The blue-clothed man’s picture scroll quivered as he spoke, until it suddenly opened up to reveal the painting of an extremely beautiful woman. She looked wealthy with a crown full of jewels on her head and looked to be middle age, and as the scroll unfurled, the painting shined before she abruptly walked out of the scroll with an indifferent expression, as though the painting were alive.

“Mother?” The dragon girl was surprised at seeing such a person and quickly bowed.

The woman looked to the dragon girl and sternly asked, “Yinzhu girl, you’ve been hanging around outside for a long while now. Why are you still not coming back to visit me?”

“Zhu’er…. I am seeking a present for Mother Your Majesty’s birthday. Once I find it, I would naturally return…” the dragon girl hesitantly responded without even daring to raise her head.

“Birthday present? Heh, what is the Dragon Palace lacking that would require your hard effort to try to find as a birthday present?” The woman looked at the dragon girl and sneered. “I’m concerned you might have already gotten too wild and have some ulterior motives? This so-called Red Convention, a time where the eldest princess takes all men as her husband, it must have been hard for you. If that phenomenon hadn’t been shown, I really wouldn’t have known you were someone who was able to quietly endure so much. Heh, it would have been fine if you’d truly done all those things, and I might have even genuinely turned a blind eye to you marrying into the Yuan clan where you’d at least be able to live your life smoothly. Since you’ve got some kind of rebellious thoughts against me, though, you’d better come back to the Dragon Palace to fulfil your duty of filial piety towards me!”

The dragon girl turned so distraught it seemed she was about to cry. “Mother… Zhu’er really did not have any rebellious thoughts, I merely wanted to live in peace. I beg for your forgiveness, Mother Your Highness…” Although this woman was not actually physically here and was nothing more than a reflection, the dragon girl still did not even dare to breathe too heavily in front of her.

“Nonsense, how could you not live in peace while also being close to me?” the woman scolded, and a dark smile faintly appeared on her face. “I will certainly dote on you….”

“Yu Mei’er….” After being pushed to her limits, the dragon girl could no longer contain her anger and began to yell back with a hate-filled expression. “Don’t push things too far. You charmed and confused my father, killed my mother, and even ate my younger sisters and brothers. I—Ao Zhen—tolerated this and simply left the Azure Seas to live my life without even daring to think about revenge, so why are you still unwilling to let me go?” Her anger caused murderous intent to fill up the atmosphere and scatter across the sea.

“Oh? You dare call me by name and don’t even call me ‘Mother’ anymore?” The woman sneered once more. “Isn’t your name Ao Yinzhu? When did you change your name back?”

The dragon girl was so furious she no longer showed any fear. ” Yinzhu as in ‘silver pearl’, or Yinzhu as in ‘lecherous pearl’ ¹ ? Do you really think I didn’t know what you had in mind when you gave me my new name? Yu Mei’er, although you and your elder brother of the Nine-Headed Worm clan are yearning for the fortune and Dao of our Dragon Palace, let me tell you it is nothing but a dream. Since you’ve pushed me so tirelessly, I—Ao Zhen—will no longer tolerate it. As long as I live, you will not have everything as you want it.” The seawater below her began to dance in waves, as though something incredibly large was swimming beneath the surface.

A little further away, a giant tidal wave moved closer, and the sea-beast soldiers of the Colored Glass Palace could be faintly seen within. A group of cultivators with all kinds of expressions followed close behind, including Yuan Bizhan, the young island master of the Gold Sea Turtle Island, and the three fairies of the northern mountains. The guests from the Red Convention had been drawn here by the loud commotion, and although they were shocked to see a fight seeming about to brew, they didn’t step forward to help and only watched from afar. At the same time, lightning began to flash around the dragon girl’s body before it condensed into a robe that covered her figure.

“Oh, I wondered why you were chatting with me so patiently; you were waiting for your rescuers to arrive….” The woman instead began to laugh when she saw this. “Heh, you really think I would speak to you for so long without knowing what you had in mind? If I was so lacking in ability I wasn’t able to kill all of your subordinates in one go, how could I feel at ease turning the Azure Seas into the treasure vault of our feathered worm nest?” Her gaze grew cold before she shouted, “Lao’wu, Lao’liu, kill this unrestrained wench! Bring her head back to me and make a soup!”

The fifth prince in the red cape began to madly laugh with blood-red eyes. “Hehe, Mother needs to remember to leave me some. The little dragon who hadn’t yet turned ten tasted so good, and now this one has grown so big there will certainly be more meat and much tastier juice. The thought of it makes me drool….”

As for the scholarly-looking sixth prince, he looked at the dragon girl with regret. “Such a shame with an appearance like that….”

“The Azure Seas have truly gone downhill ever since grandfather disappeared trying to find the immortal’s cave. To have been infested with livestock like you…” the dragon girl muttered to herself before she abruptly raised her head and shouted after a pause, “but do you really think just because I’ve only formed the golden core not long ago, I won’t be your opponent? Today I shall let you see the true difference between the most pure royal blood of the dragons and you hybrid bastards!”

While she was shouting, the dragon girl abruptly shot up into the sky, and the golden cloth of thunderous light that was covering her body began to shine so much it became painful to look at directly. When the brightness finally reduced a bit, the dragon girl of perfect beauty disappeared and a ten-foot-long silvery-white dragon took her place. Its entire body shined amidst the blue sky and a countless number of thunderbolts fell.

At the same time, a tentacle as thick as a mountain range began to stir the waters below before it suddenly thrust towards the scholarly-looking sixth prince—it was a giant sea beast of unimaginable size.

“Hehe, what’s this about royal blood? When it comes to bloodlines, we have the best of both worlds; how could you beat us?” When the dragon girl started rushing towards him amidst the unceasing thunderbolts, he abruptly let out of a shout of his own and his body began to shake. He turned into a giant dragon as well, but his body was a full three times greater than the dragon girl’s at nearly thirty feet in length. His appearance was also a bit different; although his body was technically that of a dragon’s, it was covered in a thick layer of black feathers and although there was a dragon head at the front, there were also eight other bird-shaped heads as well. Such an eerie appearance was extremely revolting to look at.

After turning into his original form, the dragon made threatening gestures and all nine of his heads roared as one. He wasn’t afraid of the falling thunderbolts in the slightest, and he attempted to ram against the dragon girl while splaying out his endless feathers and slashing at the dragon girl’s neck with his sharp claws.

The scholarly-looking sixth prince had changed into his original form and was fighting against the giant beast as well, and the soldiers who’d come along with the two princes battled with the other beasts that occasionally rose from the sea.

“I want to help the princess flee as well!” The sea-snake beast was very loyal; when she saw the situation unfold, she immediately tried to dash out and help.

However, Fang Xing stopped her and said, “What use is there for you to go out? You want to gift them your head?”

The sea-snake beast was angered at this. “The lives of me and my sisters were saved by the princess. So what if we die for her?”

“Whether you live or die doesn’t matter,” Fang Xing coldly replied, “but you’d reveal where I am if you go!”

The sea-snake beast was instantly enraged. She turned into her beast form and tried to attack Fang Xing while her spirit sense trembled with anger. “How utterly shameful! I cannot believe the princess’s virginity was given to someone like you….”

“You’re seeking death!” Fang Xing directly slapped her and caused her to revert back to her human form before he placed a Sense Suspension Talisman against her forehead to keep her from causing any more problems. With that, he creased his brows and carefully observed the situation.

The danger the dragon girl had fallen into was indeed more than he could imagine. This fifth and sixth princes were both mid-Golden Core Stage, and Fang Xing wouldn’t be able to beat any one of them.

It was extremely difficult for even the dragon girl to fight against them; not only did the fifth prince have the special skills of both a dragon and a nine-headed worm, his cultivation level was at the peak of mid-Golden Core Stage. The dragon girl had only just formed the golden core not long ago and was completely suppressed by the dragon three times her size. By now, she’d fallen into a dire situation where even performing a spell had become difficult.

As for the fight between the giant beast and the sixth prince, it was also the same. Although the beast’s size was enormous, its cultivation level was low, and it had quickly become covered in wounds due to the sixth prince’s viciously sly and sinister attacks. Over half a dozen tentacles had been sliced off and its blood stained the sea.

The sea-beast soldiers of the Colored Glass Palace were also heavily wounded by those who came from the Dragon Palace, and had almost no power left to continue fighting. As for the guests led by Yuan Bizhan who’d come from the Red Convention, they all looked at each other but no one actually dared to go help.

“Hehehehe….” The sixth prince constricted the dragon girl in the center of his coils, and a sharp owl-like laughter sounded out. “It seems the royal-blooded dragons are just this much. Eldest Sister, I have been craving the taste of you pure-blooded dragons for a long time already. Mother only likes to drink the juices from the brain, so the flesh on such a good body should be mine….” With another loud laugh, he sent his claws towards the white dragon’s abdomen to try to slice off a few chunks of meat.

The white dragon became extremely angry, and her mouth opened to shout, “How dare a mere bastard like you look down on the royal blood!” At the same time, she seemed to perform some kind of secret spell and golden flames start burning on her white-as-jade body. She thrust her claws towards the black giant dragon’s, but the black dragon didn’t hesitate for even a second before clawing down; he was confident in his unmatched might and that he’d be able to eat this white dragon soon.

Just as the much more feeble-seeming claws of the white dragon were about to collide with the black dragon’s, an area jutted out amidst the four talons and formed into a fifth. When the giant black dragon’s four-taloned claws and the white dragon’s five-taloned claws met, a tornado seemed to spring up and thunder pierced down from the heavens.

” Five-taloned dragon ² ? This bi*ch, does she really have the potential to become the Dragon King?” The giant black dragon was surprised and attempted to flee to get out of the white dragon’s attack range, but he didn’t manage to get very far before the white dragon’s gripped at his claws and tore them apart. Dragon blood fell from the sky and the black dragon tried to escape.

At the same time, the white dragon swallowed for a moment before spitting a golden pellet towards the sixth prince like a projectile. The speed of the golden pellet was as fast as lightning, so much so it turned into a golden light and arrived in front of the sixth prince in the span of only a few breaths. The sixth prince had noticed the black dragon’s howls of pain and had quickly formed layer upon layer of defenses, but it was all destroyed by the golden pellet’s force.

Fang Xing hid in the sky while observing the battle, and he actually began to shiver in fear when he saw the dragon girl display such power.

‘My god, what the hell did I actually just bed?’
