Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 139 Bai Qingyi: I accept this prince consort!
Luo Qingxuan's attitude can be described as simple and straightforward, but Ling Changqing really doesn't dare to agree now.

The power relations within the deep-sea dragon clan are complicated and intertwined, and Ling Changqing has no idea how much say this dragon girl actually has.

If the elders in her family disagree with this matter at all, Ling Changqing’s situation would be difficult to predict.

The most ideal outcome, of course, would be for the other party to drive him out of the dragon territory and allow him to return to the sea and regain his freedom.

Another possibility is that he was beaten to death on the spot by the dragon elders.

But the probability of both situations occurring is somewhat low. The more likely possibility is that Ling Changqing was imprisoned and raised by the high-level Dragon Clan members and will never see the light of day again.

After all, no matter what, Ling Changqing's luck and fortune, which far exceed those of ordinary people, are still very valuable. No matter whether it is the dragon clan or other intelligent races, no one will refuse such an opportunity.

"...Madam, the maids and guards around you seem to be all human, right?"

Ling Changqing asked, at least according to his own observation, it should be correct.

It is said that there are also many humans living in the dragon's territory. After all, the current dragon tribe is limited in size, and many things depend on the support of human people.

Luo Qingxuan said softly: "Their ancestors were indeed human, and later intermarried with the dragon race, and have been passed down from generation to generation to the present day, so they all have a trace of dragon blood in their bodies..."

It is rumored that in the distant ancient times, the dragon clan once had a long golden age, and at that time they were the true overlords of the world.

Those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the sea are all different branches of the dragon clan.

Those who hold the authority over heaven and earth are naturally the several immortal ancestors of the dragon clan.

At that time, other intelligent races could only struggle to survive in the dark underground world.

Later, as one catastrophe after another came, alien races from outer space invaded, causing the ancestors of the dragon clan to die one after another, or be seriously injured and fall into a deep sleep.

Affected by this, this huge ethnic group gradually fell from the altar, not only losing the authority over heaven and earth, but also 99% of their descendants were wiped out.

The remaining dragons were forced to retreat into the deep sea and live in seclusion in some small cave worlds, thus avoiding the crisis of genocide.

Of course, when the dragon clan withdrew from the stage of the protagonists of heaven and earth, there were still some human beings who were protected by them and voluntarily followed them to the bottom of the sea.

Therefore, there are still a large number of human beings living in the deep sea dragon territory. The outstanding ones among them also have the opportunity to intermarry with the dragons.

In short, although the dragon clan is no longer the protagonist of the world and has long retreated behind the scenes, its strength and foundation should not be underestimated.

"After we get to the cave, I'll take you to meet my brothers and sisters, right?"

Luo Qingxuan smiled and said, "They have always been dissatisfied with me. Today I will let them see..."

"But please don't,"

Ling Changqing said quickly: "My current cultivation is still low, I am afraid I am unable to protect myself, let's wait until you have been baptized by the thunder pool!"

A mere foundation-building cultivator is not worth mentioning in the dragon clan's territory where powerful people are everywhere. Ling Changqing doesn't want to bring trouble to himself and Luo Qingxuan because of his arrogance.

In the current situation, it is better to be low-key and cautious.

Luo Qingxuan looked a little disappointed: "Well, I have to inconvenience you for a while. I wanted to arrange a banquet for you."

"My lady, you have the intention, but it's really not necessary!"

Ling Changqing said this, feeling slightly relieved.

This dragon princess was probably used to being arrogant and domineering in her own territory in the past. After getting a treasure, she naturally couldn't help but show it off in front of her brothers and sisters.

However, this is obviously incompatible with the essence of the Taoism generally followed by the human race in the world of immortal cultivation.

As he spoke, the scene in the magic projection mirror changed. The originally slightly dim underwater environment was replaced by a sunny scene.

The luxurious carriage shaped like a palace shook slightly, as if it had passed through a thick barrier and entered a completely new world.

In the distance, a magnificent and towering city came into view. Its dark blue walls were covered with ancient and majestic wind, thunder and cloud patterns, with a faint light flowing through them.

Outside this huge city that stretches for thousands of miles, you can see numerous villages and towns scattered around, and countless mortals are busy working in the vast fields.

This is a small world that is almost isolated from the outside world, with all kinds of landforms such as mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and rivers.

“…I see. I understand!”

Ling Changqing sighed slightly.

This should be a set of extremely high-grade ancient formation, protecting this complete paradise and allowing billions of lives to thrive and reproduce in it.

"My dear, this is my territory!"

Luo Qingxuan smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing to be surprised about. This is just one of the many territories of the Deep Sea Dragon Clan!

My father's territory is really huge, you will definitely have a chance to see it in the future."

Ling Changqing nodded silently. It can be seen that the wealth of this Dragon Princess is far beyond previous imagination.

So... am I really going to be kept by her?
Even though it feels a bit embarrassing, this soft rice... is it really delicious?

The carriage passed through the city gate, then drove straight in, passing through a series of prosperous streets, and finally stopped in front of the magnificent and luxurious palace square in the center of the city.

"My dear, let's go in!"

Luo Qingxuan, who was wearing a fiery red dress and was extremely beautiful, hugged Ling Changqing and spoke with a sweet smile.

Ling Changqing wanted to ask her if she had any means to change her body shape and appearance, but thought better of it.

In a place like this, it doesn't seem to make much sense whether you pretend or not.

They walked out of the carriage hand in hand. Outside on the white jade square, there was already a large group of palace maids in colorful clothes and heavily armored guards lined up to greet them.

"…We respectfully welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess back!"

In front of the guard of honor, hundreds of ministers in brightly colored costumes bowed in salute.

Ling Changqing took a quick glance and realized that these people should be Luo Qingxuan's direct lineage. There were men and women, young and old, and most of them were at the Zhendan and Jindan levels.

Luo Qingxuan said some polite words casually, then waved his hand to signal them to leave.

It’s not that no one noticed the beautiful young man in purple beside her, but Luo Qingxuan didn’t intend to explain it, so they didn’t dare to ask more.

Surrounded by a group of trusted maids, Luo Qingxuan took Ling Changqing's arm and entered the palace. The architectural style of the dragon clan was grand and extravagant, with white jade floor tiles several feet square, carved crystal coral corridors, and red gold columns that could be hugged by several people everywhere.

After turning around a screen wall with a relief carving of coiled dragons, Ling Changqing looked around. On a white jade pedestal in the distance, large purple-gold and black-iron tripods with animal patterns about ten feet high were placed in rows, as well as many majestic sculptures of mythical beasts.

Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. Magnificent palaces stretch out in a row, with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, majestic and solemn, exuding a gorgeous, majestic, and magnificent style.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the spiritual energy here is extremely abundant, having at least reached the level of a fourth-order spiritual vein.

Moreover, the essence of water spiritual energy in the space is quite rich, which has unimaginable benefits to the Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra that Ling Changqing majored in.

"By the way, my lady, there is a Sutra Library here, right? Can I go over and take a look?"

Ling Changqing asked.

The Xuanzhen Black Water Sutra that he majored in was still of too low a grade. If he could find a suitable high-level manual of martial arts here, it would be a huge win.

Luo Qingxuan blinked her beautiful eyes, and after a little thought, she realized:
"My dear, you want to change your cultivation method, right? That's not a problem. I'll take you to the Sutra Hall to choose one later."

"Thank you for your trouble, ma'am!"

Ling Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"We are husband and wife, why do we need to be so polite?"

Luo Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, then took his arm and walked into her bedroom.

But just as I sat down, a tall female guard in snow-white armor came in, bowed and reported:

"Your Highness, your... mother is here!"

Luo Qingxuan's expression changed slightly: "My mother never leaves the house, why did she suddenly come here this time?"

Her territory is quite far away from her father's territory, but there is a teleportation array connecting them, so traveling back and forth is quite convenient.

Ling Changqing responded calmly: "It should be because of me, right? So you rushed over to call me to task?"

It was obvious that among the people around Luo Qingxuan, there was a spy planted by her mother. After seeing Ling Changqing's appearance, he informed them.

Luo Qingxuan's face turned slightly cold, and he obviously thought of this as well.

"Forget it. I'll go and greet my mother right away. Do you want to come with me?"

Luo Qingxuan said softly.

Ling Changqing shook his head: "I won't go, otherwise the situation may be worse."

If... he meant if, the dragon clan mistress was displeased with him and insisted on being the villain who broke up the couple, then things would be easier.

It would be best if she turned hostile on the spot and drove me away directly, so that I could regain my freedom.

Luo Qingxuan pursed her lips and stopped insisting: "Well, my dear, you stay here. I will go and comfort my mother and come back."

This dragon girl seemed to be somewhat afraid of her biological mother.

“…I’m already here!”

A pleasant voice with a soft and gentle voice and a hint of anger was heard.

As the pearl curtain rolled up, a stunningly beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, with her hair tied up high and a halo all over her body, walked in slowly, surrounded by a group of palace maids.

Her appearance is about 60% similar to Luo Qingxuan's, but you can't tell the age difference. Her temperament is just more mature, and her majesty and nobility reveal a hint of sharpness.

This woman is Luo Qingxuan’s biological mother Bai Qingyi, the legitimate wife of the chief of the deep-sea dragon clan.

Luo Qingxuan quickly pulled Ling Changqing to salute, and said with a nervous look:

"Mother, why... did you come here suddenly?"

Bai Qingyi snorted: "If I don't come again, you will violate the clan's teachings and do something lawless, right?

If your father knew about this, wouldn't he be furious? "

Instead of practicing well in the cave temple, his own daughter ran out to wander around, and even went crazy to find a young human cultivator to be her Taoist partner?

This is absolutely ridiculous!

Luo Qingxuan's face turned pale, but she still insisted:

"Mother, I know the pros and cons. There must be a reason for this."

She pulled Ling Changqing over and pushed him in front of Bai Qingyi: "With your vision, mother, you should be able to understand your daughter's choice. Isn't someone like Ling Changqing, who is deeply blessed by the aura of the Great Dao, much stronger than those so-called geniuses?"

Bai Qingyi swept her cold and arrogant eyes over Ling Changqing. She didn't think much of it at first, but when she looked at him again, she felt something was wrong.

"Well, you...you are Ling Changqing?"

Bai Qingyi's eyes became more solemn, and he walked closer to take a closer look at the beautiful young man in purple in front of him.

it's over...

Ling Changqing shuddered, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

He stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Junior Ling Changqing, greets the Dragon Clan Mistress."

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Bai Qingyi nodded slightly, with a hint of smile in her eyes:
"Ling Changqing, right? It seems that it was fate that Qingxuan was able to meet you."

Ling Changqing said cautiously: "I don't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts. If you, Queen, feel that it is inappropriate, then can you let me go back?"

"Why so?"

Bai Qingyi smiled and said, "If it was an ordinary human genius seed, I would naturally not take a second look at it, but you are different.

"I accept you as my Prince Consort!"

But I couldn't help but feel a little conflicted in my heart. Could my daughter seize such an opportunity?
