Chapter 250 Ordering Food (2)
Inside the main hall, Juejun sat high in the main seat, yawning repeatedly, looking exactly like he had just woken up. To his left and below, there was a small table, and sitting on it was none other than the old dragon Xiu Longjun!
Looking at the clan elder above, whose mind became increasingly muddled with age, Long Yan only wanted to bite his head and suck out the little brain he had left, so that Long Jun would not run away and embarrass the Golden Dragon Clan again.
But Long Jun was clearly unaware of this. He looked at Long Yan below him, opened his cloudy old eyes and laughed, "Young Yan, you've come to pay your respects to Lord Jue too?"
Long Yan lowered his head, concealing the anger on his face, and respectfully bowed to Jue Jun at the head of the table. Then, pointing to the group of imperial elders who had followed them in, he said, "Jue Jun, a small portion of the Golden Cauldron Palace's vassal clans have come to you. Please return them."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue stretched his neck and squinted as he looked Long Yan up and down. He said, "When have I ever taken in any of your Golden Cauldron Palace's vassal clans? If I wanted to, Gu Chan's head in the Fire Cloud Cave would have been moved long ago."
You've only just arrived here today, yet you claim to be from the Golden Cauldron Palace. What do you possess that could possibly prove it?
They all came to me on their own, saying that life was hard and begging me to take pity on them and give them some work. I saw that they were really old, so I took pity on them and hired them to fill the position.
Is your queen so stingy that she has accepted the clan's support for many years but doesn't give them any benefits so they can enjoy their old age in peace?
Listen carefully, of all those present, only Elder Jun was invited by my divine servant.
Then, Gu Qingqing bowed to Jiao Jue from the side, and Jiao Jue nodded to her.
Gu Qingqing then moved over to Long Jun and whispered to him, "Elder Jun, is there something wrong with your nephew? You've been staying with Jue Jun for so long, how could you not know if any of the Golden Cauldron Palace's affiliated clans came to join you?!"
You've only been retired for a short time, and he's still your cousin. How can he be so inconsiderate of you?
Therefore, when it comes to closeness, one must rely on one's own offspring.
Long Jun wholeheartedly agreed. Ten days ago, Qingshao, with whom he had a relationship, came and gently told him that she was pregnant.
For a true dragon like Long Jun, who was old, knew his death was imminent, and was extremely wealthy, this news was a dream come true.
After all, he is too old. If there is anything that can still fill him with passion and make him feel young, the first thing that must be that he can still have offspring.
Upon hearing Qingshao's words, Long Jun had no intention of verifying the authenticity of the offspring. He turned away and indulged in his fantasy of being old but still vigorous and capable.
With another child on the way, Long Jun felt he should strive to secure some benefits for the unborn child.
He immediately opened his turbid eyes and scolded, "Long Yan, how dare you! You are so rude today, coming here empty-handed. It's fortunate that you are Lord Jue, so I won't hold it against you."
Yet you still dare to use the Empress's name to put pressure on Juejun, which is simply a contempt for divine power!
Since you are a descendant of the Goddess, you should be able to sense her presence. Go back and pay your respects to the Goddess, and ask her to bestow upon you the Seal of All Things to search for it.”
Long Yan was enraged by Long Jun's words. He gritted his teeth, bowed to Jue Jun on the high platform to apologize, and quickly took his leave without mentioning the row of old emperor cultivators.
After Long Yan left with the celestial maiden beneath him, Jiao Jue smiled at Long Jun and said, "Elder Jun is indeed upright. I would like to bestow some land upon the little fellow in Qing Tiao's belly. Let's delineate a territory for Qing Tiao's lineage, including the area five hundred li outside that pool. What do you think, Elder Jun?"
Long Jun pouted, his whiskers trembling. He lowered his head slightly and bowed to Jue Jun with a smile, saying, "Thank you, Jue Jun."
Qingshao entered from the side hall. She gently stroked her belly and sincerely bowed to Jiaojue, saying, "Thank you, Lord Jue."
Jiao Jue nodded to her, then summoned Ji Zhuang to record the matter and instructed Ji Zhuang to lead Qing Tiao and Long Jun to the Dragon Pool to claim land for Qing Tiao.
After Qingshao and his group left the main hall, Tangye, who was in charge, bowed down and said, "Lord Jue, if Longyan really takes the Seal of All Things, how should we deal with it?"
The old emperor Xiong Xiu, who was missing a hand, also called out, "Lord Jue, may we relocate our clan and live in your attached land, the Desolate Sea?"
Jiao Jue smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Migration to too far will be very difficult for you. It's not time for that yet, so don't panic. I will make proper arrangements for you."
Then, the Earth-Yellow Dragon Saint Qingguanzi, carrying a large Earth-Yellow Wall Servant, walked in through the back door. This Wall Servant had actually cultivated into a Saint.
Her name was Qingzhezi. Like Shenlao, she was a creature raised by Lingxiaozi through his curiosity and fed with many rare and precious things. She created a technique based on her own talent, called "Zhetian Technique", and thus became a saint.
Qingzhezi first bowed to Juejun, then turned his head to look at the old emperors and said, "What kind of beings are you? Why don't you hurry up and move to the mountain near Juejun?"
I will set up a concealment array here, so you should not go out from now on. Just live peacefully under Lord Jue's tutelage.
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators gratefully bowed to Lord Jue at the head of the table and said, "Thank you, Lord Jue."
Long Yan had just returned to the Kunlun Mountains and had not yet had a chance to pay his respects to the Golden Mother.
Tang Ye then carried Gu Qingqing, who was carrying generous gifts, to the Golden Cauldron Palace. Gu Qingqing bowed deeply to the Empress sitting in the hall. The Empress had a face like that of a celestial being, her hair was slightly disheveled, and she was adorned with a magnificent headdress. Her skin below the neck was covered by thick fabric, so her appearance was unknown.
Gu Qingqing dared not look any further. She said, "Your Majesty, there is a Fire Fox clan in the Danxue Mountains who does not submit to Lord Jue's rule. The clan leader, Gu Chan, said that he was your follower many years ago."
"Lord Jue specially sent Little Fox to inform you. If you say yes, then Lord Jue will drive them all to the Kunlun Mountains. If you say no, then Lord Jue will behead her according to the rules of the Dragon and Phoenix Palace."
Upon hearing this, a soft, childlike voice rang out from the Queen Mother's chest. She asked, "Who is Gu Chan?"
The attendants, Qingluan and Wangyue, quickly picked up a golden armor and helped the Golden Mother Goddess put it on. The Goddess then said, "Wangyue, Guchan seems to be your junior. If she is willing to come, let her come over."
The Empress looked down at Gu Qingqing and said, "You are indeed very fortunate. When I and Nuwa started learning to create things, we never saw anyone create a fox like you. It is clear that you have great blessings."
Go back and tell Him that I liked the gift very much and accepted it. As for those in the Danxue Mountains who are disobedient to Him and refuse to leave, just kill them. Don't worry about me.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing was overjoyed. She bowed again and took her leave.
As soon as Gu Qingqing left, deep sorrow filled the old faces of Qingluan and Wangyue. The weary voice of the Golden Mother came out and said, "After the grand banquet, bury me under the Golden Cauldron Palace."
"Your Majesty!" Qingluan cried out, tears streaming down her face.
"Azure Phoenix, Delusional Moon." The Golden Mother Goddess's tall body sank into her vast throne. She said, "My path is wrong. I have lived for so long, dragging my crippled body in a daze. I do not want to continue."
He looked at the two beasts he had raised since they were cubs, and said with a forced smile, "You two are getting old and nearing the end of your lives. Look, your fur has turned white. If you die before me, who will bury me? I'm afraid I'll be devoured before I even die."
As He laughed, His face peeled off like dust. Wang Yue quickly took out a golden mask to put it on Him, but the Golden Mother waved her hand and said, "I won't wear it. If I wear it, I won't feel anything. What difference will it make if I'm like a clay sculpture? I have already accepted this ending. Next, I will visit old friends and travel across the nine provinces. You two come with me."
