Chapter 425: The Poet Among Demons
"You all have come from afar to show respect to Dragon Palace and Ao Yi. Let me offer a toast to you all."

Ao Yi stood up, holding up the glass cup, and said with a chuckle.

All the monsters present stood up one after another, and now they were all polite and courteous, apparently wanting to leave a good impression on Ao Yi.

After taking a sip, Ao Yi nodded to the snake woman with a human body and a snake tail behind him. The snake woman immediately retreated and came back after a while, followed by two figures.

Two figures, one old and one young, came into view of the demons. The lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and they quickly stood up and saluted again: "We pay our respects to Prime Minister Gui..."

The old man walking in front had a handsome face and big hands. He was none other than Prime Minister Longgong Gui.

Ever since the old Dragon King went into seclusion to comprehend the great Dao, all trivial matters in the Dragon Palace have been handled by Prime Minister Gui. He holds great power, and it is no wonder that the monsters respect him so much.

Chen Mu saluted with everyone, but he was a little surprised.

He had just heard Ling Xin's introduction and knew that Prime Minister Gui was a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. But when they met this time, he showed no oppressive power at all, as if the old man in front of him was just an ordinary old man...

"Such control power shows that one's cultivation is extraordinary."

He pondered for a moment, then looked at the young man who was half a body length away from Prime Minister Gui.

He has a dragon face with sun horns and a square chin with earthy corners. His cultivation is almost the same as Chen Mu's. They have both just broken through the golden elixir realm and succeeded in their transformation.

Although he is called a young man, he actually looks relatively young compared to the monsters.

If you think about it, this young man may have practiced Taoism for two or three hundred years.

"Who is this?"

Chen Mu frowned slightly, feeling that this person was very noble and his identity should be extraordinary as well.

As expected, after the demons saluted Prime Minister Gui, they all looked at the young man and nodded, "Prince..."

"He is the second prince's eldest son, Ao Liekong." Lingxin introduced via voice transmission.

Chen Mu nodded, feeling very emotional in his heart.

The dragon clan is truly a clan blessed by nature, and there seems to be no bottleneck in their cultivation advancement.

Nowadays, even the younger generations of the old Dragon King's grandchildren have begun to form elixirs...

"No need to be so polite." Prime Minister Gui nodded and chuckled. He looked very approachable and had none of the airs of a late Nascent Soul cultivator.

Ao Yi took two steps forward and invited Prime Minister Gui to take a seat.

"Aunt, my father went to the Middle-earth two days ago and couldn't get away, so he specially sent my nephew to watch the ceremony." Ao Liekong bowed.

Ao Yi's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, please take a seat."

If you can't come yourself, you have to send your son. To put it nicely, it's to watch the ceremony, to put it bluntly, it's to monitor.

After all, everyone has heard about the open and secret struggles among the children of the Dragon Palace.

It is said that the Second Prince, who is at the peak of his career, now has the eldest princess as his only major concern. He would be uneasy unless he saw her get married and find a husband with his own eyes.

After all, once he's chosen, he's set his sights. Whether it's good or bad, he can respond. It's better than keeping it in suspense...

The monsters knew what was going on, but they didn't say anything and just sat down.

Everyone is here, the banquet is about to begin.

Beautiful human maids and ugly fish demon servants carried trays and walked around the platform, bringing a constant stream of delicacies and fine wine.

The delicious food did not move the monsters' hearts, but the delicate and tender human maids made them salivate with desire.

If I hadn't been here, my true nature would have been exposed and I would have pounced on him long ago.

After three rounds of drinking, the monsters were already impatient to find out the purpose of their trip, but since Prime Minister Gui at the head of the group did not say a word, they could only remain silent.

After a while, under the expectant gazes of the monsters, Prime Minister Gui finally spoke, smiled and said to the monsters: "Today is a good day. It is the day when my eldest daughter of the Dragon Palace gets married and chooses a husband..." As he spoke, he looked at Ao Yi beside him, and the monsters all looked over in the same direction.

Ao Yi smiled slightly, his expression still cool and beautiful.

"I have to say, the eldest princess is stunningly beautiful. Putting aside her status, she alone is enough to be my Taoist companion!"

"You are so blind that you don't even look at your own moral character. How can you be worthy of the eldest princess?"

"Who, which bastard said something bad about me? Come out and confront me if you have the guts..."

For a while, the monsters kept shouting, but Prime Minister Gui did not stop them. Instead, he looked at the chaos below with great interest.

It wasn't until a hot-tempered rhino demon slammed the table and was about to fight the sea snake demon beside him that he coughed lightly to stop the situation and continued:

"I haven't finished yet, what are you waiting for?"

The monsters nodded in agreement.

"Princess Yi grew up in the mortal world, and although this old servant knows very little about her, I do know that she values ​​affection and courtesy the most.

Therefore, today's test does not focus on cultivation or family background, it all depends on the princess's choice...

Gentlemen, please behave well, and I hope the princess can find a good match and become a good husband."

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of monsters immediately split into two extremes. Those with high cultivation levels frowned, very puzzled, while those with slightly lower cultivation levels fell into ecstasy and looked in the direction of Ao Yi, thinking that it was because of them that the princess changed the rules.

Ao Ling was also puzzled by this and asked, "Uncle Gui, how could this be..."

She knew her eldest sister's personality, that she was aloof and aloof, otherwise she would not have waited until now to get married and choose a husband.

If Ao Yi had his way, there was no guarantee who would be chosen.

And she really hoped that Ao Yi could choose a strong husband, who was not only compatible in cultivation, but also had a family background that could help her.

Prime Minister Gui smiled kindly: "This is what the Dragon King wants..."

Ao Ling felt a chill in his heart. What his father meant, didn't this mean...

"Alas, the Dragon King must have chosen the second prince as his successor." Lingxin sighed in a telepathic voice.

Chen Mu's heart trembled, and he didn't say anything easily.

"It's supposed to be this way. A Taoist partner must be together for life, and it really needs to be what he wants." Ao Liekong nodded and chuckled, seeming to agree.

"Princess, please tell me what kind of person you like..."

"Princess, although my realm is low, I also love the human race's Taoism and am proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Princess, would you like to test me?"

"Princess, don't listen to his nonsense. I am truly talented and learned. A hundred years ago, when I traveled to the East China Sea Islands, I was even hailed as the Immortal Poet! Let me recite a poem..."

As soon as the words fell, the place suddenly became quiet, and all the monsters looked towards the monster that spoke, wanting to see the demeanor of the immortal poet.

The Immortal Poet was a giant leopard demon with very short hair and five-colored spots on his face. When he saw the demons focusing their attention on him, his expression suddenly changed and he stammered, unable to utter a word.

"Come on, Immortal Poet, don't you want to recite a poem?"

"Yes, could it be that you are deceiving the princess?"

"Princess, this monster has bad behavior. We suggest that he be expelled from the island..."

The demons exchanged a few words, and the leopard's face flushed red with anger. He stretched his neck and shouted angrily, "Who said I deceived the princess? I was just writing a poem on the spot. Think about it for a moment!"

"Okay, okay, then come on!"

"Come on!" The leopard snorted angrily, glanced around, and could only bite the bullet and recite in a loud voice:
"The fairy from the Dragon Palace is beautiful and white, and the leopard has come thousands of miles to woo me. Princess, just give me a nod, and I will not give up tonight!"
