Chapter 108: Dragon Palace Banquet (V)
The time goes back to twenty minutes ago, and the location is the Dragon Palace conference room where Lu Ren and Yinglong broke into.
This session of the aquatic products wholesale shareholders meeting has just begun.
The first scene is that the Weishui Dragon King is showing off his new grandson to everyone.
"My grandson is really good and very polite. He is not greedy for money. I told him to inherit my property, but he was unmoved. Hahahahahaha."
The Dragon King of the West Sea who was present objected, saying that their grandson was definitely better: "How could he be as good as my grandson? Last week, he successfully went to the south by himself and made it rain. It rained so hard."
"What's so strange about being able to make rain? Which dragon can't do that?" The Dragon King of the East China Sea was dissatisfied. He said: "My granddaughter captured a Qiongqi alive a while ago! That thing is both ferocious and cunning. If you don't have any real skills, you can only stare at it..."
The Dragon King of the East Sea was still chattering, and the remaining few old dragon kings could not wait any longer and rushed to speak, praising their grandchildren one after another, and no one was willing to give in.
This is the Dragon Clan’s shareholders’ meeting.
It only opens once every ten years, and every time one opens, one has to first listen to the Four Seas Dragon Kings bragging about what outrageous things the younger generation in their families have done.
A competition among juniors has entered a fierce stage.
What is more terrible than hearing elders bragging about other people's children is hearing your own elders bragging about your achievements in front of you. The sons and grandsons of the dragons from all over the world who were attending the meeting were desperately enduring this embarrassing scene.
Public execution.
"Everything will be fine." They could only comfort themselves in their hearts, "Sooner or later, I will usurp the throne."
In previous years, the Weihe River Dragon King would usually take the initiative to stop the topic because he had no grandchildren. But this year, he had just become a grandfather and was more excited than anyone else. He was about to roll up his sleeves and fight with the East China Sea Dragon King. Both dragon kings tried to convince each other with their fists, insisting that their grandchildren were the best.
The situation was chaotic and out of control. Several dragon grandchildren tried to stop the fight while secretly thinking, "Although the Weishui Dragon King talks a lot, we have already sent people to investigate his new grandson. He is a useless human who can't even protect himself."
Thinking of this, the dragon descendants of the four seas looked at each other and smiled - they were afraid that by now, the human would have been killed by the killer they sent, and buried at the bottom of the sea.
However, before their smiles could fade from their faces, they were greeted by Yinglong, who blasted open the gate of the Dragon Palace.
Dear Dragons from all over the world:!!!
Yinglong has not had any contact with the dragon tribes of the four seas since the Battle of Zhuolu, so the aquatic creatures' impression of Yinglong still remains stuck in the past thousands of years.
Thousands of years ago, when the universe was just beginning, Yinglong had killed Chiyou and Kuafu, and was a feared killing god.
He always sits high on the mountain top, lonely and arrogant, like a dying pine or cypress. He does not distinguish between good and evil, black and white, and only represents endless killing. Wherever he is, blood and death will follow him.
No matter who it is, they need to be as careful as possible when replying to Yinglong, because they don't know if they will anger Yinglong by saying the wrong sentence or word.
Yinglong would not yell when he was angry. He would slowly lower his head, give a calm look, and then extend a white finger like a puppet , making the offender's head explode on the spot.
Gradually, even his own people began to stay away from him.
A thousand years passed quickly, and Yinglong gradually lost contact with the dragon clan. Although he had not appeared in the world for a long time, his legend still existed in the world.
The ignorant dragons didn't know that Yinglong had already joined the Immigrant Household Investigation Bureau and became a legitimate public official. He no longer killed monsters casually, because killing monsters required writing a report. And writing reports was Yinglong's Achilles' heel.
In short, due to the information gap, the way the four sea dragons look at Lu Ren now is as shocked as an ordinary citizen who sees someone riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex on his way to work one day.
This person is not a human being that they can kill with one hand; he is clearly the god of death who has come to claim their lives.
At the door, Lu Ren, after giving Ying Long a lesson for breaking into the room without knocking, turned around and looked inside the meeting room.
I saw that the conference room was full of handsome men and beautiful women, but all of them had dragon horns on their foreheads, and it was obvious that they were all from the dragon clan.
Good man, you’ve disturbed the dragon’s nest.
But the Dragon Girl was not among them. It was presumed that the Dragon Girl did not attend because she did not want to get involved in these business matters.
This cannot be entirely blamed on the Weishui Dragon King's eagerness to find a successor. The Dragon Girl has indeed put all her skills into love and has not studied anything else.
The Weishui Dragon King, who was present at the meeting, was more shocked than anyone else when he saw Yinglong and Lu Ren break in.
He didn't expect that Lu Ren could actually bring the giant statue of Yinglong. Although he claimed that he and Yinglong were distant relatives, in fact he had no contact with Yinglong. Instead, he only heard news about Yinglong from his daughter Qi Xin.
That was a few years ago. Qi Xin, who had been away from home for many years, came back to see him with a lot of bags and told him, "I'm in love again."
The Dragon King was about to spit out blood: "What have you set your sights on this time? Don't always think about finding those with reproductive isolation. Isn't it better to just find a dragon? I'm still waiting to hold my grandchildren."
The dragon girl had heard these words so many times that her ears were callused. She said stubbornly, "What's so good about dragons? They are selfish and always go underwater when they have nothing to do. They are so boring."
After that, she looked up at the water surface of the Dragon Palace, her eyes sparkling, as if she was recalling her first encounter with Lu Qingzhou. "Besides, what does love have to do with race? I can like whoever I want, as long as I am happy. It doesn't matter if he is a human or a ghost, a pig or a dog. Even if he doesn't like me, I don't care. I just need to do my best and I will have no regrets."
The Dragon King knew that he could not persuade his daughter, so he could only sigh silently in his heart: "Alas, there is no hope."
There is no point in talking if there is no agreement. The Dragon Girl did not want to say anything more to the Dragon King. They had been arguing for thousands of years, and it was impossible for them to convince each other with just a few words.
So the dragon girl put down the gifts she had brought back and prepared to go back.
Unexpectedly, she had just walked out for a few steps when she seemed to remember something and turned back and said to the Dragon King, "Oh, I met my cousin Yinglong in the city this time."
Ying, Yinglong? Cousin?
The Dragon King was so frightened after hearing this that he broke out in a cold sweat: "You met Lord Yinglong?! You wouldn't call him cousin in front of him, would you?"
The dragon girl didn't understand why her father reacted so strongly to this: "Yes, I did. Didn't you tell me since I was a child that I should call Yinglong my cousin based on seniority?"
But the dragon girl had no idea that what the Weishui Dragon King said about Yinglong being a relative of them was pure hearsay.
He also heard it from the previous Weishui Dragon King when he was drunk. To this day, he is not sure whether it is bragging or not. He only dares to brag about it secretly in his own Dragon Palace. He never thought that his daughter would be so bold as to dance in front of him.
The more the Weishui Dragon King thought about it, the more scared he became. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that if Yinglong got angry, Qi Xin's death would be the least of his worries. He was afraid that Yinglong would overturn the Weishui Dragon Palace in a rage, and none of the 100,000 aquatic creatures would survive.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He had already planned to pack up and move his family. But then he suddenly thought, "My daughter is still standing here in one piece, okay?"
So the Weishui Dragon King asked the Dragon Girl, "How does he react when you call him cousin?"
Qi Xin looked at the Weishui Dragon King strangely, as if he didn't understand why he would ask such a question: "How else can he react? He thought about who I am for a while and then admitted it."
Admit it, admit it?
This answer was something the Weishui Dragon King had never expected. He wondered, "Could it be that the previous Dragon King really didn't lie to me?"
That’s great. Hard work pays off. This good-for-nothing daughter accidentally managed to get close to Yinglong.
We must make good use of it.
Since then, the Weishui Dragon King has been making friends with the four sea dragon kings under the banner of being a distant relative of Yinglong. After so many years, he has successfully transformed into a giant in the aquatic product wholesale industry.
But the Weishui Dragon King and the Dragon Girl had no idea that they were not relatives of Yinglong at all.
The situation of the recognition of relatives was as follows: Yinglong and Lu Qingzhou went on a mission and fought a fierce battle with the evil monster in the street. Longnu had just arrived in the big city and, as an unlucky innocent citizen, was held hostage by the evil monster. Fortunately, she was rescued by Lu Qingzhou.
According to the regulations of the Immigrant Household Investigation Bureau, if ordinary people are affected during a mission, a long report must be written. Yinglong was having a headache at the time, and saw the "affected ordinary people" who were rescued looking at him, and hesitantly shouted: "Is it cousin Yinglong?"
Yinglong thought for 0.01 seconds, then responded, "It's me."
Yinglong, who successfully avoided a report by relying on his family relationship, felt that he was a really smart guy.
Of course, Lu Ren had no idea about the twists and turns in this . His purpose for coming here today was very clear: to refuse to be the grandson of the Weishui Dragon King.
Lu Ren was standing at the door with an embarrassed look on his face. He said respectfully, "I'm sorry to bother you all. I'm here to see the Weishui Dragon King. I have a few words to say and then I'll leave."
After finishing his opening remarks, Lu Ren turned to the Weishui Dragon King and said seriously, "Thank you for your kindness, but as an ordinary human, it is not appropriate for me to be related to the dragon clan, so you should find another grandson to inherit the inheritance. Sorry."
After firmly rejecting the Weishui Dragon King, Lu Ren even bowed politely.
After saying this, without waiting for the Weishui Dragon King to express his opinion, he turned around and said to Yinglong beside him: "I'm done, let's go."
Yinglong nodded, turned around and prepared to follow Lu Ren.
Unexpectedly, before the two of them could take a step, the four dragon kings suddenly rushed over crying and howling.
They came to make friends with their relatives.
The Dragon King of the West Sea said: "If you really don't want to be the grandson of old man Weihe, you can be my grandson! We have countless rare treasures in the West Sea, I'm sure you will like them."
The Dragon King of the South China Sea said, "Don't listen to him. You are my grandson. You will be my biological son from now on. The climate in the South China Sea is pleasant and it is the best place to settle down. You will be the prince of the South China Sea from now on!"
The dragon kings knew it very well: Are you kidding? Is that an ordinary human? That's a human who can drive Yinglong! If they can pull him into their camp, let alone becoming the supreme leader of the water tribe, even ruling the world would be just a matter of thought.
To this end, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas tried their best and offered various conditions to lure Lu Ren.
The Weishui Dragon King on the side had never thought that he would be rejected so directly by humans, so he obviously did not react and was a beat slower than the other Dragon Kings. He could only stare blankly at those old men scrambling to win over Lu Ren.
After several seconds, the Weishui Dragon King finally reacted and joined the army of inducements: "It's okay if you don't want to be my grandson, I can be your grandson!"
