The Immortal Venerable's Daughter, Yaoji's Invitation
"Oh, so you're the Immortal Venerable's child. I'm Han Xiangzi. What's your name?"
My name is Yaoji.
"Yaoji? What a lovely name."
Yaoji couldn't help but laugh when she heard Han Xiangzi praise her like that.
Han Xiangzi asked, "Where is Miss Yaoji's father?"
Yaoji said, "My father has something to attend to and can't come back for the time being. I cultivate on the Immortal Island and don't like being disturbed by outsiders, so my father sent me to the Immortal Island."
Han Xiangzi thought to himself, "This little girl is quite proud; she doesn't like being disturbed."
However, Han Xiangzi didn't say much, but simply cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I won't delay Miss Yaoji's cultivation any longer."
After Han Xiangzi finished speaking, he turned and left Yaoji's sight.
Yaoji watched Han Xiangzi's retreating figure, she cursed inwardly, "You stinky man!"
The Golden-Winged Peng Bird also left with Han Xiangzi.
"Master, this girl seems quite extraordinary. I have a feeling that she might be the same demon who tried to steal my food on Ten Thousand Demon Ridge that day."
"You monkey, how did you know?"
"Master, I'm an old monkey who has lived for thousands of years, of course I can sense it."
"Alright, you're an old monkey, you're an old monster."
"Master, don't put it so harshly, we're all family."
"Hmph, who's your family? I have nothing to do with you."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, Master, I was wrong, alright?"
"You know you're wrong? I don't know I'm wrong. I'm not like you, you old monkey. You still have the nerve to call yourself an old monster. Old monsters don't know shame."
"Oh, Master, please don't be angry anymore. I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry anymore."
"Hmph, it's good that you know you're wrong. If you dare not correct your mistakes, see how your master will teach you a lesson!"
"No, no, it won't happen again."
"Okay, you better keep your word!"
"Yes, I mean what I say."
The two chatted as they walked toward the fairy island.
After hearing Han Xiangzi's report, the Immortal Emperor was somewhat surprised. He never expected that the Dragon King of the East Sea Jiaolong the East Sea Dragon Palace, would actually attack Han Xiangzi and even try to kill him.
The Immortal Emperor asked Han Xiangzi, "Junior Brother Han, why did the Dragon King of the East Sea want to kill you?"
"Master, the Dragon King of the East Sea tried to steal my Nine-Bend Azure Vine, but I defeated him and seriously injured him. So I sent that Jiaolong to lead its Jiaolong Legion to hunt me down, but it followed me wherever I went. And every time I was in danger, it was this little girl who came to my rescue."
"I felt sorry for her, so I took her in."
"I see!"
"Yes."
"Master, look how adorable this little girl is, why don't we adopt her?"
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor shook his head with a wry smile.
"You monkey! This little girl is the child of a Jiaolong! How dare you want to adopt her? That's outrageous!"
"How could the child of this Jiaolong be a girl? Doesn't she always wear a dress and a bamboo hat?"
"Where did this little girl's clothes and straw hat come from? I remember that child was definitely wearing little girl's clothes."
"Could she be an imposter?"
"That doesn't make sense either. This Jiaolong's child couldn't be an imposter; she must be the child of the Dragon King of the East Sea."
"Does the Dragon King of the East Sea want to kill this child?"
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor thought to himself, "That's not necessarily true."
He had heard Han Xiangzi describe the battle between the Dragon King of the East Sea and that Jiaolong that day. The Jiaolong's strength was definitely extraordinary, and the girl also had the Jiaolong's aura on her, which meant that the Jiaolong was even stronger than the Dragon King of the East Sea.
Seeing the Immortal Emperor deep in thought, Han Xiangzi asked in confusion, "Master, what are you thinking about?"
The Immortal Emperor sighed and said, "Han Xiangzi, do you know what kind of background this Jiaolong has?"
Han Xiangzi thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it just a Jiaolong? Is that so strange?"
"Hehe, do you know that this Jiaolong is a High Antiquity divine beast, far surpassing the strength of ordinary Jiaolong? Moreover, they all possess a bloodline, which is inheritance."
Han Xiangzi exclaimed in astonishment, "High Antiquity divine beast? And it even has a lineage?"
The Immortal Emperor nodded and said, "The Jiaolong is High Antiquity beast with extremely powerful strength. Even ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to withstand them. Moreover, the Jiaolong's bloodline is very noble, making it an extremely rare existence."
Han Xiangzi frowned and said, "It's a pity that the Dragon King of the East Sea didn't have the chance to evolve into High Antiquity beast. They all have only one characteristic: to devour flesh and blood to increase their own cultivation."
"Yes, you guessed right. The Jiaolong themselves aren't very strong, and they're slow at devouring flesh and blood, but they possess a special skill: they can devour the flesh and blood of other strange beasts, making their bloodline even purer."
"I see. No wonder I sensed the aura of Jiaolong on this little girl."
"Yes."
Han Xiangzi thought for a moment and asked, "Master, what is the background of this little girl?"
The Immortal Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "This girl is Dragon Race. Her parents were divine dragons, but due to an accident, the divine dragon was trapped in the Dragon Tomb, and she was sealed away. That's why she has been protecting me."
Han Xiangzi said, "Master, then this girl's parents must be powerful beings, otherwise how could she possess such a powerful bloodline and be able to seal it away?"
"Um."
"Master, I have a way that might be able to revive her."
"Oh, you said."
Han Xiangzi said, "This girl should have the heart of Jiaolong inside her."
"What Jiaolong's heart?"
"Master, do you know what the Heart of Jiaolong is?"
"I really don't know that."
"The heart of the Jiaolong is the source of the Jiaolong Clan's bloodline. Their hearts are formed from the essence of the Jiaolong. It can be said that the essence of the Jiaolong is its life. The heart of the Jiaolong is the Jiaolong's heart. Once the heart of the Jiaolong is damaged, the Jiaolong will lose its vitality and become an ordinary Jiaolong."
Is this true?
"Of course it's true."
"However, this is the first time I've heard of this. I think your father probably doesn't know about it either, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed this little girl to live on our Mount Wanshou."
"That's true, but that doesn't prove the girl is the embodiment of the Jiaolong's heart. It might just be a coincidence, or perhaps she's just a pearl of the Jiaolong."
"Hmm, that's possible. I also believe that there are some rare and precious treasures in this world that can transform into human form. It's also possible that her true form is a Demon Beast. But no matter what, she is a Demon Beast."
"Hmm." Han Xiangzi nodded. "Then, Master, should we give this girl to her parents?"
