Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 496: Convincing people with reason
With this in mind, the Dragon Queen could no longer contain herself and began searching among the people in the Celestial Palace.

Soon, her gaze sharpened, and her amethyst-like eyes locked onto a handsome, ethereal young man in a blue robe at the back of the crowd.

From his appearance, the boy looked no different from a human, and he did not have any alien features such as dragon horns or scales.

But for some reason, Princess Wanlong's gaze was inexplicably drawn to him.

In a daze, I even saw a bit of the shadow of the ancient emperor of Wanlong in him!

This is very strange.

Because this young man was completely different from Wanlong Ancient Emperor in terms of physique, appearance, temperament, and aura.

There is only one explanation for why the Dragon Girl could see her father through him: it was because of his bloodline!
In this world where true dragons do not exist, if asked which dragon species' bloodline is closest to that of a true dragon, the ancient races and all ancient beings would likely have only one answer—

Wanlong Ancient Emperor!

However, Wanlong Ancient Emperor was, after all, a king of a clan, while this young man's aura was weak, even weaker than his own.

If she weren't of exceptional bloodline, how could she have hallucinated her father?

"Absolutely right!"

"This feeling must be the true dragon son that Kunlun mentioned!"

The Dragon Girl couldn't help but clench her fists, a surge of overwhelming excitement welling up inside her.

Just as she calmed herself down, put on a kind smile, and was about to step forward to test the waters, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

"Sister Dragon Girl..."

A slightly amused voice reached my ears.

The dragon girl frowned subconsciously, displeased with the person blocking her way.

But then she realized who it was, and immediately relaxed her brows, forcing a smile as she said:

"So it's Sister Ziyue. What brings you here?"

"What's the matter?"

Ji Ziyue raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and said, "Sister, what you said is too strange. Didn't you just ask if the Immortal Palace had anything else to discuss with the Myriad Dragon Nest?"

“My master is of noble status. If he were to discuss this with my sister personally, it would be seen as bullying the younger one.”

"Therefore, in this matter, it is necessary for us juniors to step forward so that we can act legitimately and avoid giving others grounds for criticism..."

"That's right!" Ye Fan walked over, blocking the Dragon Girl's path, and said with a smile, "That's what I was thinking too. If the Dragon Princess doesn't mind, how about... we go inside and have a chat?"

now?
Princess Wanlong glanced at the young man with some resentment.

After a moment's thought, she forced a smile and said, "What you two say is absolutely right!"

"In that case, please follow me!"

After saying that, she winked at Qianlun Dasheng behind her.

The latter understood and immediately led everyone deep into the dragon's lair, arriving in front of a magnificent and ancient palace.

As the former home of the Purple Dragon Clan, the Dragon Nest was once a thriving place. In the depths of the Dragon Nest, besides the royal family, there are also many long-sealed palaces and dragon palaces.

Now that the Dragon Saints have emerged, it is natural that some of them must be unsealed to serve as their future residences.

The palace that the people from the Immortal Palace are now entering is one of the palaces that Emperor Wanlong gave to his daughter back then.

From the outside, the palace was magnificent and dazzling. Its various decorations would be considered rare treasures that could cause bloodshed in the outside world today.

But here, it's everywhere, extremely commonplace.

Tu Fei followed behind Ye Fan, looking at the luxurious scene around him, and couldn't help but marvel.

"If I'm not mistaken, isn't that bead on the wall a dragon bead?"

"Huh, it really does seem so!"

"The Dragon Pearl..."

Tu Fei sighed, "Even a powerful dragon king like the Azure Dragon King keeps it in his treasure vault, but here it's just an ornament."

"You ignorant bumpkin!" Black Emperor rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "What kind of rotten sweet potato or stinky bird egg is Azure Dragon King? This is the Nest of Ten Thousand Dragons!"

"Putting aside everything else, just look at those dragons from earlier; each of them possessed strength above that of a saint."

"It's only because that old... cough cough, His Majesty the Immortal Emperor is in charge that they treat you with such courtesy. Otherwise, they would be lucky if they didn't just crush you to death!"

Tu Fei's face flushed red, and he immediately retorted angrily, "Do you need to tell me? Do you think I don't know that?!"

Black Emperor arrogantly turned his head away, completely disdaining to argue with Tu Fei.

This behavior further angered Tu Fei. If the situation hadn't prevented it, the man and the dog would probably have started arguing and fighting again.

"and many more!"

Xiao Yan suddenly transmitted his voice, as if he had discovered something strange, and commented with a peculiar expression:
"Aren't they dragons? Why are they decorating their palace with dragon pearls?"

"How is this any different from the human bone lamps and human skin drums of our race?"

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and after exchanging bewildered glances, their expressions turned strange.

"Perhaps it's from ancient times, no, it's a custom of the dragon race..."

"Didn't the Azure Dragon King also treasure the Dragon Pearl?"

"Hmm...that makes sense!"

The crowd whispered among themselves and communicated telepathically. Before long, they arrived at a magnificent hall.

Princess Wanlong turned around gracefully and stood at the head of the hall. She first glanced at the people of the Immortal Palace without making a sound, and after confirming that the blue-robed youth had also followed, she smiled sweetly but gracefully.

"Please!" Everyone took their seats in turn.

Princess Wanlong waved her hand, and immediately four young dragons, two men and two women, stepped forward to pour tea and water for everyone.

Without a doubt, the tea served at Wanlong Nest was no ordinary tea. Although it couldn't compare to the various immortal teas in Zhutian City, it was superior in that it was rich in dragon energy, suggesting that it was a spiritual seed that had grown under the nourishment of dragon energy.

“Good tea!”

After everyone tasted it, they all showed their admiration.

Ye Fan's heart stirred, and he sensed the restlessness of the True Dragon Immortal Medicine in the Bitter Sea. So he released it and let it come close to the tea, sticking out its little head to lick it.

"The Elixir of Immortality for True Dragons!"

Upon seeing the golden dragon on Ye Fan's shoulder, Princess Wanlong's gaze sharpened, and a sense of astonishment welled up within her.

Ye Fan noticed her unusual gaze and immediately smiled slightly: "The divine medicine has a spirit and is willing to follow me. There shouldn't be any problem with that, right?"

"...Of course not!"

The Dragon Queen came to her senses, and a complex expression mixed with nostalgia appeared on her pretty face.

"I'm just feeling a bit sentimental!"

"He once followed my father in ancient times, but I never expected that he would follow you now!"

After a moment of reflection, she chuckled and said, "Let him drink it. This tea is a specialty of Wanlong Nest. It has the power to accelerate the cultivation of dragons and can also help him digest what he just obtained."

It was obvious that the Dragon Queen had seen through the current state of the True Dragon Immortal Elixir and knew that Ye Fan had fed it many precious things in order to win it over.

However, Ye Fan guessed that the Dragon Girl probably didn't know what he had taken, otherwise she would never be so calm and composed.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue exchanged a glance and smiled:
"Your Highness, now that the tea is finished, shouldn't we get down to business?"

"Right on my mind!"

The Dragon Empress's expression turned serious: "May I ask what brings you all to my Ten Thousand Dragon Nest?"

"It's very simple: cooperation and transactions."

Ye Fan chuckled and said, "There are many things that the Immortal Palace needs in the Myriad Dragon Nest. If you are willing to part with them, we can establish a long-term cooperation with the Immortal Palace. It would be a win-win situation for both sides, and we would get what we need. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The things the celestial palace needs...

The dragon girl raised an eyebrow, her expression unchanged, and asked, "For example?"

Ye Fan simply said, "Divine source, dragon energy, this unknown spiritual tea, and various rare treasures from the ancient era."

The dragon girl frowned: "...That's all?"

"if not?"

Ye Fan teased, "What did you think it was, dragon blood and dragon flesh?"

The Dragon Girl was speechless for a moment. After frowning and pondering for a while, she shook her head and said, "Your Highness, if I may be so bold, I do not see what significance this transaction has for the Immortal Palace, nor do I see what benefit it brings to my Myriad Dragon Nest."

In her view, the Celestial Palace has the Celestial Emperor in charge, which is enough to suppress the world. If she wants something, she can take it herself. Why should she lower herself to cooperate with their Ten Thousand Dragon Nest?

As for the Purple Dragon Clan, they had already considered what would happen after their revival before they even went into slumber.

The Dragon Nest already has sufficient resources to be self-sufficient, requiring no external assistance.

Hearing the Dragon Girl's blunt words, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh.

Admittedly, the powerful figures in the Immortal Palace are indeed capable of suppressing the world.

The problem is that these powerful figures, whether it's Lin Yu or Fairy Yaochi, were all temporarily summoned by Ye Fan and cannot stay in the world of Shrouding the Heavens for long.

The only true powerhouse belonging to the Celestial Palace is the Holy Prince, a peak second-level Celestial...

Of course, Ye Fan couldn't tell the Dragon Girl these things.

After a moment's thought, he said leisurely, "This brings us to the concepts of sustainable development and the ecosystem!"

"Sustainable development? Ecosystem?"

The dragon girl looked puzzled.

Ye Fan didn't keep her in suspense and immediately explained in a way she could understand.

After listening, the Dragon Girl seemed to understand something and nodded, saying, "The Immortal Prince is indeed very wise!"

"Indeed, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest is in the hands of humans, but under the command of our dragon race, it is naturally very different. If the Immortal Palace wants to maximize the development of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, it does need the help of our race."

Ji Ziyue sighed and said, "As for my master, he is of a detached nature and his whereabouts are unpredictable. If he weren't interested in the Yin-Yang dual cultivation of humans and demons, he probably wouldn't have come with us..."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Girl recalled her long-lost father and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of empathy.

She nodded and said, "The emperor is the supreme being of a race, and his thoughts and ideas are beyond our comprehension."

Ye Fan laughed and said, "Moreover, the Immortal Palace has only recently been established and is already short-handed. If we seize the Myriad Dragon Nest, who will be left to oversee its development?"

The dragon maiden gave him a deep look: "So, the Celestial Palace wants to incorporate my race?"

"It's not about incorporation, it's about cooperation."

Ye Fan corrected him, then said leisurely, "The present era is completely different from the ancient times. My Immortal Palace advocates order and persuades people with reason. How could we do such an unreasonable thing?"

Can we persuade people with reason?
The people in the Celestial Palace looked at each other, all with strange expressions.

The Dragon Girl raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then tentatively asked:

"What if...we are unwilling to cooperate?"

"No way." Ye Fan grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said with a bright smile, "Because our reasoning is truly convincing!"
