The East River Dragon King, appearing as an old man with white hair and beard, immediately shook his head and rejected his daughter's proposal.
He was now a thousand years old; in his earlier years, he had spent most of his time cultivating and had not left behind any Offspring.
Later, when his Cultivation Level became profound, wanting an Offspring became difficult.
After much effort, he finally had a daughter in his old age, a precious daughter.
From the day his daughter was born, he had treated her like a precious gem, spoiling her in every way and satisfying every request he could.
How could he possibly let her follow him into danger now?
The East River Dragon King shook his head repeatedly and said, "This is absolutely impossible. Do not speak of it again. Besides, your father is not afraid of that Snake Demon; it is just that Yunzhou is in turmoil, the Northern Barbarians are restless, and a national war is about to erupt. I, an old man, simply do not want to get mixed up in these muddy waters."
Dragon Girl Xue'er's delicate brows furrowed with worry as she said softly, "But Father, you receive offerings from the Great Gan, so I fear you cannot refuse the summons from the Fengxian Division, right?"
"It is precisely because of this that your father is worried."
The East River Dragon King sighed; he was past the age of being warlike.
Now his only hobbies were watching dances and listening to little tunes, living a life that was quite enjoyable.
Having fought and killed for half a lifetime, having finally managed to snag the title of Dragon King, shouldn't he enjoy himself a bit?
The East River Dragon King stuffed a piece of preserved fruit into his mouth and said, "Xue'er, do you remember the method your father taught you for dealing with the Great Gan's Fengxian Division?"
As he spoke, he continued, "Delay if you can; if you can't delay, delay by force. Try to take as many benefits as possible while doing as little work as possible. This is the best way for us of the Yao Race to survive!"
"Father, even if you are the Water Vein Dragon King of Yunzhou, if things continue like this, I fear even the Fengxian Division in the capital will hold you accountable, right?" Dragon Girl Xue'er said helplessly.
"Not so." The East River Dragon King shook his head and bowed towards the direction of the capital, "Your father is biding his time and accumulating strength. How could I fail the divine position bestowed upon me by the Great Gan Ancestor back then?"
Dragon Girl Xue'er glanced at the Water Demons who had retreated to the side hall and said nothing more.
The father and daughter chatted for a while longer, then Dragon Girl Xue'er took her leave.
After his daughter left, the East River Dragon King's expression gradually became solemn. After a moment of contemplation, he called over two Great Demons and whispered some instructions.
A while later.
The two Great Demons quietly left the underwater Dragon Palace and headed towards the direction of the Jingyue River.
Having received the East River Dragon King's orders, they were going to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to scout the situation.
...
Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
Taihang Mountains.
Xu Qing brought the Jingyue River God all the way to the edge of the mountains.
Looking at the familiar yet strange mountains before her, the Jingyue River God was full of excitement.
"I heard there are many new spirit fruit in the newly conquered territory?" the Jingyue River God asked expectantly.
Xu Qing nodded and smiled, "There are indeed many good things. I will take you to see them when the time comes; you can eat whatever you want."
"Really!?" The Jingyue River God excitedly rubbed her hands together and nodded quickly. "Then I must taste them one by one properly. If they aren't delicious, I won't be happy!"
Seeing her posture, Xu Qing felt he had spoken too soon.
Given the River God's current appetite, a few dozen spirit fruit in one meal would be considered a poor appetite.
If he really let her eat freely in the Three Spirits Valley for a few days, Six Liang's Spirit Medicine garden would probably be destroyed.
But since he had already promised, Xu Qing would not take it back.
Moreover, the Jingyue River God had just been bullied, so it was time to compensate her properly.
Paying a little price was fine.
Later, he would have Fat Ball and the other one keep an eye on Six Liang, so that the honest Hedgehog Spirit wouldn't hang himself in grief and indignation.
Xu Qing and the Jingyue River God walked into the forest. Small demons guarding the vicinity appeared and hurriedly bowed and knelt.
"Greetings, Great King! Greetings, River God Mistress!"
Along the way, the shouts were endless; one small demon after another appeared, bowing respectfully.
Not long after.
They arrived at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, where Bai Ling and Liu Mei, having already received the news, were waiting.
They spotted the petite Jingyue River God beside Xu Qing at a glance and rushed forward, excitedly pulling the Jingyue River God and talking non-stop.
Seeing her two sisters, the Jingyue River God felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
The three of them seemed to have forgotten about Xu Qing, holding hands as they walked towards the mountain peak.
As she walked, the River God recounted what had just happened in the Jingyue River with a grievance, making Bai Ling and Liu Mei gasp from time to time.
When they heard that Xu Qing had arrived in time and killed the Underworld Official who bullied the River God, they both breathed a sigh of relief, looked back, and said with a smile, "Husband is still the best."
The delicate voices reached his ears, sounding exceptionally pleasant.
Xu Qing smiled, watching the three sisters laughing before him, then turned his head to look back in the direction outside the Taihang Mountains, a gleam flickering in his eyes.
This time, killing the Fengyang City God and that white-robed Underworld Official would inevitably alarm the Fengxian Division of Yunzhou.
What actions would they take?
Send people to the mountains to take revenge?
Xu Qing thought secretly in his heart that this time, he had completely offended the Fengxian Division to death.
However, he had no regrets.
They wanted to kill the Jingyue River God, his wife, which was equivalent to trying to kill him!
Facing such an enemy, it was impossible for him to hold back.
If someone bullied his wife and he still had to swallow his anger, what kind of husband would he be?
Xu Qing suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and forced himself to calm down.
Since the deed was done, he had to consider the possible consequences that might follow.
After a moment of contemplation, he called over a small demon waiting at the foot of the mountain and passed down his order to summon the Great Demons from various places to come to the Taihang Mountains and await deployment.
A while later.
The Great Demons from Fierce Tooth Mountain and other places all arrived at the foot of the Taihang Mountains.
Fat Ball and Skinny Egg were also among them, and behind them, a sharp gaze was staring fixedly at the two of them.
Six Liang carried a small notebook in his arms, eavesdropping on the conversation of the two Monkey Demons.
Then, he quietly recorded another entry in the notebook.
"Entry 620: Fat Ball and Skinny Egg are conspiring to go to the Crimson Blood Cave's Blood Pool to take a bath. Their hearts are punishable!"
After recording it, Six Liang carefully put the notebook away and sneered at the two Monkey Demons.
"Just wait. In a mere half month, I have recorded over six hundred major crimes. When it reaches one thousand, I'll see how you can quibble in front of the Great King!"
The Hedgehog Spirit shouted loudly in his heart.
...
While the Great Demons were assembling at the foot of the Taihang Mountains.
At the bottom of a small river on the edge of the Taihang Mountains, two figures that were almost integrated with the water quietly appeared.
"This is the place; let's be careful."
"We'll leave after scouting the information; don't let the Great King wait too anxiously."
The two Water Demons exchanged a few simple words, then quietly walked onto the shore. Their magic power surged, and a thin layer of mist immediately spread through the forest.
