Chapter 714: Chapter 714 - 678: Little Suisui Says You Must Recognize the Master_2

"If we emerge from the seabed now and head back, the timing should be about right."

"Okay! Then I’ll wait another month. Hey! If there’s no life-or-death emergency this month, don’t just pull me in whenever you feel like it! What if I’m in the middle of a battle or something? If you pull me in then, I’ll collapse, and my life will be forfeit."

Ji Shang thought about the first time Xiaosuisui forcefully dragged him in, and the sword thrust from his own Song Yuzhong, and couldn’t help but gasp, feeling his chest ache!

"Oh! Then we have a deal. A month from now, Grandfather, you mustn’t fight with anyone."

After she said this, Xiaosuisui released Ji Shang.

When Ji Shang opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the cold ground, grumbling in resignation.

"You little ingrate, making me wait another month."

After grumbling, he couldn’t help but slap his forehead.

Drat it, I completely forgot to ask if she still has any Celestial Thunder Beads. That’s good stuff! If she does, I need to coax a few more out of her to keep!

Ji Shang was grumbling about wanting Xiaosuisui’s Celestial Thunder Beads.

Meanwhile, Xiaosuisui held a Dragon Bone, gleefully telling Ji Youzhi, "Seventh Uncle, after we leave the sea, how about we dash back to the Ji Mansion?"

Hearing this, Ji Youzhi laughed. "Well, well! You even know how to use idioms now. Truly impressive! You really are our family’s little treasure!"

Ji Youzhi hugged Xiaosuisui, rubbing her little head, his eyes full of adoration!

"HEE HEE! I didn’t practice the Mind Communication Technique in vain."

Xiaosuisui, with her short legs, slid off Ji Youzhi and began to set up the array while instructing Dahei.

"Dahei, listen. From now on, I’m going to trap you in this Dragon-Locking Array. Fortunately, you’ve just overcome your Thunder Tribulation, so you need to recuperate quietly from the lightning injuries and consolidate your cultivation. You can focus on healing here. Once I get out, I’ll find a chance to break the other three Dragon-Locking Arrays and send you a message. Then, you can break this array yourself and return here."

"Yes, Master!" Dahei quickly responded, then asked Xiaosuisui, "Then when will Master be able to send me a message?"

Xiaosuisui tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I don’t know either. But we can make a pact: if I can’t send you a message within five years, you can break the array and leave here on your own. Once we’re out, we’ll have everyone evacuate Yunzhou Island. That way, even if you break the array and cause a huge commotion here, it won’t harm many lives!"

Dahei rumbled his assent and willingly became the Array Eye.

Xiaosuisui set up the Dragon-Locking Array. Now, for the main event: undoing the original Dragon-Locking Array!

She opened the Array Eye and walked in.

A dark, massive form was chained in mid-air. Dragon roars echoed, vibrating Xiaosuisui’s eardrums.

"Who are you? Why can you come in here?"

Xiaosuisui blinked. She recognized it: this was the Cyan Dragon she had seen in the painting scroll when she was attempting the Second Level of the Array of Heaven!

"You are Ancestor Zhou’s Dragon!" Xiaosuisui tilted her head up, her big round eyes staring at the shackled Cyan Dragon above.

The Array Eye here is a living dragon, not a Dragon Soul!

"You’re just a little doll, yet your knowledge is quite extraordinary. You actually know about Ancestor Zhou!" The Cyan Dragon’s voice was ancient and weary.

"I recognize you because when I was attempting the Second Level of the Array of Heaven, I saw the scene of Ancestor Zhou fighting many Evil Cultivators alone. And at that moment, you suddenly appeared and took her away!"

"Master fighting many Evil Cultivators... You actually saw such a scene? This must be heavenly will. Are you here to break the Dragon-Locking Seal?"

Xiaosuisui nodded. "Yes, that’s right. So, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master and let me take you out?"

"Acknowledge you as master? On what grounds? You’re just a little doll. Such arrogance!"

Xiaosuisui frowned and immediately used Mind Pain, hearing the Cyan Dragon’s inner thoughts.

I am the Cyan Dragon, one of the Four Divine Beasts, and I command the Spiritual Qi of this entire region. Once I get out, if fate is kind, I will surely ascend to the true Divine Dragon Realm! As a descendant of the ancient Cyan Dragons, destined for the Divine Dragon Realm, how could I possibly acknowledge a mere child as my master?

After hearing the Cyan Dragon’s thoughts, Xiaosuisui blinked and said, "If you don’t acknowledge me as your master, then you definitely can’t leave here. If you can’t leave here, then you certainly won’t be able to ascend to the Divine Dragon Realm."

"What? You little doll, you’re quite capable! You actually knew I could ascend to the Divine Dragon Realm? Who exactly are you? How did you see through my cultivation level at a glance?"

Xiaosuisui wanted to say it was because she cultivated the Mind Communication Technique, but she was more annoyed right now that this Cyan Dragon wouldn’t acknowledge her as master.

The Cyan Dragon is, after all, a Divine Beast. But frankly, it’s currently just a great demon-level creature, not yet at the true Divine Beast level. If it acknowledges me as master, it will definitely be constrained by me and won’t cause havoc when it gets out. But if it doesn’t have a master’s restraint...

"Why should you care how I found out? Let me tell you straight! Today, you *must* acknowledge me as your master. Otherwise, I definitely won’t let you out. Even if I did let you out, I’d first rip out your Divine Soul and turn you into a dead dragon. You have two choices. Pick one!"

Xiaosuisui stood with her hands on her hips, her little chin held high, fiercely threatening the chained Cyan Dragon!

At that moment, the Cyan Dragon’s mind suddenly went blank. Only one thought remained: acknowledge her. He *must* acknowledge her as master! The thought of acknowledging her, even if it cost him his life, dominated his mind!

"Greetings, Master!" The Cyan Dragon’s voice was subdued. A ball of golden light drifted from the top of its head and hovered before Xiaosuisui.

Xiaosuisui instinctively reached out, caught the ball of golden light in her hand, and asked puzzledly, "What is this?"
