Invited with the Position of Great River Water Lord

"Is this the Dao of Cuisine of Purple Jade Mountain? How truly unique!"

After learning how to use chopsticks, Yinglong Gengchen was captivated by the delicious food. The dishes in front of him were not only visually appealing and fragrant, but also beautifully decorated, showcasing their exquisite beauty to the fullest. He was even hesitant to pick up his chopsticks.

However, he managed to maintain his composure, unmoved by the exquisite delicacies. But the few inexperienced aquatic guards didn't have his composure.

The food in front of them didn't look particularly fancy, but the portions were generous and the aroma was enticing, so they quickly started eating.

Once they started, they couldn't stop. Although they didn't exclaim "It's so damn delicious!", their wide-eyed, incredulous expressions, and the increasingly rapid movements of their hands and mouths, along with the rapidly diminishing food in front of them, showed that they were completely captivated by the delicious food.

In the royal Royal Court of the East Sea Dragon Clan, this kind of delicacy was also served at the Royal Court banquet due to the addition of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. They had also heard that the method of making that delicacy was passed down from this Purple Jade Mountain. However, they never expected that the food at the Royal Court banquet would be so vastly different from the food of Purple Jade Mountain.

However, Wu Chu was not pleased with himself; his attention was entirely focused on Yinglong Gengchen.

Gengchen savored the exquisite food slowly, stopping occasionally to nod and offer a comment, displaying his elegant demeanor to the fullest.

It was clear that this guy was no stranger to this kind of food. Considering that one branch of the Qingqiu Fox Clan made a living in the Dragon Court of the Eastern Sea, Wu Chu wasn't surprised.

He was simply wondering what this guy's purpose was in coming to Purple Jade Mountain today.

Could it be that he's here to invite him to join the Dragon Clan, just like Feng Wu?

Although the Dragon Clan still had a breath left after the Three Clans War, it had declined far too much. Following them would definitely lead to a very miserable end.

So Wu Chu was thinking, if the other party asked him this question later, how could he politely refuse without hurting anyone's feelings?

Therefore, since the other party did not bring up these issues, Wu Chu decided to hold back for now and just warmly encourage them to eat and drink.

Ideally, everyone should just eat and leave without saying anything.

At first, just as Wu Chu had hoped, Yinglong and his guards were immersed in the delicious food and the singing and dancing performances. Yinglong even paid special attention to the musical instruments being played.

But as the banquet drew to a close, and feeling that he had eaten enough, Yinglong Gengchen raised his wine cup to toast Wu Chu, expressed his gratitude, and concluded by saying, "I have also witnessed what you did in your tribe in Houtu. I must say, you are a rare genius in terms of planning and coordination."

Wu Chu raised his wine cup and replied, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

"Therefore, I would like to ask you, fellow Daoist, if you would be willing to come to my Dragon Clan and lend us your strength? If you are willing to come, I will gladly relinquish the position of the Great River Water Lord to you."

It has to be said that Yinglong really went all out with this condition.

The Great River Water Lord commands countless aquatic creatures.

You must know that the Great River runs across the entire Primordial World from east to west, and its length is unknown. In fact, the water lords of the two Primordial World rivers are only one rank lower than the dragon lords of the Four Seas.

If Wu Chu could ascend to the position of the Great River Water Lord, he would practically become a pivotal figure in the Dragon Court, with a status comparable to the Dragon Lords of the Four Seas.

But Wu Chu also knew that sitting in that position meant he was truly bound to the Dragon Clan.

Moreover, with his current level of cultivation, what could he possibly use to subdue the aquatic creatures in the Great River?

Therefore, he knew very well that this pie was poisonous to him, and extremely poisonous at that.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If he himself doesn't have the strength to bear this weight, how can he possibly wear the crown?

Moreover, he's not a member of the Dragon Clan. Would the other Dragon Clan members agree to him taking that position? In this Primordial World, if you don't have the strength, don't flaunt it, or you'll easily get killed.

Wu Chu had a very clear understanding of himself.

"Thank you for your kind words, Water Lord!" Wu Chu put down his wine cup, politely cupped his hands towards Yinglong Gengchen, and then said solemnly, "However, I am sorry, with my cultivation level, I cannot bear such kindness from you, Water Lord. Think about it, if one day someone wants to take advantage of this Great River, they only need to secretly attack me. Once I leave, chaos will ensue below, and the entire Great River will be in disarray. This is an objective factor."

Yinglong Gengchen smiled and picked up a piece of glistening meat with his chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and slowly chewed it. In his view, this was not a problem at all.

He has countless means to address the personal safety issue raised by Wu Chu.

Wu Chu continued, "Subjectively speaking, I am not a qualified decision-maker and tend to act impulsively. Moreover, I am used to being lazy and don't like to meddle in so many things. I just hope to be free and unrestrained in these mountains and fields. I hope the Water Lord will understand."

Yinglong smiled and said, "What if I were to use force against you, fellow Daoist?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Houtu released her aura, and the aquatic guards who were eating voraciously stopped what they were doing.

The atmosphere in the Main Hall was tense, as if a fight could break out at the slightest disagreement.

The Little Flower Fairies also looked serious. Although their cultivation was low, they wouldn't mind risking their lives for Wu Chu if he really needed them.

The fur of the 'big white cat' lying next to Wu Chu also stood on end... The 'Little White' back then has now grown into a big white cat. Because it doesn't have the bloodline of a divine beast, Bai Jun's childhood wasn't as Yoyo Youyou's and the others'.

However, after years of training, it has come to know its own limitations and that it is no match for these people. Therefore, even when it was in a huff, it did not bark indiscriminately.

However, the two parties involved did not change their demeanor at all; they remained calm and composed.

Wu Chu waved his hand, signaling Houtu not to be nervous, and then smiled and said, "If the Water Lord wishes to use force against me, I naturally have no way to resist. The Dragon Clan is powerful, and I can only leave this place and find a secluded place to settle down. My cultivation is shallow, and although I am no match for the Water Lord, I can still manage to leave this place."

Yinglong glanced at Houtu, smiled, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and stood up, saying, "Therefore, do not let me see you become a guest of honor at the Qilin Royal Court in the future. Otherwise, although I acknowledge Torch Dragon as my brother, I will not be polite to you."

"I suppose Suijun won't see this, after all, I only wish to roam freely in the mountains!"

"That would be wonderful! Thank you for your hospitality, farewell!"

As he spoke, he rose and left the Main Hall, casually handing a Spirit Treasure to Wu Chu, saying, "Consider this a return gift for your hospitality, fellow Daoist. I hope it will be of some use to you."
