Mushroom Man

Chapter 305 Dragon-People Alien Race, Good People and Bad People

Dragon Palace.

A quaint, antique palace filled with coral.

Wu Liang lay on a sandalwood bed, his breathing steady.

At this moment, all of his injuries have been healed by Princess Miaoyin using the Life-Giving Mushroom.

Huang'er and Princess Miaoyin sat to one side, idly fiddling with their jewelry, chatting and laughing.

"As expected of a princess, she brought an outsider into the Dragon Palace and didn't even get punished."

"Huang'er accidentally killed a little goldfish last time, and he was scolded quite a bit by Lord Silver Dragon King."

"Lord Silver Dragon King, aren't you being far too biased...?"

Huang'er pouted, with the Silver Dragon King chirping behind her.

Princess Miaoyin shook her head with a smile and said softly, "You silly girl, you're talking nonsense again."

"The little goldfish you killed was Father's precious pet that he had raised for a long time."

"Your father only scolded you a few times and did not punish you, which is already showing leniency."

"You silly girl, it's one thing to be ungrateful, but why do you go and say behind my father's back that he's biased?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Huang'er smiled sheepishly and said nothing more.

She didn't really mean to say anything bad about the Silver Dragon King.

She was just joking.

Throughout the entire Dragon Palace, everyone knows that the Silver Dragon King Ao Ren was the most benevolent Dragon King.

He is extremely protective of his subordinates, having nothing to say about those who are good to him.

When the dragon-man mushroom masters under the Silver Dragon King make mistakes, they usually don't receive any particularly severe punishment.

This stands in stark contrast to the Golden Dragon King of the East Palace.

The Golden Dragon King cannot tolerate even the slightest imperfection.

Any dragon person who makes a mistake will be punished severely.

However, in the entire Dragon Palace, if we were to ask who is most beloved by the dragon people...

It wasn't actually the Silver Dragon King, but the Golden Dragon King.

The reason why the Golden Dragon King was more beloved by the dragon people than the Silver Dragon King was because he was ruthless not only to his own people but also to outsiders.

The Silver Dragon King's rise and fall both stemmed from his benevolence.

His kindness was too indecisive, even weak and easily bullied.

When faced with human mushroom masters who bully dragon people, the Silver Dragon King always acts as a peacemaker, advising the dragon people not to retaliate.

In fact, most of the time, it was clearly the humans who were at fault, actively provoking the dragons.

However, the Silver Dragon King ignored this and did not distinguish right from wrong. Instead of supporting the dragon people, he took the initiative to compensate the human mushroom masters.

This is because such things have happened far too many times.

Consequently, the dragon-men mushroom masters in the Dragon Palace generally looked down on the Silver Dragon King, only showing him superficial respect.

On the other hand, the Golden Dragon King is the true leader in the hearts of the dragon people.

He was ruthless towards human mushroom masters; any human he encountered was either enslaved or used as food.

As beings of different kinds, dragon people have always suffered from exclusion, oppression, and humiliation by humans.

The Golden Dragon King's attitude towards humans greatly released the resentment of the Dragonman Mushroom Masters.

Therefore, he was the most beloved Dragon King in the Dragon Palace.

Even the Palace Master, who has already ascended to immortality, cannot compare to the Golden Dragon King's status in the hearts of the dragon people.

And at the same time...

Just as Princess Miaoyin and Huang'er were joking around and chatting about their private matters as young ladies...

suddenly!

"Buzzing—"

A sharp, piercing buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

The next moment, a serrated greatsword that was spinning wildly appeared on the necks of the two people!

This serrated greatsword was clearly transformed from the serrated golden centipede.

It gleamed with a cold light, and the bloody smell lingered on its serrated teeth, making one feel nauseous.

The sudden anomaly startled the two, leaving them pale and their minds blank.

Princess Miaoyin is a third-level mushroom master, while Huang'er is a second-level mushroom master.

Logically speaking, someone who has such cultivation at such a young age should not be so incompetent.

However, the cultivation levels of these two guys were actually artificially boosted by the resources of the Dragon Palace.

Of course, this is not to say that they are all useless people with no talent.

On the contrary, as dragon people, they are born with Dao traces, and their talents are no less than those of human mushroom masters.

The reason they were so terrified by a centipede is entirely because they were protected far too well.

Princess Miaoyin and Huang'er were like flowers in a greenhouse; they were beautiful but useless, and would break at the slightest touch.

After a moment, Princess Miaoyin overcame her fear and was the first to react.

Now that they are in the Dragon Palace, they are unlikely to encounter any danger.

The only danger comes from this outsider we rescued.

Princess Miaoyin then realized this and immediately knew that Wu Liang had awakened.

She tried to calm her flustered emotions and did not turn around rashly, but spoke as gently as possible.

"You, are you awake?"

"Relax, we mean no harm."

“We only brought you back to treat you because you were unconscious and injured.”

Princess Miaoyin's voice was soft and gentle, giving people a strangely reassuring feeling.

By this time, she had completely calmed down, and her voice became increasingly steady.

"Oh? Treatment?"

Wu Liang's voice rang out softly, as if he were somewhat surprised.

At that moment, Wu Liang stood silently behind them, holding a serrated golden centipede.

If at this time, the two women make any unusual moves...

I'm afraid their necks will be instantly shredded by the sawtooth centipede.

In fact, Wu Liang had already woken up just now.

However, he did not act rashly, but instead kept eavesdropping on the two people's conversation, trying to figure out his own situation.

When he realized that he had been taken to an unfamiliar place.

Wu Liang's first thought was that these two guys wanted to harm him. Driven by the idea of ​​striking first, he suddenly attacked.

The result was unexpected...

These two guys don't seem to be people with ill intentions; on the contrary, they're the ones who saved his life... good people?
Wu Liang narrowed his eyes, his expression particularly strange.

In this day and age, there are still such kind-hearted people in Beihai?
Despite having no relatives or friends with him, she not only saved him but also healed his injuries.

"where is this place?"

Wu Liang spoke in a calm and indifferent tone, his voice deep and clear.

Princess Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he did not kill her without distinguishing right from wrong.

"This is the Dragon Palace of the Dragon People."

"We dragon people have no ill intentions towards humans, please rest assured, young master."

Dragon Palace?

Wu Liang recalled the memories of the Blood River Ancestor and discovered that there was no such thing as a Dragon Palace in his memories.

However, there is no Dragon Palace, but there are memories related to dragon people.

In the memories of the Blood River Ancestor...

Dragonmen are one of the nine extraordinary races.

During the medieval period, they were already rare and on the verge of extinction.

The so-called "other people" are all living beings in this world other than humans.

These creatures are said to have been created by the mushroom people as well.

However, in the legends of the mushroom people written by humans, these alien races rarely have a role.

The aliens are different from humans; they resemble humans but are not.

It is said that in ancient times, before Taiping Tianzun became a supreme being, the mushroom world was ruled by extraordinary people.

Compared to humans, the extraordinary beings are uniquely endowed with various innate Dao traces.

As one of the extraordinary beings, the Dragon People naturally possess the same destiny.

Dragon people are born with traces of the Dao of Slaves, dragon horns on their foreheads, dragon pupils in their eyes, and dragon scales and tails. They are a natural-born royal race.

They are adept at enslaving other life forms, and are also very united internally.

'Unexpectedly, I've turned misfortune into a blessing, encountering the nearly extinct Dragon-Human race in the Mushroom World.'

'Dragon people are born with innate Dao traces; these are excellent materials for cultivation.'

'However, since we are currently unfamiliar with this place and have no clear understanding of this so-called Dragon Palace, it would be best not to act rashly.'

Wu Liang's eyes flickered slightly as he thought of this, and he temporarily suppressed his thoughts.

With a sudden thought, he immediately retrieved the serrated golden centipede.

This time, he activated the Sawtooth Golden Centipede entirely with the true energy accumulated from the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom.

In this situation, one should naturally save as much as possible.

Since there is no danger, there is no need to pretend anymore and waste our true energy.

"I see, I misunderstood."

"Since this young lady saved me, she is my benefactor."

"I was unaware of this beforehand and frightened my benefactor. Please don't take it to heart..."

After putting away the serrated golden centipede, Wu Liang gave a wry smile and pretended to be embarrassed as he apologized.

Princess Miaoyin mustered her courage and turned around.

When she saw Wu Liang's apologetic expression, the little anger she had left vanished instantly.

"it does not matter……"

"It's normal for you to be wary, young master. After all, there are indeed many misunderstandings between us dragon people and humans."

"I only hope that you will not feel disgusted by us, young master, just because we are dragon people, a different race."

Princess Miaoyin smiled slightly, speaking softly and gently.

Her appearance and gentle, soothing voice left Wu Liang somewhat dazed.

At that moment, Wu Liang inexplicably thought of his mother, who was still bedridden on Blue Star, waiting for him to return.

In his memory...

My mother is always so gentle, and she always speaks softly.

Wu Liang sighed almost imperceptibly, and the malice hidden deep within his eyes as he looked at Princess Miaoyin lessened.

He smiled slightly and said, "My benefactor is too kind. How could I possibly dislike you?"

"In my opinion, dragon people are no different from humans. They are both intelligent beings and children of mushroom people."

"All living beings under heaven are one family, and none of them is superior or inferior."

"Moreover, you are my benefactor, having saved my life."

"Forget about dislike, I actually have a great fondness for dragon people now."

Wu Liang speaks to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language.

They clearly didn't consider the dragon people as human beings at all, and even treated them like mushrooms.

As a result, once it came to the mouth, they became family.

And his words...

As luck would have it, it really hit Princess Miaoyin's sweet spot.

Princess Miaoyin had heard far too many prejudices about the human race while in the Dragon Palace.

The vast majority of dragon people say that humans are a bunch of greedy, treacherous, and cunning creatures who are not worth trusting.

Only her father told her that there were good and bad people among humans, and that the two races should live in harmony.

Princess Miaoyin was initially skeptical about this.

He planned to use the opportunity of rescuing Wu Liang, a human, to verify the good and bad people his father had mentioned.

And indeed, she was not disappointed!

There are indeed kind people among humans who do not look down on dragon people!

"Young master is truly a good person."

"It was just a small favor; Miaoyin is not worthy of being called your benefactor."

"Young master, you may call me Ao Miaoyin. May I ask how you should address me?"

Princess Miaoyin, also known as Ao Miaoyin, rose with a smile, gave a graceful bow, and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang smiled modestly.

"It was just a small favor for Miss Miaoyin, but for me it was a life-saving grace."

"I am... Commander Wu. Thank you, Miss Miaoyin."
