Chapter 316 Is Your Melon Definitely Going To Be Ripe?

Insane!

The dragon race is crazy!

On the cloud, Li Changshou could not help but cover his face with his hand in front of a group of old dragons. Long Ji, who was following behind him, tried to hold back her laughter. Ao Yi’s delicate face was completely red.

What’s wrong?

What else can it be…

That was because Li Changshou had made an emotional speech at the East Ocean Dragon Palace for a while. Then, he executed his schemes and directly conquered the core place of the dragon race— the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean took the lead to swear loyalty to the Heavenly Courts and bet on the fate of the dragon race. Li Changshou had also written down some of the reasonable requests that the dragon race had made, on the decree. Previously, he had already called General Dongmu over and had the experts of the dragon race escort him back to the Heavenly Courts to give it to the Jade Emperor to take a look. Li Changshou did not have a 90% chance of success in the other three Dragon Palaces. For the sake of safety, he did not go there directly to persuade them. He did not want to alarm the Western Sect and ruin their plans.

Although the Dragon King of the East Ocean was the current leader of the dragon race, the Four Seas Dragon Palace remained independent.

Li Changshou pondered for a long time before deciding to use the East Ocean Dragon Palace as a foundation. Then, he would pull the battleships of the South Ocean and North Ocean Dragon Palaces to the Heavenly Courts.

As for the West Ocean…

It was a little troublesome. He would wait and see for now. The slogan meant that he had to work hard and fight for some spots.

Then, Li Changshou followed his plan and brought Long Ji to the South Continent to investigate the various water routes. Li Changshou had previously thought that the dragon race would send an elder to follow him. However, Li Changshou had completely underestimated the dragon’s enthusiasm.

The dragon race had not only sent more than ten elders. Ao Yi had also been sent by the Dragon King to listen to Li Changshou’s orders. The Dragon King had even invited three ancient elders who were guarding the Sea Eye to protect the Sea God’s… paper effigy. After they arrived in the South Continent, Li Changshou had just checked a small waterway when the three ancient elders began to fly up and down.

First, an old dragon ran over and pulled Li Changshou to the mountain beside them. He pointed at the glistening stream and smiled. “Sea God, please take a look. I named this place the Hidden Dragon River. A River God title can be conferred!”

Then, another old dragon ran over and pulled Li Changshou to a nearby human village. He pointed at a small pond at the front of the village and asked with a smile, “Sea God, look at this lake. What should I name it?”

Just as he finished speaking, an old dragon shouted from afar, “Come and take a look! There’s an extremely deep abyss here! The title of a Canal God should be conferred for this place!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

That’s a well!

That’s a well that the villagers had dug themselves!

“Everyone…”

Li Changshou could only try his best to remain calm. He explained tactfully, “We have to follow the rules. I can understand everyone’s feelings, but there… there is a bottom line.”

The old dragons smiled awkwardly. “I’m a little anxious. I’m indeed a little too eager. Sea God, please don’t blame me.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “The South Continent is a place where the destiny of the human race coalesces. You can investigate the water path and become a water god. It can improve the destiny of the human race, protect the safety of mortals, and accumulate merit for the local River God. This is a good thing and a serious matter. It’s not just for the sake of the dragon race. Please understand and support me.”

“I understand! I understand!”

“I will definitely support you!”

“In that case…” An elder from the ancient dragon race turned his head and shouted, “You little dragons should go back. We will protect the Sea God! Why are you all running around? Do you think you’re good-looking? What if you scare these cute mortals?”

The group of old dragon-headed elders bowed in unison. They did not dare to say anything and hurriedly left on a cloud. Although it was a little inappropriate to say that, it was a disgrace! What a huge disgrace to the dragons!

An ancient dragon approached Li Changshou and chuckled. “Sea God, the three of us will be your guards from today onwards. My name is Ao Ao. I’m their second brother. This is Ao Fei. He’s the sixth. This is Ao Bei. He’s the eighth! If you can’t remember our names, just call us No. 2, No. 6, and No. 8!”

Li Changshou cupped his hands and apologized, calling each of them “Senior” once. Without so many old dragons surrounding him, Li Changshou could finally feel more at ease.

Ao Ao took out a flying Dharma treasure and turned it into a small boat.

Li Changshou, Ao Yi, and Long Ji boarded the boat together. Then, they began the long “journey” of checking the waterways in the South Continent. The South Continent was vast and there were countless rivers and lakes.

It was not an easy task to investigate a river. It would definitely not be as simple as flying above the river, looking at the diagram in his hand, and then nodding and confirming that the river was still there before turning around to leave. How could such a perfunctory task obtain the approval of the Heavenly Dao?

According to the rules set by Li Changshou, in order to investigate a river, one would have to first trace the source and find the origin of the river. They had to remember the various tributaries, the path of the river, and the location of the entrance to the sea.

Not only that, but one would also have to illustrate the rough shape of the river and the terrain near the river. They would also have to mark the depth of each segment, the rapid flow of the river, the blockages, and the sites that were prone to accidents.

Other than that, one would have to deduce the changes in the hydrology of the river every year, as well as the history of the river’s transformation.

Before Li Changshou told the Jade Emperor about the matter, he knew that it was a huge and complicated task with a heavy workload. He might not be able to complete it in twelve years.

However, he had to do it. After that, Li Changshou reckoned that he would earn a lot of merits.

It was not a deliberate scheme.

It was reasonable for him to work hard and receive the Heavenly Dao’s commendation. It was completely different from the effects of the toxic credit enhancement. Just like that, Li Changshou set off from the Coast of the East Ocean with the three ancient dragon experts that accompanied him. Following the Da Yu Hydrology Diagram, he held a numinous treasure immortal brush and began to investigate the waterways of the South Continent. The three elders of the dragon race were relieved to see that Li Changshou was so meticulous. They did not urge or disturb him. Instead, they hid themselves and did their duty as guards. However, that process was a little… boring for Li Changshou’s followers.

The boat floated on the cloud and slowly moved along the river.

Long Ji was wearing a loose Daoist robe as he sat at the stern of the ship. At some point in time, her body was leaning forward and her legs were crossed. She held her face gently and was lost in thought as she looked at Li Changshou, who was writing and drawing in the straw shed on the small boat…

Ao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged at the side, rubbed his chin and glanced at Long Ji from time to time. He felt a little apprehensive. Sister-in-law?

Impossible. Why would Brother Sect Master be attracted to such a young girl, especially when Sister-in-law Ling’e is in the mountains? Although such a young girl is beautiful, she is not as outstanding as Sister-in-law Ling’e.

That’s right. She’s the daughter of the Jade Emperor. Could it be that the Jade Emperor is trying to matchmake them, and Brother Sect Master can’t reject him?

Ao Yi pondered for a while. In just a short while, he had already imagined a scene of the “Heavenly Palace’s Ultimate Love, My Twelfth and Thirteenth Immortal Wives”

At that moment, Li Changshou’s voice sounded.

“Ao Yi?”

“Brother!” Ao Yi hurriedly stood up. Li Changshou did not even look back. He continued painting with the ink and said calmly, “Don’t think too much. Her Highness Long Ji learned some tricks from me.”

Ao Yi could not help but purse his lips and blink. His delicate face was filled with embarrassment.

Mind-reading? Brother Sect Master is indeed good at reading minds!

Li Changshou continued, “Return to the East Ocean Dragon Palace and borrow a small troop from the Dragon King. You will be in charge of leading them. I have already arranged for 100,000 members of the Heavenly Courts to train near the South Ocean, the East Ocean, and the North Ocean Dragon Palace. I have to draw various water routes here. Since I can’t split my attention now, you shall supervise this matter. Don’t let the members of the Dragon Palace get into a conflict with the Heavenly Soldiers. Look after those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Don’t let them take the benefits of the dragon race and ruin the dignity of the Heavenly Courts.” “Brother, don’t worry!” Ao Yi cupped his fists and agreed. He immediately turned around to leave. A dragon elder appeared to protect Ao Yi as he returned to the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

Li Changshou stopped writing and began to ponder. Then, he turned around and smiled. “By the way, Bian Zhuang will also bring a few Heavenly Generals to the Dragon Palace for a banquet. Remember to arrange for someone to entertain them. If you are still unhappy with him, you can punish him slightly. At the same time, you can let him know how powerful he is and restrain his temperament.”

Ao Yi could not help but mutter, “Brother, how should I punish him?”

“You don’t need me to teach you that.” Li Changshou said helplessly, “Just get Bian Zhuang drunk and find a few ugly fish demons and prawns to surround him. When he wakes up, can’t they just call him ‘Official’ in unison? Of course, I’m just giving an example. Bian Zhuang is now the deputy commander of the Heavenly River Navy. He can be considered a competent subject of the Jade Emperor. Don’t go overboard.”

Ao Yi’s eyes lit up. He said firmly, “I will not disappoint you, Brother!”

He turned around and rubbed his palms together. He was prepared to go all out! After Ao Yi left, Long Ji blinked and thought about it. Finally, she came back to her senses and chuckled while covering her thin lips. She then took out his jade token and wrote: “The Sea God is not only stable and cautious, but he also has an interesting personality. Moreover, he’s too evil. He actually deliberately set a trap for his deputy commander and set him up with a beautiful woman in the ocean…” “Long Ji.” Li Changshou’s voice drifted over again. “Some trivial matters do not have to be noted down. If others find out that I’m deliberately making things difficult for Bian Zhuang, Bian Zhuang’s future will be bleak.” Long Ji subconsciously sat up straight, and goosebumps rose all over her body. She was stunned.

How did the Sea God know what I had written in the jade token? This jade token was bestowed by my mother. It is also a treasure…

“Yes, I’ll wipe it off now.”

Long Ji hurriedly responded and wiped away the words in the jade token.

Li Changshou continued to draw the water paths. The smile on his face disappeared, and most of his attention was focused on the side, ready to deal with the disturbances that the Western Sect could cause at any time. The matter of subduing the dragon had to be rushed.

In the next eleven years, he only needed to find time to meet the Dragon Kings of the South Ocean and the North Ocean. As for the rest… he would let the dragon race figure it out themselves. Speaking of which, the Western Sect’s were really slow in taking action…

Li Changshou was tensed up for half a month before he finally caught sight of the enemy.

Some strange people appeared in the Sea God Temples of various places, but the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village had already left. In the past half a month, Li Changshou had altered his previous plan. He had changed from ‘hiding’ to ‘taking the initiative to lure the enemy’. He had allowed the elite Divine Envoys to leave the underground safe house and move about in the main Sea God Temple. In the original plan, the Divine Envoys of various places had put up a notice saying that the Sea God Divine Envoys were going to advance their divine powers. Li Changshou increased his efforts and left countless clues everywhere. Those clues pointed to the Sea God Temple and led the executioners from the Western Sect to the vicinity of Anshui City. The Sea God Temple that had been renovated was more than enough to accommodate more than 1,400 Divine Envoys. In the past half a month, every time Li Changshou scanned his Sea God Temple with his immortal senses, he could not help but imagine a classic voice from a program in his previous life. “Spring has arrived. It’s time for the Magihumans to be active again.”

“In Anshui City on the South Ocean, there are roars that are filled with power and gusto.”

“Look, the Magihumans have walked out of their houses and gathered in the spacious square and backyard of the Sea God Temple. They are flexing their strong muscles that they are proud of. Apart from the houses and foundations, they have raised everything that they could lift. Based on this, it is clear how strong they are.” “Strength is the best medicine for the Magihumans when they are facing unknown fears.”

“These Divine Envoys do not rely solely on their strength to attract the attention of the opposite sex. They have their own unique skills.”

“For example, singing, reading books, writing stories, and so on. They may gather in groups of two or three to hone their special skills as Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect. They compared the number of cities that they had taught…” In short, the Divine Envoys who were on vacation for the past half a month were very relaxed.

The reason why Li Changshou changed his plan was actually very simple. The Magi from the Netherworld! At that moment, there were dozens of real Magi mixed among the Divine Envoys. They were also pure ancient Blood Battle Magi! If any of the Magi were to be injured, there would be one less member. They rarely moved around in the Netherworld.

However, Li Changshou managed to invite nearly fifty of them this time! On that day, Li Changshou brought a few Magihumans to the Netherworld and arrived outside Fengdu City without any obstructions. He saw the two old men, Ox-head and Horse-Faced.

When they saw Ox-head and Horse-face, Xiong Laosan and the other Magihumans burst into tears.

When their emotions were invoked, Li Changshou began to explain softly about what had happened.

What kind of temperament did Ox-head and Horse-face have?

They heard that the Magihumans who were working for the Sea God were being targeted by the Western Sect and that the Western Sect vented their anger on the descendants of the Magi because they could not deal with the Sea God!

Afterward, the two Soul-Reaping Envoys were enraged on the spot. They took off their hoods and stomped their feet while cursing. Without a word, they carried a few Magihumans and quickly disappeared. In less than half a day, Ox-head, Horse-face, carried Xiong Laosan and the others and returned with dozens of angry and irritable males.

They followed Li Changshou back to the Sea God Temple and blended in with the Divine Envoys, ready to attack at any time.

If one were to ask why the Netherworld Magi were not afraid of the Western Sect, which had a Saint…

Their ancestor was Pangu. Who would not be convinced!?!

The Magi had offended countless mighty figures from ancient times. They relied on hunting to become the overlords of the land. Today, they were not afraid of the Western Sect at all.

At the same time, Ox-head and Horse-face represented the Grand Magus Priest. They were deeply grateful for the Sea God’s concern for the safety of the Magihuman race. If Li Changshou had not stopped them, they would have brought another bunch of local specialties with them… That was probably the situation. Li Changshou naturally would not just watch from the sidelines. He silently prepared the paper effigy army. He could not rely on the Magi to fight this battle. As he included the paper effigies’ surveillance system within a radius of thousands of kilometers around Anshui City, a few paper effigies activated their immortal senses at the same time. They combined the information and projected it at the bottom of their hearts. The people sent by the Western Sect had nowhere to hide. They were discovered the moment they appeared. This time, there were very few experts sent by the Western Sect. There were even fewer existences that were at the level of Wen Jing and Jin Chanzi. Most of them were demons and some remnant demons of the deep sea.

Clearly, the Western Sect felt that it was easy to deal with the Magihumans.

In just three days, hundreds of demons had appeared hundreds of kilometers away from Anshui City.

A few demons who were good at hiding had already disguised themselves as mortals and approached the Sea God Temple to obtain intelligence. After thinking about it, Li Changshou decided to leave the battlefield outside the city. Otherwise, the mortals in Anshui City would definitely suffer huge casualties. Hence, Li Changshou secretly discussed with Ox-head and Horse-face, and decided to take the initiative to attack. On the fourth day, at dusk, the demons outside the city began to gather. They were probably preparing to launch a sneak attack at night. Li Changshou was determined to attack first. He first sent a voice transmission to Ox-head and Horse-face, telling them to turn a Golden Immortal paper effigy into the size of an Divine Envoy of Xiong Village. Then, he shouted for a few Divine Envoys. Five to six burly men swaggered out of the Sea God Temple and walked around the lively market outside.

After shopping for a while, Li Changshou stopped in front of a melon vendor who was disguised as a demon.

He bent down to pick up a huge melon and tapped it lightly with his fingers. The demon melon vendor reacted quickly. He smiled and said, “Lord, are you thirsty? Just take it and eat it. May the Sea God protect you.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

The blessing is wrong! Li Changshou sneered and said, “Is your melon definitely going to be ripe?” “Huh?”

“I’m asking you, is your melon definitely going to ripen!?”

The demon melon vendor was still confused.
