“With a beauty right before me, how could I not be in a hurry?”
This seductive, enchanting giggle was bone-meltingly sweet, making the Flood Dragon feel as if its very soul were being hooked right out of its body.
To spend a night of passion with such a beauty was a dream it had anticipated for who knows how many years.
After a thousand years of grueling cultivation, the day had finally come for it to rise to the top!
The Flood Dragon swallowed hard, its greedy eyes repeatedly scanning Xiao Yue's body.
Her cherry-red lips were naturally vibrant without rouge, her skin fresh, tender, and silky smooth, and her bedroom eyes were filled with a captivating, seductive allure.
If there was one regret, it was that fish tail.
Compared to a fish tail, the Flood Dragon still preferred the long, slender, fair legs of human women.
This was precisely why it had demanded that Xiao Yue bring the Spring of Undying when entering the bridal chamber.
“My bride, you brought the Spring of Undying with you.”
The Flood Dragon licked its lips, a lurid grin spreading across its face.
“In that case, take a sip first.
“That way, it'll make things much more convenient when we consummate our marriage.”
“Since Your Majesty wishes it, I shall drink it then.”
Xiao Yue offered a coy, charming smile and raised the bowl to her lips.
A wave of delight washed over the Flood Dragon.
In its memory, the look Xiao Yue used to give it was always cold and full of disdain, as if looking at garbage.
Who could have thought she would become so obedient and clinging today!
As expected, she had been captivated by its charm!
However, right when the Flood Dragon was bursting with smug satisfaction...
...it saw Xiao Yue tilt her head back and heroically gulp down the entire bowl of the Spring of Undying.
The Flood Dragon's expression flickered slightly.
“My bride, I only told you to take a sip and leave the rest for me. Why did you drink it all?”
Not only that, but at that moment, the Flood Dragon felt that Xiao Yue's action of chugging down the Spring of Undying was as bold and unrestrained as a man's, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to a mermaid princess from the deep sea.
“Why? Because, naturally... you don't deserve it.”
Completely different from a moment ago, Xiao Yue's expression suddenly turned freezing cold.
The Flood Dragon's expression froze instantly.
“No, you're not Xiao Yue. Who on earth are you?”
“How cruel. Your Majesty was just saying you would love me forever, so how could you change your mind so fast?
“Since you're such a heartless lover, then pay with your life to fulfill your promise.”
The next second, Xiao Yue fluttered down as a paper figure, and Chen Ning took her place, sitting on the edge of the bridal sedan.
The Spring of Undying that the paper figure had swallowed transformed into a stream of water and flowed directly into Chen Ning's mouth.
【Congratulations, Host, for successfully drinking the Spring of Undying.】
【Spring of Undying (Layer 1) (0/1000)】
As the system voice faded, Chen Ning felt his heart thud powerfully.
His Divine Phoenix Bloodline actually surged with excitement at the influx of the Spring of Undying, causing the blood throughout his body to circulate at an accelerated speed.
The moment they touched, the two forces cautiously repelled each other at first, but before long, they slowly began to fuse together.
The two indeed possessed the ability to enhance each other!
“A man?!”
The Flood Dragon was completely stunned.
It had never expected that its disgusting, lustful behavior just now had been witnessed entirely by a man.
“You bastard! How dare you trick this King! I'll kill you!”
The Flood Dragon roared, seemingly wanting to tear Chen Ning into shreds.
“Angry already? Just in time, then—I'll test out the effects of the Spring of Undying on you.”
Chen Ning shattered the bridal sedan underfoot, appearing abruptly in front of the Flood Dragon, and unleashed a whistling punch.
“Hmph, just a mere human's fist! Do you really think it could possibly affect my physical body...”
Before the Flood Dragon could finish its sentence, a domineering, overwhelming force instantly swept through its entire body.
In the next second, its burly frame flew straight backward, crashing heavily outside the hall.
“Cough.”
The Flood Dragon painfully spat out two mouthfuls of blood, having no idea how many ribs had broken in its chest.
Its eyes widened in utter disbelief; it couldn't believe this was a level of strength a human could possess.
“What happened? Shouldn't His Majesty be in the bridal chamber right now?”
“How could a human appear in the Dragon Palace!”
The loud crash instantly startled numerous sea demons.
Only then did they realize that Princess Xiao Yue, who had seemed a bit strange, was actually an imposter human in disguise.
“The King is so pitiful... He cultivated bitterly for a thousand years just to take a wife, only to end up bringing back a man...”
“Your Majesty, I'll slay this bastard for you!”
An electric eel shot out suddenly.
This was the perfect moment to display loyalty!
After drinking the Flood Dragon's blood, the electric eel had long undergone a mutation. Not only had its size grown dozens of times larger, but the voltage it could release was enough to instantly turn a human Sixth-Rank Master Realm cultivator into ashes.
Even a Fifth-Rank Grandmaster Realm cultivator would likely lose all combat ability if struck head-on by this attack.
The electric eel accelerated abruptly, slamming directly into Chen Ning.
“One hundred thousand volts!”
A powerful electric current instantly surged through Chen Ning's entire body.
“I never expected a human to travel thousands of li just to deliver a merit right into my hands. Thank you so much!”
The electric eel sneered smugly.
However, the instant it raised its head, its expression froze completely.
“How is this possible?!”
The electric eel was dumbfounded.
A faint golden glow had merely shimmered over the surface of this human's body, and under that powerful electric current, he hadn't suffered even a scratch!
“I guess it's my turn now.”
Chen Ning smiled faintly.
For Chen Ning, who had already comprehended Thunderous Sword Intent, electric currents not only failed to cause him any harm, but actually sharpened the invisible Sword Intent lingering around him even further.
Chen Ning reached out and grabbed the electric eel.
In the next moment, a massive electric current far more terrifying than the one on the electric eel's body completely swallowed it.
“Arghhhhhhh!”
Even the electric eel's wail carried a string of robotic, electric buzzes.
In the blink of an eye, its body turned into a pile of charred coal and fell to the ground.
“Bastard! How dare you insult our Dragon Palace and mock our Dragon King!
“Human, I'm going to crush you into a meat patty!”
Right then, a sea turtle roared angrily.
Its body expanded rapidly, its algae-covered turtle shell crushing down like a mountain.
“A mere Flood Dragon dares to style itself as a Dragon King in a fake Dragon Palace?”
Chen Ning grabbed the electric eel's charred body to use as a sword, thrusting straight up toward the heavens.
The lifetime of electrical charge accumulated within the electric eel transformed into a roaring Thunderous Sword Intent.
With just a single strike.
A clean, neat fissure appeared across the sea turtle's mountain-like body.
In the next instant, it split right down the middle into two halves!
This time, the sea demons were completely traumatized with shock.
The sea turtle and the electric eel were entities equivalent to human Fifth-Rank Grandmaster Realm cultivators, yet both had been instantly killed without even lasting a single round?
This human's strength was simply unfathomable!
The sea demons, who had just been scrambling over one another to claim credit, looked at each other, not a single one daring to step forward.
“Brother Abalone, how about you go? You have a shell, so you should be pretty tough.”
“Tough my ass! Didn't you see that the turtle was slashed in half with one hit?!”
“Then how about you go, Brother Octopus? You have lots of tentacles, so you should be able to take a couple extra slashes.”
“Do you think my tentacles are cabbages?!”
"..."
“Useless trash, shut up!”
The Flood Dragon was thoroughly enraged.
It hadn't expected that the subordinates it had expended so much effort to cultivate were nothing more than a bunch of useless cowards.
In that case, it would handle this personally.
“Human, after killing you, I will go slaughter the entire mermaid race and teach them the price of daring to deceive me!”
As its voice fell, the Flood Dragon's aura surged violently.
The single horn atop its head and its whiskers lengthened gradually, and amidst the cracking sound of twisting bones, its body rapidly grew and mutated.
By the time those blood-red eyes filled with killing intent fixed upon Chen Ning, it had transformed into the majestic body of a Flood Dragon, several dozen zhang in length!
