Tang Tiandong transported Tang Tiansong's body back to Dangwu Village overnight.

Before dawn, Tang Tiandong, carrying his birth date sticker, headed east towards Divine Dragon Island.

Based on the information available, the Tang Household should not face any external enemies in the short term. However, once Tang Tiansong's death is announced, the Tang Household may face a powerful enemy again.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you.

Tang Tiansong, the most powerful cultivator in the Tang Household at the Qi Refining First Layer, is dead.

Most of the more than twenty cultivators in the Tang Household have not even reached the Meridian Opening First Layer, let alone the Conception Vessel Opening Realm.

Leaving aside the elusive and imaginary great fortuitous opportunity that is about to descend upon Gazing Dragon Lake, the Tang Household's coal mine, copper mine, 30,000 clansmen, and hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land are enough to make people drool.

The Tang Household has now declared martial law, and all three thousand defenders from the Western Rong have returned to their posts.

Kongming, a cultivator at the Qi Refinement Third Layer Refining at Emptiness and Form Temple in Ji Household Village, also agreed to Tang Tiandong's request to temporarily provide support should a powerful enemy attack. However, the condition was that Tang Miao become a formal Buddhist disciple.

With the trump card Mystic Spoon protecting him, it wouldn't make much sense for Tang Tiandong, whose cultivation level is only at the Meridian Opening Fourth Layer, to stay at home.

The most pressing issue for the Tang Household right now is finding long-term external support.

Although the Cui Household had already sent their guest cultivator, Shen Kun, who was at the Qi Refining Second Layer, to support the Tang Household.

However, Shen Kun needed the Tang Household to pay him three Spirit Stone every month while he was with the Tang Household.

Moreover, Cui Lihai, the father of Cui Mingfei, the head of the Cui Household family, also said that Shen Kun could only stay at the Tang Household for a maximum of three months.

Because the Ye Household of Iron Bridge Village was wiped out, no one cared about the life or death of the Iron Bridge Village, but some people coveted the spiritual fields of Iron Bridge Village.

The entire Gazing Dragon Lake, Dragon Breath Valley, Dragon Scale Plain, and Pingyang Commandery are all under the Azure Origin Sect.

The conflicts between mortals were of little concern to the Azure Origin Sect.

However, when it comes to spirit fields and spirit mountains, and cultivation Lineage vie for them, the Azure Origin Sect will intervene to stop it.

Now that the Ye Household of Iron Bridge Village is gone, according to the rules of the Azure Origin Sect, whoever seizes the spirit fields of Iron Bridge Village, plants the spirit rice, and successfully harvests the spirit rice, owns the spirit fields.

It is currently the season for planting spirit rice. The Cui Household spent three hundred Spirit Stone to acquire the spirit fields in Iron Bridge Village and immediately arranged for people to plant spirit rice.

Five months later, after the spirit rice is harvested, the Cui Household will report to the Azure Origin Sect for registration and record-keeping, and only then will the spirit fields of Iron Bridge Village truly belong to the Cui Household.

When that time comes, if anyone tries to seize the spirit fields again, the Cui Household will report it to the Azure Origin Sect, and the Azure Origin Sect will uphold justice.

Now, three months from now, the Cui Household will also need someone to guard the spirit fields to prevent other cultivation Lineage from causing damage.

Tang Tiandong is heading to Divine Dragon Island because he wants to marry Long Zhiyu and form a marriage alliance with the Dragon-Taming Clan - Long Household.

After traveling day and night, weary from the journey, three days later, on the tenth day of the sixth month of the new immortal calendar year 4042, at the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), Tang Tiandong finally arrived at Divine Dragon Island alone.

The entire hall was empty except for Long Zhiyu in red, sitting on the main seat; the old woman of the Long Household, who was at the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer, sitting on the second seat; and Tang Tiandong, who was standing below the throne.

"Tang Tiandong, do you know what it means to miss this opportunity once it's gone?"

Our marriage is a union between our two families, Longtang and Liang.

You should have been relaxed and at ease.

Now you're rushing around, stumbling and crawling.

What's wrong? Why are you sobbing?

In any cultivation Lineage, which one hasn't experienced the sudden murder of a close relative?!

The Ye Household wasn't wiped out overnight by you.

Why are you crying?

"Useless." The Long Zhiyu looked at His Highness Tang Tiandong with a cold expression.

"Fellow Daoist Cage, I didn't cry."

"I'm a little seasick from the boat trip to Divine Dragon Island," Tang Tiandong sniffed.

The death of Tang Tiansong not only meant the loss of the Tang Household's strongest fighter, but also the loss of their patriarch.

Lineage that want to form a marriage alliance with the Tang Household should also consider the possibility of future attacks from the Tang Household's enemies.

Tang Tiandong had no idea whether the Long Household would continue the marriage alliance, but he had no choice; the Tang Tiandong Long Household was the only outside help he could think of at the moment.

Before setting off, Tang Tianzi told Tang Tiandong: Women all admire strength, but given the current situation of the Tang Household, if they continue to act neither humble nor arrogant, it will inevitably make Long Zhiyu think that the Tang Household is putting on a hypocritical act.

Tang Tianzi also said: Women have an innate maternal instinct. This time, Tang Tiandong showed sincerity, weakness, and even pitifulness, which may arouse the maternal instinct of the Long Zhiyu and achieve a marriage alliance.

That's why Tang Tiandong had tears in his eyes when he stood in front of the Long Zhiyu.

"It seems that the so-called maternal instincts that Third Sister spoke of in women are completely absent in the Long Zhiyu," Tang Tiandong lamented inwardly.

"Oh, I've set up magic arrays and restrictions around Divine Dragon Island. If outsiders try to channel Spiritual Qi into it, they'll feel dizzy and lightheaded."

"If you live on Divine Dragon Island in the future, you'll have to get used to traveling by boat in a mortal body." The Long Zhiyu raised the corner of its mouth slightly.

Will we live on Divine Dragon Island from now on?

It seems the Long Zhiyu is even considering marrying me.

Tang Tiandong cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Long, I have brought my birthday card today."

My Tang Household has suffered such a calamity. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Long still intends to marry me.

"Hmph, it was your older brother who died, I'm not marrying him." Long Zhiyu curled her lip.

Tang Tiandong had no choice but to suppress his anger and listen attentively.

"You are facing four Qi Refinement, three of whom are only at the Qi Refining Second Layer."

Instead of running away, you took the initiative and remained calm in the face of danger.

"You even managed to kill three Qi Refining Second Layer. You do have some skill, and it makes me Long Zhiyu, admire you even more." Long Zhiyu sighed softly.

"However, I just spoke with the Lineage elders about your family's situation."

The clan elders said that continuing the marriage alliance with your family would not benefit the Long Household, but would instead bring unnecessary trouble.

I originally thought you had fossilized dragon eggs that could hatch into giant dragons, but I saw your three substandard dragon egg fossils a while ago.

Although it has some dragon-like qualities, it is indeed impossible for it to hatch into a dragon.

Originally, my desire to marry you was my own personal choice.

So, unless you have other dragon egg fossils in your home that could potentially hatch into a giant dragon, otherwise...

"Fairy Cage, my family truly only possesses those three substandard dragon egg fossils." Tang Tiandong cupped his hands in greeting.

"Then we two are destined to be apart in this life..." Long Zhiyu sighed sadly.

If a marriage alliance fails, I wonder if a formal alliance can be formed.

"My Tang Household is also aware of our own limitations, so I, Tang Tiandong, no longer aspire to marry Fellow Daoist Long. I only wish to form an alliance with the Long Household." Tang Tiandong regained his composure and proposed his middle-ground strategy.

"Alliance?"

hehe.

What gives your Tang Household the right?

You don't even have a single Qi Refinement cultivator. Do you think you can lend a hand when my Long Household is in trouble?

"Even if I, Long Zhiyu, have feelings for you, the clan elder will absolutely not agree to an alliance." Long Zhiyu.

As expected, upward socializing is completely meaningless.

Since an alliance couldn't be formed, Tang Tiandong decided to propose his own alternative: hiring the Long Household as bodyguards.

To be precise: hiring the dragon from the Long Household as bodyguards.

"Since an alliance between the Tang and Long families is hopeless, could the Tang Household hire the Tang Household Long Household's dragon to temporarily protect them?" Tang Tiandong unpacked the package he was carrying.

"These are two spirit swords used by Qi Refining Stage cultivators, which my Tang Household obtained yesterday after killing enemies."

To conceal their identities, the enemy left these two spirit swords without any markings or restraints.

Any other cultivator can use it, or they can melt it down and reforge it into a suitable weapon.

"My Tang Household is willing to use these two spirit swords as payment for hiring the dragon."

With Long Zhiyu summoned two spirit swords that flew to its side.

After examining the Spirit Sword, Long Zhiyu was full of praise, "Truly a fine sword."

Hehe, I was just worried about not having a suitable spirit sword. I'll melt down two of them and forge them into a giant sword for my use.

Looking at Tang Tiandong, Long Zhiyu's almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly, "A good sword is a good sword."

However, there is indeed no precedent for outsiders to hire the dragon from my Long Household.

However, I can ask the elders for you...

But I have one condition...

"Whatever the conditions, as long as it's within my power, I, Tang Tiandong, will absolutely agree."

The Long Zhiyu raised an eyebrow. "I demand that you become my servant and serve me closely for a month."

"Oh, are you suggesting I become your maid in the dormitory...?"

Oh, no, that's not right.

I am a man.

"Do you want me to be a male servant in a dormitory for a month?" Tang Tiandong's lips twitched slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes...
