Luolonggou is a typical karst landform, covered with underground caves and underground rivers. Ancient craftsmen built a winding and solemn corridor according to the path of the underground caves. Entering from the shrine in the Niangniang Temple, it takes half an hour to walk underground to reach the main hall of the underground palace, where the dragon is trapped.
The walls of the passageway leading to the main hall were inlaid with fist-sized luminous pearls, emitting a shimmering green light. The hall, with its carved beams and painted pillars, brackets and flying eaves, was built in the style of the Golden Throne Hall. Mermaid lanterns adorning the walls around the main hall emitted a bright yet soft glow, burning for centuries, illuminating the sunless underground as bright as day.
There were two people in the hall at this time. A beautiful young woman wearing green soft leather armor was sitting on the dragon throne on the high platform in the main hall, looking at a man in white clothes with long hair under the platform with an angry expression.
The man was over eight feet tall, dressed in a snow-white straight-collared robe, with a wide belt with moon-white auspicious cloud patterns around his waist. His black hair was tied with a silver ribbon. He wore no crown or hairpins, and a few strands of hair hung down in front of his forehead, making him look casual and ethereal.
Looking at his face, this man had a face as white as powder and eyebrows as black as ink, and was extremely handsome. However, his narrow and long fox eyes added a bit of mysterious charm to his handsome appearance that looked like a banished immortal.
The man stroked the fox-shaped mutton-fat jade pendant hanging around his waist and said lazily:
"Little Snake, today is the first day of the new year. Have you thought about it?"
The beautiful young woman on the dragon throne flew into a rage after hearing what the man in white said, and started cursing:
"Bah! Demon Dao Qingyang, stop dreaming! Even if you trap me for another four hundred and fifty years, my answer will remain the same: no, that's no!"
The man in white sighed leisurely, his fox eyes flickered, and he smiled softly, brows relaxed.
"Alas, why are you doing this? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dwindled dramatically. Even if you give birth to a little golden dragon, it won't survive without spiritual nourishment. It's better to give it to me. First, we can establish a good relationship. If you are in trouble in the future, I will definitely not stand idly by. Second, without your burden, you can immediately transcend the tribulation and ascend to the Tushita Realm to meet your husband. Anyway, with him around, you can have as many children as you want in the future. After all, dragons are lustful!"
“How can this be—!”
The beautiful young woman was so angry that her face turned pale. She slammed the table and stood up, pulling the chain on her right ankle, making a rattling sound.
"If it weren't for the fact that you were my old friend and junior fellow apprentice, how could I have trusted you so easily and fallen for your evil scheme, trapped underground? We have no grudges against each other, so why would you harm me to this extent?"
The man in white still had a gentle smile on his face that made people feel like they were in the spring breeze, but the gleam in his black eyes was chilling.
"Alas, I can't help it. After all, the little beast in your belly is the only true dragon in this plane. If I don't trick you, your soul will be destroyed sooner or later. I'd rather die than let my friend die, so I'd better trick you. We really have no grudges, but I just hate the snake clan. If you want to blame someone, blame you for being sisters with that caterpillar!"
"You—, I'll bite you to death—!"
The young woman's face twisted and she suddenly turned into a green dragon with a horse's head and a snake's tail. She was covered in scales, had a pair of sharp claws under her belly, and a straight, short, sharp horn in the middle of her head. She opened her mouth wide and bit towards the man in white.
Unfortunately, the dragon's tail was chained, limiting its range of movement. It could only dart about a foot in front of the man, unable to reach him. The dragon's massive body tore through the main hall, sending dirt cascading down from the ceiling. The man in white frowned, brushed the dust off his shoulders, and sighed.
"Oh my, what a sin! What a sin! You've caused another earthquake in the Shuzhong area. I don't know if anyone will die..."
When the dragon heard what he said, it suddenly turned back into the appearance of a young woman, sat dejectedly on the dragon throne, and shed tears.
