"There's no need to wake my father. The immortals on earth didn't dare touch me, fearing my father's wrath. They've already negotiated with me."
The Mantis Shrimp Commander had a pair of strong claws, and he didn't quite understand what the Dragon Girl meant... Was he going to let the Princess go on the pretext that the Dragon Palace wouldn't pursue the matter?
What about the death of the Seventh Prince?
He tentatively replied: "Xuan Yin Xingjun, the subsequent arrangements are..."
Xuanyin Xingjun took a few slow steps, turned around, and her gaze fell on the cave where the Dragon King was in seclusion. She hid the complex emotions in her heart and said:
"The immortals on earth are using a secret piece of information as a bargaining chip in exchange for my calming down. They will temporarily put off pursuing the Seventh Prince's revenge for five years. During this time, I will travel to the outside world and confirm the authenticity of this information."
"Huh?" He Li doubted his hearing and asked, "Excuse me, Lord Xuanyin, what is this information?"
Xuanyin Xingjun acted as a riddle teller while revealing a ferocious expression as he angrily said:
"I can't tell you for now, lest the information be wrong and damage the harmony within the Water Tribe. It's related to the strange deaths of my brothers and sisters! It's best not to let me get to the bottom of this matter!"
Her statement was half true and half false. To Commander He Li, it was easy to understand that some other aquatic figure was secretly plotting against the Sky Wrath Dragon Palace and targeting the Dragon King's offspring.
It would not be associated with the head of the Lord of Dragon Palace.
He Li's shrimp eyes widened and he said in disbelief:
"Could it be that among the water tribe elders present this time, there is the enemy who killed the Dragon King's son?!"
"Yes, I can't confirm the truth of the immortal cultivator's words, but it's worth my while to verify their authenticity. For the time being, you will manage the affairs of the Dragon Palace. Don't disturb my father for the time being, and don't provoke Jiang Hong. We can make long-term plans when I return in the future."
"I obey your command!" Commander Pipi Shrimp no longer had any doubts.
The Dragon Girl stabilized the commander, which was equivalent to arranging the affairs of the Dragon Palace. There was no need to worry about the Dragon King coming out in the near future. He noticed in the cave that the water transportation of the Dragon Palace had returned to normal, so he would not pay attention to the outside world for the time being.
When the Dragon King comes out of seclusion as scheduled in a few years, whether his realm breakthrough is successful or not is another matter.
A few years is enough time for a lot of changes to happen.
Not even a few years.
The Dragon Girl called her maid and ordered, "Pack up all the wine for the banquet and put it in this wine gourd."
After dealing with the matters in the Dragon Palace, Xuanyin Star Lord took the wine gourd, left Tiannu River, and flew to Xiaoyao Valley to meet Chu Wuji and others.
Taoist Jiuwu got back his beloved wine gourd. He was very happy and ran to taste the wine immediately.
After taking a bite, she frowned, clicked her tongue, and looked strange:
"The spiritual energy of the Nu River has a fishy smell. Is it made from the Houttuynia cordata? The taste of the aquatic creatures is really unique..."
She decided to generously donate the Dragon Palace wine to Xiaoyao Valley as a thank you for the meals they had provided over the past few days.
At the same time, she would keep some of it, intending to hold a banquet after returning to the Shenxiao Sect. Such a strange-tasting wine must be tasted by all the fellow Taoists in the sect!
Chu Wuji has been in Xiaoyao Valley these past few days, sparring with the sword practitioners. He also went to He Xianren and carefully observed her manners.
There is a "tiger and crane double form" posture in martial arts, and it is necessary to carefully study the true charm of the crane.
Now that the Dragon Girl is back, Chu Wuji naturally becomes concerned about the Water God.
"Can I borrow the spiritual energy of the Tiannu River to try to cultivate?"
"Yes, but try not to. Father will notice a stranger wielding the River God's abilities."
"Okay, then I'll just have to go find other water gods to trouble with from now on."
Chu Wuji didn't have too many regrets. Anyway, he had to help the White Snake and the Green Snake find a suitable river for them to transform into dragons. It wouldn't be too late to ask the Dragon Girl for help then.
At the moment, we are not prepared yet and it is difficult to deal with the Dragon King of Nujiang River.
Even if we fight to kill him regardless of casualties, the people in the basin will suffer devastating consequences.
"It's time to leave this place..."
Chu Wuji sighed with emotion and was surprised. When he thought about returning to Lihuo Capital, he actually felt a sense of relaxation as if he was about to go home.
*
It was rare for the Crane Immortal to transform into human form. She stood on the top of the mountain, her long and graceful legs standing naturally, not deliberately together, but so tightly fitted that not even a ray of light could pass through.
She watched Chu Wuji and his group leave, calculated the weather, and murmured:
"Spring is the season of birth and revival for all things. Could it be that the time of day is also changing, becoming the right time for the ancient creatures to revive?"
Chapter 250 Green Tea Sister
There are few smooth roads in the world. If you walk on the mountain road, the feeling will be even stronger, but when you fly in the sky, this sense of ease is self-evident.
Chu Wuji sat on the cloud, feeling that he was just in a daze, and in the blink of an eye he was back in the territory of Lihuo Country.
The invisible connection from the Lihuo Mountains emerged in his mind like a lingering thread. That was his "territory".
Chu Wuji came back to his senses and did not remain silent any longer. He took the initiative to start a conversation: "What are everyone's plans for the future? Is Qingying going to follow Master back to the mountain?"
"Qingying can relax for a while, as a break after the training. It's also okay to take Madam Jiang for a walk." Ning Xianzhi was very relaxed. After she finished speaking, she paid attention to Bai Sujin.
The White Snake Temple is over, and Ning Xianzhi wants to know the White Snake's subsequent plans to prevent her from running away with Wu Ji.
Bai Sujin did not hesitate, she had already made a clear plan:
"I'll stay with Wu Ji in the capital. When he wants to go out and explore the mountains and rivers, I'll go with him and take the opportunity to transform from a dragon into a dragon."
Jiuwu Taoist showed unusual enthusiasm, her smile was generous and friendly:
"I'm planning to host a banquet in a few days and treat everyone to drinks. Remember to come and support me!"
She was the only one who had tasted the gourd of Dragon Palace wine, but Chu Wuji had heard the Taoist Jiuwu's complaints at the time: this was the Hongmen Banquet...
Ning Xianzhi didn't really want to help her friend save face. If her fellow Taoists thought she was an accomplice, who would she go to for justice?
The cold and mature female fairy placed her hands on her belly and gently reminded: "Don't provoke the wrath of others."
"Impossible! Xianzhi, when you return to the sect, don't mention the matter of Tiannu River. I will then use the excuse of sharing my experience at a knowledge sharing meeting to trick the old guys into drinking!"
Seeing that the Drunken Taoist used the words "pretense" and "cheat" to describe her plan, it seems that she still knows how bad it is.
Before Ning Xianzhi was about to return to the sect, she glanced at the dragon girl. Thinking that Chu Wuji had not yet "introduced" himself to her and had been silent since leaving Xiaoyao Valley, she let her disciple Yun Qingying fly to the Lihuo Mountains.
In the mountains, Chu Wuji is equivalent to the mountain god, and that aura helps the dragon girl to re-examine him.
Appropriate display of ability can promote friendly dialogue. Otherwise, the dragon girl will always feel that she was beaten to the point of having her scales fly off by a mortal when she was besieged by many parties.
"Wuji, Qingying, let's go back first."
After saying goodbye, the two female fairies flew away first.
Chu Wuji cast his gaze towards the dragon girl, taking in her appearance again. During the previous negotiations, she had been in a state of defeat and disarray, but now she had managed to put herself back together.
Her loose hair is tied up at the back of her head. The hair color is like sea blue crystal. It looks light blue at first glance, but it becomes more transparent and crystal clear under the light. She does not wear any hair ornaments or hairpins. A pair of beautiful and noble dragon horns is an unparalleled unique headdress.
She has a handsome face and a tall and slender figure. She is "one size bigger" than an ordinary woman, but not as abrupt as a giant. Her body curves are soft and graceful, with a round and graceful beauty. Her long legs are the most eye-catching and well-proportioned. On the pearly white skin of her legs, azure dragon patterns sometimes flash.
She has a mature temperament, but this maturity is not to the level of a woman. She is more like a domineering and heroic queen. Compared with the Green Snake Aunt, she lacks the free and easy chivalrous spirit, but is more steady, shrewd and capable in taking charge of affairs.
Chu Wuzhi was looking at the dragon girl, and the dragon girl was also looking at him, with a little different look in her eyes.
"So he's the mountain god of this mountain range. Although his status isn't as high as Tian Nu Jiang, he has the courage to leave his territory and transform back into a mortal. He's still quite brave."
Although she praised him, the Dragon Girl's tone was still full of dissatisfaction and disgust towards him, and she did not hide her intention at all.
After all, the dragon scales had been cut by this mortal, and this humiliation could not be easily relieved.
This should be the pride of being a dragon, which disdains to suppress those pent-up emotions deep in its heart.
Chu Wuji savored her subtle hostility and felt a lot more relieved. He was not afraid that the Dragon Palace Princess would show indifference, but he was afraid that she would appear friendly on the surface but hide evil intentions in her heart and act secretly.
He didn't understand the etiquette of the Aquatic Dragon Palace, so he said bluntly, "I'll arrange accommodation for you for a while. Aside from cooperation matters, I don't require you to have too much contact with them. Just don't get violent and hurt anyone."
The dragon girl nodded: "I agree."
...You accepted it. Did you regard it as an application submitted to you?
Chu Wuji smiled helplessly: "In this human kingdom, few demons will show up openly and walk around. It's easy to cause panic. Can you hide your dragon horns and this water-ripple skirt?"
"I'm not a demon, but a dragon," the dragon girl emphasized, adding, "Ordinary mortals can't see my dragon horns, and I have no interest in showing my face in the human kingdom."
"alright."
Chu Wuji no longer insisted and waved to him to follow. He went back to Prince Jing'an's Mansion to rest for a while before making a long-term plan.
Xuanyin Xingjun glanced at an ancient coin on her wrist. It was tied with a red rope. This was the shackle given to her by Hexianren as the loser, but it was also an advance payment.
If she follows Chu Wuji steadily for a few years, the Yinglong spiritual essence in this ancient coin will belong to her and will be extremely valuable.
If it weren't for this ancient coin, she could have just escaped into the sea. Not to mention Chu Wuzhi and others, even the Dragon King of the Nu River would have found it difficult to find her back from the sea. There was no point in her following this kid Chu Wuzhi.
Walking out of the Lihuo Mountains and back to the entrance of the mountain path, there is a new stone tablet of the mountain god, engraved with official declaration text, indicating the legitimacy of the mountain god.
The mountain folk and woodcutters had already offered some peanuts, fruits, and candied haws, but no meat, as meat was still precious to the common people.
The little white tiger in the statue has a dignified and solemn posture, but its head is too silly, making it look like a big cat that brings wealth, which is quite funny.
When Bai Sujin passed by, she didn't recognize him at first glance, but after seeing him clearly, she smiled.
Auntie Green Snake said cheerfully, "That greedy girl is now an official. If we erect a monument to the mountain god and put out a plate of dragon meat, will she come over and eat it?"
When he heard the word "dragon meat", Xuanyin Star Lord felt a faint resentment, but did not explode.
Dragons are inherently cruel. In the past, there were ignorant sea dragons that planned to come back to provoke the Skywrath Dragon Palace. However, they ended up being devoured by the descendants of the Dragon Palace, and the dragon pill was refined into a part of their own cultivation.
It’s just that now the positions have been reversed, so there’s nothing much to say.
Chu Wuji thought about it and asked his mother and aunt to wait here first. He walked back a few steps, used the power of the mountain god, and appeared in the mountain king's cave in an instant.
"Xiaotu, come here!" he shouted at the entrance of the valley.
The little white tiger was still happy about the arrival of her two-legged brother, but when she was about to run to Chu Wuji, she stopped, raised her chin, and said proudly:
"I am a great mountain god, and it is embarrassing to be ordered around by you, but!"
"I'll send the dragon meat to the little foxes to eat." Chu Wuzhi turned around and made a gesture to leave.
"Here I come!" The little white tiger immediately ran over quickly, threw itself on his legs, gently scratched him with its fleshy claws, and looked at Chu Wuzhi eagerly.
Chu Wuzhi brought her back to the mountain god monument. The little white tiger was rubbed on the head by several women before he got the cooked braised dragon meat.
"Take it back and eat with your mother. Practice well and try to come out and play with Yao'er as soon as possible."
The little white tiger was thick-skinned. She felt that Chu Wuji should have more than just this piece of meat. When she was about to act coquettishly and ask for it, she suddenly saw a strange dragon girl. Her eyes were rather unfriendly and full of resentment.
The little girl immediately didn't dare to mention the word "dragon meat" anymore. She turned into a cute and naive girl, stretched out her arms, held the plate steadily, and disappeared in a flash.
Chu Wuji first sent the two elders back to the old house, and then went to Prince Jing'an's Mansion to settle the Dragon Girl down first.
Before setting off back to Diaolongkou, the early spring snow had not yet dispersed, and there would occasionally be light snow falling for half a day. Now it has completely entered spring, and new green leaves are sprouting from the dead branches.
When Chu Wuji returned to the palace, the little princess was squatting on the bluestone steps in the front yard, holding her pink cheek with one hand and using a small stone to write words and calculate the date with the other hand. Next to her was the cow cat and the fat orange cat fighting.
Wen Yaoer's well-behaved face was slightly pouting, showing a bit of longing and melancholy. It seemed that at such a young age she could already understand the Queen Aunt's mood.
"Yao'er, how many days have you been counting?"
When Wen Yaoer heard the man's voice, she stood up with a start. When she saw Chu Wuzhi's figure, she immediately smiled, as charming and graceful as a blooming peach in spring.
The girl happily called out "brother" and ran over. When she reached the last meter, she jumped and jumped into his arms.
"It's one month and five days, which is rounded up to two months. Brother hasn't been with Yao'er for almost the entire spring..." She hid her little face in Chu Wuzhi's neck and said softly.
Yun Qingying followed and did not return to the sect for the time being. She and Wen Yaoer were actually of the same generation, but she was a few years older.
Seeing Princess Yao'er acting like a spoiled child and acting pitiful to win Chu Wuzhi's attention, Yun Qingying suddenly felt a little annoyed by her.
This is also the case with Chu Wuzhi. Why doesn’t he correct it?
A month cannot be equated with a season!
"...Brother." Yun Qingying bit her lip lightly and called him from the side.
"Why do you call me brother like that?" Wen Yaoer was puzzled. She blinked her almond-shaped eyes, still hugging the young man's neck.
"Why do you call him brother?" Yun Qingying asked calmly. Her tone was the same as usual, but it sounded vaguely unfriendly.
Wen Yaoer ignored Yun Qingying. She looked up at Chu Wuji and asked with grievance and confusion, "Brother, is she being mean to Yaoer?"
Chu Wuji was ashamed. He had been worried that the appearance of the Dragon Girl in Prince Jing'an's Mansion might bring about some conflict, but how come these two girls didn't like each other in the first place?
He patted the heads of the two girls respectively, and then said, "Can you arrange a room for this sister first?"
