Chapter 290: Those Above Are Pure and Desireless; Those Below Are Upright and Simple (An End-of-Month Plea for Monthly Votes~)

The Dragon Lord was tall and slender, with handsome features as gentle as jade. He looked barely past thirty, his skin like fresh snow beneath a clearing sky, appearing all the more translucent against his yellow robes.

His brows were long as distant mountains, his pupils like dots of pine-soot ink. His nose was high and straight but rounded at the tip, and his lips were rather thin, their corners naturally upturned, lending him a certain warmth even when he was not smiling.

He looked like a scholarly emperor.

Of course, Cheng Xinzhan would not let such a fine exterior blind him into believing that a Dragon Lord who had traveled the rivers to become a dragon and governed the Yellow Sea into a prosperous undersea nation was a scholarly emperor.

The question he had just asked with a smile, for instance, sent a chill through Cheng Xinzhan's heart.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and said,

"What prompted that question, Dragon Lord?"

The Dragon Lord listened, a smile still lingering on his lips.

"Why hide it from me, Daoist? Though I don't know what divine ability you cultivated, that resonance of the arts swearing to suppress the vast ocean could not be false. It was so abundant and resolute. If I could mistake even that, what business would I have being an emperor of the seas?"

Cheng Xinzhan fell briefly silent, then looked the Dragon Lord directly in the eye and said frankly,

"What I wish to suppress is not the sea, but demons."

The Dragon Lord smiled soundlessly, then pointed toward the side behind the hall.

"Daoist, let us sit on the couch and talk. I have prepared some humble wine."
