Chapter 40 CHAPTER 39 : They Know Menglou's Whereabout
While the old man Taizong and aunt Bai were talking, a straight white beam of light came from inside the black dragon abyss and it passed through the sky.
" Seems to be a long transmission signal." The old man murmured.
" Master, is it a bad thing?" asked Aunt Bai.
" I don't know. Maybe worse." He replied.
" What should we do now?" She asked again.
" We can do nothing. So, we will wait." He calmly replied while drinking his tea.
Inside the black dragon abyss, Menglou remained on the ground unconscious. A white color aura came out from her chest and envelope her turning into a white cocoon.
After a month, the cocoon started breaking slowly. After three days the cocoon was completely broken off, a woman came out from inside the cocoon. She was none other than Menglou. She looked younger and had a pair of horns on her forehead.
" Now, I remember everything. This Heilong is so hateful until the end. Even in his death, he managed to send a signal to them. Soon they will come for me. I need to take care of my daughter and son before I leave. This Heilong is so annoying." Menglou said to herself. She collected all the remains of the black dragon, Heilong. Then she came out of the black dragon abyss.
When she came out of the black dragon abyss, an old man and aunt Bai stood before the entrance waiting for her.
" Sister Menglou. Are you alright?" Aunt Bai quickly moved toward her and hugged her.
" Elder sister Bai, I am fine. Ah, father, you are also here?" Menglou then removed herself from her tight embrace.
" Lou'er, do you remember now? If you have any problems that I can help with, do tell." Taizong asked.
" Yes, I remember everything. Father, we need to discuss something. Let's go to the palace first. " She replied politely.
Then, they all walked toward the palace.

There is a prosperous planet in the higher realm inhabited by dragons. Somewhere on this planet, inside a building, a man was currently reading a book. He seems to be around the age of 27. He is very handsome and has an elegant nature.
A guard entered and reported, " Patriarch, we received news about the whereabouts of princess Bailong. "
The man stopped reading his book, looked at the guard, and spoke, " Good, who is in charge? "
" Its elder Qiulong. " The guard replied politely.
" Tell him to come here immediately." The man ordered. The guard excused himself and the man started reading his book again.
After some time, another youth came inside the room and greeted the man politely.
"Elder Qiulong, it's been so long. How have you been?" The man asked, trying to be friendly.
" Patriarch, I am fine. What can I do for you?" Qiulong asked directly. He is a straightforward man who doesn't like to talk much.
" Tell me everything you know about the news of Princess Bailong." The man stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.
" Yesterday, we received a letter from Heilong. It says the details of princess Bailong. They are now on a planet in the lower realm. " Qiulong replied.
" Is it in our territory?" The man asked casually.
" No, it is in Zhang's territory," Qiulong replied.
" Qiulong, I know she is your favorite disciple. But, she betrayed us back then and vanished suddenly. I know you are an honest man. But, you can't protect her this time. One last thing, elder Qiulong, these days there is a bit of commotion in the elders' council due to her action. So, be careful with what you choose. " The man kept the book on the table and warned him seriously.
" Patriarch, I will keep that in mind. If there is anything here to discuss then let me excuse myself." Qiulong clasped at him and left the room quickly.
" This guy, always like this." The man murmured. Then, he started to think about how to solve princess Bailong's matter.
At the time the guard entered and reported again, " Patriarch, Qing Fai of the Qinglong family is here to meet you."
The man put away the book and replied sternly, " Bring him in."
Then a handsome youth in his 20s came inside the room.
" Hello, patriarch Shenlong. How are you?" The youth came in and greeted him with a wide smile.
" Hahaha, I am fine. What brings you here, Master Qing Fai?" The man asked.
" Patriarch, let's stop beating around the bush. I hear you know the whereabouts of Princess Bailong. " Qing Fai spoke slyly.
" Master Fai, why don't we deal with our problem?" Patriarch Shenlong said seriously.
" No, she was already betrothed to our first young master. She belongs to our family now. This searching mission we will go on personally. Also, some of your people can come along. It's also your family's weakness that she had been missing until now. " Qing Fai said.

Back in the lower realm, inside the palace of Canon city, three people were currently sitting inside a room while drinking their tea. They were Menglou, Aunt Bai, and old man Taizong.
" Father, they will come here soon," Menglou said to him.
" Lou'er, don't worry too much. We will face it together." He smiled at her. Actually, Menglou was practically brought up by him after her transformation into a toddler. He had three sons. So, he always considered her as his own daughter. Later, she had fallen in love with his eldest son, Tang Zimo. Then, they married afterward.
" Sister Menglou, what will you do now?" Aunt Bai asked her.
" Elder sister Bai, I will meet my son and daughter once and leave this place for good," Menglou replied.
" Lou'er, you need to talk with Zimo now." Tang Taizong reminded her.
" I will do that father. He is the one that I choose. I am tired, I will see you again. " She replied.
Then, Aunt Bai and Menglou left the room.
" This brat, I need to do something this time. I should go to Zhang family this time."
