655: Chapter 447 655: Chapter 447 The Dragon King and the princes saw Jiang Tang and even saw him smile, which was already embarrassing and infuriating, but now they really felt like their souls were spitting blood!
The mermaid princesses and maidservants: “Wow, the handsome and dashing Prince Charming has appeared again!”
“Handsome guy, what’s your name?”
“Dude, where did you go just now?
Hurry up and take us away!”
“Right, right, we don’t want to wait here to die anymore.
Our father has trapped us here, and it’s so lonely.
We want to see the outside world and follow you to the ends of the earth!”
Dragon King …
what kind of ghost daughters did I father?
Prince …
I don’t have sisters like these!
Dragon King …
It’s so shameful.
They saw everything when I was bald and bare.
Prince …
I’ve lost all face in this lifetime, having my embarrassing look seen by others, especially by young girls from my own family.
The thoughts of the Dragon King and the princes went unnoticed by the princesses and maidservants, nor would they pay any attention, as their eyes were now all on Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang …
Princesses, maidservants, is it really okay to be so flirtatious?
This master really can’t afford such beauty favors.
You should continue to stay here, or else the Dragon King and the princes will be left with no company.
“I’m a human, and I’m not a good match for beautiful princesses like you.
You should stay here to accompany the Dragon King and the princes!
Besides, I have a girlfriend, and she is more beautiful than you!
She’s kinder and cuter too!”
The princesses and the maidservants were first angry, then they lowered their heads, feeling heartbroken by being spurned by a human.
“Hahaha!”
The Dragon King and the princes, seeing the princesses and their maidservants’ rejected demeanors, not only didn’t feel angry but even felt quite refreshed.
These princesses and their maidservants, instead of speaking up and offering comfort while they were beaten and in such a sorry state, were like enemies surrendering.
It was a clear betrayal!
At this moment, the Dragon King felt his failure even more.
Being punished by the Celestial Court, he and his princes had been turned into ghosts, which was bad enough already.
Staying here for tens of millions of years without being able to leave, their hearts almost went moldy, yet they still kept the princesses alive.
It was all for the sake of kinship, but what about the princesses and the maidservants?
How did they treat them?
It made them feel grateful that all the consorts were dead; otherwise, facing betrayal from the consorts, their already ash-like hearts would feel it even more!
The princesses, originally hurt, lowered their heads.
They behaved like this, hoping Jiang Tang would show some sympathy and then nod in agreement.
They didn’t expect their father and the princes to laugh at them, making them resentful at being so easily exposed.
The maidservants lowered their heads; after all, their status was somewhat lower.
If not for the Dragon King’s and princes’ protection, they would have known they’d be long dead.
The princesses had different feelings, thinking that their father and the princes were obligated to protect them; after all, they were men who should protect women, especially when those women were their relatives.
“Qianji Fire, surround them first, don’t burn them to death too quickly.
I have some questions for them!”
Qianji Fire was a bit reluctant to let the Dragon King and the princes off so easily.
Pretending not to hear its master’s words, it spewed out thicker flames than before, even more ferocious than earlier.
Dragon King …
Damn, do you really want this King to turn to ash?
You damn Fire Spirit.
Prince …
Deliberate, my heart is already being scorched by the flames!
Jiang Tang chuckled to himself; indeed, his pet was quite vengeful.
He silently gave Qianji Fire a thumbs up and lit a candle for the Dragon King and the princes in his mind!
He stood quietly, waiting for the Dragon King to no longer be burned by the Qianji Fire, to clean himself up, and to put clothes back on his soul.
The princes also returned to their original appearances.
They were only souls being burned, their spirits were injured, and they lacked physical bodies, so putting on clothes was just an illusion!
“Dragon King, I have some questions for you.
If you provide useful information in your answers, I’ll let you go, and then my pet and I will stop offending you, and we’ll leave this place!”
Dragon King …
you’ve stormed the Dragon Palace; aren’t you after the treasures here?
Don’t you want to annihilate our souls?
Don’t you want to abduct my princesses?
Prince …
Can the words of this man be trusted?
Trust the words of ghosts before you trust his!
“Father, this man cannot be trusted, who knows what tricks he will play next!” Prince San said.
“Hm, he indeed cannot be trusted!” the Dragon King nodded.
“I’m simply asking you a question.
If you can answer it, I’ll let you go.
If you cannot, or if you refuse to speak, I will immediately not release you!”
No sooner had Jiang Tang finished speaking than the Qianji Fire made a move, starting to spew flames in a small area.
The Dragon King…
Another round of raging fire?
No more, right?
The princes…
What topic is so important?
Such strong transactional nature!
“Father, please agree!
This gentleman might be able to take us with him and open the palace doors!”
“Yes, as long as the palace doors are open, we will be able to go out, we will be free!”
The princesses spoke one after another, actually reminding the Dragon King and the princes that their inability to leave the Dragon Palace was primarily because the palace doors were sealed.
If this man could come in, he could open them; if they could go out, they could find their original bodies, reconstruct their bodies, and never have to possess any mortals again.
Even if they could not find their bodies, to rebuild them, there were plenty of mortals outside.
They didn’t need to enter and fight over every Tom, Dick, or Harry, not even letting go of the ugliest men!
“Fine, what question do you want to ask?
Go ahead!” The Dragon King had come to understand the situation and was no longer so resistant in his heart.
Though he was still angry at Jiang Tang for leading an assault and allowing his pet to cause them such a wretched state.
If one’s strength was insufficient, one had to endure!
“I ask you, do you know how to make Immortal Pills?
The secret formula of the Immortal Herbs?”
The Dragon King shook his head upon hearing this, “We can’t make Immortal Pills.
After our cultivation became immortal, the Immortal Pills we ate were all refined by the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.
We don’t know the secret manual of the Immortal Herbs, nor the method to make Immortal Pills; we only know that the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord has a very powerful Alchemy Furnace!”
Jiang Tang…
The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord in the sky?
Isn’t that something from the myths?
Isn’t that something superstitious?
“How can one meet the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord?”
The Dragon King shook his head, “Since we were responsible for a mistake, we were punished and separated from our bodies.
We do not know where our bodies are sealed, and we, father and sons, were sealed in this Dragon Palace.
As for how to see the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord now, I truly do not know, isn’t it said that ascension is no longer possible?”
“There are four Dragon Kings in this sea, right?
Where are they now?”
Jiang Tang thought of asking the Dragon Kings of the other seas, a question this Dragon King did not have the answer to.
“My brothers have also been sealed.
When you stormed into my Dragon Palace, I called for my brothers’ help, and they all said they couldn’t come out, sealed and unable to save me.”
Jiang Tang…
Could this be yet another mystery?
He would find a way to solve this mystery later!
The four Dragon Kings are in the South, West, and North, he would have to find an opportunity to meet them.
“Then do you know the Heaven-Mending Spell?
How can one attain the way to ascend to heaven?”
Jiang Tang’s question prompted the Dragon King and princes to look at each other and then shake their heads.
“The heavens and earth have collapsed, we have been sealed, and we have never tried to ascend, so we truly do not know the Heaven-Mending Spell, nor how to ascend to the Celestial Court after the heavens and earth collapsed!” The Dragon King seemed very sincere, not like he was lying.
Jiang Tang…
Three questions, no knowledge, asking was in vain.
If I opened the seal of this Dragon Palace, would the Dragon King and princes find the way to heaven?
Then I would follow them and know whether they are telling the truth or not.
Of course, it wouldn’t be his real self following them all the time; he would let an avatar do so.
With this thought, Jiang Tang made a decision not to unlock the seals of those Dragon Palaces, but only to unlock the seal of this Dragon Palace and see how the king and princes would proceed!
“Alright, I trust you.
I will open the seal for you, but only the four of you can leave.
There’s a condition, though: once you leave, you cannot harm people or possess anyone.
You’re only allowed to look for your bodies.
I will have someone follow you; if there’s any strange movement, I will let the Qianji Fire punish you, turning you to ash immediately!”
The Dragon King rolled around joyfully, “Really?
You aren’t deceiving us?”
The princes also flew around happily in the air, “Oh yeah, we can fly the road to freedom!”
