Chapter 419: Confinement to Water Palace, Business Transactions
When the Taihu God arrived, there was a gentle breeze; when he left, there was a howling gale. The gale swept across Yuzhi Terrace, damaging the flowers and trees on the terrace, and their petals and leaves withered.
The Immortal Jin Ting casually caught a swirling leaf and said with a smile, "What a bad temper you have."
The Thunder Officer stood outside the pavilion, completely impressed by the Immortal Jin Ting. He said, "It was a brilliant move, Immortal, to leave the Dragon Binding Rope behind."
The Immortal Jin Ting glanced at him and said, "What a brilliant move this is."
The real trick wasn't here. Officer Cai Lei's brain probably couldn't figure it out. If he could, he wouldn't be in this situation.
The Immortal Jin Ting waved his hand and said, "You've already rested for three days. Why don't you go up to the sky to collect thunder?"
The official Cai Lei failed to flatter the emperor and could only go to heaven in anger. But after a while, rolling thunderclouds appeared in the sky.
The Thunder Collector is now an experienced one. He is driven by the Great Immortal Jin Ting to collect thunder from the sky. He controls clouds and rains and summons thunder every day. The aura of the real dragon is becoming more and more powerful.
Even he himself had not noticed that, as he was bathed in thunder and weathered wind and rain every day, his hostility had become less and less, and the chronic illness that had trapped him for thousands of years was gradually fading away. Instead, he felt a sense of ease, like a fish in water.
Mining is not an easy task, and it is a test of both spirit and body.
The Immortal Jin Ting needed a good knife, so he directed the piece of pig iron to gradually forge itself into shape.
However, there are still many ways between it being formed and being usable, so for now it can only be used for hard labor.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting took a look at the thunder in the sky and stuffed the dragon-binding rope into his sleeve.
The Taihu God was lost and then found again, but the Dragon Binding Rope was completely lost. The Taihu God was in the wrong first and had to swallow his anger.
The Taihu God had only this one son, and Taihu wasn't as peaceful as one might imagine. The first time Jin Ting Daxian visited Taihu, he realized the old dragon was filled with concerns and had long lost his resolve.
He had made every possible preparation that day, risking his life alone to enter the Taihu Water Palace. This was already the Taihu God's greatest opportunity. He hadn't taken action that day, and he certainly wouldn't do it today. He had to swallow his anger.
But if he wanted to use his son to become a family with the Immortal Jin Ting, the old dragon would have to submit to the Immortal Jin Ting again, and he might not be able to do that.
But it doesn't matter. The God of Taihu cannot let go of his face, but if he can let it go for the God of Taihu today, he can let it go for Duheng someday.
This is what the Immortal Jinting believes, but the God of Taihu Lake does not agree with him.
The old dragon returned to the Water Palace and flew into a rage. He smashed the shrine and overturned the tables, saying, "That fox demon was so bold! He even dared to threaten me with a dragon rope! How absurd! How absurd!"
The young Prime Minister Turtle looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, with his eyes and shoulders lowered, and he was a turtle if he didn't move.
When the Taihu God had almost vented his anger, Prime Minister Turtle whispered, "My Lord, His Highness has woken up and is clamoring to see you. He wants to capture the fox demon and take back the pearl."
Taihu was so angry that he even overturned the dragon throne and said, "Evil creature, the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten. I didn't even want to provoke that demon fox, so why is he still obsessed with it?"
When the Taihu God went to look at Du Heng, a pillow flew towards him and was caught by the Taihu God.
Du Heng was lying on the bed, throwing things around. When he saw the Taihu God come in, he immediately burst into tears and cried, "Father, you must make the decision for me!"
His limbs, chest, and abdomen were covered in wounds from the demon-suppressing nails. His face was frighteningly pale, but his spirits were extremely excited. "That demon fox treated me like this! Quickly send troops to attack Shenjing Palace and bring him to justice!"
Bang!
The Taihu God slapped him.
Du Heng covered his face and looked at the Taihu God in disbelief. The crying expression on his face was still distorted, but it was replaced by astonishment.
"Evil creature! You stole the Taihu Divine Lord and lost the treasure that protects the lake. Do you know that if someone reports you to the Heavenly Court, both you and I will be sent to the Heavenly Prison?"
"I've long told you not to lose your ambition to pleasure. It's just a precious pearl, so give it to that fox demon. Aren't there enough precious pearls in my treasury for you to play with? You made such a joke for a red pearl. If it gets out, the entire Taihu Water Palace will become a laughing stock."
The Taihu God looked at Du Heng's unconvincing appearance and said angrily, "For the sake of you, my rebellious son, I will go to Shenjing Palace today to humble myself and apologize. Only then will that fox demon give me face and return the Taihu God. Otherwise, who knows what trouble will ensue."
"Now the dragon rope is in the hands of the demon fox. From now on, when I see the demon fox, I will bow my head and give way. This is all thanks to you!"
"Rebellious son, I tell you, you are not allowed to offend that fox demon again. You must stay in the Water Palace and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to leave the palace for three years."
The Taihu God turned away, leaving Du Heng covering his cheek, his chest heaving violently, his eyes full of hatred.
Du Heng was confined to the Water Palace, and the Immortal Jin Ting spent a few days in peace.
The Taoist priests in the Shenjing Palace served wholeheartedly, and the White Elephant Dragon, who had been wandering in the human world, also came back with a lustful aura. He wanted to pay a visit, but was driven away by the Jinting Immortal.
The White Elephant Dragon returned in disappointment. After returning to the Golden Turtle Island, he heard that the Three Thousand Years Old Man was unemployed at home, so he went to see him with gifts.
He complained to the Three Thousand Year Old Man, "That fox demon is so ungrateful! I came to visit him, but he complained about my strong aura of lust and told me to let it go before leaving. Is that how you talk?"
When the Three Thousand Years Old heard the name, his brows twitched. He said, "This fox demon is a formidable evil star. You've been hanging around in the human world for so long, but you don't know how famous he is in Taihu Lake."
The Three Thousand Year Old Dragon recounted his story of how he had let his dragon commit murder, attended the banquet alone, and punished Du Heng. The White Elephant Dragon was shocked and asked, "How could the Taihu God tolerate him doing all these things?"
Three Thousand Years Old smiled bitterly and said, "This is his ability. I was wrong. A demon king like him is indeed qualified to be picky."
Bai Xianglong said, "Alas, the Immortal Jin Ting is my best friend. I really shouldn't have disturbed his peace. Old Prime Minister, why are you so idle at home?"
The Three Thousand Years Old pointed at his nose and said, "I see you're not concerned about whether I'm unemployed or not, but whether your business can still be successful, right?"
Bai Xianglong said with a smile: "Business is business. The old Prime Minister is engaged in mining and manufacturing, so naturally it is a matter of communication between the inside and the outside. It is convenient for us, but it also makes you rich. Now that you are no longer engaged in mining and manufacturing, what other business methods are there..."
The Three Thousand Years Old laughed and said, "I have been the Prime Minister of the Water Palace for over two thousand years. Boy, do you think I still have a way out?"
Bai Xianglong immediately became friendly and said, "Old Prime Minister, you promised to sell me a rain-making flag. Look, I've collected all the elixirs you wanted this time."
The White Elephant Dragon took out the medicine bag, revealing several magical medicines inside. The most precious one was a purple ganoderma.
The Three Thousand Years Old then put away the medicine bag, took out the Rain Banner, and said, "Hide it well, don't show it off."
Bai Xianglong said, "Don't worry, old Prime Minister. You and I have known each other for many years. How could you not know my character?"
