Three years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and the scenery by the mouth of the Guanjiang River is beautiful.
The spring breeze is blowing, the green grass is green, orioles are singing, and a group of immature children are playing on the shore. They are full of curiosity about the world. If they encounter small insects or foreign objects, they may pick them up and put them in their mouths without thinking to taste the saltiness. .
On this long river bank, children can occasionally be seen accidentally falling into the water, and then tumbling in the water for a while. Then mysterious shrimps, soldiers and crabs will quietly appear, gently lift them ashore, and carefully brush away the water droplets on their bodies with magic power. .
When the children slowly woke up, their initial panic caused them to unconsciously stay away from the water.
The children around him were full of curiosity about this sudden "water guard", and they all came forward to touch the armor with strange luster and the huge shrimp and crab claws. What's more, they mustered up the courage to take a bite, but unexpectedly... The hardness was too high and the teeth fell out, causing a burst of childish cries and laughter from the people around.
Faced with this scene, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals felt helpless and amused. When the parents of the children came to hear the news and thanked them profusely, they dived back into the water and continued to work silently.
Not far away, Chen Fei quietly witnessed all this, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of apology and emotion in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Ao Cunxin, the third princess of the West Sea, who was wearing fiery red clothes and extremely beautiful.
“Third Princess, Xihai’s generous help this time not only ensured the smooth completion of the dam project, but also ensured its excellent quality.
On behalf of the True Lord and everyone else, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you and these ten thousand brave soldiers and generals. After discussion, we have decided that you and your soldiers should be given the rewards they deserve. I don’t know what you need or what you need. desire?"
Hearing this, Ao Cunxin waved her hands quickly with a gentle but firm smile: "Since we are friends, there is no need to say thank you. It is the duty of friends to support each other."
Chen Fei's eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate the dust of the years, staring at this dragon girl who, although she was hundreds of years old, still maintained the innocence and persistence of a girl.
Everyone knows that Ao Cunxin's admiration for Zhenjun has long been beyond words, and that deep love is like the light in her eyes, hot and pure.
Although the word "licking the dragon" is a joke, it also appropriately depicts Ao Cunxin's pure and persistent love.
And he knew very well that his position was just that of a steward. Faced with Zhenjun's attitude of neither rejecting nor making a clear statement, he naturally knew how to use his discretion and would not say much.
So, he turned to Ao Cunxin and said sincerely: "Third Princess, your friendship with us is profound, so there is no need to say anything.
But those soldiers and generals, their hard work and dedication over the years, even if they have not achieved great achievements, cannot be ignored. If this goes on for a long time without any compensation, I am afraid that even if I obey your order, I will inevitably feel a little unfair in my heart.
Therefore, I have a suggestion. You may wish to pass it on. For those ten thousand soldiers and generals who are willing to stay at Guanjiang estuary, I can arrange suitable positions for them in the water system based on their cultivation. From the noble Minjiang Water God There is everything you need, right down to the junior officials at the grassroots level.
As for remuneration, Third Princess, you must know that our priesthood in Guanjiangkou is among the best in the Three Realms with its generous benefits."
Hearing this, Ao Cunxin nodded slightly, with a hint of indifference on his face: "I will handle this matter properly and notify you in place."
She has lived in affluence since she was a child, and has never lacked resources for cultivation, but she is not very interested in it, and she is not willing to devote all her energy to cultivation like her brothers in order to change the fate of the Dragon Clan.
For her, those external rewards and resources are far less important than inner peace and freedom.
Furthermore, she knew that the loyalty and admiration of those shrimp soldiers and crabs to the Dragon Clan came from the surrender and belief from the bottom of their hearts, and could never be shaken by mere treatment. Of course, she also understood that there are always exceptions to everything in the world, and maybe there are only a few.
Individuals will choose to accept this new opportunity for various reasons.
But she believes that they are only a minority, and the hearts of most of the water tribe are still closely tied to the dragon tribe.
The two of them continued to chat in a vast space, and Chen Fei was full of endless reveries about the life of the Dragon Clan.
You must know that in this vast three realms, the total area of the four seas, together with the streams and lakes scattered all over the place, is several times the land of the four continents. This can't help but make him think about how the Dragon Clan must be as the rulers of these waters.
of opulence and luxury?
Is it true that dragons eat with gold bowls and silver chopsticks, and even the daily use of the toilet is resplendent and noble?
"Hey, Third Princess, I've always been curious, what do you Dragon Clan drink on a daily basis, is it the clear fresh water or the slightly salty sea water?" Chen Fei asked curiously.
Hearing this, Ao Cunxin smiled slightly and asked, "Guess, do the fish in the sea drink fresh water or sea water?"
Chen Fei thought for a while and answered affirmatively: "Of course it is sea water! However, sea water is so salty, won't you feel uncomfortable when you drink it?"
Ao Cunxin shook his head gently and explained: "Habits become natural, and besides, our Dragon Clan has its own magic method. I grew up in the Dragon Palace since I was a child, and I was born with the secret of avoiding water. What I drink every day is pure water from the spiritual spring deep in the sea.
, sweet and refreshing.”
When Chen Fei heard this, he couldn't help but admired: "That's it. No wonder your skin is still so white even if you bathe in the sun every day. It's really enviable."
Ao Cunxin's cheeks were slightly reddened by his sudden compliment, but her heart was filled with sweetness, like a flower blooming in spring, bright and moving.
As we all know, one of the secrets of interacting with girls is to give sincere compliments at the right time. This can not only shorten the distance between each other, but also allow friendship or love to grow quietly inadvertently.
Suddenly, the water surface seemed to be gently moved by invisible hands, and countless streams of light pierced the air, quickly surrounding Ao Cunxin, and the momentum was menacing, like an iron wall and a copper wall, surrounding her.
"Marshal Shrimp, what do you mean by this?!" Ao Cunxin frowned, her eyes as bright as a torch, looking directly at the general wearing fiery red armor and a shrimp-shaped helmet, with undoubted majesty in her tone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Marshal Xi's voice is low and hoarse, with an irresistible chill: "Third Princess, I have been ordered by the Dragon King of the West Sea to arrest you.
This treacherous traitor who secretly colludes with foreign enemies will escort you back to the Dragon Palace and sentence you to ten thousand years of confinement."
Ao Cunxin's eyes turned red instantly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she forced them not to fall. She asked eagerly: "How is my father...how is he?"
Marshal Xia's face was expressionless and his tone was cold: "The Dragon King has an order and I don't want to see you again. This matter is entirely left to me to handle."
Hearing this, Ao Cunxin felt a twinge of pain in her heart and murmured to herself: "He... doesn't even want to see me..."
Marshal Xi had no time to pay attention to the dragon princess's complaints and struggles. He waved his hand and ordered in a cold voice: "Take it down!"
At this critical moment, Chen Fei stepped forward and shouted: "Stop! I am here, who dares to make a mistake!"
"My god?" Marshal Xi glanced at Chen Fei with disdain, as if he heard some joke, "Huh, what kind of god are you?"
Chen Fei snorted coldly and said with awe-inspiring aura: "Marshal Xi? Your eyes are really blinded! What are you staring at?! This god is Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun, His Highness Yang Jian, the chief steward in front of the palace, fourth-level divine book!"
Marshal Xi looked Chen Fei up and down, and curled his lips slightly. Although he felt disdain in his heart, he did not dare to make mistakes easily due to Yang Jian's reputation.
He thought to himself, a mere fourth-grade divine being dared to show off his power here. If not for Yang Jian's support, he would be the mighty Marshal of the West Sea Army, commanding 50,000 shrimp soldiers. Every spittle from a shrimp could drown this thing alive.
"Oh? It turns out that he is the chief steward of His Highness Yang Jian. I am disrespectful. However, this is our internal affairs in Xihai. I hope that the chief steward will not interfere." Marshal Xia was polite on the surface, but in fact he was hiding a sharp edge. "Come on! Remember, don't get hurt.
He killed the chief steward!"
"Yes!" The shrimp soldiers responded and approached Ao Cunxin again.
A storm seems about to break out.
Suddenly, the entire space seemed to be pressed by an invisible giant hand, the ground sank suddenly, and an unprecedented gravity swept over, binding everyone tightly and unable to move.
There is a sense of depression and solemnity in the air, which makes people feel awe.
At this moment, a calm yet majestic voice, like the sound of nature, gently sounded in the heart of every living being: "[It is forbidden here, and those who violate it will be punished!]"
Although the voice was soft, it contained unquestionable determination and killing intent, making people shudder.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling white light pierced the sky, and finally settled on the shore. A figure stood with his hands behind his back, his back to everyone, and his posture was as tall and straight as a mountain.
On his shoulder, a little yellow cat was lying leisurely on its back, with its limbs hanging upside down, sleeping soundly. Its delicate and cute appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
When Chen Fei saw this, he quickly bowed and saluted, his attitude was extremely respectful: "Greetings to the true king! Greetings to Mr. Le"
Hearing this, Marshal Xia's body trembled involuntarily. After a moment of silence, he managed to squeeze out a voice, with a hint of unwillingness and fear in his tone: "Zhenjun, this... this is our family affair in the West Sea. You are like this."
Interfering, it seems...it doesn't seem to be in line with the rules."
Yang Jian ignored it.
When Chen Fei saw this, he felt proud, straightened his back, and looked at Marshal Xia provocatively: "Our True Lord will never say his words a second time. If you are not convinced, you can give it a try?"
The shrimp soldiers looked at each other in shock, not daring to take a breath, let alone make any move.
When Chen Fei saw this, he became even more arrogant. He stretched out his fingers and made a slight hook, with a playful smile on his lips, interpreting the four words "a fox pretends to be a tiger's power" vividly.
"You...come here!"
Marshal Xia gritted his teeth and his eyes wandered back and forth between Ao Cunxin and Zhenjun. Finally, he made up his mind and said to Ao Cunxin: "Third Princess, the Dragon King only gives you this chance. Either come back with me and accept the confinement, or give up."
Your dragon status will no longer have anything to do with the West Sea!"
Hearing this, Ao Cunxin slowly turned his head and looked deeply at the back of the True Lord on the bank of the river.
The afterglow of the sunset slanted across his profile, outlining a heart-stirring outline. Those eyes seemed to contain endless tenderness and firmness, making her involuntarily intoxicated.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and a subtle emotion filled the air.
However, just when the atmosphere was about to reach a boiling point, Marshal Xi waved his hand gently and said in a deep voice: "Withdraw!"
Following his order, countless shrimp soldiers jumped into the water one after another, turning into red waves and quickly disappearing from people's sight.
Upon seeing this, Chen Fei quickly stepped forward and picked up the sleeping little yellow cat, Le Ye, and then quietly said goodbye to Zhenjun, and then left quietly.
Under the setting sun, the two figures gradually came closer, as if the whole world had stopped.
...
Time flies, and the spring and autumn years are like a dream, fleeting.
The winter night is deep, the cold wind whispers, and the Yang Mansion is quiet and long.
Ao Cunxin slowly woke up from her deep sleep. The coldness around her made her shiver, and then something strange arose in her heart - the figure who was always by her side was not at her bedside tonight.
"Where is Brother Yang?" She whispered to herself, put on a fiery red robe, opened the door, and stepped into the silver-clad winter night.
The moonlight shines like a ray of light, filling the sky and the earth, and the snow-covered courtyard looks even more cold and unconventional.
Suddenly, a melodious flute sound floated from the depths of the garden, penetrating the silence of the night, as if it could wash away the dust in the world.
The sound of the flute is sometimes high-pitched and exciting, like the breeze blowing through the forest in the mountains; sometimes it is low and gentle, dancing with the flying snow. It contains a touch of emotion for the vicissitudes of the world, but it also reveals a kind of free and uninhibited detachment from the world.
Ao Cunxin was deeply attracted by the sound of the flute. He involuntarily slowed down his steps until he stopped completely and listened carefully.
Following the sound, she came to the garden, and saw Yang Jian standing in the pavilion by the pond, dressed in white and snowy, leaning on the railing and blowing, with a focused and gentle expression.

The song ended and the sound of the flute stopped suddenly. Yang Jian turned around and showed a warm smile to Ao Cunxin: "It's late at night, why are you still awake?"
Ao Cunxin looked up at the bright moon and said, half jokingly and half seriously: "Brother Yang, are you still here admiring the moon so late? Are you missing sister Chang'e?"
Yang Jian chuckled lightly, with no emotion in his eyes: "Chang'e's beauty is appreciated by the whole world, but I only appreciate her coldness and nobility, and I don't like married women. The other fairies in Guanghan Palace have their own merits."
When Ao Cunxin heard this, her face changed slightly, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears came out of her eyes: "Brother Yang, I gave up everything for you, betrayed Xihai, and gave my body and soul to you, why do you still have to be distracted by other women?
Is there something I didn’t do well enough?”
Yang Jian shook his head slightly and said indifferently: "Many men in the world have the desire to have three wives and four concubines. This is not unusual, even the Jade Emperor is no exception.
And all of this is your own volition, and I have never forced you to do so. If you really want to return to the West Sea, I can also help you to make the Dragon Clan of the West Sea surrender, and then you will be the Lord of the West Sea."
Ao Cunxin heard the words and was speechless for a moment, with all kinds of mixed feelings in his heart.
After a moment of silence, she wiped away her tears and forced out a smile: "Brother Yang, what you said just now is just an innocent joke. You are the only one in my heart, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you, no matter what."
"Oh, me too." Yang Jian responded calmly, then took out his fishing rod and started fishing as if nothing had happened.
Ao Cunxin still had doubts in her heart and asked tentatively: "Brother Yang, am I really the only one in your heart?"
Yang Jian smiled slightly and nodded to confirm: "Yes today."
