Chapter 1807 - 1803: Azure Dragon Carriage, Dragon Lady Ao Shu (First Update)
Chapter 1807: Chapter 1803: Azure Dragon Carriage, Dragon Lady Ao Shu (First Update)
The Great Elder of the Dragon Clan remained silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "Issue a decree immediately: no one is allowed to reveal any information about Xue An to the little princess. Anyone who disobeys will be punished at the Dragon Punishment Platform!"
"Yes!"
With the order given, the Dragon Ancestral Land was thrown into chaos.
"What? The little princess has emerged from seclusion? Why now, of all times? Isn’t this just adding to the chaos?" exclaimed a giant dragon, entirely pitch black.
"Who can say? And I have a feeling this isn’t so simple. Our princess might already know the news by now!" a nearby Azure Dragon said, frowning deeply.
"That damn Xue An, plundering our treasures was one thing, but to also make our little princess fall deeply for him, it’s truly a sin!" lamented a Yellow Dragon with extreme indignation.
"Let’s not dwell on useless things. Since the little princess has broken out from the secret realm, it won’t be long before she’s back. We should think about how to keep this from her! After all... the Dragon Punishment Platform is not to be trifled with!"
At the mention of the Dragon Punishment Platform, all the giant dragons present shivered, their eyes showing fear.
Legend has it that the platform harbors all manner of punishments passed down since ancient times, specifically to punish erring dragons.
One dragon once said that even if you don’t die on the Dragon Punishment Platform, you’d shed a layer of scales.
This speaks to the terrifying nature of the platform, second only to the Dragon Execution Platform in terms of deterrence.
"That cursed Xue Bapi!" many dragons cursed through gritted teeth, then dispersed with heavy hearts.
They knew the real test was about to arrive.
As the dragons trembled with fear, in the vast emptiness millions of miles away from the Dragon Ancestral Land, there spread an ocean of star dust.
This was the remnant left after countless stars were violently shattered, its vastness was breathtaking.
Entering it often leads to becoming lost and eventually dying of entrapment.
Thus, it became a forbidden zone for all living creatures, even the Great Luo Powerful Ones dared not venture deeply.
Yet at this moment, the previously calm Star Dust Ocean suddenly began to churn, and an Azure Dragon Carriage, driven by four Azure Dragons, burst out at a terrifying speed.
This carriage stood a hundred feet tall, made of an unknown metal, entirely pitch black, adorned with exquisite golden patterns, exuding a grand and magnificent aura.
Pulling the carriage were four Azure Dragons, each a thousand feet long, their scales like mystical armor, their demeanor imposing.
"Your Highness! We have now exited the range of the Star Dust Maze, and not far ahead is the outpost of the White Tiger Clan," a woman in black clothing said respectfully, riding the carriage.
A moment later, a cold female voice came from within the carriage.
"Understood, send them a communiqué, saying we are passing through here on our way back to the ancestral land!"
"Yes!"
The woman in black took a seal from her waist and pressed it into the void.
Bang!
After a flash of black light, an imprint appeared in the void.
Following that, the seal transformed into a stream of light, flying toward the distant starry sky.
After finishing this, the woman in black respectfully said, "Your Highness, it has been sent out. Shall we wait here for a response from the White Tiger Clan?"
"No need, head directly home!"
"Yes!"
The Azure Dragon Carriage moved slowly, then suddenly accelerated, disappearing deep into the starry sky.
But just as the carriage was about to leave the territory controlled by the White Tiger Clan, a brilliance appeared ahead, blocking the carriage’s path.
Under the light stood a group of people, one of whom shouted loudly, "The young master of the White Tiger Clan is here to welcome the little princess!"
The woman in black tugged on the reins, bringing the carriage to a halt in a very short time.
Only then was it clear that what blocked their path was not a mere light, but a large banner embroidered with a fierce image of a White Tiger.
And under this banner stood all members of the White Tiger Clan.
The leader was a young man in white, handsome in appearance, every movement exuding various kinds of menacing aura and supreme majesty.
His eyes in particular, subtly golden, highlighted his infinite authority.
It was Li Xiongling, the young master of the White Tiger Clan!
After the carriage stopped, a faint smile appeared on Li Xiongling’s face, and he stepped forward, clasping his hands in salute.
"Little princess, long time no see, I’ve been waiting here for quite a while!"
Within the carriage, there was silence.
Li Xiongling stood there quietly, the smile on his face unwavering.
After a long moment, a voice came from within the carriage.
"Young Master, you’re too courteous. With your esteemed position, why wait for me here?"
The White Tiger Clan, like the Dragon Clan, is also a powerful Demon Race passed down from ancient times.
And the young master of this White Tiger Clan, in terms of noble lineage, is not inferior to this little princess of the Dragon Clan.
Li Xiongling chuckled at the words, "The little princess has been in seclusion in the secret realm for many years, and breaking through this time is a great cause for celebration. Moreover, since you happen to be passing by our outpost, it’s only natural for me, as the young master, to come out and greet you!"
These words are reasonable and considerate, giving the Dragon Clan much face and spoken quite eloquently.
But the little princess inside the carriage seemed not to appreciate it, and after a moment of silence, she said calmly, "Young Master, your kindness is appreciated, and I am truly grateful, but may I pass now?"
Her words carried no hint of wanting to step out of the carriage.
Li Xiongling’s eyelids twitched slightly, the smile on his face remained, but his eyes turned a tad colder, though he quickly hid it perfectly, then sighed softly.
"Dear Ao Shu, no need to be so distant. Remember, we were great friends who shared everything as children!"
"Would you really pass by here without even stepping out to meet?" Li Xiongling said lightly.
"I’m sorry, I indeed have some urgent matters now, perhaps next time, if there’s an opportunity, I’ll visit you personally! And about our childhood... best not mention it again, Young Master." As she said the last part, the voice from inside the carriage turned somewhat chilly.
A flicker of fire appeared in Li Xiongling’s eyes.
After receiving the notification from the seal, he rushed here to wait.
He had already waited for a full quarter of an hour, a time not long but rare for anyone in the world to be worth the wait of the White Tiger young master.
Thus, Li Xiongling believed he had shown enough sincerity, only to find that this Dragon Clan princess didn’t appreciate it, not even getting off the carriage.
This was as if slapping his face in public, how could it not fill him with anger?
Were it anyone else, Li Xiongling wouldn’t hesitate to tear them apart.
But confronting this carriage, Li Xiongling’s eyes flickered, and he eventually took a deep breath, suppressing his frustration, and chuckled, "In that case, I won’t delay Your Highness’s journey any longer!"
With that, he sidestepped slightly, opening a path.
