Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 144 - Where Are You Taking Tie Lang!?

Zi Yu curtly shook her fan to cast off the blood that stayed behind. She looked at the youth that was now missing an arm and the woman that was missing an eye.

“There’s your eye and arm!” Zi Yu coldly announced.

****

She then looked at Feng Yu, saying. “While it was admirable to take your junior apprentice-brother’s place. Never accept punishment for something you don’t deserve! Especially in the place of fools. What are you cultivating for if not for dignity!?”

Feng Yu whispered these few words to herself, and her heart shook in response.

“Aaaahh!! You BITCH!!” the woman shrieked.

“The pot’s calling itself black, I see,” Zi Yu fired back.

“You’ll pay for this!” the youth shouted in rage. He was losing a copious amount of blood for each second that passed. Even worse, he was unable to stem the flow. Zi Yu’s somatic essence was far stronger than his, and it made recovery nearly impossible with his own power.

The youth was extremely enraged. He was not a big character in Nether Immolation War Temple. So the capital and accruement needed for something like limb replacement was not something he could get his hands on that easily.

“Hmph! You’ve just wounded the eighth concubine of Savage Taitan!” the youth said.

Upon hearing this name, Zi Yu’s eyes widened in shock! “Savage Taitan of the Boundless Plains!?”

“Hmph! It’s too late for regrets!” the woman chimed in.

Zi Yu stared at her even while she was able to stem the bleeding. It was obvious that her cultivation base was higher than the youth’s.

“No wonder you dare to act so arrogant. It’s not only because you’re from the Nether Immolation War Temple, but it’s also because you’re also a plaything to that brute!” Zi Yu spat.

“My beloved will rip you to pieces!” she shrieked.

Zi Yu was shocked for a moment before her calm returned. “Let him come. We’ll be waiting for him,” she said with a smile.

The woman was taken aback by her courage and apparent fearlessness.

What did she have to be afraid of? Long Di was a freak of the cultivation world who was able to match anyone.

Plus, she was travelling with Yaomu Shou. One was someone who no one from the younger generation should logically be able to match and the other was someone who no one from the Demon Region could defy.

Again. what did she have to be afraid of?

…

Yaomu Shou, who was in the distance, gave a sly smirk when she saw this. It was obvious at a glance that Zi Yu was acting with the knowledge of Long Di and herself being able to rectify the issue for her.

“Sneaky little bastard,” Yaomu Shou said to herself with a smile.

“What happens if I kill one of them right now?”

A lazy voice sounded behind her that caused her to jump in shock.

“G-Geez! Don’t sneak up on me like that!” Yaomu Shou quipped when she realised it was Long Di. “And what do you mean killing one of them? What are you planning?”

…

“You’re not afraid of Nether Immolation War Temple?” the woman asked, a bit confused.

“I’m not afraid of your Savage Taitan,” Zi Yu corrected.

“M-Milady, I-I need to get treatment. May we return to the sect?” the youth asked. The longer he took to return to the sect, the more resources he would need to restore his limb.

He didn’t dare return without her, as that would mean possibly facing Savage Taitan on his own. He wasn’t sure he could survive that experience.

However, she didn’t pay him heed and continued conversing with Zi Yu. Though she was angered, she wanted to know the enemy’s trump cards before anything else.

Zi Yu herself couldn’t be anyone too famous since she didn’t recognise her. However, no matter what she did, she couldn’t figure out Zi Yu’s identity.

“I hope you can remain as arrogant as you are now when Savage Taitan finds you,” the woman stated.

“Oh, we will. Run along now,” Zi Yu waved her off.

“You…!”

“What you?” Zi Yu asked. “If you keep delaying, your attendant will be lopsided for the rest of his life. It doesn’t look like he can win against the density of my somatic essence,” Zi Yu pointed out.

When she looked over and saw that the youth was still bleeding out due to his inability to close the wound, her ire rose.

“Urgh!” stomping her foot in frustration, she took off in a hurry, compelling the youth to follow after her.

Before long, Zi Yu could hear several steps behind her and looked back to see Yaomu Shou, Shen Ling, and Xiannu Liang approaching.

“How’s Tie Lang?” Yaomu Shou asked before anything else.

They all went over and the sight was a bit sickening to look at. Tie Lang’s hands were extremely mutilated.

Of all his fingers, only the pinky was left, and even that was only hanging on by a piece of skin.

Yaomu Shou’s expression turned unsightly when she saw the extremity of his injuries.

“Where’s Long Di?” Zi Yu asked when she saw Shen Ling and Xiannu Liang, but not the dead-faced boy.

“He went to deal with something,” Yaomu Shou replied, answering Zi Yu’s question.

Focusing on Tie Lang, she asked. “Does he have any special physique?” she fished out a dull red medicinal pill from her storage ring as she came closer.

“What’s that?” Shen Ling asked when she espied the pill.

“It’s just a medium-grade bone-forming blood-siring pill,” she said offhandedly.

“Oh.”

When Zi Yu heard the name of the pill, however, she nearly tripped over herself in shock.

“Your h-”

“Hold your tongue!” Yaomu Shou halted her from saying anything more.

She then looked towards Feng Yu. “Does he have any special grade physique? I don’t think any of you travelling with Long Di is normal, if I’m being honest.”

She was right to think this. Long Di was a freak, Shen Ling was an Abyss Ghost (maybe) and the others’ cultivation speeds were illogical.

She saw how easily Feng Yu was able to not just forge her second supreme-grade cauldron, but also start on her third cauldron.

Tie Lang and Jia Yan’s cultivation speed was astonishing as well. They were both able to bring their second duan into existence and were progressing extremely fast. She didn’t want them to face any injuries that would cut off or hinder their cultivation path in any way.

“Well, Long Di said that Tie Lang is a Yu, erhm, a Y-Yu… what was it again, junior apprentice-sister Shen Ling?” Feng Yu asked Shen Ling, not quite remembering the name.

“H-He’s an… uhm…” Shen Ling mumbled into silence, not wanting to say anything more.

Yaomu Shou knew what was happening here. The elders from before were going to kill Shen Ling before anything else when they heard of her race.

Obviously, she didn’t want to say anything about Tie Lang that would put the latter in danger, as it did her.

Yaomu Shou took her hand in hers. “I won’t allow him to come in contact with any danger. Trust me. I’ll protect him as I did you. But I need to know as much as possible if I am to help him.”

When Shen Ling saw the look of genuine concern in Yaomu Shou’s eyes, she decided to speak up.

“Senior brother Long Di said he’s a Yu Lang demon.”

Yaomu Shou’s eyes widened in shock. “What!?”

Boom!

“Little miss, allow me to take him from here!”

One of the elders watching over Yaomu Shou descended with a crash in a kneeling position with a look of extreme shock and surprise.

“Yes, take him! Don’t worry about anything else!” Yaomu Shou ordered in a rush!

“Wait, where are you taking apprentice-brother Tie Lang!?” shouted Jia Yan as the old man took Tie Lang before he could react.

“Hush child!” the old man disappeared with Tie Lang before anyone else could react.
