The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 84 Opening

"Oh, you want to move up the date of the engagement?" The Dragon Queen looked at the little white dragon in front of her with a blank expression. "Of course I have no objection, but the date was decided after discussing it with your mother. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to change it hastily."

"Mother," Xiao Bailong kowtowed, clenching his teeth, his face showing an expression of struggle that was difficult to speak, but he finally spoke, "You are my stepmother, so my marriage should naturally be decided by you. Besides, it's not a wedding date, just an engagement date, as long as you agree, isn't it all right?"

"Oh!" The Dragon Queen leaned forward slightly, her eyes full of oppression fell on the little white dragon, making the latter feel uneasy, "Do you think so?"

"My son..." Little White Dragon gritted his teeth and suddenly kowtowed deeply, "I hope my mother will grant my wish!"

There was silence.

After a long time, a voice came from above.

"Since we have come to this point, a month later will be the auspicious time. Since you are so anxious, change the engagement date to one month later. I will have someone prepare the invitations right away, Huan'er," the Dragon Queen instructed the maid beside her, "I don't know much about the outer court, so go inform the Minister of Turtle and ask him to prepare a list for me."

"Yes."

The fish demon named Huan'er obeyed the order.

"Now that it's over, you should go to your mother as soon as possible. I don't think she will be in a good mood."

The Dragon Queen waved her hand. The little white dragon was so obsessed and ignorant that she had no interest in dealing with him anymore.

"Thank you, mother. I'll take my leave."

The little white dragon bowed his head again and left the hall.

"Arrange for someone to pass on exactly what the Third Prince said in the palace to the Dragon Concubine."

The Dragon Queen then gave instructions to the fish demon Huan'er.

"For a woman, he even ignored his own mother. Our Third Prince is... useless."

The Dragon Queen seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be talking to Huan'er.

"However, I really want to meet this Ao Yin. With such means, the Dragon Palace will definitely be very lively when she marries in. I wonder if my sister can bear it, haha..."

The Dragon Queen covered her mouth lightly and let out a short, joyful laugh.

……

After leaving the Dragon Queen, the little white dragon went straight to the Dragon Consort. It was obvious that he knew how hurtful his words were.

But the Dragon Queen spread the news even faster than the little white dragon.

In the sleeping palace.

The rare Dragon King of the West Sea was also there, sitting at the same table, and his Dragon Consort was drinking and chatting with him.

"My beloved, I know you were wronged this time, but Lie'er's marriage has already been reported to the Great Celestial Lord, and it cannot be changed." The Dragon King took one of the Dragon Concubine's hands and gently stroked it. "However, this time, you are very sensible, and I will compensate you."

The Dragon Queen forced a smile; she understood what the Dragon King meant.

sensible?

I guess it’s because she didn’t make a fuss.

"Your Majesty."

At this moment, the West Sea Dragon King's attendant suddenly came over, and the West Sea Dragon King tilted his ear, and the attendant whispered a few words in his ear.

"Nonsense!"

The Dragon King of the West Sea frowned.

Xin'er, the maid of Dragon Princess, also got the news at this time. She looked at Dragon Princess with a conflicted expression on her face, but considering that the Dragon King of the West Sea was still there, she did not dare to step forward to report the news.

"Tell your master about this."

The Dragon King of the West Sea glanced majestically and saw Xin'er's dilemma at a glance, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Xin'er felt as if she had been pardoned, and quickly came close to Long Fei.

"My beloved concubine."

Xin'er only said a few words, and Long Fei's face turned snow-white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her lips trembled as the blood color faded.

"Ridiculous! How could I give birth to such an evil creature just for a woman? And the Dragon Queen, how could she agree to such a thing? This is ridiculous!"

The Dragon King of the West Sea held the Dragon Concubine's hand tightly across the table.

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I will definitely make the decision for you on this matter!"

Long Fei's free hand was trembling a little. She grabbed the wine glass in front of her several times before she finally did. She raised it tremblingly and spilled most of the wine without realizing it. She just struggled to lift the glass to her lips, then drank it all in one gulp and let out a long breath. Only then did she feel better.

The Dragon King of the West Sea looked at the Dragon Queen nervously, fearing that she would make a scene again. At the same time, he felt a little resentful towards the Dragon Queen in his heart.

Now there will be some time without peace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Third Prince requests to see you."

Just at this moment, the voice of the messenger sounded.

"This rebellious son, he still has the nerve to come here. Doesn't he like kneeling? He knelt for so long last time, so let him kneel again. Seal his magic power, cancel the engagement banquet, and make him kneel forever. He is not allowed to get up before the wedding!"

The Dragon King of the West Sea was furious.

"Your Majesty." The Dragon Concubine's face was still not looking good. She put down the wine glass and rubbed the back of the hand of the Dragon King of the West Sea with her free cold hand. "Let the Third Prince come in. I have something to say to him."

"Let that rebellious son get out of here!"

At this time, the Dragon King of the West Sea naturally obeyed his Dragon Queen in everything.

"Greetings to father, greetings to mother..."

As soon as Xiaobailong came in, he knelt down with his head on the ground. He was extremely uneasy, but he had no regrets.

"Lie'er, get up."

Long Fei said in a gentle tone, as if nothing had happened.

"Mother."

Little White Dragon looked up and saw the pale face of the Dragon Queen. His nose felt sore and he almost burst into tears.

"In a month, you'll be engaged."

The Dragon Queen spoke slowly, her tone still gentle, not the violent storm that Little White Dragon had expected.

"Mother, you...already know..."

Xiao Bailong's face turned pale and he felt a little guilty. Somehow, looking at the unusually calm expression of the Dragon Concubine, he became more and more uneasy.

The Dragon Queen stood up, gently broke free from the hand held by the Dragon King of the West Sea, and walked close to the little white dragon. A gentle smile appeared on her face, and a pair of heart-shaped locks flashed in her palms.

"This news came so hastily that I probably didn't have time to prepare another gift for you. This is what your mother prepared for you when you were born."

The Dragon Concubine leaned over and gently pulled the little white dragon up. She put a heart-shaped lock on the little white dragon's neck, then spread out his palm and put another one on it.

"Mother, please...hit me!"

An ominous premonition arose in Xiaobailong's heart.

"I won't hit you, and I won't hit you again in the future. I didn't know that I had been so strict with you all these years, and unknowingly made you hate me to such an extent. Lie'er, this love lock is the last gift from your mother. You are getting married, and when you grow up, your wife will accompany you on your future journey..."

"No, mother, I..."

Xiaobailong hurriedly wanted to explain and reached out to grab the Dragon Queen's hand.

"Lie'er, mother is here, you don't need to come here anymore." Long Fei stepped aside, and the moment she turned around, her eyes turned cold at the same moment.

How to redeem a broken heart?

"Send the Third Prince back."

The Dragon Princess ordered.

"Mother!"

The little white dragon fell to his knees and reached out to grab the hem of the Dragon Concubine's skirt, but the Dragon King of the West Sea made a face, and two generals from the fairyland among his personal guards stepped forward and held the little white dragon.

"throw it out!"

The West Sea Dragon King gave the order with a flash of disgust in his eyes.

"I was wrong!"

"Mom, I know I was wrong!"

"I am your child, look at me!"

The little white dragon struggled violently, but he could not move. He was dragged all the way and thrown out of the palace gate.

"Mother, please don't abandon me..."

The palace door closed and the last shout floated in.

Princess Long had her back to him the whole time and didn't look back. But at the moment the palace door closed, a tear finally fell on her face.

"My beloved, don't be too sad. You need to take care of yourself. It's not worth it for this rebellious son."

The Dragon King of the West Sea was rarely gentle. He raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the Dragon Queen's face.

"My Lord," the Dragon Concubine suddenly raised her hand and held the Dragon King of the West Sea, tears still visible on her face, "You just said that you would compensate me, but I wonder if that still counts."

"This... My beloved, the Queen Dragon did something a bit too much, but..." The Dragon King of the West Sea felt a bit overwhelmed. He thought the Queen Dragon was going to cause trouble for her. "Don't worry, my beloved, I will definitely reprimand her severely!"

"What do you want, sister?" The Dragon Concubine looked at the Dragon King of the West Sea with some surprise, "I just want to ask the prince to give me another child."

"Uh... ah!"

This sudden turn of events left the Dragon King of the West Sea dumbfounded even though he was well-informed.

……

Three full days.

Qingyi searched the area around the water source for thousands of miles, but still found nothing. She finally stopped.

look up.

A white cloud was floating slowly in the sky, heading westwards. The cloud was filled with water vapor, and on it was most likely a water creature in the Yuanshen realm.

Qingyi withdrew her gaze, ignored it, and stayed there for a while. Her eyes were deep and no one knew what she was thinking. Suddenly, a beam of light rose up and flew towards the direction of the Jisai Kingdom.

After Qing Yi left.

The white cloud in the sky floated slowly for a while, and finally arrived at its destination. The Yuanshen Realm Water Clan above landed in front of the gate of Jilei Mountain.

……

Sacrifice to Saiguo.

"coming."

Sensing the rapidly approaching Qingyi's escape light, the Nine-headed Insect smiled and released his own breath to respond so that Qingyi could sense it.

But suddenly, as if he had realized something, a light flashed in the Nine-headed Insect's palm, and he took out the black scale. There was something flickering on the scale, and it turned out that there was new news.

"The engagement was set to take place in a month, why did you change it again? It's so much earlier than planned."

The Nine-headed Insect frowned. There would certainly be many guests at the engagement ceremony, and there was no telling what kinds of changes might arise. He thought for a long time and then sneered softly.

"Who cares? I just want to kidnap Ao Yin, not attack the West Sea Dragon Palace. I also invited Fu Hai to help me. What kind of accidents can happen? But we should act early, the sooner the better, to avoid any complications."

Sensing that the blue-clothed man's escape light had already reached the sky above the Jisai Kingdom and was about to fall, the Nine-headed Insect flipped its hand to retract its scales, put on a smile on its face, and went to meet him.

"Sister."

The Nine-Headed Insect called out affectionately.

"So we're going to the West Sea?"

Qing Yi's face was stern as he spoke.

"If Senior Sister has nothing else to do, the sooner the better." The Nine-headed Insect couldn't ask for more.

"Then let's go."

The man in blue stood on the clouds with no intention of landing. He flew towards the West Sea.

The nine-headed monster quickly followed.

Then he became confused again.

Why does it feel like this Fu Hai is more urgent than him?

……

West Sea.

Princess Halloween sat alone in the pavilion, looking a little unhappy.

On the first day, the little white dragon did not come.

Princess Halloween didn't care.

The next day, the little white dragon still didn't come.

Princess Halloween was a little confused and began to feel that something was wrong. She went to see the Dragon King Halloween and asked him to ask someone to find out some information.

No news came back.

Nothing seemed to have happened in the Dragon Palace, everything was the same as usual.

There was peace.

The Dragon King of the West Sea has issued a gag order.

No demon in the Dragon Palace was allowed to mention what happened in the two palaces that day. At the same time, the little white dragon was imprisoned and was not allowed to leave the palace before the engagement.

Of course, no information could be obtained from the Halloween Dragon King.

In the evening.

Princess Halloween was feeling a little uneasy, but since there was no news, she could only endure her temper.

Today is the third day.

As soon as the sky got light, Princess Halloween began waiting in the pavilion, but after a whole day, the little white dragon still didn't come.

Even though there was no news yet, Princess Halloween knew that something had definitely happened.

Something happened.
