Fourth Prince Xiao Yu suffers from a strange illness. When it acts up, he feels intensely ashamed and his heart becomes extremely humble. Even when his "moonlight" shines on him, he shrinks...
Chapter 360 Everyone is a guest
Although Xu Chuchu and the others thought that every black dragon looked the same, they could definitely tell each other apart, such as whose face was squarer, whose thighs were thicker, and so on.
At this time, Sect Leader Feng could only keep pretending to turn her head and lick her scales, trying to hide her dragon face.
More and more servants gathered on the field, and they didn't know why there was a missing position. They wanted to ask more questions but didn't dare to offend the Black Dragon, so they just gathered together to talk in a low voice and ask each other.
They really locked onto Master Feng.
Because the other dragons either flew in from the city wall or came from behind the giant dragon, only Master Feng squeezed out from the crowd.
However, the black dragon still had a strong deterrent effect on the humans here. They hesitated for a long time before sending a representative to negotiate.
The man humbly bowed before asking Xiao Yu, who was standing at the front, in the most respectful and polite tone, "Excuse me, but may I ask, is this honorable Lord Dragon God also a guest of this celebration?"
Celebration? They didn't even know what a celebration was.
Xiao Yu was just about to brush it off when the huge black dragon sleeping in the middle suddenly moved and moved its claws.
The visitor immediately stopped asking questions and knelt down.
Everyone present, including the people watching from afar, knelt down, and some even knocked their heads on the ground, as if welcoming the emperor.
Xu Chuchu and his group also hurried to join in to avoid attracting attention.
The dragon woke up from its dream and slowly stretched out its huge body. Everyone could see clearly that its neck was stretched out and its body was as tall as the city wall. Its wings spread out almost covered the sky.
It opened its dragon mouth, and a rumbling sound came out as soon as it opened.
"Everyone who comes is a guest. You don't need to ask too many questions."
You're really talking about Xu Chuchu and the others!
The voice of this dragon was very similar to that of the dragon prince's heir they had encountered before, but it was more steady and powerful.
And even though it was asleep, it knew of their intrusion early on.
But it doesn't matter. Since it didn't expose them right away and even woke up to "help" them, they'll just take it one step at a time.
When the Dragon King spoke, the servant who had just asked them questions almost burst into tears. He quickly bowed to them and retreated.
The others were busy setting up another place for the innocent black dragon to rest.
After everything was ready, someone ran to the edge of the venue and started beating the drums.
"The 247th World Dragon King Worship Ceremony begins!—"
As soon as the music started, a large group of musicians outside the venue immediately started playing instruments and singing. The tunes were festive and cheerful, just like the New Year.
But they all played their own tunes, without any unity, and the mixed sounds were indistinguishable from noise. However, the black dragons seemed to enjoy listening to them, and some even wagged their tails.
After the music ended, another man dressed as an attendant came forward and gave an impassioned speech, in which he simply thanked the Dragon King for his protection and for our devout offerings.
The black dragon in the middle of the whole process did not react at all, as if it had already gotten used to this process.
Yes, for more than two hundred years, humans have changed from generation to generation, but there may only be one dragon.
"Now, let's move on to the most important part of our celebration!" the attendant shouted, "Please, all the chosen warriors, step forward!"
Hearing this, Xu Chuchu and the others were dumbfounded again. Warriors? What kind of trick is this?
The Red Dragon Queen has seven warriors, does that mean the Black Dragon has some too?
At this time, the black dragon in each pit designated one of the servants beside him and walked to the center of the venue.
Do they need it too?
Seeing several servants next door talking around Long, Xu Chuchu immediately moved over there quietly.
"...Lord Dragon God, if he doesn't win this year, can you choose me next year?" someone said.
"Please choose me, Lord Dragon God! None of them has ever beaten me in practice!" another person pleaded even more.
"We won the duel, and you, you have a lot of honor."
After Xu Chuchu finished his investigation, he quickly came back to report: "We need a duel, we need a duel!"
"I'll go." Xiao Yu seemed to have guessed it and agreed without surprise.
Seeing that those people were unarmed, he took off the Cang Yun Sword and gave it to Xu Chuchu for safekeeping.
Xu Chuchu did not object. Xiao Yu was indeed the most suitable candidate among them. He was a man and was capable of fighting even without using spiritual power.
I just don't know what the punishment is for losing the duel, and what the reward is for winning.
"Be careful, this is not a duel you are sure to win, just do it for the sake of showing your respect." She whispered.
"I know what's going on." Xiao Yu's face was serious, but his hand tickled her wrist.
Xu Chuchu slapped it away: "You are free."
Seeing that most people had gathered, Xiao Yu rushed over. After taking two steps, the giant dragon in his middle suddenly stood up!
It unleashed a powerful pressure that made Xu Chuchu and Shu Yu's knees go weak.
If Master Feng had not been supported in time, he would have fallen to his knees.
What's going on?
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Wanqing had no idea. Neither did the other attendants around her.
Looking at Xiao Yu again, his body was trembling slightly, and he had finally managed to stand still. It was obvious that he was affected just like Xu Chuchu and Shu Yu.
Are only people with cultivation affected?
"Foreigners are not allowed to participate." The dragon's rumbling voice sounded again, "Except for those I designate, no one can use spiritual power in the city."
Does it feel it?
When you are on someone else's territory, you must abide by their rules.
Xiao Yu slowly retreated.
"Is it finally my turn?" Xia Wanqing chuckled. "After being a burden all this time, I can finally make a difference."
Among them, the only one who can fight but has no cultivation is Xia Wanqing.
Without waiting for others to say anything, she put on her hood to conceal her female identity and blended straight into the group of warriors.
He moved so quickly as if he was afraid of being stopped.
"This girl is so brave, is there really any problem?" Sect Leader Feng was a little surprised.
Xu Chuchu smiled bitterly: "She must have been pent up all this time, so it's a good opportunity to let out some steam."
"She's not going for the top spot, is she? There's no need for that." Shu Yu suddenly realized the truth. "Isn't it bad for us to be so high-profile?"
"It doesn't matter. The Black Dragon already knows of our existence. Let her take it if she wants." Xu Chuchu said.
Xiao Yu stood behind the two of them, wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent.
No, the fight hasn't even started yet. Have these two people already determined that Xia Wanqing will win?
He was still thinking about how they would rescue Xia Wanqing if she was injured.
In the center of the clearing, seventeen warriors formed a team of sixteen people in four rows and four columns... and one unlucky guy who was left alone.
Of course, Xia Wanqing was not the unlucky one, as she had already quietly blended into the crowd.
She is a little shorter, which makes her less conspicuous.
"The duel format is an elimination match, with sixteen to eight, eight to four, four to two, and finally the final." A servant announced the rules.
"The final winner will receive the Dragon King's reward and become the Lord of Blackwater City for the next year!"
…
I'm asking for leave. I'll only update one chapter today and will be back tomorrow. I have a bad cold and can't breathe at all. You must wear thick clothes to keep warm in winter.
I'm a bit poor recently, so I sent you a small one. It's from the same place, you know what I mean. The slogan is "Put on more clothes in winter."
