Shui Qingyue struggled desperately, but her cultivation was useless. She fell from a great height in disarray.
Shangguan Hanyu rushed forward, anxious to help her up, but the phantom petals on Shui Qingyue's body caused him intense pain, making it impossible to touch her. He frantically called out, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister! Are you alright?"
Su Luo smiled at the Lotus Glazed Lamp in her hand, finally obtaining it.
She walked to the struggling Shui Qingyue, holding up the glazed lamp, and said with a half-smile, "Shui Qingyue, without this divine artifact, can you still be arrogant?"
"Bitch, how dare you plot against this Saintess!"
Shui Qingyue's delicate face turned ashen with anger, and she glared at Su Luo, saying, "Su Luo, even if this Saintess loses, do you dare to kill me? Do you dare to touch me? Do you dare to oppose the entire Tai Chu Holy Land? Hurry and return the Lotus Glazed Lamp, or our Holy Land will sooner or later flatten your Qing Xu Heaven!"
"Oh, you're quite good at scaring people."
Su Luo said faintly, "Do you believe I'll throw you into the Giant Array? When they revive, I'll let you taste what that's like? Oh, right, I'll throw those few infant elders in with you too. What do you think?"
Shui Qingyue trembled as she stared at her, "You wouldn't dare!"
But her face was pale, and her body was cold. She knew Su Luo wasn't joking; she was capable of doing it.
"No! Su Luo, at worst, I'll apologize on behalf of Senior Sister. Let us go."
Shangguan Hanyu suppressed the hatred in his heart, gritted his teeth, and said, "Qing Xu Heaven is a righteous sect. Do you really want to be so ruthless, provoking conflict with the Tai Chu Holy Land and becoming a laughingstock for the Demonic Sect? There are so many people here. Aren't you afraid it will get out? Are you going to kill them all as well?"
Seeing the fear on others' faces as they wanted to escape, Li Tianjue said faintly, "Don't worry, we won't kill you. But how to leave here is up to yourselves."
Shangguan Hanyu and Shui Qingyue both paused.
This was bad. All the elders had turned into infants, as well as those child disciples. How could they leave the Giant King's Court with these burdens? But if they didn't take them, they would only die here. After all, they were from the Tai Chu Holy Land.
The two were conflicted and frustrated. Su Luo ignored them and walked to the Spring of Life, gently caressing a handful of its water.
The water poured through her fingers, shimmering with seven-colored rainbows.
Shangxie Shaoqing also walked over, smiling as he fanned himself, saying, "Not bad. The Spring of Life is finally ours. Miss Su, it was fortunate you snatched Shui Qingyue's Lotus Glazed Lamp just now, otherwise, we would still be suppressed by her. In terms of merit, your contribution is the greatest."
"No need to be so polite! I even gained a divine artifact for free."
Su Luo smiled. Next time she saw Jiang Muxue, she could ask him what he needed the Lotus Glazed Lamp for. For now, she'd put it away and then said to Shangxie Shaoqing, "Didn't you want the Spring of Life? Hurry and collect it!"
Just as Shangxie Shaoqing was about to act, suddenly...
"Quack quack! Quack quack!"
That gem frog appeared again. It had somehow dodged the impact of the battle and leisurely emerged from the bottom of the pool.
"Gem frog, it's here!"
Shangxie Shaoqing was overjoyed and excitedly lunged at the gem frog, but it kicked its legs and darted away.
"Little thing, don't run!"
Shangxie Shaoqing shouted, "Du Wei, surround it! Don't let it escape."
Du Wei quickly ran over, but the pool was too large for them to surround it.
The Dragon Hound and the Chi Dragon also joined in, as if hunting prey. The two humans and two divine beasts attacked from front and back. Shangxie Shaoqing swiftly plunged a claw into the water, finally catching the gem frog.
"Little thing, you sure are fast," Shangxie Shaoqing said, looking at the gem frog in his hand with a delighted grin.
"Quack, *you're* the little thing!" the gem frog said, opening its mouth.
"You can talk?" Shangxie Shaoqing's eyes widened.
"Country bumpkin, ignorant," the gem frog rolled its eyes.
Du Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master, we've caught a treasure! A talking frog that can also spit out gems. Truly a divine object of heaven and earth."
Su Luo and Li Tianjue also leaned in, curiously observing it.
Shangxie Shaoqing held the gem frog like a treasure and said ingratiatingly, "Little darling, follow me from now on. I'll give you the best food and drink, pamper you, and give you whatever you want."
Gem frog: "Pah, smelly man."
Shangxie Shaoqing was furious but reluctant to use force, "You..."
The gem frog kicked its legs and hopped onto Su Luo's hand, croaking at her, "Beauty, hello! I am the Gem Frog Prince of the Giant King's Court. With just one kiss from you, I can give you many gems."
Su Luo laughed heartily. this frog was too improper.
"How about my Senior Brother give you a kiss?" She brought the gem frog to Li Tianjue.
"Smelly man!" The gem frog glanced at Li Tianjue with disdain. "This Prince only likes beautiful women and hates smelly men the most."
Li Tianjue was amused and exasperated. He was actually being looked down upon by a frog.
Shangxie Shaoqing said dejectedly, "Miss Su, it truly likes you. I won't compete with you for it."
Su Luo also found it amusing. She smiled and stroked the gem frog's smooth back, saying, "Kissing you is impossible, but you can follow me. I'll take you home and let you live in a large pond with lotus flowers, okay?"
"Okay, Beauty!" The gem frog blinked its eyes.
"Then, from now on, you are mine. Shall I call you Little Prince?"
"Yes, yes! I like that!"
The gem frog praised her greatly, spitting out a few sparkling gems for Su Luo, making her laugh heartily and incessantly praise her as the most beautiful woman she had ever seen... Li Tianjue and Shangxie Shaoqing watched with amazement, while Shui Qingyue and Shangguan Hanyu's faces twisted with anger.
Their hard work had been in vain. They gained nothing, and instead, several elders and so many disciples had become useless.
How infuriating!
Li Tianjue, of course, wouldn't argue with a frog. He chuckled, "You're quite capable, Su Luo. Even a divine creature like the Gem Frog willingly followed you."
"Perhaps it's because I'm beautiful and kind..."
Su Luo blinked her eyes, quite pleased.
Shangxie Shaoqing praised her, "Indeed, Miss Su is not only beautiful and kind but also intelligent and..."
As he spoke, he suddenly stiffened, his expression changing: "The Spring of Life, Hahaha! It really is the Spring of Life! Old man, I've finally found it! Little Su, you are truly my lucky star!"
Su Luo looked at his change in surprise and then realized, "You... you are the Great Emperor?"
Had he changed again?
"Yes, yes. Old man just had a nap, and as soon as I woke up, I sensed the aura of the Spring of Life."
Emperor Haotian put away his fan, patted Su Luo's shoulder, and smiled dotingly, "Girl, I know what happened just now. You've worked hard. You endured so many dangers to obtain the Spring of Life water. How do you think I should thank you?"
"You're too kind! But Great Emperor, you really are something. You didn't show up during such a dangerous moment, and you said you would protect us, but you were nowhere to be seen." Su Luo wrinkled her nose and looked at him reproachfully.
"This... alas, it's all my fault. I intended to take a short nap to recuperate, but who knew I'd oversleep..." Emperor Haotian scratched his head in embarrassment. "Shall I apologize to you? Little Su, don't be angry."
