Chapter 355: Taishui Dragon King’s “ex-wife”?

Although Kunlun Hill is an island, its area is not small.

In fact, it is an archipelago. The largest island seems like a towering tree rising straight from the sea. There are high cliffs on all sides of the island, and the shortest cliff is twenty or thirty feet above the sea.

This is even more true of the islands that are dotted around. Each one is like a pillar suddenly inserted into the sea, and none of them has a beach or a mudflat. Looking from the sky, the archipelago is long and thin, as if it is wrapped up in layers around the main island.

Rather than calling Kunlun Hill a "hill", it is more accurate to say it is a "cliff". I don't know how this name came about.

After passing through the sea covered with thunderstorms and clouds, Kunlun Hill is within reach.

Huairen and Baili Shuang landed on the northwest side of the main island of Kunlun Hill. There was little vegetation in this place, with rugged rocks and raging sea breezes. It was very desolate and there was no human habitation to be seen anywhere.

When they flew near a stone mountain, Baili Shuang was surprised to find that there was a tall building standing on the stone mountain!

The shape of this building is very similar to the ancient European castles on the blue planet, but the style is completely different. It is a complex of buildings made up of many colorful minerals that have been polished and piled up, and several square houses tightly pieced together.

These houses are all close together, and at first glance they look like one building, but in fact they are more than a dozen houses of different sizes leaning against each other, with different heights and staggered layout, which has its own unique beauty.

The tallest house was at least a hundred feet high. The upper part had no walls but was supported by several golden pillars. It was surrounded by a layer of hazy mist barrier that made it difficult to see the inside. The lower part was built with colorful ore.

Some houses simply don't use minerals, but are supported entirely by pillars and are surrounded by barriers - these barriers are maintained by formations, which are quite similar to the one-way transparent glass used in modern high-rise buildings on Blue Star. Not only do they ensure privacy, but more importantly, the formations and barriers do not isolate air circulation.

Of course, the maintenance cost of this method is also very high, and it is not used much in monastic sects. For the Taiyin Sect, it is even less worth using than glass.

When you get closer, you can see female cultivators moving back and forth between the houses, but you can't see a "dragon" at all!

When he saw this building earlier, Huairen told Baili Shuang that this was the Colored Stone Palace of King Yinglong. However, Baili Shuang had seen many dragons in the Crystal Palace of King Taishui, and thought that the dragons were too proud to show themselves in human form. When he saw the Colored Stone Palace, he was naturally surprised: "Where King Yinglong lives, everyone walks in human form?"

Huairen explained in a low voice: "King Yinglong has a strange personality. She likes human clothes and jewelry, so she transforms into a human form all year round. Most of the cultivators living in her Caishi Palace... uh, also follow her."

The two of them were talking in private without slowing down their flight, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the arched gate of the Colored Stone Palace.

It is called a door, but in fact it is an extremely rare arched "archway" made of large pieces of irregular colored minerals. It has neither the eaves of conventional archways nor several doorways. It is just a bare arched "doorframe" with a plaque hanging on it. The plaque has three characters written in an extremely complex language.

Baili Shuang should not have recognized this kind of characters, but she felt inexplicably familiar with them. Then, as if she had been instilled with some knowledge, she recognized that the three words were exactly "Cai Shi Palace".

It was a pity that she came to Kunlun Hill alone this time, without bringing any players with her. She quickly forgot about this little episode and didn't take it to heart. If the members of the Flower Planting Family project team who were responsible for the history and literature research of the Guixu Realm saw it, they would probably be shocked, because it was almost exactly the same as the bronze inscriptions from the pre-Qin period!

Before they even got close, a sharp-eyed female cultivator was the first to notice the two. She squinted her eyes and looked at Huairen carefully, then her face showed surprise and joy: "You are... the boy from the Taishui Dragon King's family!?"

Huairen didn't recognize the female cultivator, but he could tell her identity from her voice. He was also a little surprised: "Cousin? Why are you here?"

Baili Shuang felt something was wrong when she heard the two address each other like this - Huairen was a Kuilong, and Huairen's cousin must have at least Kuilong blood, but she actually lived here with King Yinglong. Logically, King Yinglong and King Taishui should have a good relationship...

But the secretive look in Taishui Dragon Palace at that time was not fake...

Baili Shuang couldn't help but feel more and more confused.

The female cultivator replied, "Your mother has not been feeling well lately, so I came to give her some medicinal herbs."

Huairen suddenly became anxious and asked, "Why is my mother unwell?!"

"She went to the Five Color Formation with King Yinglong a while ago, and together they killed several evil beasts that had been wandering in the Five Color Formation for too long, and she was accidentally injured."

Just as he said this, Huairen was about to rush into the Caishi Palace. The female cultivator quickly stopped him and said, "Don't panic, it's just a minor injury. It will be fine after half a year of recovery. You don't have to worry too much."

Huairen heaved a sigh of relief and began to introduce Baili Shuang and the female cultivator to each other: "Aunt, this is Baili Shuang, a disciple of Taiyin Sect. Fellow Daoist Baili, you have come to Caishi Palace to pay a visit to Yinglong King.

"Fellow Daoist Baili, this is my aunt, Kui Lingjun."

Baili Shuang, who was watching the whole thing on the side, had not yet had time to retract her expression of listening with great interest. She was suddenly looked at by the two and almost choked on her saliva for a moment.

She smiled awkwardly: "Ahaha, I'm glad to meet you, Taoist Lingjun."

Kui Lingjun could tell at a glance that Baili Shuang's cultivation was not very high, but he did not see that she was a puppet. He thought that she was a little nervous, so he smiled soothingly and nodded, "Daoyou Baili, you have worked hard to come from afar. Yinglong Wang is called Jinyi, and she happens to be in Caishi Palace recently. If you are not in a hurry, take a day off first. I will take you to find her tomorrow."

Huairen knew that Baili Shuang was a little anxious, but he still didn't respond without permission. He just turned his head and looked at Baili Shuang inquiringly.

Baili Shuang originally wanted to meet King Yinglong immediately, but then he changed his mind and realized that the events of Tiangui Mountain happened a thousand years ago and there was no need to rush. It would be impolite to come and visit and meet the host right away.

Furthermore, from what Huairen and Kui Lingjun said, it seemed that Huairen's biological mother, the "ex-wife" of Taishui Dragon King, was in Caishi Palace. Maybe they arranged this so that Huairen could see his mother first. It would be even worse for her to be so tactless and insist on looking for Yinglong King immediately. She nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Taoist Lingjun."
