Dragon Tamer

“I was merely in secluded cultivation. Had I known the Crown Prince was coming, I, Zhu Minglang, would definitely have arranged a banquet and drink through the night, just like we did back then.” Zhu Minglang also put on a smile.

“Haha, as long as Eldest Son of the Zhu doesn’t casually barge into the princesses’ chambers or accidentally fly into the forbidden lands of the Dragon Country, I, Zhao Ying, will keep you company no matter how you want to drink. By the way, I heard my unworthy brother had some disagreements with you in the Neon Sea, please don’t take it to heart, Zhu Eldest Son. You are now shining brightly, a leading figure in military leadership,” Zhao Ying said very politely.

There were many people around, and one by one they made their way into the banquet.

The fact that the Crown Prince personally greeted him signified Zhu Minglang was an important figure of the night; yet Zhao Ying, despite being the Crown Prince, showed such humble respect to Zhu Minglang, which truly puzzled many onlookers.

Even though Zhu Minglang had recently risen to prominence, everyone was clear that a major reshuffling was imminent in the Supreme Court, and who would ultimately have the upper hand still depended on the support of a godly patron!

“Zhao Yu, apologize to Mr. Zhu, after all, we have more important matters to discuss with Zhu Eldest Son,” Zhao Ying glanced at his younger brother, speaking in a seemingly gentle manner but with an imperative tone.

Zhao Yu’s face instantly turned sour.

He loathed Zhu Minglang to the bone, yet he had to bow and apologize to this man???

He was a prince of the Supreme Court, how could he possibly make an apology to the son of a Family Door!

Grudgingly clenching his teeth, Zhao Yu finally lowered his head, cupped his hands together in a salute, and very reluctantly offered an apology to Zhu Minglang.

Although it was only a minor gesture of apology, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhao Yu felt as if his body was crawling with venomous insects, enduring a torture as if being gnawed and nibbled a thousand times!

“If there’s something you wish to say, just come out with it,” Zhu Minglang said.

“We want to reclaim the ruling authority of Ancestral Dragon City-State from your hands. Of course, the Li Family Courtyard, the Nan Family Residence, those that originally belonged to you, will still be yours, but all matters and military control of this city will be taken over by our Royal Family,” Zhao Ying said with a smile, choosing his words with delicate care.

“Is that it?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“That’s it.”

“First of all, the city belongs to Li Yunzi, not to me. Second, I would like to refuse on behalf of my wife,” Zhu Minglang said with the same calm.

Slowly, a bit of Zhao Ying’s smile sank, and after a brief pause, he continued, “The Nothingness Fog has dissipated, and as you know, we all are about to face a much more formidable enemy from the Outer Regions. If we do not unite and stand together now, annihilation awaits us all.”

“Aren’t we united now, gathering together on such a raucous night to share a banquet of fine wines and dishes?” Zhu Minglang raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

“Well then, what if I reclaim this land by the will of the Emperor?” Zhao Ying said.

“The Zhu Gate, the Yaoshan Sword Sect are the powers seated here; you’d better deliver the Emperor’s decree to Zhu Heavenly Officer and the old Sword Sovereign, why burden me, a lackadaisical son, with it?” Zhu Minglang said.

So you have a father??

Zhu Minglang sneered inwardly.

Thinking to suppress me with an imperial edict!

“Heh, it seems you don’t understand anything, Zhu Minglang. I had my brother, who is a prince, apologize to you, already giving you enough face…” Zhao Ying, now somewhat dissatisfied with Zhu Minglang’s blatant defiance against the Royal Family’s command, continued, “If you still understand how to judge the situation, you’ll regret it by sunrise!”

Crown Prince, you’ve exposed yourself.

Previously, Zhu Minglang couldn’t be certain whether the Royal Family already had powerful backers.

Now he could be sure of it.

Zhao Ying said no more, his gaze just became less friendly, as if he had already categorized Zhu Minglang as someone “ungrateful,” and there was no need to pretend civility anymore.

Zhu Minglang took his seat.

Beside him were Li Xinghua and Nan Lingsha, both wearing veils.

Today they coincidentally wore the same outfits and had identical hairstyles as a protective measure for Li Xinghua, who lacked formidable martial power.

Li Yunzi did not show herself or communicate with these people.

Naturally, Zhu Minglang became the spokesperson for Ancestral Dragon City.

“Zhu Minglang!” A euphonious and pleasant voice rang out next to him.

Without even turning his head, Zhu Minglang acted as if he hadn’t heard.

But that woman was not an easy one to ignore, she walked over gracefully, and as her pink lips slightly parted, her smile was somewhat teasing.

“Husband, why sit with two low-status concubines?” Wen Lingfei slowly bent down, brought her face close to Zhu Minglang’s, and spoke with provocation.

She wore no face adornment nor a veil, and moreover, her makeup, which was beautiful yet alluring and sensual, seemed to be a full embrace of herself. Was the female Sect Leader from Yaoshan Sword Sect completely letting herself go?

“This female cultivator, since we’ve just met by chance, let’s not say such frivolous words. The woman at my side is the wife I married with a proper wedding ceremony…” Zhu Minglang stretched out his hand and boldly wrapped it around the beauty beside him.

But the beauty immediately raised her eyes, and glared fiercely at Zhu Minglang, her expression clearly conveying to Zhu Minglang the message, “Blood Splatter Ten Steps!”

Zhu Minglang felt extremely embarrassed, and while stating the facts, he quickly changed hands to embrace the other beauty on his right side.

Fate loves to mock people, when you’re forced to make a choice between two, you always start with the wrong one.

“Whether it is or it isn’t, it’s not for you to decide,” Wen Lingfei said, slightly raising the corners of her mouth.

“???” Zhu Minglang hated Wen Lingfei’s attitude the most.

As a proud and upright man, how could he possibly submit to the lascivious power of a queen from a nation of only women?

“Zhu Minglang, you should be clear that in Miao Kingdom we either welcome multiple sons-in-law or follow a path of monogamy. There’s no way we allow a man who marries into our kingdom to take concubines. I could change the national rules of Miao Kingdom for you, but those two could only ever be concubines,” Wen Lingfei pressed aggressively.

“Wen Mengru, I don’t think your sister took her medicine today, take her away quickly,” Zhu Minglang said to the woman behind her.

“Sister, after coming here you’ve also heard many stories about them, which obviously predate your son-in-law recruitment. Why would you now try to break them apart?” Wen Mengru spoke in a barely audible voice.

“Mind your own business!” Wen Lingfei shot a fierce glance at Wen Mengru.

“Female donor, with a formidable enemy at the gates of the Outer Regions, you show no concern for the fate of Supreme Court, yet you still have the mood to force an impossible romance here. I really don’t know whether to say you’re carefree or overly confident,” Zhu Minglang said.

Wen Lingfei narrowed her eyes slightly.

What did this fellow know?

Wen Lingfei’s gaze fell upon Li Xinghua.

It was rather strange.

Last time, Li Yunzi was equally aggressive and showed not the slightest intention of conceding. But this time, why was she as silent as if she had become a completely different person?

Wen Lingfei had come to stir up trouble, after all.

But no matter how she provoked, Li Yunzi did not respond.

This made things somewhat uninteresting.

As for Zhu Minglang’s attitude…

Wen Lingfei didn’t care in the slightest.

Had she not conquered the world, she would have conquered the man.

“Forget it, tonight you two will serve the husband,” said Wen Lingfei, her eyes lifting arrogantly, as if a true master couldn’t be bothered to argue with two little fox demons.

After saying this, Wen Lingfei had already gracefully turned and left.

She was incomparably elegant and breathtaking, and as the Sect Leader of the Miao Mountain Sword Sect, she had a transcendent status. Naturally, she attracted attention at the banquet.

Of course, what was more important was that both the Lower God Organization and other powers within the Supreme Court had somehow learnt some news about the Miao Mountain Sword Sect.

Don’t provoke them!

This had suddenly placed the Miao Mountain Sword Sect in an exalted position, shrouded in a veil of mystery.

“Princess Luoshui, the Crown Prince would like to speak a few words with you,” said Prince Zhao Yu, forcing up a smile.

“I’m not interested.” Wen Lingfei couldn’t be bothered to glance at Zhao Yu and more directly refused Crown Prince Zhao Ying’s cordial invitation.

Zhao Yu’s expression grew even uglier. As the host of this event, he had already lowered his pride to please the Miao Mountain Sword Sect, but Wen Lingfei simply didn’t take him, the Crown Prince, seriously!

In the past, even if Wen Lingfei did not regard the Royal Family highly, she wouldn’t dare to show such open contempt!

Behind the Miao Mountain Sword Sect, which deity was it precisely?

Zhu Minglang became even more curious.

Wen Lingfei wanted to possess the Ancestral Dragon City-State; there was no doubt about that.

Yet she didn’t seem as eager as the other forces, as if they already had a way to deal with the impending tide of darkness.

“The god supporting Wen Lingfei seems to be quite influential. Why don’t you just submit to her?” At this moment, the woman capable of making him “Blood Splatter Ten Steps” let out a laugh that tempted the heartstrings.

Zhu Minglang turned his head and glanced at Nan …

Oh, Miss Yu So.

Only the mischievous little fairy sister could be so gloating.

When had they switched?

Was it during the embrace, or was it before?

“If I submit, you would have to be a concubine. Can you accept that?” Zhu Minglang asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I don’t mind. I don’t really have feelings for you anyway and I could even help you persuade my sisters.”

“Yu So, stop messing around,” Li Xinghua couldn’t listen any longer.

This girl had become lawless, daring to speak such shameless words!

Zhu Minglang shook his head helplessly.

Had it not been for the prior agreement with Li Yunzi that only she would deal with Wen Lingfei’s matters, how could Zhu Minglang have allowed her to be so domineering?

“Tonight, I’ve called everyone here to point out a way to survive. But, if there are those who still refuse to recognize their place, there is only one outcome — annihilation!” declared the Crown Prince Zhao Ying who was presiding.

Many people snorted at Crown Prince Zhao Ying’s words.

Firstly, the Great Zhou Clan’s people already didn’t treat the Royal Family seriously.

Wen Lingfei was even less interested in hearing the Crown Prince Zhao Ying scare people with his words.

But not all forces had found something to rely on.

Many still felt uneasy; once the Nothingness Fog dispersed, annihilation was indeed what awaited them — and it would come in an unknown manner!

Having said this, Crown Prince Zhao Ying then turned his gaze to Zhu Minglang, as if intending to isolate Zhu Minglang from the united family.

The ungrateful ones referred to, of course, were Li Yunzi and Zhu Minglang.

This city would ultimately need an owner, yet they were unwilling to belong to any side. Wasn’t that courting death!

“Everyone, the Outer Regions’ forces are attacking, and naturally, the Ancestral Dragon City-State will fight with all its might to expel the foreign enemies and ensure everyone’s safety. However, during this process, I would ask you all to behave and refrain from causing trouble within our city-state,” Zhu Minglang spoke up.

Crown Prince Zhao Ying frowned.

He was the one presiding over the grand situation tonight.

As soon as it was day, the members of the Lower God Organization would begin to arrive.

They were children of a god. How could an ignorant being like you possibly contend with them!
