Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 604 201: It's Okay, She Can Be the Younger One_5

"Furthermore, you possess exceptional aptitude and impressive talents, and you will be able to follow the Great Immortal in Cultivation, so the Dragon Sons you bear in the future will surely be extraordinary... Our Dongling Dragon Clan carries a great responsibility, guarding this region. Without an heir, what are we to do?"

The middle-aged man sighed deeply, "Your mother has gotten so many white hairs over your marriage."

"But that doesn't mean I should just settle for anyone, right?" Ao Qing retorted with displeasure, "Why are there Human Clan cultivators here too? The Dragon Clan should be matched with the Dragon Clan..."

"I asked around. There's only a few of your generation left in the Dragon Clan," the middle-aged man said, "They are all unworthy. Even I don't approve of them, let alone you."

"..." Ao Qing.

"If there's no suitable match within the Dragon Clan, then as your father, I must broaden the search," the middle-aged man declared, "Now that the Human Clan is thriving, there are many outstanding Human Clan cultivators who would be acceptable."

"But how can the Human Clan compare with the Dragon Clan..."

"Our Dragon Clan is endowed with the essence of heaven and earth. With your profound Cultivation, if you were to transform into a human form, you could still nurture the 'dragon pearl' within you..." said the middle-aged man, "you could still pass on the lineage."

"I have no desire to transform into a human form," Ao Qing shook her head, "The body of our Dragon Clan is perfect as it is; why should I transform into a human form? I've already reached the limit with the Half-Dragon Body. Besides, the Great Immortals are of the Half-demon Body; why should I aspire to transform into a human form?"

"This is a manifestation of our Dragon Clan's bloodline."

Watching his daughter's haughty stance, the Old Dragon King let out a sigh.

Having followed the Great Immortal in Cultivation for many years, her standards were high. Not to mention the Human Clan, she found hardly any from the Four Seas Dragon Clan to her liking.

Yet, the responsibility of the Dongling Sea Dragon Clan was significant...

With heartfelt persistence, the middle-aged man said, "They've all come now. You have to meet them. Just see if there's anyone suitable, all right?"

"Why should I meet them..." Ao Qing huffed, "I'm at a critical juncture in my Cultivation. I've already vowed to follow the Great Immortal, to seek the Great Tao. Unless a divine Immortal descends from beyond the heavens, I will not waver."

"I have no interest in finding a mate. It's boring."

"Shouldn't you at least consider your father and mother?" the Old Dragon King entreated with tear-filled eyes, "The other seas pale in comparison to us. Their little dragons outnumber ours... My siblings can retire and enjoy their twilight years in peace..."

"But here we remain, toiling away... You don't wish to return and take charge of Dongling Sea..."

"Moreover, our Dongling Sea True Dragon Clan is blessed by the heavens, making it easier for us to continue our lineage compared to other Sea Clans... It's not so difficult."

"I don't want that..." Ao Qing shook her head resolutely, "Please send them back immediately..."

Persuasion proved fruitless.

The Old Dragon King's expression turned stern.

"Qing'er..." His countenance grew grave, "You are so obstinate. As your father, I cannot keep this from you any longer..."

Ao Qing frowned, sensing trouble.

The Old Dragon King spoke in a low voice,

"You know that our Dongling Sea guards a special seal in Xilu. You're not aware of the full extent..."

"The seal is now loosening... Your father and mother must devote our full efforts to it..."

"The prospects are grim..."

Ao Qing paused, taken aback.

"Immortal Bi You might not have mentioned it to you," the Old Dragon King continued, "When she suppressed the Four Seas, she tasked our Dongling Dragon Clan to guard this place, to keep a close watch on the seal. This is the duty of our Dongling Sea lineage."

"Now, facing grim prospects, our only wish is for you to find a mate soon, to pass on our lineage. You are the only one who can shoulder the future of Dongling Sea!"

"..." Ao Qing.

"Qing'er, you wouldn't want your father and queen mother to die without ever holding a grandchild, would you?" The Old Dragon King's face was laden with gravity, "So, think about it. We really didn't want to use this to bind you, but seeing you are so willful, we have no other choice."

Ao Qing remained silent for a while.

Seeing this, the Old Dragon King knew his daughter was somewhat swayed and continued,

"How about this: meet with them first, and if there really isn't anyone suitable, I won't force you... But if there is... perhaps it's your fate?"

"What do you say?"

"Fine..." Ao Qing could only nod reluctantly, "But I won't meet just anyone... So... I've brought along some fellow disciples from Sealing God Mountain, with whom I share my Cultivation. Their strength is adequate."

"If they can defeat them, then I shall meet them."

"Qiongqi, are you out there?"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"You've heard me. Test those fellows' strength for me, and make sure you... test them thoroughly!"

"No problem!"

The Old Dragon King frowned slightly; his daughter was proving to be quite the handful as she grew older.

"This is the Dragon Palace, and they were invited here..." the Old Dragon King coughed, "They didn't come here to fight... We are the hosts, isn't this inappropriate?"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it," Ao Qing insisted, "Those Human Clan cultivators are only eyeing the influence of our Dongling Dragon Palace. How many of them are truly sincere? Since they've come for this, isn't testing their strength quite fitting?"

"And what about you?"

"Me?"

Ao Qing thought for a moment, then gently swiped her hand across her face, turning herself into an exceedingly ugly Dragon Girl.

With a wave of her hand, a water mirror appeared, and seeing her reflection, Ao Qing nodded in satisfaction.

"My girl, this isn't wise," the Old Dragon King rubbed his head, his Dragon's Horn tingling with discomfort, "Who would fancy you in that state?"

"So Father also judges by appearances. I will go tell Mother," Ao Qing declared.

"That's not what I meant..."
