This Is Awkward

Qiong Xiao was completely stunned. She was actually looked down upon by a fish.

Among the San Xiao, Qiong Xiao had the most volatile temper, so how could she tolerate this insult?

Immediately, she flashed her figure and pounced directly towards the koi in the pond.

The few koi in the pond, seeing the crazed Qiong Xiao pouncing towards them, immediately showed disdain in their eyes.

One of the koi was seen leaping out of the water, and at the same time, its beautiful fish tail also slapped towards Qiong Xiao.

The fish tail was seen forming a huge phantom in the air, sweeping directly onto Qiong Xiao's body without deviation.

With just this one blow, Qiong Xiao was directly slapped into the pond, instantly becoming a drowned chicken.

However, that koi seemed to have no intention of letting it go and spat a bubble at Qiong Xiao.

This bubble directly trapped Qiong Xiao within it. No matter how Qiong Xiao struggled, she couldn't break free, which made Qiong Xiao even more furious.

She immediately took out the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors she carried with her.

Without a word, she directly sacrificed it towards the bubble that was trapping her.

These Golden Flood Dragon Scissors were refined by Master Tongtian using a secret method from two flood dragons at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Although they were not Innate Spiritual Treasures, their attack power was not inferior to Innate Spiritual Treasures in the slightest.

Immediately, the huge bubble was shattered, and the force did not slow down at all, directly cutting towards that koi.

If it were really cut by these Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, even if that koi was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it would probably be instantly cut into two sections.

That koi also felt the killing intent emanating from the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors. Frightened, it leaped and hid under the white lotus.

The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors didn't care where the koi was hiding and directly cut down towards the white lotus.

At the same time, Qiong Xiao kept urging her magic power, determined to kill that koi right there.

However, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors stopped in mid-air and couldn't cut down no matter what.

The white lotus where the koi was hiding also emitted bursts of white light.

A huge lotus platform phantom directly shook the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors back to the top of Qiong Xiao's head.

This couldn't help but greatly surprise Qiong Xiao, "It's actually the Nine Rank Purified World White Lotus, how is this possible?"

Qiong Xiao naturally knew that when Pangu created the heavens, he shattered the Chaos Green Lotus that nurtured him.

The fragments of the Chaos Green Lotus scattered throughout the Primordial World transformed into countless Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Primordial World.

Among them, four lotus seeds fell into the Primordial World and transformed into the four great Innate Spiritual Treasure lotus platforms.

They were the Twelve Rank World-Destroying Black Lotus, the Twelve Rank Merit Golden Lotus, the Twelve Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus, and the Twelve Rank Purified World White Lotus.

The Twelve Rank World-Destroying Black Lotus disappeared in the Primordial World along with Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

The Twelve Rank Merit Golden Lotus and the Twelve Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus belonged to Guide Daoist and Nether River Old Ancestor respectively.

The Twelve Rank White Lotus even transformed into the Three Pure Ones' Dao-proving sacred artifacts and completely disappeared in the Primordial World.

And the lotus platforms cultivated later could only reach a maximum of six ranks, most of them being three-rank lotus platforms.

How could a Nine Rank Lotus Platform appear, and one that wasn't even truly mature?

This meant that this Nine Rank Lotus Platform was very likely to evolve from a post-natal state into an innate one, becoming a Twelve Rank Lotus Platform.

At this moment, Qiong Xiao completely forgot her animosity towards the koi. She stood dumbfounded on the surface of the water.

Just then, Hong Ze returned to the backyard and happened to see Qiong Xiao standing on the water.

The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors were also suspended above Qiong Xiao's head, while the Nine Rank Purified World White Lotus had disappeared.

So Hong Ze didn't know what had truly happened. Instead, he thought Qiong Xiao had gone to great lengths to catch the koi.

He immediately smiled and said, "Junior Sister Qiong Xiao, you don't need to use the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors just because you can't catch the koi, do you?"

Seeing Hong Ze return, Qiong Xiao naturally couldn't continue making a fuss. She immediately retracted the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.

At the same time, her figure flickered, and she directly arrived beside Hong Ze.

This time, Hong Ze saw clearly. Qiong Xiao was completely drenched from head to toe.

Because her clothes were wet from the water, they naturally clung to Qiong Xiao's body.

This fully revealed Qiong Xiao's shapely figure to Hong Ze without any concealment.

This couldn't help but make Hong Ze instantly feel the urge for a nosebleed. He tried his best to calm his restless emotions.

At the same time, Qiong Xiao also realized her revealing state. She quickly circulated her magic power to dry her clothes all over.

Even so, Qiong Xiao's face was flushed, and she didn't dare to meet Hong Ze's gaze.

If it weren't for Hong Ze being her respected Eldest Senior Brother, Qiong Xiao might have even had the thought of killing him to silence him.

Qiong Xiao's clothes returned to normal, finally calming Hong Ze's restless heart.

To alleviate the awkwardness, Hong Ze immediately spoke to Qiong Xiao.

"Since Junior Sister truly likes koi, let Senior Brother pick a few for you."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the pond, preparing to personally catch two koi for Qiong Xiao to take back to Three Immortal Island.

However, at this moment, Qiong Xiao no longer dared to want those few koi. After all, she already knew that the other party's cultivation was higher than hers.

At the same time, a storm surged in Qiong Xiao's heart. She thought to herself, Just how terrifying is my Eldest Senior Brother?

A few koi he casually raises are Great Luo Golden Immortals, so what must his cultivation be? Could it be that he has truly attained the Dao and become a Saint?

While Qiong Xiao was in a daze, Hong Ze had already started to deal with the koi in the pond.

Even though those few koi dared to challenge Qiong Xiao, they were obedient in front of Hong Ze.

Even though they were extremely unwilling in their hearts, they remained motionless and were scooped out of the pond by Hong Ze.

Seeing that Hong Ze was really preparing to give her the koi, Qiong Xiao quickly shook her head and said.

"Eldest Senior Brother, all things have spirits. Since they are unwilling to leave here, Junior Sister naturally cannot force them."

Hearing Qiong Xiao say this, the koi in Hong Ze's hand couldn't stop jumping.

This couldn't help but make Hong Ze sigh, "It seems they really don't want to leave."

"However, Junior Sister, you don't need to feel regret. Your Senior Brother will give you this koi in a different way."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards his Thatched Cottage, simultaneously tossing the koi in his hand into the pond.

Just as Hong Ze left, the koi spoke to Qiong Xiao.

"It's good you know your place. However, consider this a favor we owe you today. We will repay you in the future."

With a flick of its tail, it swam directly into the depths of the pond, seemingly afraid that Qiong Xiao might change her mind again.

Just as Qiong Xiao was looking helpless, Hong Ze returned with brushes, ink, paper, and an inkstone.

He then spoke to the pond, "All of you, come out. Today, I want to paint a picture of fish playing among lotus flowers."

The koi instantly returned to the surface of the water and began playing around the white lotus.

Hong Ze nodded in satisfaction, spread out the Xuan paper, and prepared to paint the picture of fish playing among lotus flowers.

Seeing Hong Ze's smooth and flowing movements, Qiong Xiao was momentarily captivated.

In the end, she slowly merged into the world of the painting, following Hong Ze's brushstrokes.
