Mushroom Man

"Senior Silver Dragon King..."

"To be honest, I have not come away empty-handed during this period."

"After much deliberation by the younger generation, we have actually found some clues on how to complete the mushroom recipe."

"However, it will take at least three or four months to completely deduce the recipe for Dragon Blood Mushroom, unless..."

Wu Liang suddenly spoke up, his tone hesitant.

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King, who had been disappointed, suddenly had a glint in his eyes and his spirits lifted.

However, when he heard that Wu Liang would need three or four months to fully deduce the mushroom formula, he calmed down again.

Given Ao Miaoyin's current condition, she can't possibly wait that long.

However, the Silver Dragon King sensed that Wu Liang seemed to have something left unsaid, so he quickly asked, "Young friend Wu, have you perhaps encountered some difficulties?"

"Don't worry, as long as we can deduce the mushroom formula as soon as possible, I will find a way to help you solve any difficulties."

"Is young friend Wu perhaps worried that it will delay the refining of the Righteous Qi Mushroom?"

"If that's really the case, then Young Friend Wu has nothing to worry about."

"If the Golden Dragon King knew that you delayed refining the Righteous Qi Mushroom because you saved Miaoyin, he probably wouldn't say anything."

"Even if he insists on making you refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom, I am here and will never let him lay a finger on you."

In his desperation, the Silver Dragon King was grasping at straws and no longer cared about anything else.

Previously, he might have been wary of the Golden Dragon King and dared not strongly protect Wu Liang.

However, Wu Liang's current situation concerns Miao Yin's life.

In this situation, if the Golden Dragon King were to do something to Wu Liang, the Silver Dragon King would be the first to object.

"Senior Silver Dragon King, you've misunderstood..."

Wu Liang gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"What troubles me is not the Righteous Qi Mushroom. If I wanted to refine this mushroom, it wouldn't actually require much effort."

"The reason why I haven't refined the Righteous Qi Mushroom yet is simply because my cultivation is insufficient and I'm not confident that I can succeed."

After Wu Liang finished speaking, he looked at the Silver Dragon King and said somewhat embarrassedly, "The real problem that is troubling me is that I don't have enough Refining Dao Mushrooms and Wisdom Dao Mushrooms."

"My thoughts are limited, and it is very difficult to deduce the mushroom formula. Even if I have a clue, I need to expend a lot of thought to verify it."

"Therefore, if there were corresponding mushrooms to assist, it would greatly reduce the time required to derive mushroom recipes."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King suddenly realized what was happening and breathed a sigh of relief.

He gave Wu Liang a strange look and glanced at him, who seemed a little embarrassed.

"I thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just a lack of mushrooms. What's so difficult about that?"

"The Dragon Palace may lack many things, but the one thing it has in abundance is mushrooms."

"If you can deduce the mushroom formula, then you will be the benefactor of this king and Miaoyin."

"It's just a few mushrooms, why be embarrassed to talk about it?"

"Later, I will take you to the Dragon Palace Treasury, where you can freely choose any mushrooms that can help with mushroom refining or even the derivation of mushroom recipes."

The Silver Dragon King was wealthy and powerful, and had a lot of confidence.

If Wu Liang makes other requests, he might have to consider them.

But asking for some mushrooms was no big deal for him.

After all, in his heart, Miaoyin was more important than any mushroom.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Silver Dragon King..."

"However, I am an outsider after all. If I go to the Dragon Palace Treasury to select mushrooms, I am afraid there will be rumors and gossip, which may implicate Senior Silver Dragon King."

Wu Liang pursed his lips, seemingly having some reservations about it.

Seeing this, the Silver Dragon King waved his hand dismissively.

"It's alright, I don't care about these things."

"If you're worried about rumors, I can certainly explain things for you and silence those dragon people's criticisms." Upon hearing this, Wu Liang shook his head earnestly.

"Since Senior Silver Dragon King doesn't care, then I have even less to worry about."

"A few criticisms are of no consequence to a junior like me."

"If I could bear more criticism in order to save Miss Miaoyin, I would be more than willing to do so."

What a good kid...

Despite being human, he willingly endured the scorn and criticism of the dragon people for the sake of that girl, Miaoyin.

Moreover, upon learning that Miaoyin had encountered an accident, he rushed over to visit her.

This can no longer be explained by repaying a debt of gratitude.

The Silver Dragon King felt gratified, realizing that he had not misjudged the man.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke in a somewhat inexplicable tone.

"Young friend Wu, I entrust Miaoyin to you."

"Miaoyin's condition is not optimistic right now, and we can't wait much longer."

"And right now, the only one who can save her is you, young friend Wu."

"If young friend Wu can do his utmost to save Miaoyin and get her out of danger, I can act as a matchmaker for you two..."

"If Miaoyin is willing, you will be my son-in-law."

As soon as the Silver Dragon King finished speaking, Wu Liang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He hadn't expected that the Silver Dragon King would say he wanted him to be his son-in-law at this time.

Given the current political climate in the Dragon Palace, they would not allow this human mushroom master to lay a finger on the dragon princess.

The Silver Dragon King's decision to recognize a human mushroom master as his son-in-law will undoubtedly put him under immense pressure if the dragon people, who hate humans, find out about it.

'No, something's not right...'

'How could this old man so easily be willing to marry his precious daughter to me?'

"Admittedly, in their eyes I might be a good person, but my identity is questionable, and my character is unknown."

'He would never have so hastily agreed to accept me as his son-in-law before he had thoroughly figured out who I was.'

Wu Liang sensed something unusual through the Human Heart Mushroom.

The Silver Dragon King might genuinely intend to make him his son-in-law.

However, at this critical juncture, even if the Silver Dragon King were foolish, he would not allow him to have any other involvement with Miaoyin.

And so, just as he had predicted...

The Silver Dragon King said these things at this time simply because he believed that Ao Miaoyin liked him and wanted to use this to keep him in check and make him work harder to develop the mushroom recipe.

Wu Liang, seeing through everything, understood the situation perfectly. He then feigned surprise and panic, and quickly spoke up.

"Senior Silver Dragon King is too kind."

“Miss Miaoyin saved my life, and I should save Miss Miaoyin’s life in return.”

"I will do my utmost in this matter and will not let down Senior Silver Dragon King's trust."

"As for the idea of ​​a son-in-law who will marry a dragon, this junior dares not even think about it. Senior Silver Dragon King, please don't tease this junior."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King glanced at Wu Liang, who was trying to appear calm, with some surprise.

He saw a hint of joy flash in Wu Liang's eyes and knew that this kid was not as indifferent to his future son-in-law as he claimed.

The Silver Dragon King couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, opening his mouth as if to say something.

But at this moment...

An extremely domineering aura approached from afar.

The owner of this aura was none other than the Golden Dragon King, who had sensed Wu Liang's unauthorized departure from Peach Blossom Residence and had come specifically to inspect the situation. (End of Chapter)
