Lord of the Earth

After the banquet, inside the palace of Eastern Wu.

In Sun Ce's heavily guarded bedroom, the mother and two children of the Sun family were sitting around the unconscious Sun Jian and talking.

"Mother, I thought you were more inclined towards the Qianxia Dynasty. Why did you choose to agree to the so-called 'marriage contest'?"

There was some doubt on Sun Ce's face.

To be honest, the eldest brother is like a father. Although his parents are still alive, he naturally hopes to choose a more suitable partner for his sister when it comes to her marriage.

At least, he had heard that the ruler of the Qianxia Dynasty was extremely powerful and was less than 25 years old. You know, when the 20-year-old Sun Shangxiang was betrothed to Liu Bei, the latter was nearly 50 years old...

In comparison, the ruler of the Qianxia Dynasty is undoubtedly a better choice!

"Especially as Zijing mentioned before, the ruler of the Qianxia Dynasty has not yet married... If Xiang'er can really marry him, she will most likely become the 'queen' in the future... This will be of great benefit to our Dongwu Dynasty." Sun Quan said with a gleam in his eyes.

It is obvious that the two brothers have different priorities when thinking about the problem. Sun Ce first considers whether his sister is "willing", while Sun Quan is more concerned about whether he can find a suitable "husband" for her!
However, there is nothing wrong with this.

After all, Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei's marriage was originally just a political marriage.

Even if she was twenty years old and matched with fifty years old, Sun Shangxiang herself found it hard to accept.

Therefore, she chose to "abandon her historical" identity like Zhao Yun and descended as a brand new "virtual body".

And what about those saints?

Granted, the “Man in Chains” and the “Young Man with Hawkeyes” may not look old.

Even at the prime of life.

But you have to know that it is not easy to achieve the holy realm.

Especially before the opening of the Land of Eternity, it takes ten or a hundred times longer to become a saint. Their real age may be even older than Liu Bei was!
Although the situation forces us to do so, we may have to carry out this "marriage search".

But if possible, Sun Ce was still unwilling to let a "brother-in-law" who was older than his father into the house.

On the contrary, the ruler of the Qianxia Dynasty, as a Chinese of later generations and the ruler of the new Yun Dynasty, would definitely not be too old!

After all, his "brother" and "sister" are not very old, one is less than ten years old, and the other is obviously less than 30 years old. Such a young and promising leader of the Yun Dynasty is undoubtedly the best candidate!
"This... I'm worried that Xiang'er won't be able to adapt to life in the palace. You all know that she doesn't like being constrained, and she may not be willing to be a bird in a cage..."

Madam Sun was speechless for a moment and explained reluctantly.

"Yes, my sister's personality is indeed like this... Besides, the ruler of Qiyun is a genius of the human race, and the strength of the Qianxia Dynasty far exceeds ours. This marriage may not be successful..."

Sun Quan nodded when he heard this, and then said with a twinkling look in his eyes.

"In fact, in my opinion... Xiang'er may not need to go to the palace of the Qianxia Dynasty! I see, that General Xia is the elder brother of the ruler of the Qianxia Dynasty, he has a noble status, and is also a 'king'! If Xiang'er can marry him as his principal wife, it should be good..."

If Sun Shangxiang married the emperor of the Qianxia Dynasty, it would naturally be beneficial to the entire Eastern Wu Dynasty.

But it didn't mean much to Sun Quan personally.

On the contrary, he had invited this envoy from the Qianxia Dynasty at the suggestion of Lu Su. If the two sides could form a good relationship, he would be able to be a great help to him!

"By the way, why hasn't Xiang'er come back yet? Where has she gone?"

……

"Sister Yao Chi, have a try! This lion pineapple cake is made with rare deep-sea pineapples as the main ingredient, paired with the meat of forest spirit beasts, and blended with hundreds of secret spices. It is made through a unique eighteen-step baking process..."

In Stone City, in the "Jinling Pavilion" where the envoy stayed.

"Golden Thread Rice Cake is made with glutinous rice from the best spiritual fields, combined with silk from spiritual fruits tempered by the ten thousand year ice of the Nine Netherworld. After careful steaming, the softness of the glutinous rice and the sweetness of the spiritual fruits are mutually infiltrated... And this Emerald White Jade Soup is made with..."

Sun Shangxiang, dressed in military uniform, was holding a variety of delicacies in her hands and introducing them to Xiaoyaochi one by one.

The two "princesses" were of equal status. The temperament emanating from Sun Shangxiang made Xiao Yao Chi feel that she had a similar intelligence and agility as Huang Rong, and their relationship quickly became closer!
At this moment, the night is dark.

Sun Shangxiang, a princess of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, came to the "residence" of the Qianxia Dynasty delegation in the name of being a guest and was reluctant to leave.

In the context of the Three Kingdoms era, perhaps only a naturally arrogant princess and female hero like Sun Shangxiang could have done such a bold move.

"Miss Sun, if you have anything to say, you can say it."

Although the scene of beautiful women of all ages talking and laughing is indeed pleasing to the eye.

But seeing that Xiao Yao Chi had almost finished eating, Xia Tian took the initiative to speak up and "rescue" her.

"I heard from Mr. Zijing that in the Qianxia Dynasty, there were women who served as lords, ministers, and even generals. Is this true?"

After a slight hesitation, Sun Shangxiang cast a pair of deep and inquiring eyes on Xia Tian.

"That is certainly true."

Xia Tian heard this, nodded slightly, and continued:

"In my Qianxia Dynasty, there is a territory called Lingquan, and its lord is a girl who is only ten years old. And the girl Xue Baochai who assists her on a daily basis is also just a young lady of a noble family in her twenties, but now she is the leader of a palace in my Qianxia Dynasty! And there is also General Qin Liangyu, who is not only the military leader of my Qianxia Dynasty, but also the only female general in the five thousand years of Chinese history who was 'ennobled' and recorded in history books..."

"Not only that, the extremely important Lord of Langhuanyu Mansion in our Qianxia Dynasty is also a woman. There is also Sister Pan who manages weaving, Miss Huang and Miss Liu who manage the affairs of the royal palace... In our Qianxia Dynasty, the capable ones take the positions. As a certain genius in later generations said, women can also hold up half the sky."

"During the Qianxia Dynasty, this was particularly evident and recognized by everyone."

Xia Tian's words shocked Sun Shangxiang.

The Qianxia Dynasty actually gave women such a high status and power?
Not only can women serve as “teachers” in academies, they can even become “generals”?
"What? A woman can also be made a marquis?"

Especially after hearing about Qin Liangyu's deeds, Sun Shangxiang's heart surged even more, and her chest heaved slightly with excitement.

Unlike those women who like to stay in the boudoir, learn to take care of their husbands and children, and cook, Sun Shangxiang "did not like red clothes but loved military affairs" since she was a child. What she longed for in her heart was to gallop on the battlefield and kill enemies and make meritorious deeds.

However, although the three members of the Sun family loved her very much, they all believed that women should not wield swords and guns all day long, let alone go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Therefore, even though she possessed the cultivation level of the fourth realm of transcendence and even had a golden quality companion magical bow, she never had the opportunity to lead troops into battle.

Now, in the Qianxia Dynasty in an unknown place, there are territories led entirely by women, and even women holding high positions and commanding generals... This undoubtedly makes her yearn for it, and she longs to be like them one day and show her talents as a woman. "If I can go to the Qianxia Dynasty... maybe I can also ride a horse and whip it like my big brother, and make achievements on the battlefield?"

"Even, like General Qin Liangyu, she was granted the title of nobility as a woman!"

Sun Shangxiang thought so in her heart, her emerald green eyes flashing brightly.

As for who she was going to marry, she actually didn't give it much thought. In fact, in a sense, she even felt that the lower the other party's status, the better. At least as the wife of a general in the Qiyun Dynasty, she would have the opportunity to follow the general into battle.

But the Queen may hardly have such an opportunity!
"Gongji Camp, everyone prepare for battle... We will also participate in this battle this time!"

After returning to her palace, which was called the "camp", Sun Shangxiang immediately summoned all the female soldiers under her command and said in a firm tone.

After all, among the three saints, one is dead and two are seriously injured. This is a heavy blow to any force.

More importantly, the human race has demonstrated such powerful strength that the opponent, Lilong, will be alert unless he is a fool!

In addition to the arrogant temperament shown by the black dragon before, it will definitely come for "revenge". The Eastern Wu Dynasty will also take this opportunity to prepare for an all-out war and will eliminate this unprecedented enemy at all costs!

……

"What, failed!"

"A mere human actually defeated the three of you and even killed that centipede... Are you making fun of me?"

At the same time, deep in the river, in a huge dragon palace located under the water, the dragon eyes of the "Li Dragon" sitting on the throne emanated a sharp murderous aura!
As a result, the water surface began to turn upside down, and a huge wave arose out of nowhere!

This Lilong, who was evaluated as a genius, was completely furious at this moment!

After all, saints are not cabbages. Even if he used some special means, the number of saintly creatures he was able to recruit under his command was only less than ten!

Now one of them has been killed, and the remaining two are in a disabled state, and their combat effectiveness is estimated to be less than half.

After spending a huge amount of money but failing to obtain the "True Dragon Battle Body" that he wanted most, causing his power to not be as strong as expected, this piece of news is undoubtedly adding insult to injury and is unforgivable!

"Idiot, you can't even kill a group of weak humans... Then what's the point of keeping you two?"

Then, he looked at the two seriously injured alien saints whose bodies were riddled with holes and even cracks, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his pair of red dragon eyes!
"King, please calm your wrath for a moment! These saints are still useful."

Fortunately, at this time, the Chilong whose body was like crystal spoke, with a somewhat urgent tone!

"Humph, you're also deserting the battlefield! I haven't punished you yet, but you've stepped forward... Are you planning to die in their place?"

Lilong looked at it with his eyes, and the terrifying aura of oppression was like an overflowing ocean, making people terrified.

"I am incompetent, but I have a reason for retreating... Because I sensed the aura of a real dragon on that human... This person is likely carrying a treasure related to my dragon clan!"

Chilong was crawling on the ground, speaking with some difficulty.

"What, a real dragon?"

After hearing Lilong Tianjiao's words, the rage burning in his pupils suddenly faded a lot.

"Yes, it is a real dragon. I can sense a very strong real dragon aura from him, and even a faint aura of the Ancestral Dragon... This person is likely carrying a treasure related to my dragon clan!"

There was some excitement in the voice of the Chilong Saint.

"A treasure related to a true dragon or even an ancestral dragon?

Even if he became a genius and obtained the qualification of "Commander in Chief of Arms", in the eyes of those real dragons, he was still regarded as a "lower dragon"!

Because of this, he was very eager to completely transform himself into a real dragon.

Now that he knows that the other party possesses treasures related to real dragons, or even related to the ancestor dragon, he can't wait to seize that thing.

Of course, it is possible to become a genius without being a "true dragon".

The Li Dragon definitely does not rely solely on its fighting power. Its intelligence is also far superior to those dragon-blooded creatures that have powerful bodies but are extremely stupid. You know, a true dragon has a very strong ability to oppress ordinary dragons!
As a genius, his bloodline is already very pure, so the impact would not be too great. However, even the few dragon saints under his command.

Once facing a real dragon, the power that can be exerted will be less than 50%!

In this case, if the human race wants to deal with the human race that controls the "True Dragon Treasure", they may have to rely on their power!
"Although you were defeated, you did your best. If I punish you again, it may not make your subordinates feel discouraged... How about letting you make up for your crime with meritorious service?"

"This is the 'True Dragon Spiritual Fluid'. It is made from thirty-six extremely precious holy medicines, combined with the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk spit out by the top dragon veins... It can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh. It can not only restore your strength, but also allow your strength to evolve to a stronger level..."

Then he waved his hand, accompanied by a dragon roar.

Behind him, a huge sculpture resembling a real dragon suddenly appeared. The ambergris spewed from its mouth fell to the ground and formed a "pool" that was milky white and exuded amazing spiritual power.

Just by standing beside it and being contaminated by a few drops of "water" splashed from the pool, the broken bodies of the two saints showed signs of healing!

"I am willing to go through fire and water for the king, no matter what!"

The two alien saints had expressions of surprise, knowing that this thing was enough to allow them to go one step further on their original basis, or even allow them to be reborn and possess certain characteristics of dragon-blooded creatures.

You know, the dragon clan is very powerful.

Of course, there is one more thing that Lilong did not say, which is that the power of a "true dragon" is not something that ordinary races can get their hands on.

This "True Dragon Spirit Liquid" certainly restored the bodies of the two alien saints, but its overbearing power would also cause them to lose their subsequent potential!
However, for the saints of an unknown small race, reaching the sixth level of transcendence is already a rare opportunity, and reaching the seventh level of transcendence or even becoming a god is simply a long way off!

Now, I am lucky to be able to recover my strength. Why should I consider the issue of potential?

The most important thing is, in Lilong’s plan, once he obtains the treasure related to the “Ancestral Dragon”!

For creatures like these that don't have dragon blood, there's no need for them to stay any longer.

The two alien saints are no fools as they have come this far. They may know in their hearts that they may be "killed when the rabbit dies" in the end!
However, there is no other choice now, because if he really doesn't want to obey the orders of this Tianjiao-level Li Dragon.

It is very likely that you will lose your soul at this moment.

After all, not every creature can shout out "I'd rather die than live without freedom" and have the courage to put it into practice. We can only grit our teeth and accept the "good intentions" of this black dragon! (End of this chapter)
