In the mouths of the phoenixes, dragons are just loaches, and those dragons with impure bloodlines, like the Jiaolong, are just wild loaches. Humans or other creatures with dragon blood are just hybrid loaches.
The injured dragon is a tailless loach, and the severely injured dragon is a blood-stained, rotten loach.
Ayao is a human with phoenix blood, so in the eyes of many dragons, she is just a hybrid pheasant.

Inside a magnificent palace in the Dragon Palace, a woman dressed in a gorgeous purple palace gown is playing the zither.
The woman appeared to be around twenty years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin and delicate features, an air of elegance and grace, and a captivating, otherworldly charm. This woman was none other than the Dragon Queen—Yu Ji.
On the surface, she is Yu Ji, the Dragon Queen, but in reality, she is one of Luo Bai's incarnations.
Yu Ji was playing an elegant piece of music, looking relaxed. Several maids standing beside her looked anxious, constantly communicating with each other through telepathy or eye contact.
"Why is Your Majesty still so calm? His Majesty is about to depose you."
"Even with such a dire situation, you still have the mood to play the piano."
Just then, a child's voice came from outside:
"Mother, Mother—"
Upon hearing the voice, a maid immediately exclaimed, "The Third Prince has arrived!"
Sure enough, a small figure ran in; it was none other than Wushuang, the third prince of the Dragon Clan.
Wushuang wore a white brocade robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, the sleeves of which were cinched at the arms. He wore brown ankle boots, and his long silver hair was tied into a long ponytail with a golden ribbon. His face was fair and smooth, and his features were exquisitely delicate, like a beautiful little jade sculpture.
He rushed in and ran towards Yu Ji. Seeing Yu Ji still playing the zither, the pretty little girl stamped her foot and said, "Mother, you still have the mood to play the zither? Father has been bewitched by a bastard pheasant. He wants to depose you from your position as Empress. Why don't you hurry up and think of a solution?"
Wushuang was extremely angry. Although her father had many concubines, none of them had ever dared to surpass her mother. Now, her father had become infatuated with a bastard pheasant and even wanted to depose the empress. He had simply gone mad.
"It's just a matter of deposing the empress, it's not a big deal," Yu Ji said with a smile as she walked towards Wu Shuang.
"Deposing the empress isn't a big deal? Then what is?" Wushuang exclaimed, her eyes wide.
Not only Wushuang, but the maids around her were also thinking to themselves: If deposing the empress is not a big deal, then nothing is a big deal. Your Majesty, are you being too calm?
Yu Ji knelt down and stroked Wu Shuang's fair and tender face, saying:
"Her name isn't 'Mongrel Pheasant,' it's 'A Yao.'"
"What do I care what she's called? That bastard bewitched Father Emperor, I'll make her pay!" Wushuang said angrily.
"Calm down, she's not what you think. You don't need to worry, I don't care about the title of Empress."
"I care."
"His Majesty will not diminish his favor towards you just because he has made A Yao empress, so you can rest assured."
"Why are you still defending that bastard pheasant? Mother, have you lost your mind?" Wushuang said anxiously.
"Child, she didn't come to destroy our family, she came to join our family," Yu Ji said with a smile, holding Wu Shuang's two soft, white hands.
Wushuang: "..."
The little child looked at his mother and thought she must have suffered some kind of shock and was no longer thinking clearly. No, he absolutely couldn't let that wicked woman hurt his mother; he had to go find his father, the Emperor.
"I'm going to find my father!"
Wushuang ran away.
After Wushuang left, Yuji stood up and smiled helplessly. It was better to let him mess with his original body.

Six months later.
Inside the Langhuan Secret Realm, in the thunderous Thunder Pool, a white figure stood atop the pool, and with a wave of her hand, large bolts of lightning shot out from her palm.
Suddenly, the white figure flew into the sky and punched the Thunder Pool below. Five-colored lightning appeared in the sky and condensed into five mythical beasts: dragon, phoenix, suanni, thunder ox, and qilin. With the power to shatter the world, they rushed towards the Thunder Pool below.
Rumble—
The Thunder Pool surged with towering waves, and terrifying lightning power shot out in all directions. Space holes were pierced everywhere by lightning, the lightning surged, the surrounding area trembled, and the terror was boundless.
This is the Heavenly Gang Five Thunder Spell that A Yao learned from the Black Nest.
Ayao thought to herself: If I continue to fuse with the essence of thunder, the power of this thunder technique will only grow stronger. Should I continue cultivating here, or try to find a way to escape?
This is the seventh level of the Langhuan Secret Realm, a place specifically for cultivating thunder magic.
Ayao rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought for a long time. She decided to go out first. She had been here for several months and didn't know if her master had caused any major disturbances outside. She decided to stop cultivating for now and see how things went.
By the way, she could try making a Time Talisman. She already has the Sands of Time; she can ask Luo Bai for the other materials. That Luo Bai guy shouldn't be so stingy as to refuse her, right?
Ayao left the secret realm.
————
Inside the palace, a vortex appeared, and from it flew a beam of light. The moment the light landed, it transformed into a girl dressed in white.
After leaving the secret realm, A Yao changed into a purple gauze dress and walked outside. As she reached the main hall, the maids standing outside immediately bowed in greeting.
"Your Majesty!"
Ayao glanced at the beautiful maids and suddenly pointed at one of them: "You."
The maid she pointed to immediately stepped forward and respectfully asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"During my cultivation period, has anything special happened?" Ayao asked.
"Your Majesty, after you went into seclusion, His Majesty decreed the removal of Consort Yu Ji from her position as Empress and appointed you as Empress. Three months later, your wedding with His Majesty will be held, and you will be formally appointed as the Dragon Clan Empress at the wedding." The maid's heart was still filled with unease as she spoke these words.
Ayao: "..."
Luo Bai is really serious, huh? No wonder the atmosphere felt off as soon as I came out. Although it's normal for these mudskippers to look at her strangely because of her phoenix bloodline, now they seem to be looking at her with hidden hostility, and some of them are particularly obvious.
Ayao understood, after all, the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan have been sworn enemies since ancient times, and their grudges run deep.
In other words, she is not a real phoenix now, otherwise, if someone heard that Luo Bai wanted to make her empress, they might have rushed over and torn her to pieces.
"Anything else?" Ayao asked.
"The Third Prince has come to see you several times, saying, saying..." The maid seemed hesitant to continue.
"What did you say? You said you were going to kill me?" Ayao said with a smile.
Given Wushuang's personality, how could he remain indifferent knowing that his father wanted to depose his mother from her position as empress because of him? He's probably already made a scene several times.
The maids all lowered their heads, not daring to answer.
