Chapter 862: Chapter 3: Surna Qi or Surna Lü
Is Long Long really that intimate with the Azure Dragon Clan?
Of course not, the re fact of being destined to beco a breeding machine alone made it completely unacceptable to Long Long, not to ntion his True Body was ultimately of the Human Race, and leaving the Eastern Emperor Realm was only a matter of ti.
The White Tiger Divine General couldn’t possibly know that he was to take Long Hu to Beiming Fanyang, but he must have sensed sothing from sowhere else, making Long Long also have to admit that there were indeed so formidable figures in the Eastern Emperor Realm.
Since the White Tiger Divine General has guessed this matter, wouldn’t soone within the Azure Dragon Clan have noticed sothing as well?
Long Long pondered with a somber expression, only to hear Qi Yingzhu continue:
“Master said, if you’re lost in thought and silent, then it’s most likely true.”
“Leaving aside the matter of the Azure Dragon, if the North State was completely defeated by us, it would indeed be disadvantageous to the Azure Dragon Clan, but not necessarily to the Jiaolong, that’s all I’ll say.”
Having said that, Qi Yingzhu lifted her chin, as if saying “Do you have any questions?”
Long Long:………
I hate these kinds of charlatans who love to anticipate other people’s reactions!
“So now you consider yourself part of the White Tiger Clan?” Long Long began his counterattack.
Qi Yingzhu’s face stiffened for a mont, then she glared at him hatefully and said:
“That’s none of your business!”
“How is it none of my business?” Long Long laughed, “If it were the Qilin Clan’s Qi Yingzhu who spoke the above words, my response would be ‘All dragons in the world are one family, with no distinction between Jiaolong and Azure Dragon’. But if it’s the White Tiger Clan’s Qi Yingzhu…”
“What about the White Tiger Clan’s Qi Yingzhu?” Qi Yingzhu asked frowningly.
“Ah, so you’re not denying it then.” Long Long imdiately revealed a smile that said ‘So that’s how it is’, “If it’s the White Tiger Clan’s Qi Yingzhu, then please kindly convey a ssage to the White Tiger Divine General.”
When Qi Yingzhu heard the first part of his sentence, she was so angry that she clenched her teeth tightly, and a whining sound ca from her throat, but upon hearing the second half, she had to forcibly suppress her rage and listen to what he actually wanted her to convey.
“Tell the White Tiger Divine General.” Long Long said solemnly, “No matter what he says, it’s all the sa to , I’m not in the habit of making deals with the enemy.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yingzhu’s face fell, and she said, sulkily:
“Understood.”
She turned to leave, only to be called back by Long Long:
“Yingzhu, did the White Tiger Divine General say what you’re supposed to tell next if I choose to negotiate with you all?”
“Don’t call so familiarly!” Qi Yingzhu snapped angrily.
“What does it matter? It’s just omitting the surna, and besides, you and your father share no blood kinship anyway…” Before Long Long could finish his words, his leg was whipped by the other’s tail.
It seems the Mao Clan all have a habit of smacking people with their tails, though Long Hu’s tail is fluffy and soft, and usually it smacks him more in playfulness.
However, Qi Yingzhu’s tail was long and resilient, and when it hit Long Long’s leg, it felt like a whip… but oddly, it didn’t hurt much, probably because his own body’s strength was too high.
“I won’t tell you!” Qi Yingzhu gritted her teeth.
“Then there must be sothing.” Long Long laughed heartily again, “I thought the White Tiger Divine General really had an infallible strategy, that he could foresee everything! Turns out he just laid out his plans in a sequence and made you morize them by rote.”
Qi Yingzhu wanted to retort, but seeing Long Long’s arrogant and smug look, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and chuckled:
“Master said, if I ntioned the Jiaolong and you chose to cooperate with us, it would prove that you’re rely a paper tiger; but if you stay silent and then decisively refuse, it would an…”
She deliberately elongated her voice, and Long Long frowned and asked:
“What does that imply?”
“It implies that you are a major threat to us,” said Qi Yingzhu with an ominous tone, “one that needs to be eliminated before we can be at ease.”
Long Long was taken aback in that instant. Indeed, he was already a Nascent Soul Cultivator, but if a fairy were to fixate on him, wishing to eliminate him at all costs every single day, that would be very troubleso.
But he was hardly the naive sort, and imdiately laughed out loud:
“Impossible! You made up that line yourself, didn’t you?!”
Qi Yingzhu was also startled. The previous sentence was indeed said by Lv Yan, but the part about “eliminating before being at ease” was sothing she fabricated to scare Long Long.
How could he see through her ruse?
Seeing Qi Yingzhu’s panicked expression, Long Long knew he had successfully bluffed her and put on an air of profundity as he leisurely said:
“If the White Tiger Divine General truly wanted to execute soone, why would he let his disciple inform the other party in advance, to prepare them for defense? It’s only because I saw through your lie at a glance. Otherwise, if others heard it, they would burst out laughing, saying that the White Tiger Divine General is all bark and no bite – a re pompous figure with an empty reputation.”
Qi Yingzhu felt utterly ashad, thinking that she almost tarnished her master’s na for the sake of montary satisfaction, which was surely inappropriate.
Fortunately, Long Long wasn’t the sort who enjoyed spreading gossip haphazardly, and she hoped he wouldn’t go around speaking carelessly about this.
“Yingzhu,” Long Long, seeing her in disarray, spoke earnestly, “in the end, will your last na be Qi or Lü? This is no trivial matter.”
“The reason why the Qilin Clan is now willing to cooperate with the White Tiger is rely because Qi Qiaosong has ascended the throne as an illegitimate child and lacks legitimate authority. They need your mother to consolidate their prestige.”
“But political power grows stronger the longer one holds it. As long as Qi Qiaosong makes no mistakes, he will eventually reach a point where he no longer needs your mother.”
“Without this mutual interest, how do you think the old Qilin ancestor will treat you? Do I need to say more?”
“What will you do then?”
Qi Yingzhu gazed at him, speechless for a long while, when suddenly she said:
“Are you expressing concern for ?”
Long Long: ???
No, I’m trying to sow discord between White Tiger and Qilin Clan, how did it suddenly turn into a concern for you? Are you sure your mind is alright?
“Don’t worry too much about it, I have my plans,” Qi Yingzhu said with a wistful smile, sorrowfully speaking, “The reason mother had beco a disciple under my master was also to secure an escape route for in advance.”
Long Long was montarily speechless, thinking that regardless of how arrogant and impulsive Lü Ya was, at least as a mother it seed she had fulfilled her responsibilities.
So it goes to show, a political marriage without true love is undesirable!
“Long Long.” Qi Yingzhu somberly spoke, “I too hope that there will co a day when I can stand before you as Lü Yingzhu, not as Qi Yingzhu. Although it’s not possible now, I firmly believe that such a day will eventually co…”
At this mont, the young tigress suddenly realized sothing, and quickly turned away in a fluster, leaving behind only a trace of lingering crimson:
“Ah, I have to go. My master has ordered to convey celebratory gifts to the Dragon Clan.”
After saying that, she ran off in a hurry.
Long Long: ………
So, my marriage is sothing I can’t decide for myself, do you people even realize that?
