Chapter 191: You have to pose in whatever position I ask you to pose in.
"Sir, I have accomplished your mission!"
However, a palm-sized turtle shell was placed in front of Feng Qing'an, and not far away was the Prime Minister Turtle, who was bowing with his hands clasped, as if ready to obey orders again.
"You've caught him now?"
Feng Qing'an looked at the old turtle with some surprise. It had been less than two hours since he went out. His efficiency made it hard for people to associate him with the slow-moving turtle clan.
It can be seen that this old turtle really does not want to take over the position of Water God, as if this position is a hot potato, rather than a local god who can prolong life and control the power of the river.
"The prince you are looking for is right here in there. You only need to lift up the tortoise shell to see him!"
The young man glanced at him, stretched out his hand and lifted up the tortoise shell that looked like just two pieces put together, and even had a hole in it. In an instant, a stream of light rose up, and the moment it landed on the ground, it turned into the dragon girl seen half a day ago.
"We meet again. How are you, Little Dragon Girl?"
Feng Qingan couldn't help laughing when he saw this familiar and pleasing dragon girl. After the dragon girl appeared, the expression on her face changed from panic and helplessness to expressionless. The change in a short moment made him feel very interesting.
"You want me to take over as Haliujiangshui-kun?"
After Jiang Yue escaped, she looked around and confirmed that she was in the Water Palace. She forced herself to calm down. The situation might not be as bad as she thought. The human in front of her might not be what she thought and had no interest in slaying dragons.
Just as the old turtle said, just capture her and take over Suicune's position. Although it sounds a bit strange, it is understandable considering the other party's status and identity. The other party neither wants to do it nor wants to give up easily, so he chose her.
"Who told you that?"
Hearing this, Feng Qing'an immediately looked at the old turtle beside him. At this moment, the old fellow carrying the turtle shell on his back was looking at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, as if he was daydreaming and had nothing to do with it.
"If not, then why do you want to catch me here?"
Jiang Yue took a half step back with a vigilant look on his face, holding the Xunhai Sword in one hand and the other hand on the hilt, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time.
"Hahaha, of course it's because of your appearance..."
Feng Qingan couldn't help laughing. Although he knew that the other party was a dragon demon and should not be underestimated, Feng Qingan didn't feel any threat from her. He just felt that it was interesting. Just when he was about to provoke her, he heard a faint sound of a phoenix. He immediately calmed down, straightened his posture, and put on a serious look.
"Let's get back to the point. The position of Water Lord cannot be given lightly. You are currently just one of the candidates I want to examine. Whether or not I will pass the position to you depends on your subsequent performance!"
"I am just one of the candidates? In that case, please choose another wise man. I will take my leave!"
Jiang Yue was also quick and decisive. After hearing what Feng Qing'an said, she declined without hesitation on the spot, then bowed and prepared to leave.
"Stop, what do you think this place is? You can come as you please, and leave as you please!"
Seeing that Xiao Long Nu was so uncooperative, Feng Qing'an was furious. He slammed the table with his hand. Xiao Long Nu immediately stopped obediently, turned around and faced him again, and said helplessly,
"Sir, you sent people to capture me here by force. I didn't want to come here!"
"If you knew that, why do you think you can leave here without my permission?"
Feng Qingan snorted lightly, and then stopped pretending.
"To tell you the truth, you must go all out and strive for the position of Water Lord. Don't act depressed, or I will make you suffer!"
"But I have no interest in the position of Water Lord. My Lord, you should know my origins. If I were willing, I would have already taken charge of a river!"
"That was a decision you made in the past. What does it have to do with now? I don't care about it!"
Feng Qing'an directly put on an unreasonable and overbearing attitude. It would be best for Xiaolongnu to be the Water God, but she had to be the one who did not want to be the Water God.
This mess must be gotten rid of. Feng Qing'an is not interested in wasting time in this position. In his eyes, the dragon girl in front of him who is close to the human race is the best choice.
"Sir, you don't want to be the Water Lord, do you?"
“…”
Feng Qing'an took another look at the old turtle. It seemed that this old thing had revealed all his background during his trip out. As expected, compared to the human race, this old thing was closer to the dragon race.
"If you don't want to, why do you force me? Don't you understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you?"
There was also a hint of resentment in the dragon girl's red eyes. She also wanted to travel around the world, so she was not interested in guarding a river and spending her long life there. That would be too boring.
"It seems that you know quite a lot, but you are not really a person, only half a person at best, so it is quite appropriate for me to impose on you what I do not want!"
"you……"
When the Dragon Girl heard Feng Qing'an's words, she showed anger for a moment, but quickly returned to her expressionless state.
"Okay, I know you're very angry now and you want to pull out the sword in your hand and chop me a few times, but I hope you can face the facts."
In order to prove the truth of his words, Feng Qing'an stretched out his hand, and a golden light suddenly flew out from the old turtle's body, wrapped around his arm, raised his head, and roared at the dragon girl.
"In this water palace, you have to do whatever posture I want you to do. No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you have to cooperate and please me!"
"Hey! Sir, please be careful about your words and actions!"
Hearing Feng Qingan's outrageous words, the old turtle couldn't help but cough dryly and reminded him.
"Oh, the old Prime Minister still knows how to speak. If you didn't speak, I would have thought you were a statue!"
“…”
The old turtle fell silent immediately. Since he wanted to welcome a qualified Water Lord as soon as possible, he couldn't help but reveal some of his past to the Dragon Girl in advance, which caused dissatisfaction from the young man who was temporarily taking over the position of Water Lord.
"tell me your name!"
Feng Qingan sat on the jade platform, looking down at the expressionless dragon girl.
In this palace built by dragons, the dragon girl, whose body shape and posture are almost the same as those of humans, appears slender and fragile, which makes people feel pity for her.
"Jiang Yue!"
Being in a place she didn't want to be in, and even being forced to do something she was totally unwilling to do, Xiaolongnu's voice seemed very cold, silently reflecting her attitude.
"Jiang Yue? Your last name is Jiang! That's not right, that old dragon's last name is not Jiang!"
"I take my mother's last name!"
"Take the mother's surname? Will the old dragon agree to that?"
The influence of the human race is reflected in all aspects. The dragon race has such a complicated relationship with the human race that they are naturally deeply affected. Most children take their father's surname, and generally only children who marry into the family take their mother's surname. Feng Qing'an doesn't believe that the old dragon doesn't know this rule.
"I changed my name after I left Dragon Palace!"
"So what was your original name?"
"forget!"
Jiang Yue said expressionlessly.
“…”
Feng Qing'an stared at the dragon girl and could even see the fine scales on her cheeks clearly, but what he saw even more clearly was the unyielding spirit reflected in her vertical pupils that were like red fire.
"Is your mother a human?"
"yes!"
"But from what I know, the old dragon in Cangjiang was killed by my brother because it liked to eat people. Is this news false?"
This was what surprised Feng Qingan the most after he found out that this dragon girl was actually a human-dragon hybrid.
"No, it's true. My mother was defiled by the evil dragon by accident, and that's how I was born. Because of me, my mother became the only human who was not eaten by the evil dragon!"
"Where is your mother now?"
"Life is over!"
The dragon girl said softly, with endless sadness in her eyes.
"She grew old in my arms before I even grew up!"
Feng Qing'an was stunned, and then suddenly realized.
Yes, how can a human's life be compared with that of a dragon? Even if one only inherits half of the dragon's bloodline, their life span is much longer than that of humans. As a mother, she can't even see her child grow up.
"So how old are you now?"
But after sighing, Feng Qingan couldn't help asking as he looked at the dragon girl in front of him, who seemed not yet fully adult, but just a young girl in her twenties, in the prime of her life.
“…less than three hundred years old!”
The dragon girl, who originally had sadness in her eyes, suddenly ignited with tangible anger. She glared at Feng Qingan and answered word by word.
"Is this age considered old or young for the dragon race?"
Feng Qing'an originally wanted to sigh that it was so big, but after thinking about it, he felt that using the age of humans to measure a dragon with a very pure bloodline was simply being a hooligan.
"According to your human race's standards, you are not yet old enough!"
"You are so young?"
Feng Qing'an looked at the dragon girl in some surprise. He didn't expect that she looked young and was actually quite young. A dragon girl who was less than three hundred years old?
The innate advantages of the dragon clan are truly enviable!
"You said it all, I'm only half a person!"
"Okay, then tell me again, how long have you lived in the human world!"
"Can not remember!"
“About the time.”
"Two to three decades!"
“That’s quite long.”
Feng Qingan couldn't help but be shocked.
"So, you lived in an underwater dragon palace when you were young. When your mother died, you became independent. After that, you chose to wander around the human world, constantly changing your identities, right?"
“…”
Xiao Longnu nodded silently.
"Okay, go down and rest first!"
Feng Qing'an waved his hand. There was no need to ask any further. Feng Qing'an knew the inclination and choice of this human-dragon hybrid between the two races.
The attitude of the Dragon Girl towards the human race is already very obvious. She calls her biological father the evil dragon, so one can imagine her attitude towards the dragon race. As for the human race, it is also obvious.
"Old Turtle, please make some !"
"Yes, sir!"
Prime Minister Turtle walked up to the Dragon Girl with a respectful attitude, as if he was an old butler who had been serving for a long time. This made Feng Qing'an miss his old butler a little, but he was not his own, after all, he was not his own.
That night, a ray of green divine light swept through the river and rose into the sky. However, the strong winds from all directions had just gathered together when tortoise shell patterns appeared in the sky, turning everything upside down. The orderly strong winds dispersed in an instant.
"Your Highness, you should rest!"
"Let me go, can't you?"
"This river needs a suitable master, and you are the most suitable one."
Next day
Feng Qingan looked at the dragon girl with a cold face happily. He saw everything that happened last night. He had to say that he admired the indomitable spirit of resistance of this little dragon girl. The only thing that made him unhappy was that this dragon girl was rebelling against him.
"Although it's fun to see your face full of reluctance but having to endure it, it's a waste of time. Let me give you a friendly reminder!"
Facing Feng Qingan's playful teasing, Jiang Yue looked over with an expressionless face.
"As long as you carry the Xunhai Sword, you can't escape from my grasp. The magic weapons are all connected. I already control two of them, so no matter where you run to, I know where you are!"
“…”
Hearing Feng Qingan's words, Jiang Yue pursed her lips, her eyes flashing. She finally understood why she was captured so easily twice in a row.
It turns out that what she saw as a means of escape was, in the eyes of others, a weapon to determine her location.
"As long as you carry this sword, you will never be able to escape. But if you discard this sword, you won't even be able to escape from the Water Palace!"
Feng Qing'an looked at this dragon girl with a unique charm, and looked at the subtle changes in the expressions on her face. No matter how forced she was to remain calm, some small expressions and movements were difficult to hide. They were subconscious actions that accumulated slowly over a long period of life.
"How is it? Is it hard to decide? I don't know what to do?"
"What exactly do you want me to do?"
Jiang Yue felt that she could no longer bear it and wanted to get angry, but she had to force herself to calm down because she had no right to vent her anger here, just like when she was in the Cangjiang Dragon Palace. No matter how wronged and dissatisfied she was, she could only swallow it silently.
“Hahaha, this is so funny!”
Feng Qingan couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he hooked his finger at the dragon girl.
"come over!"
Such a light action made the dragon girl's eyebrows raise.
"Are you sure you want to resist me here? Then I won't be the one who gets embarrassed."
Jiang Yue suppressed her anger and walked to the table in front of Feng Qingan. She saw the young man casually pushing the jade plates piled up in front of him.
"From now on, you will be in charge of all this. You are my deputy, and all matters in the river will be in your hands. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Yue was a little surprised. What was a deputy lord? She had been traveling in the human world for so long, but she had never heard of any river with a deputy lord.
"All the orders you give can be handed over to this old turtle. He will help you pass them on. If any aquatic creatures disobey your orders and this old turtle can't solve the problem, you can tell me!"
"You didn't say I was just a Suicune candidate?"
Looking at Yudie in front of her, Jiang Yue found it unbelievable that the power to control Jiang Liu was thrown in front of her like a child's play .
"Of course. So in order to get rid of the candidate status as soon as possible, after you finish these things, you must set aside a certain amount of time every day to refine the water veins!"
As he spoke, Feng Qing'an stood up and walked to the side of the dragon girl. While the dragon girl was in a trance, he pulled out the dragon sword that she had pinned on her waist.
"In exchange, I will keep your sword for the time being!"
