Chapter 110: Chapter 110: The Little Dragon Maiden Doesn’t Want to Go Home
Translator: 549690339
Early in the morning, Jiang Cheng set out for his usual jog.
But not long after he started, his communication talisman began to buzz.
The caller was actually Liu Qing?
“Hello?” Jiang Cheng answered the communication talisman.
“Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng, when are you coming over to play with us? I can’t quite understand what Sister Liu Qing says. She always speaks so briefly, and and it’s weird, I just can’t understand. Where did that thing called snacks go? Ao Lian wants to eat snacks, it’s my favorite, uhh my favorite…”
Jiang Cheng silently moved the communication talisman a bit farther from his ear.
Though it was a sparsely populated early morning, Jiang Cheng felt that the situation over the communication talisman was even more bustling than a commercial street.
Amid the lively atmosphere from the communication talisman, Jiang Cheng keenly caught Liu Qing’s words.
“Jiang Cheng, come over,” she said.
Even Liu Qing was urging him to hurry over, so the situation at Wuyue Residence must be quite serious.
“Alright, I’m on my way.”
Jiang Cheng didn’t waste anymore words and immediately changed his running direction, ready to make a dash while continuing his jog!
At Wuyue Residence, Jiang Cheng pushed open the door and saw a scene of complete disarray.
Overturned water cups, fallen tables and stools, snacks and snack wrappers scattered all over the place, and a pile of what must be Liu Qing’s clothes on the sofa…
“Wah! Jiang Cheng, you’re finally here! Ao Lian will show you something fun!”
Ao Lian dragged Jiang Cheng into the bathroom, where she turned on the shower faucet.
“Look! Water comes out of here! It flows! And if you press this, it changes shape!”
Seeing Ao Lian’s expectant face, waiting for praise, Jiang Cheng fulfilled her wish, “That’s really impressive.”
“Heh, no big deal, there’s something even more fun!”
Ao Lian pressed the toilet flush and thus, she earned herself a circular water vortex.
“How about that? Impressive, right?”
Jiang Cheng maintained his patience, giving the child the praise she deserved: “Yes, very impressive.”
“Haha, wah, such fun, Jiang Cheng is so fun!”
Ao Lian happily ran around everywhere.
She found Jiang Cheng’s place too amazing!
Not only was everything interesting, but Uncle Jiang Cheng and Sister Liu Qing were also very nice, very kind!
Uncle Jiang Cheng was very friendly and gentle, and he even gave compliments.
Although Sister Liu Qing didn’t talk much, she never got angry!
“Jiang Cheng,” Liu Qing said, coming out of the bedroom dressed in a silk nightgown.
Compared to her usual clothes, her nightgown was “much too progressive,” although even so, it only revealed her arms, shoulders, collarbones, and parts below the knees.
However, Liu Qing’s figure was indeed unreasonable, so even such a modest nightgown was suspended in mid-air by her uniquely endowed physique, unable to cling to the skin of her lower abdomen or the back of her thighs.
What should have been an unproblematic image suddenly became somewhat indecent.
“Sorry to trouble you,” Jiang Cheng apologized to Liu Qing.
Apart from asking Liu Qing to look after the child, Jiang Cheng couldn’t think of how to deal with the little dragon girl. He couldn’t just throw her out on the streets, could he? That would be considered littering!
Liu Qing shook her head to indicate it was no trouble.
“Clothes, ruined,” she said.
“Buy,” Jiang Cheng replied bluntly. “This counts as a sacrifice for me and Wuyue, I will personally fund the replacement of your wardrobe.”
“Snacks.”
“Buy.”
“Bowl.”
“Buy.”
“Water.”
“Buy.”
“Chair.”
“Buy.”
Liu Qing thought about it, it seemed that everything problematic in their house was being bought by Jiang Cheng, so then there were no problems.
She nodded and finally said, “Ao Lian.”
Jiang Cheng looked at the little dragon girl crawling all over the floor and said, “I’ll send her back as soon as possible.”
“Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng, what are you talking about? Buying what? Snacks? Ao Lian wants to eat snacks. How do you buy snacks? Can we go now? Is Sister coming too?”
Ao Lian’s chattering voice was a continuous stream in Jiang Cheng’s ears.
Jiang Cheng looked at Liu Qing and said, “Shall we go?”
Liu Qing nodded her head.
Jiang Cheng said, “Then you should go change your clothes quickly.”
Liu Qing nodded again and went back to the bedroom.
At this moment, Ao Lian tugged at Jiang Cheng and said, “Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng, Ao Lian wants to tell you a secret.”
“What is it?”
“Big sister can’t eat snacks anymore,” Ao Lian said gravely.
Jiang Cheng asked in confusion, “Why?”
He had never heard that cultivators in the Mahayana Realm had any dietary restrictions.
Ao Lian said earnestly, “Big sister is already very fat, a little fatter than Ao Lian’s mother!”
Then, the little dragon girl looked down at herself and proudly said, “Ao Lian is not fat, so Ao Lian can eat snacks. Lots and lots of them.”
Bang!
Liu Qing, having changed her clothes, pushed the door open and stared at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng was sweating profusely.
“Nonsense, your sister is not fat at all. Her’s is a beauty of affluence.”
Liu Qing’s beautiful eyes fluttered slightly, she let Jiang Cheng off the hook and looked towards Ao Lian.
Ao Lian retorted, not convinced, “She is fat, she’s gained lots of flesh, and it doesn’t look good at all.”
Liu Qing then turned her gaze back to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng seriously and earnestly pointed out Ao Lian’s mistake, saying, “Ao Lian, my friend, no matter how the standards of beauty may change, the one value they should always conform to is health. Your sister Liu Qing, um, she’s well-developed, her flesh is in all the right places, which is a very healthy physique. So under any normal aesthetic, at any time, she is very beautiful.”
Finally, Jiang Cheng added, “Regardless of how others view it, I have always found your sister Liu Qing to be very beautiful.”
After Jiang Cheng spoke, Liu Qing finally stopped staring at him and turned her gaze to the empty space, put her hands behind her back, and took small steps to his side.
“What about me, what about me? What about Ao Lian, what about Ao Lian?” Ao Lian clamored.
Jiang Cheng kindly said, “You just said your mother and sister Liu Qing look very much alike, so when you grow up, you’ll definitely be very beautiful too.”
This morning, the capital of Xiang State, Guo Yicheng, welcomed a special guest.
Bai Ao, an Advisor of the Wuhuan garrison of the Sea Tribe, holding a sealed letter, entered the state government office.
Ordinary people had to follow the rules when entering the government office, but as a cultivator at the Core Formation stage, Bai Ao was a rarity even in the provincial capital of Guo Yicheng.
“Please, come in. Esteemed neighbor and fellow Daoist, may I inquire how I should address you?” Xin Youzhu, the state’s top official, greeted Bai Ao warmly.
With a serious expression, Bai Ao said, “This one is Bai Ao, Advisor of the Wuhuan garrison of the Chuanqi Sea Tribe, in the later stage of Core Formation. I have the honor of meeting your excellency, the Governor.”
“I dare not accept such honors,” replied Xin Youzhu as he waved his hands dismissively, feeling inferior before Bai Ao with his mere Foundation Establishment-stage cultivation level.
“Governor, Bai Ao will cut to the chase. I am here on behalf of our general and Prince San to deliver a message.”
Bai Ao handed over the sealed letter, which Xin Youzhu received with both hands.
Xin Youzhu received the sealed letter, glanced at Bai Ao’s expression, and then broke the seal to read it.
The title of the letter: A Declaration to the Human Race of the Liang Realm.
Xin Youzhu read on.
To his shock, the contents were completely unexpected.
The Fishing Talisman deceived the Dragon Clan Commandery Princess? A million Sea Tribe troops sharing a common hatred? The third son of the Dragon King seeking vengeance for his niece, an unending vendetta?
“Fellow Daoist Bai Ao, this…”
“I take my leave.”
“Stay, fellow Daoist! Fellow Daoist!”
Bai Ao did not look back, leaving Xin Youzhu frozen in place.
The Dragon Clan Commandery Princess was gone, and the Sea Tribe was declaring war on Liang Kingdom…
Why didn’t they seek out the Immortal Sect?
Could Liang Kingdom alone withstand the Sea Tribe’s might?
Smack!
Xin Youzhu slapped himself, forcing himself to calm down.
Whoever ended up in charge of this matter, it was certainly beyond the authority of him as the Governor of Xiang State!
The only course of action now was to deliver the intelligence about the Sea Tribe’s impending war to the imperial court as swiftly as possible!
Whether to wage war or seek peace, whether to ask for the Immortal Sect’s protection or to communicate with the Sea Tribe, all had to be decided by the Emperor of Liang and the Grand Secretary!
