Entering the Buddhist path does not mean being heartless. The Arhat who was not subjugated was a compassionate one, he chatted amiably with the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, reminiscing about his experiences and insights gained from his years in Buddhism, persuading the Four Dragon Kings to convert to Buddhism as well.
By then, there would be five Dragon Arhats in Buddhism, making the Dragon clan dominant in Buddhism.
The Four Sea Dragon Kings were delighted to see their brother, they recalled their love-hate stories with the Island Master of Penglai Fairy Island. These stories were deeply moving, and they persuaded the Arhat who was not subjugated to leave Buddhism to become the fifth Dragon King.
At that time, they would be able to overpower the Island Master, with all the oceans of the Nine Provinces under the control of the Dragon clan.
The Five True Dragons laughed heartily, enjoying the harmonious atmosphere. Everyone spoke their own minds and no one listened to each other.
The Dragon-subduing Arhat and Li Nian’er watched the five silly dragons, Li Nian’er was somewhat reluctant to recognize the Western Sea Dragon King as her uncle. “Enlightened one.”
“Human Emperor. ”
The Four Sea Dragon Kings greeted Wu Zhi and Jiang Li.
“How’s the preparation for the performance going?”
“To ensure that everything goes without a hitch, we plan to rehearse it again.” the East Sea Dragon King respectfully replied, “Would the Human Emperor like to watch and make any corrections if needed?”
“No, I’d rather have some anticipation.” Having been tormented by Duo Chi Kingdom’s New Year’s Eve Gala, Jiang Li wanted to see a splendid celebration.
The Four Sea Dragon Kings could only regretfully give up this opportunity to get closer to Jiang Li.
“Big Brother, we’re here for once, why don’t we pick up some special products before we leave?” The Four Sea Dragon Kings bid farewell to Jiang Li and the others and strolled around the temporary marketplace.
The East Sea Dragon King pondered for a while, then waved his hand, “Buy all the statues of the Human Emperor and worship them at home.”
Being affluent, the Dragon Palace saw those expensive statues merely as drops in the ocean.
Jiang Li and Wu Zhi bid farewell, Li Nian’er was still holding a Luminous Pearl. This was a gift from the Western Sea Dragon King, she could play with it.
Jiang Li noticed that Li Er was sneaking around in the crowd, looking for someone. Seeing Li Nian’er, he clung to her like a drowning man grabbing at straws.
“Oh, my sweet girl, why did you run away? With you around, your mother would have taken your feelings into consideration and scolded me less. But once you left, your mother wouldn’t stop talking, just like the water in the West Sea,” said Li Er.
“Daddy begs you, please stay with me, for just half a month!” Li Er pleaded earnestly.
“End your dealings with several women from the White Marsh Dynasty, and I will agree to your request,” Li Nian’er responded, with an impassive expression. She knew her father had dubious relationships with several female demon clans in the White Marsh Dynasty.
Li Er froze and awkwardly responded, “You’ve misunderstood. I was just trying to learn the demon language, there’s even an eagle demon among them. Do you know how difficult it is to learn eagle language…”
Li Nian’er remained silent, looking quietly at her father.
Knowing that he couldn’t bluff his way out of this situation, Li Er could only look to Jiang Li for help with pleading eyes.
Jiang Li asked, puzzled: “Can’t you learn the demon language using your Divine
Sense?”
Li Er, realizing he couldn’t rely on Jiang Li, spat out blood in frustration. If Bai Hong were here, at least he could provide some cover. But with Jiang Li here, there was no cover to be had, only a target to be hit.
A target aiming for the bull’s eye.
With Jiang Li’s contrary assistance, Li Er had no choice but to promise that he would cut ties with the several female demons from that day forward.
Only then did Li Nian’er’s expression soften slightly, and she decided to follow Li Er back.
“Come out.” Jiang Li suddenly said, and a young woman with dragon horns, who looked somewhat like Li Nian’er, stepped out from the side.
“Are you Li Er’s wife?”
“Greetings to the Human Emperor, Dragon girl Ao Chengcheng.”
“You were the one who told Nian’er about those several female demons, weren’t you?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Li thought to himself, “It must have been the case, how else would Li Nian’er even know what Li Er had done? It’d been kept a secret until someone told her.”
Who would know the secrets of a person at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage? Only the wife of a person at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the true Dragon, Ao Chengcheng.
Jiang Li guessed that Ao Chengcheng didn’t want to expose everything and jeopardize their marital relationship, so she discussed with their daughter, and used her hand to make Li Er cut off those relationships.
Ao Chengcheng was here in advance because she wanted to witness Li Er’s decision, and she was not worried that Li Er would discover her.
This was the Human Emperor Palace. Who would dare to use their Divine Sense?
Anyone using their Divine Sense would raise suspicions of lurking around the Human Emperor Palace. Even someone as powerful as Li Er didn’t dare to do so.
“Then why did you argue with him…”
“Our disagreement was real, no pretence involved, I was genuinely mad.” Ao Chengcheng pouted discontentedly, coming across as somewhat childish.
Jiang Li decided to comfort her, “Don’t be too angry, Li Er also has his difficulties. He broke the blue coral tree you gave him and then went through numerous tests to get a fake one from the Cloudwater Secret Area, just to avoid provoking your anger.”
Li Er, who was on the verge of touching the Tao of immortality, inexplicably grew alert, as if sensing something bad was about to happen.
“Is that so? Thanks for letting me know, Human Emperor.” Ao Chengcheng sneered. Rubbing her hands together, she was itching to have a proper talk with Li Er.
After walking a short distance, Jiang Li noticed that a temporary building nearby had a formation concealing its aura. There were people coming and going from time to time, but they couldn’t fool Jiang Li.
He perceived that this building was emitting a sensual aura, as if some male-female activities were taking place within, pondering the Tao of Yin and Yang.
Before he made a move, he saw several Human Emperor Palace Guards arriving with a search warrant, entering the building and arresting all those inside.
The disciples of Union Sect and several guests.
Despite the guests’ faces being masked, Jiang Li could discern who they were.
The Emperor of Dream River and Emperor Wei.
The two claimed they were there doing business.
The bystanders sighed at this sight. How swift the actions of the Human Emperor Palace were! They didn’t even have a chance to enjoy the services of Union Sect before it was banned.
The Union Sect had only been in operation for half an hour!
“We were really just discussing business, being naked symbolizes our honesty and integrity—it was all above board,” argued the Emperor of Dream River and Emperor Wei. “Do you know the origin of handshaking? When two people meet, they shake hands to demonstrate they are unarmed and pose no danger. This is a basic principle of negotiation.”
“Following the ancient customs, we further improved upon this principle. This is a value that should be promoted.”
The guards were helpless. The two were trying to take a mile after being given an inch. If they weren’t worried about causing a scandal, they really wanted to remove their masks.
Fortunately, both Emperor of Dream River and Emperor Wei were just pretending to be unyielding. They knew when to yield in their hearts. After a few words, they slinked away downcast.
The Master of Heavenly Dao witnessed the whole scene. Looking through the masks, he recognized the true identities of the two and thought this was big news. So he instructed his newly accepted disciple, Lü Kai, to write it down.
“Use this event as a potential headline for the Heavenly Machine Report, include the portraits of the two emperors, but don’t forget to pixelate them,” he said.
“Pixelate their names?”
“Pixelate their faces.”
After the Human Emperor Palace Guard warned the Union Sect and prepared to leave, they were stopped by Jiang Li.
“What happened?”
“Your Excellency, after one of the cultivators received the services of Union Sect, he had a major enlightenment. Finding Union Sect filthy, he reported everything to us,” replied the guard.
Jiang Li thought the whole situation could be summed up in a four-word phrase..
