"I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but I know nothing about the principles of Yin and Yang and have no knowledge of them. However, I can talk about the evolution of the Five Elements."
Hearing these undisguised, almost flirtatious, words, Feng Bingwen remained calm and solemnly refused.
He could easily see that these dragon maidens who were flirting with him were probably interested in his status as a reincarnated sage, not in him, Feng Bingwen. These dragon maidens really didn't interest him. Otherwise, he could have taken one home to warm his bed.
"It doesn't matter if I know nothing about it. I am willing to study the way of Yin and Yang with the sage."
The dragon maiden in red smiled and spoke, showing no stage fright whatsoever. She was quite fiery, and for a moment, Feng Bingwen felt a little overwhelmed. She was too direct and bold. He had never seen such a woman in this life. She truly deserved to be called a dragon.
Oh no, we can't slander the reputation of dragons like that. Although there are many dragons who have made outstanding contributions to the increase of species numbers, there are also dragons who practice austerity and follow monogamy.
"I have no interest in the Yin-Yang theory for the time being."
Feng Bingwen refused on the spot. He was not yet of age to practice the art of divination (13-15 years old), and his body was not yet fully developed. How could he study the principles of Yin and Yang so early? He should at least wait until he was of age to practice the art of divination (15-20 years old).
"The sage is far too boring."
After being rejected by Feng Bingwen one after another, the dragon girls, whose intentions were practically written all over their faces, couldn't stand it anymore.
To be able to play with the daughter of a true dragon, even if there is a difference in status, how much difference could there be? Most of them are related to the true dragon within three generations, and belong to the group with extremely noble status in the dragon race.
Although Feng Bingwen seemed to have a powerful background, the strength he displayed at the moment was not intimidating at all. Anyone randomly picked out from the crowd seemed to be stronger than this reincarnated sage.
"Sister Yuechu, aren't you being a little too impatient? The Sage is not yet of age to be near women, why be so anxious? I think it's fine to wait a few more years."
The dragon maiden looked Feng Bingwen up and down and figured out the reason: the sword had not yet been forged, so naturally he had no intention of subduing the dragon at this time.
"I forgot, in that case, we can wait a few more years."
Feng Bingwen stared speechlessly at the group of dragon maidens loudly plotting in front of him. Meanwhile, Qingyu, the Dragon Lord standing guard in front of Feng Bingwen, was so enraged by these words that her eyebrows furrowed.
"You are so rude! Aren't you afraid of disgracing your parents and elders?"
“Qingyu, not everyone is like you, so don’t treat me like you. We are different.”
The dragon maiden in red saw the changes in her sister's emotions: disappointment, dissatisfaction, and even disdain.
But so what?
She was also the daughter of a dragon king, and in terms of status, she was equal to Xi Qingyu. However, in terms of actual position and treatment, they were worlds apart.
Not all dragon kings are the same. Some dragon kings are devoted to one woman, like Xi Qingyu's father. He only had two children, her brother and her brother, so he naturally doted on them. He provided for everything they needed in life, including cultivation resources.
However, her Dragon King father was a notorious womanizer among the dragons, with a harem of three thousand concubines. This resulted in her having an astonishing number of brothers and sisters, at least three hundred of whom she knew, not to mention the illegitimate children who had not yet been exposed.
As far back as she can remember, everything she ate, used, wore, and even the resources necessary for her spiritual practice required competition with her numerous brothers and sisters.
She emerged victorious from round after round of selection and competition, ultimately becoming one of the dozen or so dragon princes and princesses most favored by her amorous father, and thus gaining the opportunity to attend the Ascension Banquet.
This unique upbringing naturally led her to habitually seize every opportunity for advancement in order to achieve her ultimate goal—transformation into a dragon. Once she could become a true dragon, she could have an equal dialogue with her amorous father, escape his shadow, and no longer be bound by him.
"At the beginning of the month, you..."
Upon hearing her sister's words, Xi Qingyu was taken aback, and the expression in her eyes became extremely complicated.
She knew all too well that parents like her were extremely rare among the dragons. Many dragon sons and daughters appeared glamorous on the surface, but their lives were filled with untold hardships.
What are you talking about?
A slightly ethereal and melodious voice echoed softly, easing the somewhat stiff atmosphere.
Feng Bingwen looked over and was immediately struck by a stunning sight. It was a young girl, a girl who seemed somewhat unreal to him. When she came into view, the mountains and rivers paled in comparison, and everything seemed to dim.
Very strong!
This was Feng Bingwen's first impression of the girl, because the Xuan Ting Dragon King had just given him the same feeling. When he appeared, he was the center of the world, and all things in the mountains and rivers paled in comparison.
However, what was slightly different was that the girl in front of him was extremely beautiful, so beautiful that she could rival the two goddesses he had seen. Her intoxicating eyes flowed with a dreamlike radiance, and she exuded an immortal glow. She possessed a majesty that commanded all rivers and an inviolable holiness.
"Your Majesty Yingli!"
To Feng Bingwen's surprise, yet also to his astonishment, when the seemingly ethereal young woman appeared, all the dragon maidens beside him, including Xi Qingyu, bowed their heads in respect to her.
His Majesty!
Without a doubt, this is a Dragon King!
It's not the kind of self-indulgent king who reigns supreme in some remote, impoverished place, but a genuine dragon that can rival true immortals and Buddhas.
What surprised Feng Bingwen was that the dignified Dragon King transformed into a young girl. Although she was still majestic and admirable, she still seemed a little immature.
"No need for formalities!"
Whether it was just her imagination or not, the young dragon king seemed somewhat disappointed when she saw a group of dragon girls bowing and greeting her respectfully.
"Get up, all of you!"
The dragon maidens straightened up, their expressions towards the young dragon king varying. Feng Bingwen found it strange, but wisely remained silent.
However, due to the arrival of a Dragon King, none of the previously noisy Dragon Maidens spoke, creating an eerie silence that was somewhat awkward.
"And who is this fellow Daoist?"
With no one speaking, the Dragon King's gaze naturally fell on Feng Bingwen. Not only was Feng Bingwen one of the few males present, but he had also unconsciously stopped bowing when the dragon maidens were paying their respects, which naturally caught their attention.
"Human, Feng Bingwen!"
Feng Bingwen cupped his hands in greeting, which was considered a formality.
"Are you the reincarnated sage they speak of?"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen introduce himself, the young dragon king's eyes immediately lit up.
This is not an exaggeration, but a realistic description. When those dreamlike, intoxicating dragon eyes lit up, it was as if a galaxy appeared, and a terrifying dragon's might spread out, forcing even the dragon maidens with extraordinary bloodlines to lower their heads and breathe rapidly.
"Would Your Majesty believe me if I said it was a misrepresentation?"
Feng Bingwen replied once again without any expectation. He was used to those people who had only heard of his deeds but did not know him, who ignored his explanations and presumed on his identity as a reincarnated sage.
"Maybe!"
Seeing that Feng Bingwen remained calm and composed even when she accidentally lost control of her dragon's might, the girl's eyes shone even brighter.
"Do you believe me?"
Feng Bingwen was also pleasantly surprised. A ray of five-colored immortal light bloomed in his eyes, so much so that he completely ignored the various wonders displayed by the girl and remained unaffected.
"I don't know if you are a reincarnated saint."
When Yingli Dragon King spoke, she took light steps and walked to a spot less than three feet away from Feng Bingwen. Crystalline light surrounded her crystal-clear, jade-like skin, and immortal radiance emanated from her.
Under the pressure of the true dragon, the dragon maidens who had just surrounded Feng Bingwen couldn't help but move away, and even Xi Qingyu, who was trying to protect Feng Bingwen, had to step aside.
"But I can be sure of one thing!"
As she spoke, under Feng Bingwen's questioning gaze, the girl who had walked very close to him leaned down, closed her dreamy eyes, and gently twitched her delicate nose, as if she were sniffing his scent.
This ambiguous posture, coupled with the other person's stunning beauty, made Feng Bingwen, who had just been so composed, feel somewhat embarrassed and he took a step back.
"His Majesty?"
"You are a celestial being!"
Seemingly confirming it through that ambiguous behavior, the girl straightened up, opened her eyes, and her hazy, starry eyes made Feng Bingwen feel somewhat dazed, as if he were seeing an ancient and eternal starry sky.
"You're like me, you're one of my kind!"
The confident tone, along with the barely concealed jubilation and joy, instantly silenced this corner of the Dragon Palace once again.
The dozen or so dragon maidens exchanged glances, unsurprised by Feng Bingwen's possession of an immortal body. After all, he was already a reincarnated sage; what was so special about having an immortal body? Shouldn't it be standard practice?
But what does His Majesty mean by "the same kind"? That sage is clearly human; how could he possibly be the same kind as a dragon?
"similar?"
The dragon maidens were puzzled, and Feng Bingwen couldn't understand it either. Although he felt an inexplicable sense of kinship with this Dragon King, he was certain that they were not of the same kind.
He is human, that much is undeniable. However, with the techniques he currently possesses, his supernatural powers can transform him into a dragon, but his fundamental nature remains unchanged.
The Dragon King Yingli standing before him, judging from the behavior of the surrounding dragon maidens, was clearly a figure of immense power. If it weren't for the oppressive aura of a higher-ranking member of his own race, how could they have been so subdued, retreating again and again?
"Yes, we are the same kind!"
Seeing Feng Bingwen's doubt, Yingli nodded in affirmation.
"Your Majesty, are you mistaken?"
Feng Bingwen's expression was strange.
