Chapter 76: Tian Ji Empire

“We need to find a way to keep Wang Hao alive.” Tang Ya declared this when she and Fang Yu started their discussion about Wang Hao.

“From what I can see, the situation regarding Wang Hao and those three deaths was really fishy. I mean, an Outer Disciple managed to encounter three Princes at the Forest of Death? There is something going on behind the scenes.” Tang Ya clenched her fist as she said, “We are going to investigate this situation and finish the mission!”

“So how do you plan on doing this?” Fang Yu knew that Tang Ya was really enthusiastic on saving Wang Hao. She just held back her retort as she followed her flow.

Tang Ya then replied, “As we can see, there is something special in the Forest of Death. As for that, we are going to make Fang Lin go there to investigate. You, Fang Yu, will go with me to the Solstice Kingdom.”

“Hmm… with me able to transpose and fuse with Fang Lin, we can easily switch when the situation requires us.”

“Exactly. With the investigation in the Forest of Death, we can find evidence on what really happened. As for the Solstice Kingdom, once we capture Wang Hao, we can plead for his life using all the evidences we will gather.”

“That’s settled then.” Fang Yu then stood up as she headed towards then bathing room. She paused as she looked towards Tang Ya with a teasing look on her face.

“It seems like we are both sweaty. Why don’t we take a bath together?”

“A bath? Hmmm… seems ok I guess. But you must cut off your sensory connection with Fang Lin!”

“Roger!” Fang Yu then cut off Fang Lin’s connection with her. Fang Lin could only curse as his plan foiled again.

“Drats!”

Fang Yu and Tang Ya then entered their bathing room. As expected from the reserve disciple of the sect head, her bathroom was luxurious. The pristine, white floor created a pure and clean feeling. There is a large bathtub in the middle, with the water flowing merrily inside it.

Fang Yu breathed in the fresh scent that the bathroom exudes.

“This is so relaxing!” She thought to herself. She then removed her robes and underwear as she hung it on the clothes hanger. She looked beside her and saw Tang Ya removing her clothes too.

Upon seeing Fang Yu staring at her, Tang Ya retorted, “What are you looking at? Don’t you need to take a bath now?”

“Ah ok, ok.” Fang Yu then dipped herself in the water of the bathtub. She let out a satisfied moan as the pre-heated water reinvigorated her body. While she was enjoying this blissful sensation, she felt some stirring in the water.

When Fang Yu opened her eyes, she saw Tang Ya also submerged in the bath tub. Her breasts which had been straining her robes earlier, were now floating at the water surface.

Even Fang Yu could not help but stare at the marvelous sight in front of her.

“Being a girl really has some benefits in these situations!”

Tang Ya saw Fag Yu’s reaction. She let out an irritated huff as she turned around, with her back facing towards Fang Yu.

“So you are just the same as Fang Lin huh, you are both perverts…”

“………..”

“Did you do it with Sect Head Xiao Ya?’

Upon hearing this sudden question, Fang Yu panicked. She was flustered as she stutteringly said,

“Wha…..wha..what do you mean Tang Ya! She is my master, so I won’t do something like that!”

“Are you sure?” Tang Ya inquired. Even with Tang Ya facing the other way, Fang Yu could feel Tang Ya’s eyes staring deep into her soul.

“From what I see, you and Sect Head Xiao Ya looked like you can’t wait to ‘eat’ up each other. I have seen it. Those hunger and desire present in your eyes. You clearly like each other. Everyone already knew about it. That was actually the reason why no haughty suitors disturbed you anymore.”

“…….. We haven’t, but we have been always making out.”

“Tell me more!” It seems like even though it is a woman to woman relationship, as long as it was the matters of love, Tang Ya will still be excited. “Do you feel good when you were kissing her?”

Fang Yu was about to reply when she heard a voice that she did not expect to be here.

“Sis! Sis! Sis!”

“No! nonononono!” Fang Yu swiveled around and she saw Tang Li rushing towards her. The door of the bathing room had been unlocked.

Tang Li seemed really happy as she plopped down the bathtub. She let out squeals of delight as she floated on the water.

“Tang Li! What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be with your mother at the Immortal God Sect?”

“Muuu… I want to go back, but Baldy shtop me!”

“Your father?”

“Un! Baldy shaid I shtay with you! He shaid he shaw me pway with you Sis!”

“Those damned prophecies again…..” Tang Ya facepalmed after hearing Tang Li’s explanation. “Does that mean that your father wants us to babysit you the whole time?”

“Yesh! I want to be with Sis!” Tang Li hugged Fang Yu as she played with her snow bunnies. She clearly liked their bouncy texture.

“Boing boing, boing boing!”

It was at that moment that Fang Yu and Tang Ya heard a divine sense message from LI Daozi.

“Due to some circumstances, I have to entrust the welfare of my child to you. Do not worry, she can go undetectable if needed. What I just want is for you to let her join you on your adventures. Take care of her ok?”

“That damned baldy!”

“Sis, bweastmilk!”

“Arghh!!!!!”

…………

2 hours later.

A disgruntled Tang Yan and Fang Yu were at the balcony of their room. Tang Li had placed herself on top of Fang Yu’s head, claiming its her ‘spot’. She laid there lazily, while inhaling the scent of Fang Yu’s hair. Fang Yu sighed, knowing that Tang LI will possibly stay on the top of her head most of the time.

While observing the land below them, they managed to see a huge, sprawling civilization. It was the Tian Ji Empire. With the height of the spirit ship, Fang Yu was able to observe some parts of the Tian Ji Empire. She paired it with a map on her hands, giving her an overview of the Tian Ji Empire.

The whole Empire have been shaped in a perfect circle, with its edges being cordoned off by walls. Near the edges, patches of forests and small villages appearing as dots were seen. As the lands approach the center of the circle, they started to fill up with more and more buildings.

Upon closer inspection, Fang Yu noticed that the whole Empire seems to be divided on to 8 equally sized sections, like a pizza sliced in 8. These 8 areas have some distinguishing characteristics that distinguish them from one another. They have no borders with each other, they just seem to have their edges mixed up.

Fang Yu knew from her investigation that each of these areas were being controlled by each of the 8 Families.

“This empire is really huge…….” Tang Ya’s awed voice could be heard amidst the roaring winds. Her hair waved behind her as the winds blow them back. “As expected of one of the 3 Empires. You cannot underestimate them.”

The spirit ship then started descending towards the center of the Tian Ji Empire. When the ship was close enough, Fang Yu could not help but say,

“What the hell?!”

At the center of the Tian Ji Empire was a bustling city. This must be the capital city. At the center of the city was a large palace. The splendor of the palace clearly shows that it was where the current emperor resides.

But that was not the reason why Fang Yu cursed.

Just behind the palace, a spear could be seen stuck on the ground. It was impaled to the ground, with a slight tilt on its angle. Its sharp tip pointed upwards, as if it wanted to pierce the sky. The spear itself was black in color, with no additional designs. The only thing abnormal about this spear was its size.

The spear was around 10 kilometers long!

It was so long that the shadow it casted upon the ground managed to cover many houses and palaces. The pressure emitted by the spear can be clearly felt by Fang Yu and Tang Ya, even though they were not close to it.

“This is the Tian Ji Divine Spear? Why don’t you just call it ‘The Big, Black Rod aimed towards the sky’!”

“Manners, Fang Yu! Tang Li can hear you!”

When she heard Fang Yu’s comment, Tang Li tilted her head as she quipped,

“Baldy shaid to Mom when they pway, ‘You love my big black ****?’.”

“No!”
