Chapter 95

I'm dizzy.

I'm here to be a guest at your house, not to accompany you to play diving.

Strange to say, as soon as the two arrived in the water, a transparent light shield naturally appeared on their bodies. The river water was isolated outside the shield, and their bodies were not wet at all.

The river water was cool, and the sunlight shone through the water surface, reflecting the surroundings like glass curtain walls.

Fish schools swam around, seeing the two, neither strange nor panicked, swimming on their own.

The old man pulled Zhang Xingyu's sleeve and walked to the bottom of the river step by step. He was calm and composed, as if this big river was his home.

Old man, big river, home.

Oh, why am I so stupid.

Zhang Xingyu just wanted to open his mouth, but the old man seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.

"I think you have already guessed who the old man is? That's right, the old man is Ao Qing, the owner of this 800-mile river." The old man laughed.

"So you are the Green Dragon senior. Please forgive junior for being dull, I haven't thought of your identity all the time." Zhang Xingyu bowed.

Ao Qing smiled: "Little guy, now that you know the old man's identity, are you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of. Senior is inviting me to be a guest, not to eat me." Zhang Xingyu said.

Actually, knowing the old man's identity, Zhang Xingyu's heart was really a little uneasy.

This old man, could it be that he really felt that he was destined to be with him, and wanted to invite him to his house to drink and chat?

The two talked, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the bottom of the river.

The bottom of the river was full of reefs, lush water plants, and various fish and shrimp coming and going.

Zhang Xingyu looked around for a while, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Senior, I didn't expect this underwater world to be so beautiful."

Ao Qing smiled and said softly: "The scenery at the bottom of the water is naturally different from that on land. However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you stay for a long time and see too much, you won't feel anything."

The two continued to walk forward.

Another quarter of an hour later, a magnificent, dreamlike palace appeared in the distance.

Ao Qing pulled Zhang Xingyu to the front of the palace and said softly: "Little guy, this is my home."

Zhang Xingyu looked up.

I saw that this palace was built of transparent crystals of all sizes, and each crystal was inlaid with pearls and gems, which was truly luxurious and magnificent.

In front of the palace stood a tall archway, with three large characters engraved in the center of the archway: "Crystal Palace."

A team of shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarded the gate of the palace, and when they saw the two coming, they stepped forward to salute.

Ao Qing waved at them and led Zhang Xingyu straight into the palace.

Zhang Xingyu looked like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking left and right, praising constantly: "Senior, you are truly a rich man. You built this house so beautifully, how much money did it cost."

Since ancient times, the dragon race has been one of the richest races in this immortal world.

They are not only rich, but also love money even more.

They like to collect all kinds of rare treasures, and like to show off the treasures they collect in front of people.

Ao Qing was flattered by Zhang Xingyu's flattery and felt comfortable.

He laughed: "This is nothing, small meaning. My hometown, the East Sea Dragon Palace, is truly luxurious. If you have a chance, you can go and visit."

Entering the Crystal Palace and coming to the main hall, Ao Qing invited Zhang Xingyu to sit, and asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food.

Before long, the wine and food were ready.

The wine was wine he had never drunk, and the food was food he had never seen.

The dishes were of different shapes and colors, and the fragrance was nose-piercing; the wine was like jade liquid and amber transparent.

Zhang Xingyu was greedy when he saw it, and drooled when he smelled it.

He had been busy all day, and his stomach was already screaming and he was hungry and thirsty.

However, being a guest at someone's house, this etiquette still needs to be paid attention to.

Zhang Xingyu picked up the wine glass and toasted Ao Qing from afar: "Today I saw senior, and I was treated with such hospitality by senior, it is truly a great honor. Junior has nothing to repay, so I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and toast senior a cup. May senior have wealth and happiness forever."

After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

Ao Qing was very happy to receive his toast: "Little friend can come today, making my Crystal Palace shine. The wine and food in my palace are rare in the world, so please don't be polite, little friend."

Zhang Xingyu was waiting for his words.

As soon as Ao Qing finished speaking, he could no longer care about his image, and buried his head in eating.

At the same time, the system's prompt sound kept ringing in his mind.

"Ding dong, host contributes 100 points of spiritual energy, converted into 1 point of God Yuan Value."

"Ding dong, host contributes 100 points of spiritual energy, converted into 1 point of God Yuan Value."

This meal was eaten like a whirlwind, and the bowls and plates were clean.

This meal was drunk without a drop left, and the host and guest were happy.

After the meal, Ao Qing asked people to bring spirit fruits and spirit tea.

The two tasted spirit fruits and spirit tea while talking about life.

Of course, 99.999% of the time, it was the old dragon Ao Qing recalling the past.

And Zhang Xingyu became a person who listened to stories thoroughly.

Ao Qing recalled that thousands of years ago, he was born in a noble family in the East Sea. His father was the Dragon King, and his mother was the Dragon Queen. He spent his childhood carefree, and then successfully transformed into a human form.

Hearing that the human world was very interesting, he transformed into a handsome young man, came to Nanhua City, and became a student in it. He lived in the same room as a waste named Liu Changsheng. He looked down on Liu Changsheng, feeling that he was dull and rigid. But Liu Changsheng said that the way of cultivation, congenital deficiency, acquired to make up for it. Five years passed, although the two had different opinions, they also formed a deep friendship.

After graduation, the two went their separate ways. Ao Qing returned to the East Sea, continuing to be a dragon prince who lived a life of debauchery and waited for death. And Liu Changsheng visited famous mountains and rivers, and walked all over the world.

Two thousand years later, the two met again, Ao Qing was still the dragon prince, and Liu Changsheng had already seen the door to the Immortal Realm.

Liu Changsheng said to Ao Qing: "In my life, except for cultivation, it is still cultivation. The only real friend is you, and the only place that makes me nostalgic is one. Ao Qing, I am leaving, after I leave, please help me guard Nanhua Academy for three thousand years."

Ao Qing asked Liu Changsheng: "Why guard that place?"

Liu Changsheng said: "Because that is my home. And I have a premonition that three thousand years later, Xuantiandalu will have a great catastrophe. I don't want my home to be destroyed."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingyu asked in confusion: "Senior, isn't Senior Liu Changsheng already an immortal? After becoming an immortal, is it difficult to let go of the things in the human world?"

Hearing Zhang Xingyu's inquiry, Ao Qing laughed: "That day, I also asked Liu Changsheng like this. Guess how he answered?"

"How did he answer?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Liu Changsheng said, precisely because he couldn't let go, so he became an immortal." Ao Qing replied.

Zhang Xingyu thought about it and said: "Don't understand."

Ao Qing smiled and said: "I don't understand either. If I understood, I would have become an immortal."

In the blink of an eye, four or five days passed.

These few days, eating delicacies, drinking jade liquid, listening to Ao Qing tell stories, the days were like an immortal.

More importantly, Zhang Xingyu's God Yuan Value was rising and rising in these few days.

Unfortunately, good days are always short.

On this day, Zhang Xingyu was listening to Ao Qing talk about Nanhua Daxian Liu Changsheng.

A loud shout suddenly came from the river: "Disciple Fang Shiwen of Nanhua Immortal Academy, by the order of Dean Xu Yun, brought talismans and tributes, and implored the Dragon King to allow the students of this academy to pass."

Immediately after, a golden talisman and a bulging storage bag floated down outside the Crystal Palace gate.

A shrimp general held the things and ran into the palace, reporting loudly: "Report, Nanhua Academy offered talismans and tributes, requesting to cross the river."

Ao Qing grabbed the things at will, and they fell into his hands.

He didn't even look at them, and shouted to the shrimp general: "Go up and tell them, the procedures are complete, and they are allowed to pass."

"Obey." The shrimp general bowed his claws and turned to convey the order.

After the shrimp general left, Ao Qing said to Zhang Xingyu with a face full of reluctance: "Your companions have arrived, it seems you have to go too. It's really reluctant to let you go. You are gone, who will accompany me to talk, who will listen to me tell stories?"

Actually, Zhang Xingyu was also reluctant to leave.

The delicacies, wine, spirit fruits, and spirit tea here are all good things that are rare in the world.

After leaving today, I don't know when I will be able to taste them again?

It's just that the academy's training mission must be completed, and he must leave.

Zhang Xingyu bowed to Ao Qing: "Senior, thank you for your hospitality these days. Although I also want to stay here and listen to your stories, the academy's training mission must be completed. After I complete the mission, if I have free time, I will definitely come to see you often."

Ao Qing nodded: "Go. Training makes people grow. Don't delay."

Zhang Xingyu bowed and said goodbye, and was about to float up to leave, but Ao Qing grabbed him again.

"Little friend, wait. I have a divine technique 'Seventy-two Transformations' here, which I will give to you. This trip to the Myriad Demon Sea, maybe it can help you."
