Chapter 32: The Deaf Dragon's Palace is Refused, Disaster Arises in the Water Ape's Mansion

  Recalling the demeanor of the ancient dragon tribe as described by his father, the old dragon king's heart was filled with a surge of emotions. He thought about how in its heyday, the ancient dragon tribe had been one of the most powerful forces among the demon tribes, and one of the few major powers under the Demon Emperor. However, following the Great War between the witches and demons, the ancient dragon tribe had been decimated - some were killed, others fled, some were suppressed, and some were subjugated. Now, only a few small fish remained, and thinking about it was truly desolate.

  But thinking about the dragon clan's cultivation, the Dragon King couldn't help but shake his head. To say that the dragon clan has reached this miserable state is also related to the fact that their cultivation places extremely high demands on bloodline. This bloodline is thinner with each generation, and countless generations have passed it down. Looking at the current state of dragons, they've become what they are today. To say that the current dragons are simply an insult to the word "dragon"!

  "If the Ancestral Dragon were alive today, if it saw this phenomenon, I reckon it would be so furious that it would go crazy!" The Old Dragon King thought with boredom. He recalled that in the past, when the dragon tribe roamed the world of Honghuang, the standard for a mature dragon was to have nine claws. As the saying goes, "Nine-clawed Golden Dragons roam the world, assisting the Demon Emperor and ruling over the multitude of gods." But now, if a dragon has four claws, it's already something to be celebrated with incense offerings. As for Golden Dragons? Forget about it!

  At this point, the old dragon king thought of his own half-brother, who was actually more talented than him, but unfortunately had poor bloodlines. His mother was a mud eel spirit, and naturally her son wouldn't be anything special, more like a mud eel than a dragon.

  Thinking that the opportunity for a 50-year dragon pool bath has arrived again, the old Dragon King estimates that his stubborn brother will come again. However, the old Dragon King, who originally wanted to give his brother an opportunity, hesitated at this time. Seeing that the dragon clan is now in a crisis, letting this brother take another step closer to becoming a dragon, is it really good? At this moment, the old Dragon King fell into deep thought.

  Soon, a footstep sound woke up the old dragon king. He turned his head and saw that it was his eldest son. Ao Shui walked in with big strides, frowning tightly, seemingly worried about something!

  "That old turtle is now so efficient!" The old dragon king looked at his dusty son and said with some surprise.

  "Hehe, I met the turtle prime minister outside my father's room, so his efficiency is naturally higher!" Ao Shui was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and smiled.

  "Well, this time I came to you, it's about this and that..." The old dragon king roughly explained the situation, during which Ao Shui brought up the old dragon king's mud eel younger brother wanting to enter the Dragon Pool, but was decisively refused by the old dragon king without hesitation.

  With a heart full of hope, the foolish dragon waited for Ao Shui to arrive with a serious expression. At this time, Ao Shui didn't have any thoughts to comfort his uncle, his mind was only filled with the image of the old Dragon King advising him to hide in the Western Sea! Although the old Dragon King did not tell him what happened, Ao Shui saw a sense of crisis from his expression.

  "Brother, how did it go? Did my brother agree?" Although the prince's expression didn't seem to indicate agreement, Lai Long had no choice but to put on a brave face and ask. The result was predictable: Ao Shui, who was already anxious, briefly relayed the Dragon King's orders and turned to leave, leaving Lai Long standing alone outside the Crystal Palace.

  After a long time, the lazy dragon let out a long sigh, his face showing anger and hatred, but he still shook his head and left the Crystal Palace. The lazy dragon had come with high spirits, but now he returned with his head hung low in defeat. Facing the powerful old Dragon King, he could only curse him in his heart, for there was nothing else he could do.

  At this moment, in the mansion of Lai Long, another thing happened. Because Lai Long was not at home, an uninvited guest came to the corner of the sea, where a mischievous monkey poked his head in and found that Lai Long was not at home. The monkey suddenly became arrogant and openly pushed open the tightly closed cave door, swaggering inside.

  Originally a peaceful and serene Water Palace, the moment the Water Monkey appeared, it suddenly fell into chaos. The dragon girls were frightened and ran around in all directions, while the little monsters hurriedly hid their precious things in their bosoms.

  At this scene, the water ape burst in and laughed loudly, shouting "The crippled dragon is not at home, now you're all lucky for me, Water Ape! None of you think about leaving, heh heh, I was worried that the Dragon Girl in my Water Ape Mansion would be used up soon, but today is a great opportunity."

  The otter took a sip, and the scene became even more chaotic. Facing this chaotic scene, the otter furrowed its brow and said, "Everyone be quiet." After saying that, it pinched its fingers together, and from the water, whirlpools suddenly appeared, swirling around its body.

  "Without the lazy dragon, I'll see where you little guys escape to! Look at my whirlpool!" The otter let out a soft laugh, and the whirlpool beside him was released. After the huge whirlpool was stirred up, it split into countless small whirlpools that flew off in different directions, which happened to be the direction the water tribe was escaping in.

  The otter adjusted his sleeves and sat down on the golden chair in the great hall, seemingly confident in his own magic. He didn't think those little monsters could escape his grasp, so his remaining task was to leisurely enjoy the fruits and vegetables arranged on the table in front of him, feeling extremely comfortable for a while.

  Not long after, a group of big and small aquatic tribes were indeed brought over by the whirlpool. The water ape stood up from its seat and began to pick and choose among the crowd. Some aquatic tribes that were obviously male were kicked out first. After being kicked out, these aquatic tribes had a look of joy on their faces as if they had been reborn after a disaster, and they ran away quickly. The water ape did not stop them but let them go.

  Soon, under the panicked gaze of many female water tribes in the field, the Water Monkey directly threw out some long and crooked gourds, picked and chose, and finally selected ten female water tribes, including two dragon girls with quite good looks, who were direct relatives of the Lame Dragon.

  "Haha, this is great! If I can find another demon who has refined the Youyao Dan, I'm sure that achieving the Great Completion of the True Water won't be far off. At that time, if I ingest this water ape's family heirloom, the source of water, I should be able to reach the level of Taiyi Xianren. When that happens, where in the world can I not go?" Thinking about this delightful prospect, the water ape couldn't help but laugh loudly, and with a wave of his sleeve, he stirred up a flow of water, sweeping away the ten female demons who were about to leave.

  "Damn you, Water Monkey! You've kidnapped the people of my cave and humiliated the dignity of my dragon clan. How can I tolerate you!" A loud roar came, and it was Lai Long who had returned. It turned out that after being rejected by the Dragon Palace, he was depressed and didn't have the mood to continue on his way, so he directly returned to the cave. Coincidentally, outside the cave, dozens of male demons were fleeing in a panic, and they happened to run into Lai Long who had just returned.

  Under the questioning of the lazy dragon, the terrified little monsters briefly described the situation in the cave with a few words. The lazy dragon was furious after hearing it, and the anger he had been suppressing in the Dragon Palace suddenly burst out from his head.

  The strength of this otter is not much inferior to his, and every half a year or so, the otter has been sneaking into his cave to steal a few maidservants. The toad dragon, who didn't want to fight hard with the otter, chose to tolerate it, and the otter also knew the rules, never laying hands on the dragon girl.

  It seemed that both sides had reached a tacit understanding, but several months ago, the Water Monkey broke the rules and attacked a Dragon Girl. At that time, Lai Long was busy with the matter of the Dragon Pool and didn't have the energy to deal with him. As a result, the Water Monkey became even more arrogant, but he had some fear of Lai Long, so he hadn't dared to openly bully him until now.

  At this time, Lai Long, who had been holding back his anger, returned to find that the Water Palace had been openly invaded by Shui Yuan. Instantly, his three corpses stirred, and a fierce flame of ignorance rose from his heart.
