Chapter 77 Rescuing the Dragon Girl, the Empress Dowager Wants to Adopt Su Tang as Her Goddaughter
"I saw the scene of the Dragon Girl having her scales gouged out with a knife. She was in so much pain, and you must be in pain too."
Renbao said with tears welling up in his eyes.
The usually cheerful and chubby little baby was now covered in tears, which broke the hearts of the Dragon King and the Third Prince.
"Renbao, don't cry, it doesn't hurt," the Third Prince coaxed. "If you're happy, that's all that matters."
They are thick-skinned and don't actually feel pain, but they feel heartache.
But to gouge it out with a knife is truly excruciatingly painful.
The Dragon King frowned: "Renbao, who plucked out the Dragon Girl's scales?"
"Zhao Donghai, he's imprisoned Sister Longnu in the dungeon." Renbao took out a talisman and chanted incantations, which illuminated the Zhao family dungeon.
In the dark and sunless dungeon, a dragon girl with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a snake was firmly bound by chains, and many shimmering pearls were scattered on the ground.
Her body was covered in shocking scars; not a single one was unscathed.
"The Dragon Maiden of Resentment." The Third Prince's expression changed. "She is a dragon transformed from a jiao (a type of dragon), living in the deep sea of Yazhou. She was originally sincere and brought blessings to all living beings in the region."
But after becoming a tool for people to amass wealth, over time, it accumulated resentment and transformed into a vengeful dragon woman.
The Dragon King roared, "This is outrageous!"
He muttered a few words to himself.
The chains in the dungeon snapped with a cracking sound.
The Dragon Maiden looked up, her lifeless eyes devoid of any emotion. She didn't know why the chains that had bound her for months had been broken, but she dared not escape.
She lowered her head and sighed deeply.
Just then, a pure and immense power flowed into her body.
Her scars healed at an astonishing speed, and her dragon power was restored.
The Dragon Maiden looked into the distance in disbelief.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor; go and take revenge."
The dragon's roar emanating from the abyss caused the Wraith Dragon Maiden's soul to tremble violently, and her body to shake.
"Yes."
Renbao smiled as she saw that she had regained her dragon power, and looked up at the Dragon King: "Grandpa Dragon King, you're so amazing!"
The Dragon King was charmed by her adoring gaze, his heart melting: "Guards! Bring the largest, most luminous pearl from your treasure vault and present it to Little Yama!"
Renbao covered her mouth and laughed, "Grandpa Dragon King, the luminous pearls in the human world are too small. Can I sell them?"
"Sure." The Dragon King pinched her cheek; it felt soft and bouncy. His smile deepened. "It's a gift for Renbao; you can do with it as you please."
The Third Prince retorted, not to be outdone: "Renbao, do you still want your brother's dragon scales?"
"Tsk," the Dragon King glanced at him.
What a loser.
The next moment, he added, "Renbao, his dragon scales aren't old enough, they're not shiny enough. Grandpa's are the best."
Renbao still shook his head: "No! Dragon scales are on your bodies. Grandpa Wei from the human world said that you should take good care of yourselves, including your fur."
The Dragon King's eyes were brimming with tears.
Little Yama went to the human world and has really grown up.
...
The Imperial Palace.
Su Tang sat next to the Empress Dowager, close to her.
When the Empress saw her, her brows remained furrowed and never relaxed.
The Empress Dowager played cards today and won every single hand; the smile on her face never left her face.
They began to believe that Su Tang was a person of great fortune, and that keeping her by Prince Qing's side would surely boost his luck.
Consort Yang glanced at Su Tang and said sarcastically, "Why did the Empress Dowager bring this imposter along? Don't you know she impersonated the Little Celestial Master before?"
She really liked Renbao.
Naturally, he also knew about her relationship with Su Tang.
The Empress also looked at the Empress Dowager, her eyes filled with confusion.
Consort De was gentle and honest, but she came from a good family and did quite well in the harem.
She sensed their hostility towards Su Tang, and kept her head down, looking at the leaf cards without saying a word.
Su Tang was a little nervous, her small hands clenched together.
The Empress Dowager said calmly, "I like Tangtang very much and plan to adopt her as my goddaughter on an auspicious day. The Empress is pregnant and it is not appropriate for her to worry about this. Let Consort Yang handle this matter."
Consort Yang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and quickly looked at the Empress.
The two looked at each other.
There's definitely something fishy going on here.
"Empress Dowager, you know I've only just recovered from my illness and can't handle this." Consort Yang declined, her eyes showing disdain. She didn't want to do anything for Su Tang; what if Renbao misunderstood?
Who is good and who is bad.
She has eyes, after all.
The Empress Dowager stared intently at Consort Yang with her sharp eyes, clearly displeased with her attitude.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Yang Guifei's lips curled slightly, and she toyed with the leaf cards in her hand with an unyielding expression. She then pushed them aside and said, "Oh dear, I've lost too much today. I don't want to play anymore."
Zhang, the old woman beside the Empress Dowager, looked displeased. What a seductive woman, she has no manners whatsoever.
It's better for her to stay sick.
Consort De stepped in to smooth things over: "If Your Majesty doesn't mind, please let me do it."
"Alright." The Empress Dowager nodded, losing interest in playing the card game. She had only intended to test Su Tang's abilities.
She stood up and snorted coldly as she passed by Yang Guifei.
"Is the Empress Dowager senile? Recognizing that imposter as her goddaughter, wouldn't that make her a princess?" Consort Yang rolled her eyes and moved closer to the Empress, asking, "Are all old people like this, blind?"
The Empress's lips twitched, and she reminded her helplessly, "Too many people talking, trouble comes from the mouth."
Consort Yang obediently responded with an "oh".
Consort De followed behind, glancing up with a hint of envy.
Everyone thought that the Empress and Consort Yang disliked each other.
In reality, the two have a very good relationship.
Yang Guifei, with her beauty, acted ruthlessly and arrogantly, yet she was as docile as a cat in front of the Empress.
...
The more arrogant Zhao Donghai was in front of Renbao after leaving the Su residence, the more terrified he became once outside.
"Master, what are your plans now?" the servant asked.
Zhao Donghai said, "Let's go to Qingshan Temple and ask the abbot for help, see if he has any ideas."
The servant secretly rolled his eyes. He had no idea about Zhao Donghai's shady dealings before. After learning about it from Renbao, he didn't want to serve him anymore, but since the contract of indenture was with Zhao Donghai, he had no choice but to submit.
"Yes."
The carriage entered a forest.
They circled for a full half hour, only to return to the same spot.
The servant was a little nervous: "Master, it seems we've encountered a ghost wall."
Zhao Donghai, already agitated, lifted the curtain and yelled at him, "How could there possibly be such a thing as being trapped in a maze by ghosts..."
His words were abruptly cut off as he stared at the vengeful dragon woman hovering in the dark clouds, trembling with fear.
Shouldn't she be in the dungeon of his Lingnan home?
How did you end up here!
The resentful dragon maiden stared at him and let out an angry dragon roar, causing the trees in the entire forest to tremble.
The servant was so frightened that he tumbled off the carriage and knelt on the ground.
"Brother, don't be afraid. She's here to take revenge on Zhao the villain. She won't hurt you." Renbao poked his head out from the dragon's tail and jumped off her.
The servant was both excited and felt safe upon seeing her: "Little Celestial Master!"
"Little Celestial Master, save me! I'll give you all my wealth!" Zhao Longhai was so frightened that he wet himself and knelt down beside Renbao, begging for help.
Renbao held up a finger and waved it in front of him: "No way, you're bad, please accept your judgment!"
