Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

Upon hearing his daughter refer to Lin Zhu as "younger brother," Ao Guang immediately noticed something else.

It possessed the aura of pure Yang, along with boundless Qi and blood within its body; this person was actually a man.

His expression turned sour, and he gave a curt "Hmm" without being angry, then said, "I'll wait for you here."

Lin Zhu understood his meaning and nodded calmly. He then carried Ao Tingxin to her boudoir and put her down.

Then they returned to the main hall.

"Your name is Lin Zhu?" Ao Guang, sitting at the head of the table, pointed to the seat on his left. "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Dragon King."

Lin Zhu maintained a composed and confident demeanor, appearing quite poised in the presence of the Dragon King.

"Where does Young Master Lin come from?"

Lin Zhu knew that Ao Guang was asking about his origins, but he didn't answer him directly. He simply said, "I just came from Flower Fruit Mountain."

'Flower Fruit Mountain? The Realm of Laws? Human Race?'

He immediately misunderstood, looked down at Lin Zhu, and then saw the Bodhi seed bracelet on Lin Zhu's wrist.

'A Bodhi seed bracelet—it seems this person is definitely a Buddhist. And certainly a disciple valued by the Daoist Master Zhunti.'

He immediately became much more polite, "May I ask how you, Immortal, came to know my Tingxin?"

"I dare not accept the title of Immortal, please take it back, Dragon King." Lin Zhu returned the greeting first, and then continued to explain: "Not long ago, when I was undergoing the Tribulation of the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal, I happened to meet Sister Tingxin. At that time, Erlang Shen, Nezha, and the Third Holy Mother were also there."

Lin Zhu's answer was simple, but Ao Guang found it complex.

Surprisingly, Yang Jian and Nezha didn't fight Lin Zhu!

His expression remained calm. "I see. So your visit to my Dragon Palace wasn't about the Sea-Stabilizing Needle?"

"Huh?" Lin Zhu was taken aback. "Of course not. It's just that I was invited by Sister Tingxin more than a hundred years ago, so I came here to keep the invitation."

Ao Guang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "I thought something had happened again, which is why the immortal has come to visit."

Lin Zhu followed Ao Guang's gaze and saw the Bodhi seed bracelet on her wrist. She immediately understood that Ao Guang had misunderstood.

"Dragon King, please rest assured, although I came from Flower Fruit Mountain, I will not participate in that matter."

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang asked in surprise, "Young Master Lin is highly regarded by the Dao Master, how could he not participate in this matter?"

"The Empress didn't give any instructions!" Lin Zhu shook his head. He didn't want Ao Guang to misunderstand that he was a Buddhist.

Ao Guang was taken aback. "Your Majesty? Not Lord Zhunti?"

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Dragon King, you misunderstand. This bracelet was obtained by the Queen for this junior, not bestowed by Daoist Zhunti."

Ao Guang swallowed hard. Coming from Flower Fruit Mountain, and being so generous, there couldn't be anyone but that lady.

I originally thought he was a disciple or grand-disciple of Zhunti, but I didn't expect him to have an even more impressive background.

He pointed upwards, "Is it that lady?"

Lin Zhu nodded and hummed in agreement.

Then another misunderstanding arose.

If he were a disciple of Zhunti, Ao Guang would be polite, but that would be all.

But Nuwa's disciple was different. His expression instantly became warm, with a hint of flattery. "Young master, you should have said so earlier. It would have been easier for me to entertain you. It was Tingxin who was rude and drunk, and neglected you."

"Dragon King, you are too kind. Sister Tingxin was just in a good mood and had a bit too much to drink. She was not being rude or negligent."

Lin Zhu explained to Ao Tingxin to avoid being scolded by Ao Guang later.

"You're right, sir," Ao Guang said with a smile. Then he added, "Tingxin's place is rather small. Would you do me the honor of visiting my palace, sir?"

Since the Dragon King was so polite, Lin Zhu couldn't refuse. "Then I'll trouble the Dragon King."

"I wouldn't dare!" Ao Guang had already moved away from his seat earlier, and gestured, "Please, young master!"

Lin Zhu stood up, and the two walked side by side.

Ao Guang was 2.26 meters tall, while Lin Zhu only reached his shoulder.

However, their auras were quite similar.

The main reason was that Ao Guang himself suppressed his aura.

After all, height can't be suppressed, so one can only soften one's aura and reduce the domineering presence of the past.

At the palace gates, the dragon whale watched Lin Zhu and Ao Guang walk out together, and couldn't help but mutter to itself, 'Could it be that our East Sea Dragon Palace is about to have another dragon consort?'

Even they could see that Ao Guang was subtly trying to curry favor with Lin Zhu.

Unfortunately, it wasn't clear that the flattery was directed at someone in a superior position.

Fortunately, although they were a bit foolish, they didn't say it to his face. Otherwise, even if Lin Zhu didn't care, Ao Guang would have crushed them to dust.

The East Sea Dragon Palace covers an area of ​​108,000 li and is located at the very center of the Ten Thousand Dragons Array.

Above the Dragon Palace is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Yuan Shui Pearl, which serves as the core array eye of the Ten Thousand Dragons Array.

Lin Zhu spotted the bead at a glance, thinking that the Dragon Palace truly lived up to its reputation as a prestigious family, even possessing a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

'I have three!'

That's what he thought.

Outside the palace gates, Prime Minister Turtle was already waiting.

He knew things weren't simple when Ao Guang and Lin Zhu came out of Ao Tingxin's palace together.

Judging from His Majesty's attitude, Lin Zhu must be someone of considerable importance.

He glanced at Lin Zhu carefully, instantly copying his image into his mind, and then noticed the Bodhi bracelet at a glance.

'So he's a highly accomplished disciple of Buddhism, personally instructed by the Daoist master. No wonder His Majesty is so courteous; we mustn't be negligent.'

"This old tortoise greets Your Majesty and the Immortal!"

Chapter 783 Ao Jia

Fearing that Lin Zhu might not recognize the Turtle Prime Minister, Ao Guang introduced him, saying, "Immortal, this is the Turtle Prime Minister of my East Sea Dragon Palace."

Lin Zhu returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "Lin Zhu greets Prime Minister Gui."

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!"

Gui Cheng hurriedly dodged, not daring to accept such a salute. Although he was at the second level of the Law Realm, who was the other party? He had powerful connections!

With this relationship in place, strength is no longer the absolute factor determining status.

Afterwards, Ao Guang ordered a banquet to be held to entertain Lin Zhu.

Following Ao Guang's telepathic instructions, the Dragon Queen went to Ao Tingxin's palace to prepare to awaken her fourth daughter.

After eating and drinking, Lin Zhu toured the entire East Sea Dragon Palace under Ao Guang's guidance.

That's simply outrageous, utterly extravagant. If the materials used to build the Dragon Palace were used for crafting magical artifacts, who knows how many innate spiritual treasures could have been created.

Compared to the land, the underwater world is just as beautiful, except that there is less innate spiritual energy, and most of it is water-attribute innate spiritual energy, making it relatively monotonous.

They went to the deep sea abyss, where Lin Zhu saw the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, a huge stone pillar covered with seaweed and encased in seabed rocks, with a diameter of several hundred feet.

It will be about two hundred years before Sun Wukong takes it away.

Thanks to the blessing of the Ten Thousand Dragons Formation, Lin Zhu and his group didn't spend much time exploring the vast Dragon Palace.

Aside from being somewhat interested in the magic needle that stabilizes the sea, Lin Zhu was most curious about marine life.

Dragon whales and giant claws several kilometers in size, the underwater warrior race Janna, and the electric dragon eel wrapped in purple lightning...

Ao Guang introduced, "This eel has a smooth and elastic texture, and it is His Majesty the Jade Emperor's favorite. Would you like to take a few with you, Immortal?"

"Then thank you very much, Dragon King." Lin Zhu did not refuse. She figured that Abe would ascend to heaven soon, and the ingredients in the Dragon Palace were all top-quality, so she could cook for her then.

Abe is a determined culinary artist. If he were to reach the Pangu Realm, his cultivation speed would be no less than Wu Xingyun's, and might even surpass it, making him comparable to A Qing.

Ao Guang was also delighted. With a wave of his hand, the hundreds-of-meters-long electric dragon eel instantly shrank to the size of a little finger and was put into a fish tank.

It also included some precious fish, shrimp, crabs, abalone, clams...

The fish tank is a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, with an internal space of a thousand miles, enough for these dozens of electric dragon eels to live in.

It forms its own ecosystem.

"Please accept this, Immortal." Ao Guang presented it with both hands, and Lin Zhu accepted it with both hands as well.

In response, Ao Guang felt that Lin Zhu was indeed worthy of being from Nuwa Palace, as her etiquette was impeccable, truly befitting a disciple of Nuwa.

Look at those Buddhist disciples, every time they come to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, they are arrogant and haughty.

There's nothing we can do. The East Sea Dragon Palace is just a branch of the Azure Dragon clan. Although it is nominally the head of the four sea dragon palaces, the Azure Dragon clan itself won't interfere unless it is completely wiped out.

Therefore, the Buddhist community's attitude is not so good.

After all, the Buddhist community is a mixed bag, and it harbors a great deal of filth.

For example, the Buddha of Joy, formerly known as the Long-Eared Immortal, harmed women's chastity everywhere, regardless of their race.

After causing harm, he would convert them into celestial consorts in Buddhism, to be worshipped by him for all eternity.

Unfortunately, he is now a master of the Hunyuan Realm. Although he cannot defeat other Hunyuan Realm experts, he can still escape if he wants to.

Furthermore, because of his great strength and the many demons and ferocious beasts he has killed, he has accumulated a lot of merit to protect him. However, due to the fear of harming him, even those of the same cultivation level do not dare to attack him.

As for Dao Lords, such as Wangshu, Xihe, and west Wangmu, under certain conditions, they cannot casually attack those below the Dao Lord realm.

Zhunti and Jieyin implicitly vouched for it.

Nuwa and Houtu were the drafters of the treaty, and it was even less likely that they would lead the way in breaking it.

Everything in the world, as long as it is within the Dao, has both advantages and disadvantages; nothing can be entirely good.

After exploring most of the Dragon Palace, the group returned to the main Dragon Palace.

Besides Ao Guang, the Turtle Prime Minister and the Merman Commander were also present.

Lin Zhu and Ao Guang each rode in a dragon chariot, and with the blessing of the Ten Thousand Dragons Formation, they moved at great speed.

In the main hall of the Dragon Palace, Ao Tingxin and the Dragon Queen had prepared a banquet, along with a host of dragon sons and grandsons.
