Chapter 123: Chapter 31: Frog God

Among the Demon Beasts, the more fierce and possessing special innate qualities, the higher their bloodline classification tends to be, and the stronger their power.

On the list of Demon Beasts in this realm, tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves, flood dragons, pythons, eagles, and penguins dominate.

Besides that, most are known for their special talents.

For example, treasure-hunting Spirit Rats, millennia-old Spirit Turtles, invisible Spirit Birds, and the like.

There are few famous frog-type Demon Beasts, with the Python Bull Red Toad being the most prominent.

In the entire history of the Qi Kingdom, Rong Jiangyan knows only of a Tier Three Great Demon-class frog-type Spirit Beast, which was a legendary Spirit Frog reared by an elder of the Thunder Flame Sect that was destroyed eight hundred years ago, and no other high-grade frog-type Spirit Beasts have been heard of.

“Help me see what level this frog’s bloodline belongs to.” Li Jizhou was indifferent to Rong Jiangyan’s expression.

However, Gua Gua clearly sensed the disdain in Rong Jiangyan’s tone.

“Gua~” It squinted its eyes slightly, directly turned around, squatted behind Li Jizhou, and didn’t even look at Rong Jiangyan.

It felt that women were not good things.

The last one abandoned it and insulted it, and this one looked down on it at first glance.

The more it thought, the angrier it got, as the colorful eyes on its back slowly opened.

Rong Jiangyan was about to step forward to check Gua Gua’s bloodline level when she suddenly felt a huge shock in the heavens and earth.

Then, an earth-shattering pressure unexpectedly appeared.

“Boom!” The next moment, a mountain-crumbling earthquake occurred, and the entire world went dark.

“Ah!” Rong Jiangyan was more severely impacted by the gigantic power and flew backward,

only stopping when she collided with the giant tree in the center of the Rong family’s ancestral residence, but she already felt all her meridians were crushed, her clothes were shattered by the huge pressure, and her body was covered in wounds without a single intact piece of flesh.

Upon reopening her eyes, she saw the entire Rong family ancestral residence turned to ashes, with broken limbs and corpses everywhere, while the few survivors amid a sea of bodies searched, crying…

The tremor left her ears buzzing, unable to hear, yet she could see despairing cries from the expressions of the survivors…

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened, as her closest mother lay not far away, half-corpse, eyes unclosed, still staring at her.

Then her father’s head appeared in view.

Following that, her grandfather’s, grandmother’s, uncle’s, and the dozen Spirit Beasts that grew up with her…

Ultimately, the remains of all those dearest to her appeared in her view…

“Ah!!!” At that moment, Rong Jiangyan was almost collapsing.

“Why, why, who is it? Who treated us this way? What did our Rong family do wrong?” Rong Jiangyan cried and roared.

The whole person was in despair!

And just then, a sudden thunderous sound rang.

Subsequently, the bodies and heads of those dear ones in view started to move.

They slowly closed in on Rong Jiangyan.

“It’s you! It’s all your fault! You offended the Frog God! This is the Frog God’s punishment for us!”

“Frog God?” Rong Jiangyan was shocked and despairing, her little face was already pale, tears covering her face.

But then she froze.

When did I ever offend the Frog God?

——-

Inside Li Jizhou’s house,

Rong Jiangyan was sitting in her previous spot, trembling, crying, and wailing.

Li Jizhou called several times to no avail, he couldn’t even use Magical Power to wake her.

Helplessly, he could only turn and glare at Gua Gua.

He didn’t know what kind of illusion Gua Gua created for this young girl.

“Alright, don’t be so petty.”

“Gua~” Gua Gua turned its head, closed its eyes.

As if to say, I am petty.

“Pa!” Li Jizhou immediately smacked its head.

“Undo it already, you need her to enhance your bloodline.”

“Gua~” Gua Gua suddenly looked at Li Jizhou with grievance, the eyes on its back shifting slightly.

——

“I did not offend the Frog God, I did not, I…” Rong Jiangyan tried her best to defend.

“Xiao Yan!” Suddenly, a calm voice came.

Rong Jiangyan looked up, seeing not far away, a man like a banished immortal walking over with a smiling face.

“Elder Li!” In despair, Rong Jiangyan exhausted all her strength and rushed forward.

It seemed at this moment, only Li Jizhou’s embrace could provide her any sense of security.

“Elder Li, our Rong family is finished, I… I…” Rong Jiangyan leaned in Li Jizhou’s arms and cried recklessly.

“Xiao Yan, don’t fear, this Pill Master will care for you…”

Suddenly, Rong Jiangyan saw Li Jizhou’s smile change,

Then his hand raised a long, thorny vine towards her back.

“Elder Li… ah!” Rong Jiangyan only felt a burning pain from the back.

Immediately, Li Jizhou’s whole body pressed down on her…

(Gua Gua had no experience, could only simulate the scene it saw while spying on Li Jizhou and Yang Yuyan in Spirit Pearl Mountain market.)

“Ah! Elder Li, no, please let go of me, you… let go…”

——

In the room, Li Jizhou heard Rong Jiangyan’s voice, his face turned dark.

He fiercely glared at Gua Gua, quickly took out an Illusion-Breaking Talisman from his storage bag.

“Gua~”

At the moment the talisman burst power, Gua Gua was bitten back, lost its balance, and fell to the ground.

“Elder Li… stop!” The instant the illusion was broken, Rong Jiangyan saw Li Jizhou, abruptly stepping back three steps.

“Hmm? I… this… just now I was…” In the next moment, Rong Jiangyan looked at the ordinary room before her, her eyes gradually turned puzzled.

Li Jizhou didn’t know what illusion Gua Gua gave Rong Jiangyan, but judging from the last thing Rong Jiangyan shouted, it seemed it wasn’t good.

“Sorry, just now it was its innate illusion!”

“…”

Hearing this, Rong Jiangyan slowly turned her head, incredulously looking at the flower frog she called.

“Illusion?”

“Frog God?”

“…”

“Gua~” Gua Gua coldly gave her a sidelong glance, arrogantly turned its head.

After a moment, Rong Jiangyan accepted this reality.

She slowly stood up, fearfully staring at Gua Gua.

Then, she hesitantly looked toward Li Jizhou.

The scenes just now were too realistic.

“Empty your mind, I’ll help stabilize your Divine Sense!” Li Jizhou instructed, pointing a finger toward Rong Jiangyan’s brow.

A moment later, as Rong Jiangyan’s Divine Sense calmed, some adverse effects from the illusion gradually dissipated.

“Elder Li, this… it actually has an illusion talent? This… this is no ordinary beast!” Rong Jiangyan finally understood Gua Gua’s strength.

However, she was even more in awe and fear of Gua Gua.

This guy is really petty.

“If you dare act recklessly again, I’ll take your Demon Core for Bai Yi to devour!

Today’s incident is the first, and can only be the last.

Without my permission, you’re not allowed to create illusions.” Li Jizhou used Divine Sense to warn Gua Gua, very seriously threatening.

“Gua~” Gua Gua was startled, timidly lowered its head.

It had witnessed Li Jizhou feed a Demon Core to Bai Yi.

“Remember our previously established Divine Soul Contract!” Li Jizhou also reminded Rong Jiangyan.

“Elder Li rest assured, Yan’er remembers!” Rong Jiangyan smiled nervously.

“Now, please help me examine its level, see what classification of Demon Beast it is, and whether it can be cleansed in the Spirit Blood Pool to enhance its talent?” Li Jizhou nodded satisfactorily.

“Yes.” Rong Jiangyan timidly approached Gua Gua.

“Frog God, I sincerely apologize for earlier, I was blind to the mountain before me, please forgive me!” Rong Jiangyan respectfully bowed to Gua Gua, waiting for its response.

“Gua~” Gua Gua heard her, instantly raised its frog head proudly, nodded slightly.

“Pardon me!” Rong Jiangyan then dared to reach her hand gingerly to touch Gua Gua.
