Chapter 628: Little Biao’s Search

“Little Biao, we have something to ask you,” Shen Ying announced.

“Yes, Exalted Goddess. No problem, Exalted Goddess!” Little Biao immediately sat upright and nodded vigorously.

Lonemoon pursed his lips, then said, “Earlier, did you instruct Rabbit to go and fetch an immortal called Zuo Shuming back to your heavenly palace?”

“Zuo Shuming? Rabbit? Little Biao looked genuinely confused. Who?

“An Earth Immortal that just ascended,” Lonemoon explained.

“Just ascended…” Little Biao stared blankly at him for a moment, before realization dawned on him. “Oh, you mean the person whom Yu Xue went to look for? So his surname is Zuo – he’s not a demon?”

“What, you don’t know him?” Lonemoon’s gaze turned suspicious.

“I don’t.” Biao Ting shook his head. “This is the first time I’m hearing of this name.”

“Then you and him…” Little Biao did not know this Earth Immortal – why did he ask him to go to his heavenly palace then? Earth Immortals would otherwise have no right to enter a Celestial Emperor’s palace.

“It’s a long story,” Biao Ting said as he glanced at Shen Ying. Obediently, he began to explain. “Exalted Goddess, I wonder if you remember when Little Birdie and I met you for the first time?”

“I don’t!” Shen Ying responded immediately.

“Er…” She obviously did not think much of the two beasts. How his heart hurt!

Little Biao’s smile wavered, but he continued to keep it plastered on his face as he said, “Exalted Goddess, at that time, Little Birdie and I got into a disagreement over a dharmic weapon. We lost our own self-control and fought all the way down to the lower realm. We met with you, Exalted Goddess, immediately after we stepped through the realm gates. But Exalted Goddess instructed us to send Lady Xuan Tong back to your sect. Do you remember that?”

“Oh…” Shen Ying nodded. But she did not look at like she remembered any of it. “What happened next?”

It was obvious that she did not remember a thing, right?

“Then… Then after that battle, when we returned to the immortal realm, I discovered that I had lost something,” LIttle Biao explained, scratching his head.

“What did you lose?” Lonemoon asked.

“A scale on my chest,” Little Biao answered, eyes twinkling. He looked embarrassed to say it. “That scale has been rubbing off my immortal powers for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s considered an invaluable immortal weapon in the lower realm. A few days ago, I somehow sensed that this scale had been stolen by someone, who just arrived at the immortal realm. That was why I sent Yu Xue to go and pick the person up. I wanted my scale back.”

“It’s just a scale – is all that effort worth it?” Lonemoon frowned. The fact that beasts did not need scales aside, there was no loss even if he did drop just one or two scales. Why would he go through all this trouble just to get it back?

“It’s been hundreds of thousands of years. Even if it is a scale that protects your heart, you should have grown it back by now?”

“Well… It has indeed grown back.” Little Biao’s expression changed. He looked around hesitantly and awkwardly. Then, he whined, “But… But it’s not the same!”

“How is it different?” You’re not a dragon – you don’t need so many scales on your body.

“Because… because…” The more he spoke, the more whiny he sounded. Probably because he was too anxious, he gritted his teeth, turned and turned back into his natural form. Immediately, a black and small beast appeared in front of them. Little Biao raised his claw and gestured toward his own chest. “Because this new one has a different color!”

The few of them looked down at Little Biao’s chest and saw that the scale on his chest was indeed of a different color. That scale was in the shape of a heart and was grown in the center of the underside of Little Biao”s body. It was exceptionally eye catching.

The more important thing was it was… pink!

(⊙ o ⊙)

In the middle of a huge patch of black, a pink heart-shaped scale lay. From afar, it looked like someone had drawn a pink heart on Little Biao’s chest. Just like that, a frightening and threatening monster looked like something that came out of a little girl’s imagination.

Pui…

The three of them could not keep themselves from spitting at Little Biao.

“Exalted Goddess…” Little Biao sounded like he was about to burst into tears.

“Little Biao, please wait for a moment!” Lonemoon raised his hand to stop Little Biao from talking any more. The three of them bent over and laughed so hard that their shoulders kept shaking violently. A moment later, the sound of their uncontrollable laughter filled the room.

“Hahaha…” The three of them laughed continuously.

What kind of strange pink heart was growing on a beast like Little Biao! They were going to laugh till their death. Did the immortals of Qing Ze Continent know that their Celestial Emperor looked like this?

“Little Biao: “…”

They should not be hurting him this way! After all, he was one of the Celestial Emperors. They should have showed him more respect!

It was so painful that he wanted to cry…

The three of them laughed for a total of ten minutes straight. It took everything in them to keep from rolling on the floor laughing.

“Little Biao… You are a Celestial Emperor after all. Why don’t you use sorcery to change the color of that heart?”

“I tried, but it does not work!” At most, all he could do was a Disguising Technique. However, after awhile, the heart would turn back into its ordinary color.

“Then you should dye it, at least…”

“I can’t do that. This is a scale that protects my heart – it will not retain the color.”

“Ah~ Hahaha…””

Alright, they could take it no longer. All three of them burst out into laughter.

“…” Little Biao’s heart was hurting so much.

After a few more minutes of laughing, Lonemoon cleared his throat and recompose himself.

“So… So… For this… Er… Because of this color, you wanted to return and get the scale back?”

Little Biao transformed back into human form, nodding furiously. “That’s right!” If not for his Celestial Emperor status, why would he introduce an Earth Immortal into the heavenly palace?

“You don’t know anything at all about this Zuo Shuming?”

“Mm.” Little Biao nodded. “I didn’t know he was an immortal cultivator either. I thought the person who helped me pick up my shell was a demon!

So that was the case. In other words, this Zuo Shuming was fated to pick up the scale that Little Biao dropped a few years ago, then ascend to the immortal realm. What’s more, Little Biao had been searching for the scale at the exact same time. Now that he had located it, he decided that it was right to summon the man to his heavenly palace immediately.

“Then you should know which small world he is from, right?” Lonemoon asked.

“That’s right.” Little Biao nodded. “He’s from the Rainbow Light Realm.”

Lonemoon turned to look at Chef. Yi QIng nodded. They had located where the man was from. Heaving a sigh of relief, Lonemoon explained the entire situation regarding Rabbit’s move and Zuo Shuming’s disappearance. However, he skipped the part about turning back time.

Little Biao was evidently disappointed on hearing that his scale was once again returned to the lower realm.

“Exalted… Exalted Goddess…” He raised his head meekly and stared into Shen Ying’s eyes. “Have you asked if this person wanted to go back down to the lower realm? Can I… Can I…”

“Alright!” Lonemoon immediately knew what Little Biao was trying to say. “If we find your heart-protecting scale, we will return it to you.”

“Alright, Exalted Goddess! Thank you, Exalted Goddess!” Little Biao rejoiced. His shattered heart was now completely repaired!

Lonemoon cut off the connection and kept his jade token. Then, turning to Chef, he said, “We have located the small realm, so we should go down now.” As long as they knew which small realm they had to look in, it would likely not be difficult to locate Zuo Shuming.

Chef nodded. He turned and raised his hand to open the realm gates that led to the Rainbow Light Realm. Lonemoon turned to leave some instructions for Yu Hong. Then, the three of them entered the realm gates.

The next moment, the entire surroundings changed. They found themselves on an empty field. The spirit Qi here was especially rich. This small realm was evidently comparable to the Three Azure Realms they were in, as well as the Sacred Arrival Realm where Fatty was from.

By sensing around, Chef very quickly located Zuo Shuming’s location. Although Shen Ying said that his data had deteriorated by more than half and although the three of them were prepared to deal with the deterioration of his cultivation level, they had not expected that his cultivation would have deteriorated so drastically!
