Chapter 545: Dragon Might Palace
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon hearing the West Sea Dragon King’s words, Wang Mang stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at him.
“Your Majesty, is that true?”
The West Sea Dragon King heaved a sigh of relief and nodded while smiling.
“Of course, I will not go back on my word!”
The reason why he hurriedly called Wang Mang back was naturally because he was afraid that Wang Mang would go to the other three dragon palaces.
After all, with Wang Mang’s strength as a Golden Immortal realm demon, he would certainly have no trouble being recruited, which meant that his own West Sea Dragon Clan would fall further behind!
This was naturally something that he was not willing to see.
Wang Mang pondered for a moment and nodded.
“Alright. Your Majesty, in that case, what is the task you want me to accomplish?”
The West Sea Dragon King laughed and said, “Great General of Longwei, there’s no hurry to get into that matter. Let’s settle you down first, and I’ll tell you about it later.”
Hearing the West Sea Dragon King address him as such, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.
“No problem!”
The West Sea Dragon King immediately raised his hand and ordered, “Men! Shrimp and crab soldiers, bring the Great General to the Dragon Might Palace!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few shrimp and crab soldiers hurriedly walked up and said respectfully to Wang Mang, “Great General of Longwei, please come with us!”
Wang Mang nodded and cupped his hands toward the West Sea Dragon King. “Your Majesty, 1’11 take my leave now!”
The West Sea Dragon King nodded with a smile. He watched Wang Mang leave before returning to his throne.
However, when he saw the expressions of his concubines, he could not laugh anymore, as he noticed that they were all looking in the direction that Wang Mang had left dreamily.
“What are you all looking at?!”
The West Sea Dragon King had a gloomy expression on his face as he snapped at them.
Hearing this, the concubines came back to their senses, and their beautiful faces had unnatural expressions.
“I just wanted to see the future Great General of the West Sea Dragon Palace.”
“That’s right! Why are you angry, Your Majesty? We should be happy that the West Sea Dragon Palace has recruited a powerful Great General of Longwei.”
They spouted some explanations with sparkling eyes.
Upon seeing this scene, the West Sea Dragon King snorted coldly and left unhappily.
He was originally happy that he had found a Great General, but now he was completely depressed.
Elsewhere, Wang Mang had arrived at the Dragon Might Palace, which was comparable in size to the West Sea Dragon King’s Crystal Palace.
It was also very imposing and dignified. Of course, it was still slightly inferior. However, in Wang Mang’s opinion, it was still very good.
“Great General, this is the Dragon Might Palace.”
“However, because the Dragon Might Palace has not been inhabited for too long, there are not many palace maids and servants.”
“But don’t worry, Great General. His Majesty will definitely dispatch more of them to serve you.”
The shrimp and crab soldiers responsible for leading the way for Wang Mang smiled and spoke ingratiatingly.
Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction. Then he could not help but ask, “How many people are there in the Dragon Might Palace now?”
“Great General, there are only a few palace maids in the Dragon Might Palace now. They are responsible for cleaning and tidying up the palace.”
After hearing this, Wang Mang did not ask any more questions and settled down in Dragon Might Palace. After some time, many people from the West Sea Dragon Palace came to curry favor with him.
However, most of them were from the vassal clans of the West Sea Dragon Palace. For example, the Lobster clan, Whale clan, Shark clan, Flood Dragon clan, Squid clan, and so on.
Yes, in the world of the Journey of the West, these were creatures that existed!
There were also the Dragon King Whale clan, the Sea Dragon clan, and Deep Sea Python clan!
Wang Mang had learned about the West Sea Dragon Clan’s recent situation in the past half a month.
At this moment, the sea snake demon ran in and shouted, “Reporting to the Great General of Longwei, the North Conquering General requests an audience!”
This little sea snake was casually promoted by Wang Mang into a position in the Dragon Might Palace.
Naturally, this little demon was deeply grateful to Wang Mang, and was thus very loyal.
Wang Mang was a little surprised to hear this, but he still nodded slowly. “Go ahead and lead him in!”
“Yes, Great General!”
After receiving Wang Mang’s order, the little sea snake demon hurriedly ran out.
Not long after, it brought in a mighty and tall middle-aged man, who was a peak-level Immortal King realm expert.
“Greetings, Great General of Longwei!”
The middle-aged man walked into the hall and bowed to Wang Mang.
He obviously did not expect Wang Mang to be so young, given how powerful the latter was.
It was no wonder the Dragon King had allowed Wang Mang to take this position!
It was also likely that in the future, Wang Mang would reach the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm as well, or even higher!
Thus, it was best to be respectful and make a good impression.
Seeing how respectful the North Conquering General was, Wang Mang immediately smiled and waved his hand.
“General, don’t just stand there. Have a seat. May I know why you are looking for me?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled warmly and said, “Great General is too kind. Please just call me by my name, Wang Long.”
Wang Mang nodded with a smile, but he was somewhat speechless.
He knew that this fellow was actually the most powerful expert in the Deep Sea Python clan under the West Sea Dragon Palace. Wang Long did indeed have the bloodline of the dragon race, but it was relatively thin. Despite this, he had actually named himself Wang Long? Did it mean that he wanted to work hard to become a dragon?
(T/N: The translation of dragon here is Long.)
On the surface, Wang Mang remained calm and asked with a warm smile, “Wang Long, right? Why is General Wang Long looking for me?”
“Great General, you’ve just joined the West Sea Dragon Palace and don’t have your own force yet, do you?””
“Our Deep Sea Python clan has countless good men who can swear on their lives to serve you, Great General.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang’s lips curled up slightly.
How could he not understand what the other party meant?
Obviously, this guy was here to curry favor with him.
No! To be precise, they were here to rely on him!
