Chapter 210: Suppressing the Cracks with Your Body
Chapter 210: Suppressing the Cracks with Your Body
The old Dragon King appeared, wearing a nine-layered crown, exuding domineering and natural majesty. The moment he appeared, Qin Baiqing clearly felt that the water around him was in awe, and the water monsters bowed their heads.
There was no sign of the embarrassment he felt when he was teased by Si Lingyue.
But when the Dragon King saw the subtle similarities between Qin Baiqing and Si Lingyue, he stopped in his tracks uncontrollably and felt a headache.
"Are you the thief's accomplice?"
He raised his hand to suppress the restless pursuers and questioned Qin Baiqing in a deep voice. The first sentence he said made Qin Baiqing open her eyes wide with interest.
"I know your identity, and I also know your mother's identity. I have kept it secret for the sake of dignity for both of us, and it is also a sign of respect from my dragon clan to the Venerable."
"But," he paused, his face darkening, "the dragon clan has no intention of opposing you, Your Excellency, but we hope that you can return the dragon clan's treasure, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on."
"Do you know my mother?" Qin Baiqing looked at the old Dragon King curiously.
He was just an ordinary overlord of a small world. After she was sure that the other party posed no threat, she became more confident and ignored the old Dragon King's suggestion to keep things peaceful.
"Well, Uncle Dragon King," she smiled sweetly, waved to the old Dragon King, and whispered mysteriously: "My mother won't let me say it, but I can tell you quietly."
The Dragon King remained unmoved. Qin Baiqing sighed helplessly and had to pick up the hammer again, ready to smash the elder to pieces. She looked back and forth at the elder's frozen body, looking for a suitable place to start.
She looked innocent, "Uncle Dragon King, do you really not want to listen?"
"Everyone step back." The Dragon King suppressed the anger of the crowd.
He stepped forward reluctantly, with a tolerant attitude, and took the initiative to ask: "Don't worry, little girl, you have made up for your mother's mistakes, and she will understand you."
"Of course mother will forgive me, because," Qin Baiqing waited for the old dragon king to lean over to listen, then leaned close to his ear and spoke quickly, "because I know your secret. There is something wrong with your dragon marrow."
There was a glimmer of pride and eagerness to try between his eyebrows.
As soon as she finished speaking, the spiritual energy around her became much more dignified.
The old Dragon King had a solemn aura, with a dark light flashing in his eyes. When he turned sideways and looked at Qin Baiqing, he returned to normal. His majestic aura inevitably leaked out, trying to suppress Qin Baiqing in bits and pieces.
Although the people around didn't know what was going on, when they saw the old Dragon King's reaction, their faces inevitably changed, and their hostile eyes fell on Qin Baiqing.
"It's okay," he calmly assured everyone, "Everyone please leave. I have something to say to you, my friend."
The two of them watched in silence as everyone dispersed. The Dragon King's expression gradually became serious. He turned sideways and said to Qin Baiqing, "Come with me."
"Where are you taking me?"
Qin Baiqing followed the Dragon King curiously and asked, "Are there cracks on your seabed that caused the dragon marrow to be contaminated? You are so useless that you don't even know your treasure is contaminated."
She followed the old Dragon King nonchalantly, taking in the sight of the Dragon Palace, and was surprised to find that the luxurious style was somewhat similar to that of the Xinghai Sect.
Well, I miss home.
Qin Baiqing sighed and tried to comfort herself in a mature manner, but she couldn't help accusing Xiao Xingyun in her heart. She had insisted on looking for the emperor's palace in the mortal world, and now, when she saw a palace, she began to miss the emperor.
I will punish Xiao Xingyun when I get back!
Her thoughts drifted away, not taking the pollution too seriously, until the steady voice of the old Dragon King woke her up.
"My friend, you guessed correctly. The dragon clan did have the cracks you mentioned. Previously, my dragon clan had suppressed it with their bodies, so that it would not leak too much... Unfortunately, there were some oversights, and my friend actually saw through it. I am really ashamed."
"Ah... physical suppression?" Qin Baiqing exclaimed. In this case, the old Dragon King seemed to be a good person?
She was thinking aimlessly as she went deeper and deeper with the Dragon King. The atmosphere around them became stagnant and dark, carrying an ominous omen, squeezing Qin Baiqing's mind, which had just relaxed.
More guards began to appear around, looking at Qin Baiqing with unspoken malice. They glared at Qin Baiqing's figure with unfriendly expressions, and their gazes moved with her slightest movement.
Not wanting to miss any of her subtle reactions, he stared at her intently.
"These people don't seem to like me very much," Qin Baiqing muttered to the Void Bracelet, "Some people actually don't like the cute little treasure, is it because my mother took away the dragon marrow?"
Even if my mother got the dragon marrow, there shouldn't be so many people who dislike her!
She was not convinced, so she simply looked away and pretended not to care about what these people thought. However, after her mind was distracted, the subtle intuition that had been ignored rushed to Qin Baiqing's forehead, causing her to suddenly stop and stand there in horror.
The instinct that came later reminded Qin Baiqing to run!
"Woo!"
She was terrified and subconsciously tried to ask for help. After realizing that her mother and Feng Budu were not around, she forced herself to remain calm and said to the old Dragon King, "Uncle Dragon King, I don't want to see it anymore. Well, I'm leaving."
After saying that, he turned around decisively, made a bitter face and tried to escape.
"Oh, is it too late to leave now?"
The Dragon King chuckled coldly, and turned around to reveal a cold face, "Now that you have entered my Dragon Palace, how can I let you leave whenever you want?"
"Well... my mother asked me to go home for dinner." Qin Baiqing felt guilty. She gave him a hard smile and anxiously urged the Void Bracelet in her heart, "Hurry up, hurry up, he is so fierce, Void Bracelet, don't pretend to be dead."
"My young master, the void is blocked here, I can't get out..."
The Void Bracelet cried louder than Qin Baiqing, wailing in grief: "The bracelet is useless, I'm sorry, little master, woo woo, I can't get out, I can't teleport here!"
"What's the use of you!" She simply blocked out the crying of the Void Bracelet.
Then he tried to remain calm and threatened the old Dragon King: "You can't arrest me. My mother is still here. If she finds out, she will come to avenge me."
"It's just an incarnation. Little girl, do you think I can't see it?"
He looked down on Qin Baiqing with his hands behind his back, "The small world has limits on cultivation. No matter how strong she is, she is no match for the sky here. Not only will I capture you, I will also find ways to avenge your domineering mother."
"Hey!"
"It's really over now." Qin Baiqing bit her fingers and felt sad alone.
She said goodbye to Si Lingyue and the others in her heart. The more she looked at the guards who were gradually approaching, the colder her heart became. Finally, she simply closed her eyes and cried bitterly while hugging the Void Bracelet in her sea of consciousness.
It really flipped over...
The murderous intent turned into reality, and the water flow around Qin Baiqing slowed down to almost stop. It entangled her like a quagmire, trapping her in place, and the coldness penetrated into her bones.
The next moment, a pair of dry and warm hands covered Qin Baiqing's ears, instantly dispelling the sticky murderous intent brought by the sea water. Someone reminded her before she lost her hearing: "Close your eyes."
She closed her eyes obediently. After she fell into darkness, the Dragon Palace erupted with huge earthquakes and flames everywhere.
