Chapter 101 The Principles of Being a Dragon
Lin Xuan remained calm and composed, his vertical pupils showing remarkable composure.
"Nezha, why would you ask that? I just wanted to come and see what the excitement was like."
"You don't know this, but I actually have some conflicts with the dragons. They are enemies, not friends."
"If you hadn't already fought Ao Ming, I would have already started fighting him."
Lin Xuan spoke eloquently and sincerely, but Nezha remained skeptical.
He was inexperienced in the ways of the world, but he had heard that the Jiaolong and the Dragon Clan had a close relationship and a long history.
Many dragons attach themselves to the dragon clan, willingly serving as their servants.
Especially since Lin Xuan knew Ao Ming, it was clear that their relationship was quite close.
Now Lin Xuan claims to have a grudge against the Dragon Clan, how could Nezha possibly believe him?
Nezha gripped the Qiankun Ring, staring intently at Lin Xuan, his health bar above his head showing signs of turning red again.
Even Ao Ming looked over curiously, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind Lin Xuan's words.
Lin Xuan spoke again, his tone still calm.
"It seems your information network is a bit outdated, Nezha. You haven't even heard of my name, Lin Xuan."
"Lin Xuan?" Nezha was still puzzled.
However, Ao Ming's expression suddenly changed, and he screamed in surprise, "You're Lin Xuan?"
"What are you doing here?"
Nezha turned around curiously and asked Ao Ming, "What, you know this guy?"
Ao Ming's face turned pale, and he regretted it in his heart. If he had known that he would be so unlucky today, he would never have left the Dragon Palace.
It's just a sea-patrolling yaksha! Their Dragon Palace has plenty of cattle and horses; they don't need this kind of creature at all!
Well, look what happened! He's gotten himself into trouble because of a subordinate!
Ao Ming knew that Lin Xuan was different from Nezha.
Nezha was far stronger than Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan was a madman! In a very short time, he attacked the East Sea Dragon Clan one after another, killing two dragons in succession.
They even devoured both dragons completely.
Such a brutal dragon had never appeared in countless millennia, so Ao Ming was naturally afraid.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't answer Lin Xuan's question and involuntarily stepped back.
It wasn't until they bumped into the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) that they suddenly realized what was happening and began to move forward again.
This magical artifact exudes a terrifying aura; just getting close to it brings a strong burning sensation.
Ao Ming's demeanor piqued Nezha's curiosity, and he surprisingly let Ao Ming go for the time being, asking Lin Xuan:
"Looks like you've got some skills. Come on, tell me, what exactly did you do to make that stupid dragon so afraid?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the health bar above Nezha's head changed again in Lin Xuan's vision, turning from gray to green.
He also heard a notification.
Your relationship with Nezha has improved; current relationship level: 1.
Lin Xuan felt much more relaxed. He straightened up, gently waved his claws, and a hint of reminiscence appeared in his vertical pupils:
"I didn't actually do anything special, I just studied some principles of being a dragon."
These words came out of nowhere, and Nezha couldn't understand them at all. He pressed on, "What are you talking about the principles of dragons? Are you perhaps a teacher of the dragon race?"
Lin Xuan shook his head: "I don't know how to teach, and those dragons are all blockheads. You can't reason with them."
"I just have two acquaintances in the Dragon Clan."
Lin Xuan's words became increasingly absurd, leaving Nezha dizzy and increasingly annoyed. In the end, he simply waved his hand.
"Lin Xuan, can you please explain yourself clearly? What exactly have you done?"
Lin Xuan sighed, looking like a lonely master.
"Nezha, I didn't expect you wouldn't even understand this."
"I did some research on how to make dragons taste even better."
"Even tastier?" Nezha pondered for a few breaths, finally understanding, his expression quite strange.
"So you've eaten several dragons before? No wonder that stupid dragon was so afraid of you."
However, soon enough, Nezha's mouth was also watering.
He had never thought that dragons could be eaten, but now Lin Xuan had whetted his appetite. He turned around and looked Ao Ming up and down.
It seemed as if he was wondering whether to steam or braise Ao Ming.
Lin Xuan suddenly spoke:
"Nezha, you're wrong. I haven't eaten many dragons. At most, I've only eaten two."
Feeling Nezha's gaze and hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ao Ming was filled with unbearable fear, on the verge of tears. The Dragon God curled up and cried out:
"You...you can't kill me!"
"Lin Xuan, although you have committed a heinous crime, the Dragon King of the East Sea will forgive you as long as you sincerely apologize!"
Then, Ao Ming looked at Nezha.
"And Nezha, you...you are, after all, a citizen of Qiantang Pass. If you dare to kill me, my father will surely unleash a great flood and cause the entire Qiantang Pass to perish!"
"I can really do it! If you don't believe me, go look at Lin Xuan! Back in Hangzhou, he teamed up with a green snake to create a massive flood that nearly submerged the city!"
"Hangzhou? What kind of place is that? I've never heard of it." Nezha muttered to himself, not taking Ao Ming's warning to heart.
Ao Ming was too weak, so he thought the entire dragon race was a bunch of weaklings and didn't take them seriously at all.
In Nezha's view, even that so-called Dragon King of the East Sea was at most a large snake, which could be destroyed with a flick of his hand.
Even the Heavenly Court behind the Dragon Clan isn't that powerful.
Nezha didn't take the dragon clan seriously, and Ao Ming secretly groaned, frequently turning his head to look into the distance.
Hopefully, his father will realize something is wrong and send out his scumbags and crab generals to save him.
But Lin Xuan sensed something was wrong. He stared at Nezha for a few moments and thought to himself:
"Is Nezha's disdain for the Heavenly Court truly due to his young age and ignorance of its immensity?"
"I'm afraid that's not the case. It's his destiny to clash with the Heavenly Court in order to reshape his physical body."
"That's why fate clouded his judgment, making him unable to control himself."
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan stared at Nezha even more intently.
This time, he indeed realized something was wrong.
Nezha's eyes were unfocused, sometimes lucid and sometimes crazed, switching back and forth in a very short time, as if he were fighting against some kind of force.
"Could it be that his sudden hostility towards me was also the work of fate? It shouldn't be; before the will of heaven, I'm probably no match for it."
Lin Xuan continued to ponder, and an idea gradually formed in his mind.
He originally only wanted to use Nezha to kill Ao Bing, and then take the opportunity to devour Ao Bing.
Ao Bing is the third prince of the East Sea Dragon King, and his bloodline is extremely powerful.
Having devoured Ao Bing, it is at least equivalent to three to five ordinary dragons.
It might even seize Ao Bing's special bloodline.
Even after Lin Xuan completes the mission and evolves into the Overturning Sea Demon Dragon, he still has the potential to continue evolving into an even more powerful dragon.
However, Lin Xuan has now slightly changed his mind.
Ao Bing still wants to kill, but it's not just about killing Ao Bing.
He also planned to help Nezha so that he would stop being a puppet of fate.
In this way, he will not only have a powerful helper, but also understand the mechanism of fate.
Lin Xuan suddenly spoke, saying to Nezha:
"Nezha, if you don't want to lay a hand on Ao Ming, then step aside. I can't hold back any longer."
"Although this dragon is stupid, I've heard that dragons with bad brains have firm and delicious flesh."
Upon hearing this, Nezha drooled and muttered to himself:
"Firm and delicious? Hehe, not bad! I've never had dragon meat before!"
"Once I kill this stupid dragon, I can probably get tens of thousands of kilograms of meat. How long will that last?"
"My old geezer will definitely be envious and want a piece of the pie! Humph, I'll make him beg me for a pound of meat!"
Nezha became happier the more he thought about it, and stuck out his tongue to lick his lips.
Ao Ming shuddered at the sight and was about to say something.
But Nezha didn't give him a chance. With a wave of her hand, the Hun Tian Ling suddenly contracted and tightly wrapped around Ao Ming's body.
"No!"
Ao Ming let out a huge roar, not only begging for mercy, but also trying to alert the Dragon Palace not far away.
Unfortunately, Nezha's strength was too great, and the Hun Tian Ling was also an innate spiritual treasure.
In Lin Xuan's line of sight, a huge red symbol emerged from above Ao Ming's head.
【-twenty four】
In an instant, Ao Ming's health bar dropped to zero, his eyes lost all their light, and his body ceased to resist.
Sold out instantly!
Lin Xuan felt a little uncomfortable seeing this. Nezha was indeed terrifyingly strong. He dealt tens of millions of damage in one move, and with the critical hit, he directly deducted 20 million of Ao Ming's health.
If this move had hit Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan would have owed Nezha several more lives.
A moment later, Nezha put away the Hun Tian Ling (a magical sash), and found that his magic weapon was stained with a lot of dragon blood, and his face showed disgust.
What ordinary cultivators treasure as dragon blood is nothing but filth in Nezha's eyes.
He picked up a piece of the Hun Tian Ling (a type of sash) and stirred it in the seawater once more, using the seawater to wash away the dragon's blood.
Ao Ming's body swayed in the seawater, drifting with the current.
Occasionally, scales would detach from the corpse, but instead of being washed away, they would remain around the body.
The scene was bizarre and terrifying.
All the creatures in the sea were terrified by this sight, trembling with fear. They dared not look, nor dared to flee, and one by one they burrowed into the seabed.
The commotion caused by Nezha this time was indeed huge, with waves in the sea spreading far and wide.
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and guessed that Ao Ming's father must have already noticed something was wrong and might be bringing his troops over soon.
With Nezha behind him, he was naturally not afraid of the Dragon King, but after glancing at Ao Ming's corpse, he still spoke:
"Nezha, what are you going to do with Ao Ming?"
While stirring the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), Nezha casually remarked:
"What do you mean, what to do with it? This stupid dragon has plenty of meat on it; you can eat it however you want."
"At worst, we can braise a thousand catties, steam a thousand catties, or stir-fry a thousand catties. We'll always find a delicious way to cook it."
Lin Xuan immediately shook his head and said in a serious tone:
"Nezha, you're mistaken! Eating dragon meat like that would be a terrible waste!"
"If you want to eat dragon meat, you have to taste its original flavor!"
Nezha didn't understand. He put away the Universe Ring and examined the area for a while, making sure the dragon blood was cleaned up, before asking again, "What does 'original flavor' mean?"
Lin Xuan stepped forward, came to Ao Ming's corpse, grasped it with his claws, and said sincerely:
"This matter cannot be explained in a few words. Let me demonstrate it for you and let me take a bite."
"Just one bite?" Nezha asked, slightly wary.
Lin Xuan nodded sincerely: "That's right, just one bite."
