The Dragon King's Disciple? I Can't Bear That Responsibility

The Immortal Emperor said, "No need. This little girl already has a friend, the Immortal Sovereign."

"The Immortal Sovereign? He's the disciple of the Dragon King of the East Sea?"

"Um."

"This little girl is so lucky! With Immortal Sovereign as her friend, even that Jiaolong wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her."

"Hehe, didn't you just say that this girl is very powerful?"

"Uh, I was just saying."

"Han Xiangzi, I want you to take this girl as your apprentice."

"Become an apprentice?" Han Xiangzi asked in surprise. "I'm not cut out to be an apprentice. I'm only responsible for taking care of you, Master. I don't know anything else, and I can't take on that responsibility."

"Don't worry, although this girl lacks talent, she has a high level of comprehension. If you take her as your apprentice, you won't be hindering her progress."

"Master, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true."

"Alright, since you've spoken, Master, I'll reluctantly agree. However, I can only accept her as my disciple; I won't interfere in anything else."

"Hehe, I don't need your interference."

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Master."

"No need to be polite. Keep a close eye on that Jiaolong in the future, lest it discover the secret of Mount Wanshou."

"OK."

"Alright, you continue with your work. I'll go back and rest for a bit. Once everything is arranged, I'll come back to pick you up, and then we'll head to the Western Regions together."

"Good."

After leaving Han Xiangzi's cave abode, the Immortal Emperor immediately returned to the Immortal Palace and arrived at the Immortal Emperor's sleeping quarters in the Immortal Realm.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor was sitting on his Immortal Emperor's couch, resting with his eyes closed.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Get up." The Immortal Emperor glanced indifferently at the Immortal Emperor kneeling before him.

The Immortal Emperor stood up and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"I want you to send someone to investigate what that woman's identity is, and who her master is?"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor was slightly taken aback, not understanding why the Immortal Emperor had suddenly brought up this matter.

Seeing that the Immortal Emperor was stunned, the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Yes," the Immortal Emperor replied, then turned and left the Immortal Palace.

After the Immortal Emperor left the Immortal Emperor Palace, his face instantly darkened. He muttered, "So she's actually a descendant of that dragon. Hmph, I'll see just who she is."

After saying this, the Immortal Emperor closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the couch, and began to cultivate.

Time flies like an arrow, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these five years, Han Zhongli has been by Han Xiangzi's side almost every day. The two of them cultivate together, eat, drink and have fun together.

Five years might be short and boring for ordinary people, but for someone like Han Zhongli, who has reached a certain level of enlightenment, it passes in the blink of an eye.

Han Zhongli and Han Xiangzi were cultivating together in the cave abode. When Han Xiangzi was cultivating, the surrounding void trembled.

Han Zhongli's cultivation was much simpler. Besides cultivation, he focused on alchemy, medicine making, and weapon crafting. As for other aspects of his cultivation, he mostly meditated to recover from his injuries and then absorbed the primordial energy of heaven and earth to improve his cultivation level. Only in this way could he recover from his injuries quickly.

That day, Han Xiangzi was cultivating when he suddenly felt a series of strange movements, which made him open his eyes and reveal a look of surprise.

Outside the cave abode, a group of guards escorted three people as they entered.

The three men appeared to be around sixty years old, short and stout, dressed in yellow robes, wearing golden crowns, long swords at their waists, and cloud-patterned boots, exuding an imposing air.

As soon as the three men entered, a guard greeted Han Xiangzi, saying, "His Immortal Emperor requests your presence."

Han Xiangzi frowned slightly and looked at the three men. All three men were at the Immortal Lord Stage level, and two of them had even reached the Peak Half-Step Immortal Lord realm.

"Who exactly are they?" Han Xiangzi wondered to himself as he followed the Immortal Emperor outside.

Soon, the group appeared in the main hall. Upon seeing the Immortal Emperor, Han Xiangzi quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty. We have come to pay our respects to Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor."

Get up.

The Immortal Emperor waved to Han Xiangzi, then his gaze fell on the three men.

The Immortal Emperor calmly addressed the three men, "Are you the Dragon King of the West Sea and the Fairy Azure Luan?"

"That's right." The three men bowed in unison to the Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor nodded, looking at the three with a smile, and said, "You must be the Dragon King of the West Sea, Fairy Azure Luan, and that young lady."

"That's right."

What business do you have with this old man?

"Your Immortal Emperor, we have come here with a request."

"Oh, what is it that you are asking for?"

The Fairy Azure Luan said, "Your Immortal Emperor, the three of us would like to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of help do you need? Tell me."

"We wish to bring this young lady into our territory in the West Sea."

The Fairy Azure Luan pointed at Han Zhongli and said.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but laugh and say, "So what if she really is the inheritor of that Jiaolong's legacy?"

The Fairy Azure Luan shook her head and said, "No, Your Immortal Emperor, what we ask for is not for that girl to become our successor in the West Sea, but rather that she remain in our West Sea, to be worshipped in our West Sea, and to be offered up to the Dragon King of the West Sea."

"What? You want her to make offerings to the Jiaolong King, the dragon king?"

The Immortal Emperor's face was filled with astonishment.

You must know that Jiaolong are the most noble beings in the Immortal Realm, and the Dragon King of the West Sea is his brother. He never expected that his brother would want a descendant of Jiaolong to worship him.

If this gets out, wouldn't it be a complete disgrace to the Dragon Race of the East Sea?

Seeing the Immortal Emperor's reaction, Fairy Azure Luan quickly explained, "Your Immortal Emperor, please don't overthink it. What we're asking for isn't offerings to our brothers, but rather to marry our sister, my elder sister, the Dragon Girl Princess of the West Sea Dragon King, to this young lady. What do you think, Your Immortal Emperor?"

After hearing Fairy Azure Luan's explanation, the Immortal Emperor finally understood the reason.

The Immortal Emperor said, "What you say is not wrong. The three of you are old brothers. If your sister marries into our East Sea, wouldn't you be one family?"

The Immortal Emperor sighed inwardly. He had long wanted to marry his daughter to the Fairy Azure Luan's brother, but his sister was unwilling, so the matter was delayed.

But today, it's different because Fairy Azure Luan took the initiative to make the request. His younger sister already has an admirer, which makes him very depressed. That's why he agreed to Fairy Azure Luan's request.

Now that Fairy Azure Luan has proposed that Han Zhongli become the successor of the West Sea, he is naturally happy to see it happen. He is even considering whether he should marry Fairy Azure Luan to the Dragon King of the Jiaolong.
