Xiang Xueer had a sudden inspiration and quickly took out the Serpent Whip from her tool pouch at her waist. With a shout, she called out a single-character incantation: "Bind!"
In an instant, the Serpent Whip shot forward like a dragon in water, heading straight for the Water Sprite. The entire whip plunged into the water, wrapping tightly around the Water Sprite's body, binding it so firmly that even if it were the overlord of the waters, it could not move.
"Ah, my mastery of this incantation has truly reached new heights!" Xiang Xueer raised an eyebrow and whistled to herself, feeling quite pleased. All that was left was to reel it in. She leaped into the air, landing on the fin of the Water Sprite, and shouted angrily, "Demon, surrender obediently! I will spare your life!"
On the boat, Li Yunyang pouted as he watched Xiang Xueer nearly subdue the Water Sprite. He realized there was no chance for him to make an appearance now, so he sulked and muttered, "Tch, Dead Girl, using my lines—so unoriginal!"
Meanwhile, Sima Yi, who had been observing from the side after rescuing several Housekeepers, looked at Xiang Xueer and smiled, "Great! Miss Xueer is indeed an impressive demon slayer; it seems our townsfolk are saved!"
While the two were chatting leisurely, Xiang Xueer was having a tough time. The Water Sprite beneath her was no pushover; although it couldn't dive underwater or resist, it certainly wasn't going to surrender easily. It began to race across the water's surface with her on its back.
"Wow!" Xiang Xueer screamed as the Water Sprite moved like a small speedboat across the surface of the water. It was impossible to maintain her balance on its smooth fin.
The Water Sprite sped further away and was almost escaping Xiang Xueer's control. Just as she felt she might fall off its sleek back, she grabbed onto its large fin and squeezed her legs together to stabilize herself.
"Hmph! You think you can compete with me? You're still too young!" One hand gripping the fin while the other stretched out for balance, Xiang Xueer resembled a dolphin performing tricks at a marine park. She was a trainer of sea creatures and was putting on an impromptu show.
Once she steadied herself and got used to balancing on the swaying fish's back, she soon managed to spread her arms wide while holding onto the fin with her feet, riding freely as it galloped across the water.
Li Yunyang watched in shock, rubbing his eyes in disbelief as he saw one person and one fish racing across the surface. Shaking his head in amazement, he sighed, "This girl is really something! While everyone else is riding horses, she's riding a fish!"
Sima Yi stood by in astonishment, repeatedly exclaiming, "So amazing! So amazing..."
"Little one, I'm going to walk you like I walk my dog and see how long you can last. I'll tire you out!" Xiang Xueer continued to stand there, her arms outstretched as she performed various graceful movements, resembling an Olympic water ballet, showcasing her stunning poses.
"What is Miss Shirley doing?" The rescued housekeepers all craned their necks to watch Xiang Xueer's 'water ballet', completely puzzled. Li Yunyang, however, explained with great satisfaction: "Can't you tell? She's exhausting that Water Sprite. It won't be long before that Demon can't hold on any longer and will have to surrender!"
"Oh!" Everyone nodded in agreement with his explanation. Sure enough, after a short while, the Water Sprite appeared to be tired, its speed noticeably decreasing. Seizing the opportunity, Xiang Xueer leaped onto the bow of the boat and extended her fingers, chanting, "Release!"
In an instant, the Serpent Whip gradually loosened around it. Xiang Xueer reached out, and one end of the whip returned to her hand. With a forceful tug, she quickly dragged the Water Sprite out of the water.
With a loud 'bang', the Water Sprite crashed heavily onto the deck of the boat. The impact was so great that it shook the entire vessel off balance, giving the Demon a chance to thrash wildly in an attempt to escape from the deck.
"Ah!" The housekeepers who had just been rescued lost their footing and fell back into the river one by one. Xiang Xueer struggled to stabilize herself but the boat rocked too violently. With one strong jolt, everyone was thrown upside down into the water with several splashes.
"Damn Demon," Xiang Xueer thought as she flailed in the water. After calming herself slightly, she steadied herself against one side of the capsized boat with one hand while gripping her Crossbow with the other, squinting her eagle-like eyes to search for the whereabouts of the Water Sprite.
"Damn it, where is it?" In the chaos around her, Xiang Xueer couldn't locate the Demon at all. She quickly grabbed Li Yunyang nearby and asked, "Hurry up and use your dog nose to sniff out where that monster went!"
Li Yunyang spat out a mouthful of murky river water and wrinkled his nose as he searched for the Water Sprite's location. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and shouted at Xiang Xueer: "Not good! It's... it's right below us!"
"What?" Xiang Xueer was taken aback; nothing was more dangerous for an assassin than being bitten back by their prey. Before she could react, a claw covered in scales grabbed her feet and swiftly pulled her down into the water.
"Gurgle!" Caught off guard, Xiang Xueer choked on some water. She reached up to cover her nose and looked down at the Water Sprite beneath her. Its bulging fish eyes were filled with hatred as it glared at her and bared its black fangs: "I'm going to kill you!"
Li Yunyang watched helplessly as Xiang Xueer disappeared before his eyes. He dove into the water and searched frantically. The dim visibility and murky water made it impossible for him to see where she was. Anxiously, he called out repeatedly: "Dead Girl! Dead Girl! Where are you?"
In the midst of the chaos, Sima Yi was continuously calling for help in the water. Most of the Housekeepers couldn't swim, and the river was in a state of disarray, while Xiang Xueer had disappeared from the surface.
Descending, descending, continuing to descend, Xiang Xueer felt her body being pulled rapidly downwards, watching as the depths of the water drew further away. She struggled to twist her body a few times, but the intense lack of oxygen began to cloud her mind.
She shook her head vigorously, and the scenery before her gradually became clearer. Squinting, she saw a green fish tail thrashing about, with three arrows she had shot earlier stuck in its fin.
Xiang Xueer kicked her legs forcefully, but she couldn't break free. Suddenly, an idea struck her; she bent down and pulled one of the arrows from its fin, aiming it at its claws and thrusting it with all her might. Instantly, purple blood gushed out along its scales, and one of Xiang Xueer's legs was freed.
"This damn Demon won't let go!" Xiang Xueer cursed angrily in her heart. She reached out and pulled another arrow from its fin, stabbing it into its other hand. Finally, both hands released their grip. She stepped on the Water Sprite's head and pushed off with force, quickly swimming towards the surface.
At this moment, the surface was also chaotic. Li Yunyang was anxiously pacing on the water's surface, having not seen Xiang Xueer for a long time. Taking a deep breath, he dove into the water with a splash.
Just as Xiang Xueer was about to break through the surface, she vaguely saw Li Yunyang swimming towards her from across the way, gesturing about something. She noticed that he raised his Azure Dragon Sword and swung it towards her, causing her eyes to nearly pop out of the water in fright.
Little did she know that the power of Azure Dragon Slash transformed into strong waves underwater and did not come at her directly; instead, it swirled past her side and aimed at something behind Xiang Xueer.
