Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 41: One Lineage Guarding

Liu Qing quickly rolled up his snake tail and caught the water-reporting token.

Perhaps it was because of the talent of tail whip that the snake's tail became more and more flexible, almost as good as a human hand.

The water token is blue in color, about the size of a child's palm, and emits sparkling water vapor. The front is engraved with a pattern of the Water Palace.

There are the words "Da Wan Lake" on it, but the back is bare and there is no word or pattern.

At this moment, the mansion master yawned, whether intentionally or unintentionally. When Xia Kexing saw it, he quickly said goodbye to the mansion master.

The Palace Master nodded and said, "Big Shrimp, this snake pond is located in the southwest of the Water Palace, right in your patrol area. The snakes are also your subordinates.

I am a lazy man, and I have some things to do later. Please remind me later."

"Master, please go and rest. Brother Liu Qing is here. I will take care of the big shrimp."

The Lord of the Mansion nodded, signaled to Madam Bang with his eyes, and went to the bedroom with her to rest.

Liu Qing bowed his head and respectfully saw the lord off, thinking to himself, it is said that turtles are sleepy, even if they become great monsters, they will not change their nature.

After the mansion master left, Xia Kexing and Liu Qing left the main hall of the Water Mansion.

When the Qingyu guards outside the gate saw the water warning token wrapped in the willow green snake tail, they could not help but envy it. If it comes to closeness, the guards outside the palace are not as good as the guards.
But compared to sending out lucrative rewards, this senior official stationed in a certain area is far superior to the personal guards in the palace.

"Brother, you've just transformed into a demon, and you've already been recognized by the Palace Master. He's been awarded the Water Token and is stationed in Chengshui Palace. How envious of us!"

Liu Qing said hurriedly, "I am very proud of you. I have been trained by the Lord of the Mansion. I will do my best to guard the water veins for you. If you brothers need a day off, you can come to my water veins. I will treat you well."

Several Qingyu guards were overjoyed and said they would beg for mercy when the time came.

Xia Kexing looked at Liu Qing with a smile and greeted him, feeling even more admiration in his heart.

Xia Kexing did not go to the side hall of the Water Palace to rest. Instead, he pulled Liu Qing out of the Water Palace and said that he would take Liu Qing to visit Dayawan Lake later.

He emerged from the water hole again and arrived at the bottom of the Big Bay Lake outside the Water Palace.

Xia Kexing produced a string of bubbles, wiped his mouth quickly, and took out a huge fish bladder from his mouth.

Then he put his mouth close and breathed in the air in the fish bladder happily.

Although river shrimps are aquatic, they may frequently come to the surface to breathe. Although shrimps are very skilled, their breathing intervals are long.
But this time, he brought Liu Qing to meet the Lord of the Mansion, and after going in and out for an hour or two, he was already feeling very suffocated.

After Xia Kexing used his fish bladder to breathe, he handed the bladder to Liu Qing, signaling Liu Qing to breathe as well.

Liu Qing took it, put his mouth close to it, and took a few breaths, trying to suppress the fishy smell that Xia Kexing had just exhaled.

In fact, Liu Qing has a mouth bag space. When he dives, there is already enough air stored inside. As long as he thinks about it, the air in the mouth bag can circulate in the body for ventilation, and it will not attract attention. It is enough for Liu Qing to stay underwater as long as he wants.

However, Liu Qing had only been friends with Xia Kexing for a short time, and out of cautious nature, he kept a secret.

This is also the reason why the water-reporting token was not immediately put into the pocket space.

After taking a breath and regaining his composure, Xia Kexing pointed at the water warning token wrapped in the willow-green snake's tail and said, "Brother, you must know that the water warning tokens issued by each of the garrisons outside this water palace are all copied from the water vein map of the water palace."

"The Water Palace Water Vein Map is a treasure of the Water Palace, a top-grade magical instrument. The Water Token was copied from the Water Vein Map and is a lower-grade magical instrument, so it naturally has some magical properties."

"Firstly, this water token can communicate with the water vein map through the transmission of messages.
Secondly, the Water Alert Token can create mist and waves, purifying the water. While not as effective as a water vein map, it can still help regulate the water veins. Thirdly, and most importantly, this Water Alert Token represents the authority of our Dawan Lake Water Palace. If you are ever attacked by other water palaces or mountain monsters on land, just say a word, and everyone in our Dawan Lake Water Palace will stand up for you!

After hearing this last piece of information, Liu Qing was quite moved. From then on, he was no longer a wild monster, but a river monster with a background and a backer.

Moreover, judging from Xia Kexing's tone, the Shuifu and its people are very united in dealing with the outside world.

Liu Qing was very glad that he was born in Dayawan Lake Water Prefecture. Such a united and outward-looking atmosphere gave him a good sense of belonging to Dayawan Lake.

"Brother and the Palace Master have been very supportive of me. I don't know how I can repay them."

Xia Kexing smiled and said, "Brother and I hit it off right away. Our personal relationship is a brotherly one, and I don't ask for anything in return. However, the Water Palace has granted you the Water Command, adding you to the garrison. While enjoying the above benefits, you naturally also have to fulfill some obligations."

"Brother, please tell me."

"First, if the Water Palace calls, I will obey without hesitation. Second, I will prosper the water veins, strengthen the water tribes, and ensure the continuity of our Dawan Lake Water Palace. Third, every year on the beginning of winter, I must offer the Water Palace a certain amount of meat, grain, and river delicacies. The specific amount will be determined by the Water Palace Eel Master and me later when I officially become the garrison commander of the Snake Pond."

Liu Qing nodded slightly, having already expected this.

How can you enjoy all the benefits of Shuifu without making any contribution? Shuifu is not a charity.

"These are my duties, and I will certainly do my best. Furthermore, without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. When I pay tribute at the beginning of winter, I will definitely remember you, and I will give you my share."

Although Xia Kexing said that it was a brotherly relationship, Liu Qing could not take it seriously and immediately expressed his feelings. Xia Kexing refused for a few times, but then agreed with a smile.

The trip to Shuifu took a lot of thought. Wasn't it just waiting for Liu Qing to say this? Fortunately, this brother I recognized was sensible and didn't burn the bridge after crossing it.

Suddenly, something clicked in his mind, and thinking of what Xia Kexing had just said, Liu Qing asked again, "Brother, you just said that I haven't officially become the garrison commander of Snake Pond yet?"

"Brother, you are foolish. Although you have the Water Notice Order, you haven't refined it yet. When you return to the Snake Pond later, you will use this order to control the water and patrol the border. You will engrave the scope of the water veins under your jurisdiction on the Water Notice Order. Only then can you become a true Snake Pond garrison."

So that’s how it is. Liu Qing nodded.

Thinking of this, Liu Qing wanted to say goodbye to Xia Kexing and prepare to return to Snake Pond to refine the Water Report Order as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Xia Kexing smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother. You finally made it to the Water Palace. Let me show you around."

"Although the Water Palace is magnificent, compared to the Snake Pond, the underwater world is mostly the same. What is there to see?"

Liu Qing was puzzled, but Xia Kexing looked mysterious. He looked at the night sky and pulled Liu Qing: "Now is the perfect time. Don't worry, brother. Come with me."

Liu Qing looked confused as he was taken by Xia Kexing towards the northwest of Dayan Lake.

On the way, he took advantage of Xia Kexing's inattention and swallowed the water-reporting order into his mouth.

The two monsters surfaced and headed northwest. After swimming for half an hour, they arrived at the northwest corner of Dayawan Lake.

Xia Kexing pointed forward, and Liu Qing looked in the direction he was looking and was immediately stunned.
