Slapped to Death

In the water palace of Gaoyou, Ao Qing, unable to hold his liquor, revealed his demonic form, transforming into a ten-foot-long white-clawed, blue-backed dragon that groaned on the ground.

Zhang Xuezhou swayed back and forth.

After downing two jin of liquor, Zhang Xuezhou felt his Qi and Blood surging, his whole body brimming with strength, and he kept thinking about venting his frustration through a fight.

After judging others by his own standards, Zhang Xuezhou quickly moved a few steps away from Ao Qing, wary of being accidentally slapped by Ao Qing.

He felt extremely dizzy, as if he had been spinning a thousand times in place, but his relatively strong mental strength supported him, preventing him from being unable to do anything like Ao Zhang Xuezhou, who could only lie on the ground groaning.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou drank less of the saliva wine than Ao Qing.

"Hmm, the Poison Repelling Technique has been activated?"

When Zhang Xuezhou sensed the Poison-Expelling Technique in his body slowly activating under the stimulation, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Ao Li wouldn't feed his son poisoned wine. They either drank too much, drank the wrong kind of wine, or Zhang Xuezhou's body had different resistance to poisoning than dragons, which led to the abnormal poisoning.

"Help! Someone come quick!"

Zhang Xuezhou wasn't afraid of being poisoned himself, but he was a little worried about the adverse effects of Ao Qing's poisoning.

If the other party is poisoned to death, he will be in even greater trouble.

This prompted Zhang Xuezhou to exclaim in surprise.

A moment later, Zhang Xuezhou saw a man with a missing arm and a flat head running sideways towards them.

This made him rub his eyes hard, feeling as if he was seeing things incorrectly after being poisoned.

What do you need people for?

The person with the flat head asked in extremely broken local dialect, which made Zhang Xuezhou stand firm and stare for a few seconds.

"Oh dear, why did the little king fall down?"

"Tell me, what do you want, someone come here?"

"What were the young king's orders?"

"We can go and grab two more people!"

The other person's rambling finally brought Zhang Xuezhou back to his senses. He realized that the place he was in was a monster's lair, and he couldn't use the word "human" to describe things.

What's your name?

"Thanks for the crab!"

"Thanks?"

Zhang Xuezhou felt he couldn't communicate with the little demons of the Gaoyou Water Palace.

He could only point at Ao Qing.

"Quickly, fetch Ao Qing's father!" Zhang Xuezhou said. "He drank poisoned wine and might be in trouble. The sooner the better!"

"Oh dear, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The young king has taken poison... Where would we get poison here?"

The person with the flat head turned sideways and dashed away.

This made Zhang Xuezhou rub his eyes vigorously again.

He eventually realized that his senses were starting to malfunction, so he had no choice but to diligently perform the detoxification ritual to try and reduce the negative effects on his body.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't dare to run away. Firstly, his body was in such bad shape that he couldn't walk steadily and couldn't run. Secondly, even if he ran away, he wouldn't get very far, and he would definitely be caught by Ao Li.

"How could she drink the acacia wine? This is wine that husband and wife drink together when they enter the bridal chamber. Luckily, Qing'er is young and doesn't know any better, otherwise, without the dragon maiden's abstinence, her body would have been blown apart. This bird demon... it turns out she's just a fledgling!"

Ao Li's voice rang out after a moment.

Zhang Xuezhou had initially been thinking of taking advantage of the situation, but after hearing the details clearly, he decided it was better not to.

"His body hasn't fully developed, so he's not afraid of the effects of saliva and alcohol on his yin and yang. It's just that his body is a bit strange; it seems to be dissipating the power of saliva and alcohol in sexual intercourse. You've had some good luck; drinking the wrong kind of alcohol can actually strengthen your body!"

After checking Ao Qing's body, Ao Li felt relieved and then checked Zhang Xuezhou's body.

He reached out and poked several parts of Zhang Xuezhou's body. Zhang Xuezhou's sleeves rolled up, and bronze feathers, sharp as blades, bloomed on his arms.

This amazed him.

But when Zhang Xuezhou realized that only his arm had mutated, while his body had not undergone Demonization, he already knew the identity of the guy in front of him.

This is no Jingwei bird demon at all.

This guy is clearly a half-demon.

Ao Li frowned, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, but he softened after pinching the feathers on Zhang Xuezhou's arm.

"It should be Technique Within the Clouds; he's very likely a descendant of Lei Ming!"

Lei Ming's name isn't particularly well-known, but going back a generation, there was Leizhenzi, who was once one of the top physical experts in the Three Realms. He was one of the most powerful figures in the Three Realms, and even Ao Li had to acknowledge his strength.

"He must be from the Yedie River Holy Land, no wonder he was able to go to the Xieluosi River Holy Land and become friends with the daughter of the Feiyu Feather Demon King!"

Ao Li felt he now understood Zhang Xuezhou's background.

Compared to the other person's self-introduction, Ao Li felt that the other person's true background was even more impressive than he had previously assumed.

"The cultivators of Leizhenzi's lineage like to eat everything, can eat anything, and eat everything indiscriminately. Sooner or later, they'll get into trouble because of what they eat!"

He muttered something under his breath, then patted Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly.

A flush of red instantly spread across Zhang Xuezhou's body.

"Even with the heavenly robes on, I don't have clothes this nice!"

After several takes, Ao Li noticed something unusual, which almost made him choke. No wonder the other party had boasted about his fashion sense.

Given the other person's fashion sense, Ao Qing would have a very hard time catching up to him in this lifetime.

Zhang Xuezhou's background was stronger than he had imagined.

If the other party had a good impression of Ao Qing when they first met, which allowed them to become friends, then their family background is also quite good.

The friendliness at first meeting is only temporary, and the prerequisite for maintaining a stable friendship is similar social standing.

Ao Li was quite pleased that his children had some long-term friends.

"Although this saliva is merely a mating offering for my dragon clan's newlyweds, how could it be anything less than excellent? As long as it's not affected by the power of this aphrodisiac, it's a top-quality tonic, enough to... um, kill it?"

Ao Li patted Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly, helping to neutralize the medicinal effects within his body.

But after patting for a short while, he discovered that the half-demon he was patting had lost much of its life force.

This made him reach out and touch Zhang Xuezhou's nostrils. He heard a faint breath, which startled even Ao Li.

Ordinary lesser demons cannot withstand the impact of a powerful medicine and will simply die, even if Ao Qing is heartbroken. However, the death of a demon with a powerful background would be more troublesome.

Although Ao Li was not afraid of Lei Ming, he felt it was better to avoid trouble if possible.

He reached out and made a hand gesture, exhaling a breath of emerald green air towards Zhang Xuezhou.

"Great King, my severed arm has grown back! It used to take two years to grow, but this time it only took two days! My Demon Power seems to have increased greatly..."

"Xie Xie, shut up and get out of here!"

"Aww!"

Zhang Xuezhou's body remained unchanged, but the crab demon beside him, after inhaling the dragon breath exhaled by Ao Li, regenerated its severed arm.

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou's body showed no physiological changes, and listening to the crab demon's grumbling, Ao Li couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

"This doesn't make sense! The life-giving dragon's breath I've refined within my internal organs can bring the dead back to life and heal even the most White Bone. I can save anyone who has even a breath left. Why isn't he reacting at all!"

Ao Li stared intently at Zhang Xuezhou's body, unable to immediately ascertain Zhang Xuezhou's condition.

He groped Zhang Xuezhou for a while, then chased away the crab demon.

When he could no longer think of a solution, Ao Li reached out and pinched his neck, spitting out a golden inner core from his mouth.

He pondered for a few seconds before stuffing the golden inner core into Zhang Xuezhou's mouth.
