Chapter 545: Chapter 543: The Nebula Rankings Competition
“But the Dragon Mother has found numerous Beast Husbands, with over a hundred just in name, not to mention countless others without any title, and yet she has only sired eight Dragon Sons.”
“They say once the ninth of the extreme number is reached, the ninth child’s birth will undoubtedly lead to the Dragon Mother’s death. Hence, the choice of father for the ninth Dragon Son must be made with great caution. This Beast Husband from the Giant Elephant Clan may not be the Dragon Father.”
“Recently, a Divine Child was born at Jiushen Mountain, which inspired the Dragon Mother to consider having another child. Interestingly, none of the eight Dragon Sons possess a God Rank Talent.”
“There is one, that traitor.”
“That mutated freak? Forget about it, the Dragon Mother doesn’t even acknowledge him as a Dragon Son. He dared to rob the ancestral graves; if caught, he’d be skinned and flayed as a warning to others.”
…
Sally, upon hearing this, already had her suspicions confirmed.
Lan Shi, indeed, had a notorious reputation within the Azure Dragon Clan, and the clan members had been searching for him, no wonder he had been mingling in the Lower Realm all this time.
On the other hand, since the Dragon Mother has chosen a Beast Husband from the Giant Elephant Clan who came from the Lower Realm, it has shown her stance that the Azure Dragon Clan has nothing to do with the Zhengxian Sect.
Suddenly, Sally remembered Little Green Snake; she wondered what his true identity was.
After leaving the sundries shop, she found a secluded place, transformed back into her human form, and prepared a gift box and a letter detailing Lan Shi’s whereabouts, before heading to the Dragon Mother’s spouse-acceptance feast.
Once the gift was delivered, Sally did not stay any longer and left the feast.
Upon exiting Azure Dragon City, Sally transformed into a little white mouse again.
This time, she headed in a different direction, towards the Mist Forest.
The Defense Array of the Azure Dragon Clan, restrictive as it was against unauthorized entries, allowed departures without much fuss unless there were special circumstances.
She climbed a gigantic tree and stood at its top, gazing at the Azure Dragon Mountain Range. It resembled a massive true dragon resting in place, with the rich Immortal Spirit Qi here, cultivation would be doubly effective.
Little Shiba was let out of the System Space by Sally, and seeing his bright and energetic little form, Sally said with a smile, “How about taking Mom back to South-North Commerce? Is that good?”
“Yes, Mom,” Little Shiba replied, carrying Sally on his back, fluttering his wings and reaching a thousand meters away in no time.
After she left, in the Mist Forest, a Little Green Snake also followed her through the forest and slithered away…
…
Ming Linyuan was just about to close the door when he saw his youngest son coming back carrying a little white mouse.
“Oh~, where did you two come from?” Ming Linyuan asked with a smile.
Sally teleported onto Ming Linyuan’s shoulder, “Ask your son.”
Ming Linyuan looked at his still fluffy young son, “Where did you take your mom for a fun jaunt?”
Little Shiba’s eyes sparkled, “Dad, your son ventured into the Azure Dragon Clan.”
Sally laughed with a ‘pfft~’.
“…I heard the Azure Dragon Clan is fraught with peril; you really went there?” Qing Linghuan couldn’t help worrying.
Sally replied, “We just came back from the Mist Forest. As for being fraught with peril, I didn’t feel it at all.”
“Then you’re really lucky,” Ming Linyuan pulled them both into his embrace and left the commerce, walking down the street.
His outstanding appearance attracted many female gazes.
“Is that so?” Sally took out a fur comb and started grooming Little Shiba’s fur, “I had quite an uneventful journey, went around inside the Azure Dragon Clan, and encountered nothing.”
Ming Linyuan was surprised, “How is that possible! I’ve heard that whether inside the Azure Dragon City or outside in the Mist Forest of the Azure Dragon Clan, there are various Divine Level Prohibitions.”
“When I entered, I was escorted by Little Miqi, but when I left, it was Little Shiba.”
“Little Miqi’s talent is pretty formidable. As for Little Shiba, she just got lucky, I guess.” Ming Linyuan laughed. “It’s good that you’ve come back safely. Did you find anything interesting?”
“The Azure Dragon Clan’s Dragon Mother has taken a Beast Husband from the Giant Elephant Clan who migrated from the Lower Realm. Moreover, Lan Shi’s reputation within the Azure Dragon Clan is extremely poor, to the point where the people of the Azure Dragon Clan are secretly trying to capture him.”
“That should make things easier. We just need to leak information about Lan Shi to the Azure Dragon Clan. Without Lan Shi, the Zhengxian Sect is nothing to worry about.”
“Let’s wait a few more days. The Azure Dragon Clan should take action soon. Even if they don’t, at least this rules out an alliance between the Azure Dragon Clan and the Zhengxian Sect.”
“That’s a significant gain. Let’s have a good meal to celebrate.” Ming Linyuan, accompanied by Sally and Little Shiba, went to Su’s Tavern.
As soon as they entered, they spotted an acquaintance.
Welly was helping clear tables, wearing a pair of glasses that hid his overly attractive eyes, but it was clear that many were still checking him out.
Ming Linyuan called out with delight, “Welly, you’re finally here.”
Welly glanced at Sally lying in Ming Linyuan’s arms and at Little Shiba, revealing a faint smile, “Mm, your commerce is flourishing everywhere, congratulations.”
“I’m just good at business, and I’ve even opened an Elixir Pharmacy. If you have any elixirs you want to sell, feel free to bring them in.”
“Thanks, fourth brother.” Welly came closer, then handed a Storage Bag to Sally.
With a thought, Sally took the Storage Bag using her Divine Sense and continued to cling to Ming Linyuan’s embrace.
Welly didn’t seem irritated, but the warmth in his eyes faded slightly.
Zulu came over and called Ming Linyuan, “It’s a coincidence today; Zong Silu is also here. Let’s all go to his private room.”
“Sure.” Ming Linyuan said, heading upstairs with Little Shiba and Sally in his arms.
Welly said, “I’ll be busy for a little while longer and come over later.”
Zulu replied, “Don’t worry about it. Let the staff handle it.”
“I’ll come over when there are fewer customers.” Welly gently declined and moved towards a table of newly arrived guests, inviting them to place their orders.
Zong Silu had just seen off some guests and was preparing to leave with some items when he saw Ming Linyuan arriving with Sally and the child, which made him pause in surprise.
Ming Linyuan said, “I’ve brought Yanyan here for a meal. Zulu told me you were here, so we came over.”
“Mm. The Nebula Rankings competition is about to start, and the Divine Beast Academy is seeking to participate, currently in negotiations about this.” Zong Silu replied, taking Sally from Ming Linyuan’s arms and placing her in the seat of honor.
Sally reverted to her human form and responded, “For the Nebula Rankings, we could ask Sanlang for help.”
“Is that possible?” Zong Silu was hitting walls everywhere; the organizers of the Nebula Rankings refused to accept the entry of the Divine Beast Academy outright.
“Of course, it is. The last Nebula Rankings champion was the Saintess of the Qingluan Clan, whom I happen to know.”
“The Qingluan Clan is actually the host of this Nebula Rankings competition. They flat-out refused to process the Divine Beast Academy’s application, and today is the last day.”
“Even if Sanlang comes, he might not make it in time.” Sally suddenly remembered something, took out a miscellaneous Storage Bag from the System Space.
After rummaging for a while, she pulled out a Sound Transmission Talisman.
It bore the image of an azure Phoenix Bird.
“What is this?” Ming Linyuan looked at the Sound Transmission Talisman.
Sally replied, “This is from the Qingluan Clan Saintess, I was about to throw it out as trash.”
Ming Linyuan: “…”
Zong Silu: “…”
Sally used the Sound Transmission Talisman— “To disturb Your Highness the Saintess, I am Zhu Sanlang’s companion, Sally. We are currently at Su’s Tavern, and if you have some spare time, I’d be honored to meet.”
