Chapter 133: Shocked Ao Bing's 133rd Day of Game Creation...
This dragon was much larger than when Ao Bing first set sail. When it manifested in its true form, Ao Bing almost filled the entire sky.
Ao Bing, both shocked and furious, showed no restraint whatsoever, even emanating the aura of the Ancestral Dragon from his body.
In an instant, the waves of the four seas became still, and not even the wind could be heard.
In this silence, Ao Bing's words were particularly audible.
Even Nezha, who was so engrossed in the heroic tales that he couldn't hear anything else, was startled awake by this overly familiar tone.
"Lingzhuzi?" Nezha murmured the name subconsciously, his heart trembling slightly, feeling that the name was really beautiful.
When I said the name, even the usually hideous dragon in front of me seemed a little cute. But for some reason, I just had an itch to throw the Qiankun Ring at the dragon's head.
However, this moment of distraction allowed Nezha to break free from his initial mindset of having to fight, and the familiar tone piqued Nezha's curiosity.
"You know me?" Nezha suppressed his murderous aura and looked the giant dragon in front of him up and down. The pure curiosity of a child naturally emerged.
He put away the Qiankun Ring and looked the truly majestic dragon up and down. He couldn't recall where he had seen it before, and asked curiously, "Who is Lingzhuzi? Do we know each other?"
Ao Bing's anger was extinguished by Nezha's completely incomprehensible actions.
Seeing that Nezha had no intention of fighting, he became too lazy to struggle anymore and returned to human form, lazily drooping his eyes.
Anyway, since I was being chased and beaten by Lingzhuzi when I was studying at Wuzhuang Temple, Lord Yuanyi has seen it countless times, so it's not shameful for me to continue being chased and beaten now.
However, he had never seen Lingzhuzi in human form before, and he looked curiously at the five-headed, silver-haired, white-faced child.
His face was nothing special, but the blood-red aura and murderous intent emanating from his body were completely undeniable.
Ao Bing gasped, "You were taken by Goddess Nuwa to beat up the great demon, how come you have such a strong killing intent?"
"Could he have really fallen into the demonic path?!"
After all, they had studied together at Wuzhuang Temple, and moreover, they had gone through hardships together under Kong Xuan. Ao Bing still cared about Lingzhu's current situation.
“You mustn’t fall into demonic ways. Senior Brother hates people of the demonic path the most. If he finds out, he might capture you and give you a good hard time.” Ao Bing circled around Nezha. “Besides, this is not a good path. If you get involved, you might face many hardships in the future. Forget about becoming a celestial official, you might not even be able to go through the path of reincarnation.”
Nezha didn't understand what Ao Bing was saying at all, and was completely confused, but he could still hear the concern in Ao Bing's words.
Nezha was, after all, a six-year-old child, and his mind was simple. Although he had heard some rumors from the streets, after being treated so affectionately by Ao Bing, the unpleasantness of the previous fierce battle with the other side was instantly forgotten, and he naturally became close to Ao Bing.
Now he completely let down his guard, even the flames of his Wind and Fire Wheels weren't as imposing anymore, and he asked purely out of curiosity, "I don't know what you're talking about, who is Ling Zhuzi? Do I know you?"
Ao Bing was speechless, his words stuck in his throat. He wanted to scold Ling Zhu for learning this trick from somewhere, for pretending to be stupid after doing something bad, which was really infuriating.
But seeing Nezha's sincere expression, which did not seem fake at all, Ao Bing became confused. Could it be that he had mistaken Nezha for someone else?
But that familiar force, that familiar Samadhi Fire—he swore on his dragon head, which had been hammered by Lingzhuzi thousands of times, that this was definitely that guy Lingzhuzi!
Fortunately, Yuan Yi, who was watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, thoughtfully reminded them: "Ling Zhu Zi has already been reincarnated."
However, his life was extraordinary; he committed 1,700 acts of killing, one of which involved you, but fortunately, he survived it safely this time.
Yuan Yi's voice rang out, and Ao Bing realized that the communication tool he was using was still within its time limit.
He initially thought that the Goddess Nuwa had given Lingzhuzi a new human skin, but he never expected that it was a true reincarnation.
But before they could recover from the shock of Lingzhuzi's reincarnation, they learned of the prophecy that their reincarnations, along with Mingzhuzi's, were destined for a life of murder.
Ao Bing's heart, which had finally calmed down, was shaken again, and he even began to dislike the fair-skinned, round-faced child. With a wave of his hand, another wave of water surged towards Nezha.
Nezha narrowly avoided the attack, bewildered as to why the dragons, who had been speaking so politely just moments before, would suddenly launch an attack.
Children's tempers are inherently unpredictable, and this easily triggered their anger.
Fortunately, Ao Bing explained the reason first: "You little devil, I treated you as a friend, and you actually wanted to kill me."
Although he knew it was fate and couldn't be blamed on Lingzhu, Ao Bing thought of how Nezha had just tried to kill him, and then recalled what Lord Yuanyi had just said—it was a deep-seated grudge.
He knew that he was destined to clash with Lingzhuzi. Lingzhuzi had been chasing after him in Wuzhuang Temple because of Nuwa's favor. Even after reincarnation, Lingzhuzi still came to the East Sea to find him and undergo a tribulation.
What sins did Ao Bing commit to provoke that scoundrel Lingzhuzi?
In a moment of excitement, he inevitably resorted to violence. However, it was just some minor moves, like playing around. He didn't succeed in his first move and didn't pursue the matter any further, leaving the well-prepared Nezha empty-handed.
Nezha was initially angry, but seeing that Ao Bing was even angrier than him, and remembering how he had chased after Ao Bing and kept hitting him at the beginning, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
"If we were truly friends, I would naturally not lay a hand on you," Nezha assured him, patting his chest.
After all, the heroic tales in the restaurant say that heroes should be loyal and righteous. As a hero, one should not lay a hand on one's friends unless the friend is an extremely wicked person.
However, Nezha had very high standards; anyone who could be his friend couldn't be a bad person. Besides, his intuition told him that this dragon meant him no harm.
"I'm not Lingzhuzi, I'm Nezha. Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?" Realizing that he could be considered a friend to the person opposite him, Nezha promptly introduced himself. "What's your name?"
"Nezha, I understand." Ao Bing said listlessly, "I am Ao Bing."
"As for Lingzhuzi, he was a pageboy in front of the Goddess Nuwa, and also your previous life. I once took classes with him."
As for anything else, that's it; it's just a casual acquaintance from attending classes together. After hearing that Lingzhuzi, after being reincarnated, would seek him out for a life-or-death tribulation, Ao Bing unilaterally declared that he was severing ties with Lingzhuzi. He simply didn't have a friend who would relentlessly pursue him like that.
Ao Bing didn't even want to deal with Nezha anymore; he just wanted to send Nezha back to the East Sea to stay there.
But Nezha is now completely captivated by Ao Bing's revelation of his past life, which was that of a page under the goddess Nuwa.
He knew that this person must be a hero from a storybook, someone extraordinary even in his past life, and that his friend from that past life was now his friend. As friends, naturally, they should treat each other well.
Nezha completely ignored Ao Bing's cold face and said seriously, "So we knew each other in our past lives, but I am Nezha now, not Lingzhuzi. Don't call me by the wrong name next time."
"Since we are friends, can you tell me where that evil demon who forcibly captures little demons is? I want to catch the evil demon and rid the people of this scourge!" Nezha confirmed his friendship with his first words, and then sincerely asked while tightly gripping the Universe Ring.
Since Ao Bing could be on good terms with him, who was under Nuwa's command in his previous life, he must not be a villain. Nezha trusted his own judgment.
Then I must have come to the wrong place. The East Sea is so vast, who knows how long it would take to find it if I kept searching. It would be better to ask Ao Bing, who lives in the East Sea, to save myself some trouble.
A wicked demon who forcibly captures lesser demons? Upon hearing the keywords, Ao Bing instantly perked up.
There are actually such people who disregard the rules of heaven even beneath the East Sea. They are just like Nezha, committing all sorts of evil deeds and disregarding the rules of heaven.
"Tell me what happened," Ao Bing said, straightening his expression. Such a heinous incident would not be allowed to happen in the East Sea.
Besides, capturing more evil demons during the Heavenly Court's leadership transition is also a political achievement. Even a small mosquito is still meat, and Ao Bing doesn't want to miss out.
Nezha scratched his head: "I don't know either. I only know that it's in this area. Xiao Yu told me that."
“Look, the little fish are right on the shore.” Nezha pointed in the distance, and Ao Bing indeed saw more than a dozen immature cubs on the shore in the distance.
Knowing that there were evil demons here, they still left all the cubs aside. Even the reincarnated spirit pearl was so reckless.
Ao Bing thought to himself, but his body betrayed him as he followed Nezha to find the so-called little fish.
Upon learning the truth, Ao Bing was completely enraged: "...You mean you came here and caused a ruckus in the East Sea Dragon Palace just because of a rumor told by a three-year-old child???"
Ao Bing was so angry he almost fainted. What evil demon's abode? That disobedience would lead to being captured? This was clearly just a bunch of nonsense from the sea dwellers to scare children.
As for the glittering treasures, the entire East Sea Dragon Palace is made of colorful glazed tiles, adorned with pearls and corals, making it naturally sparkle.
Then Nezha came to the East Sea to cause trouble for him because of this unfounded rumor, and even almost committed a murder.
Although he knew there must be a destiny behind this, Ao Bing was still so angry about this absurd reason that he didn't know what to do.
He pointed at Nezha, wanting to ask if he was also a three-year-old child who could believe such an absurd rumor. But when he thought that Nezha was only three years old when he was reincarnated, he suddenly didn't know what to do, even if he wanted to scold him.
It's just that Lingzhuzi, whether before or after his reincarnation, possessed extraordinary abilities, which even led to children making a huge fuss in the East Sea by taking rumors seriously.
Ao Bing clutched his chest, pointing at Nezha, completely losing his composure and the haughty demeanor he had displayed as the Third Prince of the East Sea at the beginning.
"So this is the Dragon Palace of the East Sea." Nezha smiled shyly, knowing that he and Xiaoyu must have made a fool of themselves.
After all, he had heard of the reputation of the East Sea Dragon Palace from his father, and the East Sea Dragon Palace, which was governed by the Heavenly Court's rules, would naturally not do such a heinous thing.
"Yes, I am the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, a fourth-rank official of the Heavenly Court." Ao Bing snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and once again summoned the seal granted by the Heavenly Court to verify his identity.
"As the Crown Prince of the East Sea, I now have a serious discussion with you about this disturbance in the East Sea."

Guess what Ao Bing is going to do?
