Chapter 12: Mo Yuan

The sky suddenly turned dark, covered with gray clouds. Thunder roared, and then, a heavy rain started pouring down. Cancan was soaked like a wet chicken. Looking up at the sky, she saw no breaks in the clouds. After hesitating for a moment, she shouted, "Let’s all hide from the rain for a while and play tomorrow, okay?"

Herang thought that her idea was very good!

However, nobody appreciated it.

Hua Qing’s face turned very ugly, staring at the sky, ready to face whatever was coming, as if he was about to fight a fierce battle any moment.

The old turtle looked even more worried, suddenly sensing something bad was about to happen. Sometimes it’s like that, good things don’t work, bad things do. Before the old turtle could react further, a thunder sounded, and a fireball rushed towards the old turtle. The old turtle couldn’t dodge it and was burned, screaming and rolling into the water, but strangely, the fire couldn’t be extinguished.

Hua Qing chanted a spell, and an invisible force rushed towards the old turtle, putting out all the fires on its body.

"Take the little turtle and hide." Hua Qing stood by the riverbank with a sword, feeling like he was the only one in the world.

After a moment of thought, Cancan picked up the little turtle and ran. She had a secret hiding spot over here. Cancan hid in the same spot as before, staring at the little turtle innocently.

Hua Qing looked at the old turtle and said, "I won’t kill you, but you won’t survive either."

Snowflake Glass appeared, Demon Lord appeared, everything is predetermined in the end.

The old turtle knew this truth well, but no one ever wants to die. It let out a roar and was about to rush towards the riverbank. Before Hua Qing could react, there was a loud rumble, as if a crack appeared in the water. A man in black with long black hair flew out of the water, grabbed the old turtle by the neck, his face filled with arrogance and sternness, "Hua Qing, long time no see."

The fierce wind and rain blew up Hua Qing’s clothes, but his bun remained neat. He spoke clearly, "Mo Yuan, it’s really been a long time…"

The last time they met was still five hundred years ago.

The old turtle kept struggling in Mo Yuan’s grip. The man holding him now was the most terrifying being in the world, Demon Lord Mo Yuan. Even the nine celestial beings couldn’t defeat him together before. Today, the once divine Xian Yue had fallen to dark magic, with no chance of trapping him anymore.

However, Hua Qing seemed unafraid, and he immediately attacked Mo Yuan with his sword. Avoiding the blow, Mo Yuan continued fighting back. He kept holding the old turtle by the neck, not letting go or killing it, just maintaining that grip as they battled. At this moment, the old turtle felt a glimmer of hope again.

Five hundred years had passed, and Demon Lord Mo Yuan was no longer as powerful without Snowflake Glass. Over those five centuries, Hua Qing had also changed from his original self.

Hua Qing’s spells kept swirling around Mo Yuan, and his Icebreaker Sword never stopped attacking. Meanwhile, Mo Yuan retaliated without holding back. As they fought back and forth, the old turtle wavered.

"Hua Qing, for the vengeance of Xian Yue and the grudge of Snowflake Glass, I will repay you a thousand times over," Mo Yuan said as he fought.

The two of them couldn’t resolve their differences, making it difficult to determine a winner.

At that moment, Cancan and the baby turtle stared at each other with wide eyes.

The baby turtle couldn’t hold back his tears anymore, crying out loudly, "Give me back my grandpa, give me back my grandpa…"

Cancan said, "This… this isn’t my problem!" And suddenly, something scary seemed to be happening. Why did the sky turn dark all of a sudden? It didn’t make sense. Even at Shu Mountain, she had never experienced such a situation.

"I want to go back, even if it means risking my life to be with my grandpa. You have no family, you wouldn’t understand. Let me go back, you can hide here. I must save my grandpa, I will go through life and death with him," the baby turtle exclaimed.

Cancan had no family from a young age. Seeing the baby turtle cry so heartbreakingly, she felt a pang in her heart, realizing she didn’t even have anyone she wanted to go through life and death with.

Cancan bit her lip, stood up and said, "Stop crying, I’ll take you back."

Baby turtle, "…"

Cancan grabbed the turtle’s neck and ran, while the baby turtle gasped, "I… I can’t… catch… my breath…"

Cancan quickly changed directions, pinched her legs and kept running, leaving the little turtle dizzy.

The two hurried back to the beach and saw a fierce battle unfolding. Hua Qing frowned, wondering why the foolish fox had returned. Despite being surprised by Cancan’s return, he quickly took action. However, at that moment, Mo Yuan was stunned. He suddenly let go of the old turtle’s neck and stared blankly at Cancan, exclaiming, "Xian Yue!"

Clearly, there was excitement in his eyes!

Cancan knew he had mistaken her for someone else but dared not say more, fearing that if she revealed she was not Xian Yue, the man in black might harm her. Seeing the man’s strong grip on the old turtle’s neck, Cancan realized he was no pushover.

The old turtle, now released, immediately tried to escape.

Even though Mo Yuan was affected, he knew what was more important. Without hesitation, he began chanting a spell, enveloping the old turtle in black flames. Ignoring the old turtle, he rushed towards Cancan and grabbed her wrist, saying, "Let’s go."

Finished speaking, several black poisonous needles appeared between his fingers and flew towards the old turtle in an instant.

Hua Qing lunged at Mo Yuan as he grabbed Cancan, but in a surprising turn, Mo Yuan still remembered the old turtle. Chanting another spell, he transformed into a shield to intercept the black poisonous needles. However, the shield seemed ineffective as the needles pierced towards the old turtle’s body. The colorful crystal within the old turtle’s body suddenly burst out. Hua Qing and Mo Yuan both tried to grab it, with Mo Yuan dragging Cancan along. Mo Yuan seemed faster, but as he reached out, Cancan transformed into a little fox and bit his leg, causing him to slow down.

Hua Qing seized the dazzling colorful crystal, and as he looked down, he saw the old turtle nearly burnt to death. With a thought, he threw the crystal towards the old turtle, causing the flames to disappear. However, the turtle lay weakly, perhaps injured by the needles.

Mo Yuan didn’t expect to see Xian Yue in front of him, but instead, he saw a little fox. Just as he was about to strike, Hua Qing leaped forward, snatching Cancan away. Cancan transformed back into her original form and clung to Hua Qing’s neck, rolling her eyes at Mo Yuan.

"My fox parents told me, anyone dressed in black is automatically a villain!"
