Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 800 Crazy Dragon
On the golden platform of the Xuan Palace, a few strands of light gauze tassels swayed in the wind, casting shadows that just happened to cover Chen Mu.

The whole hall fell silent for a moment. Ao Yin and others who knew the inside story looked at Chen Mu, and even more at the queen mother who was sitting at the head of the table.

Chen Mu remained unmoved and said, "I am just a cultivator from Beiyuan. I have done nothing for the Dragon Palace, and I have done nothing for you, Senior. How could I possibly deserve your help?"

The Dragon Mother's smile persisted, and she parted her red lips slightly to whisper a response.

But Chen Mu didn't give her a chance, and continued loudly: "I am not a person who doesn't repay kindness. So after learning about the senior's righteous act, I came to express my gratitude as soon as possible. But..."

At this point, he shook his head and sighed, saying to the others, "How could I repay the kindness of my predecessors when I was trapped for sixty years and just escaped?"

"I only hope that I can stay here and practice diligently. If you need anything in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

After saying this, he bowed and knelt down, his courtesy quite sincere.

Seeing this, the people present had different expressions.

Ao Yin's eyes remained still as he quietly raised his cup and took a sip.

Ao Yun and Ao Chun, on the other hand, looked back and forth between Chen Mu and Gui San, wondering, "Could it be that he still doesn't know about my eldest sister?"

As for the Dragon Mother, the smile in her eyes faded and she looked at Chen Mu silently.

She naturally wouldn't think that Chen Mu didn't know the details, but he still said it, and the meaning was different.

To repay a favor, whose favor do you know? To whom do you repay?

On the surface, he accepted her favor and promised to repay her any requests in the future, but in reality, he was supporting Ao Yi...

The Dragon Mother was not surprised by this, but she didn't intend to say it out loud.

He just looked at Chen Mu indifferently, wondering why he was so confident that he wanted to get involved in the Dragon Palace inheritance?
Is it just because of his title of "the most talented immortal in this world"?

She sneered in her heart, not knowing that after millions of years, there were tens of thousands of immortals in this world, but which one could support the cause and effect of the dragon clan for the Dragon Palace?
"I saw that you had returned after overcoming the calamity, so I thought you had some signs of destiny, but now I see that you are just worrying about nothing..."

She was disdainful in her heart, but a smile slowly appeared on her face, and in an instant her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

"Young friend Chen, you are too polite. You are trapped in my East China Sea. How can I stand by and watch you perish? It is just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

She raised her hand lightly: "Hurry up and have a few more drinks with Yin'er and the others later."

Chen Mu stood up calmly, glanced around slowly, and said, "I have one more thing to bother you with, Senior..."

The Dragon Mother sensed something, but happily responded, "Your Highness, please tell me what you want."

Chen Mu bowed and asked knowingly, "Why don't I see the eldest princess?"

The Dragon Mother smiled continuously and waved her hand, saying, "Don't mention it. My eldest daughter is very hardworking and has been practicing in seclusion for decades. Not to mention you, my friend, even I rarely see her..."

Chen Mu pretended to understand and said, "So that's how it is..."

He nodded, then bowed and said, "The Princess helped me a lot in my early years. I regret not being able to meet her now. After she comes out of seclusion, could you please let me know?"

I don’t ask Ao Chun or Gui San for help, I only ask Dragon Mother for help.

The Dragon Mother smiled in an ambiguous manner, neither nodding nor shaking her head, but her hair full of jewels and jade began to sway gently.

"Friend Chen, you seem to be very concerned about my eldest daughter..."

Chen Mu pretended not to hear and thanked him directly: "Thank you very much, senior."

After he sat down again, Ao Chun and the others finally realized that Chen Mu was not unaware of his elder sister's affairs, he had clearly done it on purpose!

……

While the banquet was being held in the Xuan Palace, deep in the Dragon Palace.

An exquisite attic stands tall, with several entrances leading to the back of the house, and finally to the women's room, which is a small pavilion.

The room was filled with warm fragrance. There was a carved cage hanging on the window. A green parrot was flying in the cage, but it could not hear anyone speak and just kept chirping.

Beside it, there was a beautiful woman with skin as white as cream and a charming face, who was teasing it sideways. Her delicate hands were giving it powerful ideas, which prevented the green parrot from stopping for a moment. No wonder it kept chirping.

But this scene did not last long. The beautiful woman suddenly felt something. After her eyes moved, she waved her hand to raise the ban on the pavilion and walked straight into the inner room.

"Good, good, good!"

The green parrot finally had some free time and landed with its wings flapping.

The beautiful woman pretended not to hear and reached out to take out a black ancient talisman.

As soon as this talisman appeared, black air suddenly appeared in the room. If an outsider looked in, he would feel the demonic aura in it.

The beautiful woman remained unmoved and instead used some of her spiritual power to explore.

"Chen Mu..."

She muttered to herself, her eyebrows furrowed, and she fell into deep thought...

After an unknown amount of time, she put away the ancient talisman with her backhand. A murderous look suddenly appeared on her face, and she seemed to mutter to herself: "Chen Mu... maybe it can be..."

"Kill, kill, kill..."

The green parrot may have noticed something, and its voice suddenly changed, becoming quite sharp and piercing.

The beautiful woman was a little displeased, and immediately a ray of light shot out, then she stood up and floated away.

"Squeak."

There was a slight sound from the door, and all that was left was a green parrot lying headfirst on the bottom of its cage. Its sharp beak opened and closed, and its voice changed again: "Don't kill it, don't kill it..."

……

The banquet is gradually coming to an end.

The lights came on and the hall was brightly lit.

Ao Chun came close to Chen Mu's desk, his lips moving as if he was saying something.

Chen Mu also nodded frequently, looking like he was listening.

But before long, he had an idea and looked up at the entrance of the Xuan Palace.

Before him, the Dragon Mother also turned her head to look, looking quite surprised.

"Da da da……"

The footsteps came closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

Everyone stopped talking and turned their attention over there.

When the person walked around the screen and appeared in front of everyone, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Ao Yun's eyes widened as he stammered, "Auntie...Auntie, aren't you in seclusion?"

The person who came was surprisingly the beautiful woman from earlier. She didn't rush to answer Ao Yun, but instead looked up at the seat at the top, bowed deeply, and then said as if complaining, "Sister-in-law, since you have a guest, why didn't you tell me?"

The Dragon Mother smiled and said calmly, "What difference does it make whether I know or not? Is there anything in the palace that can be hidden from you?"

She waved her hand and said, "Since you're here, please take a seat."

Chen Mu's eyes moved when he saw this, and he felt that the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law should not be very good.

"She is Ao Yunjin..."

At this time, Gui San, whose face was flushed from drinking, did not forget to introduce himself to him.

Chen Mu nodded, and immediately focused his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, trying to downplay his presence.

He felt that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so in order to avoid trouble in his life, it would be better not to attract attention.

But things in the world are always unpredictable and never develop as planned... Ao Yunjin first thanked the Dragon Mother, and after taking his seat, he looked straight at Chen Mu.

"Is this the Daoist Chen Mu who 'came back from the dead'?"

Ao Chun, who was standing by, frowned and couldn't help but mutter, "What's the matter with death? Auntie, what you said is a bit harsh."

Ao Yunjin's face darkened. "When the elders are talking, how can you interrupt them?"

Ao Chun was about to retort, but Chen Mu interrupted him and bowed, saying, "I am Chen Mu, nice to meet you, Daoist Fellow Ao."

He could see that Ao Yunjin was still in the Nascent Soul stage. Although he could reach perfection, he was still on the same path as him.

"Um……"

Ao Yunjin nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes wandering over Chen Mu's body, examining him thoroughly.

Chen Mu frowned secretly, somewhat confused about her intentions. Just as he was about to speak to test her, he heard Ao Yunjin suddenly say, "What a remarkable heartless man! No wonder my niece is so infatuated with you..."

He never stops until his words shock people. As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed immediately.

At this point in the banquet, it was clear that both parties had reached a tacit understanding.

Although they all knew the relationship between Ao Yi and Chen Mu, none of them had any intention of making it public.

Why? Just because I'm afraid of unexpected events...

Especially since Ao Yi has been practicing the "Dragon Seal Blessing Technique" for decades. Although this method cannot be interrupted, he is afraid that something might not work?

But right now...

The Dragon Mother immediately scolded, "Yunjin, stop talking and leave!"

Ao Yunjin wasn't afraid of her. He snorted and said, "Why do you want to retreat? My niece and I have a very good relationship. How can I bear to see her being let down like this?!"

This was a bit funny. Everyone in the palace knew that the eldest princess was a stranger to her. Even when they met in the past, they would just nod and greet each other.

Ao Chun was indignant and was about to say a few words on Chen Mu's behalf.

But before she could open her mouth, Chen Mu stood up and said calmly, "What exactly do you want to say, Fellow Daoist Ao?"

Seeing that he neither explained nor denied it hastily, Ao Yunjin's eyes flashed with a strange color. After a pause, he pursed his lips and smiled, "What can I say? I just want to ask, Fellow Daoist Chen, do you really want to be my son-in-law in the Dragon Palace?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned again.

Now not only Chen Mu didn't know what she was going to do, but even Ao Yin and others were confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Looking at Chen Mu, who was frowning and silent, obviously thinking about something, Ao Yunjin's mood was also in turmoil.

"The Demonic Heaven Alliance actually values ​​him so much that they were willing to make such a solemn promise to me in order to send him over..."

"What on earth is there in him that is worthy of the two True Lords telling us about it?"

"Although demonic cultivators cannot be fully trusted, this person must have a secret, otherwise how could he be able to 'resurrect from the dead'..."

She had no intention of doing what the demon cultivator said, but she couldn't help but become interested in Chen Mu.

"Such people should be controlled by my Dragon Palace..."

Thinking of this, she also stood up and said again, "Fellow Daoist Chen, your coming here to express your feelings is enough to prove the importance of my eldest niece in your heart. Since you two care so much about each other, why don't you become my son-in-law in the Dragon Palace and live together as a pair from now on? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The Dragon Mother couldn't listen any more, but before she could order the other party to leave, she saw Ao Yunjin sending her a message, his eyes flickering, and it was unclear what he was saying.

In just a short moment, the Dragon Mother's gloomy expression quietly changed. After looking up at Ao Yunjin, she actually stopped all her movements...

Chen Mu saw everything and made his own decision.

He naturally wouldn't agree to Ao Yunjin's proposal. He suddenly appeared, mentioned this matter, and even asked him to be the Dragon Palace's son-in-law...

Not to mention that before coming here, Prime Minister Gui had already mentioned "Don't make promises easily", even without this warning, he would not have agreed rashly.

It's not that he hasn't thought about finding a good son-in-law in the Dragon Palace, but at this moment, there is a twelve out of ten chance that it won't work!

After thinking it through, Chen Mu relaxed.

Why bother trying to guess Ao Yunjin's intentions? He just had to stick to his original intentions.

He sat down again, shook his head and smiled, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ao, please stop joking. The Princess is in seclusion and hasn't come out yet, so why are you discussing such matters?"

Ao Yunjin's expression remained unchanged, as if he was not surprised at all by Chen Mu's answer.

"You two are in love and have already made up your minds, so why not?"

Chen Mu still shook his head: "I appreciate Fellow Daoist Ao's kindness, but please don't mention this matter again..."

"What if I insist on bringing it up?" Ao Yunjin's brows flushed slightly. He walked a few steps out of the table and looked down at Chen Mu.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm afraid my aunt is going crazy again!" Ao Yun shook his head and sighed, subconsciously moving away.

Ao Chun looked at the Dragon Mother, as if persuading her to speak quickly.

"Crazy woman..."

Seeing this, Chen Mu suddenly remembered the name Gui San had mentioned for Ao Yunjin before.

"Cough cough cough..."

Gui San suddenly coughed and climbed up, then walked towards Ao Yunjin with an apologetic smile and said, "Aunt Yunjin, please give San'er some face and let's not talk about this matter for now, okay..."

"roll!"

Ao Yunjin suddenly roared, and his spiritual energy suddenly vibrated. Scales appeared on his face, and his head and horns became prominent, revealing half of the dragon's appearance.

Gui San felt a dragon's roar that reached deep into his soul. He subconsciously retracted his head and quickly retreated. As he passed by Chen Mu, he reminded him, "Master Turtle tried his best, but this crazy dragon doesn't understand human language..."

Chen Mu's face darkened, he looked up at the Dragon Mother, and said loudly: "Senior, where do you get this from?"

"My friend, you may not know that Yun Jin had a problem with his cultivation in his early years, which caused him to have an extreme and irritable temper. If he can't vent his anger, it may be life-threatening."

The Dragon Mother's eyes flickered, and she said with a helpless look, "It just so happens that my sister-in-law is quite beloved by my brother. He has even established a rule that no one in the palace should provoke her, or else she would have to calm her anger herself, and even I cannot interfere."

"My friend, you seem innocent. In my opinion, you might as well just agree to it for now and sort it out later. What do you say?"

Chen Mu almost cursed in his heart. He naturally knew that this was an excuse. If even she couldn't interfere, then wouldn't Ao Yunjin have the final say in the Dragon Palace?

"Chen Mu!"

At this moment, Ao Yunjin's eyes flashed like lightning, and he asked again: "I ask you again, are you willing to be the Dragon Palace's son-in-law?!"

"Crash..."

Inspiration surged like a tide, overturning many desks and chairs in an instant.

Ao Yun hid far away, but still tried to persuade him: "Brother Chen, when Auntie gets angry... she's not kidding, just go along with her for now!"

Seeing that his mother had no intention of taking action, Ao Chun could only persuade her loudly.

As those who had seen Ao Yunjin go crazy, they naturally knew how powerful she was...

Seeing Chen Mu remained silent, Ao Yunjin's anger ignited, his face as gloomy as dark water, and he spoke word by word, "If you don't do it, I will beat you until you do it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she moved forward with a bang, and the sound of a dragon's roar was heard in the field, and the whole sky was filled with red!

But at this moment, Chen Mu flicked his sleeves and said coldly, "Since no one can control you, I will cure your madness!"

"Let's see if you are okay or not!"
