This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Zhan Fengting was startled and quickly glanced at Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi. He saw Yan Tianhen secretly laughing while covering his mouth–Zhan Fengting’s face turned red.

He was already very thin-skinned, and Hai Kuanglang was so frivolous and bold; it made him a little embarrassed. But even if he was embarrassed, he was still reluctant to part with this responsibility.

“What nonsense, you just talk a lot.” Zhan Fengting pinched Hai Kuanglang’s face and glared at him.

Hai Kuanglang’s eyes were smiling, his gaze swept away sloppily, and suddenly stared at the chariot that was being pulled by eight sea-green horses flying past everyone’s heads from the widest avenue. His face changed suddenly.

All of a sudden, his pair of eyes became cold.

The wind blew, lifting up the dazzling bead curtain of the carriage, and a woman with a white gauze with misty clouds covering her face flashed past his sight. Zhan Fengting looked up in that direction and was also startled.

“Who is that?” Yan Tianhen asked, raising his face.

It’s not that he deliberately noticed the magnificent carriage that flew past, but the fragrance around it was so conspicuous that Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but look up in the direction where the fragrance was dissipating.

Hai Kuanglang answered, “She’s not a good person. Next time you see her, just stay a little farther away. There’s no need to say anything to her.”

After speaking, Hai Kuanglang stepped forward. “Let’s go quickly, there is still a long way to the Dragon Palace.”

Zhan Fengting sighed softly and lowered his eyes.

Yan Tianhen was very surprised. As long as Hai Kuanglang saw someone from the Longyao family, he would act like, “Laozi is No.1, so I’m too lazy to pay attention to you.” However, Yan Tianhen had never seen this reaction before.

Yan Tianhen asked, “Shixiong, who is that woman? If you don’t tell me now. It won’t be long before we arrive and I might meet that woman. You might as well say it early so that I can prepare early. What if that woman decides to seduce me…”

“If she wants to seduce you, what will you do?” Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen lightly.

Yan Tianhen immediately expressed his loyalty. He patted his chest and vowed, “Of course, I will refuse her honestly. After all, I have a family now, and my feelings for Dage can be known by heaven and earth, and can be expressed by the sun and moon. This oath is constant and unchanging — even if the sea turns dry and the rocks break apart, or even if the world ends!”

Lin Xuanzhi gave him a satisfied smile.

Zhan Fengting couldn’t help laughing. “How many times have you practiced this in your heart? You said it so smoothly and skillfully that it doesn’t seem to be the first time you said it.”

Yan Tianhen smiled and said proudly, “I never need to prepare in advance when I say this to Dage. After all, it’s what my heart wants, so nothing about it is exaggerated.”

Yan Tianhen asked, “Do you envy our good feelings? Our deep affections? Aren’t you and Hai Shixiong the same?”

Hearing this, Yan Tianhen looked at Lin Xuanzhi involuntarily — right, in the eyes of unsuspecting people, they were really smooth sailing. They got together almost without any setbacks, as if Heaven was promoting their marriage for them.

But in fact, only they themselves knew how much pain they had suffered and how many joys and sorrows they had experienced before they finally reached this day.

However, as long as the final result was good, then so what if they experienced setbacks?

Hai Kuanglang slowed down to eavesdrop.

Zhan Fengting said, “The woman just now is named Longyao Yizhu, and has a very special identity in the Longyao family. She is a Holy Maiden of the Dragon family. She has the bloodline of the true dragon. At the age of 18, she was already a Holy Maiden recognized by the true dragon.”

Yan Tianhen suddenly realized.

The Dragon Family had always attached great importance to bloodlines, but the true dragon only existed in the upper realm. If descendants of the dragon family in the Nine Lands wanted to turn into a dragon, one of the essential conditions was the purity of the bloodline.

If the bloodline was impure and mixed with the blood of other dragon races, they were basically doomed to have no chance to turn into a dragon.

The purest true dragon bloodline in the world was not actually the offspring born by the union of the two members with the purest blood in the dragon clan, but the offspring born by the union of a member of the dragon clan and the Holy Maiden of the family, who was selected by the true dragon.

The Dragon Tomb was the most sacred place in the dragon clan. Even descendants find it difficult to enter freely. However, the dragon clan’s Holy Maiden recognized and selected by the Dragon Ancestor can withstand all the damage from the Dragon Tomb and even communicate with the soul consciousness left by the Dragon Ancestor.

In the eyes of the Longyao family, the Holy Maiden was the closest to the existence of God. Every Dragon Emperor chose the Holy Maiden as his Dragon Queen without exception, which was also an important reason why the Longyao family could keep their blood pure for tens of thousands of years and enjoy unique advantages among the other aquatic clans.

Lin Xuanzhi lifted his eyes slightly and said, “But I can’t feel any holy aura on her.”

Yan Tianhen looked at Lin Xuanzhi and said, “I can’t feel it either.”

The Holy Maidens of the dragon clan were said to have existed since tens of thousands of years ago, and Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen, who had seen the great world in their previous lives and had directly dealt with the dragon clan, had both met the Holy Maiden of that era — the wife of the Dragon Emperor back then.

Lin Xuanzhi remembered clearly that when the Dragon Queen appeared for the first time, he could even see with his naked eyes the almost thick pale golden blessings and merits lingering around her. It was extremely rare.

In fact, the Holy Maiden was not called the Holy Maiden completely because of the purity of blood, but because the birth of the true dragon’s bloodline required an absolutely special constitution. After all, the birth of divine creatures like dragons and phoenixes could take anywhere from hundreds to thousands of years.

If ordinary people became pregnant with the blood of a true dragon, they would die in a few days. They wouldn’t be able to bear such a natural blessing at all. Only those with a special constitution born with great blessings, great fortune, and great merit would be able to suppress the backlash from the pregnancy.

But for Longyao Yizhu, Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen could only see her back then, which was enough for him to see the blessing around her. Although there was a trace of blessings around her, it was definitely not enough to support the birth of the true dragon bloodline.

However, Hai Kuanglang didn’t care and said, “In any case, I don’t want her no matter what. What does it matter whether she is a Holy Maiden or not?”

Zhan Fengting looked at Hai Kuanglang and said, “If you become the Dragon Emperor, you are bound to marry her.”

Hai Kuanglang looked back at Zhan Fengting and said wildly, “If I become the Dragon Emperor, I don’t care what clan rules there are. You are the only one I want.”

Zhan Fengting was helpless, but he felt sweet. Finally, he could only say, “Oh, you.”

Yan Tianhen covered his mouth and smiled, winking at Lin Xuanzhi again, which meant that if he became the Emperor one day, he would only marry Lin Xuanzhi as his wife.

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and said, “Are you sure you want me to be the wife?”

Yan Tianhen: “…”

The group arrived at the Dragon Palace before sunset.

The high gate stood tall, the white jade served as the pillar, and a coiled dragon was overlaid on the sky pillar, with its eyes looking down on all sentient beings. Standing in front of the gate, they could feel the grandeur and majesty of the dragon clan, which was indeed the royal clan of the entire North Lands.

The Longyao family was heavily guarded. Before reaching the gate, there were disciples of the Longyao clan in light armor and soldiers who had come down from the battlefield of the Northern border in heavy armor patrolling back and forth.

During this period of time, because of the Longyao clan’s competition for the Crown Prince position, many people from other Divine Clans of the Nine Lands were invited to come to watch and cheer, so there were quite a few strangers coming and going.

The general of the light armoured cavalry was a junior of the Longyao clan. He saw Hai Kuanglang coming from a distance. He grabbed the reins, and turned over and got off the horse, leveling his sword at Hai Kuanglang and the group of people.

“Hai Kuanglang, how dare you come back!”

After hearing the cold voice, Lin Xuanzhi and the others looked up and saw a tall and handsome man with snow-green hair and bright green eyes walking straight towards this side.

Hai Kuanglang saw this person and recognized his identity, so he raised his lips and said, “Longyao Chuanyun, long time no see. You have been promoted.”

The man who was called Longyao Chuanyun stared at Hai Kuanglang angrily, squeezing the hilt of the sword in his hand. He looked like he could attack at a moment’s notice.

“Coward! Pah!” Longyao Chuanyun cursed.

Hai Kuanglang couldn’t help laughing. He went over and spread his hand. “Haven’t I come back again? When I left back then, I said that I will come back and get back what belongs to me one day. How about it, am I a man of my word?”

Longyao Chuanyun glared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled. He opened his hand and hugged Hai Kuanglang heavily, pounded his back and said, “You fucker, you just left without leaving a word. I thought you were killed by those people who didn’t like you. I’ve been looking for you for a long time until you finally wrote to me afterwards. Damn it, I’m still thinking, if you still act wantonly and refuse to return to compete for the Crown Prince position, I will definitely not admit that I once made friends with you, a coward.”

Hai Kuanglang also smiled sincerely. “Of course. After all, I am not a coward.”

There were people coming and going. Longyao Chuanyun quickly let go of Hai Kuanlang and looked at the people next to him.

When he saw Zhan Fengting, he couldn’t help being taken aback; he hesitantly said, “Are you… Zhan Fengting?”

Zhan Fengting nodded and smiled kindly. “We have met a few times before. I even held you when you were young.”

Longyao Chuanyun’s handsome face blushed suddenly, and he said in a bewildered manner, “This kind of thing, you don’t have to mention it now. But indeed, I seem to have been held by…”

“Cough cough cough!” Hai Kuanglang coughed abruptly, narrowing his eyes at Longyao Chuanyun.

Longyao Chuanyun asked blankly, “What’s wrong?”

Yan Tianhen, “Hahaha.”

Hai Kuanglang even ate this kind of vinegar. He really admired Hai Kuanglang.

“These two, one is my direct junior martial brother, and the other is an elder of Myriad Dao Academy.” Hai Kuanglang glared at Yan Tianhen in warning, and then began to introduce Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen, “Yan Tianhen and Huarong Sword Venerable.”

He went on to introduce his childhood friend: “This is Longyao Chuanyun, one of my few friends in the clan. He also has a younger brother, Longyao Yueshuo. We will see him soon.”

When Longyao Chuanyun heard the names of the two, even his eyes clung to them, especially Lin Xuanzhi, who had now been listed as the tenth known Grandmaster. “You actually found the two of them to attend the ceremony.” Longyao Chuanyun gasped.

“Not just to watch the ceremony.” Hai Kuanglang corrected, “One of them is the helper who was dragged down by me to fight for the Crown Prince position, and the other is to support me and cheer me up.”

Longyao Chuanyun: “…”
