Mushroom Man

Chapter 339 Is there a way to transform into a dragon in this world?

"I cannot ask you to risk your life for a single mushroom recipe."

"We still have some dragon blood mushrooms left, so we should be able to last a while longer."

"As for whether it will be enough, that depends on Miaoyin's own fate."

The Silver Dragon King was ultimately a kind-hearted man; he couldn't bring himself to shamelessly make people risk their lives for him.

This is his mistake and his retribution; others should not be made to pay for it.

However unexpectedly...

After hearing these words, Wu Liang shook his head.

"No, it would be fine if I didn't know."

"Now that we know what difficulties Miss Miaoyin is facing, how can I sit idly by and do nothing?"

"Miss Miaoyin's chronic illness is extremely painful, and she could lose her life at any time if it is delayed for even a day."

"Even if Senior Silver Dragon King forbids it, this junior will still do his best to come up with a cure for Miss Miaoyin's illness."

The Silver Dragon King was moved, somewhat puzzled by this.

He frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you... afraid of delaying the mushroom refining process and losing your own life?"

"It's true that Miaoyin has been kind to you, but it doesn't seem to warrant you going to such lengths, does it?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang smiled calmly and said frankly, "Senior Silver Dragon King, to be honest..."

"After spending this time together, I have actually developed feelings for Miss Miaoyin."

"Everyone loves beauty, and Miss Miaoyin is an absolute beauty with a gentle and kind personality."

"How could a junior like me not be tempted by such a person?"

He paused for a moment, a bitter look flashing across his face.

"However, I am very clear in my heart..."

"As a human, I am destined to have no future with Miss Miaoyin, the dragon princess. We are destined to be together but not to be together."

"Although I am unable to marry Miss Miaoyin or express my feelings for her, I still want to do something for her."

"Therefore, no matter what, I will make sure that Miss Miaoyin lives out the rest of her life happily and healthily."

Wu Liang openly and unscrupulously expressed his love for his daughter in front of his "father-in-law," without the slightest embarrassment.

His words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving the Silver Dragon King stunned.

You little rascal!

No wonder he wanted to stay in the Dragon Palace, it turns out it's because of my daughter!
The Silver Dragon King came to his senses, his expression extremely strange.

If it were anyone else, would they dare say such nonsense to his face?

No matter how kind-hearted he is, he would probably kick him out of the West Palace.

But the person who said these words was Wu Liang, who was willing to risk his life and waste his energy to find a remedy for his daughter.

This truly prevented him from getting even the slightest bit angry.

He even felt quite sorry for Wu Liang.

After all, if we disregard the difference between humans and dragons, Wu Liang's character and talent truly make him the ideal son-in-law in his eyes.

pity……

As a dragon princess, Ao Miaoyin would never be allowed by the Dragon Palace to marry a human mushroom master.

Even he, as the king, could not rule with absolute authority.

He might be able to decide which dragonman Miaoyin marries, but he cannot make the decision for her to marry a human.

The Silver Dragon King opened his mouth, as if to say something.

However, at that moment, he suddenly frowned and glanced almost imperceptibly outside.

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and turned it back to Wu Liang.

Throughout the entire process, Wu Liang was completely unaware and knew nothing about it.

The Silver Dragon King sighed and said with some helplessness, "Young friend Wu, since that's the case, then I will no longer try to persuade you."

"However, young friend Wu, you should think this through carefully. The Golden Dragon King is not so easily fooled."

"It is already extremely difficult to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom in three months, and now we have to be distracted by the task of developing the mushroom formula."

"I really can't imagine how young friend Wu will solve these problems."

"If all else fails, young friend Wu, you should just be honest and let me buy a Righteous Qi Mushroom for you and deliver it."

When the Silver Dragon King said these words, he had already guessed that Wu Liang would refuse, so he did not have any hope.

Now he has a general understanding of Wu Liang's personality.

Although this brat is humble, kind, sincere, honest, and has a lot of love in his heart, he is an inflexible and stubborn mule.

Once you've decided on a principle, you won't turn back.

This temperament really gave him a headache.

"Senior Silver Dragon King..."

"You don't actually need to worry about the younger generation."

Looking at the Silver Dragon King's appearance, Wu Liang knew exactly what he was thinking.

He smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "I know what I'm doing. If it's truly impossible, I certainly won't be foolish enough to just wait to die."

"At that time, I will shamelessly ask Senior Silver Dragon King for a way to survive."

Wu Liang paused slightly at this point.

A look of longing crossed his face, and he began to speak eloquently.

"Senior Silver Dragon King, do you know?"

"I am actually very afraid of death. I don't want to die, and I can't die."

"I am unwilling to be destined to be with Miss Miaoyin for a lifetime but not to be together."

"If I were to die, Miss Miaoyin would truly become someone else's wife."

"Moreover, I have heard that there is a way to transform a person into a dragon."

"Whether it's true or not, it at least gives the younger generation something to look forward to."

"If one day I can find this method to transform into a dragon, I will be able to fully integrate into the Dragon Palace and be qualified to marry Miss Miaoyin."

"Therefore, for this goal, I will live well no matter what."

As soon as this statement came out...

The Silver Dragon King's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

However, his expression quickly returned to normal, and Wu Liang did not notice anything amiss. The Silver Dragon King looked helpless and shook his head.

"You brat, there's no way in the world to turn someone into a dragon."

"If such a thing existed, it could only be a possession technique used by a demon, something a mere third-level mushroom master like you could never attempt."

"But it's a good thing that you have this idea."

"If that's the case, I won't stop you. Hurry up and go down to refine the mushrooms."

"If you need anything, feel free to come to me."

"If you fail to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom in the end, I will do everything in my power to spare your life for the sake of the mushroom recipe."

The Silver Dragon King spoke encouragingly, his words revealing his intention to protect Wu Liang.

Of course, all of this is based on that mushroom recipe.

The Righteous Qi Mushroom and the Dragon Blood Mushroom Formula, either one, can keep Wu Liang safe and sound.

The former represents the friendship of the Golden Dragon King, and can make one a distinguished guest of the Dragon Palace.

The latter is a friendship with the Silver Dragon King, which could lead to further plotting the Dragon Transformation Technique and potentially making him a son-in-law who can ride a dragon.

From a purely self-interested perspective, the former would undoubtedly be of the greatest help to Wu Liang.

However, for Wu Liang, only children make choices.

Distinguished guests from the Dragon Palace, a son-in-law destined to ride the dragon—he wants them all!

Wu Liang's eyes gleamed, and he was particularly confident about this.

It was already late, and the two of them had been chatting for a full hour without realizing it.

With the Silver Dragon King intending to see him off, Wu Liang decided not to bother him any longer.

He bowed respectfully, rose to take his leave, and immediately departed from the West Hall.

"What a good kid..."

The Silver Dragon King stroked the stubble on his chin, watching Wu Liang leave, and couldn't help but sigh.

A moment later, after Wu Liang disappeared from sight, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction.

"You silly girl, your sweetheart's already gone, aren't you coming out?"

As soon as this statement came out...

Then Ao Miaoyin, with her head down and face flushed, walked out from behind the inconspicuous screen.

Judging from her appearance, she had obviously been eavesdropping for quite some time.

At the very least, he must have heard Wu Liang say that he liked Miss Miaoyin.

Otherwise, Ao Miaoyin wouldn't be blushing to the roots of her ears like this now.

It's possible that Ao Miaoyin never left from the beginning, but instead hid here and listened to everything from start to finish.

It's quite normal that Ao Miaoyin was able to do this without being noticed by the Silver Dragon King.

After all, Ao Miaoyin possessed several life-saving measures arranged by the Silver Dragon King at the request of the Palace Master.

One of the life-saving methods involves concealment and hiding.

Unless you are deliberately looking for her, it is very difficult to find Ao Miaoyin who has no aura fluctuations.

If it weren't for Wu Liang expressing his love for Ao Miaoyin in front of the Silver Dragon King, causing her emotions to fluctuate and thwarting the Palace Master's scheme...

It's estimated that even now, the Silver Dragon King might not have realized that Ao Miaoyin was eavesdropping.

"You, you have some nerve."

“You dare to eavesdrop on your father’s conversations with others.”

"When did my Miaoyin become so disobedient?"

The Silver Dragon King had a stern face, but he couldn't bring himself to be fierce towards his daughter.

If it were the Golden Dragon King, he would probably beat Ao Miaoyin so badly that she wouldn't be able to get out of bed.

"This……"

"I was wrong, Father, please don't be angry."

Ao Miaoyin lowered her head, her voice soft and weak, and decisively admitted her mistake.

Even now, her head is still spinning, and her thoughts are a complete mess.

Even she herself didn't know how she could be so bold.

He was so bewitched that he did something so reckless and rude as to eavesdrop on his father's conversation with Prince Wu.

What Ao Miaoyin didn't know was...

She was indeed bewitched, except that the ghost was a guy surnamed Wu.

"You little rascal...how much did you hear?"

The Silver Dragon King's expression was complicated, but his tone softened.

Ao Miaoyin spoke in a voice barely above a whisper, “Father, I heard everything.”

Yes, I heard everything.

Including the fact that Young Master Wu is actually a Blood Path Mushroom Master.

Ao Miaoyin had actually guessed this long ago.

After all, when Wu Liang and Crown Prince Ao Tang were fighting, she had keenly sensed something was amiss.

In addition, she had seen blood-sucking mosquitoes when she saved Wu Liang.

Combining these two points, it wasn't difficult to deduce that Wu Liang possessed blood-based techniques.

Even if Ao Miaoyin knew that Wu Liang was actually a Blood Path Mushroom Master, it wouldn't affect anything at all.

After all, in her eyes, the fact that Young Master Wu cultivated the Blood Path did not change the fact that he was a good person.

Ao Miaoyin pursed her lips, and before the Silver Dragon King could ask any further questions, she mustered her courage and spoke with a hint of hope.

"Father, is there really no... method in this world to transform a human into a dragon?"

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King paused, seemingly not expecting Ao Miaoyin to ask such a question.

His expression was complicated, and he remained silent for a long time.

Just when Ao Miaoyin thought her father wouldn't answer her...

The Silver Dragon King's slightly hoarse and deep voice slowly entered my ears.

"Yes, there really is a method for transforming into a dragon in this world."
