The Dragon Palace

"Is the Dragon Palace just ahead?"

Through the curtain, Fang Zelin could vaguely see a huge palace in front of him.

It's hard to imagine that such a palace still exists beneath the Jing River.

Moreover, the area beneath the Jing River was somewhat unusual. When Fang Zelin's sedan chair first arrived at the Jing River, the surrounding water was clear, but still somewhat murky.

After the sedan chair swam downstream for a short while, a very clear dividing line appeared, and suddenly they entered a magical place.

It was as if the surroundings had suddenly become empty; if it weren't for the occasional bubbles rising around, it would be difficult to realize that the area was surrounded by river water.

"Immortal Master, we've arrived."

The sedan chair stopped, and a fish demon came forward and spoke respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin lifted the curtain and went downstairs.

Before Fang Zelin could even look around, he spotted Long Jun and Meng Yunqing approaching.

"We've finally waited for you. I should have personally greeted you, Immortal Master, but I was injured during my tribulation and was delayed a bit while recuperating. I hope you won't blame me, Immortal Master."

Upon seeing Fang Zelin, Meng Yunqing was the first to step forward and speak.

Fang Zelin wasn't particularly concerned about this. Seeing countless fish demons coming to the gathering, he found it quite novel.

"Immortal Master, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go inside and take a seat first?"

At this moment, the Dragon Lord also extended an invitation.

Fang Zelin had no objection, but he felt slightly uncomfortable with the way the other party addressed him, so he immediately said, "Wouldn't it be better to change the way you address me, Dragon Lord?"

Given the Dragon Lord's level of cultivation, Fang Zelin felt that calling him an Immortal was going too far.

Dragon Lord, however, did not think much of it. Seeing that Fang Zelin seemed unwilling to be addressed as Immortal, he had a sudden thought.

Yes.

So many of my clansmen are here at today's banquet, all staring intently at me. If I were to address them in that manner again...

Anyone who isn't a fool should understand what this means.

Among the Human Race, there are those with extraordinary talents. One of them accidentally saved Demon Race had transformed into human form. The Demon Race was grateful and repaid him, thus gaining immense wealth, freedom from illness and disaster, and many other benefits.

These are tales of the strange and unusual about the Human Race, some of which have traceable origins. In addition, the Demon Race is relatively common among Human Race, hence the existence of such tales.

Similar tales also exist among the Demon Race race.

However, the object of this tale of the extraordinary has become an immortal.

For Demon Race, receiving guidance from an immortal would make their path of cultivation unobstructed; this is a common legend among Demon Race.

"In that case, how about I address you as an equal, Immortal Master?"

The Dragon Lord pondered for a moment, then spoke.

Given his level of cultivation, he should be qualified to be considered Fang Zelin's contemporary.

"That brought honor to Mr. Fang."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin immediately laughed.

"In that case, young friend Fang, please come inside with me."

As Meng Longjun spoke, he led the way into the Dragon Palace.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin addressed Meng as "Brother Meng" and followed him inside.

A short while later, Fang Zelin arrived at the banquet.

The seating at the banquet was arranged in two rows, from the outermost seats to the main seats, which was quite particular.

On the outermost seats, I saw that the Aquatic Race fish spirits seated there were mostly those who had only partially transformed into human form.

As you look at the seats inside, the cultivation level increases sequentially.

Upon seeing the Dragon Lord enter, the Aquatic Race who were still seated quickly stood up and bowed.

Seeing this, Long Jun simply nodded slightly and led Fang Zelin through.

Who is that person?

The arrival of the Dragon King attracted the attention of countless Aquatic Race, who were all stunned to see that he was accompanied by someone.

Even Meng Yunqing, who was standing to the side, was several steps behind this person. Who was this person?

The demons watched this scene, puzzled.

At this moment, the Dragon King didn't care about all that. He simply led Fang Zelin to the seat of honor and had Fang Zelin sit down on his right.

Upon seeing this, all the demons immediately turned their gazes to Fang Zelin.

This person, is he Human Race?

Where did this guy come from, and why does he deserve such attention from the Dragon Lord?

The demons looked on, puzzled.

Dragon Lord showed no intention of explaining at this moment, and instead picked up his wine cup and said loudly.

"Today is a banquet of Aquatic Race that I am hosting for Yunqing. It is no easy feat to obtain the body of True Dragon, so today is a joyous occasion. Everyone, please do not be shy and eat and drink to your heart's content!"

After saying this, the Dragon King took the lead and drank the wine.

Upon seeing this, the demons quickly rose to offer their congratulations, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

The scene immediately became lively.

Fang Zelin held the wine glass, examined the wine inside carefully, and took a gentle sniff; he could still smell a strong aroma of wine.

It was truly astonishing that Fang Zelin, despite not having mastered the art of water avoidance, was able to breathe freely in the water.

The area surrounding the Dragon Palace is truly magical.

After taking a small sip, Fang Zelin nodded immediately; the taste was quite good.

It's just not quite as good as the Clear as Empty he brewed himself.

"How is it? This wine is pretty good, isn't it!"

Long Jun had been watching Fang Zelin closely. Upon seeing him nod slightly, he immediately asked.

"Hmm, it's a little different from the wine we drink in the mortal world. It's smoother and less spicy. It's a top-quality wine."

Since this was someone else's banquet, Fang Zelin naturally couldn't say things like the wine was far inferior to his own.

Lao Jun was quite pleased to hear this and immediately urged Fang Zelin to drink more.

Then he clapped his hands, and soon countless servants came gracefully carrying plates filled with delicacies.

Following closely behind were mermaids with human bodies and fish tails, who gracefully walked in at that moment.

Behind them were musicians carrying instruments such as the pipa and konghou. After they all stood in place, they began to play music and dance.

These mermaids were all graceful and beautiful, with slender waists and delicate faces. Their cheeks and the corners of their eyes were covered with fish scales, which had a certain color, as if they were wearing special makeup.

At first glance, it even displays a touch of exotic charm.

Moreover, the mermaid's dance was quite extraordinary; her colorful veil was only a thin layer covering her body, and the ribbons fluttered as she swayed.

Putting everything else aside, these mermaids are all really beautiful.

After glancing at it a few more times, Fang Zelin turned his attention back to the plate in front of him.

The food here is truly something you can't usually get to eat.

The maidservant behind him, carrying a wine pot, would step forward to refill Fang Zelin's wine cup after he saw that it was empty.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin would also express his gratitude.

The Aquatic Race at the other tables had already started getting up to chat with their friends.

The scene looked quite lively.

Fang Zelin, on the other hand, seemed rather lonely.

However, Fang Zelin didn't mind. The food in the Dragon Palace was quite good, which Fang Zelin liked very much.
