Chapter 832: Dragon-Tiger Monarch (1/2)

Chapter 832: Dragon-Tiger Monarch

After arriving at the Tie Clan, Long Jingxian continued to stay on the site. The mansion was large so it wasn’t a problem to accommodate her. The issue was that she and Jian Wushuang didn’t get along; they were just like fire and water. They would argue whenever they met, causing the deserted Tie Clan to become much livelier.

Li Qiye didn’t think much of their quarrel. As for the basilisk and the old turtle, they quickly ran away. The two girls weren’t people they could afford to mess with.

It hadn’t been two days since her arrival before a big character came to visit the Tie Clan. The moment he set foot inside the Heavenly Flame County, others could feel the air changing.

“Someone is here.” The basilisk also felt this presence and looked towards the horizon.

Long Jingxian’s expression changed the moment this aura appeared. She tried to flee, but she didn’t even manage to make it out of the door as someone was already standing there, blocking the way.

A middle-aged man blocked her escape. He wore a robe decorated with dragons and tigers. Although his clothing was simple, no one would dare to hold him in disdain. He emitted a grand n.o.ble aura as if he was a tyrant up high above.

Moreover, faint roars of dragons and tigers quietly came from within his body as if there was a true dragon coiling around him as well as an accompanying white tiger. Anyone would become nervous in his presence due to the auras of these beasts.

“Dragon-Tiger Monarch!” The basilisk exclaimed in shock after seeing the middle-aged man by the door.

“Beastmaster Lord!” The old turtle quivered in fear while hiding in his sh.e.l.l after hearing the name “Dragon-Tiger Monarch”.

“Xiany, where are you running off to?” The middle-aged man stopped Long Jingxian and smiled with a doting expression. [1. Couple of options. I’ve been playing around more here. Little Xian/Xiao Xian or Xiany. I like Xiany since it sounds like a loving nickname from a father to his daughter. Little Xian would be the most literal.]

“Father, I was only going for a walk to relax, I’m not escaping or anything.” Long Jingxian immediately smiled.

The man ahead was Long Jingxian’s father and the lord of the Beastmaster Citadel. People referred to him as the Dragon-Tiger Monarch. He was also the most notable talent from the previous generation of the Stone Medicine World.

The monarch smiled: “You’ve had your fun so you should come back with me now. Don’t make it difficult for Elder Sun’s group, you have to be considerate of them. It is already hard for them to follow you around all day on top of worrying about you escaping.”

The monarch was the current ruler of this sect of two emperors. In the last generation, he was a character that reigned over the world as well. However, he could only be described as a loving father in front of his daughter.

“I don’t want to go back.” Long Jingxian quickly shook her head: “If I go back, all of you will make me train and learn those stuff. It’s so boring, I am not a puppet.”

The monarch gently responded: “The elders only want what’s best for you. If you don’t train hard, it will be a waste of your talents. Moreover, the citadel has given up a lot for you, so you need to repay the debt.”

The citadel considered Long Jingxian to be their priceless jewel due to her Immortal Fate. It could be said that since her youth, she practiced the best merit laws and had the best treasures.

Although the citadel maintained a low profile, its elders placed a lot of hope on her. In their eyes, as long as she worked hard, surpa.s.sing Ye Qingcheng wouldn’t be difficult at all.

Alas, she wasn’t a fan of cultivation and often slipped out of the citadel to run wild in the world. This made the elders quite helpless.

This time, she had finally managed to escape only to be stopped by her father. Naturally, she didn’t want to go back. Her pretty eyes suddenly flashed; a new idea sprung up in her mind, prompting her to grin. She put on a virtuous appearance and hugged the arm of Li Qiye who had been watching on the sideline.

“Father, I’m not going back.” Long Jingxian pulled his arm and said: “I want to marry so I won’t be going back to the citadel anymore.”

“Huh…” Tie Lan’s group, who was watching at the side, almost choked with their eyes wide open after hearing this.

Long Jingxian continued to hug Li Qiye’s arm and gently bowed her head to say: “Father, please forgive your daughter’s lack of filial piety. I am madly in love with Young n.o.ble Li. Regardless of whether Father and the citadel agrees or not, I still want to marry him; I plan to elope with him.”

At this moment, she embodied the gentleness of a girl lost in love. Such genuine gentleness could melt anyone’s heart.

“How shameless.” Jian Wushuang, who was standing close by, immediately revealed her scheme and snorted: “He already said that he doesn’t want to marry you but you keep on harping on this point, do you want a husband that badly?”
