Anger erupted from his chest like a volcano as Yang Kai stepped forward and pointed at Fu Zhun, cursing, “Don’t think that just because you’re the Dragon Race’s Second Elder, you can do whatever you want. Although Qing’er is a member of the Dragon Race, she has her own freedom, so it’s not up to you to interfere. As long as I’m her husband, I’ll be her husband for the rest of my life, and I won’t tolerate an old witch like you denying it. Today, I came to pay my respects to you to give you face, but since you don’t want this face, it’s fine. In any case, the two of us don’t need you to admit anything.”
As soon as these words left his mouth, Zhu Qing knew she was in trouble and couldn’t help sighing in her heart.
Sure enough, Fu Zhun’s aura fluctuated and the already cold world became even colder as she narrowed her eyes and asked, “Boy, what did you call this Queen?”
“Old hag, old hag, old hag, old hag, old hag, old hag, old hag!” Yang Kai opened his mouth and stared at her provocatively, “Are you satisfied yet? If you’re not, I can shout a few more times.”
Fu Zhun slowly stood up and coldly said, “After today, if you still have your life, I’m sure you’ll be able to remember the principle of a loose tongue.”
Yang Kai grinned, “You want to fight? Come, let’s see if you die or I die.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon’s roar rang out, and the phantom of the Golden Holy Dragon behind him flew into Yang Kai’s body, its dragon might instantly spreading out. At the same time, a humming sound rang out from the distant Dragon Palace Temple, causing the world to tremble.
The entire Dragon Island seemed to tremble, and no matter where the giant dragons were, they all turned to look in the direction of the Dragon Palace Temple, their faces filled with surprise.
Yang Kai was also a little surprised. He hadn’t expected that his activation of the Golden Holy Dragon’s Origin Energy here would be able to resonate with the Dragon Temple, so he became even more fearless and laughed, “It seems that the Dragon Race’s ancestors are all on my side.”
Although he said so, he was like a cheetah ready to pounce at any moment. His entire body was tense, and as long as he was slightly drawn in, he would be able to release a thunderous strike. After all, his opponent was the Second Elder of the Dragon Race, an existence who could fight with a Great Emperor. How could he dare be careless?
Contrary to Yang Kai’s expectations, Fu Zhun didn’t immediately take action, instead staring at him coldly, the killing intent in her eyes almost tangible.
Zhu Qing quickly stepped between the two of them and hurriedly said, “Second Elder, please calm down. Husband didn’t do this on purpose, please don’t take offense.”
Turning her head to glare at Yang Kai, her eyes filled with a look of blame, the meaning of which couldn’t be clearer. He had clearly said that he would endure, but now he had completely fallen out with her.
Yang Kai’s face was filled with embarrassment as he noticed Zhu Qing’s dilemma and couldn’t help but sniff, his imposing manner also greatly decreasing.
“If it wasn’t intentional, what could it be?” Fu Zhun looked at Zhu Qing coldly, “If this Queen insists on killing him today, what will you do?”
Zhu Qing was startled and said bitterly, “As a member of the Dragon Race, I naturally have to obey the Dragon Race’s rules, but if my husband is in trouble, I cannot just sit back and watch. If Second Elder insists, then I can only live and die with my husband!”
Yang Kai looked at her and tugged on her sleeve, “Qing’er, move aside. This old witch is probably dreaming if she wants to kill me.”
“Evil creature!” Fu Zhun’s face sank, never having expected Zhu Qing to give her such an answer. Taking a deep breath, she said, “It seems Dragon Island can no longer hold your heart. What kind of Dragon Race are you?”
Zhu Qing said sadly, “Second Elder, please forgive me.”
Yang Kai said, “You also said that Dragon Island can’t keep Qing’er’s heart, so why don’t Second Elder let Qing’er go free and let her leave with me? This can be considered an adult’s blessing. In the future, we will set up a Longevity Plate for you, one incense stick’s worth of time in the morning and three kowtows in the morning to bless Second Elder’s longevity and eternal youth.”
Fu Zhun coldly snorted, “Don’t speak so glibly in front of this Queen. Even if we can’t keep her heart, this Queen will still keep her people. She is a member of the Dragon Race, and if she dies, she is a ghost of the Dragon Race. It’s not your place to take advantage of her.”
Yang Kai frowned, “A forced melon cannot be sweet.”
Fu Zhun sneered, “So what?”
Yang Kai looked at her indifferently, “Is there really no room for negotiation?” Fu Zhun’s decisiveness had caused him to lose his patience to converse with her, and Zhu Qing’s obstruction made it impossible for the two of them to truly fight. Yang Kai’s heart was filled with rage.
“You want to change the situation?” Fu Zhun coldly snorted, “Of course.”
Zhu Qing’s eyes lit up, “Please explain, Second Elder!”
Fu Zhun said, “As long as this person can make up for the losses he has caused to my Dragon Island, this Queen will naturally let bygones be bygones, even allowing you two to be together!”
These last words made Zhu Qing overjoyed. The Second Elder was actually willing to help them, this was simply unimaginable, but the previous conditions had left Zhu Qing somewhat confused, “The loss of Dragon Island? What does Second Elder mean by… exactly?”
Fu Zhun sneered, “Don’t you know what kind of loss he brought to Dragon Island? Why ask me?”
Yang Kai said angrily, “Even if there are any losses, it’s all your own fault. Don’t say that this old master doesn’t have the ability to make up for it, even if I did, I wouldn’t!”
Fu Zhun’s eyes twitched, “Who are you calling yourself, old master?”
Yang Kai shouted, “This old master is talking, what does it matter to you?”
“Little brat, die!” Fu Zhun flew into a rage, the killing intent she had suppressed with great difficulty erupting once more. This time, even if Zhu Qing was here to stop her, she would still attack.
Zhu Qing hurriedly grabbed Yang Kai’s clothes and flew out, turning her head back and saying, “Second Elder, please calm your anger, we’ve disturbed you today.” She ran as fast as she could and naturally knew that if she didn’t leave now, they would really start fighting.
Fu Zhun stood in place, her face filled with anger, obviously quite angry, but she had no intention of chasing after them, only staring hatefully in the direction the two had disappeared.
A moment later, a figure flashed and Great Elder Zhu Yan suddenly appeared beside Fu Zhun, asking, “Have they left?”
Taking a deep breath, Fu Zhun calmed the roiling blood in her heart and closed her eyes, “I really want to kill him!”
Zhu Yan smiled and said, “What can we solve if we kill him? Not to mention, that’s the Ancestral Dragon’s Origin. It’s not like you didn’t sense the abnormality in the Dragon Temple just now. With the protection of so many Dragon Souls, even if we join forces, we may not be able to kill him on Dragon Island. If we want to kill him, we can only do so outside Dragon Island.”
Fu Zhun snorted, “If not for that, how could he have survived?”
Zhu Yan stared at her in shock, “You don’t really want to kill him, do you?”
Fu Zhun grit her teeth and said, “So what?”
Zhu Yan’s forehead dripped with cold sweat, “Just think about it, don’t really act. The future of my Dragon Race depends on him. You have always been responsible for restoring the Dragon Race. Back then, when you reluctantly banished Fu Xuan into the Dragon Tomb, wasn’t it also for this reason? A little impatience will spoil great plans.”
Fu Zhun nodded and said, “I understand your reasoning…” However, facing this little brat, she couldn’t help but become angry. It was difficult for her to not want to kill that brat. Pausing for a moment, she said, “I’ve already told him the conditions, whether he can do it will depend on his own ability.”
Zhu Yan grinned, “As long as he says it, I’m sure he will try his best to accomplish it.”
Fu Zhun suddenly turned her head to look at him, “If he can’t do it, I will strip the Ancestral Dragon Origin from his body. This child’s conduct is not worthy of possessing the Ancestral Dragon Origin!”
Zhu Yan’s face twitched, but he didn’t comment, “We’ll see when the time comes.” Raising his head to look up into the sky, he sighed, “The Ancestral Dragon’s Origin has appeared, so where is the Ancestral Phoenix’s Origin?”
…
In the void, Yang Kai and Zhu Qing flew past.
Along the way, Zhu Qing didn’t say a word, her pretty face so gloomy that it seemed like a layer of frost could be seen on it.
Yang Kai whistled as if nothing had happened, but in reality, he had been carefully observing her expression. Seeing her like this, he knew that things were not looking good. His performance just now must have disappointed her, but now that he thought about it, he was only responsible for half of it, while the other half was entirely because of that slut Fu Zhun.
“Qing’er, how about I elope with you? Why do you care so much about her? Can that old witch really keep an eye on you and me? Once we’re outside, where will she find you?” Yang Kai suggested.
Zhu Qing sighed, “I can leave with you, but if that’s the case, I’m afraid I won’t be able to rest easy for the rest of my life.”
Although eloping was a wonderful thing, without the approval of her elders, it was destined to be a tragedy.
Stopping in her tracks, Zhu Qing stared deeply at Yang Kai and said, “Fortunately, Great Elder and Second Elder didn’t forbid you from coming to Dragon Island again. If you miss me in the future, come to Dragon Island to see me. I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Yang Kai opened his mouth and swallowed the words he was about to say. Zhu Qing was not a child, and since she had such considerations, even if he really brought her out of Dragon Island, she would not be able to eat or sleep in peace in the future, so it was better to let her stay on Dragon Island. At the very least, she would not suffer any hardship.
With a light smile, he said, “Then I’ll spend more time with you on Dragon Island this time.” Reaching out, he grabbed Zhu Qing’s soft hand and flew alongside her towards Cresent Moon Island.
When they returned to Cresent Moon Island, the sky had already turned dark, but Fu Xuan and Mo Xiaoqi had not left. The mother and daughter pair had been sitting together and talking, and it was obvious that they were getting along very well. Fu Xuan’s face was filled with love, while Mo Xiaoqi’s face was filled with happiness.
Seeing Yang Kai and Zhu Qing appear together, Mo Xiaoqi’s expression couldn’t help dim for a moment, but soon she smiled and called out, “Big Brother Yang, Big Sister Qing.”
Fu Xuan smiled from the side, “Xiaoqi insisted on waiting for you to come back and bid you farewell before she was willing to return to the island with me.” Saying so, she gently patted Mo Xiaoqi’s head, “Now should we go back and rest?”
Mo Xiaoqi nodded before turning to Yang Kai and saying, “Then I’ll go with Mother first. Big Brother Yang, when you leave, remember to let me know.”
“Don’t worry,” Yang Kai smiled and nodded, “I’ll inform you when the time comes.”
“Goodbye, Big Brother Yang, Big Sister Qing,” Mo Xiaoqi gently waved her hand and followed Fu Xuan out of Crescent Moon Island.
After the mother and daughter pair left, Yang Kai suddenly flashed to Zhu Qing’s side and grabbed her by the waist.
Zhu Qing let out a startled cry as she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and stared into his eyes. How could she not know what he was trying to do? Her cheeks immediately flushed red as she pouted towards the bedroom.
Yang Kai laughed loudly and strode over to the bedroom, kicked open the door, threw Zhu Qing onto the bed, and pounced on her.
It was a night of spring breeze, a man stirring up trouble, a beautiful woman enjoying herself.
