Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 353 The "Internet Cable" Has Been Seen!
"Why are you going to see the Dragon King?"

The Tai Shui Dragon King, known for his "good temper," was unusually irritable as he came up and asked questions, even with a hint of accusation.

This form of the Tai Shui Dragon King is extremely rare. Although Fang Xianyu only had one interaction with the Tai Shui Dragon King last week, he remembered that the other party was a fat man who always smiled and had crescent-shaped eyes. This was the Tai Shui Dragon King in human form. He had never seen such a strange appearance.

Now he has a dragon face, with long whiskers flying and bulging eyes, vividly demonstrating what it means to "blow one's beard and glare." It's unclear whether this is because the Kui dragon race is like this, or whether the Tai Shui Dragon King is truly in a bad mood at the moment.

Yingxi stood to the side, looking somewhat embarrassed. She seemed surprised by the reaction of the Water Dragon King, and her face showed an apologetic expression that seemed to want to say something but couldn't.

Baili Shuang replied calmly and respectfully, "This matter is somewhat confidential, and I really can't say... It's related to Yinglong."

The Water Dragon King snorted rather irritably and said, "You're looking for her, it must be related to Yinglong!"

Baili Shuang then realized that what she had said was very ambiguous, and hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood. I was talking about the Yinglong from ancient times, that is... the first Yinglong in the Guixu Realm, that ancient god, and it is related to him."

"what?"

Upon hearing Baili Shuang's words, the Tai Shui Dragon King suddenly lowered his head, approached Baili Shuang, and stopped about a meter away from her. He carefully examined her, and his two large, lantern-like dragon eyes revealed undisguised doubt: "You are... a puppet body?"

Baili Shuang nodded readily: "Yes."

"A puppet body... not yet controlled by the primordial spirit... hiss..."

The entire dragon of the Tai Shui Dragon King couldn't help but pull itself out of the crystal pillar. Then, a thick, colorful fog suddenly rose up. When the fog dissipated, the huge white-scaled Kui dragon transformed into the image of a man who was not very tall and had a potbelly.

The Water Dragon King, now in human form, circled Baili Shuang, his curiosity growing stronger. Finally, he asked bluntly, "What kind of supernatural power is this? How can you control puppets with your divine sense? I see you are not a person who has attained enlightenment... Wait, could it be that you built a temple and inscribed a title, using this as... No, that won't do! Besides, judging from your aura, you don't seem like such a short-sighted person! Strange! Strange! What an exquisite technique!"

Baili Shuang humbly replied, "This is but a small trick; I dare not call it a divine power."

"Don't be modest, your supernatural abilities are far more powerful than any I know! Divine sense... divine sense... um..."

As the Dragon King Tai Shui spoke, he fell into thought. Then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes widened and glowed with golden light, turning into golden pupils! He looked at Baili Shuang with his golden eyes, then seemed to have discovered something. He looked down her body and muttered, "What is this 'spiritual thread'? No, it's not a 'thread' either. If I were to cut it, I wouldn't know where to begin! Unless I drain all the spiritual energy... Alas! That won't work! This thing doesn't rely on spiritual energy... Wonderful! Wonderful! What a divine technique!"

Hearing the Dragon King of the Waters chanting, Baili Shuang was startled.

This Water Dragon King is indeed extraordinary; he can even "see" something like a "network cable"!

This "network cable" is an unobservable signal transmission channel that she created using system energy points. It was unobservable before, and now it is at least difficult to observe. It is somewhat like a spiritual version of a radio signal, except that it is so unruly that it cannot be affected by anything—as long as she has enough system energy points.

This thing was beyond the comprehension of the natives of the Guixu Realm, who had long lived in a state of wild rule, and could not be affected by them. Fang Xianyu had always been very at ease, but he never expected that this Taishui Dragon King could actually "see" it! Could it be that even immortals and gods who have attained divine authority can "see" it?

Baili Shuang pondered to herself, a sense of worry suddenly creeping into her heart.

As the Water Dragon King muttered these words, a white-scaled Kui dragon, almost identical to the Water Dragon King's true form but much smaller, flew rapidly from a distance. As it flew, the same colorful mist as the Water Dragon King swirled around it. In the blink of an eye, when it arrived beside the Water Dragon King, it had transformed into a beautiful young woman.

The woman wore a vermilion gauze dress, a jeweled hair crown, and three emerald green bracelets that jingled on her wrists. Even her waist was wrapped with a belt of jade beads, with two jade pendants, one green and one black, hanging from it.

She said apologetically, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. My father has always been fond of studying supernatural powers and techniques. He was so excited to see something new that he neglected his duties. Please forgive him!"

As she spoke, the dragon girl performed a perfectly standard bow, the kind of greeting that human cultivators would use when exchanging questions.

Baili Shuang returned the greeting, saying, "You're too kind, Dragon Girl. It's something to be proud of to receive praise from the Water Dragon King!"

"Oh dear, yes, yes, look at me, I've made a fool of myself in front of you!"

Upon hearing the Dragon Girl's apology, the Dragon King of the Waters suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Your supernatural power is indeed interesting. I doubt you would be interested in that shameless man! Well then, since it's a private matter, I won't pry. Your glass objects are quite lovely. I'll have my son escort you for a while, and then pick you up after you've finished your business. What do you say?"

The fact that the Water Dragon King offered to pick her up and drop her off made Baili Shuang feel quite flattered: "This is too much trouble for you!"

"No trouble at all, he's got nothing better to do anyway! But are those glass items unique to your sect? Could you perhaps have some custom-made? I'd like to buy some to decorate my palace, is that convenient?"

Unexpectedly, the Water Dragon King made the same request on this day in the second playthrough, leaving Baili Shuang momentarily dazed.

It seems that no matter how much we go around in circles, nothing has changed.

Baili Shuang said, "It's an honor. If you like, you can also go to Chang'an City of our Taiyin Sect to pick out some styles. There are also colorless glass pieces there, like crystal, and some that change color. There are many styles!"

The Dragon King of the Water smiled and nodded, saying, "That's wonderful! I haven't had many official documents to submit lately, so I'll go and pay my respects in a few days! By the way, may I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

"My name is Baili Shuang. I am a disciple of the Taiyin Sect and I am a physician. I do not have any courtesy name."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of Taishui became even more delighted: "What a coincidence! My name is Boqing, and as for my surname... our dragon clan has never had any surnames. If I had to say, it would be Kui! I also don't have any courtesy name! This title, 'Dragon King of Taishui,' was given to me by the world after I attained enlightenment!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he couldn't help but press further: "Don't you humans always like to have many aliases and titles? You know such exquisite supernatural powers, yet you don't have any name? In my opinion, being called something like 'Puppet Master' or 'Supernatural Immortal' would be more than enough!"

I was just having a stomachache and wanted to rampage through the King of Glory arena, but then I saw that a little angel voted for me as soon as the timer refreshed today! I was so excited that I got up in the middle of the night to add an extra chapter! Yay! I managed to get two chapters!
