Chapter 66
commit a sin!
He didn't have much spiritual power to begin with, and he had just recovered some, but was still disturbed by this idiot. Now, he had to cast a spell to wake Li Dali up.
What a sin, what a sin.
The old Dragon King waved his hand, and a silver-white magical power shot into Li Dali's forehead.
Soon, Li Dali opened his eyes, a little dazed, but after seeing the old Dragon King's angry face, he immediately got up from the ground, crawled on the ground, and begged for mercy with a trembling voice: "Dragon-Dragon King, please forgive me."
"If you mention these two words again, I will throw you to be used as sea fertilizer!" The old dragon king said this with a glare and a beard. He really couldn't stand it anymore and shouted again: "You are going to say it or not! Ah?"
"Say, say, I'll tell you," Li Dali shrank his neck and raised his head, his eyes wandering, "What did I say?"
"Carp-da-li!"
After a burst of angry shouts, a scream came from the territory of the Carp Spirit Clan—
The fish spirit, which had not yet taken shape, was scared and ran around everywhere.
Not long after, the old Dragon King flashed out from the carp spirit's territory and turned back in the direction he came from.
On the way, he obviously felt tired. He couldn't help it just now, and used his magic power to beat Li Dali. Fortunately, the carp spirit clan advocated the use of force. Li Dali thought that he had lost, and if he lost, he should admit everything, so he escaped completely like pouring beans.
If he had known this would happen, he would have just beaten him up.
The carp spirits deserved a beating, which left a deep impression on the old Dragon King.
Arriving at Worry-Free Island, the old Dragon King held his waist with both hands, sweating profusely, his face slightly pale, and was taking a short rest behind a huge reef.
Deng Ru sensed it when he stepped into the mermaid's territory. He stood on a high reef not far away, looking at the wheezing old dragon king, and fell into deep thought.
For the gods, going back and forth from Worry-Free Island to the Carp Clan's territory was not a labor-intensive task at all. However, the old Dragon King's face turned visibly pale, and he looked tired, with both his feet shaking. This clearly indicated that he was not strong enough.
So, what about his magical power?
What happened to the dragon tribe? For the mermaid tribe, now is a good time to take revenge.
Looking at the old Dragon King's condition, I'm afraid I don't even need to do anything. The human wave tactics will be enough to tire the old Dragon King half to death. Add to that the coward Ao Zhuozhi, isn't this definitely help from heaven?
The right time, the right place and the right people are all there.
how?
Isn’t this God’s blessing?
Why did God bless the mermaids this time?
Isn't this a deep pit?
You tricked the mermaids ten thousand years ago, and now you want to trick them again?
Deng Ru raised his lips. The mermaids had been dormant for thousands of years, so they wouldn't be in a hurry for this. They would wait and see what happened to the dragons. There was no hurry. There was no hurry at all.
He flashed and appeared in front of the old dragon king. The old dragon king obviously didn't sense his presence. When he appeared, the old dragon king was startled, but soon, the old dragon king coughed lightly to cover it up, and changed the subject with an evasive look: "Excuse me, I came here for the Heavenly Book."
This time, the old Dragon King's attitude was obviously even more lenient.
Deng Ru smiled: "I'm so sorry, Dragon King, I don't want to borrow it."
The old Dragon King was not annoyed at all. He also laughed and said, "Well, then why do you want to borrow it?"
"Unless..." Deng Ru looked at the old Dragon King, raised a meaningful smile, and then waved his hand in the air, the mist dissipated, and the real Worry-Free Island emerged behind him. Spring was warm and flowers were blooming, and the four seasons were full of life. Some mermaids were basking in the sun on the shore, and some were playing and chasing each other, very comfortable. They had colorful hair and wore colorful gauze. Who said that the sparkling waves can only be on the sea level? As long as there are mermaids, dead trees can also have spring.
Deng Ru retracted his gaze and continued what he had just said: "Make a confession of guilt to the mermaid tribe!"
What?
The old dragon king's eyes widened, and then Deng Ru opened his mouth again. He said, "Perform a great ceremony of self-repentance and utter a divine spell to the Heaven: From now on, you will never offend the mermaids! Return all the territories of the mermaids, and perform three great ceremonies to my father."
Deng Ru never thought that the old Dragon King would agree. To be precise, he was waiting for the old Dragon King to get angry so that he would have an excuse to drive him out and have a good reason to start a war.
Who would have thought that the old Dragon King didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he was looking down in deep thought. Deng Ru thought it was funny, was he thinking about agreeing to him? Come on, he didn't believe it. He should be thinking about how to humiliate the mermaids.
However, since he could come up with such excessive conditions, he definitely had a chance of winning. After all, he could beat the current Dragon King with just one finger, and there was also a coward in the Dragon Palace.
Ten thousand years have passed, so Deng Ru was not in a hurry at all. He did not urge the old Dragon King at all, giving him enough time to think slowly.
As for the mermaids, what they are best at is waiting.
Unexpectedly, the old Dragon King did not follow the normal approach. After pondering for a while, he agreed to his unreasonable request.
Deng Ru was surprised and puzzled, and there was something wrong with the way he looked at the old Dragon King.
What exactly is this old Dragon King researching?
Deng Ru didn’t look at the old Dragon King with a very good look.
The old Dragon King didn't care. He smiled, a smile without any meaning. He said, "I was just thinking about how to write a statement of guilt. I prepared a simple statement. I will read it to you first. You can take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be changed."
This seems to sound very thoughtful.
"Okay," Deng Ru agreed immediately. He wanted to see what the old Dragon King was up to.
The old Dragon King clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then smiled at Deng Ru. He lowered his eyes a little embarrassedly, but he still spoke: "Ten thousand years ago, I, the Dragon King Ao Duo, was young and frivolous. I enjoyed teasing the merpeople and caused serious damage to the relationship between the two tribes. First, I am willing to make a statement of guilt: I, Ao Duo, am willing to cede the Wuya Islands to the merpeople as a new territory to forgive my sins ten thousand years ago."
Deng Ru clenched his fists so tightly that it was easy to see that his jaw was trembling. Until the old Dragon King finished reading, he watched without blinking as the carefree tribesmen frolicked in the sun. The smiles on their faces were earned through the humiliation he and his father had endured.
What does the Endless Islands mean? It is an archipelago, more than ten times larger than Worry-Free Island, and the climate is similar to Worry-Free Island, or even better. There are many rare and exotic animals there, and it is a fertile land for the mermaids to cultivate and rest.
Is the old Dragon King really willing?
Until now, Deng Ru still questioned the old Dragon King. The corners of his mouth showed a curve again. He himself didn't know how long he had been humiliated? The spine on his back couldn't stand for a while. The old Dragon King just read the confession of guilt. He was so moved and thought so much. He was really despicable.
However, when he realized this mentality, his smile was tinged with bitterness.
The waiting process is painful.
The old Dragon King had no idea what Deng Ru was thinking. He couldn't stay still at all and kept walking back and forth. Sometimes he would scratch his ears, sometimes his cheeks, and make a lot of small movements.
Is this okay or not?
The old Dragon King was unsure, and wasting time like this was not a solution, so he turned back to Deng Ru and said, "Are you dissatisfied? Then what do you think should be added? Or what should be changed?"
"No need," Deng Ru thought the old Dragon King was stalling for time, "This is good."
"Well, I'll start now." The old Dragon King was very straightforward this time.
Before Deng Ru could fully react, the old dragon king appeared, floating in the air. The mermaids on the beach clearly sensed the breath from the dragon clan. They all looked up, not as lazy and comfortable as before, but as if they were facing a great enemy. Especially when the old dragon king made a move, the mermaids spontaneously stood at the front, the women and children stood at the back, and the old people consciously stood on both sides. If they needed to fight to the death, the old mermaids would rush to the front to die, buying time for the men at the back to fight. The old dragon king was very upset to see this scene. In fact, the dragon clan did not have any bad intentions towards the mermaids. At the beginning, they were just young and hot-tempered and thought it was fun. Unexpectedly, it brought such a big consequence to the mermaids. He was reluctant to make this self-blame edict at first, but now, it seems that it is not the case.
Is he really wrong?
The old Dragon King stood in the air in a daze, not saying a word. Deng Ru sneered, "Are you going to stand here until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble?"
The old Dragon King came back to his senses and gave an apologetic look: "I will tell you now."
So, the old dragon king began to play the game. The colorful mermaids on the beach became visibly agitated, until they heard the old dragon king's hoarse voice: "I am the dragon king Aoduo. Ten thousand years ago, I was young and frivolous, and I enjoyed teasing the mermaids, which seriously hurt the feelings of the two tribes. Now I am willing to make a statement of guilt: I, Aoduo, am willing to cede the Wuya Islands to the mermaids as a new territory to forgive my sins ten thousand years ago."
There was complete silence.
The old Dragon King was a little embarrassed. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly to cover it up, and even glanced at Deng Ru out of the corner of his eye.
Deng Ru was like the mermaid below, silent.
At this moment, the old mermaid king Boeing sounded: "Old Dragon King, long time no see."
This sound called back all the mermaid souls, and they immediately started shouting:
"The king is back."
"Yes, it's the Mermaid King."
"I saw the Mermaid King, over there."
"Wang Zhen is back, back——"
The mermaids cheered and welcomed their king.
Deng Ru had already seen his father. The blue hair was getting closer and closer. Deng Ru raised the corner of his mouth and stepped forward to greet him: "Father."
"Thank you for your hard work, my son." The old Mermaid King was full of energy. Compared with the old Dragon King, the old Dragon King really looked very old.
Qiongsha frowned and said to the old Dragon King rudely: "What have you been through in these years? Aren't you blessed by the heavens? Is this how they bless you?"
The old Dragon King looked at Qiongsha's azure hair, pointed face, and long, flat eyes, and felt a little envious. Mermaids really don't look old. On the other hand, he himself was already in his twilight years.
He said with a smile: "That's no different from the Mermaid King. He's still as charming as ever."
"That's right, my mermaids have always had good looks, unlike the dragons who look old." Qiongsha said, and shook her hair back. Old Wang was not annoyed, but laughed, which made Qiongsha and Dengru freeze in their places.
Qiong Sha was puzzled. He thought that the old Dragon King might have been poisoned. This forced him to re-examine himself. He fell down all over, left and right, front and back. The old Dragon King felt a little uncomfortable at first, but soon he showed it to Qiong Sha openly and said, "How about I haven't lost my shape over the years, right?"
"It's OK," Qiongsha said honestly. His appearance hasn't changed much, "but his face has aged. It's better to be out of shape."
The old dragon king's throat was choked by the retort. When he was young, why didn't he realize that Qiongsha was so talkative? Qiongsha circled around him and actually found something fishy. He leaned in and said, "Old ghost, why is your immortal power so weak?"
I really didn't expect that Qiongsha would find out——
The old dragon king's nose was bulging. How could he admit that something bad had happened to the dragon clan? So, he could only make up a lie: "I'm old!"
"Do you think I believe you?" Qiongsha said, "Old ghost, you can't do this. At our age, the most taboo thing is that our power is unstable. Look at your dragon whiskers, they are all white. This is serious."
"Why do you care so much?"
"Hey, if you don't live longer, who can I go to for revenge? Look at me, I'm still a handsome man. Look at you, I can't find anyone older than you among the elders of my entire mermaid clan."
Qiongsha is very proud of this.
“You——” The old dragon king’s heart was really poked like a hornet’s nest. He really followed Qiongsha’s line of sight and looked at the group of old men from the mermaid tribe. Sure enough, their hair was still shining. It was really annoying! Annoying!
"You - you stand still quickly." The old Dragon King retracted his gaze and urged Qiongsha.
Qiongsha was stunned and asked, "Am I not standing still?"
"You have to stand up to me!" The old Dragon King didn't want to continue talking to this poor guy, otherwise he would be upset. "Forget it, I'll go over."
The old Dragon King stood in front of Qiongsha, with his arms folded across his chest, standing very neatly. Qiongsha was even more confused. This old Dragon King was old and behaved in a strange way. He stood so neatly that he didn't even dare to move.
In just a short while, the old Dragon King suddenly raised his hands above his head and bent his upper body towards the ground. Qiongsha was so scared that he quickly stepped back several steps. Dengru was quick and supported the old Mermaid King from behind, who was almost unable to stand.
"You-what are you doing?" Qiongsha couldn't speak clearly.
The old Dragon King did not stop moving, and looked at Qiongsha with the corner of his eye: "Hey, old man, you can't go back on your word! After I perform three great rituals with you, you must lend me the Mermaid Book!"
