Chapter 107: Dragon Palace Banquet (Part 4)
Yinglong didn't kill the waiter in the end because he needed the waiter to deliver a letter for him.
As for who wants to kill Lu Ren, it is actually not difficult to guess.
As a human, Lu Ren could not have any conflicts of interest with any forces in the world of monsters. The only thing that was worth coveting was his recently acquired title of grandson of the Weishui Dragon King.
When talking about the special aspect of this title, we have to mention the way the position of Dragon King is inherited - among the aquatic people, the most primitive hereditary system is still maintained.
That is to say, both the Weishui Dragon King and the Four Seas Dragon King followed this tradition, and their positions would undoubtedly be passed on to their descendants in the end. Once Lu Ren's grandson's identity was officially recognized, he would be eligible to become the next Weishui Dragon King.
The title of Weishui Dragon King is not an attractive one, it is just a local emperor in a small river.
What is really tempting is the painstaking efforts of the Weishui Dragon King in the human world over the years: he and the four sea dragon kings jointly dominated the national aquatic product market, became bigger and stronger, and successfully led countless aquatic brothers to become rich. It may have something to do with the prototype. Aquatic creatures are very stubborn. Whoever leads me to wealth, I will follow his lead. And the Weishui Dragon King successfully became the chairman and CEO of this group with his strong business acumen.
The interests of all aquatic creatures are intertwined, regardless of birth or species. Whether they come from rivers, lakes or seas, as long as they want to make a living in the human world, they will habitually obey the decisions of the Weishui Dragon King.
In other words, the Weishui Dragon King has already stood at the pinnacle of the aquatic race.
Because of this, although the position of the Weishui Dragon King seems to be just a small one, it actually represents the position of the leader of the entire water tribe.
But this position is not like a bottle of mineral water thrown aside on the street , and no one cares who will get it. Someone has been eyeing this position for a long time.
Especially the dragon sons and grandsons of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, they were all staring at him with their eyes red as if they were about to bleed.
What's more, what is the Weishui Dragon King? He is a dragon in the river. If he didn't have Yinglong as a distant relative, how could he be compared with the sea dragons? The dragon kings wanted to get closer to Yinglong and agreed to take the Weishui Dragon King with them.
Unexpectedly, Yinglong has never shown up in all these years. Instead of achieving his goal, he let a river dragon stand on his head and give orders for so many years. This is the real loss of the rice while the gain is lost. The princes of the four seas have long been dissatisfied in their hearts. However, due to the unity of the old dragon kings and the majesty of the older generation, they dare not do anything beyond the rules.
They originally planned to be patient, thinking that the Weishui Dragon Girl was a love-brained person and not to be feared. After they had killed the old Dragon King, they would slowly continue the internal struggle. By then, everyone would have the same starting point, all of them were not legitimate, so there would always be a chance to snatch it.
Even if you don't get it, at least there is a sea dragon as the leader.
Who knew that these few days, the princes suddenly learned that the old Dragon King of Weishui had a grandson, and wanted to bring the grandson to attend the shareholders' meeting held every ten years.
What does this mean? This means paving the way for his grandson to smoothly inherit the throne of Dragon King.
Is it possible to give away something you have worked so hard to plan for so many years to a bastard who emerged from some unknown corner?
Therefore, the Dragon Princes of the four seas made a plan and decided to go all out and eradicate the evil completely.
Unexpectedly, Yinglong ruined their good fortune.
But they didn't know that their good deeds had been ruined.
The waiter who was sent to deliver the message didn't even dare to go back and deliver the message and ran away: "That's the angry Yinglong. If we don't run, will we wait for him to kill all the sea creatures in the world and get our faces splattered with blood?"
The waiter dived into the water like a torpedo and disappeared.
Therefore, the dragon princes who had not been notified in time were still sitting in the Dragon Palace openly, waiting to hear the news of the triumph of the assassins they had sent out.
But they were destined to hear nothing.
On the other hand, the unaware Lu Ren is taking his first underwater tour in his life.
This year's aquatic products wholesale shareholders' meeting will be held in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, which is the building where Lu Ren is currently.
He was surprised to find that this magnificent underwater palace was not illuminated by candles or electric lights, but by night-shining pearls.
Each night pearl is the size of a ping-pong ball and emits a soft white light, illuminating the entire palace as bright as day.
All the furniture was made of colorful corals, which looked precious and gorgeous, but given the tiny protrusions on the corals, Lu Ren thought that the furniture would not be very practical.
The ladies -in-waiting who were busy in the palace all had fish-like ears and their faces were dotted with a few colorful scales, but these inhuman features did not hinder the beauty of the ladies-in-waiting. Instead, they made them look more lively and attractive.
These female officials were busy shuttling back and forth in the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace is a huge palace, and each room is separated by an extremely huge white jade door. The white jade door is very heavy, and each time it can only be opened a little, allowing people or fish to get in. If you want to open it completely, you need to find a deep-sea race - the Helix.
The Hylis are giants living on the seafloor. They live near volcanoes and usually feed on giant sea monsters. Sometimes when they are bored, they try to pile stones on the seafloor for fun. Over time, they slowly pile up to the surface of the sea, which leads to the formation of islands.
On the other hand, although everything in Dragon Palace looked very novel, Lu Ren did not stop because of the overwhelming new things.
This is thanks to Yinglong's guidance.
Yinglong seemed to be very familiar with this palace. He walked forward without looking around, and with every step he took, the white jade gate in front of him seemed to automatically sense it and instantly opened completely in front of Yinglong.
The opened door slammed heavily against the wall behind it, making a loud "bang" sound.
Loud noises rang out regularly in the palace, alerting the participants of the shareholders' meeting.
The Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, who was originally sitting with his arms and legs spread out, stood up with a frown after hearing the voice and looked towards the door of the conference hall.
The "dong" sounds seemed to be getting closer and closer to the room, making people feel worried.
"Could it be Helix who accidentally broke into the Dragon Palace?" The Dragon Prince of the East China Sea thought so and felt a headache.
You know, Hylis are a species with low IQ but great strength, and once they get lost somewhere, they will try to wreak havoc to find a way out.
One hundred years ago, there was a Helix who got lost and came to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. It took all the aquatic creatures in the Dragon Palace a full hundred years to finally trick him out of the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Prince of the East China Sea held his forehead in a troubled manner, thinking about the budget needed to deal with the Hynix disaster. However, the next second, the door of the conference room opened, and when he saw the figure behind the door, the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea instantly felt that it would be better to encounter the Hynix disaster.
That’s right, the person who appeared behind the door was Yinglong.
Although Yinglong opened the door without knocking and interrupted the meeting, no one could see the slightest guilt in his eyes. He only glanced around the room and whispered to himself , "Everyone is quite present."
If the sound of the door opening and closing only made a few juniors stand up and look at the door, then when Yinglong appeared, several dragon kings could no longer sit still. They all stood up and looked at Yinglong.
You know, although Yinglong is the most respected dragon, he has stopped interacting with ordinary dragons since the Battle of Zhuolu. In recent years, the dragons have paid tribute every year and have gone to Yinglong's cave to speak well of him every year, without fail for thousands of years. But Yinglong never responded.
Why...are you showing up here today?
Just as everyone was confused, a voice came from behind Yinglong: "Wait, wait for me... It's not polite to go in without knocking."
Who on earth dares to pick a fight with Ying Long?
Everyone held their breath and waited for Yinglong's wrath to come.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Yinglong actually reached out his hand and knocked twice on the already opened white jade door symbolically. Then he looked behind him with a weary face and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
The owner of the voice now appeared in front of everyone - a pair of ugly old brown cotton shoes, a pair of gray sweatpants that were pilling from washing, and an old sweatshirt with the pattern beginning to fade.
It looks like someone is out shopping at the vegetable market.
But after everyone compared the visitor's face with the information they had obtained from their investigation, they came to a shocking conclusion:
This person who can drive Yinglong at will seems to be the newly appeared adopted grandson of the Weishui Dragon King!
