Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 1183 The King Travels the World (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month, two chapters combined)

"Look, that fat, dark-skinned guy is here again."

"How could it be it?"

"The Jianghuai Great Marsh has a new ruler. There is no throne to support the sea dragon. What is it doing here?"

"Hiss, it's only been a few months, has this guy's aura gotten stronger? How come he's like a second-realm great demon? Is the black dragon's talent really that formidable?"

In the Ice Dragon Palace, the White Cloud Golden Thread Fish whispered among themselves, shocked by the "Black Dragon's" growth rate. The last time they met, this fish was only at the first realm, but in just a few months, it had already reached the second realm.
The fat catfish was smug. It swayed back and forth, sometimes swimming around, carrying a bulging yellow bag on its back. It shook its head and flicked its tail, not feeling the slightest bit cold. Seeing the White Dragon King's troops gradually gathering, it untied the rope as usual and took out the lively pomfret and red blood bass that it had just caught.

A specialty of the Jianghuai region, it promotes blood circulation, strengthens muscles and bones.

These are all six-month-old baby fish, incredibly delicious, and a must-try.

Eat fish, eat fish.

The food was offered right before their eyes, so why not take a bite? However, after a couple of bites, the aquatic beasts discovered that, just like last time, it was still a shoddy product, utterly tasteless. One of the sturgeons, with its sharp eyes, exclaimed, "What's at the bottom of this bag? It smells so strong! You won't give us anything good, but instead try to fool us with two rotten treasure fish?"

"Something good? Let me see!"

"Black Dragon, you have two faces. What you give to the Dragon King is good, but what you give us is bad!"

The fat catfish slapped away its fins, rolled and twisted its body, knocking away the surrounding fish and tightening the bag.

retreat!retreat!retreat!

"The Ape King is offering a gift, yet you rude brat dares to make a move!"

"Squeak."

The palace gates opened, and a cold current surged forth. The fish dared not make a sound and dispersed to make way. The fat catfish shivered, then its expression brightened with joy. It held the yellow bag in its fins, raised it high above its head, swept past the water beast of the E River, and presented it to the Dragon Palace.

"Jianghuai Ape King, congratulations to the White Dragon King! Scaled creatures are revered as divine dragons, and beasts are ruled by the Qilin!"

……

"Plop, plop."

Under the command of the Great Beaver, and led by Frog Guerrilla and Red-skinned Frog, one exquisite treasure ship after another sank to the bottom of the river. Big Fat and Little Fat received and placed them one by one, while the Frog King browsed and collected them, overjoyed. By the last ship, laden with dazzling treasures, they were almost too numerous to examine closely.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

With its webbed feet splashing the water, the old toad, half-asleep, stumbled out of its nest, staggered a couple of steps, and floated on the water like a dog paddling. With its eyes closed, it paddled with all four limbs, moving from the center of its territory, clinging to the hillside, around the green ridges, up and down, left and right, wandering in its mind's eye before the cave.

"Snapped!"

The snot bubble burst, and the old toad suddenly awoke, finding himself trapped in a treasure mountain, looking around in surprise.

"Hahaha, frog hahaha! Everything I found is mine, all of it is mine!"

The old toad swayed left and right, one webbed foot embracing the precious medicine, the other holding the white jade, kissing it again and again. It took deep breaths and swam back, breaststroke, and freestyle, carving a large pit in the riverbed below the treasure mountain to bury the treasure.

Big Fatty and Second Fatty were envious: "Elder, Elder, with so many treasures, we can have a grand banquet!"

The old toad's expression suddenly changed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Big Fatty and Little Fatty had a bad feeling. In the blink of an eye, they saw the elder disappear. They looked around in surprise and doubt.

where!

Where is the elder?

Vision suddenly darkened...

In the sky!
The two frogs looked up in terror, but it was too late to dodge. A figure descended from the sky, carrying anger.

"Snapped!"

Toads smeared on the face.

"Eat, eat, all you know is eating!" The old toad violently rubbed the fat frog's face, then jumped onto the second fat frog's face, stretching his arms out. "Can't you live a good life? You spend money like water, all lovey-dovey. Is the dragon dead? Locke is in the way. Is the dragon dead? Ah! Worry and toil build a nation, indulgence leads to ruin. You two, get rid of the dragon! And I'll throw a grand banquet! A grand banquet!"

Frog Guerrilla quietly asked, "What are 'Tie'er Mi' and 'Locke's Obstacles'?"

Red Frog recalled, "The elder learned the Ehe language from Afei, which seems to mean 'tell me, look at me'."

The Frog King kicked with its hind legs, shoving the boat into the cave.

Pairs of male and female aquatic beasts were sent into the West River to set up camp. Long Binglin brought the precious medicine of creation to comfort the West Turtle. "Cannot move" bit the mouth of the bag and swayed towards Pengze.

Roundhead wandered to the Sea Abyss Palace, but could not find the Sea Monk. The prosperous Sea Abyss Palace should have been half occupied by the Mermaid King and half by the Octopus King, but now half of the Octopus Clan was gone.

"Wow."

A strong river breeze dissipates the heat, the Huai-character flag flutters on the top of the boat, and finless porpoises pave the way through the waves.

"Kakakaka."

As Liang Qu ran his fingertips over Liu Tianyi's name on the bow arm, he stood at the bow of the boat, pulled the Yuanmu Great Bow and began to draw it. Four thousand merits, the reward of being made a king, countless treasures, the money for the banquet... He hadn't even seen what the things he had earned looked like before they were all divided up. Apart from the books and the royal seal, he felt like he had sealed off nothing but air.

"Snapped!"

Long Yao and Long Li breathed on the royal seal, playfully fighting over the inkpad, stamping their seals on the white paper. When Long Li wasn't looking, Long Yao slapped the red seal of the Prince of Huai onto her forehead, pressing it against her hair.

"Ouch!" Long Li rubbed her forehead, struggling with Long Yao to cover it, her face turning bright red.

Everyone laughed.

The wind blowing through the Duliang Canal brings sorrow.

It's unclear whether this lament for Wang Xi's "fallen" state is a sign of withdrawal symptoms from leaving the capital.

Being in the capital is like taking the college entrance exam; the whole world revolves around you, and you're the protagonist of the world. But once you leave the capital, you start filling out college applications and have to start thinking about reality.

"It's done, it's done! Anyone want some? Come and eat it while it's hot!" Su Guishan knocked on the iron box.

The crowd surged onto the deck.

"Since the governor is personally grilling the food, I definitely have to try it!" Ke Wenbin grabbed his wife Su Xiaoran and was the first to grab a skewer.

Su Xiaoran asked curiously, "Does Lord Su cook himself?"

"You little girl, you don't understand, do you?" Su Guishan set out new skewers and skillfully brushed on the sauce. "It's a great pity that people with refined tastes don't do things themselves, and that skillful people have to take orders from others. Eating is all about making it yourself and eating together; that's when you have fun."

Su Xiaoran pondered for a moment: "Lord Su is too kind."

"Haha, little girl, you know how to talk. Just like your grandpa, is this your first time traveling far from home? Here, have another string of them."

The water beast stretched out its claws to grab it, but by the time Liang Qu arrived, it was gone. He glanced around twice, then snatched the otter-opened bottle.

The roasted ribs are different from ordinary ribs. Beforehand, the straight bones are removed from the ribs and replaced with appropriately sized sections of white scallions from Shandong, reshaping the bone structure. They are then brushed with sauce and roasted until golden brown and oily. They are fatty but not greasy, with a hint of sweet scallion, and they look exquisite.

For those who don't like scallions, there are also asparagus, celery, okra, garlic sprouts, and even rice cakes.

Fragrant!
With friends and family all around, enjoying barbecue on the boat while feeling the river breeze is ten times better than the delicacies at Tianbolou Restaurant.

The otter crossed its arms with its paws, looking sullen, and tried to turn the rudder and sail into the ditch.

"promise."

Ms. Xu opened a string of pearls and handed it to Otter Kai. Otter Kai was overjoyed, wagged its tail, took the pearl with both paws, and abandoned the idea of ​​driving it into the ditch.

“Uncle, it’s no trouble for you to come with us at a leisurely pace. This time I’m on imperial orders to travel slowly, from north to south and from east to west. It’ll take me two or three months to get off.” Liang Qu moved a stool to the upwind side to eat some skewers, so as to avoid smelling like skewers on his clothes.

"I wouldn't have come if I hadn't traveled from north to south, or from east to west. What, is the Prince of Huai trying to drive me away?"

"Hey, what are you saying? The ship is so big, it's just hoping for lots of people. More people means more fun. You can take a look around and tell me where would be a good place to build a port."

Su Guishan flipped through the wooden slips: "Now that we've wiped out the Ghost Mother Sect, there are no more enemies in the Jianghuai Great Marshland, only water beasts. There's no need for the Demon Suppression Division and the Three Law Divisions to maintain such a scale. At least half of them should be abolished. The Huaidong River and Lake Office will not be abolished; it will also be restructured."

At least the focus has shifted from stationing troops to counter and defend against the Ghost Mother Cult to maintaining the Huai River trade route, and perhaps even expanding to the seaport. The court has given you this fiefdom, definitely intending to use your relationship with the White Ape to restore its former prosperity. Back then, you insisted that the River and Lake Bureau pay to rent the Water Spider from the Sea Monk; wasn't that already planned?" "Heh, it was just a thought at the time."

"The River and Lake Management Office is also not far from Yixing Town. This time, Yixing Town is becoming your Yixing County, and the government office is going to be moved out. All of these are major events. Going back a few months earlier won't be enough to handle them, and going back a few months later won't delay anything either."

Now that I'm with you, Prince Huai, I don't need to worry about anything. I can just say it was you who insisted on dragging me along. Those censors won't say anything. There will be plenty of people to treat us to food and drink along the way, and we'll travel all over the country. Why not?"

With great power comes great responsibility, and Liang Qu readily accepts the blame.

"Uncle is so dashing!"

"I'm just pretending to be carefree, you're the real one. You're going to have eight hundred years of good days ahead... It feels like a dream. Ten years of hard work. Back then, you had to use all your wits to deal with a few snake demons."

"Yes, it's like a dream."

Hair flying in the wind, the mighty river surging, the Huai River wide and boundless, the waves crashing like the tide, merchant ships gathering, each hoisting long sails, some as small as a dozen meters, others as large as a hundred or several hundred meters.

The oars that raise the waves are more numerous than the fish in the Eastern Sea; the masts that ride the wind are more abundant than the bamboo shoots of the Southern Mountain.

The great river flows eastward; it was the same when I visited Huangzhou years ago, and it remains the same now. The white ape and the dragon fought fiercely, their heads bleeding, yet the world remains unchanged, and the scenery remains the same.

"What are your plans for the future? The Prince of Huai no longer holds a position in the court, so there's no longer any worry about him being on duty."

Liang Qu sighed, "It's really hard to get used to not having to clock in for a while."

Su Guishan glanced sideways: "The Prince of Huai only checks in once every ten days. If you didn't know better, you'd think he only checked in on his days off. He doesn't check in when he's supposed to, but he misses it when he doesn't. Sometimes people like that... tsk tsk. Back in the day, the Marquis of Weining went all the way south to recruit people. Lizhu, do you want to learn from him? The Prince of Yue was your teacher, which is quite a story."

"Ahem." Liang Qu was embarrassed. "I'm different from my teacher. I have the support of the Dragon People and I don't lack manpower. Let's take a tour first, go home, build the royal palace, keep the furnishings the same, and arrange a more spacious room for my uncle."

"Hey, this is great!" Su Guishan's eyes lit up. "Anything else?"

"When the white rain falls, the dragon maiden is captured, and she weaves a silk 2.5 feet long. Of course, she will marry Eying."

They were of one mind; the Dragon Girl turned around, Liang Qu grinned, and Long Eying smiled too.

"Huh? Didn't you two already have a marriage contract? Oh, you mean the wedding? You're definitely going to have a big one, so what are you planning?"

"Of course it will be held in the Dragon Palace, the second grandest wedding in the world. It's being renovated right now."

"Oh." Su Guishan's eyes lit up. "Who are you planning to invite?"

"When you invite anyone, you can't forget your uncle. There will be plenty of drinks and food. As for food, there will be plenty of delicacies from the Jianghuai region. We'll make sure there's a wide variety."

"Good, good, good! Let's give Prince Huai a big red envelope!" Su Guishan brushed on the sauce. "It's ready again, anyone want it?"

"Here it comes!" Xu Zishuai strode forward, grabbed a handful, put them on a plate, and distributed them to his sect.

Liang Qu took another skewer and chewed on the scallion ribs: "Speaking of which, I also have something I'd like to trouble you with, Uncle."

"explain."

"White Ape and I can't run around now, it's easy to have arguments. We're not as powerful as Dragon Lord, who can go anywhere in the world. I'd like to ask my uncle, the governor, for help. Could you find some connections and ask the River and Lake Administration in the north if we can find an opportunity to bring back the Beaver Clan from back then?"

"You and the white ape are planning to rebuild the Jianghuai land and island region?"

"Correct!"

This was also Liang Qu's plan long ago. The prosperity of the Jianghuai region in the past was inseparable from the central island and the construction by the beaver clan. It was just that the island collapsed and the beavers moved north.

At that time, it will become a trade hub, connecting its thirteen ports, and finally, a port will be built to reach the East China Sea, which will be given to the Sea Monk.

"Okay, I'll think of a way."

"Uncle, you've gone to a lot of trouble."

"Ah Shui!" Xu Zishuai brought out a large bucket of watermelon juice, "To make you some bubble tea."

Liang Qu grabbed the wooden bucket and shook it. The sweet watermelon water instantly turned into watermelon soda, with dense, bubbling bubbles rising to the surface. Long Eying also grabbed the wooden bucket, and ice cubes floated and collided one by one.

"Haha, great, great, this is the drink for summer, so refreshing and invigorating!" Xu Zishuai excitedly took it away, "Come on, come on, drink some chilled watermelon juice, help yourself, help yourself."

……

night.

Ripples and the crest of the tide shimmer with the faint light of stars and moon.

All sounds are silent.

The boat captain steadfastly remained at his post every shift.

In the small bedroom, Long E sat cross-legged on a futon, diligently cultivating the "Qiankun Spirit Seed Technique," refining the energy branches sent by Liang Qu, her Qi Sea swirling. After a long time, the star fruit within her body, guided by the energy, degenerated into a Grain in Ear seed, but gradually sprouted branches, its form not that of Liang Qu's lush peach tree, but rather that of a mulberry tree!
Yin and Yang are in opposite directions, and Heaven and Earth rise and fall.

The mulberry sapling has slender branches and two lush green leaves.

Become!

Once the technique is mastered, its mysteries are boundless.

Instead of joy, Long Eying felt nervous and expectant. With the help of the immortal, both Yin and Yang had tree seeds, which would allow the fruit to remain hidden and not be wasted.

It has been more than a year since his death.

I left the meditation room.

Her heart was beating lightly, not at all the relaxed rhythm a Celestial Master should have. Long Eying straightened her clothes, lifted the quilt, and tentatively stretched out her toes, carefully climbing onto the bed without disturbing anyone. Unexpectedly, someone was already pretending to be asleep on the bed. Her ankle under the quilt was suddenly tightened and grabbed by a large hand. With a soft cry, she was pulled into the quilt.

It pressed down on me with a heavy, hot, rough texture.

Long Eying touched the clearly defined muscles on Liang Qu's waist, which were knotted like a crouching leopard. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she couldn't help but open her small mouth to exhale, spreading a sweet peach fragrance.

Liang Qu wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed them tightly together.

Her heart pounded lightly in her chest, and her lower abdomen was full and soft, like pressing on a soft marshmallow. He pinched her toes and soles, and his rough palms moved up her ankles to her thighs. He couldn't help but grab them, and the full, soft flesh overflowed from between his fingers. Only then did Liang Qu realize with surprise that his wife was wearing a shiny silk dress.

It's all because the dragon girl's skin is too smooth; I almost couldn't feel it.

Such actions need no words.

……

Sunlight streamed through the carved window into the room, and the silk quilt was lifted, releasing a burst of heat.

"Ha ha……"

Her black hair was sticking together, Long E's bright eyes were unfocused, her vision was blurred, her chest, cheeks, and whole body were flushed red like peach blossoms, she was breathing heavily, and beads of sweat slid down her curves.

He placed his palm on her, feeling her lower abdomen tighten and relax in waves. Liang Qu couldn't help but laugh. He brushed aside her hair, lowered his head to kiss her forehead and the corners of her mouth, hugged her for a while, covered her with the blanket, tucked her in, and went into the small room.

Ultimately, we're on the ship, not at home. Master Xu is on the ship; he can't accomplish anything without showing up for a few days, and there's no need for him to. Just quenching our thirst is enough; there are more important matters to attend to.

It's September, late summer and early autumn, and the Dragon Man's lotus seeds are fully ripe, guaranteeing at least 110,000 essences.

Having opened the Heavenly Gate, his own realm has grown and solidified, but the fusion with Ze Ling is still one step short.

Liang Qu deliberately asked for two-thirds more to ensure the total amount was met, which reduced the share of the other dragon people. However, Long Zongyin did not refuse at all. Right now, the dragon people have reclaimed the Dragon Palace and are overjoyed. Losing a year is no problem. They should have eaten last night. Obviously, he was delayed by something important.
