631: Meeting the Dragon Emperor
"Yang Lingchen, if you can truly help the Dragon Clan resolve the issue with Di Wuye, I will be your woman."
A charming smile curled the corners of Long Qinxue's lips as she continued, "However, before you possess the strength to contend with me, you must serve me obediently. Otherwise, do not blame me for being discourteous."
"Alright."
Yang Lingchen nodded, feeling speechless inside. He had spent so much time buttering her up, yet it hadn't had any effect at all.
The beast carriage soon returned to the Princess's Mansion. Yang Lingchen exited Long Qinxue's space and returned to the small courtyard where he resided.
"What kind of game is this brat playing?" After returning to her palace, Long Qinxue fell into deep thought. She really could not understand why he had agreed so readily.
As for Yang Lingchen's declaration of affection, she naturally did not believe it.
In the following days, Yang Lingchen lived quite peacefully. During the day, he would pay his respects to Long Qinxue, and at night, he would Cultivate within the haotian jade space.
Meanwhile, the Wan sisters had returned to Myriad Demon City. Before leaving, however, both sisters had sent a Sound Transmission to Yang Lingchen, urging him to be careful and never to contradict Long Qinxue.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and two months went by.
During this period, the relationship between Yang Lingchen and Long Qinxue gradually grew much closer.
One day, while Yang Lingchen was drinking tea in his small courtyard, Long Qinxue's voice suddenly came through his sound transmission jade: "Tidy yourself up; tonight, you will accompany me to meet my father."
Yang Lingchen did not waste words. He took out a set of luxurious brocade robes from the haotian jade space, put them on, and carefully groomed himself.
By dusk, when he stepped out of his small courtyard, he looked every bit the peerless Young Master.
"This brat is quite pleasing to the eye." When she saw Yang Lingchen, Long Qinxue's eyes involuntarily brightened.
"Am I handsome?" Yang Lingchen asked with a smug expression.
"Average," Long Qinxue said, then walked toward the outside of the Residence.
"That's only average?" Yang Lingchen was speechless and hurriedly followed her out.
The two boarded the beast carriage and headed toward the Dragon Clan Imperial Palace.
"Has the Dragon Emperor left seclusion?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously.
"Yes, I just received news that my father has left seclusion," Long Qinxue replied.
"If your father has left seclusion, why are you taking me along?" Yang Lingchen couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt.
"You were the one who retrieved the remains of my granduncle, weren't you? Naturally, I must take you to meet my father," Long Qinxue said.
"Alright!"
Passing through several bustling streets, the beast carriage soon arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Clan Imperial Palace.
After a simple check and registration, Yang Lingchen followed Long Qinxue into the Imperial Palace.
The Dragon Clan Imperial Palace had a long history. The entire palace was composed of magnificent, golden halls, and from a distance, it exuded an invisible Aura.
After passing through the heavy palace gates, a grand and imposing hall came into Yang Lingchen's view. In front of this hall was a massive plaza.
Under Long Qinxue's guidance, they passed through several palaces and arrived at the Dragon Emperor's inner harem.
The Dragon Emperor's inner harem had a beautiful environment, filled with flowers and plants, the songs of birds, fragrant scents, and rockeries and pavilions everywhere, giving one the feeling of entering a fairyland.
The Dragon Emperor held a supreme position within the Dragon Clan, and his inner harem was filled with countless beauties; these beauties were basically top-tier women from various Yao Race clans.
"Watch yourself. Don't look at what you shouldn't, or no one will be able to save you," Long Qinxue warned.
"Your Highness, rest assured. In my heart, there is only you. Any other woman is merely a passing cloud in my eyes," Yang Lingchen said solemnly.
"What about Wan Xixi?" Long Qinxue's lips suddenly curled slightly.
"My relationship with Wan Xixi is actually just a simple friendship." Then, Yang Lingchen explained how he had pretended to be Wan Xixi's husband.
"You really have no relationship with her?" Long Qinxue's icy eyes stared straight at Yang Lingchen.
"Of course not. We are innocent," Yang Lingchen said earnestly, adding to himself, "For now."
At this moment, the two arrived at a luxurious and elegant palace.
"After we go in, stay by my side. Without my permission, you are not allowed to speak carelessly," Long Qinxue said coldly.
"I'm not a gossip, so naturally I won't speak carelessly," Yang Lingchen retorted.
"Hmm...!" Long Qinxue nodded slightly, extended her snow-white, slender hand, gently took hold of Yang Lingchen, and walked straight into the palace.
This palace was extremely luxurious. In the center of the hall, music and dance were in full swing, and beautiful melodies spread to every corner. The hall was filled with various precious medicinal cuisine.
On the main seat of the hall sat a man and a woman. The man was imposing, mature, and reserved, wearing a golden crown. Between his brows, a trace of an Aura of someone in a high position could be felt, but his complexion was extremely pale; it was clear that his health was not very optimistic.
This man wearing the golden crown was none other than the current Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, Dragon Emperor Long Yanjun.
Beside him was a woman with a mature and voluptuous figure. She was dressed luxuriously and wore a golden empress crown. Her stunning face was lightly made up, and her sexy chin and red lips were as charming and alluring as if carved. A natural Aura emanated from her, giving one a sense of noble untouchability.
This mature and charming woman was none other than the current Dragon Empress, Murong Wu.
"Qinxue greets Father, greets the Dragon Empress." Long Qinxue bowed slightly and performed a salute.
Yang Lingchen reacted quickly and hurriedly followed suit with a salute, "Greetings to the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Empress."
"Xue'er is here? Quickly, come to Father's side." Seeing Long Qinxue arrive, a loving smile appeared on Long Yanjun's face.
Yang Lingchen could tell that Long Yanjun was still very doting on his youngest daughter, Long Qinxue.
As for the Dragon Empress Murong Wu beside him, Yang Lingchen did not dare to look directly at her. Intuition told him that this woman was extremely dangerous, and she was the most dangerous woman he had encountered since his Transmigration.
Although Murong Wu had only glanced at him casually while he was saluting, Yang Lingchen felt as if he were being stared at by a poisonous snake, as if he had no secrets before this person.
"Xue'er, who is this?" Long Yanjun turned his gaze toward Yang Lingchen. Intuition told him that this young man was not simple, and he felt a trace of familiarity from him.
"Father, his name is Yang Lingchen. The reason I brought him here today is that I actually have something to tell you," Long Qinxue said.
"What is it? Tell me," Long Yanjun said with a smile.
"Granduncle Yanshang's remains have been found. It was Yang Lingchen who brought them back." After Long Qinxue finished speaking, she brought out the remains of Dragon Flame Merchant.
Subsequently, Long Qinxue recounted the story of how Yang Lingchen had met Dragon Flame Merchant.
At this moment, the Dragon Clan members in the hall all turned their gazes toward Yang Lingchen.
"Young man, did Granduncle Yanshang really bestow his natal essence blood upon you?" Long Yanjun stared at Yang Lingchen.
"Senior Yanshang indeed infused his natal essence blood into my body," Yang Lingchen said earnestly.
"This brat actually possesses the Bloodline of our Dragon Clan. No wonder his Cross-Rank Challenge ability is so exaggerated."
"I was just saying! How could anyone in this world have such strong Cross-Rank Challenge capabilities?"
For a moment, the Dragon Clan members in the hall began to whisper among themselves, except for Long Aotian and the Third Prince, whose eyes were filled with malice.
"Young man, thank you for returning the remains of Granduncle Yanshang," Long Yanjun said, his face showing gratitude.
"Dragon Emperor, you are too kind," Yang Lingchen replied politely.
"Since Granduncle Yanshang chose you, and you have successfully refined his natal essence blood, from today on, you are a member of our Dragon Clan," Long Yanjun said solemnly.
