Chapter 377: Chen Dragon and Shen Pearl

Just as he was about to be greeted by the dual-natured Lord of Pleasure with a world-unrivaled member, the body of Sinuoli, still remaining in the Mortal World, sent the sound he heard to his soul in the Chaos Realm.

"The sun and moon shine bright, disperse all evil!"

Following this, Sinuoli's soul erupted with blinding, intense light from the inside out before Slaanesh, and then vanished from the hall.

"Oh? What a pity, but you know, we shall meet again!"

Slaanesh's ethereal voice trailed behind his soul; this was also the last sound he heard from the Warp.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

Returning to his body once more, Sinuoli panted wildly. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes to find out exactly who had saved his soul and chastity.

"Has Your Excellency Minglong Yin recovered so quickly? Or has a long time already passed? And who is this?"

The three Dark Elf females tied up opposite him were already decapitated. Sinuoli naturally had no thoughts of cherishing the fair and pitying the jade; he turned his body to look to his right and fired off three questions like a machine gun.

"This is my younger sister, Shenzhu. She holds the Authority of Bright Light, governs the administration of hope, and is also highly skilled in the art of rejuvenation. With her help, my injuries from yesterday have fully recovered." Minglong Yin Yin lifted her beautiful eyes slightly and pulled the young woman beside her to introduce her.

"Respected Longnü, the King of the Southlands, Sinuoli, greets you! Thank you for your rescue!"

Sinuoli hurriedly clutched his chest and bowed deeply before looking up. Shenzhu was dressed in a goose-yellow long dress, and in the dim prison cell, her whole body seemed to radiate a soft, warm light.

"Giggle! You need not be so polite. With your abilities, had it not been for the great consumption in the battle the day before yesterday, I imagine you would not have been invaded by external evil."

Shenzhu covered her mouth and chuckled. Sinuoli's solemn posture made her feel somewhat strange. Compared to her sister, whose appearance was that of a woman in her early twenties, she looked like a girl of sixteen, carrying a touch of immaturity and purity.

"At sunrise, while we were talking, my little sister suddenly sensed evil Qi invading. She searched until she reached the hold, and seeing it seemed to come from the bodies of the bandits, I took the liberty to act. Please do not mind." Yin Yin explained to Sinuoli the reason for their appearance there.

"Not at all, not at all! May I ask from where you came, Princess? Previously, it was the Green Dragon Highness I contacted using the seal." Sinuoli waved his hand while rapidly turning his thoughts; there was no doubt that his escape from the Chaos Realm was the work of the two Longnü.

Yin Yin was experienced and immediately dealt with the sorceress carrying the mark of Slaanesh to cut off the energy supply, and Shenzhu had the professional expertise, which allowed them to pull him back during the split second when Slaanesh's control was unstable.

"I was practicing in the Twin Moon Temple. Receiving word from my eldest brother, I reckoned there must be a great battle, so I set out to provide reinforcements. Who would have thought you would first destroy the heterodox cults and slay the evil beasts of the foreign tribes, and then rescue my fifth sister and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire? It almost made my little sister run for nothing."

Shenzhu laughed again as she spoke, but Sinuoli had no energy left to appreciate her beautiful face. Although his soul had not been directly corrupted, he had suffered no light erosion from his time before Slaanesh, and he was at his most exhausted.

"You two, come over here and provide protection!"

He pointed at the two subordinates hiding behind the Longnü. Buluokesen and Ailike, learning that it was the prisoners under their charge who had caused the problem, were too ashamed to step forward.

"It seems you need to rest. Warm Sun and Gentle Breeze!"

Discovering that Sinuoli needed the support of his two subordinates to remain standing, the two Longnü understood his situation. Shenzhu waved her fair hand, bestowed a recovery spell upon Sinuoli, and left the prison cell with her sister.

Sinuoli, whose body and soul had been hollowed out, fell asleep as soon as he returned to his room. When he woke up again, the fleet had already returned to Fuzhou City. Stretching his waist as he walked out of the cabin, Sinuoli sized up this majestic city before him.

Fuzhou City was located at the confluence of the Yu River and two smaller rivers, forming an endless, massive lake in front of the city, "Jingbo Lake," which was a natural, excellent harbor for the navy and various civilian ships.

Fuzhou thus became an important trade center. The Minglong had established her seat of government here, and after thousands of years of dedicated management, it could be described as magnificent. The front city wall was dozens of meters high, and a large number of craftsmen were either setting up ladders or hanging in mid-air, repairing the damage caused by the Dark Elf pirates.

"Please!"

"Please!"

The Dreadnought and the treasure ship docked at the same time, and the two Longnü stood at the bow, gesturing to Sinuoli from afar.

"Long live the Princess for ten thousand years! Long live King Sinuoli for ten thousand years!"

As the gangway was lowered, the troops waiting on the shore cheered. Sinuoli's actions in the interception battle had long since spread through the army, and the Cathayan soldiers held this foreign king who had helped them with such righteousness in high regard.

Following Yin Yin and Shenzhu through the city gate and along the wide street in front, Sinuoli looked into the distance and saw the Minglong Palace located in the center of the city. There were several other very tall buildings in Fuzhou City, which would have to wait for him to explore another day.

"You shall rest at the guest house today. I have some trifles to attend to, and I will host a banquet to welcome you tomorrow night." Sitting in a carriage pulled by a Dragon Horse as it passed through the streets, Yin Yin's voice came to his ear just as he was overwhelmed by the sights outside the window.

"No problem, please go ahead!"

Sinuoli naturally had no objections. Since the enemy had struck at the very gates of her capital, there would naturally be many things waiting for Yin Yin to handle upon her return, and his own physical and mental state had not fully recovered, so resting for an extra night was for the best.

Moving into the guest courtyard of the Minglong Palace, Sinuoli found the feeling of a Jiangnan garden from his past life. After finishing dinner and preparing to lie down on the bed to rest, a light knock sounded at the door.

"Are you resting?"

"No, please come in!"

Sinuoli narrowed his eyes; he knew without asking who the woman was who could bypass the triple sentries of Cathayans and Dwarfs to reach his door. As the door opened, the figure of Shenzhu slipped in.

"Princess, you visit late at night; what instruction do you have?"

"I dare not offer instruction. You have lived in the Western Lands for a long time and have fought in many battles; I imagine you are familiar with the customs of various places. Could you tell me about them?"

Hearing this, Sinuoli frowned slightly. After staring at Shenzhu for a moment, he roughly guessed the situation from the stories he had heard along the way.

The Dragon Emperor and the Moon Empress had nine children. They were of the same father and mother, but their strengths were not exactly equal. Although the True Dragons would not publicly rank the abilities among their own family to mortals, after thousands of years, the Cathayans had pieced together a rough idea.

While these gifted True Dragons could certainly improve their strength through acquired practice, the greatest influence remained the natural growth that came with time and whether their innate Authority was focused on combat.

Having already lost three children, the Dragon Emperor and his wife would naturally want to do their utmost to protect their youngest daughter, Shenzhu, whose Authority was focused on healing and support.

But this "youngest" had to be compared to whom; Shenzhu was at least five thousand years old by the lowest count, and having lived under the control of her parents and siblings, she was full of curiosity about the world outside the Celestial Empire.
