Achieving the Dao from the Hundred Schools of Thought

"Keep laughing, why did you stop?"

Zhuang Weiyang asked a question in confusion, Qingpi was trembling with fear, while the "Dragon Girl" next to him pretended to be calm and raised her eyebrows to scold him.

"Humans! How dare you be so utterly shameless..."

"Snapped!"

Zhuang Weiyang slapped her, interrupting the "Dragon Girl's" pretense, and then shook her slightly numb right hand.

"You really dare to say that?!"

"Waaaah, how do you fish?!"

With a slap, the "Dragon Girl's" majesty was shattered, and she covered her face and sobbed.

The dragon girl's beautiful face, coupled with her crying posture, actually possesses a certain charm.

Zhuang Weiyang stretched out her hand and said calmly, "Give it to me."

"Waaaaah~"

Upon hearing this, the "Dragon Girl" sniffled and stopped her grief.

Looking at Zhuang Weiyang's outstretched hand, he was momentarily puzzled, then his eyes lit up, and he feigned realization, taking two steps forward...

He placed his face on Zhuang Weiyang's hand.

Zhuang Weiyang: "..."

Snapped!

"What do you want? Just tell me!"

The dragon girl was slapped and thrown to the shore. This time she seemed stunned and even forgot to cry.

"Neither of these demons seems very bright." Zhuang Weiyang felt a headache coming on and pointed at the dragon girl...

The dragon horns on its head!

The "Dragon Girl" was stunned for a moment, while the green-skinned fish next to her rolled its eyes and kept giving her meaningful glances.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!

The dragon girl reluctantly reached out and touched the dragon horns on her head, grasping them one by one.

"Pop!"

The dragon horn was plucked off with a crisp sound, and the noble and beautiful dragon girl transformed into a ball of light, turning into a five or six-year-old girl in an instant.

The little girl, with a fawning smile, carefully stepped forward and placed the dragon horn in Zhuang Weiyang's hand. Her toothless smile was unusually comical.

"My lord, hehehe...this thing is only useful if one possesses the dragon vein, you take it..."

"Snapped!"

Another slap rang out, and Qingpi finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward in anger.

"Hmm—?" Zhuang Weiyang glanced at it sideways, but Qingpi remained unfazed and walked straight over.

"It's our honor to have you examine our belongings, sir. What nonsense are you spouting, you little fish? Hmm?"

As he spoke, the green-skinned man picked up the fish girl and placed her on his knees, continuing to lecture her.

"Second Uncle! Please stop hitting me! I was wrong! Waaah—"

Zhuang Weiyang found it amusing, and the last vestiges of killing intent in her heart dissipated. She then turned to examine the dragon horn in her hand.

The dragon's horns were crystal clear, shimmering faintly in the moonlight, and its body was emanating a gentle mist.

"It really is this thing."

This dragon horn is the ticket to the "Wait for Hardship and Perseverance" dungeon, specifically the "Walking the Dragon in the Minjiang River" event, during the later stages of the game.

"But according to the timeline, Goujian was still a slave in Gusu, and there were still ten years before the dragon appeared in the Minjiang River. Why did this thing appear so early?"

Dragon Horns – Origin unknown. They are in the player's inventory when logging in. Using them will transform the player into a humanoid dragon, allowing them to enter the water and block the dragon from escaping.

But now...

Zhuang Weiyang stirred her inner fire, attempting to uncover the secrets of the dragon horns.

The fire in his heart swept across the dragon's horns as if it were sweeping across a stone; the dragon's horns showed no reaction whatsoever.

"Hehehe... Little General, this dragon horn is the remains of a true dragon, a family heirloom of my uncle and nephew. Only those who possess the dragon vein can activate the power of the dragon horn."

After lecturing the fish girl, Qingpi mustered his courage and stepped forward to explain, afraid of displeasing Zhuang Weiyang.

The lives of the two fish are now entirely in Zhuang Weiyang's hands. If they displease Zhuang Weiyang, the two demons will likely be in grave danger!

Zhuang Weiyang was currently contemplating her past life's story and had no time to pay attention to the charlatan Eryu.

"The background story in the game wasn't explained clearly. Back then, all I knew was fighting and killing. I thought it was just a small dungeon that the developers made casually."

Now... we must be careful and investigate thoroughly!

A dragon capable of traversing the dragon's form must be at the peak of the second realm! Upon completing the dragon-walking process, one can shed their dragon body and become a true dragon!

Zhuang Weiyang's mind raced as she turned to look at Eryu, who had a forced smile on her face and was trembling with fear.

"Dragons? Besides the two of you, what other dragons are around here?"

Just as Little Fish was about to answer, Green Skin stopped him and spoke first.

"Young general, there are many dragons of our own kind nearby! There are seven or eight of our own kind of flood dragons in Taihu Lake, as well as powerful demons from the third realm..."

"Snapped!"

Zhuang Weiyang slapped Qingpi across the face again.

"You have relatives who are powerful demons of the third realm, so now it's not me hitting you, it's you hitting me! If you don't behave..."

I still have a jar of plum jam at home, perfect for spreading on grilled fish!

Upon hearing this, Qingpi covered his face and trembled uncontrollably, while the fish woman beside him mustered her courage and spoke up.

"Sir, these dragon horns are a family heirloom passed down from our ancestors. This is the first time my second uncle and I have lied to anyone, please don't hit us!"

Zhuang Weiyang nodded, and the two fish, unable to tell whether he believed it or not, immediately knelt down and cried out.

"This is truly our first time!"

"Please forgive us, considering this is our first offense!"

"Don't kill us, we're very useful!"

"..."

Zhuang Weiyang was getting a headache from the noise, so she immediately stretched out her hand to signal the two demons to shut up.

"Originally, we intended to capture these two fish and report back to the Second Young Master, but now that 'dragon hunting' is involved, they need to be kept under even closer guard!"

Zhuang Weiyang immediately ordered the two fish to shrink their bodies in order to capture the Zuili.

Green Skin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that its life was saved, it then dispersed the water vapor and transformed back into a foot-long ordinary fish.

The fish woman beside her, her features contorted, cried out incessantly:

"My lord! I have just eaten human-transported rice and transformed into human form. My transformation technique is still not proficient, so please allow me to maintain this form."

"You still claim this is your first offense?!"

"..."

Zhuang Weiyang used his wind magic to rush towards Zuili, while behind him, a little girl holding a large fish cried out in the air.

"My lord, wait! My lord!..."

When I got home, it was still dark.

He threw the green skin into the fish tank, threatened the female fish, and then closed his eyes to rest.

Two hours later, Zhuang Weiyang figured that Prince Di had woken up, so she took Eryu and headed to the young master's residence.

"Second Young Master!"

Prince Di, still half-asleep, noticed the little girl holding a fish behind Zhuang Weiyang and teased her:

"Wei Yang, instead of investigating Zhao Xiuwen, why are you bringing a fishmonger to see me so early in the morning?"

Zhuang Weiyang shook her head repeatedly.

"Second Young Master, the matter of Zhao Xiuwen has been investigated and the evidence of his unauthorized resale of transported rice is conclusive."

With that, Zhuang Weiyang kicked the girl and ordered the green-skinned man to transform into human form.

The two demons had been trembling with fear all night, afraid they wouldn't see the sun rise the next day. Now, naturally, they did whatever Zhuang Weiyang said.

After the green-skinned demon transformed into human form, the two demons knelt in a row, and Zhuang Weiyang then spoke:

"Second Young Master, Zhao Xiuwen attempted to exchange rice for mermaid tears, but I caught him red-handed! In desperation, he attacked me! Wei Yang had no choice but to retaliate, and in the process, she lost her grip..."

As she spoke, Zhuang Weiyang feigned grief.

"In a moment of carelessness, Xiuwen couldn't dodge in time... and escaped."

"Gone? Did they run away?" the second young master asked in confusion, and Zhuang Weiyang slowly shook her head.

"Yes, that one is gone! That means he has left this world."

The second young master paused, turned his head, and gave a death stare.

"Wei Yang, stop showing off your knowledge now! You're leaving?! So what if you killed him!"

"These two fish are the monsters involved, right?"

Upon hearing this, Eryu trembled all over and lowered her head even further.
