Obtaining the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage

The Old Dragon King's whiskers twitched. He subconsciously glanced at the wine on Bai Jin's table. How much did he drink? He's already drunk?! He quickly got up and advised, "Young friend, it's not necessary! It's not worth going that far."

Bai Jin pointed to his own nose, his face flushed and neck red, saying, "Ao Guang and I are friends who have been through thick and thin together. He's my brother, and all of you in the Dragon Race are my brothers. If you are insulted, then I, Bai Jin, am insulted.

Your Majesty the Dragon King, there's no need to say more. I will go and fight them to the death right now. I absolutely will not let our Dragon Race's treasure fall into the hands of the Demon Race."

He turned to leave.

The Old Dragon King quickly floated down from his throne, grabbed Bai Jin's arm, and said emotionally, "I've felt your friendship, young friend. From now on, you are family to us in the Dragon Race, one of our own. But it's not worth risking your life for a mere Nine Dragon Carriage."

Bai Jin immediately turned and hugged the Old Dragon King, saying excitedly, "Family! The Nine Dragon Carriage is our Dragon Race's treasure!"

The Old Dragon King patted Bai Jin's back, also moved, saying, "Family! The Nine Dragon Carriage is really not a treasure! It's not worth risking your life for!"

Bai Jin suddenly pushed the Old Dragon King away, frowning, "It's not a treasure?"

The Old Dragon King nodded and said sincerely, "No, the Nine Dragon Carriage is actually just a symbolic carriage. It has no other function."

"So, that means we can give it to the Demon Race?"

The Old Dragon King immediately shook his head, "Absolutely not. The symbolic meaning of the Nine Dragon Carriage is the Dragon Race's submission. If the Demon Emperor obtains the Nine Dragon Carriage, he can use this symbolism to force the Dragon Race, and we will be in a very passive position."

"But aren't the Demon Race already forcing you now?"

The Old Dragon King smiled proudly, "Now they are using brute force. They have no legitimate reason. With the Azure Dragon Saint Venerable here, they dare not go too far. But if the Nine Dragon Carriage falls into the hands of the Demon Race, the Demon Emperor will have this legitimacy and can unscrupulously pressure our Dragon Race."

"The Nine Dragon Carriage is still very important!!"

The Old Dragon King said, "It's important in a way, and not important in another. But it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the Demon Race."

Bai Jin thought for a moment, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. He looked at the Old Dragon King sincerely and said, "Family, do you trust me?"

The Old Dragon King nodded, moved, "You are our family, our friend. Of course, I trust you."

Bai Jin hugged the Old Dragon King, saying emotionally, "Family! For our Dragon Race, leave the Nine Dragon Carriage to me! I will take it to a safe place where the Demon Race can never find it."

The Old Dragon King said emotionally, "Wuwu~ If the Demon Race finds out, you will be in great danger."

"So what? For the safety of our Dragon Race, I would not hesitate to die."

"You've truly moved this old dragon. I don't know how to repay your great kindness, little brother!"

"For my safety, and to better protect the Nine Dragon Carriage, could Your Majesty the Dragon King lend me a few Innate Spiritual Treasures first?!"

The Old Dragon King pushed Bai Jin away, coughed, and said as if nothing had happened, "Let's go! I'll take you to get the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage." The two walked together towards the depths of the Dragon Palace.

The Kui Ox quickly followed, its mind a mess, its eyes filled with confusion. How did Senior Brother become family with the Dragon Race? Didn't they say all dragons were bad dragons?

In the main hall of the Dragon Palace, Ao Guang was left alone, bewildered. What is going on? I feel like I can't keep up with them. How did that villain who stole my Innate Spiritual Treasure become family? And why are they giving him the Nine Dragon Carriage now!

Nine Dragon Carriage? Ao Guang's eyes widened suddenly. He quickly got up and ran out. Father isn't being fooled, is he?! That hateful little thief.

The door of a treasure vault creaked open, and auspicious energy surged out. Bai Jin and the Old Dragon King walked into the vault, bathed in the auspicious glow.

Inside the vault sat a magnificent carriage. It shimmered with golden light and was surrounded by auspicious clouds. The carriage was adorned with various dragon patterns, its four wheels shaped like lotus flowers. In front of the carriage lay nine bronze divine dragons, exuding an imposing aura.

The Old Dragon King sighed, "This is the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage."

Bai Jin asked curiously, "They're bronze dragons? I thought they were real dragons!"

The Old Dragon King explained, "These nine divine dragons are forged from Sky River Gold. They contain the dragon souls of nine ancient divine dragons. Without the recognition of these nine dragon souls, one cannot control the Nine Dragon Carriage."

Bai Jin marveled, "As expected of the Ancestral Dragon's carriage, it's truly magnificent."

The Old Dragon King said, "According to the Azure Dragon Saint Venerable, the Dragon-Han Calamity began immediately after the Nine Dragon Carriage was refined. In fact, the Ancestral Dragon never even got to ride it once."

Bai Jin happily exclaimed, "It's factory-new! That's even better." If I give my Martial Uncle a used item, he might really make a fuss.

The Old Dragon King turned to look at Bai Jin, asking in confusion, "What did you say?"

Bai Jin quickly replied, "I mean, I really wish I could have seen the Ancestral Dragon ride the Nine Dragon Carriage. It must have been spectacular and imposing."

The Old Dragon King sighed, "You won't be able to." He then turned and looked at Bai Jin seriously, "The Nine Dragon Carriage is entrusted to you for protection. The fate of our Dragon Race now rests in your hands."

Bai Jin also said sternly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured! Even if I die, I will not let the Nine Dragon Carriage suffer the slightest damage, nor will I let my family be threatened by the Demon Race."

The Old Dragon King said emotionally, "Good brother! You must protect yourself. Leave quietly with the Nine Dragon Carriage. Be sure not to be discovered by the Demon Race."

"Okay!" Bai Jin stepped forward and placed his hand on the Nine Dragon Carriage. The carriage instantly disappeared.

Then, Bai Jin and the Old Dragon King shared another tearful farewell. Bai Jin turned and left, one step at a time, tears streaming down his face. Anyone who didn't know would think they were brothers parting ways with heavy hearts!

Ao Guang ran in from outside. Seeing the empty treasure vault, he said in disbelief, "Old man, you really gave him the Nine Dragon Carriage? That's our Dragon Race's heirloom treasure!"

The Old Dragon King nodded and said leisurely, "I gave it to him. Our Dragon Race no longer needs the Nine Dragon Carriage. We shouldn't dwell on past glories."

Ao Guang muttered, "It's over! Old man, you've really been fooled." He looked at the Old Dragon King suspiciously and said, "I just don't understand how you two became such good brothers! You actually believed his story? And you really gave him the Nine Dragon Carriage! Believe it or not, as soon as he gets ashore, he'll dismantle the Nine Dragon Carriage and refine it into a magic weapon."

The Old Dragon King said, "Since the Nine Dragon Carriage brings disaster when it's in our possession, we should give it away. Moreover, giving it to this young friend was also the intention of the Azure Dragon Saint Venerable."

Ao Guang's eyes widened in disbelief, "Azure Dragon Saint Venerable?" He quickly asked, "Then what happens next time the Demon Race comes?"

The Old Dragon King revealed a sly smile, "I'll send a message to the Demon Race later, saying that our Nine Dragon Carriage was stolen by a little thief riding an ox."

Ao Guang scratched his head, annoyed, "What exactly are you guys up to! First, you give the Nine Dragon Carriage to Bai Jin, and now you're going to tell the Demon Race that Bai Jin stole it. Won't the Demon Race then hunt down Bai Jin? And won't our Nine Dragon Carriage be exposed?"
