Fu Huan, who was called out, wiped the seawater off her face, pointed at Jiang Si, and immediately shifted the blame to Jiang Si and Yan Liu: "Lord Cangying, please don't misunderstand, it wasn't me who wanted to come, it was the two of them. I was threatened by them. If you have something to do, go find them, don't come to me!"
Yes, don't bother him if you need anything. He's just an innocent little fish!
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
Her lips twitched.
Good heavens, I always thought that those cheap parents of the Red Eyebrow Fleet were acting like dogs because they had been with Bo Jichen for so long.
So it turns out these people weren't originally any good; it's just that Bo Jichen gathered all these bastards together and made them all dogs.
Upon hearing Fu Huan's words, Cang Ying turned his gaze to Jiang Si. Just as he was about to speak, a clear, cold female voice came from behind him: "Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
Hearing the voice, Jiang Si shuddered and turned to look beside her. Oh dear, her little Yanliu had run out with her, so when did she end up behind Cangying?
Fu Huan winked at her, asking, "What's going on? When did Yan Liu go there? Why didn't he see her? Is he blind?"
Cangying's body stiffened slightly, and the color in his eyes changed slightly. He was obviously surprised to find someone behind him, just like Jiang Si and the others. He put one hand behind his back and the other in front of his lower abdomen, and stepped aside to make way.
Yanliu was soaking wet, her dark gold-embroidered horse-face skirt dripping with water. With nothing blocking her way, she stepped forward, bent down, and extended her hand to Jiang Si: "Master, get up!"
Jiang Si placed her hand on hers, using her strength to stand up. She then used her mental power to wrap herself and Yan Liu, instantly drying the water off both of them.
There was no seawater on them, so water didn't drip down their hair, and both of them felt clean and refreshed.
Yan Liu stepped aside and stood behind Jiang Si, looking at the little golden dragon cub standing in front of them. His face was still somewhat childish, but his ethereal and aloof demeanor seemed to be innate.
He was self-disciplined and upright, and had a good sense of propriety. Even if they suddenly took the shortcut through the Abel Merfolk, the first person he questioned was Fu Huan, not them.
Jiang Si glanced at Yan Liu out of the corner of her eye, then extended her hand to Cangying: "Hello, Your Excellency Cangying, my name is Jiang Si. I apologize for disturbing you."
Cangying's eyes deepened slightly. She knew his name; it was Fu Huan, the high priest of the Shallow Sea Mermaid Clan, who had told them. It must be him. His spiritual power was unfathomable; even the girl who had silently stood behind him and helped her up was no match for him.
He couldn't tell what species she was at first glance. What kind of species was she that even he couldn't understand?
Cangying reached out and took her hand: "Hello, Lady Jiang Si, it's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask what brings you and High Priest Fu Huan of the Shallow Sea Mermaid Clan to my Great Western Kingdom?"
Jiang Si squeezed his hand back, then let go, a smile playing on her lips: "Could you please find a fish to take Lord Fu Huan out for a bit? My little Yanliu and I need to borrow something from you."
Fu Huan: "!!!!"
If you're borrowing something, why hide it from him?
What's this called, "killing the fish after the millstone has been ground up"?
His future adopted daughter is definitely not his biological child.
A biological child would never do anything bad behind their father's back.
Cangying shifted his gaze from Jiang Si's face to the girl named Yanliu, who was a step behind her. She wore a black shirt, a black skirt, and boots. Her long, black hair, reaching her waist, was slightly curled, and her black eyes had a slight brownish tinge, with a hint of gold mixed in.
Upon seeing the gold, Cangying's heart skipped a beat. He abruptly clenched his fingers, placed one hand behind his back, and covered the other with his wide sleeve. When he looked at Yanliu again, her eyes had already shifted, turning to look at Jiang Si.
Cang Ying suppressed the shock in his heart and coldly called out, "Someone, take the High Priest of the Shallow Sea Mermaid Clan, Fu Huan, to have some tea!"
A maid came upon hearing the commotion and politely invited Fu Huan to have some tea.
Fu Huan didn't want to go for tea, but he couldn't beat any of the three people in front of him.
As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances, and as a charlatan, he values his life even more!
So he gracefully followed the maid to drink tea.
Fu Huan left with the maid, leaving only the three of them in the space.
Cangying withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang Si again, his manner polite yet distant: "I wonder what it is that you, Lady Jiang Si, would like to borrow from me?"
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Si raised an eyebrow and smiled at him, then stepped back to Yan Liu's side: "Yan Liu, my darling, you said you could borrow this from him if we explained our purpose. Here you go!"
Yan Liu bowed her head and replied, "Yes, Master!"
After she finished speaking, she took a step forward and extended her hand to Cangying: "Hello, Your Excellency Cangying, my name is Yanliu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
She looked into his dark brown eyes, which were gleaming with gold, without even realizing it herself.
Cangying slowly reached out and took her hand. Her hand was so cold. "Hello, it's nice to meet you. What do you need to borrow from me?"
Her presence, her voice... caused him to inexplicably tremble, as if something was about to awaken.
Yan Liu released her grip, looked directly at him, and said bluntly, "I need to borrow some dragon blood from you. I don't need much, 1000 liters will do!"
Cang Ying's hand trembled as he withdrew it, his expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "What did you say?"
Yan Liu repeated what she had just said: "Lord Cangying, my master Jiang Si and I have come from the Abel Galaxy's mermaid race to the Great Western Kingdom via a shortcut to borrow your dragon blood. We don't need much for now, 1000 liters will suffice!"
"Don't worry, we won't take your blood for nothing. I can treat your people's mental riots and save them from the suffering caused by mental riots."
She was too close to him, her voice was too cold, she was too cold. Cang Ying's breathing became inexplicably rapid, and scales on his arms sprouted.
His heart skipped a beat. He rolled up his sleeve and wrapped it around his arm, his movements as graceful as a willow branch or as fierce as a venomous snake or beast, forcing him to take two steps back: "Excuse me, please wait a moment!"
Yan Liu looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes, "Please do as you please!"
Cangying gave her a deep look, then glanced at Jiang Si, before turning and leaving. If you looked closely, you could see that his steps were somewhat unsteady.
He walked to the door, then suddenly turned around and said, "Your Excellency Jiang Siyan and Lady Liu, you may rest in the next room and have a cup of tea!"
Jiang Si nodded her thanks and led Yan Liu toward the open door next door.
Cangying watched the two of them walk into the next room before turning around and quickly leaving.
Some of the maids and servants could hardly believe their eyes when they saw him. Their usually composed and aloof high priest was now flustered and walking unsteadily.
What's going on? What's going on? Did the high priest encounter his natural enemy? Did the high priest communicate with the sea god and what did the sea god say to him?
Cangying arrived at a deserted place, flashed into his own space, lifted the wide sleeves of his robe, and saw that the back of his hands and arms were covered with golden scales.
He tried to get the scales off, but they wouldn't come off his hand; instead, they climbed up his neck, making his fair neck shimmer with golden scales.
With no other option, he couldn't control his scales and transformed into a golden dragon, plunging headlong into the deep pool of water in his space. The icy water stimulated him, calming his restless and excited heart and churning blood.
Jiang Si and Yan Liu drank three cups of tea, ate two bowls of stewed shark fin, and tasted a few bites of sashimi. Cang Ying returned, carrying a chilly mist on her body. She had changed her clothes; although both were black robes with wide sleeves, the patterns on them were different.
His long hair, cascading down to his ankles like a waterfall, was half loose and half woven into pearls, the round pearls, colorful and shimmering, falling with his hair.
A lucky charm hangs from her waist, pearls dangle from her waist, mysterious symbols are drawn on her bare feet, her robe trails slightly on the ground, and her black eyes, gleaming with gold, gaze at Yan Liu: "How did you know I am a dragon?"
Yanliu picked up her tea, rinsed her mouth, lifted her eyelids, and looked at him: "Your sashimi is so bad, do I have to know which fish it came from?"
Her implication was that they knew he was a dragon and came to borrow his blood, but whether he knew or not, it didn't matter; it was just a matter of borrowing blood or not, and there was no point in saying more.
Jiang Si looked at her own little Yanliu. As expected of her, whether it was one time travel or 98 time travels, the little golden dragon cub could not handle her at all.
Following up on what her friend Yanliu had said, she replied, "Yes, Lord Cangying, you are the High Priest of the Deep Sea Mermaid Clan. You should know what fate is... truly wondrous!"
“We’ve come to you to borrow your blood, and we’ll return the favor in kind. If you think it’s feasible, then lend it to us. If you think it’s not feasible, then we’ll find another way. So, will you lend us this blood or not? Just say it and be quick about it.”
The scales that Cangying had managed to suppress were starting to reappear. He tried his best to suppress them, then stepped forward barefoot and took out two glass bottles containing more than 1,000 liters of blood that he had released from his space!
He placed the glass bottle containing the blood in front of Yan Liu, straightened up, took a step back, and looked at Yan Liu, saying, "This is the 1000 liters of dragon blood you need!"
The crimson blood was in a glass and placed in front of her, within easy reach. Yan Liu was slightly stunned. The distant memory of the little golden dragon cub dying flashed through her mind. He... gave her many, many bottles of blood, and even gave her his body.
Jiang Si placed the teacup on the table, making a slight sound. Yan Liu snapped out of her daze, casually picked up a bottle of blood, opened the cap, and smelled it. It was dragon blood, pure yang dragon blood, with abundant yang energy and vitality.
She recapped the blood bottles, put the two bottles of dragon blood into her own space, stood up, and said politely but without any emotion, "Lord Cangying, we will not take your dragon blood for nothing. Now you can have your people come over, and I will help them to regulate their spiritual power."
Cang Ying refused, saying, "No need, you can take the dragon blood!"
Yan Liu frowned, and her powerful plant-based spiritual energy inadvertently spread out: "We don't want to owe you any favors. If you say you don't need it, that doesn't count. I'll use my spiritual energy to travel through your Great Western Kingdom, and then we'll be even."
Cangying's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at her. She was beautiful, more beautiful than any female creature he had ever seen. She was aloof, as aloof as ice.
A powerful plant-based spiritual energy spread throughout the sacrificial hall, radiating outwards. The merfolk worshipping outside the temple sensed this spiritual energy and, believing it to be their high priest contributing divine power, became even more devout in their worship.
After releasing her spiritual power, Yanliu broke off a willow branch and handed it to Cangying: "Plant this branch at your sacrificial temple. For three years, it will protect the mermaids who come to worship at your temple from the torment of spiritual power turmoil!"
Cangying slightly clenched his fingers, then slowly extended them to take the willow branch from her hand. Just as the willow branch let go, he saw several golden scales sprout on the back of his hand.
She frowned, and with lightning speed, grabbed Cangying's wrist, flicked up his wide sleeve, and not only did scales sprout on the back of his hand, but golden scales also sprouted on his forearm.
Some were scattered, others covered the entire area; the golden scales shone brightly and were dazzlingly yellow.
Yanliu grabbed his wrist and looked at his arm. Cangying's arm was covered with golden scales in her eyes, which she could not control or suppress.
Yanliu's gaze moved from his arm to his eyes, and she let out a cold laugh, which sounded like self-mockery or sarcasm. She then shook off his hand, took two steps back, and called to Jiang Si, "Master, let's go!"
Jiang Si immediately stood up and started walking, since she knew their shortcut anyway.
Yan Liu followed closely behind her. Once they left the room, Cangying realized what was happening, gripped the willow branch in her hand, and followed them. She saw that the two of them had already entered the shortcut from the Great Western Kingdom to the Merfolk of the Abel Star System and disappeared.
He stood at the entrance of the shortcut, his wrist, arms and hands, which Yan Liu had once held, were now covered in golden scales. Scales had also sprouted on his neck and cheeks. His heart was pounding rapidly!
Cangying stood at the entrance to the passage for a long, long time before turning around to look for Fu Huan.
Fu Huan sipped her tea while playing with a little mermaid. The little mermaid looked about two or three years old and was in a large glass tank. She couldn't transform into a human yet. She was holding a dried fish and munching on it in the water. She was so cute.
When Cangying came to him, he asked, "Lord Cangying, you're doing a good job as High Priest, even helping to raise the little mermaids!"
Cangying held the willow branch in his hand, the scales on his face and neck receding, leaving only the areas covered by his clothes with scales: "This little mermaid is the heir of my Great Western Kingdom, named Quanjian!"
Fu Huan suddenly raised the hand that was teasing the little mermaid, took a step back, and turned her back to the fish tank: "So you are the heir of your country. No wonder you are so cute and clever. My apologies for not recognizing you!"
This is going to scare him to death! He casually teased a little mermaid, and she turned out to be the future Queen! Good heavens, good heavens, he's really made something of himself.
Cangying nodded: "She is very well-behaved. Her mother is too busy to take care of her right now, so I am. I would like to ask, who are Jiang Si and Lady Yanliu to you, that you asked them to bring them here?"
Fu Huan exclaimed, "Who am I to them? Well, would you believe me if I said I've only known them for a few days?"
Cangying was naturally skeptical. He frowned, about to speak, when the little mermaid Quanjian poked her head out of the fish tank, stretched out her wet little hand, grabbed Fu Huan's hair with the strength of an ox, pulled his hair, lifted his body, and pressed his head down into the water...
Cangying: "..."
Fu Huan: "..."
Entering the shortcut vortex, in the blink of an eye, they emerged from the shortcut. Two and a half days later, Jiang Si and Yan Liu, members of the shallow sea mermaid clan, boarded a yacht after emerging from the deep sea ruins, started the yacht, and headed towards the shore against the sea breeze.
Jiang Si took a bath, changed her clothes, and walked to Yan Liu's side. Following Yan Liu's gaze, she looked towards the distant sky and the distant sea. "So, this little golden dragon cub, Cangying, has been wrong about his destined person from the very beginning, wrong 97 times!"
Yan Liu's long, flowing hair fluttered, her eyes cool and aloof. She turned to look at Jiang Si and said, "Master, I am a staunch bachelor. I don't talk about love or romance. This was true for the first 97 times, and it will be true for the 98th time!"
"So whether he makes a mistake about who his destined person is none of my business!"
