Chapter 53: Stopping Water and Traveling Together (Part 2)

  Hailong rubbed the spot where he was hit, his anger suddenly rising. A cold voice seeped out from between his teeth, "You dare to hit me." The small iron rod flew out and fell into his hand. In the tense standoff, a fierce battle seemed imminent. Hongzhi saw that things were not going well and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Hailong back, saying: "Big brother, calm down, this is not a place for fighting. Zhitishui, you're also being too excessive! Although big brother's joke was a bit over the top, you shouldn't have hit him either! As they say, 'don't hit someone in the face'." Zhitishui gave him a cold look and said: "If you don't accept this, then let's settle it together. Let's go out of the city now."

  She glanced at Hailong with a mixture of sadness and heartache, saying: "Sister, that's enough. You've vented your anger and frustration. Let it go." Zhi Shui snorted, saying: "You always side with your own husband."

  Suddenly, the sound of dense footsteps rose, and a team of about 100 soldiers quickly surrounded them. The leader wore silver armor and rode a tall, crimson horse, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth, holding a silver spear, looking very majestic. Beside him walked the captain who had been blocked by the mysterious seal at the gate earlier, pointing at the five people of the Sea Dragon: "General, it's them." The general immediately held his spear horizontally, with the tip pointing forward, and said in a deep voice: "First, surround them, don't let any of them escape."

  Hailong's five people naturally wouldn't take these people seriously, and drifted over to Hailong's side. With a gentle force in his palm, he helped him wipe away the palm print on his face and whispered: "Dragon, don't be too hard on your sister. She's actually a good person, just a bit temperamental. For my sake, just give in to her a bit."

  "Hai Long said discontentedly, 'She's always with you, reducing the time we spend together. This will affect our relationship. As long as she doesn't provoke me, I won't bother with her.'"

  That general saw a few people in front of him who didn't take them seriously at all, suddenly furious, urging his horse to move forward, pointing his long spear at Hailong and saying: "Say, what kind of people are you? What sinister plot do you have in my Tianbo City, why did you beat up the city guards?" Hailong glanced at that general and said: "You're not even qualified to ask me these questions. First take care of your own subordinates, how could such a loser come out of Zhao Song country."

  "This commander is not a reckless person, after listening to Hailong's words, he said in a deep voice: 'I will investigate the matter myself, but you also look down on me, and should be punished. Come, take them away first, and wait until I have investigated this matter clearly before speaking.' The soldiers responded with a loud noise, and immediately pointed their long guns at Hailong and his five companions. Hailong snorted coldly and said: 'You are also worthy of capturing me? Even if Zhao Ji was here, he would still have to show respect to me. Get out of the way, I'm in a bad mood today, and provoking me will make you all lie down here.'"

  The general's eyebrows furrowed, and the dragon's tone was intimidating. He couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, but in front of so many subordinates and onlookers, he naturally couldn't retreat like this. In a cold voice, he said: "No matter who you are or what your identity is, if you violate the laws of the Zhao Song Kingdom, you will be punished." The dragon's eyes flashed with cold light, and he had been holding back his anger for a long time. His body suddenly floated forward at an incredible speed, and with one swift motion, he pulled the general off his horse. With a hateful tone, he said: "I am the law in the Zhao Song Kingdom. If you don't want to die, then quickly get out of here." With a strong push, the general's body flew out, knocking over a group of his subordinates. The general was furious and shouted as he got up from the ground: "Get them! Capture these madmen!" Just at this moment, a deep voice rang out, "Halt!" Two figures quickly moved towards them, and with a glance, it could be seen that they were two cultivators with very low cultivation levels.

  Two yellow-clad figures appeared beside the General, and as soon as he saw them, he became extremely respectful, hastily kneeling down on the ground and saying: "Greetings to the two Honored Ones."

  The two didn't even glance at him, and knelt down to the ground with respect, saluting Hai Long: "Greetings, Master." It turned out that these two people who suddenly appeared were actually Huang Han's siblings.

  "Hai Long had already recognized them and said calmly, 'Get up, what are you doing here? The soldiers of the Zhao Song country are really getting more and more capable, not only do they harass women, but also want to catch me.'"

  Huang Han was shocked, turned his head and stared at the general, saying: "General Li, what's going on? Do you know who this is? He is the great benefactor of my Zhao Song country, the legendary one-shoulder king, even the emperor has to respect him as a teacher. Are you looking for death?" General Li was shocked, he never thought that the ordinary young man in front of him would be the legendary figure known throughout Zhao Song and Li Tang - the one-shoulder king. His voice trembled uncontrollably: "Subordinate, subordinate really didn't know it was the one-shoulder king! I...I..."

  "Never mind, I'm too lazy to bother with you people. Take your men and get out of here immediately. By the way, go back and ask those guards of yours how they handled that one-armed man who molested my sister-in-law. You deal with it yourself." General Li was overjoyed to see that Hai Long didn't blame him, and he hastily kowtowed twice before leading his men away in a dejected manner.

  Huang Han and Huang Ou finally stood up, walked to Hai Long's side, and respectfully called out "Master" again. Hong Zhi smiled and said: "Big Brother, when did you take on an apprentice? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"

  Hailong glared at him and said, "You don't know many things. Alright, Huang Han, first arrange a place for us to stay. Oh, right, I don't have any money on me, get me some to spend."

  Huang Han and his sister were overjoyed when they saw the dragon, and after witnessing its abilities, how could they give up this opportunity to learn from it? Huang Han hastily said: "Yes, I will definitely take care of it. Master, you and the other seniors come with me. I'll take you directly to the city lord's mansion." The dragon waved its hand and said: "No need, just staying at an inn is fine."

  Huang Han responded with a sound, turned around and led the way with Huang Yu in front. The surprised voice of Piao Miao transmitted: "Long, when did you become a one-word shoulder king of Zhao Song Guo, it sounds like your power is very great."

  Hai Long smiled and said, "What's so good about being the king of ordinary people? One day, I will become the king of all immortals." At this point, he briefly told the story to the four people from Piao Yu. Due to Li Zongbing's interruption, Hai Long ordered him to punish the clumsy soldier from before, and Shi Shui's anger dissipated a bit, no longer arguing with Hai Long.

  After listening to Hailong's account, Piaomiao said: "Originally, the seven major sects of our Xiuzhen world should not have participated in the struggles of mortal nations. However, since there were people from the Youzong at that time, it didn't matter if you took action. Nevertheless, it's still better to have less contact with ordinary people in the future. If other sects find out, they will gossip."

  While speaking, Huang Han had already led them to the front of a grand hotel. The inn was three stories high and covered a vast area. From the outside, it looked well-decorated, with a sign that read "Qian Fu Ju" in three large characters. Huang Han turned around and said to Hai Long, "Master, do you think this place is suitable? This is the best hotel in Tianbo City."

  Hailong nodded and said: "Let's stay here. Arrange three rooms for us. A standard room with two people per room is fine."

  Huang Huan responded with a sound, just about to go and handle it, but heard Zhi Shui say: "Wait a minute, why do you need so many rooms? One triple room and one double room are enough."

  Hailong nodded and said, "Are you willing to live with Hongzhi and Xiaojilings?" Zhi Shui hummed and said, "It's you who lives with them, I'll live with my master sister. I'm afraid of being lonely by myself."

  "Hai Long said angrily: 'No, you...' Xiao Yu pulled his hand and said: 'Forget it, Long. Let's do as Shifu Mei said. If the love is long-lasting, why bother with every day and night.'"

  Huang Yu's slender body trembled slightly, she glanced at Hailong and then looked at the fluttering veil covering her face, and her heart couldn't help but feel a pang of sourness. Huang Han asked tentatively: "Master, that..."

  Hai Long said somewhat irritably, "Just one room for two people and one room for three people." Huang Han responded with a sound and went to take care of it first. Huang Yu led the crowd into the hotel. The lobby of the hotel was a very large dining hall, with nearly a hundred dark red wooden tables arranged inside, and exquisite lanterns hung from the ceiling, giving off an ancient charm that made people feel comfortable.

  Hongzhi and Xiao Jiling didn't stand on ceremony, so they sat down first. Xiao Jiling said: "Hailong, let's eat something first. I've been starving all day, I'm about to collapse." Hailong nodded, and Piaomiao and Zhi Shui also sat down. Huang Ou asked: "Master, what would you like to eat?" At this time, it was already past lunchtime, and the dining hall only had their table. Hailong said: "You choose, whatever is good, just bring it." Huang Ou responded and went to order at the counter. Watching her leave, Hongzhi said: "Boss, I really admire you from the bottom of my heart. Having power is so great."

  Hai Long glanced at him and said, "If you think it's good, I'll let you have the title of 'Parallel Shoulder King'. Just don't talk nonsense in front of my two territories later."

  "Hong Zhi said: 'I know. In front of our disciples, we will still give you some face. After all, one should not bite the hand that feeds them, haha.'"

  After a while, Huang Han and his sister returned. They stood behind Hai Long, and Huang said: "Master, everything has been arranged. I asked the boss here to clean up two of the quietest rooms for you and the other seniors." Hai Long nodded and said: "You all sit down too. Let's have something to eat together."

  Huang Handao said, "With Master here, where is the reason for the disciples to sit? Besides, we just ate not long ago." Hailong frowned and said, "Don't pretend, I hate etiquette the most. I let you sit, so sit down." Huang Handao and Huang Xuan looked at each other before sitting down. Hailong said, "Come, let me introduce you to my good brothers Hongzhi and Xiaojilong."

  Huang Han and his sister quickly stood up again to pay their respects to the two, Huang Han somewhat embarrassedly said to Hong Zhi: "Senior, I'm really sorry, I forgot that you're a monk. I'll go prepare some vegetarian dishes for you." Hong Zhi was startled, repeatedly waving his hand: "No need, no need. As the saying goes, 'wine and meat pass through the intestines, Buddha is in the heart', so there's no need to trouble, the more meat and fish the better."

  Hailong burst out laughing and said, "You don't have to be polite to him, this fake monk eats more meat and drinks more wine than anyone else!" As he spoke, he pulled up the delicate small hand, saying: "Let me introduce you, this is my wife, Piaomiao. Piaomiao, they are my disciples, so they're not exactly outsiders, you can show your true self to them." Piaomiao smiled slightly and slowly removed the bamboo hat from her head.

  "Huang Han and Huang Yu bowed respectfully, saying: 'Greetings, Master's wife...' When the ethereal and otherworldly face appeared before them, both were stunned. Huang Han had not a single disrespectful thought in his mind; to him, Xiao Yu was like the Goddess of Mercy, dignified and inviolable, and he became even more reverent. But Huang Yu had different thoughts; she had always been proud of her own beauty, but now, seeing Xiao Yu, her heart turned cold as ice. Compared to this celestial being who seemed not to belong to this world, she felt like a small firefly, dull and insignificant in the bright moonlight. At that moment, she suddenly recalled the scene when she first met Hai Long; at that time, she had mistakenly thought he had ulterior motives - how foolish! With such an exquisite wife, how could he possibly have any intentions towards her? Overwhelmed with shame, Huang Yu couldn't help but lower her head."

  A faint smile, "You're welcome. I also just found out today that Hailong has disciples, Hailong has been in quiet meditation, I suppose there's nothing good to give you. Looking at your cultivation, it should not be at the peak of the mountain, these two flying swords are still usable, with my infused array, you can use them first, it will have some benefits for your future cultivation." A flash of green light, a white and red pair of long swords appeared in Xiao's hand, just the faint glow on the sword, Huang Fan siblings knew it was not an ordinary item. The two couldn't help but look up at Hailong.

  "Ah, wife, you really know how to win people over! Actually, they're just my nominal disciples, I haven't taken them in as part of the sect. But since you've already brought it up, Huang Han and Huang Wei, you can take it. Such a great thing, why didn't I get one back then? It's much better than that Tian Shi guy's." The Huang siblings were overjoyed, hastily thanking her profusely as they accepted the flying swords. Huang Han held the white sword, while Huang Wei held the red one. As soon as they grasped the swords, they simultaneously felt a vast and majestic spiritual energy emanating from the blades, refreshing their minds and bodies.
