Chapter 139 Lord Canghe
Ji Rong carefully stored the jewels and pearls into her storage ring, and then put the clam shell into a storage bag.
After Ji Rong put away the clam shell, Jiao Jue said, "It's about time, let's go." Jiao Jue expanded its body to ten feet in size and swam upwards, its body covered by the water membrane that had enveloped Ji Rong.
As they approached the shore, Jiao Jue called out, "Fly." He blew a breath onto the water membrane enveloping Ji Rong, then shrunk his body and coiled himself back onto Ji Rong's legs.
Water film disappears instantly.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong had no time to react; by the time she remembered to fly, her lower body was already submerged in water.
Bai, who had been waiting by the water, was delighted to see Ji Rong finally come ashore and said, "Honored guest, let's go back quickly, the boat is about to depart."
As Ji Rong shook the water off her clothes, she complained, "Big brother, you could at least say something. I didn't even have time to react."
Jiao Jue said, "Things outside are different now than before. With your slow reaction time, be careful you don't get torn apart."
Ji Rong tilted her head and said dismissively, "That's because it was you that I wasn't on guard."
"I will be treated the same way, Ji Rong. There are many kinds of magic in the world. You have managed to maintain your mind even with your strange appearance. How can you be sure that other living beings cannot?"
Ji Rong felt that what Jiao Jue said made sense, but he was being a bit long-winded at the moment.
Ji Rong said, "I know, but what happened? You're not usually this long-winded."
Jiao Jue closed his eyes and said, "Because I am merciful."
Back on the ship, Ji Rong followed Jiao Jue into the suite. With her hands on her hips, she said, "Brother Jinlong, what's wrong? Why are you acting so strangely?"
Jiao Jue looked at her and said, "Do you really want to know? If you do, you'll lose your head."
"We're in the same boat now. If you're doing well, I'm doing well. If you're finished, we're finished too."
Jiaojue looked at her and finally sighed, "This isn't our territory. We'll talk about it later."
Tell me about yourself. I have no idea how you and your brother ended up with that ugly fox.
"Brother Jinlong, you want to hear it? Well, that's a long story. Quickly bring out some spiritual fruits and fine wine, and I'll tell you in detail."
That night, Ji Rong and Jiao Jue drank and told each other stories about Gu Qingqing. Just as they were talking about the hardships of making a living in Ligu City, a loud knock came at the door.
Ji Rong put down the wine cup and said, "Brother, I'll go open the door and see."
Ji Rong opened the door and saw a fierce woman standing outside, her face muscular and her features sharp, with two horns on her head and her body covered in white scales.
Ji Rong knew this woman was a fierce one not because of her broad, flat chest, nor because of her tall, strong, and powerful figure, but because she spoke.
Canghe Junyinpan's voice was delicate and sweet. She placed the tray she was holding in her paws on Ji Rong's head and asked, "Is Senior Zhenlong here? I heard that Senior has come to my Canghe Mansion, so I have come to pay my respects. Please inform him."
Ji Rong, carrying the tray on her head, flapped her wings and retreated, stepping on Jiao Jue's claws. She quickly protected the tray and looked back at Jiao Jue, saying, "Big brother, Lord Canghe has arrived."
Jiao Jue nodded to her and said to Canghe Jun, "You've come so late at night, what brings you here, Canghe Jun?"
Seeing that they had something to talk about, Ji Rong picked up the tray and walked out. Before closing the door, she called out to Jiao Jue, "Brother Jinlong, you have guests, I'll go back first."
Then Ji Rong hid the full, jewel-encrusted tray under her wing and ran away.
Looking at Ji Rong's retreating figure, Canghe Jun said, "Senior, this..."
Jiao Jue squinted and said, "It's alright. Lord Canghe, please tell me what's on your mind first. Why did you come so late at night?"
Canghe Jun clasped his hands and said, "My cousin Yinlian sent me a message saying that a kind and gentle senior golden dragon has arrived on the Flower and Bird Pavilion ship. He is a true dragon of the Emperor Realm. So I left my trivial matters to my attendants and came to pay my respects overnight."
"What's the rush that you have to come at night?" Jiao Jue squinted, concealing the cold light in his eyes, and said, "Canghe-jun, just speak plainly."
Canghe Jun transformed into a silver dragon. She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and prostrated herself under Jiaojue's claws, saying, "The silver plate has come today because of an urgent matter."
Although I have become an emperor, I encountered a mishap during my cultivation, and now I must endure the pain of my meridians being shaken every day. I wonder if you have a solution? If you grant me the silver plate, I will repay you handsomely regardless of whether it succeeds or not.
Although he had said it, Yinpan was still unsure, as there were real dragons that had come to play in the Canghe River in the past;
But back then she wasn't in as much pain as she is now. Also, those true dragons all came from the heavenly palaces. Not only were they arrogant, but their status was also a bit sensitive for her. Therefore, she never mentioned this matter to the outside cultivators.
Upon hearing that a true dragon had appeared, and that it was a descendant of the Wu tribe from the desolate sea, Yinpan could no longer contain himself and hurried over.
Jiaojue looked down at Canghe Jun's robust skeleton, which seemed to be separate from Canghe Jun's flesh and skin, as if it were about to burst out at any moment.
As Jiao Jue thought to himself, if he were not greedy when the dragon became emperor, and would honestly accept the tribulation lightning, he would naturally reap some benefits after the tribulation.
This Canghe Jun is probably like me, not content with just becoming an emperor, but also wanting to ride the tribulation lightning to transform into a dragon.
But she failed.
Jiao Jue thought that Canghe Jun's cousin was clearly just a dragon, and he had a guess in his heart. He said, "Since you have already transformed into a dragon by taking advantage of the tribulation lightning, why do you still want to take the opportunity to transform into a true dragon?"
Why didn't you stop after failing to transform into a dragon? How are you still alive now, transformed into this creature that's both a dragon inside and a serpent outside?"
Canghe Jun suddenly looked up at Jiao Jue and asked, "How did you know, senior?"
Jiao Jue said, "Your bones and flesh are not the same, so you can't just endure the pain of meridian vibrations; your flesh and blood can't cover your bones, so as long as you use spiritual power, it will pierce through your flesh and blood."
"Senior, do you have a solution?"
Why are you still alive?
Canghe Jun looked at Jiao Jue and said, "This cannot be said."
"I suspect it was the Canglan God who saved your life. Could it be that He gave you the Canghe River, enabling you to use the river veins to suppress the dragon bones?"
Canghe Jun straightened up abruptly and said, "If Senior does not wish to tell Yinpan, Yinpan will leave on her own. She is merely suffering from some pain, and you need not speculate that it is related to the Divine Lord."
These words were unpleasant to hear, but Jiao Jue didn't care anymore.
He said, "Go ahead, I need to think about it."
Upon hearing this, Yinpan immediately clasped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, senior." He then prepared to leave.
Looking at the prominent bone knots all over her body, Jiao Jue finally sighed and said, "Wait a moment."
He took out a jade bottle, cut his claw, and dripped nine drops of blood onto the silver plate, saying, "Swallow one drop every month, but you will transform into a dragon again as a result. If you fail this time, you will die."
The celestial palaces raise many true dragons. You could ask your divine lord to inquire; all you need is the blood of a true silver dragon to become king, enough to prolong your life and perhaps slow down your transformation into a dragon.
Holding the jade bottle in both hands, Yinpan prostrated himself on the ground again with gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, senior."
After saying that, she hurriedly went to the fourth floor. She opened the door to the silver refining room on the fourth floor, and like a thirsty fish, she opened her mouth wide, took the jade bottle and dripped a drop into her mouth, and began to refine it on the spot.
At noon the next day, Yinlian, his face bruised and swollen, stood timidly in front of the door, carrying a large plate covered with spirit leaves. He knocked on the door and said, "Senior Jinlong, the Lord of the Prefecture asked me to present this treasure. Are you there?"
After a while, the door opened, and Ji Zhuang appeared. He said, "Ship captain, is there something you need?"
Upon seeing that it was Ji Zhuang, Yin Lian happily handed the large plate to Ji Zhuang and said, "Please trouble you to give this to Senior Jinlong."
Then he ran away without looking back.
Ji Zhuang carried the large plate back to his room, handed it to Jiao Jue, and was about to leave when Jiao Jue said, "Wait a moment, so I don't have to call you back later."
Jiao Jue picked and chose among the supplies, taking more than half of the plate, and then pointed to what he had left and said to Ji Zhuang, "These are all pretty good, you can take them."
Ji Zhuang's eyes lit up instantly. He picked up the large plate and went back to his room.
