I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

Suddenly, the monkey leaped up a huge rock and gazed into the distance at the churning sea of ​​clouds and the setting sun.

The setting sun shone on the monkey's face, and its golden fur danced in the wind, making its face appear more serious than ever before.

Without turning its head, the monkey suddenly spoke, its tone unusually serious.

"Junior brother, you've gifted me weapons and treasures. Does this mean our brotherhood... is coming to an end?"

"These past few days, the Patriarch has taught me the Seventy-Two Transformations, and the implication is that there's nothing more he can teach me!"

Ning Chen was startled, but remained silent.

He walked over to his senior brother, and the two of them stood side by side.

Looking down at the vast sea of ​​clouds, he was filled with emotion.

After a long silence, Ning Chen spoke.

"Senior brother, we entered the sect on the same day. You have made rapid progress ahead, while I, your junior brother, am chasing after you. I dare not slack off for even a day. Senior brother may enter the Chaotic Copper Furnace first, and I, your junior brother, will follow shortly after!"

"Once we're fellow disciples, always we're brothers! The bond between us will never be severed! Though the world is vast, we'll meet again someday. Go forth and explore; if you need my help someday, I'll be there immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the seriousness in Sun Wukong's eyes instantly vanished.

He grinned, revealing a few sharp teeth, and the slight melancholy he had just shown vanished instantly.

The monkey regained his fearless and spirited demeanor, and he was filled with pride, pointing out the flaws in the world!

"Haha! Good! With your words of comfort, junior brother, I feel much more at ease! No matter what dangers lie ahead, I'll go and brave them!"

"Once I've led the kids and made a name for myself, then my junior brother can become the carefree king!"

Sun Wukong somersaulted into the air and regained his grip on the golden cudgel.

He excitedly twirled in the air, the shadows of his stick stirring up the clouds and mist.

Watching the Monkey King soar through the clouds, Ning Chen's worries finally subsided, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

The sound of monkeys came from the air.

"Junior brother, don't forget to go to the West Sea Dragon Palace. Your senior brother is here on Fangcun Mountain, waiting for your return!"

Ning Chen smiled and shook his head; his senior brother was still concerned about his marriage.

Having entrusted the magic weapon to Monkey King, Ning Chen's worries were over. He made a hand seal and unleashed the Golden Light Leap, transforming into a streak of light and heading straight for the Western Sea.

After advancing to the Dao Integration Realm, Ning Chen discovered that the energy consumption of casting spells had decreased significantly. He felt as if he were part of the world, able to freely control the omnipresent spiritual energy and utilize the wind and clouds.

With just one burst of golden light, Ning Chen flew a full five hundred miles without even needing to stop and rest.

This time, Ning Chen arrived at the West Sea coast in just one day.

He switched to water escape techniques and plunged directly into the sea.

The West Sea Dragon Palace, with its crystal palace, remains as magnificent as ever.

The Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Run, along with his third son, Ao Lie, personally greeted them at the palace gate.

"Nephew Ning's arrival is an honor to the Old Dragon King! Please, please come in!"

The old Dragon King was all smiles, and his attitude was even more enthusiastic than before.

Ao Lie, dressed in a silver-white brocade robe, looked at Ning Chen with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Both of their attitudes had changed, which puzzled Ning Chen, but he didn't think much of it and returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King is too kind. How has His Highness the Crown Prince been lately?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ning Chen went to the quiet room where he and Xiaolongnu Ao Xue were cultivating, just like before.

Ao Xue was already waiting at the door. Today, she was wearing a light pink palace dress, which made her pretty face look even more beautiful and exquisite.

However, today, Xiaolongnu's bright eyes were not as shy as usual, and she dared not look at Ning Chen.

She would steal glances at Ning Chen's handsome face every now and then, his long eyelashes fluttering, and his cheeks slightly flushed...

Ning Chen wondered to himself, "What's wrong with this family of dragons today?"

The two sat cross-legged facing each other, practicing their dual cultivation techniques.

The cool and gentle essence of the dragon spirit of Xiaolongnu merged and flowed with the even more magnificent and vast magical power within Ning Chen's body after breaking through a thousand years of cultivation.

Compared to their first time cultivating together, Ning Chen's cultivation and magical power have advanced by leaps and bounds. He can now easily suppress the ice and fire bloodline within Xiaolongnu's body, and even handle it with some ease.

The two figures, in harmony, created a still room where water rippled and the glow of sunset was faintly visible...

Ning Chen's physical strength and physique are constantly improving!

He felt as if he were in a fairyland, and for a moment he forgot the passage of time.

He and Xiaolongnu cultivated together several times, and their bodies were already intertwined!

After an unknown amount of time, Ao Xue finished her practice and slowly withdrew. Unlike usual, she did not bow her head shyly and leave hastily.

She lowered her head slightly and bowed solemnly to Ning Chen.

"Young Master Ning..."

Xiaolongnu's voice was soft and warm.

"Young Master stood up for that fox demon girl, using his meager strength to fight against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. This matter has already spread throughout the Scaled Clan of the Four Seas. Young Master pleaded for the common cultivators of the demon race. Such magnanimity and courage are truly admirable. This is a great matter that will benefit future generations. Young Master is truly righteous!"

Little Dragon Girl raised her eyes, her clear eyes shimmering with tears, filled with sincere admiration.

Ning Chen then suddenly realized what was going on.

The strange expressions of the Old Dragon King and Ao Lie at that time, as well as Ao Xue's many abnormalities today, are all because of this matter!

Despite her shyness, Ao Xue mustered her courage and spoke.

"Young master, you've had a long journey. Xue'er will see you out..."

As soon as the two stepped out of the quiet room, the hearty laughter of Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, rang out.

"My dear son-in-law... oh no, my dear nephew! Haha, my dear nephew, you are truly a hero of our time! You swiftly avenge wrongs and defy the wrath of heaven, speaking out for the injustice done to my demon race!"

"If you ever need anything in the future, my dear nephew, just ask! The Dragon Palace of the West Sea will certainly do its utmost to help!"

The old Dragon King patted his chest, looking at Ning Chen with the same satisfaction he would show his son-in-law.

Ning Chenjun's face flushed slightly. Could it be that the old dragon king was planning to arrest him and force him into marriage today?

At this point, Ning Chen suddenly remembered something.

His gaze drifted toward Ao Lie, the little white dragon who stood respectfully to the side.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon King!"

Ning Chen cupped his hands in greeting and then made his request.

"I do have a favor to ask of you!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the old Dragon King's eyes, then he stroked his whiskers and chuckled.

"No problem, as long as it's within my power, my dear nephew, just ask for it. You can have either people or dragons! Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu Ao Xue glared at her disrespectful father, then secretly glanced at Ning Chen.

Her pretty little face was already as red as coral from the seabed, delicate and alluring.

"I have heard that His Highness the Third Prince is highly skilled in cultivation. I would like to humbly request that His Highness cultivate with me for some time and exchange ideas. I hope that Your Majesty and His Highness will grant my request."

Ok?

The old Dragon King was extremely surprised. He had thought that Ning Chen wanted his youngest daughter, but he never expected that he wanted his third son.

this......

Could it be that this Daoist Ning is gay?

Oh dear, this is very bad. Old Long spoke too confidently just now. What if this Daoist Ning really wants my third son? How am I supposed to deal with that?

Ao Xue also widened her beautiful eyes.

what?

Do you want my third brother but not me?

This won't do!

Although Xiaolongnu appears gentle, she is actually very strong-willed and serious.

If someone cultivates with me, they're mine now, and I need to keep a close eye on them!

Ao Xue bit her red lips and whispered her self-recommendation.

"Ao Xue also wants to spar with Third Brother and Young Master Ning in cultivation..."
