Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

"Yun? Who is Yunhai to you?"

Extending a finger and tapping it on the table, Zhou Yan said casually.

"Your Majesty, Yunhai is my father."

Yun Zhe answered respectfully.

"interesting."

He sat up straight and looked at the guy with great interest.

"You know about how that old bastard hurt me back then, right?"

"I know," Yun Zhe said through gritted teeth.

"Then you still dare to come over?"

Zhou Yan's face instantly darkened, and a terrifying aura spread out, pressing down on the shoulders of everyone present.

"Bang bang bang~"

A series of loud noises rang out, and the people who were standing were all forced to their knees, their knees cracking as they fell to their deaths, their faces pale.

Despite this, not a single person made a sound.

"Your Majesty," Yun Zhe said, his face contorted in pain under the oppressive force on the ground.

"As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Yunhai is just my father. He has always looked down on me, and I have long been dissatisfied with him."

"Moreover, he is now nothing but a skeleton in a tomb, while Your Majesty has achieved the Purple Palace realm and is on the verge of success. A wise bird chooses a good tree, so why should a lowly person follow him?"

Hmm? This is supposed to be a very filial son?

Zhou Yan raised an eyebrow and said with amusement, "You've come to pledge allegiance to me. I remember your Yun Kingdom is subordinate to the Tianhe Sword Sect. Why don't you go to the Tianhe Sword Sect instead of coming to me?"

"Is he perhaps up to no good?"

Yun Zhe's expression immediately tightened, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, I would never have had such a thought."

"To be honest, I did consider contacting them before, but they completely ignored me and looked down on me."

He gave a bitter smile as he spoke.

"I had no choice but to come and seek Your Majesty's help."

Looking at Yun Zhe, Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"Alright, I'll take you as my subordinate."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhe's face lit up with joy, and he immediately kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The people behind them also kowtowed repeatedly.

After kowtowing three times, Yun Zhe stopped and pulled Yun Luo, who was behind him, to his side.

"Your Majesty, this is my younger sister, Yunluo. She is naturally beautiful and has extraordinary talent. I hope Your Majesty will take her in and let her serve you."

Pulled by Yun Zhe, Yun Luo immediately twisted and tried to break free, but at that moment, Zhou Yan's gaze fell upon her, and she instantly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her body stiffening and unable to move.

"You're really willing to do that!"

With a sneer, Zhou Yan raised his hand, and a stream of water pulled Yun Luo over, placing her in his palm.

Looking at the petite girl in his palm, he probed her with his spiritual sense and found out everything about her.

"Ninth level of Qi Refining, truly extraordinary talent."

Withdrawing his spiritual sense, Zhou Yan said, "Judging from his aptitude, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, yet he has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. It is a certainty that he will establish his foundation in the future, and he even has a chance to reach the Purple Mansion."

Moreover, she exuded a wonderful fragrance that was quite pleasant.

What do you want?

Seeing that Zhou Yan did not refuse, Yun Zhe's face immediately lit up with joy.

"What I seek is to ascend to the throne of the Yun Kingdom. I humbly request Your Majesty's assistance."

"What should I do?" he said slowly, propping his head up with one hand as he pondered.

"My elder brother Yun Che has always been favored by Yun Hai. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, my elder brother will inherit the throne. I urge Your Majesty to take action."

He quickly and respectfully replied.

"Killing him is easy," Zhou Yan said unhurriedly.

"But there's one more person I want to kill. Here's what I'll do: bring me Yunhai's head, and I'll help you ascend the throne. How about that?"

"Your Majesty, this, this..."

Yun Zhe was instantly drenched in sweat, and for a moment he started stuttering.

"What, you don't want to?" Zhou Yan clenched his fist, casually threw Yun Luo to the ground, and looked at Yun Zhe expressionlessly.

"No, Your Majesty, it is Yunhai. Although he is already seriously injured, I am no match for him."

His face was covered in cold sweat, and he quickly explained.

"No, I'm not asking you to kill him right now."

He reached out and took out a jade bottle from his robes, then sent it to Yun Zhe with the flow of water.

"Besides, I'm here too. You just need to find an opportunity to pour this bottle of poison around him."

"This poison is colorless and odorless; it was extracted from a Foundation Establishment stage scorpion. Wouldn't killing him be a piece of cake for you then?"

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Yun Zhe hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the jade bottle, putting it into his pocket.

"Alright, you can go now."

Seeing this, Zhou Yan waved his hand, and the scene before them changed, appearing directly outside the Water Mansion.

"Your Highness, are we...are we really going to poison the King?"

Zhao Ji asked hesitantly.

"The arrow is on the string and must be released, Zhao Ji," Yun Zhe sighed.

"Now, do you think we still have a choice?"

Zhao Ji remained silent. Seeing this, Yun Zhe shook his head and patted him on the shoulder.

"We've been to the Tianhe Sword Sect before, but they completely ignored us. If we don't find another way out now, how can Yun Kingdom withstand Xiang Kingdom's invasion?"

"This is all for the sake of the Yun Kingdom!"

"Your Highness, I understand," Zhao Ji said with shame.

"Alright, let's go back now," he said with a look of relief.

……

Inside the hall, Zhou Yan tilted his head, pondering the affairs of the Yun Kingdom. He was no longer interested in Yun Hai's death.

What truly attracted him was that the Cloud Kingdom was human territory, and the human race was now extremely powerful. The various demon races would not usually cause trouble for the human race, and the Dragon Palace was no exception.

Now that Ao Chi is around here, Yun Kingdom can start making some plans.

After thinking it over, he turned his gaze to Yun Luo on the ground, and with a flick of his finger, the heavy restraints on her body were released.

"Waaaaah~"

As soon as she was untied, the girl curled up on the ground and sobbed softly.

"Will you spare a wisp of your divine soul for me, or shall I do it myself?"

After glancing at her a few times, Zhou Yan said calmly that although he understood how she felt about being betrayed by her family, he was ultimately not the one who had caused the harm.

Moreover, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction at seeing his enemy's daughter suffer such a fate.

The sobbing stopped, and the girl looked up at the ferocious dragon in front of her. Despair instantly filled her heart, and two lines of clear tears involuntarily flowed from her eyes, falling to the ground.

After a few moments, she slowly said, "I can do it myself."

He then closed his eyes, let out a painful shout, and severed a wisp of his soul before opening his eyes and handing it to Zhou Yan with a pale face.

Upon receiving the divine soul, Zhou Yan casually refined it, and immediately felt a stronger connection between himself and the girl before him, able to control her life with a mere wave of his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he reached out again and pointed a finger at Yun Luo's brow.

The girl instinctively stepped back, but was still hit by his finger.

Immediately afterwards, a wonderful feeling rose up from within my body.

"I just blessed you. From now on, you won't need to use your magic all the time while you're in the Water Palace."
