Dragon Lord Seizes a Son-in-Law
"General Flying Tiger, may I ask what business the Dragon Lord has with you on your way to the Dragon Palace?"
Standing before the Min River, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but ask a question.
Despite Lan Feihu's eloquent and seemingly unrestrained speech, he never revealed his true intentions, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
"The Dragon Lord Divine Ability supernatural powers, far beyond your comprehension. What need could he possibly have for a mere mortal like you?"
Lan Feihu scoffed, refusing to explain to Lu Qingfeng, and then picked him up and leaped into the Min River. "You'll know once you're inside."
Splash!
The river is surging.
On the top of this Lan Feihu helmet, a bright pearl shines, separating the river water, and walking on it is as easy as walking on flat ground.
Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but glance at Mingzhu.
Seeing this, Lan Feihu seized the opportunity to show off, saying, "This is the 'Water-Repelling Pearl,' bestowed by the Dragon Lord. It can repel all waters; there is no such treasure in the mortal realm."
"Water-Repelling Pearl".
Lu Qingfeng looked surprised, but still gave Lan Feihu a lot of face.
In reality.
These Water-Repelling Pearl are really nothing special; they only allow people to walk underwater. When they encounter real water or heavy water, they will shatter on the spot. Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators can easily outmaneuver these 'Water-Repelling Pearl' by simply forming Water-Repelling Formula.
It's just that Lan Feihu can show off by bullying him, a mere 'mortal'.
Seeing the look of surprise on Lu Qingfeng's face, Lan Feihu raised his blue face, revealing his fangs, and laughed at the ignorance of mortals.
The two of them were secretly mocking each other.
Not long after.
It was as if I had passed through a barrier, and suddenly everything opened up before me.
A magnificent complex of buildings, stretching for countless miles and far surpassing any palace in the mortal world, is adorned with pearls and floats on the river. Squads of shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrol the waters, while beautiful maids ride the water.
It's like a fairy palace in the water.
Ordinary people would be captivated by such a sight, thinking it to be a fairyland.
"Kid, are you stupid?"
"This is the Min River Dragon Palace."
Lan Feihu patted Lu Qingfeng, making his body ache, and then carried him towards the most magnificent and splendid palace.
Along the way.
Whether they were shrimp soldiers or crab generals, or maids coming and going, they all bowed to Lan Feihu and addressed him as "Flying Tiger General".
Lan Feihu walked past with his head held high and chest out, offering no response.
Lu Qingfeng was grabbed by the neck and faced backward.
After Lan Feihu passed by, the soldiers and maids secretly cast glances at him. Seeing his disheveled and comical appearance as he was being carried, the maids pointed and chuckled, while the soldiers looked at him with a mixture of scrutiny and disdain.
"What kind of show is this?!"
A sense of foreboding welled up in Lu Qingfeng's heart, but it didn't seem like a bloody disaster; it seemed like something far more terrifying.
Lan Feihu kept going.
Soon.
Enter the central palace.
"This humble general pays his respects to the Dragon Lord."
Upon entering the main hall, Lan Feihu put Lu Qingfeng down and respectfully knelt before the elderly man with a blue face and red beard, dressed in a magnificent robe and wearing a blue crown, addressing him as 'Dragon Lord'.
"A mortal from Guangyuan pays homage to the Min River Dragon Lord."
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingfeng also bent down and knelt down in worship.
This lifetime.
He was merely a mortal, and upon seeing a dragon lord whose cultivation level was unknown, he still had to kneel. It wasn't about dignity, but simply a matter of a temporary difference in their levels.
"Get up."
The Dragon King spoke, his voice majestic and resonant throughout the hall.
"Thank you, Lord Long."
"This humble general greets the three princes."
Lan Feihu was the first to stand up and greet the three men below Min River Dragon Lord, each with a different temperament: one in brocade robes, one in Daoist robes, and one in armor.
"General Flying Tiger".
All three nodded in agreement, showing that Lan Feihu indeed held a certain status within the Min River Dragon Palace.
Lu Qingfeng looked at the three people Lan Feihu addressed as "Your Highness." Judging from this title, they should be the sons of the Min River Dragon Lord. Despite their status, they did not treat Lan Feihu with disrespect. Firstly, these three were exceptionally well-mannered, and secondly, it was evident that although Lan Feihu's words on the way here were somewhat boastful and exaggerated, they were not entirely unfounded, indicating that he did indeed hold some position within the Min River Dragon Palace.
Lu Qingfeng stood up together with Lan Feihu.
He bowed to the three Min River Dragon Palace masters.
Then Lan Feihu rushed to the head of the Min River Dragon Lord and reported, "Reporting to the Dragon King, this humble general encountered this boy named 'Guangyuan' in the territory of Ya Prefecture, Fenglin Circuit. The 'Fortune-Observing Treasure Mirror' showed a red glow, so we quickly brought him back."
As he spoke.
Lan Feihu took out a dark black mirror and infused it with a powerful force. The mirror immediately emitted a black light, which instantly turned white, and finally settled on a red light. The blinding red light illuminated the hall, and from within the mirror, the image of a person appeared—
It was Lu Qingfeng.
"Red light."
"The 'Fortune-Observing Treasure Mirror' can only identify up to the third tier of fortune. This kid's fortune glows so brightly, it must be beyond the third tier, perhaps even the fourth or fifth tier. He has the potential to become a cultivator of the Fourth Realm or even Fifth Realm in the future!"
Below the Min River Dragon Lord, the last of the three Dragon Palace, dressed in a gleaming Golden Light armor, had his eyes light up and spoke first, joyfully addressing the Min River Dragon Lord above him, "Father, why don't you take out the 'Fortune-Illuminating Mirror' and examine it carefully?"
Lu Qingfeng looked toward the person who had spoken.
"Ranked third should be the Third Prince of the Min River Dragon Palace. He's the youngest and can't control his temper." Making this assessment in his mind, Lu Qingfeng also knew why Lan Feihu had 'invited' him to the Min River Dragon Palace.
His gaze fell on the black treasure mirror in Lan Feihu's hand. "The Fortune-Observing Treasure Mirror, used to explore one's destiny?"
All Spirit Birth things have their own destiny.
Lu Qingfeng cultivates the 'Grand Luo Insight,' which allows him to observe a person's Root Bone and the aptitude of Spirit Birth. However, this fortune is rather complex. He has never encountered it before and does not know how the black, white, and red categories in the Immortal Qin Realm are divided.
Having no cultivation, he couldn't use the Grand Luo Insight and could only watch helplessly, which was really unsettling.
Suppress your thoughts.
He decided to temporarily refrain from consuming experience points to gain cultivation, lest he reveal any flaws. His eyes lingered a little longer on the 'Fortune-Observing Treasure Mirror,' while his mind drifted to the 'Fortune-Illuminating Mirror' mentioned by the Third Prince of the Min River.
As the name suggests.
It's not hard to guess its purpose.
The head of the Min River Dragon Lord trembled slightly. Seeing the rich red light reflecting in the hall, he was pleased, but shook his head and said, "No rush. We can check it together when the other generals return."
The Third Prince was somewhat disheartened upon hearing this.
However, the Min River Dragon Lord was clearly quite powerful, and even the Third Prince, one of his only three sons, was somewhat intimidated.
Not daring to question, he only focused his gaze on Lu Qingfeng, then, with a quick glance around, he beckoned to Lu Qingfeng and said, "Kid, come over and get to know us three brothers."
Lan Feihu stood to the side, silent.
"Yes."
Lu Qingfeng responded and ran over in a few steps. The Third Prince pulled him to sit at the same table as him.
A maidservant presented silver chopsticks and a bronze measuring cup. Lu Qingfeng turned his head to look at the three princes on his right.
The Prince of the Min River appeared to be in his thirties, exuding an air of nobility as he sat upright, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
The Second Prince, dressed in a Daoist robe, had the kindest face. He looked like a young man with an air of otherworldly wisdom. He nodded and smiled at Lu Qingfeng.
As for the Third Prince standing right next to him, at first glance, he was about the same age as Lu Qingfeng. He was a young and heroic man, and his Radiant Armor was truly the most dazzling thing in the hall, even overshadowing the Golden Armored Divine General on the pillar.
At a glance, one can tell that he has a free-spirited nature.
"Come on, come on!"
"Eat, eat, eat!"
"Drink, drink, drink!"
"Make yourself at home, don't be shy."
The Third Prince, with a boisterous air, clinked glasses with Lu Qingfeng. The Dragon Palace wine was indeed exceptional, far superior to the 'Drunken Immortal Brew' and 'Immortal Roam' that Lu Qingyu had painstakingly sought out.
After three glasses of fine wine...
They hadn't even had a chance to taste the unrecognizable delicacies on the table.
Bang!
Overwhelmed by the intoxication, Lu Qingfeng couldn't control himself and collapsed onto the table, falling into a deep sleep.
"Ha ha!"
"This kid can't hold his liquor. He'll have to work on him when he becomes my brother-in-law!"
On his deathbed, Lu Qingfeng heard the Third Prince's loud laughter in his ears before he fell into a Chaos.
In a drunken dream.
Lu Qingfeng seemed to see generals like Lan Feihu walking in one after another, each followed by one or two, or even three or five, teenagers or young men.
Before long, red light flickered in the hall, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
I don't know how many days have passed.
I don't know how many generals came.
Lan Feihu suddenly stepped forward, picked him up, and carried him into the hall, which drew another burst of laughter.
Immediately.
Lu Qingfeng dreamed of a mirror hanging in the air, reflecting him completely, as if he had taken off all his clothes, leaving him completely exposed, which made him feel extremely ashamed.
A burst of blue light emanated from the surrounding area, causing an uproar.
There were also pairs of burning gazes on him, with various expressions that Lu Qingfeng couldn't discern.
Then the scene changes.
It was as if he had truly been stripped naked, and a group of beautiful maids served him, washing and changing his clothes. He was dressed in a red robe, adorned with various exquisite ornaments.
Such a hassle.
I don't know how many days I've been in a coma.
Inside the Dragon Palace, after wandering around in circles for a while, Lu Qingfeng's mind remained in a state of Chaos.
The wine of the Dragon Palace is not something that mortals can enjoy.
The effects of the alcohol kicked in.
It would be difficult to wake up without sleeping for decades.
Fortunately, the external entity was still there, which allowed Lu Qingfeng to retain a faint trace of consciousness and witness the scenes of the past few days.
He saw it.
The Min River Dragon Palace is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with large red lanterns hanging high.
There were far more shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and beautiful maids walking around than when he arrived, as if they were still bowing in his direction. There were also strangers who seemed to be guests, such as Daoist priests, generals, or other practitioners, who all showed him kind smiles when they saw him.
That's how it is.
The Chaos lasted for an unknown number of hours.
This day.
Lu Qingfeng suddenly felt a clarity in his mind, the Chaos dissipated, the drunkenness subsided, and he instantly sobered up.
My head doesn't hurt.
My eyesight isn't blurry at all.
But upon seeing the scene before him and looking around, he was stunned!
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Lu Qingfeng bowed three times, and through the red veil, he glimpsed a slightly immature yet exquisitely beautiful face, and felt a strange sensation in his heart.
"The ceremony is complete!"
"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
Lu Qingfeng was led towards one of the palaces. Beside him was the woman who had bowed to him earlier.
Travel slowly along the way.
My mind was filled with countless thoughts, while my ears were filled with laughter and endless congratulations.
A blur flashed before my eyes.
They were led into a palace.
Boom!
The palace doors closed, leaving only Lu Qingfeng and the woman with a red veil sitting on the edge of the bed.
