Roar-
A dragon’s roar filled with joy resounded in the water, as if it were the substantial dragon’s might spreading throughout the Water Mansion. The Dragon Girl, who was buried in handling matters, was startled and showed complex emotions in her eyes. The Gui Prime Minister, who was busily rushing around, looked in surprise in the direction the dragon’s might came from.
“Hahaha, excellent!”
At the source of the dragon’s might, a Jiaolong about thirty-six feet long was flying around a laughing teenager. Joy filled every part of the body of both the boy and the dragon.
But Bright Dragon, who had chased after Sen Miao in terms of assessment level, quickly came back to his senses from the joy. He faced Feng Qing’an with his dragon’s head, opened his mouth and spat out a Dragon Sword with a green dragon coiling around it, captured by Feng Qing’an in his hands.
“Sundering Sea Sword!”
Feeling the power nurtured by this divine weapon, Feng Qing’an opened his mouth and exhaled one breath which instantly turned into a wild wind sweeping dozens of feet in front of him. If it weren’t for the special restrictions and protections here, the jade bricks beneath his feet could have been blown away.
This is feedback from the Bright Dragon Armor. Every time the spirits he formed a Soul Contract with shed their skin or grew stronger, a part of it was reflected onto him as the beast tamer.
This time, after devouring the spiritual nature of the Sundering Sea Sword, and being replaced by the Bright Dragon Armor once again acquiring a replenishment of spiritual essence, possessing the power of wind control, Feng Qing’an also received a portion of the gifted feedback, and likewise gained the talent to control the wind, however, compared to the Bright Dragon Armor, it is naturally not on the same level.
But Feng Qing’an didn’t mind. The existence of Bright Dragon Armor is too unique. Everything it has is at Feng Qing’an’s disposal. With the two paired, the wind-controlling talent that Feng Qing’an gained, added to the divine power of the Bright Dragon Armor itself, is even stronger than the pure Sundering Sea Sword.
Roar-
Watching Feng Qing’an, who was holding the Sundering Sea Sword and smiling radiantly, the little Jiaolong revealed a worried look. It knew that the divine weapon it had swallowed was taken from the Dragon Girl by its master, who had promised to look after it.
“Don’t worry, if she can’t assume the position of Water Monarch, it is natural to keep it. Naturally, I should return the sword to her as per the rules. However, if she takes up the position of Water Monarch, it is an exchange. This sword is the price she paid. It’s not too much to exchange a vast river for a divine weapon!”
Feng Qing’an laughed. The position of Water Monarch was secured by the
Dragon Girl. While she verbally disparaged it and didn’t want to be the Water Monarch, wanting to travel the world, when she was handed all the affairs of the Water Monarch, she became more meticulous and responsible than Feng Qing’an, properly handling all the matters.
Arranging for her to refine the water veins, the Dragon Girl was only verbally resistant, but obedient in action. Because she also wanted to truly undertake the responsibilities of the Water Monarch and exercise the rights of the Water
Monarch. Control of the water veins is a must. Otherwise, it would simply be a vain title and a joke.
Roar-
Upon hearing the master’s firm words, the Bright Dragon Armor immediately let go of its concerns. The recently risen anxiety was cast aside, and it once again became lively and joyous.
“Let’s go, follow me to the surface!”
With someone to handle the affairs of the Water Mansion, Feng Qing’an could now sit back. Though the Dragon Girl is not yet efficient, with the assistance of the Gui Prime Minister, there would be no major issues. All he needed to do was supervise and watch from the side, waiting for the Dragon Girl to fully master the water veins, then he could leave.
But if he wanted to truly be at ease, it would require long-term observation. This is not something that can be accomplished in a short while. He needs to come back and check more often when he is free.
For a short period of time, Feng Qing’an had a comfortable time. He toured along the Wave River, removing Water Ghosts and demons that had bred in the water and were causing harm. Occasionally, he would go ashore and visit the villages and county towns built by the Human Race along the water.
Once he came across a situation that was not pleasing to his eyes, such as corrupt officials oppressing the people, Feng Qing’an, who didn’t want trouble and was eager to resolve issues cleanly, naturally drew his sword to slay.
In just under two months, officials from both sides of the Wave River were all panic-stricken. Highway robbery had temporarily become particularly clear.
All county and prefecture officials had become diligent and loved their people. The chaotic, heavy taxes were almost completely reduced, leaving only the formal taxes imposed by the court.
There’s no way around it. There really was a madman in the Wave River who dared to draw his sword and kill. He was the kind who didn’t care about burying; oppressing the people and causing public resentment. This man dared to storm the county government office and devise all kinds of torture, finally beheading the culprits publicly.
There were even unconfirmed reports claiming that this man even had connections with the ghosts and gods of the Underworld. The corrupt officials killed by him couldn’t rest even in death, they would continue to be punished. Their sentence lasted for at least one Jiazi (a 60-year period). Under such intimidations, officials from both banks would find it difficult not to behave.
No official wanted to endure severe punishment while alive or be punished by ghosts after death. The lengthy sentence was simply despairing to hear about. In comparison, it wasn’t too bad to live a hard life relying solely on the salary issued by the court. It’s entirely bearable.
There were officials who wanted to resist and petition the court, wanting the court to send people to suppress this madman. After all, they had studied hard for ten years, topped the list in examinations, and were then sent to govern a region. Teaching the locals, they shouldn’t have to endure such humiliations and be slaughtered like cattle or sheep..
