Chapter 471: This City Is Going To Have An Epidemic
Sheng Yang’s face turned pale!
What did Na Luo mean?
Sheng Yang thought of something bad. She suddenly bent down and grabbed the collar of Na Luo’s T-shirt. She asked her with a ferocious expression, “Na Luo, what do you plan to do?!”
Na Luo looked at Sheng Yang calmly, but she didn’t answer her question. “Yang Yang, this city is about to have an epidemic.”
Sheng Yang couldn’t help but raise her fist and punch Na Luo’s face.
After Na Luo received this punch, a dark green fist mark appeared on her fair and beautiful face.
Sheng Yang pointed at the high school behind her and scolded Na Luo while sobbing, “Na Luo, open your eyes and look. They’re all innocent children! They’re only fifteen or sixteen years old!”
“Look at this city again!” Sheng Yang grabbed Na Luo’s collar and raised her chin, forcing her to look at the bustling city and the pedestrians on the road. “Do you see that? These people, these families, this bustling city will be destroyed because of you and Su Xuanye!”
Sheng Yang pushed Na Luo away and said in extreme disappointment, “The merman race has let you down. You killed all the beast tamers of the merman race to take revenge, so I won’t say anything. The Su family of Kui Mountain harmed Su Xuanye’s mother, and Su Xuanye killed the Su family to take revenge. I can understand that. But now, you want to slaughter the citizens of the Prosperous Capital!”
“They are just ordinary people. They are ordinary people who work hard every day! What have they done wrong?! If you have hatred and resentment, come at me and all the Beast Tamers in the world. Why do you have to hurt the innocent people in the city?!”
After Sheng Yang roared, she leaned her forehead on Na Luo’s chest and cried in anguish.
Na Luo was like a tall pine tree. She stood quietly on the spot and let Sheng Yang vent her emotions.
After waiting for a long, long time, Sheng Yang heard Na Luo say, “Both me and the Blood Peac.o.c.k think that there shouldn’t be Beast Tamers in this world. Look at these children. How innocent and cute are they when they carry their bags and play with their cla.s.smates? But once they awaken their beast form and step into the world of the strong, they will become smug, arrogant, and greedy!”
If there were no Beast Tamers in this world, there would be fewer tragedies due to greed. That way, the young Su Xuanye wouldn’t have seen his mother being eaten by others, Na Luo wouldn’t have been surrounded by the merfolk because of her powerful bloodline, and the thousands of souls under the Imperial Dragon Mountain wouldn’t have died tragically in the hands of Garo Zhengyang.
Destroying all the Beast Tamers and making sure that no one on the Holy Spirit Continent could awaken their beast form was Su Xuanye’s ultimate goal!
“Yang Yang, sleep. When you wake up, everything will be settled.” After saying that, Na Luo gently pinched the back of Sheng Yang’s head. Sheng Yang’s consciousness was instantly stripped away, and in the blink of an eye, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When Yu Huang woke up, she realized that she was lying in a bamboo building.
The bamboo building emitted a sandalwood fragrance that made people feel calm when they smelled it. Yu Huang slowly sat up and pulled open the white gauze curtain. Only then did she realize that the small building she lived in was in the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain of Yufu City.
She remembered that the bamboo garden at the back of the mountain was the territory where the elders lived.
The Third Elder of the Sheng family was called Sheng Zhuying. She was a Grand Master-level Healer and had some prestige in the clan.
Yu Huang walked up the bamboo stairs to the first floor. Sure enough, she saw an old lady in a light gray shirt sitting on the cement ground outside the bamboo house. The old lady had white hair and a slightly hunched figure. She was wearing a pair of reading gla.s.ses and holding an embroidery needle in her hand.
Yu Huang silently arrived behind the old woman. She stuck her head out and looked in front of the old woman. Only then did she see that the old woman was embroidering a handkerchief.
There was an orange orchid embroidered on the white handkerchief.
“The worship festival is coming soon. I have to embroider it before that and iron it for my husband.” The Third Elder didn’t turn around. She only pushed the reading gla.s.ses on her face and muttered to herself.
Yu Huang squatted beside the Third Elder. She held her chin with both hands and stared at the orchid as she asked, “Third Grandma, I heard from them that your husband pa.s.sed away a hundred years ago. Is that so?”
The Third Elder was overjoyed when she heard Yu Huang call her Third Grandma.
The Third Elder held the embroidery needle and stabbed it down while trembling. Although her hand was trembling a little, the needle tip didn’t fall into the wrong place.
She focused on embroidery and said slowly, “Yes, my husband wasn’t a Beast Tamer. He was a writer who could write all kinds of imaginative stories. In his story, I saw the galaxy, the mountains and rivers, and also his unconcealable love for me.”
Yu Huang had heard the story of the Third Elder and her lover.
When they met, the Third Elder was already in her fifties, but she was still as young and beautiful as a young lady in her early twenties. Her husband, on the other hand, was a writer. His work was very famous, and they were even ranked in the top ten of the global literary works list.
After the two of them got married, they lived together for fifty years. It was said that when her husband pa.s.sed away, his hair was already white, but the Third Elder still looked like a young woman.
The Third Elder’s love story was a beautiful story that all the young men and women of the Sheng family liked to hear.
Sheng Xiao was the one who told Yu Huang the story.
Yu Huang turned to look at the hall of the bamboo house. She saw that one wall of the hall was neatly filled with the works of the Third Elder’s late husband. There were many kinds of love. Some people wanted pa.s.sionate love, while others want tranquil love. What she wanted was to live with Sheng Xiao forever.
“Third Madam, is the Young Master with you or resting elsewhere?”
The Third Elder pointed at the building next door and said, “At the Second Elder’s house.”
“I’ll go take a look.”
In order to save her, Sheng Xiao had forcefully broken through. She didn’t know how his body was now. Yu Huang wouldn’t be at ease if she didn’t take a look.
Yu Huang stood up to leave, but she heard the Third Elder say, “You should wear a hat.”
Yu Huang was stunned.
Yu Huang subconsciously reached out to touch her hair, but she touched a bald head!
Where was her hair?!
Yu Huang hurriedly took out a mirror to size up her head.
Seeing that her beautiful hair was completely shaved and her head was smooth, even Yu Huang, who had never been vain, was about to cry from anger.
The Third Elder also felt guilty. She raised her head and explained, “There are five b.l.o.o.d.y holes in your head. If I didn’t shave your head, it won’t be easy to treat. However, I didn’t shave your head for you. It was shaved by the Second Elder. If you have any objections, go find him.”
Coincidentally, the door in the courtyard next door opened.
The Second Elder happened to come out with a kettle to water the chili tree in the courtyard. When he heard the Third Elder’s words, he immediately scolded in a Sichuan accent, “d.a.m.n it, Third Elder, you said that your hands were trembling and you were afraid that you would scratch her scalp, so you asked me for help.”
“Little Phoenix!” The Second Elder switched to Mandarin and said to Yu Huang, “Believe me, I’m innocent! Your Third Grandma is very evil and full of bad ideas!”
No matter what, her hair had already been shaved. Yu Huang wouldn’t really hold it against the two elders because of this. She put down the mirror and said in relief, “So be it if I’m bald. As long as I’m alive, do you have to worry about my hair not growing out?”
“Tou’re right! You’re also a woman, but you’re very reasonable. You’re not like some women who still bully others at their age.” After the Second Elder finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at the Third Elder before walking into the vegetable garden to continue watering.
The Third Elder treated him as deaf and didn’t lower herself to the Second Elder’s level.
Yu Huang didn’t find her hat, so she went to the Second Elder’s house with her bald head. The Second Elder lived in a wooden gla.s.s villa, and Sheng Xiao lived on the second floor.
Sheng Xiao was unconscious. Even when Yu Huang sat down beside him and held his hand, he didn’t react.
Yu Huang knew that Sheng Xiao’s situation was worse than she thought.
After a moment, the Second Elder finished watering and ran upstairs.
The moment he saw Yu Huang’s worried expression, he knew what this girl was worried about. The Second Elder leaned against the door frame and said to Yu Huang, “This kid is only at the intermediate-stage of the Supreme Master Realm, but he forcefully broke through to the Grand Master Realm. He was too reckless!”
Yu Huang hurriedly turned around and asked the Second Elder, “Then what’s his current condition?”
The Second Elder pouted and blew at his white beard. He said angrily, “What’s going on? There’s a seedling that hasn’t even taken root in the paddy field, yet you’re already in a hurry to pull him up! The root tendon of this seedling has been torn apart, so how can it grow?! How can it grow?!”
The Second Elder’s words were crude but reasonable.
Yu Huang’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Her face turned slightly pale as she asked in disbelief, “Then he won’t be able to cultivate anymore in the future?” Yu Huang couldn’t bear to ask this question.
Could a proud person like Sheng Xiao accept it if he couldn’t continue cultivating?
Yu Huang felt even worse when she thought about how Sheng Xiao did all of this for her.
When the Second Elder saw that Yu Huang was about to cry, he immediately rubbed his nose helplessly and hurriedly went to find a tissue. He took a piece of paper and handed it to Yu Huang. He hurriedly said, “Don’t cry. This matter isn’t that serious.”
Yu Huang had no intention of crying.
What could crying solve?
After she found out that Sheng Xiao could still be saved, Yu Huang’s eyes lit up with hope. She asked the Second Elder, “Second Elder, what should we do now?”
The Second Elder said, “There’s another way to salvage the situation.”
“What way?”
“I need something. With this, the Young Master’s body definitely won’t suffer any side effects.”
Yu Huang suddenly stood up and said, “What is it? Where is it? I’ll go get it!”
The Second Elder pressed down on Yu Huang’s shoulder and sighed with a troubled expression. “This thing does exist, but…” It was unknown what the Second Elder was hesitating about, but he refused to explain it clearly.
Yu Huang was anxious. She stomped her feet and urged, “Second Grandma, stop beating around the bush. Tell me what it is.”
The Second Elder looked at Sheng Xiao, who was unconscious on the bed. He said, “The heart of the Divine Feather Phoenix.”
Yu Huang’s eyes widened.
The Second Elder told Yu Huang, “The Divine Feather Phoenix and the Black Qing Sky Dragon are natural enemies. Their bodies are the best tonic for each other.” The Second Elder stared at Yu Huang sadly and said, “But the blood of the heart can only be taken out after surgery. And the heart is a person’s most fragile and important place…”
The Second Elder couldn’t bear to continue speaking and turned to go downstairs.
Yu Huang looked down at Sheng Xiao’s haggard yet handsome face. The scene of him breaking through to the Grand Master level and charging at Garo Zhengyang without hesitation appeared in her mind.
He dared to go through fire and water for her, so how could she be afraid of the heart-wrenching pain?!
