The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 86 Past Events

In the small pavilion.

"Miss, the news came from the Dragon Palace that the engagement arrangements are already being prepared and you can enter the palace immediately." said Lady Bang.

"This is what the Dragon Queen wants. The procession to lead you into the palace is already outside the gate, led by the chief of the guards in the Dragon Queen's palace. The Lord is currently receiving guests, so he has no time to come and see you. Before we part, the Lord asked me to convey that he has a few words for you."

"What did father say?" Princess Halloween's face was solemn.

"My Lord said that the Dragon Palace was so eager to let you enter the palace without any prior warning. I'm afraid you have really angered the Dragon Concubine. After entering the palace, he will not be by your side. You must remember to be careful with your words and not act recklessly like you did this time. You were really a bit reckless this time."

Princess Halloween remained silent. How could she not know that this was a risky move? But now quite some time had passed and the Nine-headed Insect might recover from its injuries at any time and come back again. Apart from the Dragon Palace, where else in the West Sea could really defend against the Nine-headed Insect?

"The master also said that taking risks is only temporary and should only be done when it is absolutely necessary. Only with stability can you ensure a peaceful life. I'm afraid that you will not be allowed out easily after you go to the Dragon Palace. You have already offended the Dragon Concubine severely, and the friendship we had in the past is definitely gone. You can temporarily move closer to the Dragon Queen, but this is also a temporary measure. In the end, you still have to rely on yourself."

"Princess!" At the last moment, Lady Bang changed her name back to that, and bowed deeply. "Take care!"

Princess Halloween also returned the greeting, which was rare.

"Sister Bangniang, I am an unfilial daughter. From now on, Daddy will rely on you to take care of him."

"Miss, they are in a hurry, so go now. The Lord has given Benboerba and Babolben to you as a dowry. It will also be a helper in the Dragon Palace."

Lady Bang said finally.

Princess Halloween nodded, took a deep breath, and then strode out, not forgetting to take Ding Lin with her.

Outside the gate.

The sedan chair pulled by five sea snakes had been waiting for a long time. Apart from this necessary sedan chair, neither the accompanying palace servants nor the standards of etiquette were as good as the last time she was sent back to Bibotan. This in itself represented an attitude.

"Young Master, please."

The accompanying Crab General said, with no expression on his face.

Princess Halloween turned around for the last time to take a look at her pale-haired old father.

She nodded.

When it was time to leave, there was not even time to say a word.

The sedan chair was lifted up.

In a moment, it disappeared from sight.

……

West Sea.

The seabed tens of thousands of feet deep is deep and cold, and countless aquatic creatures are swimming silently there.

The long period of darkness has caused their vision to fade, but their sense of touch and hearing have become more sensitive.

Suddenly, the school of fish seemed to sense something and scattered in panic.

Two beams of light descended from the sky and landed directly on the seabed, stirring up a turbulent undercurrent, and then flew past without hesitation.

Like a shooting star.

……

Three days later.

East China Sea.

"It's lighter, better than the last one, but still a little light." The stone monkey waved his hands, looking dissatisfied. "Old neighbor, I finally asked you for a favor, you can't just use these junks to deal with me."

On the ground of the Crystal Palace, a large knife shining with cold light and a steel fork as black as ink were both lying silently.

Impatience flashed in the eyes of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

I didn't want to cause any trouble.

I planned to find a random weapon to get rid of this monkey.

But I didn't expect that although he was just a beggar, he would be so picky and act so arrogant.

"This steel fork is already the best weapon in the palace. If the Monkey King is still not satisfied, there will be no more."

The Dragon King Road of the East China Sea.

Considering that he rules the East China Sea and is the leader of the four Dragon Kings, even in the entire Heavenly Palace, there are not many people whose status is higher than his. So why should he be polite to a monkey?

"Old neighbor, your words are really petty. My eldest brother, the Bull Demon King, was able to obtain a nearly 70,000-jin weapon from a dragon king at the bottom of a pond. How could you, in such a large East China Sea, not be able to produce a weapon suitable for me? You are clearly just trying to please me."

The stone monkey smoothed his hair and said that he was a terrestrial species after all, and he always felt a little uncomfortable in this deep sea.

The Dragon King of the East Sea laughed angrily, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he was about to explode. He didn't want trouble, but if trouble had to come to him, he didn't mind solving it.

If he were on land, he would still be a little afraid of the stone monkey, but now he was in the sea. With the vision of the Dragon King of the East Sea, he could naturally see that the monkey was not used to the underwater.
He probably doesn't even need to do it himself, the generals from the East China Sea can just rush forward and take care of the monkey.

As for the monkey's foot...

He, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, is a first-rank god in the Heavenly Court, and even has the title of the chief of the Four Dragon Kings, which makes his status even higher. With this status, and it was this monkey who went too far first, no one could find any fault with him when he took action.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea laughed, turned around, sat high on the main seat, looked around with disdain, slowly picked up the wine glass, and took another sip.

"What does the Monkey King mean?"

There was no trace of smile on the Dragon King of Longhai's face.

"Well, it's too slow to take out the weapons one by one. Why don't you open the treasure house and let me pick them carefully. I can always find a suitable one." said the stone monkey.

I don't know if he really has a pure heart, or if he has discovered some clues from his years of experience and is therefore fearless.

"it is good."

The Dragon King of the East Sea nodded slowly and was about to attack.

"Your Majesty."

At this moment, Prime Minister Turtle suddenly entered the hall. He was carrying a heavy turtle shell on his back, but his movements were light and swift. He leaned close to the ear of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and whispered a few words.

The Dragon King of the East Sea looked at Sun Wukong again, his face still cloudy, but the words on his lips changed.

"But most of the weapons in my treasury are similar to this sword, and it's troublesome to choose. So, I have a magic needle in my water palace, which was left by Dayu when he controlled the flood. Monkey King, you can try it. If you can lift it and use it smoothly, I will give it to you, and it can be regarded as a gift to complete our friendship."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea spoke as if he was reading from a script.

"The old neighbor took this seriously."

The Monkey King's eyes lit up.

"Of course." The Dragon King of the East China Sea stroked his beard.

Next to the eye of the East China Sea, there is a huge stick supporting the sky. The stone monkey took one look at it and could not take his eyes away, as if this thing was destined for him. As if by chance, he recited a mantra and the golden cudgel shrank rapidly.

The stone monkey caught it.

The sea eye lost its support, and suddenly, the Crystal Palace began to shake, and with it, the entire East China Sea began to shake.

Seeing Sun Wukong being so rude.

The East Sea Dragon King's eyes became more and more unhappy. He stood firmly in place, pinched his fingers to stabilize the sea eye, and the turmoil soon subsided.

"Old neighbor, now that I have weapons, can you give me a set of armor?"

The stone monkey is still pressing forward.

The Dragon King of the East Sea narrowed his eyes, but thinking of the great benefits he had just obtained, he still agreed.

"Armor?" The Dragon King of the East Sea said, "I can give it to you, but Monkey King, this is the first time, not the third time. Take the armor and return to your Flower-Fruit Mountain as soon as possible. Do not make any more requests."

"It's natural, natural..."

Even though the stone monkey was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed by these impolite words.

"Monkey King, please take a rest first. I will go and prepare it for you."

After the Dragon King of the East China Sea finished speaking, he ignored the stone monkey and turned to leave, with Prime Minister Turtle following him.

"This monkey is really ignorant."

After walking some distance away, Prime Minister Turtle complained in a low voice.

"It has always been like this. Fortunately, this time it has nothing to do with us."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea had a blank expression on his face, as if he was thinking of some bad memories.

"This golden cudgel did not originally belong to my East Sea. Now I am just giving it away on my behalf. I can get a pill of 'Enlightenment Pill' and let another golden immortal appear in the world. This is really worth it."

"That's what the prince said."

Prime Minister Turtle nodded.

"But she is still the same as before, she hasn't changed. She dotes on everything around her and protects it to the utmost."

"Lingzhuzi was like this back then, and it seems that the stone monkey here is the same now."

"Just wait and see. In the future, this stone monkey will definitely cause disasters just like Nezha did before. But this time, it has nothing to do with us. Sigh..." Suddenly, the East China Sea Dragon King sighed, and the corners of his mouth turned bitter. Pain flashed across his face. "Poor Bing'er."

"The Third Prince suffered misfortunes all those years ago were unprovoked." Prime Minister Turtle also sighed.

"It was the same back then. A pill of 'Enlightenment' won me the peace of mind of Sihai. Moang also worked hard and broke through the Golden Immortal bottleneck in one go. It was a worthwhile deal, but the price was my son, my Bing'er..."

The Dragon King of the East Sea closed his eyes, suppressed his sadness, and stopped thinking about it. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had returned to normal.

"Old Turtle, go and ring the bell and call my three brothers over. We still need to discuss this 'Enlightenment Pill'. Oh, and ask them to bring their armor as well."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea ordered.

"Yes."

Prime Minister Turtle took the order and withdrew.

……

West Sea.

The main door was not open, only a side door was opened in a corner.

Princess Halloween entered in a sedan chair.

The palace gates were then closed.

In the bedroom, the Dragon King of the West Sea and the Dragon Queen sat opposite each other across a desk.

"You really did a bad job this time." The Dragon King of the West Sea had a blank expression. "After all, there are still a few old guys behind the Dragon Concubine. You offended her like this... Never mind. You already know all this. Now that things have come to this, I don't want to say more."

"Ao Yin is entering the palace today. This is also a troublesome thing. You should keep an eye on her. At least let me have some peace and quiet for a while. Don't cause any more trouble..."

As the Dragon King of the West Sea spoke, his expression suddenly changed. He stood up, a flash of light appeared in his palm, and a small bell appeared. He walked a few steps to the side, avoiding the Dragon Queen, and put the bell to his ear, listening carefully.

"Something happened again?"

the Dragon Queen asked.

"Don't worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty."

After the Dragon King of the West Sea finished speaking, he turned around and hurried out of the hall.

"Where are you going?"

The Dragon Queen asked, standing up.

"Brother has something important to gather us for. I need to go to the East China Sea."

"In a few days, Lie'er's engagement party will be held. If you go to the East China Sea now..." the Dragon Queen said anxiously.

"Women, you can't tell priorities!" The Dragon King of the West Sea paused for a moment. "The evil creature's engagement is just a small matter, you can just take care of it, it's not a big deal!"

"I'm leaving!"

The attendants have prepared the carriage.

The Dragon King of the West Sea got on the chariot, and nine sea snakes with horns on their foreheads pulled the chariot out of the water.

Then he went straight to the East China Sea.

……

same moment.

Qingyi and Jiu Tou Chong also slowed down their escape.

In the field of vision, a point of light suddenly jumped out from the seemingly eternal darkness.

Very small at first.

As the distance got closer, the light became brighter and brighter, and slowly, the outline of a crystal palace appeared.
