Chapter 243 Demon-Slaying Cave: Two Dragons Playing in the Water

"That's perfect, absolutely perfect!" The Fireball Guard and the Octopus were so excited they almost rushed over to hug Murong Junlan.

Murong Junlan reacted swiftly, pulling Yan'er in front of him to block her view. Ha, this warm embrace is reserved for his beloved concubine; you can forget about getting any benefit from it.

"Get out of the way." Murong Junlan coldly glanced at the two animals, who shivered and then knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Tell me, how do you plan to break this?" Murong Junlan had no patience left.

"To detoxify and heal his wounds, the Pavilion Master closed all the entrances, and even blasted the fireball guards out..."

"Get to the point." Murong Junlan interrupted the Fireball Guard's incessant chatter. The Fireball Guard swallowed back the long speech he had prepared, but he still spoke as quickly as possible, "Your Highness, if the Pavilion Master cannot cure the poison himself and cannot survive this ordeal, then his actions will be like trapping himself in a cocoon, waiting to die inside."

"Waiting to die? Is it that serious?" Yan'er sensed something was wrong and reached out to tug at Murong Junlan's sleeve. "Your Highness, please help the Pavilion Master. After all, he gave us the real Crimson Spirit Spring Water. Although the jar was broken and Lingyi didn't get to drink it, we should still thank him for his sincerity."

"He's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—he's up to no good, and now he's getting his comeuppance," Murong Junlan teased.

"Your Highness, when did you become so petty? If you keep this up, I'm not talking to you anymore." With that, Yan'er suddenly pulled out a thin rope from her body and jumped to the edge of the ice lotus pond. "Fireball Guard, Octopus, I'm coming."

Upon hearing that Princess Yan'er was willing to help, the octopus and fireball guards were so excited that they jumped up from the ground and followed behind, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces. The fireball guard thought to himself, "It seems that the woman the Pavilion Master has cared about for thousands of years is worth it."

"You're coming?" Murong Junlan looked at his beloved concubine, who had just been weak and clinging to him, now looking ready for a big fight. A strange pang of bitterness suddenly welled up in his heart. He stood there, not intending to move. He himself couldn't figure out how to break through the Xuanmo Cave and Lihentian Pavilion. He wanted to see just how capable this so-called 21st-century history genius's beloved concubine really was.

Yan'er looked up and surveyed the dilapidated ice lotus pond. With a flick of her little hand, she knocked away a large pile of withered leaves with a crackling sound. Then, she spun 360 degrees on the withered leaves in the water, making them spin rapidly like the wind. This time, not only did the withered leaves spin, but the ice and snow, along with the water, were also swirling up. The swirling vortex grew longer and thicker with each turn, and Yan'er's eyes lit up as she watched the tornado that was so large it would take two people to hug it, carrying with it the withered ice lotus leaves. Yan'er shouted excitedly.

The fireball guard and the octopus also started shouting, but as they shouted, the two animals became confused. The tornado was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more withered leaves of the snow lotus were being swept up. But could it break through the Xuanmo Cave if it kept going like this? Could it save the Pavilion Master?

The two animals' shouts grew softer and softer until only Yan'er remained, dancing alone.

What's going on here? Murong Junlan went from being completely bewildered to feeling relieved. Ah, so you weren't in a hurry to save your beloved Pavilion Master, huh? That's good then.

Dance, dance to your heart's content! I am happy to watch you dance, especially if it is for me alone.

Just as the fireball guards and the octopus were completely baffled, a thin rope suddenly shot out from behind and began chasing after the tornado in Princess Yan'er's hand. Instantly, another tornado carrying the withered leaves of the ice lotus also caught up. The two tornadoes intertwined, creating a beautiful sight.

The octopus and fireball guards blinked, then blinked again, and then looked at each other, simultaneously uttering, "Is this to save the Pavilion Master?"
