Mushroom Man

"good very good!"

"He truly is the son-in-law I have chosen!"

Upon hearing Wu Liang's promise, the Silver Dragon King instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

“My dear son-in-law Wu, now that you have accepted my entrustment, then Miaoyin will be your family from now on.”

"Time is of the essence; we must refine the Dragon Blood Mushroom as soon as possible to revive Miaoyin."

"However, neither you nor I wish to harm those innocent dragon people."

"In that case, I'm going to take you somewhere..."

The Silver Dragon King took a deep breath and then spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang vaguely guessed what was going on.

Without any hesitation, the Silver Dragon King waved his hand and temporarily left the palace with Wu Liang.

After they left, the palace fell into an eerily quiet silence.

'Young Master Wu, Father King…'

Ao Miaoyin hated that she couldn't do anything, her feelings were very complicated, and her thoughts were in turmoil.

Just then, a barely perceptible sound of footsteps was heard outside.

The visitor was none other than the furtive 'Ah Lan'.

'Alan' sensed that the auras of the Silver Dragon King and Wu Liang had disappeared, leaving only Ao Miaoyin inside, and her mind immediately stirred.

She cautiously tried to approach the princess's boudoir.

However, given how much the Silver Dragon King valued Ao Miaoyin, how could he not have devised some measures to prevent those with ulterior motives and malicious intentions?

As soon as 'Ah Lan' approached, her expression changed instantly as she sensed the two soul auras hidden within the boudoir.

The source of this spiritual aura was the two fourth-tier mushroom beasts, the Silver Dragon Fish and the Golden Dragon Fish.

'Tsk... cautious indeed.'

'Ah Lan' stopped and sneered.

She wasn't in a hurry; there would be plenty of opportunities anyway.

Once she and 'Ah Hong' have gathered the required Soul Path Mushrooms and set up the Soul Path Mushroom Array, they will naturally be able to achieve their wish.

So 'Alan' merely probed for a moment, and seeing that he hadn't found a suitable opportunity, he quietly left.

However, what 'Alan' didn't know was...

Her every move was actually being watched by someone hiding in the shadows.

A golden centipede suddenly flashed silently through the darkness.

Clearly, this is Wu Liang's three-turn serrated golden centipede.

It possesses the effects of Blood-Hiding Mushroom, False Mushroom, and Appearance Mushroom, just like the blood-sucking mosquitoes of the past, so it has no scent that can be detected by others.

Of course, if that were all there was to it, it wouldn't have been difficult for 'Alan' to find the serrated golden centipede.

After all, no matter how ingenious Wu Liang's concealment methods were, he couldn't hide the aura of his soul.

Coincidentally, the serrated golden centipede is not a living creature, but a mushroom that just looks like a centipede.

Therefore, 'Alan' did not realize that he had been targeted by Wu Liang's sawtooth centipede.

The reason Wu Liang sent out the Sawtooth Golden Centipede was to monitor 'A Lan' and 'A Hong'.

He had previously said that he was going to secretly take down the two dragon maids who were extremely hostile to him.

Wu Liang kept his word, so after leaving the Demon Suppression Tower, he immediately released the Sawtooth Golden Centipede before going to the Silver Dragon King to explain the matter of Mushroom Fang.

At that very moment, the sawtooth centipede secretly followed 'Alan'.

Soon they met 'Ah Lan' and 'Ah Hong', and secretly met up together.

The serrated golden centipede dared not get too close, and could only observe from a distance, sharing its view with Wu Liang and gathering information. Before long, it saw 'Ah Hong and Ah Lan' slaughtering a dragonfish, collecting its soul...

……

the other side.

Wu Liang opened his eyes and found himself in a dark and damp environment.

He looked around and saw a series of very familiar iron cages.

'It really is here...'

Wu Liang seemed to understand something and instantly guessed the Silver Dragon King's plan.

At that very moment, while multitasking, he caught sight of 'Ah Hong and Ah Lan' sneaking around, extracting souls from the dragonfish, while the sawtooth golden centipede was doing so.

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang was slightly taken aback, and his doubts deepened.

What are these two dragon maids doing, secretly collecting souls?
Could it be that he's secretly enriching himself behind the Dragon Palace's back, planning to use the mushroom beast's soul to strengthen his own?
However, these two dragon maids are only at the second level of cultivation, so where would they get the ability to extract souls and refine spirits?
Wu Liang sensed that these two dragon maids might be hiding some secrets.

With a thought in mind, he wanted to command the serrated golden centipede to launch a sneak attack on 'Ah Hong and Ah Lan' and capture them.

As a third-stage mushroom, the Sawtooth Golden Centipede was activated by him, so taking down two second-stage dragon maids was naturally a piece of cake.

But right at this critical juncture...

“My dear son-in-law, this place is called the Dragon-Trapping Prison.”

"The dragon people imprisoned here are all deeply sinful and unforgivable."

“Using these dragon people as materials to refine Dragon Blood Mushrooms is at least much better than harming the lives of innocent dragon people, and neither of us will feel guilty about it.”

The Silver Dragon King's voice suddenly came from behind Wu Liang, interrupting his attempt to ambush 'Ah Hong and Ah Lan'.

Seeing this, Wu Liang had no choice but to give up for the time being.

He first had the sawtoothed centipede observe from the shadows, and then focused his attention on what was in front of him.

"I see……"

"Father-in-law, if we use the dragon people here to refine mushrooms, what will happen to Senior Golden Dragon King?"

Wu Liang turned to look at the Silver Dragon King, and asked with some concern.

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I will find a way to keep it from the Golden Dragon King."

"You can stay here and cultivate mushrooms for the time being."

"Not long ago, the Dragon Prison was ravaged by villains, resulting in the tragic death of the prison warden. To date, no Dragon person has been found to replace him."

"I can temporarily appoint you as a jailer, so that no one will be able to disturb your mushroom refining."

"You may use the dragon people on the third and second floors to refine mushrooms. As for the dragon people imprisoned on the first floor, their sins are less serious and do not warrant death."

"If there are enough mushrooms, then Mr. Wu, please spare their lives."

Seeing that the Silver Dragon King had already made proper arrangements for the mushroom refining, Wu Liang had no objection to it.

Moreover, the Silver Dragon King's actions were exactly what he wanted.

He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to explore the mysterious Dragon Locking Well, but he had been struggling to find an opportunity because he had no excuse.

Now, the Silver Dragon King has taken the initiative to place him in the Dragon-Trapping Prison, giving him the opportunity to explore the Dragon-Locking Well.

Under these circumstances, how could Wu Liang refuse?

"Father-in-law, rest assured, your son-in-law will refine the Dragon Blood Mushroom as soon as possible."

Wu Liang agreed solemnly, looking as if he was ready to go all out.

Seeing Wu Liang's appearance, the Silver Dragon King showed a hint of relief.

He seemed to have thought of something, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "By the way, before that, I'll take my son-in-law Wu to the Dragon Palace Treasury again..." (End of Chapter)
