Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 148 Shui Qing'er's letter seeking help: Qian Xunji wants to marry me!

"Hahaha--"

Yu Zhentian stroked his long, snow-white beard, his eyes narrowing into slits as he laughed.

This trip was incredibly fruitful.

He turned to look at Ah Yin, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

This trip was also thanks to Ah Yin's keen perception from the beginning, which allowed her to be the first to notice the abnormality of the light element, and to nourish Yu Xiaolie with her life force when absorbing the soul ring, ensuring that he could absorb it smoothly.

Otherwise, relying on just a few of them, they might very well miss that crucial noon.

Yu Xiaolie also risks exploding when absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring.

Ah Yin looked worried. She glanced at Yu Xiaolie and then slowly walked toward the huge corpse of the Sky Dragon.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaolie quickly raised his chin towards the dragon cub.

The dragon cub understood immediately, flapped its wings and took flight, and its second soul ring flashed.

Darkness - Sky-Shattering Strike!
A massive phantom of a black dragon swooped down and blasted a huge hole in the side of the mountain.

Then, it astonishingly grabbed the corpse of the Sky Dragon and threw it into the cave entrance.

Bang!
The ground shook again.

As the dragon cub vigorously flapped its wings, a gust of black wind arose, causing the ice and snow on the mountain peaks to collapse and fill the cave entrance.

Ah Yin waved her right hand toward the area where the Light Dragon was buried, and a shower of blue light spots fell like seeds.

In the blink of an eye, dense patches of Blue Silver Grass began to take root and sprout on the grave of the Sky Dragon.

Seeing the new generation revitalize this land with the help of its people, Ah Yin smiled faintly, her long, silver-blue hair fluttering gently in the wind.

Yu Xiaolie suddenly stood beside her without saying a word.

She secretly squeezed Yu Xiaolie's fingers, feeling a warm touch on her fingertips.

On the return carriage.

Yu Xiaolie leaned against the window, watching the scenery rushing past outside.

The dragon cub was curled up on Ah Yin's lap, dozing off, its round belly rising and falling with its breath.

The long journey, the round trip, has taken more than a month.

The group finally returned to the Blue Lightning Sect.

As soon as I arrived at the gate and got off the carriage, a family elder hurriedly came to greet me.

The old man's forehead was still covered in sweat, indicating that he had been waiting for a long time.

He shakily pulled a stack of letters from his robes, first greeting Yu Zhentian, then quickly went to Yu Xiaolie and said:

"Young Master! You're finally back! We've received several urgent letters from Tianshui City these past few days, all addressed to you."

"Tianshui City?"

Yu Xiaolie's heart skipped a beat as he took the stack of letters.

He recognized the neat handwriting on the envelope at a glance; it was from Shui Qing'er.

Ah Yin curiously leaned closer, a hint of doubt flashing in her blue eyes:
"This is……"

"Oh, an old friend of mine."

Yu Xiaolie explained softly, his fingers already opening the top letter as he spoke.

As the letter was unfolded, the handwriting was initially neat, but it became increasingly messy as it went on, with several places showing obvious signs of water stains spreading through it.

Yu Xiaolie quickly scanned the contents of the letter; it roughly stated:
"Xiao Lie, it's like seeing you in person. It's been almost ten years since you left Tianshui City. I wonder how you've been?"

"Xiao Lie, today the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall branch in Tianshui City suddenly came to visit, saying that the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, is looking for marriage partners, and he was so excited that he wanted to register me..."

“Xiao Lie, you haven’t been back to Tianshui City for a long time. I imagine you must be very busy. The Platinum Bishop came again today, saying that I have passed the Spirit Hall’s selection process and need to go to Spirit City to see the Pope. I don’t want to go…”

“Xiao Lie… I have no choice but to ask for your help. Granny Shui initially refused, but the bishop coaxed and threatened her, saying it could bring endless glory to the family. This morning I overheard that Granny Shui has relented…”

"Xiao Lie... come find me in Tianshui City quickly, I don't want to go to the Spirit Hall to see some Pope..."

The letter was filled with corrections and rewrites, seemingly indicating that the writer had countless things to say but didn't know how to express them.

The last letter ended with only one sentence:
"Xiao Lie... If you receive this letter, if you can, please come find me. I don't know how much longer I can hold on, but I just want to see you one last time."

The last line, signed in Shui Qing'er's elegant handwriting, clearly reads: "Shui Qing'er".

Yu Xiaolie's fingers tightened unconsciously, and the letter made a slight "rustling" sound.

Immediately, the image of Shui Qing'er, always dressed in a light blue dress, appeared in his mind, looking charming and lovely.

No!

How could Shui Qing'er just marry a complete stranger like this!
Moreover! That person was none other than Qian Xunji!

"what happened?"

Ah Yin keenly sensed Yu Xiaolie's emotional change, and her intuition told her that something was amiss, so she asked softly.

Yu Xiaolie handed her the letter, his brows already furrowed: "I have to go to Tianshui City."

Ah Yin quickly scanned the letter, a complex expression initially flashing in her blue eyes, but it quickly turned into determination as she said:
"I will go with you."

"Okay, let's go now."

Yu Xiaolie turned around to get the horse, but was stopped by his great-grandfather Yu Zhentian.

He leaned closer and mysteriously handed Yu Xiaolie a token, saying, "Take this; it might come in handy at a crucial moment."

Yu Xiaolie took it and saw that the token was purplish-black all over, with a ferocious dragon head relief on the front. The dragon's eyes were inlaid with lightning-patterned crystals that changed color with the light. It was clearly the elder token of the Blue Lightning Sect!
"Grandpa, this..."

Yu Zhentian waved his hand, his snow-white beard twitching slightly, and said:
"Keep it. Words are no proof. We'll reveal our identity when the time comes. Our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is, after all, one of the three major clans on the Douluo Continent."

Yu Zhentian truly wanted to protect Yu Xiaolie; such a prodigy must not be allowed to perish outside.

However, given Yu Zhentian's status and position, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go out with her; he couldn't always be following behind Yu Xiaolie.

But this token is enough to demonstrate Yu Xiaolie's important position in the Blue Lightning Sect.

Daring to injure Yu Xiaolie is to go against Yu Zhentian and the thousands of disciples of the Blue Lightning Sect.

A quarter of an hour later, a carriage bearing the emblem of a blue lightning tyrannosaurus once again drove out of the sect.

Ah Yin leaned against the window, watching the sect's silhouette gradually recede into the distance, and softly asked:

"Is that water maiden... very important to you?"

Yu Xiaolie was silent for a moment, then said, "A few years ago, when I was traveling, I stayed at her house for half a year, and she helped me..."

His voice gradually lowered, and he didn't say anything more.

Ah Yin stared at Yu Xiaolie, then suddenly reached out and covered the back of his hand with a complicated expression, but said nothing.

……

The horse-drawn carriage traveled day and night, crossing plains and traversing mountains.

Finally, several days later.

When the familiar outline of the city wall appeared on the horizon, Yu Xiaolie unconsciously sat up straight.

Tianshui City remains as I remember it, with towering city walls surrounded by a moat and Tianshui City's flags flying atop the city towers.

After entering the city, the carriage traveled quickly and finally stopped in front of the Phoenix Clan's residence.

At this moment, the vermilion gate was tightly closed, and two disciples dressed in blue and white robes stood at the entrance.

Yu Xiaolie led A Yin off the carriage and headed towards the mansion.

When the two gatekeepers saw the stranger approaching, one of them immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Yu Xiaolie was not annoyed, and immediately took out a white jade token from his pocket.

The token was engraved with a phoenix spreading its wings, and the words "Shui Jing Xin" were clearly engraved on the back.

It was the token given to him by Elder Shui Jingxin of the Tianshui Phoenix Clan.

"Elder Shui Jingxin's token?!"

Upon seeing the token, the two disciples' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly bowed in respect.

"I was unaware of your arrival, esteemed guest! I have failed to greet you properly!"

Yu Xiaolie put away the token and crossed the front yard with practiced ease.

Ah Yin followed closely behind, looking completely bewildered. She wondered to herself: Is Yu Xiaolie's status in the Tianshui Phoenix Clan really that high?

Yu Xiaolie was very familiar with every brick and tile here, and nothing had changed from before. He went straight to the main hall.

Unexpectedly, as they turned a corner, they bumped into a group of people.

Leading the group was an elderly woman leaning on a phoenix-headed cane; it was none other than the long-absent Granny Shui Jingxin.

Standing next to her was a middle-aged man dressed in a white and gold robe.

Judging from his attire, he was wearing the Spirit Hall badge on his chest, so he should be the Platinum Bishop that Shui Qing'er mentioned in her letter.

Yu Xiaolie immediately moved Ah Yin slightly to the side.

Since there are people from the Spirit Hall around, it's best not to alert them.

"..."

"If this matter succeeds, I will surely be promoted and ennobled. Your Tianshui Phoenix Clan will definitely prosper as a result. Elder Shui, such a wonderful match is truly cause for celebration! But what about Miss Shui Qing'er..."

The Platinum Bishop was speaking with great enthusiasm.

Grandma Water sighed and said, "Alas, I will try to persuade her again. Please, Bishop, be patient and wait a little longer."

The two of them continued walking forward.

Suddenly, Grandma Shui's cane clattered to the ground, her body froze on the spot, and her old eyes widened in shock.

Yu... Yu Xiaolie!
