Chapter 12 Son of the First Emperor
Chapter 12 Son of the First Emperor
"Father, Mother! I was blind and ignorant, and offended His Majesty! Do as you please! I am willing to die to atone for my sins!"
The Fourth Princess of the East Sea had her long hair disheveled and was being blown wildly by the wind. A tear rolled down her cheek, and her body was tightly bound by chains. She knelt on the ground and cried out to the Dragon King and Dragon Mother.
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at her brothers and sisters with eyes full of reluctance...
I can no longer go out to sea with them...
I can no longer steal my brother's wine, and I will talk with my sisters all night about the important task of restoring the dragon clan!
She was the princess of the East Sea and also a female general of the East Sea Dragon Palace.
So what is her regret?
He didn't die on the battlefield against the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan, but now he's going to die in front of his own home.
At this moment, the Dragon Palace Crown Prince and the princesses trembled with tears in their eyes. They clenched their fists, letting their sharp nails pierce their flesh, as they watched their loved ones about to be killed.
What is it that you want to plead for mercy, but cannot?
It is kinship, surpassing even the immense passion of countless dragons for the revival of the dragon race!
"What happened?"
Lingxiao had just left the Dragon Palace Treasury and was chatting and laughing with Zhunti and Jieyin when he suddenly sensed the sorrowful mood of the dragons in the plaza ahead.
"Your Majesty! My daughter has offended you and spoken disrespectfully to you; her crime deserves execution!!"
Despite his heartache, Ao Guang knelt down and bowed to Ling Xiao.
As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of dragon essence in the Dragon Mother's hand transformed into a sword, which slashed straight at the Fourth Princess of the East Sea.
A halberd gleaming with divine light flew out from between Ling Xiao's brows, piercing through the dragon essence sword like an arrow released from a bow.
"What?"
Ling Xiao frowned and said, "Just for speaking rudely, you want to kill her? Do you think I'm that petty? If you kill her, what will the beings of the primordial world think of me after this story is told?!"
This harsh reprimand caused Zhulong to immediately lower his head, while Ao Guang and the Dragon Mother were overjoyed, repeatedly saying, "What Your Majesty says is absolutely right..."
"you……"
Ling Xiao looked at the Fourth Princess of the East Sea, stroking his chin with one hand, and asked, "Wait, I forgot, what did you tell me before?"
The fourth princess blushed, her voice barely audible, and knelt at Ling Xiao's feet, her head bowed: "At that time, I did not know Your Majesty's identity. I told my father... I am willing to kill Your Majesty for my father."
These words were spoken.
Everyone present looked uneasy and anxious.
"This sentence?"
Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled slightly, saying, "It's alright. Those who follow my race must have this kind of aggressiveness!"
Upon hearing this, Zhulong, Ao Guang, and the Dragon Mother exchanged a glance, all captivated by Lingxiao's charisma.
With such a master, the dragons would gladly grovel at his feet!
If Ling Xiao previously impressed people with his status, now he is winning them over with his magnanimity and carefree character!
A true king wins people over with virtue; the next best act is to act like a hegemon.
This is the kind of leader that the dragons are willing to follow.
The fourth princess was stunned for a moment, then tears welled up in her eyes. She secretly vowed that she must cultivate diligently in the future to serve the Venerable One.
Ignoring everyone's gaze, Ling Xiao strode up to her, shattered the chains binding her with a single palm strike, and then reached out to pull her up.
"This is a warrior!"
"A warrior can die on the battlefield, but not in disgrace on his own doorstep!"
After saying that, Ling Xiao looked at Zhulong and said, "You select three outstanding young dragons to serve as mounts for my brothers and me. This will ensure they don't suffer any losses. Following us brothers will bring them benefits."
As Ling Xiao finished speaking, a commotion broke out among the dragons, and in an instant, a cacophony of voices swept across the entire area.
The powerful and high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan were extremely excited.
To be able to become His Majesty's mount is such an honor.
"Me! Me! Me! My name is Ao Fang. I don't have any special talents, except that I'm beautiful! Your Majesty, please choose me, you won't regret it!!"
"Your Excellency, your second brother looks honest and kind, I can take him! But your third brother... forgive my bluntness, he's a bit overweight and has a somewhat lecherous look in his eyes. I can be your mount, or your second brother's..."
"Your Majesty! Please look at me! I beg you! My ever-changing dragon can transform into any shape you desire!"
"Your Excellency, I am neither beautiful nor pretty, but I have one advantage: I can fly fast!"
On the vast plaza, countless dragon maidens jostled and pushed their way through the crowd, waving their arms and shouting on tiptoe, hoping that Lingxiao would glance at them.
Zhunti was already furious, his hands clenched into fists, his lips trembling with grievance as he looked at Jieyin and said, "Second Brother, that little wench slandered me! Can't you beat her up?"
Jieyin remained silent, then comforted him, "Alright! He was just telling the truth. Heaven will protect the honest. Third brother, you can't go against Heaven!"
Zhunti: "..."
He staggered back a few steps, staring in astonishment, clutching his chest and gasping for breath in pain...
"I see everyone's enthusiasm, let's pause for a moment!"
Zhulong smiled as he looked at the many dragon maidens, then gestured with his hands to lower them, saying, "Only heroes can become Your Majesty's mounts. Aside from your good looks, ask yourselves honestly, are you heroes?"
The dragon maidens were speechless; they dared not argue with the Candle Dragon.
But when she looked at Ling Xiao, her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of infatuation and resentment.
When the four princesses of the East Sea saw them like this, for some reason, it felt like drinking an ice-cold can of cola on a sweltering summer day...
Zhunti looked at Zhulong, cupped his hands, and said, "May I ask, senior, where are the heroes?"
Jieyin also looked at Zhulong.
Although they are Ling Xiao's brothers, they would never take advantage of this status to disrespect a powerful expert at the level of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Zhulong stood with his hands behind his back, smiled faintly, and said, "It is indeed I."
Upon hearing this, both Zhunti and Jieyin stared at him in astonishment.
The dragons were also stunned.
The faces of the many dragon maidens instantly fell.
Good heavens, you're so eager to prevent us from following His Majesty, are you abusing your power for personal gain?
Ling Xiao said, "Zhulong, the Dragon Clan will need your leadership from now on. This matter is inappropriate."
Upon hearing this, Zhulong felt a deep sense of regret.
"Very well, Your Majesty. My eldest brother, Zulong, once had ten sons. After the great calamity of the Dragon-Han era, four of them are still alive, all of whom are the most outstanding talents of our dragon clan!"
After saying this, he immediately sent a telepathic message to summon the four sons of the First Emperor.
Before long, four divine rainbows descended from the void, which were the four sons of the Ancestral Dragon.
When Zhulong transmitted his voice, he had already told the four brothers the whole story.
The four dragons were naturally overjoyed.
The master his own father had once served!?
If I could catch their eye, my future achievements would be limitless!
If one day Lingxiao returns to its heyday, they will also rise to prominence along with him.
At this moment, Ling Xiao's gaze was fixed on the four sons of the Ancestral Dragon.
