Translator: 549690339
“In this Water Mansion, you must assume any pose I wish to see you in, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to happily oblige and please me!” “Cough! Young Master, please watch your words and actions!”
Hearing Feng Qing’an’s unrestrained words, the old Gui Prime Minister can’t help but cough to remind him.
“Oh, the Prime Minister still knows how to speak. If you don’t speak, I would have mistaken you for a statue!”
The old Gui instantly fell silent. Who could blame him? He wanted to quickly welcome a qualified Water Monarch, so he revealed some secrets to the Dragon Girl in advance, which upset the young master who was temporarily filling the position of Water Monarch.
“Tell me, what’s your name!”
Feng Qing’an sat on the jade platform, looking condescendingly at the expressionless Dragon Girl.
In the palace built by the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Girl, who barely differed from the Humans in shape and posture, appeared frail and delicate, inviting pity.
“Jiang Yue! ”
Being in an unwanted place and being forced to do something she didn’t want to do, the Dragon Girl’s voice was cold, silently expressing her attitude.
“Jiang Yue? Your surname is Jiang! But that old dragon does not have the surname Jiang!”
“I took my mother’s surname!”
“Your mother’s surname? Would that old dragon agree to that? ”
The influence of the Human Race pervades every aspect. Naturally, the complex relationship between the Dragon Clan and the Human Race is also deeply influenced. Children mostly take their father’s surname, and usually, only the sons and daughters married into the wife’s family are surnamed after their mother. Feng Qing’an didn’t believe that the old dragon wasn’t aware of this rule.
“I changed my name when I left the Dragon Palace!”
“So what was your original name?”
“I forgot!”
Jiang Yue responded with an expressionless face.
Feng Qing’an stared at the Dragon Girl, even noticing the fine scales on her cheeks. But what he saw clearer was the refusal reflected in her vertical pupils that blazed like flames. “Was your mother a human?”
“Yes!”
“But according to my knowledge, the old Cangjiang dragon was slain by my elder brother for enjoying human flesh. Is this news false?”
This was what surprised Feng Qing’an the most after he realized that the Dragon Girl was a Half-Human Half-Dragon.
“No, it’s true. My mother was defiled by that wicked dragon due to an accident, thus I was born. I was the only human my mother was able to save from being eaten by that wicked dragon because I was inside her.”
“Where is your mother now?”
“She has passed away!”
The Dragon Girl said softly, her eyes filled with endless sadness,
“Before I had grown up, she aged and died in my arms!”
Feng Qing’an was shocked and then suddenly realized.
Yes, how could a human life be compared to that of a dragon? Even inheriting half the bloodline of the Dragon Clan would greatly increase one’s lifespan. Therefore, very few mothers could see their children grow up.
“How old are you now?”
Despite his deep feelings, looking at the Dragon Girl who seemed to be in her twenties, but appeared to be not fully grown, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help asking.
“…less than three hundred years!”
The Dragon Girl’s eyes, which had been filled with sadness, suddenly blazed with palpable anger. She glared at Feng Qing’an, answering in curt phrases. “At this age, according to Dragon Clan, are you considered old or young?”
Feng Qing’an initially wanted to exclaim how old she was, but he thought it would be unfair to judge a purebred Dragon Clan member by the humans’ age. “According to the standards of your Human Race, I’m still an adolescent!”
“Are you that young?”
Feng Qing’an was slightly stunned looking at the Dragon Girl. She appeared young, yet she actually was still considered young. A Dragon Clan girl less than three hundred years old?
The innate advantages of the Dragon Clan were truly enviable! “As you’ve said, I’m only half-human!”
“Alright, tell me, how long have you lived amongst humans!”
“I don’t remember!”
“Approximately how long? “Two to three Jiazi!”
“That sure is long.”
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but gasp,
“So, you lived in the underwater Dragon Palace as a child, and when your mother died, you were able to live independently. Afterwards, you chose to roam the human world, constantly changing identities, right?”
The Dragon Girl nodded silently,
“That’s enough, go rest for now!”
Feng Qing’an waved off, it wasn’t necessary to ask further. Feng Qing’an knew this half-human half-dragon’s preferences and choices between the human and dragon races.
How the Dragon Girl felt about the Human Race was quite clear, even calling her biological father a wicked dragon. Her attitude towards the Dragon Clan can thus be inferred. As for the Human Race, it’s also pretty obvious.
“Old Gui, arrange for her!”
“Yes, young master!”
Gui Prime Minister walked to Dragon Girl’s side, with an attitude of respect, much like a long-serving old butler. This made Feng Qing’an miss his own old butler, but what wasn’t his, ultimately wasn’t his.
That night, a green divine light stirred the river, shooting up into the sky, but the surrounding wild wind had just begun to gather, and the patterns of the turtle plastron appeared in the sky, reversing everything, and the organized wild wind dispersed instantly. “Your Highness, you should rest!”
“Won’t you let me go?”
“This river needs a suitable ruler, and you are the most suitable.”
The next day
Feng Qing’an cheerfully looked at the cold-faced Dragon Girl. He had seen everything that happened last night. He had to say, the Dragon Girl’s unyielding spirit of resistance was quite impressive. The only thing he was a little annoyed at was that the Dragon Girl was resisting him.
Faced with Feng Qing’an’s taunting full of ridicule, Jiang Yue looked over expressionlessly.
“As long as you carry the Sundering Sea Sword, you can’t escape from the palm of my hand. There is a connection between the divine weapons. I already control two divine weapons, so, wherever you run, I know where you are!”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Jiang Yue pursed her lips, with a flicker in her eyes. She finally understood why she had been captured so easily twice in a row.
Turns out what she regarded as a reliance for escape was simply an advantage for others to pinpoint her location.
“As long as you carry this sword, you can’t escape forever. If you abandon this sword, you won’t even have the ability to escape from the Water Mansion!”
Feng Qing’an surveyed the Dragon Girl, who possessed a different style, inspecting the minute changes in her facial expression. Even if she tried to suppress it, some small expressions and movements were hard to hide. They were sub-conscious gestures formed from long-term living conditions. “What will it be? Is the decision tough? Not sure what to do?”
“What do you want me to do?”
Jiang Yue felt that she could no longer take it. She wanted to get angry but had to force herself to calm down because she didn’t have the privilege to vent here, just like she was in the Dragon Palace of Cangjiang, no matter how much grievance or unrest she felt, she could only hold it in.
“Hahaha, too amusing!”
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but burst into laughter. After laughing, he beckoned the Dragon Girl over,
“Come here!”
Such a casual gesture made Dragon Girl furrow her eyebrows.
“Are you sure you want to resist me here? If you do, the one who will be embarrassed won’t be me.”
Suppressing her anger, Jiang Yue walked up to the desk in front of Feng Qing’an, only to see the young man casually push a pile of jade discs stacked like a small mountain in front of him towards her,
“From now on, these are all your responsibilities. You are my deputy, and you are to handle all matters in the river. If anything goes wrong, I will hold only you responsible!”
“What did you just say?
Jiang Yue was somewhat stunned. What is a deputy? In all her wanderings among humans, she had never heard of any river having a deputy.
“Whatever order you give, you can pass it to this old turtle. He will pass it on for you. If any of the water clan disobeyed your order and this old turtle can’t resolve it, let me know!”
“Didn’t you say I am just a candidate for the water lordship?”
Looking at the jade discs in front of her, Jiang Yue found it hard to believe. The power to rule the river was just tossed before her like child’s play.
“Of course, so to quickly get rid of the candidate status, after handling these matters, you have to set aside a certain amount of time every day to merge with the water veins!”
As he spoke, Feng Qing’an got up and walked to Dragon Girl’s side. When Dragon Girl was still in a state of surprise, he pulled away the Dragon Sword she wore at her waist,
“In exchange, I’ll hold onto your sword for a while!”
