314 Surrounding the Capital (1/2)

”My Lord!”

Li Luan had a pale look. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xu Ting and softly exclaimed.

”Mmm...”

Xu Ting acknowledged, but his mind was complicated.

After all, their feelings for each other were real when they were younger. However, since they were not suited for each other and coupled with the fact that the daoist priests from Xuan Zhen Sect had repeatedly warned him about Li Luan, he had neglected her for the past few years.

However, hope was not lost.

Immediately, he walked towards her and spoke in a soothing voice. ”It has been hard on you for the past few years. I have already written a letter to my father, informing him of my intention to marry you after the war is over...”

”Thank you, my Lord!”

This was a dream come true for her. However, Li Luan was confused as she felt a chill down her spine.

Although the man standing before her was the same man whom she had given the dragon pearl to, it felt as though he was worn out.

Of course, on the surface, she did not display her thoughts on her face. Even Xu Ting could not know what she was thinking and therefore did not suspect anything.

”Very well, you have an old friend that wants to see you. I shall not hold you further!”

Xu Ting waved his hands.

Confused, Li Luan walked out. Following the servants, she arrived at a backyard.

At the pond, there was a small pavilion. In the pavilion, there was a huge green fish jumping about, and it seems as though the fish had a demonic trait.

Of course, what had surprised her was not the green fish, but the person playing with the fish.

”You're here?”

Fang Yuan turned around and smiled.

”You...”

Of course, Li Luan could recognise Fang Yuan. However, the young man gave off a very different vibe compared to last time.

He not only had the vibes of a majestic dragon, he had a powerful spiritual aura. Uncontrollably, tears welled up in Li Luan's eyes. ”Is this... the Qi Lake Water God?”

”That's right! I have killed the 3 demons in the Qi Lake and inherited the appointment as Water God!”

Fang Yuan admitted to his doings without hiding anything. With the wave of his hands, the green fish rolled onto the floor and transformed into a well-built man in green robes.

”Come to think of it, the 3 of us had gathered on Xu Ren's ship in the middle of An River. Everything is still the same, but we have all changed. Interesting...”

As he calmly spoke, mysterious dragon vibes were felt from his body. Li Luan could detect that Fang Yuan was now more powerful than her own father was when he was alive as the Qi Lake Water God.

”Also... The An River Dragon God had obstructed the navy and was therefore killed by the Golden Court Dragon God and I. Therefore, the tribulation on you has been reduced!”

Fang Yuan revealed some news.

Li Luan was originally the daughter of the Qi Lake Water God and had bad blood with Bai Guan. In order to take her revenge, she had willingly served under the An River Dragon God and had endured humiliation in order to steal a pearl from the water dragon.

However, she was blinded by fate energy and made a rash decision to gift the pearl to Xu Ting.

Therefore, it was not inexplicable that the An River Dragon God had attacked Xu Ting; both parties were unaware that they were already linked by the pearl.

”Thank you, Dragon God!”

Li Luan could not hold her tears back as she paid her respects to Fang Yuan. ”Thank you Dragon God for avenging my father on my behalf and severing my ties with the dragon pearl. I shall swear from today onwards to cut off all ties with Qi Lake, and that shall apply to my family for generations to come!”

”Very good! I like smart people! Alright, that's all!”

Fang Yuan smiled and nodded his head.

The previous Qi Lake Water God was that big green snake with little karma. Therefore, the chances that his future generations could rise up to power once more was slim.

Therefore, Fang Yuan took precautions to ensure that he would not use up his fate energy in all that had happened.

Of course, Li Luan was only a small part of his plan. The crux had yet to unfold.

After dismissing Li Luan, he looked at the huge green fish. ”Hey... Little Green, do you remember me?”

”That year... on that ship... black snake... d*mn it!”

Although the huge green fish was dense, it had a good memory and could recall what had happened many years ago.

”Mmm... The 3 of us are fated, but not just by how we met before!”

Fang Yuan continued after heaving a sigh. ”The previous Qi Lake Water God had little karma. Although he died in the tribulation, he had a chance of revival. Unknowingly, even after meeting each other face to face, the father and his daughter no longer recognise each other. What a pity.”

After absorbing an entire imperial order, Fang Yuan's body was extremely sensitive. Together with his spiritual sense as a dream master, there was no way he could guess wrong.

This green fish was the reincarnation of the previous Qi Lake Water God! In other words, his soul was now possessing this green fish's body!

Of course, the power of being a god was already transferred to Fang Yuan. Even if he were to regain all his memories of his past life or even restore his cultivation, there was nothing he could do. Regardless, he would still be trouble.

Also, Fang Yuan had taken the dragon pearl which he had prepared as a backup as well. This was how the both of them were related.

”You, get over here!”

Thinking about this, he hesitated no more and called for the fish.

”You're... calling for me?”

The well-built man in green robes hesitated before walking towards Fang Yuan.

”Very good!”

Fang Yuan flipped his palm, revealing 9 drops of dark-red blood. In the blood, there was a hint of gold with a dragon's might.

After disintegrating the water dragon's corpse, all that was left was this dragon's property and the blood of a water dragon.

”Take it!”

He smiled and executed a technique as he pressed the dragon's blood on the forehead of the well-built man.
