Techniques and Dao

Chapter 99 Prologue (Fragment)
One year ago, the Bedland.

The netherworld descends to earth, and the blooming flowers fall into the sea.

The rain hasn't stopped.

Young Master Lan took a few steps back, feeling his primordial spirit injured by the iron rod of the boy who had just fallen into the sea. Under normal circumstances, how could an iron rod harm a celestial body! But clearly, the boy had cast some kind of spell on the iron rod.

This is definitely not magic. It's very likely sorcery.

How could I have misjudged such a prodigy?
Judging from the boy's age, if he is a demon, then his father must also be a demon. But the Heavenly Court has long since pacified the four directions, and there should be no more demons in the world.

If it weren't for the transformation of a spirit into a demon...

Young Master Lan closed his eyes for a couple of seconds, regaining his composure. If the young man might be a prodigy, then the little girl in black before him was definitely not. But why had he calculated that the little girl, exuding an ethereal aura, would be a harbinger of disaster?
Young Master Lan recalled that he hadn't used his real name in the mortal realm for a long time, so why did the little girl reveal the secret of heaven the first time she saw him?

She calls herself: Lan Caihe!

This name had been used in both Saint Pingning and the Heavenly Court, but he had never mentioned it in the mortal realm, so no one should know it. When Lan Caihe opened his eyes again, the little girl was right in front of him, her eyes fixed on him with a cunning look.

That look sent chills down even the immortals' spines, like a hunter looking at a wounded reindeer.

Not only when facing Lan Caihe, but the oppressive aura emanating from that little girl seemed to make even the gods vulnerable in front of her.

Lan Caihe gasped in surprise, finding himself gripped by fear. His position towards the little girl had shifted instantly; he felt utterly helpless in her presence. He hadn't realized it at all just moments before; in that short time, the little girl seemed to have transformed into a formidable enemy.

No matter who she is, whether she is human or demon, she must never be allowed to harm the world!
Lan Caihe reacted immediately, casting a lightning spell at the little girl. But the little girl actually raised her palm and caught the current in Lan Caihe's hand with one hand. The spell became a ball of electric light, hovering in the air between the two of them.

The little girl showed no fear, her expression as relaxed as if she were looking at an ant on the ground. She turned her neck and said, "Lan Caihe! Don't underestimate me, Mingyou!"

The child, who called himself Mingyou, had barely finished speaking when he pushed the circular current back. Young Master Lan was propelled into the air outside the cruise ship by the powerful force, then a point of light shot from the little girl's hand: "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Immortal-Locking Stone!"

Lan Gongzi, whose primordial spirit was damaged, was caught off guard by Ming You's attack. Before he could break free, he began to shrink smaller and smaller. Before he could react, his immortal body shrank and he was trapped inside the Immortal-Locking Stone. Everything went black, and he lost consciousness. Immediately afterward, the Immortal-Locking Stone fell into the sea and was instantly swept away by the waves, disappearing without a trace of light.

"I never imagined the Immortal-Locking Stones would be so powerful. It's a pity I only brought two. I'll save the last one to deal with the troublesome Dao Spirit Star Lord!"

Xiao Mingyou touched her hair, which had been burned to a deep silver color, and murmured to herself.

"It's a pity that Lan Caihe burned all my hair, leaving only a sliver of black. And that Sui Xing Sha is really something, with such a low spacetime transmission bandwidth, it's practically a half-finished product. It took so long to completely transmit my primordial spirit, and Lan Caihe almost ruined the Sha, nearly causing my soul to scatter. Oh well, even without the Immortal-Locking Stone, it's more than enough to deal with those Stone Age immortal scum in Sheng Pingning!"

It rained heavily.

The rain couldn't extinguish the raging fire on the Bedland. The ship's lower decks were already leaking, and explosions echoed all around; it was only a matter of moments before the ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

"That young man was really something. How could there be such a fool in the world, risking his life to save a stranger? I hate this kind of irrationality the most..."

The little girl stared blankly at the flowers falling into the sea. She was soaked to the bone, and rainwater slid down her long, deep silver hair like a curtain of water. Unconsciously, a tear rolled down her cheek.

The darkness accentuated the solitary, frail figure.

She raised her left hand and waved it above her head. A flash of silver light appeared, and the little girl transformed into a graceful young woman.

"I am burdened with heavy responsibilities and cannot repay your kindness, but if fate brings us together, I only hope it will be a bright and sunny day before the rain comes." The girl leaned on the railing and slowly turned around. The waves were rolling, and most of the giant ship had already slowly sunk into the sea.

"One should get wet a few times in this world. If one always avoids the rain, how miserable the rain must be. The name Mingyou is easy to arouse suspicion. How about when we go to Shengpingning, my daughter will be called Weiyu!"

Wei Yu rested her chin on her hand, gazing intently at the surface of the East China Sea.

"If we meet again, and you still have the courage to confess your feelings, then I will stay with you and change this story together."
