Chapter 821: Is there a cure for it too?

"Did the Elder unlock my bloodline shackles?"

"Yes, just like the Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe brothers. It just happened to have a breakthrough, so it wasn't as troublesome as before."

Long Eying tidied her clothes, separating her brocade shirt to wrap her chest.

Liang Qu's actions didn't just bring her ease and comfort; the meridians in her body existed in a more beautiful, more coordinated way, and her *qi* and blood flowed smoothly and freely.

It could be called seizing the creation of heaven and earth.

In the dark.

The road ahead was smooth.

The joy and ease in her heart were second only to the outpouring before breaking through to Jiang Zongshi, and the moment she learned the crisis of the clan's survival had been lifted.

Liang Qu supported his head, silently admiring Long Eying tidying her clothes. He really hadn't noticed before that her figure was so good.

"Is it good-looking?"

"Good-looking."

"I thought you wouldn't like it."

"How could that be!"

"I heard that Great Shun women consider small to be beautiful, using bean sprouts and small coral as analogies..."

"That's because they don't know how to eat."

"?"

"Cough, they don't know how to appreciate."

Liang Qu also gradually learned some differences in cognition after getting together with Eying.

Entering summer, as soon as the cicadas chirped, Great Shun women often wore light, low-cut clothes, revealing the skin of their upper breasts and round shoulders—it could even be said that deep collars were not an exaggeration. Not just married women, but young girls too. He merely thought this was due to the open atmosphere caused by women in this world also being able to practice martial arts and achieve success.

Later, he realized the two were related, but the connection wasn't great.

Compared to the chest.

A pair of golden-toothed shoes, two feet white as frost.

The *dian* ruler measures and reduces by four points, slender jade shoots wrapped in light clouds.

A woman's feet are the more private ones!

Long Eying felt a bit more joy.

Dragon women live in water and rarely walk; their feet are small and have no calluses. She had quite a bit of confidence in her feet, but only... this resolved another worry.

"Elder, it wasn't easy for you to unlock my shackles, was it?"

"Why do you care so much?"

"I want to know."

Liang Qu feigned dissatisfaction: "All the benefits from the Turtle clan's pearl-touching were lost, and I even added some. I had a joyful afternoon for nothing."

"Shall I ask Grandfather to give his seventh and eighth-month lotus seeds to the Elder?"

Liang Qu's eyes lit up: "Can you?"

Dragon-man clan members eat lotus roots and lotus seeds; the output of the Great King Lotus for the Dragon-men is like rice for humans, and the clan's quota is fixed.

"It doesn't matter if a Heaven-level Jiang Zongshi eats two fewer meals."

"Cough." Liang Qu was immediately tempted, but also felt a bit embarrassed. "Do I have to tell the Great Elder that it's for me?"

"I'll say I have a big appetite."

"You don't have a big appetite; Binglin has a big appetite."

The fluorescent jellyfish drifted quietly, the edges of their translucent umbrellas undulating like waves.

After chatting for a while, the Dragon Sturgeon called for a meal, and the two of them walked out of the cave leisurely.

Inside the cave, the fluorescent jellyfish flicked their tentacles, gradually extinguishing their light.

From beginning to end.

Liang Qu did not explain the black thread.

For one, he hadn't figured out if this thing was unique to Dragon-men or a normal situation; at least he needed to compare it.

Moreover, even if he compared it, it wouldn't necessarily prove the situation. Dragon-men and Dragon Sturgeon are special—they are not naturally born, but forcibly created by the Dragon Lord with great ability, and their bloodlines decay generation after generation. They don't have a stable species characteristic at all; being able to breed normally is already outrageous.

It is normal for horses and donkeys to crossbreed into mules that cannot breed.

Speaking without knowing the facts would be like a villain stirring up trouble.

Secondly, if the Dragon Lord really left a backup, it might not be malicious; perhaps it was out of self-protection and helplessness.

The human race is powerful.

The Dragon-man clan has the population scale of a small town, but their strength quality is outrageously high. If they really created a perfect race without limits, the high-ranking officials in the imperial court would probably all be half-human, half-dragon.

Take a step back.

He felt that looking at problems cannot ignore the factors of the era. Dragon-men are essentially the same as servants who sold themselves, belonging to private property, and even more so. The Dragon Lord has the component of an "ancestor."

According to the laws of the Great Shun, if parents beat their children or slaves to death, they can redeem their death; the laws of earlier dynasties didn't even care.

This concept is certainly wrong, but judging it directly is also not advisable.

With the Dragon Lord's bloodline, Dragon-men generally live long lives. In the world, how many can enter the Perfected Form Realm and die young?

The first generation of Dragon-men chosen by the Dragon Lord definitely didn't have a particularly good family background, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen into doing this business.

It was just failing the red-hearted loyalty of the Dragon-men and Dragon Sturgeon.

Without a Martial Saint, facing the East Snake and North Fish clans seizing the Dragon Palace, this was a battle destined to be lost, yet the Dragon-men and Dragon Sturgeon still fought back with all their might several times.

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Liang Qu temporarily buried the matter in his stomach. If the Dragon Lord doesn't appear, there will likely never be a clear answer about the black thread.

Many things don't necessarily need to be brought to light.

On the way.

Long Binglin repeatedly looked at Long Eying. He always felt that his cousin was different, but he couldn't say where. Deep in his memory, the Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe brothers suddenly jumped out.

He quietly approached Liang Qu.

"Elder, Eying, she..."

"It's as you think."

Long Binglin was overjoyed: "Can Grandmasters also?"

"The cost is different. When you reach the shackles in the future, I can unlock them for you too."

With the original bloodline concentration of Long Binglin, Long Eying, and Long Yanrui, they would only reach the shackles at least at the Great Jiang Zongshi level, so there was no rush at all.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Long Binglin was full of excitement.

Beautiful.

Ever since Liang Qu appeared, the days of the Dragon-man clan have had more and more to look forward to!

Flourishing!

"Come, come, come, since you have come from afar, taste the specialty of our Dragon Abyss Path, the Cold Abyss Clam. It is incomparably fresh and delicious; you must taste it."

Ao Cangyuan, a master of the Dragon Sturgeon clan, hosted them enthusiastically.

On the stone table.

A large pile of shellfish like oysters and clams was stacked into a small mountain.

Eating land delicacies underwater is wishful thinking. The Frog clan uses the Great King Lotus to burn fire and cook hot food, which is already an anomaly among the water tribes.

Ordinary monster tribes eat, focusing on the original flavor. Being able to perform simple processing is already quite remarkable.

Not to mention.

Not bad.

Original flavor, very fresh and sweet, worthy of being a creature grown in a blessed land.

Liang Qu had previously noticed that both sides of the White River were covered in the same shellfish creatures.

The Fat Catfish gorged itself, its big mouth opening and closing, *crunch, crunch*, swallowing shell and meat together. Awei opened its mouthparts, tasting them one by one.

"Where is Senior Ao Qing?" Long Binglin looked around.

"Senior Ao Qing is feeling unwell and said he would come later." Ao Cangyuan's face showed apology.

A Dragon Sturgeon Great Demon feeling unwell?

Everyone was stunned.

Ao Qing is not an ordinary Great Demon. Converted to the human realm, he must be a Jiang Zongshi of the Perfected Form mid-level, a grade stronger than a Jiang Zongshi. Unless injured in a fight, how could he be "unwell" on an ordinary day?

Long Binglin felt inexplicably ashamed, feeling that he had left a bad impression on Liang Qu.

"The Abyss Clam is not bad." Liang Qu patted Long Binglin on the shoulder.

Halfway through eating.

Water currents disturbed.

Ao Qing arrived late.

Long Binglin felt relieved in his heart; at least he came. Perhaps he really had something to do just now.

"Senior Ao Qing."

"Sit, no need to be restrained. The Dragon Abyss Path is a blessed land, but it doesn't have many delicacies. Only these Abyss Clams can be considered to have some taste."

"Senior Ao Qing is too polite."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone continued to open the clams and enjoy them.

Ao Qing did not join. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Binglin, Eying, you say, if the Flood Dragon walks the water and turns into a dragon, and we receive its essence and blood, will my Dragon Sturgeon clan also have a cure?"

*Slap! *

The shell in Long Binglin's hand fell, and the entire mountain of shells slid down.

Dead silence.

No.

There was still a trace of liveliness in the dead silence.

*Crunch, crunch! *

The Fat Catfish chewed loudly.

Until Round Head bumped it hard, and the Fat Catfish's big head hit Liang Qu's chair back. It finally realized the atmosphere was wrong, swallowed what was in its mouth with a *gulp*, and looked around vigilantly.

Long Eying stared intently.

Long Binglin broke out in a cold sweat.

"Senior Ao Qing... what does this mean?"

"I said, if the Flood Dragon walks the water and turns into a dragon, and we receive its essence and blood, will my Dragon Sturgeon clan also have a cure?" Ao Qing's gaze shifted to Liang Qu. "Two years ago, the Flood Dragon was forced by the Great Shun to withdraw the White Ape bounty. Its good friend is Eying's husband, right?"
