Below the water surface.
The restless Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon was slightly startled, sensing two auras it feared quickly receding.
Its massive golden eyes suddenly brightened.
An opportunity has arisen!
Once those two auras completely vanished from its perception, it could no longer restrain itself, surging out with a splash from the water, darting straight toward the outside of the embanknt.
Once it crossed that embanknt, Anjiang would not be far away. Once in the river, it would reign supre!
Then, it would definitely devour these humans who bullied and scared it!
However, just as the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon soared into the air, joyfully envisioning its bright future, a clear female voice rang from the shore: "Ugly loach, with Grandma here, you dare to run?"
As the voice spoke, the inconspicuous little fiery-red fox, originally lying under the table, yawned and lifted its head.
It turned out that although Wang Shouzhe left, he had left the Seven-tailed Fire Fox behind.
Under the wide-eyed gaze of the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon, its petite figure suddenly expanded, transforming into a massive demon body in the blink of an eye.
Seven fluffy, fiery-red fox tails swayed gently behind it, a majestic pressure sweeping forth, suddenly enveloping the entire desolate marsh before it.
A Tier Seven Ferocious Beast?!
The Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon shivered all over, instinctively turning to flee.
Yet, it was already too late.
Just as it turned its neck, fiery-red mysterious patterns spread from the Seven-tailed Fire Fox’s brow, and scarlet foxfire ignited fiercely on its tails.
It was the hallmark minor divine technique of the Fire Fox clan— "Foxfire."
With a light flick of its tails, a vast sky-covering scarlet foxfire swept over the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon.
With a loud "bang," before the massive Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon could fly far, it was slapped back into the desolate marsh.
The scarlet foxfire was intensely hot, causing the cyan scales of the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon to curl up when roasted.
Too bullied!
The Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon writhed and howled in pain in the desolate marsh, its huge golden eyes teary with grievance and reluctance, hiding a deep-seated vengeful qi.
The Seven-tailed Fire Fox rolled its eyes at it in exasperation.
Serves you right! Don’t you know this is human territory? Trying to break into a human settlent alone as a jiao, you were bound to fail miserably.
It lazily lay down on the embanknt, yawning: "Brother Shouzhe said you can’t be allowed to leave, so you won’t. Behave yourself, and you’ll have a way to survive. Or I’ll roast and eat you."
"Roar~~!"
The Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon roared at the Seven-tailed Fire Fox in rage, its huge tail slapping the water, questioning angrily.
Both are fierce beasts, how can you help humans against another fierce beast?!
The Seven-tailed Fire Fox, too lazy to argue, flicked its tail again, sending another covers-all foxfire sweeping over.
The Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon let out pained cries again, writhing in agony.
The two ancestors from the Waang Family exchanged glances, unable to help shrinking their necks, then sipped tea to calm themselves.
So brutal~
Although they had known before that the little fox in Wang Shouzhe’s arms was actually the Ancestor Fire Fox from the Yuwen Family, they hadn’t expected her to be so fierce when enraged, having seen her act cute and obedient in front of Wang Shouzhe.
But they certainly didn’t sympathize with the Cyan Flood Dragon.
Because of it, the Zhenze Wang Family had already lost two clansn to it, making them resentful. Far from sympathetic, they wished instead to finish it off themselves.
After several beatings by the Ancestor Fox Fire, the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon realized it couldn’t breach its defenses and, resigned, dived to the depths of the water bubble.
Amidst the soft mud at the water bubble’s depths, a place emitted subtle glimrs, exuding rich spiritual rhys.
A group of spirit fish swam around the light, wanting to peck at it. Yet, before they got close, the glimr vanished.
After the fish dispersed a mont later, the glimr reappeared.
The school of fish was instantly attracted once again.
Like this, it repeated endlessly.
The Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon subrged to the source of the glimr, flicking its tail to disperse the surrounding mud, revealing the truth beneath.
Under that mud lay a massive river clam.
No one knew for how many years it had grown; its massive body and its shell covered with pitted scars gave it an ancient appearance.
The subtle glimr escaping from the mud earlier ca through this river clam’s gap.
Staring at the giant clam shell, the Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon’s golden eyes were full of despair.
It had been eyeing this pearl clam for a long ti.
Following this pearl clam’s trail had brought it all the way from the Outer Domain to this desolate marsh.
While this pearl clam itself was only Tier Five, the clam’s shell housed a Pearl Grass nearing the Sixth-grade.
Pearl Grass is an extrely rare parasitic aquatic spiritual dicine. It doesn’t grow on spirit veins but parasitizes inside river clams, growing by stealing Spiritual Qi absorbed by the clam.
Once the clam hosting the Pearl Grass dies or its rank increases, it hides in the water until finding a suitable clam to host again.
Hidden perpetually in the shell, coated with a thick layer of nacre, it looks like an oddly-shaped pearl, hence the na "Pearl Grass."
Pearl Grass can evolve up to the Sixth-grade. It is a favored spiritual dicine among aquatic ferocious beasts and a primary material for the Sixth-grade Spirit Communication Treasure Pill, aiding in breakthroughs to the Purple Mansion Realm.
The Pearl Grass inside this clam was due to evolve into Sixth-grade Pearl Grass in two years.
Just two more years, and when the Pearl Grass broke through its grade, it could consu it, borrowing its dicinal power to complete the final transformation from Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon to Primordial Water True Dragon.
Just two years!
The Primordial Water Cyan Flood Dragon roared defiantly, "Howl howl!"
Why did it have to encounter these human freaks at this ti! Why?!!
How could its luck be this bad?
...
Three days later.
In the back garden of the Qingluo City Guardian’s Mansion.
After several days of settling their feelings, the Prince Anjun couple finally was ready to face the Wang Family.
At the arrangent of Prince Zhenzuo Wu Dianshan acting as a diator.
The Shouzhe couple t with the Prince Anjun couple in an informal setting.
"I am Changning Wang Family’s Shouzhe, greetings to Prince Anjun and the Princess Consort." Wang Shouzhe greeted with a broad smile, cupping his hands respectfully.
"The virtuous na of Patriarch Shouzhe has long resounded like thunder in Mingyuan’s ears," Prince Anjun Wu Mingyuan warmly embraced Wang Shouzhe’s arm. "No need for such courtesy, no need."
Considering himself as leisure Prince, Wu Dianshan narrowed his old fox-like eyes. Although the incident was sowhat theatrical, it seed as if it might inject a significant variable to the future Struggle of the Imperial Sons.
Others might not know Wang Shouzhe, but Wu Dianshan, having dealt extensively with him, understood this man is capable of incredible things. Despite the drama, this might indeed substantially impact the Empire’s future dynamics.
