Chapter 174 Has He Been Married?
"Father, I'm back."

“Are you okay?!”

The Dragon King of the East Sea checked on the Eighth Prince Ao Chun and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the Eighth Prince was alright.

"You returned late. What happened along the way?" the old Dragon King asked.

"That man called himself the Thunderbolt Immortal, saying he was going to Flower Fruit Mountain to visit the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, so I gave them a ride," Ao Chun said.

"Oh, oh." The old Dragon King nodded.

"How do you feel about that person?" the old Dragon King asked again.

"They were fairly friendly."

"Mmm." The old Dragon King raised his hand and stroked his beard.

“Such a powerful person is rare in this world,” the old Dragon King said.

The Dragon King of the East Sea identified the man by the roadside as an exceptionally strong individual because of the description given by the sea patrol yaksha.

All those who achieve immortality face the three calamities, and the vast majority choose to avoid them—this is the mainstream approach. The idea of ​​someone like the one by the roadside enduring the three calamities is something the old Dragon King has never seen or heard of since he ascended the throne.

When the sea patrol yaksha saw the roadside being scorched by eerie fire on the sea, he thought that the person was definitely beyond saving. But after taking a second look, he realized that the person was not beyond saving, but was just stubbornly enduring the fire!
Damn! How is that so awesome! I need to take a second look.

The sea patrol yaksha died while watching.

Even if he were killed by a flick of a finger on the roadside, the patrolling sea yaksha would not complain. He felt that it was worth it to have seen someone survive the three calamities in his life. He could even brag to the King of Hell when he went to the underworld.

"I went to visit the Great Sage, but he wasn't home..." the old Dragon King muttered.

“Ao Chun, you may go and invite him to our Dragon Palace as a guest.”

"It's getting late, so let's prepare a family feast and do our best to entertain you," said the old Dragon King.

"Father, I will be going now."

Ao Chun went alone, without any attendants, and arrived at the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain.

"Hey, isn't this the old neighbor's son? What brings you here?" The gibbon appeared and asked Ao Chun.

“My father sent me to invite you to dinner,” Ao Chun said.

"A feast? Who are you inviting? My king isn't here either. What happy occasion do you have that you're hosting?" the gibbon asked.

“I’ve come to invite the Thunder Immortal, who is visiting Flower Fruit Mountain today, to my home as a guest,” Ao Chun replied.

"Thunderbolt Immortal?"

The gibbon scratches its head.

"Is that person nicknamed 'Thunderbolt Immortal'?"

“He’s cooking for us,” the gibbon said.

"Come on, follow me."

The gibbon led Ao Chun into the Water Curtain Cave.

At this moment, a fire was being lit and stewed inside the Water Curtain Cave by the roadside, preparing dinner for the Monkey King's monkeys and their descendants, so that the monkeys who had never cooked before could also taste the flavors of the Southern Continent.

By actively befriending the monkeys by the roadside, he was also helping Chenxiang build a good relationship with them. Since Chenxiang wanted to stay in Flower Fruit Mountain to wait for the Great Sage to return, then let him stay there.

"Everything is ready, we can take it out and eat it now."

“Ohhhh~!!”

Several monkeys rushed forward and carried the stone pot and plate out of the kitchen. The monkeys, who were waiting to eat hot food, were all very excited.

"Huh? What are you doing here?" After leaving the kitchen, I saw the Eighth Prince Ao Chun being pulled along by the monkeys while waiting for dinner.

“Great Immortal, my father has asked me to invite you to the Dragon Palace as a guest,” Ao Chun said.

"To the sea?"

"Is there any difficulty?" Ao Chun asked.

"Dinner's served here too, should we go over now..."

"You should go over there!!"

The gibbon pushed the roadside and pulled Chenxiang up from his seat, placing him beside the roadside.

“That way there will be two fewer mouths to feed, you can go to the Dragon Palace to eat!” said the Long-Armed Ape.

When the Great Sage is not at home, the two long-armed apes, Beng and Ba, are in charge. At this time, it was General Beng, the long-armed ape, who ordered Lu Bian and Chen Xiang to follow the Eighth Prince Ao Chun to the Dragon Palace.

"Wait."

"Teach me the water-avoidance technique."

“My child can’t go into the water,” someone said by the roadside. “Easy, come here and I’ll read it to you.”

Before Chenxiang could even walk over, the gibbon jumped to his ear and whispered the water-avoidance incantation, quietly passing it on to him.

“Uh…” Ao Chun silently took out a water-repelling bead.

“Don’t worry if you can’t go into the water. I brought water-repelling beads with me. Once you swallow them, you’ll be just as comfortable in the sea as you are on land,” Ao Chun said.

"Why didn't you say so sooner that you had something this good?"

Ao Chun handed the small wooden box containing the water-repelling pearl to Lu Bian. Lu Bian opened the box, took out the water-repelling pearl, sensed its magnetic field power, and then ate it.

I didn't feel anything; the water-repelling bead stayed in my stomach and didn't go any deeper.

Ao Chun prepared two water-repelling beads. He believed that Chen Xiang could not possibly learn the water-repelling technique in just a few minutes, so he would have to use the water-repelling beads from his Dragon Palace.

“I understand,” Chenxiang said.

"Then we can go."

"Will you be back tonight?" the gibbon asked.

“They should stay overnight in my Dragon Palace,” Ao Chun said.

"Then we won't prepare a grass nest for you two," said the gibbon.

It's already a miracle that the gibbon doesn't sleep in the trees while hanging out with the monkeys; the fact that it has a grass nest to sleep in shows how much the gibbon values ​​agarwood and the roadside.

The three of them didn't need to go to the seaside of Flower Fruit Mountain. The pool under the iron bridge in the Water Curtain Cave led directly to the sea, and the gibbon told them to take this path to the Dragon Palace.

By the roadside, Chenxiang was allowed to try out the water-repelling technique first. Only after seeing that Chenxiang was unharmed did he and Ao Chun dive into the water together.

Once inside the water, the water-repellent beads begin to exert their power.

The water-repellent beads create a protective film on the roadside, as if the person is wearing a diving suit, to isolate them from the seawater and extract oxygen from the sea to provide oxygen for breathing.

"So that's how it works?"

In fact, he could do this without the water-repelling beads. His current physical strength is enough to withstand the water pressure of the deep sea, and breathing is a simple matter.

Ao Chun stayed close to Chen Xiang, constantly monitoring his condition.

Using the Water-Avoiding Technique is somewhat inconvenient, especially since this is the first time Chenxiang has used it to go to the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the East Sea.

Ao Chun was very worried about Chen Xiang.

Be ready to put the water-repellent bead into his mouth at any time.

"arrive."

They took a shortcut through the Water Curtain Cave, and with Ao Chun accelerating the ocean current, the two guests didn't have to spend much time and energy traveling in the sea.

"Please come with me, both of you."

The underwater architecture is very different from that on land, but in order to make it more familiar to outsiders, the exterior design of the Dragon Palace also imitates the appearance of the Heavenly Palace.

Following the Eighth Prince Ao Chun into the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the East Sea had prepared a banquet, waiting for the guests to arrive.

"Father! Our guest has arrived."

"Oh my! Oh my!! Seeing is believing, Thunder God, I've heard so much about you!!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea greeted him politely as soon as he arrived, and the roadside acquaintances also exchanged pleasantries with him.

The old Dragon King was very courteous, and even the eleven-year-old Chen Xiang was not slighted. After making sure everyone had the proper respect, they all sat down to begin the meal.

"These are all cold seafood dishes; I hope you two won't mind," the Dragon King said.

Fresh sea fish are prepared by the chefs at the Dragon Palace; the plump, deep-sea fish fillets are sliced ​​until translucent and beautifully presented on a plate; shrimp and crab are scalded in boiling water, their shells dismembered, and then chilled with ice; jellyfish, sea cucumber, and seaweed are served cold, refreshing and not greasy...

You can't smell it, but you're feasting your eyes, and the taste is so enticing that you'll want to linger by the roadside and admire the agarwood.

"Is the immortal marital?"

The old Dragon King inquired out of curiosity.

"Never married," someone by the roadside said.

"Oh!!" The old Dragon King's eyes lit up.

“I have a daughter who is of marriageable age. I’d like to invite her here so you can all meet her.”

The old Dragon King patted his son Ao Chun and used his divine sense to tell him to summon his sister, the Fourth Princess.

"..." Ao Chun got up, glanced at the figure by the roadside, and went to call her sister, the Fourth Princess, over with mixed feelings.
