Chapter 211 - 211: 158: This Dragon Lord, Must Not Be Kept _2
Hearing Nü Luo’s reminder, Feng Qing’an, who had already made some conjectures, remained calm and showed no surprise.
As for what she just remembered, Feng Qing’an considered it nonsense from Nü Luo. If he didn’t know how much cultivation enhanced all aspects of his senses, he might have believed her.
Only a few years had passed, and this goddess had met his elder brother. How could she possibly forget him? She must have guessed his identity the moment she saw him.
“Then I must accept graciously!”
Gazing at the Xuanzhu presented before him, Feng Qing’an broke into a smile. He reached out to receive it and unceremoniously pocketed it without refusal.
The nature of his relationship with the Dragon Lord was clear. After all, his elder brother had slain the Dragon Lord’s own father with a single sword strike. There wasn’t any room for reconciliation.
Though he was unsure why his brother had slayed the Red Dragon, his brother was not one to kill wrongfully. The Red Dragon must have committed some
transgression.
“This is what you deserve, Young Master Feng.”
The River Water Monarch greeted him with a smile, showing no hint of abnormality as if the earlier scene was simply a misunderstanding.
“Yes, it’s indeed what I deserve!”
Feng Qing’an scrutinized the River Water Monarch, who had a smile on his face but was emanating hostility from every part of his body.
[Species: Chi Wen]
[Attributes: Dragon, God, Water] [Potential Level: Monarch•Lower-tier]
[Combat Level: Monarch-Lower-tier]
A king, vastly exceeding his current level. But he was only a lower-tier monarch, so it wasn’t a big problem.
“Dong Huang!” “Hmm?”
“A little dragon is eyeing me!”
“What’s the strength level?”
Feng Qing’an relayed to Dong Huang what he had discovered about him. After listening, the Monarch of You Huang responded in a calm tone.
“When he attacks you, call on my power.”
“Alright!”
After communicating with Dong Huang, Feng Qing’an felt completely at ease. Only then did he turn his attention to the Water Monarch, who was, under Su Family Master’s arrangement, engaged in a lively conversation with many powerful demons, displaying his respect for the learned and virtuous.
Such a show of humility, and the Water Monarch’s refusal to flaunt his power, drew admiration from Feng Qing’an, despite his unfamiliarity with the monarch’s past. This was indeed a significant figure.
This was the first monarch he had ever met who could humble himself and converse with demons of lower status.
In the underworld, those Ghost Kings treated the Lord-level Ghost Creatures below them as if they were directing cattle or horses- -not quite to that extent, but not far off. They would be slightly better towards those Ghost Creatures with the potential to rise to the rank of Ghost King, but would still not be particularly courteous.
The hierarchy was extremely clear. Even though the two Mountain Gods he had met were friendly and easygoing towards powerful demons, they did not regard them as beings of the same level. They looked down on these powerful demons from a position of superiority.
If he didn’t know that this guy’s father was gone- -killed by his own brother–Feng Qing’an wouldn’t mind establishing a relationship with this Water Monarch.
But now, all he could think about was how to kill him. After all, he was a threat.
If this threat led a decadent life, engaging in food, drink and revelry, and didn’t provoke him, Feng Qing’an might have ignored him.
But, he was behaving like a wise and enlightened ruler. What was his intention? Could he be thinking of avenging his father, who was slain by Feng Qing’an’s elder brother?
If so, this Dragon Lord must be eliminated!
He must be executed!
“Doesn’t this guy seem more hypocritical and disgusting the more you look at him?”
The voice of Nü Luo rang out again, unnoticed by anyone, whether it was Black Mountain close by or the Red Leopard beneath the goddess.
“This guy wasn’t like this before his father was killed by your brother. Back then, although he was arrogant and domineering, he was at least real, not hypocritical like he is now. Looking at him makes me feel disgusted.”
“Thank you.”
Feng Qing’an looked at the goddess who lazily napped on top of the Red Leopard and started to laugh.
“I’m only giving you a reminder. After the Su Family’s wedding, I’ll escort you to the human city. Once you’re inside, he wouldn’t dare pursue you. He has already lost his spirit, with this pathetic look, it’s disgusting to even glance at him.”
Nü Luo made no attempt to hide her disdain for the River Water Monarch.
“Alright!”
Feng Qing’an agreed immediately. Although he wanted to deal with that Dragon Lord, he knew that now was not the ideal time. Even with the power of You Huang, he couldn’t be sure of his success.
He could only wait for the opportune moment. It depended on whether the Dragon Lord was willing to give him an opportunity, and if he only cared about preserving his life then he would return to the Bailang River the moment the banquet ended. In that case, Feng Qing’an really wouldn’t be able to do anything about a water god.
The differences in the power of a god on his own territory compared to outside of it were huge. If one wanted to kill a god, the best way would be to lure him away from his territory.
Of course, for some beings, it didn’t matter where they wanted to kill a disliked god.
“If you want to kill him, then wait for a few more years. Though I can’t see through you, it seems like you won’t be able to kill him yet. However, I remember that the growth rate of your human race is absurdly fast. With a bit of patience, he will be at your mercy in the future. Don’t act impulsively now!”
From such close proximity, Nü Luo seemed to have detected some of Feng Qing’an’s thoughts and kindly reminded him. “Hm?”
Feng Qing’an looked at the goddess in surprise.
“Why are you staring at me like that? Don’t expect me to help you.”
“I hadn’t considered that, but…”
“His life or death is none of my concern. However, for a girl like me who loves to sleep, I prefer the quiet. If this pesky fellow dies, it will better. Then he can stop disturbing my sleep.”
“A girl?!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but lower his head to sip his wine. This goddess, ah… The Mountain god of Green Python Mountain is at least 1500 years old, so as a fellow Mountain god, this goddess is several hundreds of years old at the least, probably even older.
“What are you thinking?”
“Nothing!”
Feng Qing’an looked up at the wedding that was disrupted but now continued in proper order. However, among the guests, only a few had their attention on the Fox Clan newlyweds.
“Is he trying to inquire about me from those great monsters?”
Feng Qing’an squinted his eyes. The Dragon Lord who was seated among the great monsters did not say anything, he just listened. However, the great monsters were all guessing his background.
Feng Qing’an didn’t believe that the Dragon Lord didn’t have a hand in this. The Dragon Lord, being a king, could lead the conversation with just a few words.
“It’s pretty normal for him to inquire about you, haven’t I told you about him as well?”
Nü Luo said lazily.
“Those monsters…
“Don’t worry about them. They pose no threat to you. They are old monsters who have lived for several hundred years. There are no fools among them.”
“Hmm!”
Feng Qing’an’s mind was mostly occupied by the Water Monarch. He didn’t pay much attention to the manv novelties at the Fox Clan’s led wedding. BV the time the wedding ended and the newlyweds retired to their bridal chamber, he was barely aware of what was happening, and casually chatted with Nü Luo.
When it got late, Feng Qing’an returned to his courtyard. The entire Su Mansion was still lively and bustling. The monsters had much more energy than humans and wouldn’t get tired even from partying for days and nights. They were still in high spirits.
“Young Master Feng!”
As Feng Qing’an had just sat down to relax, he saw the old fox hastily coming to visit him. It was clear from his exhausted appearance that he made time to meet Feng Qing’an in his busy schedule. His fur looked even grayer than before, showing that he had been quite worn out these past few days. “May I ask if you are planning to leave?”
“Indeed, I’ve seen quite a few things at your Su Family event today. Now, it’s time to move on and explore elsewhere..”
