Chapter 248: Shi Song's Excitement

In a daze, they were just tied up; after the five spirit frogs regained consciousness, they had already been tied up inside the Spirit City of the Dao Yi Sect.

Looking around in confusion, they soon saw many spirit frogs that had been skinned and eviscerated; the five spirit frogs' eyes nearly burst.

You.........

What are you? I gave you a chance and you're useless.

The female spirit frog wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Xu Jie gave her a hard slap.

That slap left it dazed, staring blankly at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie, meanwhile, spoke with a look of frustrated disappointment.

Tell me, what else can you do? I've given you plenty of chances, letting you breed freely, yet you're still this slow—I've basically given you four male spirit frogs for nothing.

Saying that, he turned his head to the four male spirit frogs and likewise shouted.

And you lot—can't four of you satisfy one? How embarrassing!

After Xu Jie's tirade, the four male spirit frogs looked grim—can we really blame them?

Only an ox that's worked to death—have you ever seen a field ruined by plowing? They're spirit frogs, but damn it, they have limits too.

Xu Jie was thoroughly dissatisfied with these five spirit frogs, utterly disappointed.

From now on, you'll go to the Divine Sword Peak of the Dao Yi Sect and breed properly.

Since these spirit frogs can't keep up with the disciples' eating speed, we can only raise them for now.

Besides, the Divine Sword Peak disciples have experience with this; they already raise many aquatic creatures, so a few more spirit frogs won't matter.

Upon hearing this, several spirit frogs stared dumbfounded—what does this mean? Are we being raised like livestock?

Just thinking about being raised like pigs and dogs by these Dao Yi Sect disciples, the female spirit frog immediately shouted.

"A scholar may be killed but not humiliated; if you have the ability, kill me—my spirit frog clan will never be livestock."

Although the spirit frog clan isn't a major demon beast tribe, they absolutely cannot tolerate such insult.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a long sword was already at her throat, and Liu Shuang said coldly.

"Are you sure?"

Feeling the icy chill from the sword, the female spirit frog swallowed and whispered weakly.

"If it's just about giving birth, I should be fine."

She was a sensible frog; hearing that, Liu Shuang slowly moved the sword away.

Never did they expect that in the blink of an eye they'd become prisoners of the Dao Yi Sect.

What's more absurd is that the Dao Yi Sect disciples captured them solely because they wanted to eat spirit frogs.

This made the five spirit frogs feel ever more indignant, especially now as they watched the Dao Yi Sect disciples devouring their own offspring, wolfing it down.

"My child, it's father who's let you down, father who's useless."

A male spirit frog, watching a spirit frog that had been skinned and eviscerated being eaten by a Dao Yi Sect disciple, spoke sorrowfully.

This Dao Yi Sect disciple is practically a devil—who eats someone's children right in front of their parents?

But as soon as those words were spoken, Chen Mu from the side slapped him, speaking irritably.

"You still claim to be their father? Do you even know which of these spirit frogs is yours? Hard to say—maybe they belong to those three."

Saying that, Chen Mu also glanced at the other three male spirit frogs.

You guys spawn countless little spirit frogs in a day, yet you don't even know who's whose—now you're pulling this sentimental act?

After being slapped, the five spirit frogs fell silent.

Outmatched, they endured, temporarily bearing humiliation to survive, hoping for a future chance to live.

The Demon King of the Demon Race will certainly not let these Dao Yi Sect disciples off; someday they will pay the price.

Besides, the disciples were all busy eating and had no time to pay them any mind; otherwise, if they knew what these five spirit frogs were thinking, everyone would probably burst out laughing.

"Demon King? Go ask the Old Dragon King of the East Sea where he is now—it's a joke."

The meal was satisfying, but with the five spirit frogs captured, Ye Zhangqing also planned to leave the Heaven-Reaching River.

As for that, the disciples didn't really object.

Where there are spirit frogs, there are spirit frogs to eat; although their numbers are few, we should still be able to have them occasionally.

Besides, having captured several insect queens in Tree City earlier, the supply of wood insects can also be guaranteed.

Just as Ye Zhangqing, Hong Zun, and the others said they were ready to set out tomorrow, and everyone agreed, Hong Zun's Formation Disk suddenly lit up.

Upon connection, Shi Song's old face quickly appeared within the Formation Light Curtain.

"Junior Brother Hong Zun, where have you guys traveled to?"

Huh???

How did this old geezer suddenly contact me? Hong Zun was a bit suspicious, but he answered truthfully.

"Heaven-Reaching River."

"That's great."

Upon hearing that Hong Zun was in the Heaven-Reaching River, Shi Song immediately rejoiced, his old face almost blooming like a chrysanthemum.

Moreover, amidst his joy, there was a hint of shyness, leaving Hong Zun puzzled.

Did this old geezer drink too much today? He seems a bit off.

"If you have something to say, say it—I'm scared by that expression."

"Look at what you're saying—we're fellow disciples, aren't we?"

"If it's nothing, I'll hang up."

"No, there's indeed a small matter—it's that previous thing, Junior Brother, do you still remember............"

"The previous matter?"

"It's the matter involving Juéqíng Shītài."

Speaking of Juéqíng Shītài, Shi Song's old face reddened involuntarily, he looked all fidgety; upon hearing this, Hong Zun also finally reacted.

Seeing Shi Song like that, he couldn't help but say, feeling a chill.

I haven't even reached Withered Wood Hermitage yet?

I really can't bear Shi Song like this; he's old enough, he's really disgusting.

But upon hearing this, Shi Song beamed with joy.

No need to go to Withered Wood Hermitage.

Huh???

Shī xiōng, what do you mean by that?

Ah, Juéqíng Shītài is preparing to go to the Imperial Capital of Flame Wind Kingdom to give a lecture; my junior brother is currently at Heaven-Reaching River, the distance to the Imperial Capital of Flame Wind Kingdom shouldn't be far, right? How about we meet at the Imperial Capital?

You want to come in person?

Hmm.............

Speak properly.

I thought it was a rare opportunity, so I decided to go myself; however, with my junior brother present, that would be better.

Shi Song said solemnly, as if this decision were the result of his careful deliberation and constant weighing.

Seeing Shi Song truly bearing a look of regarding death as home, Hong Zun helplessly rubbed his forehead.

Since learning about Juéqíng Shītài's affair, Shi Song's image in his mind completely collapsed.

Originally, that impartial, fair and unbiased Elder Èr Zhǎnglǎo of the Dao Yi Sect seemed gone forever; whenever Juéqíng Shītài is mentioned, you see this old man's pathetic prospects.

He wished he could find a hole to hide in, his old face blushing at the slightest provocation.

Seeing Hong Zun delay in answering, Shi Song grew anxious.

Junior brother, you did promise me back then; this is a great opportunity, you can't go back on your word.

Seeing this, Hong Zun finally spoke extremely reluctantly.

Alright, let's meet at the Imperial Capital then.

Upon hearing this, Shi Song finally relaxed, but immediately began worrying about meeting the senior martial aunt.

Junior brother, what should I wear when I meet the senior martial aunt? What hairstyle should I do? It's been so many years since we last met; would I be too abrupt and scare the senior martial aunt?
