On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, I was executed and became Yang Jian's brother-in-law.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's face darkened even further.

"Hiding one's strength and biding one's time? Planning something bigger?" The Jade Emperor sneered. "This wicked dragon is indeed restless!"

"Great Celestial Venerable..." Taibai Jinxing said cautiously, "However, Su Bai wasn't talking about rebellion, he just wanted to increase the strength of the Dragon Clan..."

"Enhance the strength of the dragon race?" the Jade Emperor interrupted him. "If the dragon race becomes stronger, will the Heavenly Court still be able to control them?"

"This..." Venus was speechless.

The Jade Emperor took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and continued to look at the light screen.

However, he already harbored deep resentment towards the dragon race, especially Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea.

"You bastard Ao Shun..." the Jade Emperor sneered inwardly, "So this is what you think of my Heavenly Court?"

In the light screen

The main hall of the North Sea Dragon Palace.

Ao Shun stood respectfully beside Su Bai, awaiting Su Bai's decision.

"Uncle, you must accept the throne of the North Sea Dragon King!" Ao Shun pleaded earnestly. "With you in charge of the North Sea, the dragon race has no hope!"

Su Bai waved his hand and said calmly, "I won't become the Dragon King."

"Huh?" Ao Shun was stunned. "Uncle, why..."

"That's all from my past life," Su Bai smiled. "Besides, I was never a Dragon King in my past life; I was just a lowly dragon. Now that the Heavenly Court has bestowed upon me the title of Dragon Lord of the North Sea, I will accept it, but the throne of the Dragon King should still be yours."

Upon hearing this, Ao Shun hurriedly said, "But Uncle..."

"However..." Su Bai changed the subject, "my Overturning Sea Gang will still be preserved."

"The Overturning Sea Gang?" Ao Shun was taken aback.

"That's right." Su Bai nodded. "My brothers have followed me through thick and thin for so many years, I can't treat them unfairly. Therefore, the Overturning Sea Gang will still be under my command."

"This..." Ao Shun hesitated for a moment, then his eyes lit up. "Uncle, that's a good idea! You lead the Fuhai Gang, and I'll handle the daily affairs of Beihai. If we, uncle and nephew, work together, we'll definitely be able to govern Beihai in an orderly manner!"

Su Bai nodded in satisfaction: "A promising young man."

The gods and immortals were all somewhat surprised to see this.

"This wicked dragon... it actually refuses to become the Dragon King?" Venus exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems he has some self-awareness," Li Jing said. "The position of Dragon King carries great responsibility; if he accepts it, it will likely bring even more trouble."

"But he's keeping the Overturning Sea Gang..." Nezha frowned, "This is clearly an attempt to establish his own power in the North Sea."

The Jade Emperor's face was gloomy, but he didn't say anything.

Because Su Bai was right, the Overturning Sea Gang was his own organization, and the Heavenly Court had no right to order him to disband it.

In the light screen

A few days later, outside the Dragon Palace of the North Sea.

Ao Shun summoned all the dragons of the North Sea and announced some important news.

"Fellow clansmen, today I have an important announcement to make!" Ao Shun proclaimed loudly, "My ancestor, Uncle Su Bai, the reincarnation of Yinglong, has now been appointed by the Heavenly Court as the Dragon Lord of the North Sea!"

"Furthermore, Uncle has decided to re-establish the Overturning Sea Gang and lead the aquatic creatures of the North Sea!"

"Any member of the Overturning Sea Gang who wishes to join may voluntarily register!"

These words caused an uproar among the North Sea Dragon Clan!

"The reincarnation of Yinglong?"

"So the Dragon King of the North Sea was our ancestor?!"

"My God! No wonder he possesses such terrifying strength!"

The dragons discussed amongst themselves, their eyes filled with excitement.

The dragon race has an almost fanatical worship of Yinglong.

Because Yinglong was not only the ancestor of the dragon race, but also a great contributor to the dragon race's return to heaven and the prosperity of the human race!

It can be said that without Yinglong, there would be no Four Seas Dragon Clan as we know it today!

"I'm willing to join the Overturning Seas Gang!"

"I'd like to too!"

"Following our ancestors, our dragon race will surely regain its former glory!"

In an instant, the dragons of the North Sea responded one after another, vying to join the Overturning Sea Gang!

Su Bai's reputation among the dragons was unparalleled for a time!

In just a few days, the size of the Overturning Sea Gang increased several times, making it the largest force in Beihai!

The gods and immortals had mixed feelings upon seeing this scene.

"This wicked dragon... its influence among the dragon race is actually so great?" Taibai Jinxing exclaimed.

"The name Yinglong is like a totem among the dragon race," Ao Shun sighed. "If it weren't for the Heavenly Court's suppression, the dragon races of the four seas would probably all submit to him."

The Jade Emperor's face darkened further.

The greater the influence of this evil dragon in the North Sea, the greater the threat it poses to the Heavenly Court!

In the light screen

After the Overturning Sea Gang was rebuilt, Su Bai did not make any major moves.

His daily life was shockingly simple.

I got up in the morning and went for a walk around Beihai Park to see if any demons were causing trouble.

I came back at noon, drank and ate meat with the brothers of the Fuhai Gang, chatted and boasted.

In the afternoon, I would lie on the throne in the Dragon Palace, cultivate for a while, or take a nap.

night...

The evenings are even more relaxing.

Sometimes Yang Chan would come to keep him company, and the two of them would watch the moon and whisper sweet nothings on the icebergs of Beihai Park.

Sometimes Yunxiao would come to keep him company, telling him stories of the Jie Sect, and the two would play the zither and chess together.

Sometimes Qiongxiao would accompany him, taking him to travel to various places in the prehistoric world to see the mountains and rivers.

Sometimes Bixiao would come to keep him company, cook him delicious food, and the two of them would enjoy the meal together.

The three immortals, Sanxiao and Yang Chan, took turns accompanying Su Bai, and they lived a very carefree life.

In the scene, Su Bai lies on the throne in the Dragon Palace, with Yang Chan on his left and Yunxiao on his right. Qiongxiao and Bixiao are peeling immortal fruits for him.

"Uncle, you're living such a comfortable life!" Ao Shun said enviously from the side.

"Haha, not bad, not bad." Su Bai couldn't stop laughing.

In the Lingxiao Palace (Reality)

All the gods and immortals fell silent upon witnessing this scene.

Then...

"I'm jealous." Nezha spoke for everyone.

"This...this life..." Taiyi Zhenren swallowed hard, "Even immortals don't live this carefree!"

"Surrounded by beauties, with a group of lackeys serving him..." Li Jing's eyes reddened with envy. "This is the life of an immortal!"

"Damn it!" a heavenly general exclaimed angrily, "Why can he be so carefree? We gods are busy to death every day!"

"Yes!" another celestial official complained, "I've been an official in Heaven for three thousand years, and I've never even had a vacation!"

"Sending clouds and rain, inspecting the three realms, handling official duties..." another deity sighed, "When do we ever have such a leisurely time?"

The gods and immortals all chimed in with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Those of us who are considered gods are mostly idle!

Only those of high seniority in the Chan Sect, such as the Antarctic Immortal and Guang Chengzi, or powerful wandering immortals, such as the Barefoot Immortal and Zhen Yuanzi, could live such a carefree life.

Most of the other gods are extremely busy!

Those who hold positions in the Heavenly Court, in particular, have endless work to do every day!

"Su Bai's birthday..." a heavenly general said sourly, "Who wouldn't be jealous!"

"Exactly!" another celestial official chimed in. "He's just the Dragon King of the North Sea, yet he lives a more carefree life than us, the righteous gods of Heaven!"

Just then, Venus's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Venus slapped his thigh excitedly, "That's the effect!"

All the immortals and gods were stunned and looked at Venus.

"Taibai, what did you say?" Li Jing asked, puzzled.

Venus stroked his beard and said with a smile, "When I first tried to recruit that mischievous monkey Sun Wukong, that was exactly what I was after!"

"Huh?" The gods and immortals were even more bewildered.

Venus explained, "Think about it, everyone. That mischievous monkey has gathered a horde of demons on Flower Fruit Mountain, and his power is growing stronger, posing a threat to the Heavenly Court."

"Instead of letting him cause trouble outside, we should recruit him into the government, give him a sinecure, and let him live a carefree life."

"That way, he won't cause any more trouble, and the Heavenly Court will be able to relax."

"That's exactly what I meant when I gave that rascal the position of弼马温 (Bima Wen, a lowly official in charge of keeping the stables)!"

"It's a pity..." Venus sighed, "That mischievous monkey was too arrogant, thinking that the position of弼马温 (Bima Wen, the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses) was too lowly, which is why he rebelled against the Heavenly Court."

"But this evil dragon is different!" Venus looked at Su Bai on the light screen. "He's taken the position of Dragon King of the North Sea and is living a carefree life, so he won't cause any more trouble!"

"This is the true way to be granted amnesty!"

The gods and immortals listened and nodded thoughtfully.

"Li Bai is right," Li Jing sighed. "As long as we give them enough benefits and let them live a good life, they naturally won't rebel."

"But that mischievous monkey..." Nezha pursed his lips, "He's an exception."

"Yes," Taibai Jinxing shook his head, "That impudent monkey is too arrogant and doesn't know how to be content. If he had just stayed content as the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, I guarantee he would have lived a more carefree life than Su Bai!"

"What a pity, what a pity..."

All the immortals and gods sighed, feeling sorry for Sun Wukong's ungratefulness.

The Jade Emperor's expression softened slightly after hearing Taibai Jinxing's words.

"Taibai is right," the Jade Emperor nodded. "Although this wicked dragon has established power in the North Sea, as long as he doesn't cause trouble or disrupt the Journey to the West, I can turn a blind eye."

"After all..." the Jade Emperor looked at the light screen, "it's better to let him live a carefree life than to let him go out and cause trouble."

All the immortals and gods nodded in agreement.

Venus stroked his beard and smiled smugly.

He recruited the monkeys with this very goal in mind!

Unfortunately, that mischievous monkey didn't know how to appreciate it.

However, it seems that this trick is quite effective against Su Bai!
