Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 607 202: The Exchange Between Man and Dragon Is Not Intimate

"Father, are you even listening to yourself?" Ao Qing's eyes widened like the Luminous Pearls of the Dragon Palace, a cold glint flashing within them.

What did he mean, 'can be the lesser one'?

Why should *I* be the lesser one?

No, why should I form any bond with him at all?

"Mother, am I really your biological child?" Ao Qing turned to the middle-aged woman with dragon horns.

"..." Wang Mu.

She must be their biological child; no one else would try to sell her off this quickly.

"Child... you don't understand," the Old Dragon King said earnestly. "Not everyone can form a bond with an ancestor of the Ascension Realm. If you could become like sisters with that ancestor, it would be a tremendous stroke of fortune."

"I am a disciple of the Great Immortal!" Ao Qing shouted angrily. "The Great Immortal is also an Ascension Realm powerhouse. Why would I need to cling to other relationships?"

"You are merely a registered disciple of the Great Immortal. That's a different story," the Old Dragon King said. "Being a registered disciple doesn't count for much; our Dragon Palace has tens of thousands of registered Water Clan Spirits."

"Moreover," the Old Dragon King said, looking Wang Mu up and down, "I think this cultivator is very promising and very much to my liking. He will surely achieve great things in the future! You must trust your father's judgment."

Have I already stood out that much? Wang Mu thought to himself.

"That's right," the middle-aged woman by his side said with a slight nod. "Think about it, someone who could become a Taoist couple with an Ascension Realm powerhouse can't be simple, can they?"

"..." Wang Mu.

Ao Qing fell silent. Her father and mother certainly had some twisted ways of looking at things! Come to think of it, the Great Immortal was like that too. This man... what makes him so special?

She shook her head, not voicing her confusion, and swiftly turned to leave. "You two are unbelievable! I just brought him to ask about the Five-Colored Divine Gold; the rest has nothing to do with me."

"This child!" Seeing Ao Qing leave like that, the Old Dragon King could only say, "She must be a bit thin-skinned and shy. Cultivator, please don't mind. This child of mine has revered cultivation since she was young and has rarely interacted with the opposite sex."

"About that..." Wang Mu pondered. "The Five-Colored Divine Gold, isn't there another way?"

"Not for now," the Old Dragon King said, waving his hand. "He is not of the Dragon Clan bloodline; how could we haphazardly hand over such a Divine Artifact to an outsider? The Cultivator can only marry into our Dragon Clan."

"But your daughter is unwilling," Wang Mu said. "Forcing her like this won't make her happy; she might even end up hating you."

"The Little Cultivator is truly understanding," the Old Dragon King said, looking at Wang Mu with approval. "You even speak up for her! Don't worry, I know my own daughter. She has liked beautiful things since she was young. You have handsome features, a good character, and your talent isn't bad either. If you two marry, affection will grow over time, and she will be happy."

"Trust me, I'm an experienced dragon."

"..."

Does he really understand? Wang Mu's mouth twitched slightly; he felt this Dragon King wasn't entirely serious.

"That won't work..." Wang Mu mused. "The one at my home is quite... jealous and wouldn't accept me finding another Taoist couple. Is there no other way?"

This was no joking matter; Ao Qing was Bi You's disciple. He couldn't mess around, especially not by poaching from his own backyard.

"This..." The Old Dragon King hesitated. If that's the case, this is quite troublesome. An Ascension Realm expert being jealous... that's a difficult situation indeed. We can't afford to offend her, can we?

"This is indeed troublesome." The Old Dragon King adopted a contemplative expression, then glanced at Wang Mu with a hint of doubt. "As for other methods, there are some..."

Wang Mu's eyes lit up.

"Only, it might not be feasible for you," the Old Dragon King shook his head.

"Please tell me."

"Beneath the Dongling Sea lies an ancient Sea Abyss," the Old Dragon King said. "Below the Divinity Transformation realm, those who enter rarely return alive. Recently, there has been unrest in the sea domain, and even with my control, it's somewhat overwhelming."

The Old Dragon King sighed lightly. "I wanted Qing'er to find a husband soon, marry, and pass on the bloodline. This is also for the future of our Dongling Dragon Palace. After all, in her generation, she is truly the only one who can temporarily shoulder such a heavy responsibility..."

"Sea unrest?" Wang Mu asked, surprised. "I thought the Dongling Sea was quite calm?"

"Beneath the calm surface, there are undercurrents that ordinary people can hardly detect," the Old Dragon King smiled. "You are not from our Dragon Palace or the Sea Clan, so discussing too much with you serves no purpose... The Demon Path is currently converging in Xilu, causing disturbances throughout the Four Seas. If you've only just arrived, you naturally wouldn't know..."

"What exactly is the issue?" Wang Mu asked.

The Old Dragon King said thoughtfully:

"In that Sea Abyss, strange creatures lurk, wantonly disturbing our Dongling Sea Domain.

"I cannot sense those creatures, yet they possess a bizarre power to control the dead of the Sea Clan. That Sea Abyss is where many of our deceased ancestors from the Dongling Sea are entombed; they have guarded that place generation after generation. However, recently, I've heard the calls of our ancestors from within that sea domain...

"If this continues, chaos might erupt... That Sea Abyss is of utmost importance...

"When the time comes, I must personally go to suppress it, and it might be a journey of no return..."

The Old Dragon King spoke very briefly, which would probably leave ordinary cultivators baffled.

But Wang Mu roughly understood the situation. No wonder he's so anxious to find a husband for his daughter.

"Logically, I should have reported this to Immortal Bi You, who presides over the Four Seas," the Old Dragon King said, shaking his head. "Unfortunately, Immortal Bi You is currently in closed-door cultivation and probably cannot attend to matters here."

"I can only have Qing'er come back..."

"While I am still around, let her find a husband, to carry on the bloodline for our Dongling Dragon Palace..."
