"Who exactly are you?" Yaksha stared intently at Chen Qing, as if trying to see right through him!
Dragons have difficulty conceiving, and to prevent assassination, information about Dragon King Breed is kept highly confidential. The name of the Third Prince of the West Sea is not even known to humans outside the Dragon Palace. Even within the Dragon Palace, only high-ranking hybrids vaguely know his name. As for his whereabouts, let's not even talk about it. Within the Dragon Palace, only the Yaksha Guard, responsible for protecting the prince's safety, can obtain information the day before accepting the mission.
Ao Xin, the third prince of the West Sea, is the youngest of the royal bloodlines in the West Sea, but also possesses the best aptitude!
His whereabouts were unknown to the first two royal families of the West Sea. The West Sea Dragon Palace had the fewest offspring this generation. It took nearly 100,000 years to barely produce two royal families, and both of them were female dragons!
The Dragon Palace doesn't practice the same oppressive practices as humans towards women, but in terms of status, female dragons have always been inferior to male dragons.
The reason is simple: female dragons rarely give birth to purebred dragons, but male dragons can breed with other races.
The main reason why the Dragon Palace has so many Dragon Transformation offspring and is now Dragon Palace is that the male dragons have sown enough seeds, which has allowed so many Dragon Transformation seeds to be introduced over millions of years.
The probability of Dragon Transformation is low, but there are always a lot of people coming. Every year, tens of thousands of dragon offspring come to the dragon's lair; surely one or two will succeed?
So why are there so many? It's because the male dragon has been diligently working the land outside!
Conversely, female dragons cannot fulfill the function of passing on dragon blood, so in terms of offspring succession, no matter how you look at it, male dragons have a higher status than female dragons in the Dragon Palace.
The Third Prince Ao Xin is the only pure-blooded male Dragon King Breed among the younger generation of the West Sea, so his status is naturally exceptional. In order to protect the safety of this only progenitor, the elders even kept his whereabouts a secret from the two royal princesses, so you can imagine how secretive they were.
Before that great catastrophe, Ao Xin was tasked with participating in Tianlong's sealing plan. In the end, he was unable to evacuate in time. For safety reasons, he simply had the Third Prince enter a frozen hibernation in the Heavenly Dragon Palace. As for this latest information about his whereabouts, only a few Yaksha Kings and the Dragon King and a few elders of the West Sea Dragon Palace West Sea Dragon Palace about it!
How would this human know this?
Could it be that there was a spy in the Dragon Palace who leaked the information?
The thought sent a chill down the Yaksha, tinged with both shock and anger. Whether it was his fellow Yaksha who revealed it, or an elder from the Dragon Palace, it was all part of a conspiracy against the Third Prince. What were the people who leaked this information up to? What were their ulterior motives?
Did they even cooperate with other ancient forces?
A jumble of thoughts flooded his mind, making him feel like he was surrounded by danger!
Chen Qing was naturally surprised by the other party's wild imagination, thinking so far ahead in such a short time. Faced with the question, he couldn't explain, so he could only change the subject, saying, "Who I am is not important, and you can't provide what I want. Like I said, I want to speak directly with the Third Prince!"
Yaksha lowered his head slightly, concealing his frenzied killing intent within. He was even considering killing both the human and the Mystic Turtle in front of him, but if he did that, it would be difficult to extract any information. Most importantly, the Heavenly Ghost Octopus had reached a point where it was temporarily impossible to resolve.
Just then, another Yaksha appeared.
"What are you doing here?" The Yaksha looked at his suddenly appearing companion, his eyes filled with both wariness and accusation.
Since there aren't enough Blood Essence Stone, I can only revive the two of them and come here myself. The rest of my companions should stay close to Ao Xin!
"His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that this human be summoned for an audience!"
"What did you say?" Yaksha gripped his trident tightly, almost instinctively suspecting that his childhood companion was a spy!
Faced with his companion's murderous intent, the other party slightly curled his lip, then reluctantly produced a jade token. "The Crown Prince has given an order; do you believe it now?"
When Yaksha saw the jade tablet, he regained some of his senses. The prince carried this jade tablet with him at all times, and it was protected by a powerful spell. Even though His Highness's body was frozen, no one could take the jade tablet without his permission.
"Boy, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you!" Yaksha turned to look at Chen Qing.
Chen Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief. His biggest fear was that the Yaksha would completely disregard everything and kill him and the Mystic Turtle together.
But he had no choice. Time was of the essence, and he couldn't go through his subordinates to report his demands and haggle over them bit by bit. The fastest way was to talk to the person who had the most authority. And if he wanted to escape, he had to get the person with the most decision-making power here to listen to him!
Led by the others, Chen Qing and Yuchi Feihong followed at a distance. The Divine Fire Spell was still on the little Mystic Turtle. Chen Qing dared not relax in the slightest. Facing these monsters was the same as when he faced the Xiao Household emperor without any power. On the contrary, if the other party wanted to, they could kill him instantly at any time.
Along the way, the icebergs that formed the surrounding seawater caused the temperature to plummet. Even though Chen Qing's Qi and Blood were already at the Above First Rank, he still felt his hands and feet were freezing.
The ice sculptures here are all of nobles from the Dragon Palace. The larger the ice sculpture, the more noble its status. Chen Qing naturally knew how these ice sculptures that have remained frozen for thousands of years were formed. They required a massive amount of Baiyu to absorb the most concentrated freezing energy. Powerful creatures need to freeze their body functions to hibernate, which requires an extremely high amount of energy. Not all nobles can enjoy this treatment.
The larger the iceberg, the longer it can be preserved. However, nobles who cannot obtain a sufficiently thick layer of ice will be thawed prematurely over a long period of time. Because their bodies are dehydrated and do not have a large amount of water essence to replenish their fluids, they will die within a few days at most after being thawed.
Therefore, the thicker the ice layer, the safer it is. Judging from the thickness we see now, the Heavenly Dragon Palace has sealed away quite a few nobles, probably over a hundred purebred dragons. If all of these creatures were to fully recover, they could wipe out the current Great Jin eight hundred times over.
Finally, led by the Yaksha, Chen Qing saw the largest iceberg in less than a quarter of an hour.
Just as the intelligence was prepared, the most important person in the Heavenly Dragon Palace is the Third Prince of the West Sea!
However, when Chen Qing saw the completely human-shaped face inside the huge iceberg, he couldn't help but be somewhat lost in thought.
After so many years, he never imagined that one day he would see the face of his former colleague again!
Chen Qing originally thought she would never use the word "colleague" again in her life.
Having lived for twenty years, I always thought that my life would be that of an ancient scholar, a member of the upper class, a moderately corrupt official, a capable father-in-law, a virtuous wife, and four or five beautiful concubines. That would be my life.
I never expected the next two years to be so exciting, nor did I expect to see such familiar faces from my past life.
Do you know me?
A gentle voice came from inside the massive iceberg, lacking the oppressive force of a Yaksha that instilled fear. Instead, it gave one a feeling of being enveloped in warm water, and in that instant, the chill of the surrounding iceberg lessened considerably.
Chen Qing snapped out of her daze and looked the other person in the eye.
Wake up! Look at that seasoned tone. How could he possibly be that bald-headed young Qi Xiaosheng?
