Either Don't Do It, or Do It Well

"Dragon Ancestor, it seems you've been waiting for me all along."

Looking at Long Yi, Longwang Clan said directly.

"I didn't."

Long Yi spoke up:

"If you're not going to say anything, I'm really going to send you away."

"This dragon is old and has very little energy; it can't withstand your back-and-forth movements."

After saying this, Long Yi made a move to send the Longwang Clan away again.

"No."

Longwang Clan spoke up, looking at Long Yi, and said:

"Since the Dragon Race want to know the details, then I won't hide anything from them."

"But before I speak, I have one request."

Long Yi nodded:

"I understand. Matters of great importance, and other matters, will naturally not be discussed with other dragons. I am quite clear about that."

"Not this one," Longwang Clan said.

Long Yi countered:

What is that?

Longwang Clan Path:

"The Dragon Ancestor needs to promise me first that he will cooperate with me on one thing."

"What is it?" Long Yi asked in return.

"I'll only tell you what it is Dragon Ancestor agrees."

Long Yi gave Longwang Clan a deep look, then suddenly smiled, and then...

Then, just like before, he simply watched without saying a word.

Longwang Clan's voice faltered.

At this moment, Long Yi laughed heartily:

Okay, I'm just teasing you.

"Anything is fine as long as it's not an unreasonable request."

"Speak."

Longwang Clan gave Long Yi a deep look before saying:

"Actually, Dragon Ancestor, you guessed correctly."

Upon hearing this, Long Yi's smile deepened, and he nodded, saying:

"Old ginger is always spicier."

"Tell me in detail, and see if there's anything that differs from my guess." Long Yi looked very interested.

The Longwang Clan did not rush to answer, but instead asked:

"Dragon Ancestor, you don't care?"

Long Yi countered with a question:

"What's the use of me caring?"

"Are we just going to Atavism?"

As he spoke, Long Yi gently shook his head:

"Judging from the appearance of these dragons in the clan, these Atavism are probably not something I can simply discard."

Longwang Clan nodded, not saying anything more about the topic, and began to tell Long Yi the general situation.

Long Yi listened Jingjing.

After the Longwang Clan finished explaining the whole story, he said:

"So, the person doing all this right now is actually just a rich kid?"

Longwang Clan thought for a moment and nodded:

"Indeed."

"That's different from what I expected."

After a pause, Long Yi glanced at the Longwang Clan:

"As for this 'strong generation,' you only mentioned 'Lu Lulu,' and said that his current strength is very strong, beyond your ability to handle. If I'm not mistaken, the matter of the inscription on the egg should be related to him, right?"

Longwang Clan was slightly taken aback, not expecting Long Yi to bring up this topic again.

Just as he finished being stunned, he heard Long Yi say:

"Alright, I already have the answer."

"Let's not talk about sad things. Tell me, what are the attitudes of the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise towards this powerful second-generation heir?"

Longwang Clan thought for a moment:

"The Vermilion Bird Race was the first to reap the benefits. Now that senior has arranged for his disciples to cultivate within their clan, their attitude is naturally fine. However, whether it's truly from the heart remains to be seen."

"The Black Tortoise Race has long been rumored to Tianming Person, but judging from the situation, it's very likely that they're just using him as a scapegoat. Their alliance with Bai Po that day clearly indicates their intentions."

Long Yi nodded:

"Given the current situation, it was the right thing for you not to insist further."

"Otherwise, if all three races benefit, and this continues for a while, my Dragon Race will inevitably be excluded."

"At that time, the Human Race will be eyeing us covetously, and the Beast Race will have nowhere to turn for support. Once the conflict between the two sides erupts, our Dragon Race will inevitably bear the brunt."

Longwang Clan nodded.

He had considered all of these things, although they were attempts to make amends after making compromises.

But that's indeed the logic.

Whether the Atavism offspring can truly lead them back to their former glory, as legend has it, is not a promise, but merely a claim that has been pursued for so long that its veracity is uncertain.

But whether it's true or not, if it really exists, it will inevitably change the current balance of power among the Beast Race.

The fact that the Atavism offspring are created by the same person further disrupts this balance.

Putting everything else aside, just because they had early contact and were able to communicate, Bai Po's status and position were subtly elevated to a higher level than theirs.

Not to mention anything else.

As Longwang Clan was pondering this, Long Yi suddenly asked:

"Is Bai Po's story from the White Tiger Clan true, or did you and he make it up?"

Longwang Clan snapped out of his daze, as if remembering something, and asked:

"Is the Dragon Ancestor referring to more Atavism offspring?"

Long Yi nodded.

Longwang Clan shook his head:

"Elder Lu certainly didn't say that, but given his speed, hatching Atavism cub probably wouldn't be a difficult task for him."

Long Yi nodded without speaking, seemingly lost in thought.

The Longwang Clan waited Jingjing.

Finally, at a certain moment, Long Yi asked:

"By the way, what was that thing you asked me to promise you before?"

When the topic turned to serious matters, the Longwang Clan immediately became more attentive.

After trying to organize his thoughts, Longwang Clan said:

"Elder Lu has a disciple who now wants to wear the Ten Thousand Scale Armor and stand on the Armor Forging Platform."

After listening, Long Yi looked at the Longwang Clan:

"The Armor Forging Platform is not under my jurisdiction. Do I need to agree to such a thing?"

He had long since ceased to be in charge of the clan's specific affairs. Now, without his consent, was the Dragon Emperor of the Longwang Clan incapable of doing this?

At this moment, Longwang Clan smiled helplessly:

"Dragon Ancestor, according to Elder Lu, wherever this Ten Thousand Scale Armor was formed, that place is the Armor Forging Platform, therefore,"

"Where did the Ten Thousand Scale Armor originate...?!"

Long Yi rolled his eyes upwards and said:

"Doesn't that mean it's on my head?!"

Longwang Clan nodded:

"So, we really need your agreement to do this."

After speaking, Longwang Clan carefully observed Long Yi's reaction.

"No wonder."

Long Yi gently shook his head:

Why don't you ask him to stand on your head?

"It's probably because of the Ten Thousand Scale Armor," said Longwang Clan.

"If I had known this would Ten Thousand Scale Armor, I would have..."

As he spoke, Long Yi paused, then suddenly asked:

"He didn't specify that it had to be within the Dragon Race or in some other setting, right?"

Longwang Clan thought for a moment, then shook his head:

No, that's not the case.

"Then this matter won't trouble you."

Long Yi immediately perked up:

"Find a place where no one else is around, and let him go up there. As long as no one knows, he can stay as long as he wants."

Longwang Clan stared at Long Yi in disbelief:

"Dragon Ancestor, you... don't object to this?"

He had thought this would be incredibly troublesome, but it had gone so smoothly. At this moment, he had only one feeling:

This is so unreal!

Whether or not it's rejected, that's not that important.

Long Yi said:

"Some things are better left undone or done well; it's better not to ally at all than to ally incompletely."
