"Ah!?"
Su Xiaoyue was also embarrassed.
"How about this, I'll have Daoist Duan Liang take a look for you. If you genuinely want to remove the Dragon Pearl, I'll have him think of a way."
Lin Feng understood clearly that Su Xiaoyue was without support, and the Dragon Pearl within her could easily bring disaster upon her.
Perhaps being an ordinary person would truly be a good thing for Su Xiaoyue.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Lin to ask for me."
Su Xiaoyue had made up her mind.
Thus, upon returning to the residence, Lin Feng found Duan Liang and told him about Su Xiaoyue's desire to have the Dragon Pearl removed.
"This is excellent! If this Daoist gets the Dragon Pearl, I can keep it for upgrading!"
"But I don't know how to get this thing out. I only know that if you throw someone into a丹炉 (dān lú - alchemy furnace) to refine them, the Dragon Pearl gets refined along with them."
"How to extract it alone?"
Duan Liang was also troubled, as he had never encountered such a situation before.
"However, Ying Tianqing would surely have a way. If not, let's have Ying Tianqing help remove it."
This was the most reliable method Duan Liang could think of.
"That would be fine, but we don't know where Ying Tianqing is."
"Why don't you think of a way to summon him?"
Lin Feng passed this major task to Duan Liang.
"Simple. Aren't you the one who invents methods? What don't you know?"
Duan Liang smiled, suddenly clasped his hands around his throat, and began to stage a suicide scene.
Watching this, Su Xiaoyue beside him looked at Duan Liang as if he were an idiot. She frowned, not understanding what Duan Liang was playing at.
Lin Feng was also speechless. So Duan Liang's method was also to threaten death.
But wouldn't he be beaten if he used this method to summon Ying Tianqing?
At this very moment, a black shadow flashed, and Duan Liang was sent flying by a powerful force, crashing down with his bones almost falling apart.
"Ouch! Brother Qing, couldn't you have been gentler when you struck? My old bones can't take your kick!"
Duan Liang, in pain, crawled up from the ground, grinning and rubbing his excruciatingly sore backside.
"Are you bored to death? I told you not to disturb this venerable one without a major issue! Do you think this is fun?"
Ying Tianqing's face was grim, clearly provoked by Duan Liang's suicidal threat.
"Brother Qing, I'm looking for you for important matters, I'm not messing with you, you misunderstand me!"
Duan Liang explained with a bitter smile.
"Elder Ying, what the Daoist says is true. We really have important matters to find you for this time."
Lin Feng, fearing that Ying Tianqing might get angry and beat Duan Liang badly, had to help clarify.
"What important matters? Speak quickly!"
Ying Tianqing suppressed his anger, allowing himself to calm down.
Lin Feng explained Su Xiaoyue's situation to Ying Tianqing. Upon hearing this, Ying Tianqing finally turned his gaze to Su Xiaoyue.
"This little girl is indeed a reincarnation of the Dragon Girl. It seems you truly intend to help this venerable one find the reincarnation of the Green Bird."
"Since that is the case, this venerable one will help you this once."
Ying Tianqing saw that Lin Feng had met Su Xiaoyue because he was looking for the reincarnation of the Green Bird, and he was very pleased.
With a wave of his hand, Su Xiaoyue's delicate body, as if attracted by some force, immediately floated into the air.
Ying Tianqing's expression was solemn and solemn, and terrifying magical power continuously emanated from his palm.
As Ying Tianqing's magical power was injected, Su Xiaoyue let out a painful cry.
"Aowu!"
A dragon's roar sounded.
Lin Feng and Duan Liang were astonished to discover a phantom image of a small green dragon appearing within Su Xiaoyue's body.
This small green dragon was coiled within Su Xiaoyue's body, its dragon mouth spewing a Dragon Pearl that emitted a green light.
Ying Tianqing grabbed with his large hand, and the Dragon Pearl, as if attracted by some force, shot out of Su Xiaoyue's body with a swish.
Along with the Dragon Pearl, the small green dragon coiled within Su Xiaoyue's body also flew out.
The green dragon soared into the sky, let out a mournful cry, and then disappeared into the horizon.
As the Dragon Pearl and the small green dragon detached from her body, Su Xiaoyue finally fell to the ground from mid-air, completely weakened as if she had been dehydrated.
"The Dragon Pearl has been removed, but this Dragon Pearl's power has not yet fully formed. This venerable one will keep it for you and hand it over when it matures."
Ying Tianqing said, then opened his mouth and swallowed the Dragon Pearl.
"Ouch!"
Duan Liang watched enviously as Ying Tianqing swallowed the Dragon Pearl, and a wave of heartache washed over him.
It was as if he had lost a fortune. Duan Liang thumped his chest and stomped his feet in regret.
After all, whether this thing could be returned to them after falling into Ying Tianqing's hands was still unknown.
"Elder Ying, will the removal of the Dragon Pearl affect Sister Xiaoyue? Why does she look so weak?"
Lin Feng supported the weak and listless Su Xiaoyue, his brow furrowed with worry.
"She will be fine. She has only lost a bit of vital energy and will recover with rest."
"As for the small green dragon within her, it has gone to reincarnate after losing the Dragon Pearl."
Ying Tianqing explained.
"So, you mean Su Xiaoyue will be an ordinary person from now on?"
Lin Feng confirmed repeatedly, fearing any slip-ups.
"That's right. This little girl will be no different from a mortal from now on."
Ying Tianqing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the weak Su Xiaoyue. He was very curious why Su Xiaoyue had chosen to be an ordinary person.
After all, everyone in the world wanted to become extraordinary, yet this little girl went against the trend.
"Brother Lin, that's great! I can finally be a normal person."
"Ever since I was young, whenever I was sad and cried, everyone treated me like a monster."
"No matter how much I was wronged, I dared not shed tears carelessly."
"Now, I am finally free. I can cry when I want to cry, and laugh when I want to laugh."
Su Xiaoyue revealed a happy smile.
"Mm, congratulations. If you encounter any trouble in the future, come find me."
Lin Feng admired Su Xiaoyue very much, sincerely treating her as his little sister.
Just as Su Xiaoyue was immersed in the joy of her rebirth, angry roars suddenly echoed from not far away.
"Ahhh! Bastards! Who stole this Immortal Master's fortune? This Immortal Master will skin you alive!"
A roar rang out, and an elderly figure, accompanied by a young figure, suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
It was Chen Fan and his master.
"Master, it's them! They bullied me, and they snatched Su Xiaoyue from my father."
Chen Fan pointed angrily at Lin Feng and the others.
"You brat, you bullied my disciple and stole the wordless heavenly book of my Ghost Valley lineage."
"Now, you've even bullied this Immortal Master. Do you know how long this Immortal Master has waited for the Dragon Pearl within this little girl?"
The old Taoist in white robes, his face flushed red, trembled violently with anger.
"Speak! Was it one of your little brats who took out the Dragon Pearl? This Immortal Master will cripple him!"
The old Taoist in white robes scanned Lin Feng, Ying Tianqing, and Duan Liang. He had seen the small green dragon soar into the sky from a distance.
Clearly, someone had forcibly removed the Dragon Pearl from Su Xiaoyue's body.
But the Dragon Pearl had not yet matured. Removing it at this time was undoubtedly a waste of nature's bounty!
The old Taoist in white robes grew more enraged as he thought about it. As his fists clenched, his aura as a cultivator in the God Transformation stage was revealed.
The terrifying aura transformed into blood-red killing intent, splitting the bluestones beneath him into countless fine cracks.
The killing intent continued to spread, and everywhere it passed, everything seemed to be cut into pieces as if by a thousand knives, leaving countless scars.
Lin Feng and Duan Liang felt the terror of the old Taoist in white robes and, in unison, pointed at Ying Tianqing.
"Good! It was this little brat who took it out, right?"
The old Taoist in white robes glared at Ying Tianqing and questioned him fiercely.
