Mu Qingxiao shook his head and said, "You're just a Sky Immortal. What can you do for me? Saving you was just a matter of convenience. You should leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light shrouded him. Jinghe Dragon King felt the world spinning and the scene before him changed again.
The blue sky was no longer hazy.
"This … this is the Heaven and Earth Sleeve!"
Jinghe Dragon King was too panicked earlier and did not pay much attention to his surroundings. He was only focused on breathing. Now that he came back to his senses, he realized that this was the place where Wei Zheng wanted to kill him.
As for the hazy space!
"Alright, you can go now."
With that, Mu Qingxiao turned to leave.
However, before he could take a step, Jinghe Dragon King pounced on him and hugged his thigh. He said with tears streaming down his face, "Great Immortal, please take me in. If I leave, I'll definitely be hunted down by the Heavenly Court. I'll still die."
"…"
"Great Immortal, the Dragon Clan is extremely fast. Why don't you take me in as your mount? You'll be proud when you go out."
The corner of Mu Qingxiao's mouth twitched. You're Jinghe Dragon King, yet you want to be someone's mount. If your Dragon Clan's Patriarch was still alive, he would explode in anger upon hearing your words.
Moreover, if I really take you in as my mount, I'll be hunted down by the Heavenly Court to the ends of the earth, let alone losing face.
However, seeing his pitiful appearance, Mu Qingxiao pondered for a moment. It just so happened that there were no other life forms in his small world apart from the little white fox and the silver-scaled python.
Since there were no other life forms, why not put other life forms in there?
He sized up Jinghe Dragon King. The latter was a ninth-level Sky Immortal and would break through to the Golden Immortal Realm sooner or later. Moreover, he had the power of Jinghe Underwater Palace. He was the most suitable person to guard Emperor Treading Peak.
At the very least, he was more domineering than that unreliable python.
"Since that's the case, I'll take you in. You've violated the Heavenly Law and your descendants will probably be suppressed. As for your wife, children, and subordinates in your palace, bring them along."
Hearing this, Jinghe Dragon King was overjoyed. The great immortal in front of him had extraordinary strength and was definitely someone with power and influence. Moreover, he had saved his life. Following him would be much better than following the Heavenly Court.
"Thank you, Great Immortal. This lowly deity is eternally grateful. I'll go and bring my wife, children, and forces over."
"I'm also going back to Chang 'an. Let's go."
With that, Mu Qingxiao waved her sleeve, and a crack appeared in the void. The crack expanded and turned into a door. She stepped into it and disappeared.
Traversing the void!
Jinghe Dragon King stared at the spatial door in front of him with his eyes wide open. He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly chased after it.
In the next second, they stepped out of the portal and appeared in the sky above Jing River.
When he saw this, the Jinghe Dragon King looked at Mu Qingxiao with reverence and said, "Great Immortal, even though my Jinghe Manor isn't strong in the Earth Immortal World, it still has some treasures. If you're interested, then why don't you come with me?"
Mu Qingxiao's starry eyes flashed. He had long been interested in the Dragon Palace, so he might as well go down and take a look.
"Alright."
"Great Immortal, please."
With that, the two turned into streaks of light and entered the Jinghe Manor.
At this moment, the Jinghe Manor was decorated with pearls and scallops. A young man with the head of a dragon and the body of a human was sitting on a throne in silver armor. He was enjoying the song and dance. When he saw the Jinghe Dragon King enter, he immediately stood up.
"Father, what happened just now? Why was there such a huge commotion from above?"
Zhuo Long was the son of the Jinghe Dragon King and the nephew of the Dragon King of the West Sea. The Dragon had nine sons, each of whom was different. Some of the first eight sons were in charge of managing the Huai River, some were in charge of managing the Ji River, some were in charge of managing the clock, and some were in charge of guarding the ridge. All of them had jobs. Only the ninth son, Zhuo Long, had not been assigned.
Seeing Zhuo Long come forward, the Jinghe Dragon King had no interest in his indulgence. He said, "Hurry up and bring your mother here. You can't stay here any longer."
"Father, this …"
"I'm telling you to go. Go now!"
The Jinghe Dragon King growled. Zhuo Long was startled. He glanced at Mu Qingxiao behind him before turning around and running into the depths of the Crystal Palace.
After Zhuo Long left, the Jinghe Dragon King turned around and said with a smile, "Great Immortal, my son is immature. He has embarrassed himself in front of you."
"It's fine."
Looking at the departing Zhuo Long, Mu Qingxiao shook her head slightly.
In the original work, Zhuo Long was also a sacrifice in the game. His father was beheaded by Wei Zheng, leaving him homeless. His mother died of depression. The Dragon Crown Prince eventually became a true demon.
Seeing this, the Jinghe Dragon King bowed and said, "Great Immortal, please come in. I'll bring you to the Jinghe Treasury."
Under the Jinghe Dragon King's lead, Mu Qingxiao stepped into the Jinghe Manor. There were corals, seashells, and fist-sized pearls everywhere.
The Jinghe Manor's treasury was the Jinghe Dragon King's private property. It was naturally inferior to the treasures passed down in the various Dragon Palaces.
Mu Qingxiao did not have high hopes for this. She followed behind the Jinghe Dragon King and passed through layers of restrictions. After a few minutes, they finally arrived in front of the Jinghe Treasury.
Although it was called a treasury, it was actually a stone room at the bottom of the sea. There were no restrictions on the door.
"Rumble …"
The Jinghe Dragon King waved his sleeve, and the stone door opened automatically.
When the stone door opened, the Jinghe Dragon King smiled and said, "Great Immortal, if there's anything you like, please feel free to choose. There's no need to be courteous with me."
Mu Qingxiao nodded slightly. Even if she emptied this place, the Jinghe Dragon King would not dare to say anything.
Stepping into the stone room, what entered her eyes was a space the size of two soccer fields. Large luminous pearls on the walls emitted a bright light, allowing her to see very clearly.
Looking around, the entire stone room was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry. Armors, weapons, and scraps were piled up into a small mountain.
If it were outside, there would definitely be a large group of cultivators fighting over it. However, Mu Qingxiao did not care about these things at all.
Without wasting any time, Mu Qingxiao took out her Soul Sword and allowed it to search around.
"Buzz buzz!"
Suddenly, the Soul Sword let out an excited sword hum. Mu Qingxiao raised her eyebrows. Could there really be something good in this Jinghe Treasury?
The Soul Sword reached the deepest part of the treasury with a whoosh. Then, a dark blue jade pearl floated up. Carrying the jade pearl, the Soul Sword returned to Mu Qingxiao's side.
After sizing up the jade pearl, Mu Qingxiao looked at the Jinghe Dragon King and said, "Old Dragon, do you know what this is?"
Looking at the blue jade pearl, the Jinghe Dragon King pondered for a moment and said, "This seems to be something I picked up by chance in the West Sea when I went to the West Sea. I've always felt that this jade pearl is a little strange, but I can't tell what's so strange about it."
