Chương 2: The Emperor's Daughter

Fang Yang rarely ventured into the world, and this was the first time he had ever felt this way.

He channeled his magical power, secretly calculating, trying to deduce the specific opportunity. However, opportunities are mysterious and profound, something that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

His calculations yielded no results.

"Since we can't predict it, let's just leave it to fate!"

Opportunity, opportunity—the key lies in the word "fate." Before encountering an opportunity, it cannot be forced. Fang Yang continued his journey, a flash of divine light beneath his feet propelling him swiftly towards the prehistoric continent.

"Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death." Fang Yang clearly saw the coastline, but a whole day had passed, and the coastline was still just as long.

Suddenly, a dragon's roar and the sound of waves entered Fang Yang's mind.

Fang Yang looked out and saw a huge wave suddenly rise in the sea ahead. In the midst of the towering wave, a hundred-meter-long azure dragon was manipulating the seawater, attacking a little girl frantically.

The little girl was wearing a crimson fairy robe that completely enveloped her, blocking all of the Azure Dragon's attacks.

"Waaaaah, I just came to the beach to play, and you came to tease me. When you couldn't tease me, you killed Sister Hongluan, and now you want to kill me too. You dragons are so domineering..."

The little girl was only three years old; without the protection of the fairy robe, she would have died long ago. Even so, the fairy robe's power was weakening and was on the verge of collapse.

The hundred-meter-long azure dragon roared repeatedly, its eyes gleaming with even greater excitement, as if it thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of controlling the lives of others.

"You human brat, how dare you mock this prince! Today I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget!"

Fang Yang frowned slightly; he could tell the little girl was human. Since she was human, he decided to try and save her.

Why not do what you can to save a life?

As a disciple of the Jie Sect, he wasn't afraid of encountering a top-tier (T0 version) villainous parent. If he did, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate the demon and uphold justice.

Boom!

As soon as Fang Yang raised his hand, a rolling thundercloud appeared above his head. He reached out and grabbed, and the lightning from the heavens gathered together, condensing into a thunder whip as thick as a water bucket.

Sensing the change in his surroundings, the little green dragon suddenly looked up, and his pupils contracted at the first glance. He saw a long dragon made of lightning swooping down towards him.

The little green dragon could no longer tolerate teasing the little girl. He quickly released her and tried to fight the thunder dragon. However, the lightning was too fast. Before he could react, the thunder dragon had him tightly bound.

Zizizi!

Countless divine thunderbolts exploded inside the little green dragon's body, charring its scales and turning its internal flesh into a bloody mess.

Finally, the little green dragon closed its eyes and fainted.

Fang Yang struck with extreme force; under the Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder, even the little Azure Dragon's foundation was destroyed. Even if he could heal his injuries, his cultivation would be unlikely to improve.

If it were an ordinary child today, he would probably have died long ago, definitely not lasting until he appeared. Although, in terms of the growth rate of the dragon race, the little green dragon is still just a young dragon, Fang Yang doesn't care about that.

While dealing with the little green dragon, Fang Yang didn't forget to rescue the little girl. He lifted his left palm upwards, and a large patch of seawater solidified into a giant hand, lifting the little girl out of the water.

The little girl had narrowly escaped death and, upon returning to safety, immediately burst into tears.

Fang Yang wasn't very good at comforting children, so he stood quietly by the side the whole time, watching the little girl cry. After only five or six cries, the little girl surprisingly calmed herself down and stopped crying.

"Thank you so much, Immortal Master, for saving my life."

The little girl wiped away her tears and bowed respectfully to Fang Yang. Although she was very young, she was remarkably sensible. Without waiting for Fang Yang to ask any questions, she introduced herself.

"My name is Nüwa, and my father is Shennong, the supreme ruler of the human race. While my father was discussing plans to control the Yellow River floods with Hebo Fengyi, I got carried away and secretly ran to the seaside to play in the water. Who knew I would encounter this demonic dragon. He first used magic to toy with me, and when he saw that I resisted, he became enraged and tried to kill me. If it weren't for Sister Hongluan sacrificing herself to protect me, I would have been killed by him long ago."

It's hard to believe that a three-year-old girl could recount the whole story so clearly. Fang Yang then realized that he had inadvertently saved the human princess.

He was a man of the world, and the emperor and princess were nothing to him.

However, Shennong the Great devoted himself to the people, even risking his life to taste all kinds of herbs. His ability to save Shennong the Great's daughter can be considered as preventing a tragedy.

"Princess, your guards are dead. I will now send you back to the Yellow River Dragon Palace."

Fang Yang had no interest in babysitting other people's children, even if the child was a human princess. Right now, he only wanted to collect his breakthrough reward and wait for the Tongtian Sect Leader to give his sermon.

"Immortal Master, I don't want to go to the Yellow River Dragon Palace. I want to stay here and find Sister Hongluan's soul."

Suddenly, the girl's eyes filled with tears. The guard beside her had died protecting her, and all she wanted was to find his soul and perform a ritual to help him pass on to the afterlife.

However, Fang Yang had already checked and there was no trace of a soul in this sea area. He estimated that the Red Phoenix Fairy's soul had been captured by the ghost messengers before he arrived.

He had no intention of listening to the girl's opinion and planned to take her directly to the Yellow River Dragon Palace. At that moment, a faint pressure descended.

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in the void.

This was a man dressed in a fiery red imperial robe, wearing a Great Sun Heaven-Supporting Crown. His face was majestic, and he exuded an aura of royalty. Only his eyes revealed a hint of benevolence.

"Child, you've caused a huge mess this time. You left your father's side without permission, almost getting yourself killed, and you even dragged the guards down with you."

The moment Shennong the Great saw the girl, his eyes turned stern.

When the girl saw her father, the Emperor Shennong, she rushed over and came to his side.

"Father, this demonic dragon wants to kill me."

After the father and daughter finished their conversation, Fang Yang cupped his hands in greeting to the Shennong Emperor: "Fang Yang, disciple of the Jie Sect, pays respects to the Human Emperor."

"Many fellow Daoists in your esteemed sect preach among our human race. I am deeply grateful for your rescue of my daughter. Are you a human?"

Shennong the Great saw through Fang Yang's origins at a glance, then smiled and said, "Our human race has gained another one who has attained immortality. Fellow Daoist, your foundation is solid and your magical power is abundant. Fellow Daoist is an acquired human, and you have been able to cultivate to this level entirely thanks to your exceptional comprehension."

"However, if you continue cultivating, you will be bound by your foundation. I have a Creation-Mending Pill bestowed by the Holy Mother, which can enhance a cultivator's innate constitution. I give it to you to repay your kindness in saving my daughter's life."

As soon as Shennong Emperor finished speaking, a pill sealed by a five-colored crystal appeared in front of Fang Yang.

This elixir, resembling a lychee, is entirely white jade, with innate runes flowing across its surface, constantly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. Just by looking at its appearance, one can tell that this elixir is extraordinary.

Fang Yang was about to decline, after all, this pill was extremely precious. But when he looked up, the sea was empty, and only one person remained.

It turned out that after giving away the Creation-Mending Pill, Emperor Shennong left with Nüwa and the little green dragon.
