Chapter 149: To The East Sea (2/2)

”Yan Wang?” Alex was curious.

”Hmm?”

”Is there anything we should keep in mind while visiting Longwang?”

Yan Wang contemplated for exactly a dozen seconds, and replied, ”He has an extremely short temper and is also very stubborn, but his senses of justice and morality are strong, so he is a trustworthy individual.”

'That's useful to know,' Alex thanked him and they all prepared to leave, but...

”However.”

”Be careful not to touch upon his reverse scale, both metaphorically and literally.”

”He will loathe you if you mistreat any animals, as he is the king of beasts.”

”From the lowly piglet to the divine phoenix, and, avoid eating any meat in front of him.”

'Oof, he almost left out the most important piece of information,' Alex listened attentively.

Alex did not think it was a problem, however, as he treated all animals fairly.

When Yan Wang finished his explanation, the screen slowly dissipated into light particles.

”Shall we go?” Alex caressed the dragon.

The divine beast roared and left off for the sky.

Below them, the flooding rivers were receding into their ordinary states, and though it fully exposed the hordes of damaged farmland, there was at the very least, no more danger to the mortals.

Alex felt a finger jabbing at his back.

Turning around, he saw it was Hou Yi.

The archer gave him back Prometheus, and said, ”I apologize that my word wouldn't be enough to get amnesty for you in the imperial court.”

'He's a good man,' Alex smiled and told him not to worry about it.

As he focused back on the ride, he noticed that the dragon had gotten more agitated.

”What's wrong, buddy?” Alex rubbed the dragon's head.

It made an earth-shattering roar and brusquely halted in mid-air.

”Is everything alright?” Hermes asked him.

Alex frowned and immediately established a Link connection with the dragon.

After a short interaction with the creature, Alex understood why it was so nervous.

”The dragon's wife lives nearby, he wishes to go back there.”

Alex telepathically told the dragon, ”Follow the direction back to your home, you've done a great job.”

The dragon flapped its wings and changed the direction of its flight.

It led them to a lush forest, and above a gargantuan ravine, it began roaring.

The roar echoed out throughout the surroundings, and from the ravine, a loud chirping sound emerged.

Fire was spreading out of the ravine, and suddenly, a gigantic bird flew out.

The group was amazed at its appearance.

”So this is a Fenghuang...?”

It had three colorful peacock tails and a blue-feathered torso.

Its wings and head, however, shone with a red-yellow gradient, and searing flames ignited every time it flapped its wings.

”Let's get off!” Alex and the group jumped out of the dragon.

The dragon and the Fenghuang approached each other, and their bodies coiled together.

This was a divine couple of the phoenix and the dragon.

”Amazing,” Hou Yi listlessly stated.

The cacophony of the two fused into an amazing melody, and they soon flew out into the wider world.

”The beauty of our fauna is one thing I miss about the mortal world,” Zhong Kui reminisced.

Alex nodded and took out their much more underwhelming, but solid mode of transportation.

”It's been a while, chariot.”
