Dragon (part two)

Sure enough, as soon as the Little Fire Phoenix spoke, Mo Lingna's expression changed. She suddenly stood up, staring at Ying Shuang with hostility in her eyes.

These past few days, having spent time with Zhuge Xiang, Mo Lingna Mo Lingna that the Little Fire Phoenix called Zhuge Xiang" father." She even often teased it, trying to get it to call her "mother," but the Little Fire Phoenix had never agreed. But now, this suddenly appearing woman— the Little Fire Phoenix calls her "mother"? Could it be...? The two of them...?

"Who are you!?" Mo Lingna suddenly stood up, her eyes fixed on Ying Shuang, filled with hostility.

Who is Ying Shuang? She is a princess of the mighty Great Qin Empire. Within the empire, even the Sect Master of the Large Sect would not dare to show her any disrespect. How dare this woman, who appeared out of nowhere, so brazenly question him?

Ying Shuang glanced sideways at Mo Lingna, showing no interest in answering. She simply held the Little Fire Phoenix, happily examining and stroking it. The Little Fire Phoenix also squinted its eyes, looking very content. The two, one human and one bird, were enjoying each other's company.

"You brat! Where did this wild girl come from? Don't you have any manners? Don't you know you should answer properly when someone asks you a question?"

Seeing the Little Fire Phoenix enjoying itself, and realizing she had been ignored, Mo Lingna angrily shouted. No one had ever dared to look at her like that before, even if this person was Zhuge Xiang's wife, she still had to become the powerful one.

"I have no need to pay attention to those who are ignorant. Upbringing? Do those who bark like vicious dogs even understand the meaning of those two words?" Mo Lingna was straightforward, but Ying Shuang was no pushover either. As a princess, how dare anyone treat her like that? Naturally, she didn't give Mo Lingna a friendly look either.

"Princess? You dare call yourself a princess in front of me?" Hearing Ying Shuang's words, Mo Lingna was even more furious.

Even though you and Zhuge Xiang are husband and wife, you can't act like a princess in front of me. That's absolutely unacceptable. I can't back down today, otherwise, I'll never have a chance to turn things around at home again.

"Today, I have to make you realize who's the boss and who's the subordinate in this family." With a glare, Mo Lingna's aura shifted, Bull Demon pattern appeared on the back of her fair hand. Her cultivation at the Gathering Origin Stage erupted, as powerful as a mountain.

Ying Shuang, as the Ninth Princess of the Great Qin Empire, possessed a noble status, and the resources she obtained for cultivation were naturally incomparable to those of ordinary people. Coupled with the gains from the trip to the Hundred Emperors Tomb, Ying Shuang's cultivation had already broken through to the True Essence Realm, reaching the Fifth Layer level of the True Essence Realm.

"Hmph, so what if you're at the Gathering Origin Stage? This princess isn't afraid of you!" Seeing that Mo Lingna was about to make a move, Ying Shuang also got angry.

A difference of one minor realm? With Ying Shuang's strength, a difference of one minor realm is indeed nothing. Besides, as a princess, how could she not possess numerous powerful treasures?

"Alright, Mother, teach her a lesson! She's already Wedding to my father. She's trying to steal your place!" Seeing Ying Shuang about to make a move, the Little Fire Phoenix jumped for joy, its body ablaze with Flame, eager to join in, looking like it wanted to help Ying Shuang.

In its mind, Mo Lingna was completely a "stepmother" figure. Now that Ying Shuang had arrived, it was naturally happy to see its own mother and drive away this "stepmother."

"As expected..." Little Fire Phoenix's words made Mo Lingna even more certain of her thoughts. This woman was indeed already married to Zhuge Xiang. No, she couldn't lose today no matter what, otherwise, she would always be suppressed by the other party at home.

"Stop it, you two! This is a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding..." Zhuge Xiang, seeing how things had developed, was both amused and exasperated. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop the two from fighting; this battle was completely unnecessary.

Lu Yuling secretly rolled her eyes at the conflict between Mo Lingna and Ying Shuang. Mo Lingna was like a hedgehog; no matter which woman had an unusual relationship with Zhuge Xiang, she would rush in to fight.

Even if she was pressuring Zhuge Xiang to marry her, and felt insecure about their relationship, did she really need to be so eager? Or rather, it's because Mo Lingna values Zhuge Xiang too much.

"Husband, don't interfere. This is between her and me, two women." Hearing Zhuge Xiang's objection, Mo Lingna shook her head firmly and looked at Ying Shuang with hostility. This is a woman's private matter, and you, man, shouldn't interfere.

"So she thought Zhuge Xiang and I were husband and wife?" Ying Shuang realized what was going on after hearing the conversation between Zhuge Xiang and Mo Lingna, and she was both amused and exasperated.

No wonder the Little Fire Phoenix calls Zhuge Xiang "father" but calls herself "mother." It's no wonder the other party misunderstood. But even if it's a misunderstanding, Ying Shuang isn't one to suffer a loss. Take action? Then let's take action. She's really not afraid of her.

"Elder Sister Shuang, why did you stop here? Weren't you supposed to be going to Nanning Island to intercept that Black Flood Dragon?" A crisp voice suddenly rang out, and a golden streak flashed through the air, moving incredibly fast, arriving on the Asura Warship in a matter of moments.

Even if Zhuge Xiang wanted to stop the fight between Mo Lingna and Ying Shuang, he couldn't. He thought they were about to fight, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest arrived. Upon closer inspection, Zhuge Xiang was secretly startled...

Antlers, snake body, eagle claws, fish scales...

The golden line that appeared was clearly a dragon, a Golden Dragon full of holy aura. Although this dragon was not very big, only about half the length of a person, it was definitely a dragon.

Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling were slightly taken aback when they saw the Golden Dragon appear. They then exchanged glances, both showing surprise and delight.

Ice Maiden was imprisoned at the bottom of the East Sea. To break the barrier, she needed the Dragon Horn of the Dragon Clan. She was racking her brains about how to sneak into the Dragon Palace and steal the Dragon Horn of the young Dragon Clan, but unexpectedly, it came to her effortlessly.

"Xiao Yao, why did you leave the Dragon Palace on your own?" Ying Shuang was slightly taken aback when she saw the small Golden Dragon that had appeared. She asked in surprise, clearly indicating that she was familiar with the Golden Dragon.

"I'm so bored staying in the Dragon Palace every day. I heard there's a Black Flood Dragon among the Aquatic Clan that stole the Dragon Pearl from my Dragon Palace, so I took this opportunity to run away. Elder Sister Shuang, let me go with you to catch that Black Flood Dragon! If we catch it and prove ourselves, Father will definitely allow me to come out and play more often in the future," the slender Golden Dragon said in a crisp voice, first complaining and then pleading with Ying Shuang.

"Ding! Quest 'Dragon Palace's Favor' triggered. Quest requirements: Help Princess Ao Xiaoyao of the Dragon Palace capture or kill the Black Flood Dragon who stole the Dragon Pearl. Quest success will reward you with 18 million Experience Points, a pet Skill Book, Origin Returning Furnace. Accept/Decline."

Origin Returning Furnace (Five-Star Treasure Artifact- Level Refining Furnace): Requires True Essence Realm cultivation. Refines equipment and Pill. Success rate 20%, speed 20, 5% chance of enhancement.

Ying Shuang's conversation with the slender Golden Dragon actually triggered a system mission. Upon hearing this mission, Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback. 18 million Experience Points was not a small amount, enough to cover more than half a level. Moreover, in addition to a pet Skill Book, there was also an Origin Returning Furnace.

As Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level broke through, his Life Profession also improved accordingly. With Zhuge Xiang's current abilities, he was already feeling somewhat powerless using that One Qi Furnace. He was considering when to find a suitable furnace. This Origin Returning Furnace was exactly what Zhuge Xiang needed, and the 5% probability of enhancement made Zhuge Xiang even happier.

To break the Ice Maiden's Restriction Barrier, all you need is Dragon Horn, but there's no rule specifying which dragon's horn is required. The East Sea Dragon Palace is a colossal entity; it would be best to avoid becoming its enemy.

If I were to help the East Sea Dragon Palace in their pursuit of the Black Flood Dragon, and after slaying it, I were to ask for a Dragon Horn, I doubt the East Sea Dragon Palace would object. Furthermore, if I were to slay the Black Flood Dragon alone, the entire dragon would be mine.

"Princess, what exactly is that Black Flood Dragon? Do you need my help?" After accepting the task prompted by the system, Zhuge Xiang stepped forward and asked.

"Husband..." Hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, Mo Lingna felt a little jealous. This wasn't Ying Shuang's fault at all; it was someone else trying to get rid of her, yet Zhuge Xiang had offered to help. Wasn't he being too kind to her?

"That's right, we can lend a hand if needed," Lu Yuling nodded in agreement.

"Oh? Are these Elder Sister Shuang's friends? They're so kind," said the slender Golden Dragon Ao Xiaoyao happily upon hearing that Zhuge Xiang and Lu Yuling had both offered to help.

"You?" However, Ying Shuang did not seem happy; instead, she looked at Zhuge Xiang with suspicion.

Admittedly, the incident at the Hundred Emperors Tomb demonstrates Zhuge Xiang's formidable strength. However, Ying Shuang also knows he's not the kind of Dao Heart, good-natured person. Yet, he's now offering to help, which makes Ying Shuang suspicious.

"What's wrong? Don't you need it? If that's the case, then forget it," Zhuge Xiang said, Ying Shuang's suspicious gaze. If the other party truly didn't trust him, then Zhuge Xiang would simply go and find the Black Flood Dragon on his own.

"Yes, Mother, let us help you!" the Little Fire Phoenix said joyfully. The Black Flood Dragon didn't care; as long as it could stay with its father and mother, it was happy.

"Husband, we're busy with our own things, there's no need to help her," Mo Lingna quickly agreed upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, not wanting Zhuge Xiang to be so eager to help Ying Shuang.

"Alright, since you're willing to help, I'd be more than happy to." Whether it was because of the Little Fire Phoenix or because of her anger towards Mo Lingna, Ying Shuang nodded and agreed to let Zhuge Xiang help. (To be continued.
