Chapter 94 Confrontation
[Warning! Your pet's loyalty is extremely low. Please increase its loyalty value as soon as possible!]
As soon as Crab Giant appeared, Lin Xuan immediately heard the notification. He glanced at Crab Giant's head, his lips twitching, barely able to contain himself.
The crab appeared very respectful, as if it considered itself the supreme master.
However, it still harbors other thoughts, and its loyalty level is only 10 points.
Although it's better than the previous zero loyalty level, it's still at a level where betrayal is always a possibility.
"This guy is impossible to tame."
"I was originally planning to nurture it properly, but now it seems unnecessary. Even if I raise its loyalty, it might drop again at any time."
"But just letting it go like this seems a bit wasteful. Perhaps we should find a way to put it to good use..."
Lin Xuan seemed lost in thought and didn't reply, which made Xie Da's heart tighten. He quickly said:
"Master, did something bad happen to you on this trip? Did the Dragon Palace of the East Sea discover your whereabouts?"
"If that's the case, let's hurry and find the mistress, then take Dragon Island and run away!"
Crab Da spoke very sincerely, as if he really was considering Lin Xuan's well-being.
Lin Xuan woke up with a start and gently waved his hand:
"Don't worry, I did have another conflict with the dragons on this trip, but I didn't suffer any losses. On the contrary, I gained a lot of benefits."
"And how could those fools possibly find me? We don't need to move."
Upon hearing this, Crab Da outwardly feigned excitement and showered Lin Xuan with praise, but inwardly he was quite disdainful.
"That dragon speaks so easily, but it's all a lie!"
"Last time, I was careless and became his accomplice, which allowed him to kill the Jinghai Dragon King so easily. This time, without my help, how could he possibly gain any advantage over the other dragons?"
"You don't really think he's that great, do you?"
[Ding! Your pet 'Crab's' loyalty has decreased. The current loyalty level is 9. Please increase it as soon as possible.]
Lin Xuan stared at the crab for a moment, feeling increasingly speechless. Too lazy to say anything more, he lowered his head and plunged into the sea.
Deep in the ocean, an island floats silently, surrounded by a luminous shield that pushes away and repels the surrounding seawater.
Although Lin Xuan, Bai Suzhen, and Xiaoqing can all live in water.
However, Bai Suzhen noticed that Lin Xuan seemed to prefer the human way of life, so she took the initiative to use magic to change the environment.
Lin Xuan had just entered Dragon Island when he heard Xiao Qing's voice.
"Sister, we're so lucky! We actually found such a spiritual vein deep in the ocean!"
"The spiritual energy here has become so abundant; it's the perfect place for us to cultivate in seclusion."
"I never imagined my brother-in-law had such abilities, able to locate spiritual veins. No wonder he dared to come to the East Sea!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan took a deep breath, sensed his surroundings, and nodded.
Xiaoqing is right, the spiritual energy on Dragon Island has indeed become much denser, almost ten times the original amount.
However, this has nothing to do with spiritual veins.
It's not like the beginning of time anymore. All the blessed lands and grotto-heavens in the world have already been divided up. Even places with slightly richer spiritual energy already have owners.
The increased concentration of spiritual energy was entirely a result of Lin Xuan's upgraded talent.
He remained calm and continued walking forward, until he reached Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen, whereupon he smiled and said:
"Little Qing, I never expected you to speak well of me behind my back. I'm so touched."
Xiaoqing's expression changed, and she was extremely embarrassed. She usually looked down on Lin Xuan in front of him.
Speaking well of Lin Xuan behind his back made her feel like she was being hypocritical.
Xiaoqing was very shy, so she lowered her head and retreated behind Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen was delighted; this was exactly the scene she had wanted to see. Smiling, she pulled Xiaoqing aside and said:
"Xiaoqing, why are you hiding? You're not saying anything bad about your husband."
She pulled Xiaoqing to her side, then asked Lin Xuan, "Husband, you look radiant. Did something good happen?"
"Could it be that some internal strife has broken out in the East China Sea, and they no longer have the mind to cause us trouble?"
Bai Suzhen trusted Lin Xuan very much, but she still didn't expect that Lin Xuan would kill and devour another dragon in just over ten days. That was the only thing she could think of.
Lin Xuan smiled and walked to Bai Suzhen's side, took her other hand, and handed her a gift from his storage bag.
Then he said:
"What you say makes sense, my lady. I think the East Sea Dragon Palace is indeed in turmoil right now."
Bai Suzhen raised her eyebrows, looking puzzled, not quite understanding what Lin Xuan meant.
However, her attention was quickly diverted, and she picked up the gift Lin Xuan had given her, putting it away with a bright smile.
Just as Lin Xuan had predicted.
The Dragon Palace of the East Sea is now tense, with swords drawn.
The main hall of the Dragon Palace was magnificent and splendid. Many simply dressed beauties served in the hall, holding celestial fruits and fine wines. Each of these items, if taken to the mortal world, would be considered a divine medicine for prolonging life.
They would be sought after by countless mortal emperors.
But in the Dragon Palace, this was just ordinary food.
But no one cared about any of that at the moment; everyone's attention was focused on the very center of the main hall.
Ao Jia stood proudly, followed by three river gods. He took a step forward with a cold smile, glanced at the princes of the East Sea, and finally looked at Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, who sat high on the dragon throne. He said in a deep voice:
"Father, you say this matter has nothing to do with Ao Bing, that he wouldn't do such a thing... You're wrong! The greatest villains appear loyal, and the greatest falsehoods appear true."
"You all say Ao Bing is the pearl of the East Sea, but in my eyes, he's a hypocrite who appears only once in ten thousand years!"
Ao Guang's face immediately darkened:
"What nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to your third brother right now!"
Not only Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, but also the other princes, including the Turtle Prime Minister, stepped forward to smooth things over and persuade Ao Jia to retract his statement.
Only Ao Bing, surprised, stepped back, his face showing disbelief, as if he had been greatly shocked, and said in a trembling voice:
"Brother, how can you say that to me? If I wanted any offerings, I would have just told you. Why would I have killed your river god? And why would I have colluded with outsiders?"
"Besides, that dragon is a wanted criminal by the Heavenly Court. I'm too busy capturing him to become his backer."
Ao Bing's words were reasonable and well-founded, which made everyone nod in agreement.
Initially, several princes did believe Ao Jia's words, but now they have all changed their minds.
A dragon as outstanding as Ao Bing would not do such a foolish thing.
Seeing the princes nod, Ao Jia became even angrier, his impotent rage turning violent, and he almost attacked Ao Bing directly.
Ao Guang's face darkened, and he suddenly waved his hand, his large hand transforming into a dragon claw, pressing Ao Jia against the wall of the Dragon Palace.
Instantly, ripples appeared on the wall, forming the Dragon Palace's protective array.
The formation was extremely powerful. Sensing the approach of the foreign object, it emitted a counterforce that was strong enough to severely injure a Golden Immortal.
Ao Guang was naturally fearless, but Ao Jia under his claws could not bear it and cried out in pain.
Seeing this, the princes who had just angrily rebuked Ao Jia turned around and pleaded for him, asking the Dragon King to retract his order.
Ao Guang waited for another dozen breaths, and seeing that Ao Jia's face was pale and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, he finally withdrew his claws, released Ao Jia, and coldly said:
"You're not allowed to speak ill of the Third Prince again, or I won't let you off easily!"
