Mushroom Man

Outside the palace.

Nearly a day has passed since Ao Miaoyin's accident and subsequent unconsciousness.

The news had already spread, and many dragon people who cared about Princess Miaoyin heard from somewhere that the princess had been harmed by the human mushroom master, and they all came to visit her.

However, without exception, they were all stopped by the dragon maiden guarding the gate.

Just then, Wu Liang, dressed in red, also appeared here.

You should know that the Golden Dragon King had previously made it clear that he was not allowed to leave Peach Blossom Residence, or else he would be treated rudely.

However, Wu Liang still came without hesitation.

This shows their willingness to disregard their own safety in order to visit Princess Miaoyin.

Anyone who sees this young master Wu would think that he is a person who values ​​loyalty and gratitude.

"Sisters, please be accommodating..."

"I have heard that Miss Miaoyin is seriously ill and wish to go in and visit her."

Wu Liang spoke with a hint of worry, and bowed politely to the dragon maiden guarding the gate.

When the gatekeeper dragon girl saw the person who had come, who was none other than the young master Wu whom the princess cared about, she couldn't help but hesitate.

“Young Master Wu, it’s not that we are unwilling to let you in.”

"Indeed, Lord Silver Dragon King had given prior instructions that no one was allowed to disturb the princess."

The dragon maidens guarding the gate exchanged glances, then shook their heads and politely declined.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang did not give up. Instead, with a touch of stubbornness, he said, "If that's the case, then we should put it in even more."

"If the sisters are really unsure, perhaps we should inform them."

"I imagine that once Senior Silver Dragon King finds out, he will let me go..."

"This..." The dragon maidens guarding the gate hesitated when they saw Wu Liang speaking with such certainty.

"Very well, then we'll inform them."

"If Lord Silver Dragon King does not respond, please return home and do not make things difficult for us."

The gatekeeper dragon girl looked at Wu Liang's determined expression and his constant calling her "sister."

They softened their hearts and finally agreed to pass on the message to Lord Silver Dragon King.

"Thank you..."

Wu Liang thanked him softly and stood there waiting to be summoned.

Just as he said, he was quite certain that the Silver Dragon King would let him in.

After all, he was the person in the Dragon Palace who knew the most about Ao Miaoyin's chronic illness, besides the Silver Dragon King.

The hope of refining the Dragon Blood Mushroom and saving Ao Miaoyin still rests on him.

In this situation, even if he doesn't come, the Silver Dragon King will eventually come to him to inquire about the progress of deriving the Dragon Blood Mushroom formula.

However, only Wu Liang and the Silver Dragon King knew about these secrets; no one else knew anything about them.

Therefore……

While he was waiting for the Silver Dragon King's summons, some of the dragon-man mushroom masters who were reluctant to leave and were also concerned about Princess Miaoyin made sarcastic remarks.

"Oh, isn't this Master Wu?"

"How come they got the same cold shoulder as us?"

"That makes sense. The princess fell seriously ill because she was harmed by your human race."

"The Silver Dragon King's decision not to drive you out is already a great favor. How could he possibly let you come here and cause trouble?"

"You filthy humans, get out of here! Haven't you harmed the princess enough?"

The dragon-man mushroom masters, one after another, made no attempt to hide their disgust for the human race.

Clearly, the chaos caused by humans in the Dragon Palace during this period has led these dragon people to direct their anger towards Wu Liang.

Wu Liang had previously hidden in Peach Blossom Residence, never venturing out of the main gate or the inner gate, which allowed him to escape this calamity.

Now that Wu Liang has taken the initiative to come out, he has undoubtedly run into the line of fire of these dragon people.

If this weren't the princess's palace, and the Silver Dragon King wasn't also inside.

These enraged dragonmen had probably already been itching to lay a hand on Wu Liang, teach him a lesson, and vent their anger. But Wu Liang remained calm and unaffected by their taunts.

Seeing this, the dragon people became even angrier.

They all chimed in, their mockery becoming even more excessive.

He kept calling humans filthy, spewing out everything he should and shouldn't have said.

"enough!"

Just then, a shout suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Prince Ao Tang approaching with a frown on his face.

For a moment, all the dragon people, including Wu Liang, couldn't help but show surprise.

No one expected that Prince Ao Tang, who had been punished by the Golden Dragon King and imprisoned in the Dragon Prison to reflect on his actions, would also come to visit Princess Miao Yin.

“Brother Wu is not one of those filthy humans; he is a friend of the dragon people and a guest of the Dragon Palace.”

"Is this how you, as citizens of the Dragon Palace, treat the guests of the Dragon Palace?"

"This is utterly disgraceful to the Dragon Palace!"

"Brother Wu has defeated me, so he is now my friend."

"It's none of your business what kind of person he is."

Prince Ao Tang spoke domineeringly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Although he had previously lost to Wu Liang, which greatly diminished his prestige among the dragon people, he was still a prodigy among the dragon people and the son of the Golden Dragon King, and his remaining prestige was still there!

When the group of dragon-man mushroom masters faced Prince Ao Tang, they were like mice seeing a cat.

They all shrank back, shut their mouths, and dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Wu Liang was somewhat surprised to see that Crown Prince Ao Tang spoke up for him.

At the same time, he seemed to have discovered something, and feigned surprise, speaking up.

"Brother Ao Tang, you've... broken through?"

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Ao Tang nodded slightly and smiled proudly.

"That's right!"

"Brother Wu, if we fight again this time, it will be me, the Crown Prince, who will trample you under my feet."

As Prince Ao Tang spoke, he exuded the aura of a fourth-level mushroom master.

Clearly, he has finally broken through the bottleneck and successfully reached the initial stage of the fourth rank.

The reason why it went so smoothly was actually thanks to Xiao Chusheng.

If Xiao Chusheng hadn't taken him hostage, bringing him immense crisis and a sense of urgency, he probably wouldn't have broken through the bottleneck so quickly.

"Congratulations, Brother Ao Tang, on reaching the fourth level. I dare not spar with you this time; I humbly admit defeat..."

Wu Liang shook his head and smiled wryly, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Upon seeing this, Prince Ao Tang laughed heartily and was about to say something.

But at this moment...

"Which one of you is Young Master Wu? Lord Silver Dragon King invites you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang subconsciously looked up.

Then, two dragon maids, one in red and one in blue, arrived late, swaying their plump hips and long legs.

As luck would have it, 'Ah Hong and Ah Lan' also looked at him at the same time.

In an instant, the three of them exchanged glances and stared at each other.

However, they quickly separated, as if nothing had happened.

Ah Hong and Ah Lan remained calm and invited Wu Liang to enter the palace with them.

After Wu Liang withdrew his gaze, he felt the slight trembling of the human heart mushroom in his dantian and frowned almost imperceptibly.

'How strange...'

Why do I sense such immense malice emanating from these two dragon maids? (End of Chapter)
