Zhenyuanzi's Embarrassment! (cont.)
Sitting atop the precious carriage, Bai Chen looked at the Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea was driving it, and said something.
It thought Ao Guang was quite sensible; no wonder the Clan Elder of the Dragon Clan chose Ao Guang East Sea Dragon King.
After Ao Guang escorted Bai Chen to the Crystal Palace, he invited her to take the seat of honor and then arranged for people to serve her, bringing her all the food and drink.
In order to appease Bai Chen, Ao Guang even went so far as to have several dragon maids lead singers and dancers in a performance.
After calming Bai Chen down, Ao Guang quickly notified Ying Long, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, and the other Dragon Clan.
The East Sea Dragon Palace immediately went on high alert.
Upon receiving Ao Guang's notification, Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon arrived at the Crystal Palace immediately.
Fellow Daoist Bai Chen ~
"Cough cough!"
Just as Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon were about to bow, Bai Chen coughed, interrupting them.
Bai Chen abruptly interrupted with his address, and Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon immediately understood the cat's meaning. They could only bow and change their address:
"Great God Bai Chen, what brings you to my Dragon Palace?"
Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon felt that this was a time when dragons were stranded on the beach and mocked by shrimp, and tigers were fallen into the plains and bullied by dogs.
Yuanfeng's former Pet Beast now surpasses her in status by two levels.
However, Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had no choice but to accept reality. Bai Chen's cultivation level was now far above theirs, far beyond what the two of them could contend with.
"Ying Long, Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, everyone, please don't be shy, make yourselves at home."
Seeing that Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon were sensible, Bai Chen gestured for them to dispense with the formalities.
Upon hearing Bai Chen's words, Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon felt embarrassed, because this was originally their home!
If the East Sea Dragon Palace isn't their home, then is it Bai Chen's home?
"What the Great God Bai Chen said is absolutely right!"
Although Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon were furious, Bai Chen's strength was undeniable, so they dared not turn against him and could only agree.
After all, Bai Chen wasn't someone like Zhenyuanzi; he was a notorious ferocious god in the Primordial World.
If you anger this cat, it's absolutely capable of slaughtering the entire East Sea Dragon Palace.
Zhenyuanzi Zhenyuanzi: You Dragon Clan only dare to act like pushovers in front of Zhenyuanzi because you think I'm easy to talk to and have many reservations, right?
Now that you've encountered Bai Chen, this tough nut to crack, you've all behaved yourselves. Is this how you Dragon Clan treat each other?
Bai Chen: If the Dragon Clan dares to act arrogantly towards me, the Great God Bai Chen, I wouldn't mind letting them know how sharp my Heaven Measuring Ruler is!
Seeing that Ying Long was sensible, Bai Chen said:
"Ying Long, I had some connections with the Ancestor Dragon back then, and seeing the Dragon Clan in this state today fills me with pity. I happen to possess a great opportunity, which is why I thought of the Dragon Clan."
Bai Chen and Ancestor Dragon had no prior relationship, but now, naturally, they are.
Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon both knew that Bai Chen and Ancestor Dragon had no relationship, but they didn't say it out loud, since it would be awkward for both of them!
"Great God Bai Chen, what is this great fortune?"
Ying Long wanted to know what Bai Chen meant by "fortune"—was it real fortune, or just an excuse?
"The human race has Three Sovereigns sovereigns: Heaven, Earth, and Man. Today, the Heavenly Sovereign is Fuxi, the Earthly Sovereign is Hong Yun, also known as Shennong Shi, but the Human Emperor has yet to be chosen!"
Bai Chen's meaning is already very clear: this destiny is the fruition of the human race, the position of the human Human Emperor!
"Great God Bai Chen, if you were to grant the Human Emperor to my Dragon Clan, my Dragon Clan would be eternally grateful."
Ying Long was the first to bow to Bai Chen, followed by the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, which led the rest of the attendees in bowing as well.
After gesturing for everyone to dispense with formalities, Bai Chen pretended to be troubled and said:
"Ying Long, but there are many people who need the throne of the Human Emperor."
"And since your Dragon Clan is Sinful Race, it wouldn't be right for me to directly give you Dragon Clan!"
Bai Chen's meaning was quite clear: the position of Human Emperor was not necessarily exclusive to the Dragon Clan. If the Dragon Clan wanted the position of Human Emperor, it depended on whether the Dragon Clan knew what was good for them.
Ying Long, an ancient monster who had lived for countless eons, immediately understood Bai Chen's meaning.
To obtain this fortune in Bai Chen's hands, one must pay a price.
After making his decision, Ying Long bowed to Bai Chen and said:
"Great God Bai Chen, I remember that the Yuanhui Clan Chief borrowed a batch of treasures from you some time ago, is that right?"
Upon hearing Ying Long's words, Bai Chen's eyes flashed with amusement, and he replied:
"That's right, Fellow Ancestor Dragon was so busy suppressing the Eye of the Endless Abyss that he forgot to return it to me."
Bai Chen thought that Ying Long truly lived up to his reputation as the second-in-command of the Dragon Clan; he was really savvy!
Now that the Ancestor Dragon has been suppressed in the Eye of the Endless Abyss, Ying Long's question and Bai Chen's response confirm it, then this matter is indeed true.
Primordial World beings: What nonsense! This is bribery, selling the position of Human Emperor.
Ying Long summoned Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, and instructed him:
"Ao Guang, you entertain Great God Bai Chen well for me. I'm going with the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon to find the treasure that our clan leader borrowed from Great God Bai Chen back then."
After Ying Long finished speaking, he and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon escaped from the Dragon Palace.
In order to protect themselves, the Dragon Clan moved most of the Dragon Clan resources to the sea eyes of the four seas.
There's nothing good in the East Sea Dragon Palace; it's mostly ordinary stuff, worthless junk.
The eyes of the four seas are all home to elite members of the Dragon Clan race.
Those elite Dragon Clan, because they bear the responsibility of guarding the sea eye, need sufficient strength to protect it, and therefore their strength is not affected by karmic consequences.
The Dragon Clan store their resources in the Sea Eye of the Four Seas, entrusting them to the protection of elite Dragon Clan whose strength is unaffected by karma. Unless a saint intervenes, these resources are virtually safe.
Because of their identities, Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon were not stopped by the Dragon Clan elites when they arrived at the East Sea Eye, and they met the Azure Emperor Azure Dragon King.
To avoid making Bai Chen wait anxiously, after talking with the Azure Dragon King, they took some treasures and left the East Sea Eye, returning to the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Crystal Palace...
After Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon returned with the money, they took out three excellent Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, ten Innate Spiritual Treasure, and several other treasures.
"Great God Bai Chen, look, this is the treasure the clan leader lent you back then."
Ying Long felt that these treasures should be enough to appease Bai Chen and help the Dragon Clan secure the throne of the Human Emperor.
"That's right, these are the treasures that I lent to Ancestor Dragon sometime earlier."
Bai Chen put the things away, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that these misers of the Dragon Clan were quite wealthy.
It seems I'll have to visit the Dragon Clan more often in the future; who knows, the Ancestor Dragon might owe me even more money.
Ancestor Dragon: Bai Chen, you can't play like this.
"The throne of the Human Emperor is yours, the Dragon Clan. Choose one of the two to be reincarnated as a human and become the Human Emperor!"
After Bai Chen accepted the gifts, he pointed at Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and said something.
In truth, Bai Chen still preferred the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, as Xuanyuan Shi was the reincarnation of the Yellow Dragon.
The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon is the purest form of yellow dragon!
"After you've made your decision, the one who wants to be the Human Emperor should go find the Yuanshi Sage himself."
Bai Chen didn't have time to arrange the reincarnation process of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, after all, it had entrusted the position of Human Emperor to Yuanshi Tianzun.
What is contracting?
That means it doesn't need to exert any effort from beginning to end; it just needs to wait for the result.
"The throne of the Human Emperor will be given to your Dragon Clan. The matter between Shennong Shi and your Dragon Clan is now considered settled!"
After accepting the benefits, Bai Chen casually mentioned the matter from before.
"What the Great God Bai Chen said is absolutely right!"
Although Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon felt they had been ripped off by Bai Chen, they were still relatively accepting that the matter with the human race had been resolved.
After all, if one of them were to become the Human Emperor, then the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan could be considered as one of their own.
Since we're all on the same side, there's no need to dwell on the previous petty squabbles.
Just as Bai Chen was about to leave, Ying Long Bai Chen out to him and asked:
"Great God Bai Chen, do you have a way to free the clan leader from the Endless Abyss Sea Eye?"
Because Bai Chen released Yuanfeng, Ying Long also wanted to release Ancestor Dragon from the Endless Abyss Sea Eye.
Once the Ancestor Dragon Ancestor Dragon is released, under its leadership, the Dragon Clan will prosper once again, and Dragon Clan will no longer need to fear those Innate Great God plundering the East Sea Dragon Palace.
"Hehe!"
Bai Chen sneered and asked Ying Long in return:
"Ying Long, can you afford the price?"
You should know how long Great God Bai Chen, waited for Yuanfeng, and how much effort he put in to get the representatives of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man to agree.
But as long as the Dragon Clan offer the right price, everything is negotiable.
"This..."
Upon hearing Bai Chen's words, Ying Long was at a loss for words.
Although Bai Chen clearly stated his price, Ying Long understood that he would have to pay a considerable sum to get Bai Chen to save Ancestor Dragon.
However, there is one thing Ying Long is certain of: Bai Chen has a way to save the Ancestor Dragon.
Bai Chen didn't care what Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon thought, and left the place directly.
The Underworld...
After wreaking Houtu Houtu's garden in the Underworld, Bai Chen arrived at Houtu's Daoist temple, the Nine Splendor Jade Palace, and kicked open the palace gate with a claw, saying:
