When a "Sea King" is Bound to a System [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 54.2

Fú Níng, facing six opponents, was still gaining the upper hand. By the end of the fight, she had completely lost her sanity, with only the thought of avenging Jiāng Yān in her mind.

She knew that even if she killed them all, Jiāng Yān would not return, but if she didn’t do something, she felt utterly useless, unable to keep the person she wanted to keep, no matter when.

Activating the Saṃsāra Pagoda and the Fú Xī Zither required extremely high spiritual power from the wielder. Wū Què and Yóu Lái quickly reached their limit and could only withdraw the divine artifacts to confront her with their own divine power. They were quickly beaten into immobility by Fú Níng.

She approached Yóu Lái, her eyes full of malice, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up. “I’ll start with you. Then, I’ll crush your divine souls one by one, letting you all taste the feeling of being scattered and annihilated.”

Veins bulged on Yóu Lái’s face, and his eyes were bulging, but he could do nothing. Like a lamb awaiting slaughter, he allowed Fú Níng to constantly drain his divine power.

Yáo Jī’s spiritual power was also running low, and she was barely holding on. Qiān Yè Xī grew anxious again, constantly pawing at the soil.

“Abomination, let go of him now!”

A beast’s roar echoed throughout Mount Xūmí. Yáng Huí stood upon a white tiger and lightly flicked her sleeve. Yóu Lái fell from Fú Níng’s grasp, gasping for breath. Wū Què quickly rushed forward to support him and channel divine power into him.

Fú Níng looked at Yáng Huí, who was slowly descending, a cold, curved smile on her lips.

“Senior Sister finally decided to come and subdue me herself?”

Yáng Huí extended her hand. Yáo Jī handed her the bead and respectfully stepped back two paces.

“Let Chán Yuè make the choice herself. If she is willing to go with you, I will no longer hold this against you.”

Fú Níng’s heart clenched. She dared not breathe, watching the bead in Yáng Huí’s hand emit a green light, gradually transforming into a human figure.

The white tiger roared three times. Dragon chants disappeared into the clouds. Thirty-six phoenixes circled above Mount Xūmí. The cries of the phoenix birds were clear and bright, announcing joy to the Six Realms.

Jiāng Yān slowly regained consciousness. Many memories she didn’t have before flooded her mind. Every face before her was familiar, including Fú Níng’s, who looked utterly surprised.

Except for Yáng Huí, all the Divine Monarchs knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, “We respectfully welcome Chán Yuè Divine Venerable back to her divine seat!”

Jiāng Yān gave them a faint glance and said, “There is no need for such ceremony. Rise.”

Yáng Huí looked at her as if she were her own daughter, her face a picture of maternal love.

“Make your choice. Whether this abomination stays or is eliminated.”

Jiāng Yān’s eyes darkened slightly. She raised her hand and reached for Fú Níng’s forehead. Fú Níng stood still, allowing her to extract the Demonic Crystal Stone’s divine power.

This process lasted for about fifteen minutes. Fú Níng could resist at first, but later she gradually hunched over, half-kneeling on the ground, and the horn on her head slowly disappeared.

Her spiritual power once again transformed into a crystal stone, resting quietly in Jiāng Yān’s hand.

“This demon is no longer a threat. Let her off this time. After all, she and I share the same lineage, and I cannot bear to kill my own kind.”

As Jiāng Yān spoke, a pair of white dragon horns sprouted from her forehead, gleaming under the sunlight.

Fú Níng was a jiāo (flood dragon), and she was a lóng (true dragon). They were fundamentally of the same species. Using this excuse to spare her life was justifiable.

Yáng Huí glanced between the two, understood the situation, and mounted the white tiger. “Wū Què and Liú Guāng, do you wish to return with me?”

Wū Què supported Yóu Lái with one hand and knelt on the ground. “Divine Venerable, may this disciple escort Junior Brother Yóu Lái to Pénglái before returning?”

“Ān Jūn Míng is at Kūnlún. Taking him back there will leave him without anyone to treat him. Come with me. The affairs of Mount Xūmí will be left to Chán Yuè Divine Venerable. She has her own judgment.”

Jiāng Yān actually did not. Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn’t know what to do with Fú Níng.

After everyone left, Yáo Jī, being perceptive, immediately carried the little fox into the mountain, leaving only Jiāng Yān and Fú Níng, staring at each other in silence.

“I have already interceded for you. From now on, do not make any more mistakes, and do not disappoint my kindness.”

Fú Níng grabbed her hand, her lips trembling. “Yān Yān, I am your Senior Sister! Don’t you remember me?”

She remembers now? Jiāng Yān scoffed inwardly and flung her hand away.

Why was her affection always so ill-timed? When she was Jiāng Yān, she missed Chán Yuè, and now that she was Chán Yuè, she called her Jiāng Yān.

This stand-in game was endless. Who was substituting for whom, in the end?

“Mind your status! I am Chán Yuè, the Divine Venerable of Mount Xūmí, not the Yān Yān you speak of!”

After Jiāng Yān spoke, Fú Níng lunged forward again and clutched her hand, holding it so tightly that Jiāng Yān couldn’t break free.

“Let go, or don’t blame this Venerable for being merciless.”

Fú Níng shook her head, looking pitiful. “No. If I let go, you’ll leave. I have no spiritual power and won’t be able to find you. Wherever you go, I will follow.”

Jiāng Yān: “…”

She glared at Fú Níng, who seemed completely oblivious, just gripping her hand, her eyes filled with anticipation and longing.

Jiāng Yān gradually lost her patience. She struck her with a palm, sending her flying away, her eyes completely devoid of emotion.

“I warned you long ago not to harbor expectations for me. I am not your so-called Yān Yān, and I will not show you mercy.”

Fú Níng was already at the end of her strength. The blow from Jiāng Yān nearly killed her. She lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

Jiāng Yān turned and walked inside without a second thought. After only a few steps, something coiled around her leg.

Looking down, she saw a small black snake with a horn on its head, one of which was only a partial stump.

The little snake was tiny and thin, gazing at her with dark red eyes, filled with hope.

Ah, this…

Is she so desperate for forgiveness that she’s revealing her true form to act cute?

Young people have no sense of decorum!

“Did you change into this form so I can capture you for snake wine?”

The little snake shook its head, still staring at her with its big eyes, looking adorably clumsy.

Is this really Fú Níng? She was always arrogant and cold, following the domineering style. Why the sudden change of character?

Jiāng Yān ignored her and continued walking inside. The little snake wrapped around her leg, successfully gaining entry to the mountain.

Yáo Jī was waiting for Jiāng Yān in the corridor. She planned to ask if she needed anything but then saw the small snake on her leg.

“Divine Venerable, this…”

Given the Divine Venerable’s past personality, she would never bring this Demon King into Mount Xūmí. After ten reincarnations, the Divine Venerable was truly very different from before.

“It’s nothing. Ignore her. When I’m in a good mood, I’ll catch her and soak her in snake wine. You still have immortal wine, don’t you?”

Yáo Jī: “Yes, Divine Venerable. As much as you need.”

“I won’t need much. After all, a snake this tiny might drown if there’s too much.”

The small snake wrapped around her leg darkened its gaze and rubbed its face against her.

I am not small! If it weren’t for easing Yān Yān’s resentment, who would willingly transform into this? Now even a small immortal maiden dares to mock me.

Angry as she was, reverting to her human form was impossible. Firstly, she was afraid Yān Yān would drive her out, and secondly, her spiritual power was too depleted to maintain it.

Jiāng Yān had just recovered her divine body and was still adapting. She walked into the room and glanced into the water mirror. Sure enough, her appearance and temperament had changed significantly.

The two horns on her head were quite attractive. She touched them, feeling a strange sensation.

The small snake wrapped around her leg saw this and hooked its tail around its own stump of a horn. It felt utterly miserable inside.

I want to touch Yān Yān’s horn too. When will I be able to touch it? This snake is suffering.

Her divine soul was still unstable. That night, Jiāng Yān sat on the bed to meditate, intending to smooth out the divine power within her body. The small snake lying next to her was affected by the divine power pressure and gradually began to grow larger.

Jiāng Yān felt something cold coiling around her. She opened her eyes and saw a huge snake head, flicking its tongue and licking her neck.

Although she wasn’t particularly afraid of snakes, the sudden sight still startled her.

She clamped down on Fú Níng’s neck. Her voice was sharp and cold. “Stop what you are doing now, or I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs.”

Fú Níng was on the verge of tears. She wanted to stop, too, but this beast body had a mind of its own. Who was to blame? It was the snake’s mating season!

Jiāng Yān thought Fú Níng would restrain herself after the warning, but instead, she became more aggressive, licking from her face down to her neck, even moving toward unspeakable places.

I will definitely let this horrible creature see how formidable this Lady is today!

Thinking this, she roared and instantly transformed into her original form.

Then both of them froze. Their four eyes met, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

Jiāng Yān: “…”

Save me! How did this happen? This was not my intention!

Did becoming a god mean I can’t even control my transformation anymore?!

No one could hear the roaring in her mind. Fú Níng, seeing Jiāng Yān’s beast form identical to her own, became extremely excited. She no longer suppressed her bestial nature and grew significantly larger, taking the form of a jiāo.

Jiāng Yān looked up at Fú Níng, who was much larger than herself, and quietly slid backward one step. What is going on? Why is a dragon smaller than a flood dragon?

Is this even rational?!

Fú Níng leaned closer, rubbing her face against Jiāng Yān’s and making a “hissing” sound. Jiāng Yān wanted to escape, but Fú Níng wrapped her tail around her, pulling her close. The dragon and the jiāo coiled around each other, inseparable.

“Fú Níng, stop! You are making me angry!”

Jiāng Yān was forced to speak out, only to find her voice was completely different from her usual one—half-scolding, half-seductive, sounding like a joyful sob.

What on earth is happening? Can someone please explain this to me?!

Jiāng Yān was exasperated, but Fú Níng stopped moving after hearing her words and spoke her first complete sentence since turning into a snake.

“Then you make the move. I am fine with anything.”

Jiāng Yān’s mind went blank for a moment. She didn’t understand Fú Níng’s meaning until Fú Níng actively relinquished the dominant position and coiled her tail onto Jiāng Yān’s.

Was this a sign of submission?

A firework exploded in Jiāng Yān’s mind. She was dazed for a moment before she moved, coiling Fú Níng up and rubbing her sensitive spot (the snake’s weakest point).

This was the snake’s vulnerable spot. Fú Níng was highly sensitive. Her tail, wrapped around Jiāng Yān, tightened, and she closed her eyes.

Jiāng Yān was very satisfied with her reaction. She whispered into her ear, “Your body is too big. It’s difficult for me to maneuver.”

Fú Níng shifted again, opened her eyes to look at her, tears welling up in the corners, and she transformed into a snake, matching Jiāng Yān’s size, looking deeply wronged.

This is my last shred of pride! I can’t get any smaller!

Jiāng Yān was pleased with this. She hooked her tail and wrapped it around Fú Níng’s body. Her voice was seductive and charming. “Such a good girl. Obedient children get treats.”

Fú Níng felt utterly mortified. She closed her eyes, feeling Jiāng Yān’s tongue and tail, and gradually relaxed her body.

After transforming into her beast form, her desire seemed insatiable. Jiāng Yān tirelessly demanded her again and again. Exhausted, she eventually collapsed onto the bed. Fú Níng supported her, gently kissing the corner of her lips.

“Yān Yān, are you tired?”

Jiāng Yān half-opened her eyes to look at her, tried to turn away, but was pulled back by the other. Fú Níng coiled around her neck and whispered, “It’s my turn.”

“What’s your turn… Mmm…”

Jiāng Yān felt she had been tricked. It was one thing to inexplicably transform into her original form, but it had been all night. Wasn’t this woman tired?

The fact was, Fú Níng was not tired.

She clung to Jiāng Yān from day to night, and again from night to day, not getting out of bed for three full days.

Yáo Jī came by once during this period. Upon hearing the commotion, she quickly covered the little fox’s ears.

“Uh… Divine Venerable may be busy. I’ll take you somewhere else to play.”

How could Qiān Yè Xī not know what that sound was? Her delicate heart instantly shattered into pieces. She buried her head in Yáo Jī’s chest and wept bitterly.

Yáo Jī patted her head and hurried away.

When she woke up again, Jiāng Yān had returned to her human form. She was a god, after all. Even though she had been utterly exhausted before, she woke up feeling refreshed.

The thought of all that had happened made her old face flush. She glared angrily at the side. The little black snake was sleeping, once again a tiny coil.

“Fú Níng, transform back this instant! I want to fight you to the death!”

She roared. The little black snake slowly opened its eyes and happily crawled into her embrace, rubbing its head against her neck.

Jiāng Yān: “…” What was I going to say again?

“Divine Venerable, the Divine Envoys from Pénglái and Kūnlún are visiting. Are you awake?”

Having learned from the previous experience, Yáo Jī dared not push the door open easily. She only announced it from a distance.

Jiāng Yān pressed the little black snake, which was licking her neck, under the blanket, adjusted her emotions, and pretended nothing had happened.

“I know. Please entertain them for me. I will be there shortly.”

Yáo Jī accepted the command and turned to leave. As someone who had learned a certain secret, she was now a little fearful. If the Divine Venerable knew, would she be sent to the Celestial Palace to pound medicine with Yín Què?

Fú Níng wriggled out from under the blanket and blinked her big eyes, as if asking Jiāng Yān why she was hidden.

Jiāng Yān didn’t know the answer. It was just a moment of overwhelming shame that she had been used by a snake…

I really should beat this wretched woman to death!

Jiāng Yān put on her clothes, performed a cleansing spell, and walked toward the reception hall with a refreshed look. The little black snake followed closely behind her, crawling quickly.

The visitors were Yóu Lái and Wū Què, old acquaintances.

Seeing her arrive, the two bowed respectfully. Yóu Lái’s eyes darkened slightly when he saw the small snake coiled at Jiāng Yān’s feet.

Once Jiāng Yān was seated, Wū Què said, “Chán Yuè Divine Venerable, the Queen Mother has sent me to retrieve the Demonic Crystal Stone.”

Jiāng Yān had no objection to this. Even if Fú Níng was no longer interested in the stone, it didn’t mean other evil entities wouldn’t be. If they knew the Demonic Crystal Stone was with her, she would inevitably be bothered repeatedly.

She reached out and conjured the crystal stone, handing it to Wū Què. “Go back and tell your Divine Venerable that once I have made all the arrangements here, I will personally visit Mount Kūnlún to thank her.”

Wū Què took the Demonic Crystal Stone with both hands and nodded respectfully.

Yóu Lái was not as polite. He pointed directly at Fú Níng, who was lying at Jiāng Yān’s feet. “I must take this thing back to Pénglái.”

Although Jiāng Yān hadn’t forgiven Fú Níng yet, hearing Yóu Lái say this still displeased her. She turned her head to look at him, her eyes flashing with a cold light.

“You are Ān Jūn Míng’s disciple, aren’t you?”

This sentence reminded Yóu Lái that the person before him was a Divine Venerable who stood on equal footing with his Master. A humble god like himself could not possibly provoke her.

Therefore, he immediately changed his wording, and his attitude became respectful. He bowed and said, “Chán Yuè Divine Venerable, my Venerable Master instructed me to bring Fú Níng back. He will assist in eliminating Fú Níng’s malice.”

Jiāng Yān did not answer him. Instead, she bent down and reached out to Fú Níng. “Little one, come here.”

Fú Níng crawled onto her hand and rubbed her head against her thumb.

Jiāng Yān’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. She said to Yóu Lái, “Go back and tell your Divine Venerable that this little one will be under my care from now on, and he need not worry.”

The crystal stone had been given to Wū Què, and Fú Níng was no longer a threat. Rather than letting others tame her, she preferred to do it herself.

Thinking about it carefully, this process seemed quite interesting.

Fú Níng saw the flash of brilliance in her eyes and felt a little worried about her future.

Yóu Lái was still hesitant, but Wū Què answered for him. “In that case, we thank Chán Yuè Divine Venerable. This humble god shall take his leave.”

He dragged the unwilling Yóu Lái out, afraid that if they left too slowly, Jiāng Yān would become angry.

“What was that supposed to mean?!” Yóu Lái shook off his hand, furious.

Wū Què carefully put the Demonic Crystal Stone away and said calmly, “I didn’t want you to court death, so I had to pull you out. Do you even know who Chán Yuè is? Do you dare to fight her for a person?”

Yóu Lái considered this. No, he wouldn’t dare. Who could defeat those desperate lunatics under her command?

After the two left, Jiāng Yān placed Fú Níng on the ground and said coldly, “Go find a place to play. Don’t appear in front of me.”

Fú Níng looked pitiful, raising the front half of her body to look at Jiāng Yān, blinking her big eyes twice.

Jiāng Yān closed her eyes and instructed Yáo Jī, “Take her out and let her play with the little fox!”

The formerly domineering and aloof Fú Níng no longer existed. This silly snake that constantly acted cute—she didn’t want to acknowledge her.

The Demon Venerable’s character profile has collapsed!

Fú Níng was extremely reluctant, clinging to Jiāng Yān’s leg. When Yáo Jī approached, she flicked her tongue out at her, looking very menacing.

Yáo Jī looked at Jiāng Yān helplessly, indicating she was powerless. The little fox was much softer and easier to pet. The Divine Venerable’s preferences were too unique; she couldn’t appreciate them.

Jiāng Yān picked up the black snake and said to her, “Such a beautiful Immortal Maiden wants to take you to play. Are you really so unwilling?”

Fú Níng looked wronged and replied, “I don’t want her to take me to play. I want to be with you.”

Jiāng Yān’s lips curved subtly, but her tone remained deliberately cold. “But I don’t want to be with you. I have many beautiful Divine Monarchs and Immortals on this mountain. I must go see them, or they might be sad.”

Fú Níng’s expression froze, and her eyes dimmed.
