Refusing Schemes

The Dragon Palace main hall was paved with immortal gold and supported by immortal jade pillars. Coral-shaped lamp posts hung on the walls, illuminating the hall brightly.

On the dragon-carved throne sat a middle-aged man with green hair and a red face, clad in an Azure Dragon Emperor Robe. He was furious with a severely wounded youth before him, roaring, "My family is cursed! How could my East Sea Dragon Clan produce a rebellious son like you? You dared to harm the Human Princess. Are you tired of our Dragon Clan living too well, wishing for our annihilation?!"

It turned out that the little green dragon who had nearly killed Nuwa was the third son of the East Sea Dragon King.

Ao Guang roared, disbelief etched on his face. He had only gone to Suojie Luo Dragon King's home for a banquet, and Ao Bing had caused such a massive disaster.

In this era, humans were the Protagonists of Heaven and Earth.

Humans occupied the Primordial Land and possessed the destiny of the Protagonists of Heaven and Earth. Even if their strength couldn't match the Witch and Demon Clans, they could absolutely crush the Dragon Clan into dust.

Their Dragon Clan had only Candle Dragon, the old ancestor, left to maintain their prestige. However, Candle Dragon's condition was not optimistic; he could barely protect himself.

Those burdened by Karmic Debt would encounter all sorts of Calamities as soon as they appeared in the world. To avoid this, Candle Dragon sealed himself in an Ocean Trench.

Under these circumstances, Ao Bing not only failed to lie low but actively provoked humans.

Ao Guang was truly infuriated by Ao Bing. If Ao Bing weren't his son, he would have executed him on the spot to appease the human race's wrath.

Ao Bing knelt below, trembling. His small face was pale with fear, devoid of any color.

He had already been severely injured by Fang Yang. After Ao Guang ransomed him back, Ao Guang didn't even give him a chance to heal before dragging him to the hall.

"Ao Guang, you heartless wretch, is this how you treat your own son?"

Just as Ao Bing was about to be dragged away by Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, a woman in a Colorful Coral Dress stormed into the hall, pointing at Ao Guang's nose and cursing.

Although the woman's figure was somewhat out of shape, her face still retained its charm.

Upon seeing the woman's arrival, Ao Guang's head began to ache. His Dragon Queen had an extraordinary background; she was Geng Wuniang, the daughter of the Yangtze Water Emperor, who was the eldest son of Geng Chen Old Ancestor.

If the Ao Clan Dragon Clan were the royal family of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, then the Geng Clan Dragon Clan was the royal family of the Land Dragon Clan.

Of course, Ao Guang and Geng Wuniang's union was a love match, not a political marriage. Geng Wuniang had also been a great beauty in her youth, the most beautiful dragoness of her time. After being with Ao Guang, she had given birth to too many Dragon Sons and Daughters, damaging her origin, which led to her becoming a haggard woman.

"Mother, Father is going to hit me."

Seeing his mother arrive, Ao Bing's fear and trepidation vanished. He threw himself beside the Dragon Queen, sobbing and complaining.

"Mother, it was Prince Yuan Suo who said our East Sea Dragon Clan are all cowards, unable to even deal with a little girl, that's why I attacked the Human Princess. Father isn't blaming Prince Yuan Suo, but punishing me."

Hearing this, Ao Guang became even more enraged. He slammed the armrest of his throne, and the immortal jade armrest instantly shattered, exploding in a burst of sparks.

"Rebellious son! How dare you mention Yuan Suo? If he told you to die, would you go die?"

The Yuan Suo Prince they mentioned was the son of Suojie Luo Dragon King, who was the Dragon King of the Western Water Element.

Ao Guang was on good terms with Suojie Luo Dragon King, wanting to expand his network and pave the way for the future of the Four Seas Dragon Clan. He never expected that while he sought friendship, others would plot against him.

What angered Ao Guang the most was that his son was too foolish, easily manipulated by others. It was only because Fang Yang intervened in time and crippled this evil obstacle that the situation didn't escalate further.

Even though Fang Yang had crippled Ao Bing, Ao Guang felt a sense of gratitude.

Geng Wuniang shielded Ao Bing tightly behind her, her willow brows furrowed, and she snapped back at Ao Guang: "Ao Guang, stop throwing your weight around in front of your own family! Yuan Suo's insult to our East Sea Dragon Clan was an insult to both you and me! Bing'er is young and impulsive, and his mistake was provoked by Yuan Suo's instigation. Why are you blaming Bing'er?"

"I'm punishing him for his stupidity! For his ignorance of the world!"

Ao Guang tried to reason with Geng Wuniang, but was Geng Wuniang someone who reasoned? If she reasoned, she wouldn't have raised her son like this.

She covered her ears and repeatedly shook her head: "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen."

Then, she scooped up Ao Bing and left the great hall, leaving only Ao Guang with a darkened face and a few numb-looking Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals.

After Geng Wuniang and her son departed, Ao Guang sighed helplessly: "A soft mother spoils her child."

The Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals stood in the hall, daring not to speak or ask anything.

The affairs of the Dragon King's family were not for them to meddle in. Moreover, they had heard that the Dragon King had given up thirty percent of the Dragon Palace's resources to appease the human race's anger, and had also promised to help the human race manage the Xiang River Flood, thus preserving the foundation of the dragon clan.

One could imagine how terrible Ao Guang's mood was at that moment.

However, the matter was not yet concluded.

"Sect of Interception, Fang Yang."

Ao Guang's expression was grim. His son had provoked a disciple of the Sect of Interception.

Admittedly, Ao Bing had not attacked Fang Yang, but Fang Yang had taken action to punish Ao Bing. Ao Guang, the old dragon, would absolutely not give the disciple of the Sect of Interception a chance to make trouble.

Ao Guang's luck was not too bad.

Fang Yang's original plan was to go to Mount Emei to meet Zhao Gongming and collect some rewards. However, after taking the Creation Mending Pill, his cultivation had broken through again, reaching the Late Golden Immortal stage.

He needed to stay in his dojo to consolidate his cultivation, lest breaking through too quickly affect his foundation.

Because of this, Ao Guang did not make the trip in vain.

Although Ao Guang did not meet Fang Yang in person, he successfully left the "compensation" on Ningzhen Island. Seeing that Fang Yang had accepted the compensation, Ao Guang returned to the Dragon Palace with peace of mind.

Disciples of the Sect of Interception were, after all, disciples of a Saint, having received the Saint's teachings. No matter how overbearing they were, they were still reasonable.

Fang Yang did not see Ao Guang because he did not want to fall into anyone else's schemes. After learning of Little Green Dragon's identity, he began to question the matter of Nuwa.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world? The East Sea Dragon King happened to be visiting the West, Nuwa happened to be playing in the East Sea, and Ao Bing happened to see Nuwa. One coincidence might be a coincidence, but a series of coincidences combined became inevitable.

Although Fang Yang had already intervened in this matter, as long as he did not continue to participate, he would not be deeply mired.

As a disciple of the Sect of Interception, occasionally intercepting vitality for others was an act that complied with the Heavenly Mandate. No one could fault him.
