The builders were working to restore all the buildings and infrastructure of the Royal Palace grounds.
Wang Ke didn't have ti to watch the whole recovery process; instead he went to play Mahjong rounds with the demons.
Guys, do you know what this ley line dragon is used for? Two Bam! Wang Ke asked as he played his tile.
The demon following Wang Kes turn said as he played a tile, Youre asking ? Beats ! The ley line doesnt seem to have much use for humans. But it might be beneficial to demonic beasts! Four Cracks!
Demonic beasts? Wang Ke was a little surprised.
Yeah, do you know anything about the Dragon Gate Assembly? the demon asked.
Of course; I went there once. It was a place called Dragon Cultivation Town near the bank of the Miasmic Sea. The town hosts the assembly once every decade! Each immortal sect will send their disciples to participate. A lot of mortals will go there to be recruited! Anyone chosen by the immortal sects will be like a carp leaping through the dragons gate; they will enter an immortal sect! Wang Ke reminisced.
Thats right. That day, the place will be enshrouded by leaked dragon Qi, which makes it easy for immortal sects to choose potential disciples who have great fortune in cultivation. The leaked dragon Qi is not very useful for people like us, and it always lures demonic beasts to that place, the demon explained.
Oh? Demonic beasts need dragon Qi? I think I rember; a demonic beast charged into the town the last ti I went there, but was eventually slain by a powerful cultivator. So thats why! Parlor Lord Zi wants to see the draconic ley line during the assembly? She wants to make a huge ss? Wang Ke wondered.
The demon who played a turn before Wang Ke said, Who knows! But I heard from a friend that Parlor Lord Zi plans to launch a full-scale counterattack against the righteous sects during the Dragon Gate Assembly.
A full-scale counterattack? And the ley-line gold dragon is key? Wang Ke said aloud as he pondered.
Sigh. We dont know the details either, and we arent going there anyway. Let them be! Co, co! Lets get back to the ga! the demons urged.
And so, Wang Ke played Mahjong while trying to fish out useful information from them. anwhile, he brainstord and speculated.
----------------------
Golden Crow Sect, in one of their halls
The righteous disciples that escaped from the Qing Capital sat in the hall to heal themselves while Zhang Shenxu lay on a bed.
A muscular man wearing a purple-gold Taoist robe stood in front of Zhang Shenxu while observing the latter. The man had a chowrie in his hand and his hair was tied into a taoist bun.
Zhang Shenxus face was no longer pale after being treated. He gradually opened his eyes.
Next ca shock, as he recognized the muscular man standing before him. Sect Lord? Why are you here? How did I co back?
You knocked the hell out of my gate the mont you guys returned to the sect; how do you expect to not co? Haha, not bad; Ive already fixed your concussion. I have also flushed out the drug in your body. You lost too much blood; stay in the sect and take so ti to recover! Im sure it wont take long! said the taoist-robed man with a smile.
That man was the Golden Crow Sect Lord.
? I lost too much blood? How co? Zhang Shenxu was confused.
He still didnt know what had happened back in the Qing Capital.
Senior apprentice-brother Shenxu, you dont know about it yet? a junior brother asked in surprise.
A junior sister interjected, Senior brother Shenxu was unconscious all this ti. How could he know?
What happened? I rember I fell into Wang Kes trap! I swear I will get my revenge! Zhang Shenxu said, filled with hatred.
Senior brother Shenxu, how can you accuse him and bite the hand that saved you? a junior sister retorted.
Zhang Shenxu was stunned, Uhh? What did you say?
Yeah! Yeah! It took Wang Ke so much effort to save you! He went through so much hardship just to get you out alive, yet you choose to wrong him! another junior sister said.
Yeah, how can you be so ungrateful! Youll make things difficult for our Eldest apprentice-sister! a junior brother said.
Another junior sister felt disillusioned and said, I didnt expect you to be such a person! I must have been blind in the past!
Zhang Shenxus eyes widened in disbelief. Why?Why are all of you looking at like this?What did I even do?What kind of person am I?What do you an blind?
What the hell happened? Zhang Shenxu asked in frustration.
All his juniors chid in to tell him what happened in the Qing Capital. Of course, they only told him what they thought to be true.
Zhang Shenxus cheeks twitched as he listened.
My sister likes Wang Ke? Nonsense! She only wants to knock his lights out and take his money! Zhang Shenxu raged.
But a sister reasoned with him anxiously, Senior brother Shenxu, you were unconscious at the ti; please do not speak out of ignorance. We saw it with our own eyes. It is true, and she even t Wang Ke in secret behind the partition last ti. Oh no! I promised her to keep it a secret! You didnt hear anything! You heard nothing!
Nonsense! All of you are nuts! My sister would never like Wang Ke! She already has a marriage betrothal! Sect Lord, you know that, right? Zhang Shenxu looked at the Golden Crow Sect Lord in anger.
The Sect Lord nodded, Yes, I do!
Sect Lord, Wang Ke is a real scum! My sister would never develop feelings for him! Zhang Shenxu tried to convince the Sect Lord anxiously.
One of the junior sisters wasnt buying his claims. Senior brother Shenxu, if you dont believe us, why not ask your sister yourself?
Zhang Shenxu: .................................!
The Sect Lord shook his head and said, Whatever it is, stay calm! Zhang Shenxu, isn't it better if the situation is like you said?
Better? Zhang Shenxu was stunned.
Yeah. Do you know what your sisters fire cultivation technique is? Do you rember why she ca to the Ten-thousand Great Mountains? the Sect Lord asked.
Uhhh, my father is worried that my sister would have too smooth a life? Zhang Shenxu guessed with a frown.
Yeah; an overly smooth life! Its not good for her cultivation! the Sect Lord continued with a smile, She has a unique physique that allows her to practice a powerful cultivation technique; the angrier she is, the faster her breakthroughs! Who would ever dare to cross her if she stays by your fathers side? Thats why she ca to this foreign place. Alas, as ti passed and her cultivation grew, she has had less and less encounters that could infuriate her. Her complications with Wang Ke could be considered a serendipitous chance!
Serendipitous? Zhang Shenxu couldnt yet wrap his mind around it.
Sect Lord, what technique is our Eldest apprentice-sister cultivating? She needs soone to make her angry? Anger helps her break through faster? The juniors were amazed.
I cant give you any more details, but her flaming temper is mainly because of this technique! Wang Ke? Wang Ke is a godsend! His appearance will aid her Zhang Li'er in becoming stronger! She might have an early breakthrough because of him! The Sect Lord smiled heartily.
-----------------
Qing Capital
After a few rounds of MahjongWang Ke had already gathered a lot of information from his casual probing. After that, he left the appointed Mahjong room with satisfaction.
But, just when he left the roomLittle cousin-sister went running toward him.
Clan Lord, bad news! she said urgently.
Bad news? Zhang Li'er woke up? Aweso! Tell her I already left the capital. Ask her to leave at her earliest convenience, as waiting for to co back would be useless! Wang Ke said happily.
No, no! Zhang Li'ers body... is growing feathers! So many of them! Little cousin-sister clarified anxiously.
Wang Kes face froze. What did you say?Feathers?Little cousin-sister, how were you taking care of her? What did you do that made her grow feathers?
This novel is available on Hosted Novel.
Its true! I was taking good care of her while she was in a deep sleep. But suddenly flas exploded from her body and I didnt know what to do Next thing I knew the flas went back into her body, and then red feathers started growing on her body, like a bird! So I imdiately wrapped her with clothes! Clan Lord, what should we do? Little cousin-sister panicked.
Wang Ke looked at his cousin in disbelief. Damn, the woman grows feathers?Who would believe such nonsense!
