Mushroom Man

"The Palace Master is about to return to the palace, and time is of the essence."

"After you refine the Dragon Blood Mushroom, I will do everything I can to send you and Miaoyin out of the Dragon Palace as soon as possible."

"After leaving the Dragon Palace, that girl Miaoyin will still need your protection."

"Therefore, before that, I must make you as powerful as possible."

Silver Dragon King's words clearly indicated that he already considered Wu Liang as one of his own.

To this end, she did not hesitate to violate the laws of the Dragon Palace and planned to misappropriate the resources of the Dragon Palace's treasury to strengthen her son-in-law.

Of course, the Silver Dragon King did this mainly for his daughter, not for Wu Liang.

Regardless, the Silver Dragon King was indeed the kindest and most helpful elder to Wu Liang since he came to this world.

If Wu Liang had traveled through time, he wouldn't have been in Zhaodi Town, but in the Dragon Palace.

Perhaps at this moment, he should be a kind-hearted person, just like the Silver Dragon King and Ao Miaoyin.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life...

Wu Liang suppressed his distracting thoughts, feigning an inability to contain his doubts, and spoke up.

"Father-in-law, why are we so afraid of the Palace Master?"

"So far, even if the Palace Master discovers what we've done, what can he do?"

"Why does my father-in-law believe that the Palace Master will wipe us all out once he finds out about this?"

Wu Liang's words certainly didn't mean he was completely ignorant.

He knew perfectly well why the Silver Dragon King was afraid of the Palace Master returning to the palace.

They were simply worried that the matter of the Dragon Transformation Technique would be exposed to the Palace Master, causing them to be implicated.

Wu Liang asked this question simply to use it as a pretext to extract information about the Dragon Transformation Technique from the Silver Dragon King.

In his view, he was now the son-in-law of the Silver Dragon King, truly one of his own.

Under these circumstances, there's no reason for the Silver Dragon King to keep it from him.

as predicted……

Upon hearing Wu Liang's question, the Silver Dragon King's expression instantly became extremely complicated.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed.

"This matter involves many issues and is difficult to explain in just a few words."

"And knowing this will not do you any good."

"Originally, I had planned to keep this matter completely to myself, but you are the son-in-law I have chosen, the husband of that girl Miaoyin."

"Since you insist on knowing the reason, I will naturally not hide it from you."

"But before that, you must promise me that you will never tell that girl Miaoyin about this..."

Seeing the Silver Dragon King's appearance, Wu Liang knew perfectly well that the old man was finally going to reveal his secrets to him.

Under these circumstances, he readily agreed and repeatedly assured that he would never tell Miss Miaoyin.

The Silver Dragon King's eyes were deep and he sighed before recounting a past event.

And all of this began when he met Xie Boya, the human mushroom master...

However, Wu Liang already knew this secret through Jian Shouqing, and might even remember it more clearly than the Silver Dragon King himself.

Therefore, Wu Liang had to pretend to be completely unaware and occasionally praise the friendship between the Silver Dragon King and Xie Boya.

Upon hearing that Ao Miaoyin was actually Xie Boya's daughter, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"This……"

"Father-in-law, are you saying that Miss Miaoyin was actually a human before?"

"So... the Dragon Transformation Technique is actually real?"

Wu Liang spoke in a daze, seemingly deeply shocked by what he had just heard.

The Silver Dragon King nodded, showing no surprise at Wu Liang's reaction, as the matter was indeed far too shocking. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "That's right, the Dragon Transformation Technique is indeed real."

"However, this Dragon Transformation Technique isn't as good as you think."

"It can be said that Miaoyin's current predicament is entirely due to my own infatuation with that so-called Dragon Transformation Technique, which led to this disaster and caused me lifelong regret..."

The Silver Dragon King no longer concealed the truth and immediately recounted in detail how he had met Emperor Shitian and obtained the Dragon Transformation Technique.

This matter had weighed on his mind for most of his life.

Now that he had said it all at once, a look of relief appeared on the Silver Dragon King's face.

"Indra..."

As Wu Liang listened to the secrets recounted by the Silver Dragon King, he was secretly startled.

He hadn't forgotten that name.

The name Indra appeared earlier when Shishou revealed the Dragon Palace's secrets.

If he remembered correctly, the so-called Emperor Shitian should be that ancient legendary fairy mushroom beast!

Once upon a time, the legendary ancient mushroom beast, Indra, was the guardian deity of the dragon race, with a status comparable to that of the Hidden Dragon Ancestor.

However, for some reason, he betrayed the Dragon Palace and joined Huang Ting.

Wu Liang's eyes flickered slightly as he thought of this.

He truly hadn't expected that the Dragon Transformation Technique possessed by the Silver Dragon King actually originated from Indra.

He never expected that the so-called Dragon Transformation Technique would actually turn a person into a Dragon-Man Mushroom.

Dragon Mushrooms need to eat Dragon Blood Mushrooms to survive, isn't that essentially cannibalism?

Indra gave this seriously flawed dragon transformation method to the Silver Dragon King; his intentions were utterly despicable!
At that moment, Wu Liang sensed a conspiracy.

Indra has already pledged allegiance to Huangting, and his actions are clearly in accordance with Huangting's will.

What benefit would Huang Ting gain from spreading this Dragon Transformation Method?

Or perhaps Huang Ting simply wanted to destroy the dragon people in such a vicious way?

No, that's not right...

If Huang Ting wanted to target the dragon people, he could simply have Indra go directly to the Dragon Palace and wipe them all out.

Indeed, back then, the Hidden Dragon Ancestor erased all of Emperor Shitian's memories related to the Dragon Palace.

However, given the strength of the Ancient Legendary Immortal Mushroom Beast, Emperor Shitian should not have found it difficult to find the Dragon Palace by following the Silver Dragon King.

But why...did Indra not attack the Dragon Palace?

Wu Liang was filled with thoughts and couldn't figure it out no matter what he did.

He didn't believe that Indra would be unable to find the exact location of the Dragon Palace after discovering the Silver Dragon King.

If Indra discovers the Dragon Palace, it would undoubtedly mean that Huangting has also discovered the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace may seem well hidden now, but it may have already become a plaything in Huang Ting's eyes.

Wu Liang just couldn't understand why Huang Ting didn't take action against the Dragon Palace.

Logically speaking, since the Dragon Palace had openly attacked the Yellow Court against the human race, there was no reason for the Yellow Court to let the Dragon Palace go.

unless……

'Unless Huang Ting is playing the long game, or for some other reason, he cannot touch the Dragon Palace for the time being.'

Wu Liang's mind raced, and in the blink of an eye, he had grasped the key to it.

In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of lingering fear.

Fortunately, he had already accepted the Silver Dragon King's request and was preparing to take Ao Miaoyin far away and escape.

Otherwise, if he stayed in the Dragon Palace, he might get caught up in Huang Ting's schemes and plots.

The waters of this Dragon Palace seem to be much deeper than he imagined… (End of Chapter)
