions.

After the Yin-Yang Thunder Pill absorbed all the Jiamu Divine Thunder, Fang Heng quickly withdrew.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Luoyu shouted loudly.

"Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Kun Position!"

Continuous Yimu divine thunder jumped and flashed in the alchemy room.

A quarter of an hour later.

The Jiamu Divine Thunder and the Yimu Divine Thunder gathered in the Yin-Yang Thunder Pill.

The humming sound in the alchemy furnace became louder and louder.

It seemed as if it would shoot out from the furnace in the next second.

boom--

The furnace cover shot up into the sky.

Twelve thunder balls wrapped with yin and yang patterns were suspended in the air.

It exudes a heart-stopping aura.

Even if you close your eyes, you can still feel the terrifying thunder emanating from it.

"Success!"

Xiao Luoyu slumped on the ground and let out a long sigh.

The belt slipped off, revealing more of her shoulders. Her porcelain-white skin was brighter than snow.

Noticing Fang Heng's wandering gaze, Xiao Luoyu's expression became somewhat complicated. She silently pulled up her belt. She stretched lazily, a trace of fatigue appearing on her pretty face.

"Junior brother, you've really made me suffer this time."

As soon as she said this, Xiao Luoyu suddenly realized that her words were full of ambiguity, and her pretty face turned slightly red.

"Ahem, Second Senior Sister, you've worked hard."

"Second Senior Sister, please keep these three Yin-Yang Thunder Balls."

Seeing Fang Heng giving him three Yin-Yang Thunder Pills, Xiao Luoyu narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.

"You are so attentive, don't tell me you have any improper thoughts about me?"

"Cough-cough-"

"Senior sister, you misunderstood!"

"I just think that this Yin-Yang Thunder Ball is extremely powerful, and it would be best for you to keep it for self-defense, Senior Sister."

Fang Heng was stunned and waved his hands quickly.

"Hmph—that's good!"

"Remember, don't hit on me."

"My life has long been dedicated to the Dao of Alchemy."

Xiao Luoyu snorted lightly and tapped Fang Heng's chest with his fingertips.

……

In the secret realm of Daishan.

A man in black kneeled before the ethereal girl.

The ethereal girl, with her bare pink feet and silver bells hanging on her ankles, has a unique charm.

The man in black didn't dare to look at this scene at all. He lowered his head very low, as if he wanted to bury it in the ground.

He reported in a low voice with a trembling voice.

"Saintess, the second son of the Liu family is being hunted by the Jinyiwei."

"If we don't take action, he won't survive tonight."

"Take action? Why should we take action?"

The White Lotus Saint jokingly raised the corner of her mouth and spoke in a calm tone.

"Don't forget the purpose of our coming to Daishan Secret Realm."

"The Liu family belongs to Zhou Jueyin, so don't bother with them."

"What's more, Zhou Jueyin was able to block the induction of the God-Slaying Formation. I think his status in the Daqian court must be extremely high."

"I want to see how Zhou Jueyin will react when the Liu family is captured."

……

Jiangnan, Danyang County.

In a remote little mountain village, flames shot up into the sky.

The blazing flames burned fiercely, illuminating the night as bright as day.

There were corpses everywhere in the villa.

The mutilated bodies were lying all over the ground.

The strong smell of blood filled the air, making people feel nauseous.

A sting.

The guard of the East Palace pulled the sword out of the chest of a beautiful woman.

He had a cold expression as he stared at the corpse on the ground and spoke coldly.

"Humph--"

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

"Why don't you just hand over the military manual obediently?"

"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would treat you unfairly?"

As he said this, the guard of the Eastern Palace angrily kicked the beautiful woman's head to pieces to vent his dissatisfaction.

Liu Qi, who was standing aside, looked at the tragic situation in the villa with a pale face.

He now regrets getting involved in this matter.

I thought it was just a simple recruitment, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

The descendants of the Huo family are also stubborn.

You haven't commanded an army for a long time, so why don't you take out your military books and exchange them for wealth and glory?
Since the negotiation failed, Liu Qi wanted to make another plan.

Unexpectedly, the guard sent by the prince was also a cruel and ruthless person.

If they disagree with each other, they will start killing.

The entire Huo family was slaughtered.

The brutality of the means left Liu Qi with lingering fears.

"Sir, I found the military manual."

The leader of the guards took the military book, took a look at it, and then handed it to Liu Qi.

"Mr. Liu, take a look at this military manual. Is it a unique copy?"

Liu Qi took the blood-stained military book and began to read it carefully.

After looking at it for a moment, he nodded.

"It is indeed a unique copy of the Art of War."

As he said this, he returned the blood-stained military book to the leader of the guards, as if he was disgusted with the bad luck.

withdraw troops.

The guards of the East Palace were well-trained and quickly withdrew from the villa.

until dawn.

The color of fish belly is white in the east.

The smell of blood in the villa gradually dissipated.

A 28-year-old girl crawled out of the tunnel, her face covered in tears.

"Dad, Mom, I will seek justice for you, even if I have to file a complaint with the emperor."

Wiping the tears from her face, the girl revealed a look of determination and resolve between her brows.

……

Two days later.

Shang Mansion, Plum Garden Warm Room.

Shen Qiu Shui wrapped in fox fur, curled up on the soft couch.

The white porcelain tender feet stepped on the ground dragon, revealing a touch of crystal white.

Shang Hongye sat beside her, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, listening to Shen Qiu Shui's speech.

The Prince of Zhenbei had once been instructed by the Prime Minister Wu. When Shang Hongye came to the capital, the first place he visited was the Prime Minister Wu's Mansion.

Shen Qiu Shui has always been a chivalrous woman, and she is full of envy for Shang Hongye's life of clearing out bandits and commanding the three armies.

After a few interactions, the two girls became close friends and could talk about anything.

Today, Shen Qiu Shui stayed overnight at Shang Mansion and talked about storytelling with Shang Hongye.

"What happened next? Sun Wukong discovered that Bi Ma Wen was a lowly official, so he went to the Ling Xiao Palace?"

"This...I don't know either."

Shen Qiu Shui stuck out her pink tongue and looked apologetic.

"Didn't you, Qiu Shui, write this storybook?" Shang Hongye showed a hint of curiosity in his heroic eyebrows.

"Actually... the story of the Great Sage was told to me by a good friend."

There was a hint of affection in Shen Qiu Shui's beautiful eyes, and her tone was gentle.

Seeing Shen Qiu Shui's expression, Shang Hongye immediately understood.

She suddenly moved closer to Shen Qiu Shui, a cunning look flashing in her eyes.

"Could it be... that the friend you mentioned is the one you love?"

When Shen Qiushui heard this, her cheeks immediately turned red.

So beautiful that it seems to be dripping with blood.

She stamped her feet and pushed Shang Hongye in embarrassment.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"That's not the case!"

Shang Hongye smiled but said nothing.

Shen Qiu Shui's reaction was just short of having the word "lover" written all over her face.

"Sister Hongye, don't talk about me anymore."

"What about you?"

"Which prince do you like?"

Shen Qiushui asked curiously.

Shang Hongye's choice of a son-in-law caused a sensation in Yujing City.

Now, everyone in Yujing knows that the eight princes are fighting for Shang Hongye, the proud daughter of heaven.

Shang Hongye shook his head and sighed, with a hint of loneliness in his tone.

"If I were as free as you, I might be able to choose who I like."

"Unfortunately, I am the only daughter of the Zhenbei Palace. I must shoulder the burden of the palace and cannot be willful."

Shen Qiu Shui envies my life, but don’t I envy Shen Qiu Shui’s life too?
If I were like Shen Qiu Shui, with two talented brothers, why would I have to live such a tiring life?

After hearing this, Shen Qiu Shui felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He gently held Shang Hongye's hand and whispered.

"Hongye, you've worked hard."

Shang Hongye shook his head and forced a smile.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. As for you, now that you have someone you love, you must hold on to them."

"I've already said that he and I are just ordinary friends with similar interests."

"Yeah—I see, we're just ordinary friends!"

Although she said that, Shang Hongye's tone clearly showed that she didn't believe the explanation of "ordinary friends" at all.

"Go to bed early, tomorrow is the plum blossom viewing banquet."

"I hope everything goes well at tomorrow's plum blossom viewing banquet."
