âYoung Master, I have done as you ordered!â
Before Feng Qingâan lay a palm-sized turtle shell. Not far away stood an obedient Gui Prime Minister, who seemed prepared for his next order.
âDid you catch it already?â
Feng Qingâan looked at the elderly turtle who had been gone for less than two hours and couldnât help but be surprised. It was hard to associate such swift efficiency with the ordinarily slow-paced Turtle Clan.
It was evident that the old turtle was not keen on taking the Water Mansion Monarch position, as if it was a hot potato instead of a position that could grant longevity and control over a river, implying the power of an Earth Spirit.
âThe Princess that you are looking for is in it, Young Master, you just need to lift the turtle plastron to see her!â
The youth glanced at him, lifted what appeared to be two shells joined together â even with visible holes â and suddenly, a streak of light rose from it. The moment it touched the ground, the Dragon Girl he had seen half a day ago appeared.
âWe meet again, Dragon Girl. I hope youâre well!â
Upon seeing the familiar and pleasing sight of the Dragon Girl, Feng Qingâan couldnât help but laugh. Her expressions shifted from panic to neutrality in a blink, making him find it rather amusing.
âDo you want me to be the Wave River Water Monarch?â
Jiang Yue examined her surroundings after escaping confinement, made sure she was in the Water Mansion, and forced herself to stay calm. Maybe things werenât as bad as she initially thought. Perhaps this man from the Human Race wasnât a dragon-slayer as she had imagined.
As the old turtle had said, he had only brought her here to fill the position of Water Mansion Monarch. Although it sounded strange, considering his status and identity, it made sense. He didnât want the role but also wasnât eager to let it go, hence he chose her.
âWho told you that?â
Hearing this, Feng Qingâanâs gaze immediately turned towards the old turtle whose eyes were shut tight, utterly disinterested in their conversation. âIf not so, then why have you brought me here? What are your intentions?â
Jiang Yue cautiously retreated half a step, gripping her Sundering Sea Sword in one hand, and hovering the other over its hilt in a vigilant manner, ready to
draw it at any moment.
âHahaha, naturally, itâs to see your faceâŠâ
Feng Qingâan couldnât help but laugh, initially about to provoke her but was interrupted by a faint sound of a phoenix chirping, instantly calming him. He fixed his facial expression, adopting a serious demeanor,
âLetâs talk business. The Water Mansion Monarch is not a status that can be granted lightly. Currently, you are just one of the candidates I plan to examine. Whether you will inherit it or not, depends on your performance hereafter!â
âIâm merely a candidate? In that case, please find someone more suitable, Young Master. I shall take my leave!â
After hearing Feng Qingâanâs words, Jiang Yue didnât waste any time in refusing, and prepared to leave after a brief bow.
âStop right there! Do you think you can come and go as you please?
Slightly enraged by the Dragon Girlâs lack of cooperation, Feng Qingâan slammed his hand on a desk, forcing her to halt. She turned reluctantly and said,
âYoung Master, it was you who forcefully brought me here, not my decision to come!â
âIf you are aware of that, why do you assume you can leave without my permission?â
Feng Qingâan snorted and no longer bothered to hide his intention,
âLet me tell you the truth. This position of Water Mansion Monarch, you have to give it everything youâve got and strive for it. There should be no pretending or moping. Or else, youâll have me to answer to!â
âBut I have no interest in the position of Water Mansion Monarch. You should know my background. If I wanted, I could have taken charge of a river by now!â
âThat might be your past decision, but why does it have anything to do with now? I donât care about your past choices!â
Feng Qingâan quickly took on a domineering attitude. The Dragon Girl would take the position whether she liked it or not.
He had no interest in wasting his time on this position and believed that this dragon girl, who was close to the Human Race, was the most suitable choice,
âYoung Master, you donât want to be the Water Mansion Monarch either, do you?â
Feng Qingâan glanced at the old turtle again, who seemed to have revealed his thoughts to the Dragon Clan quite thoroughly during his trip outside.
âSince youâre not willing, why force me? Isnât there a saying âdo not impose on others what you donât wish for yourselfâ? Donât you understand it?â
The Dragon Girlâs red dragon eyes looked slightly resentful. She also wanted to travel the world without being tied to a single river for an endless time. That would be too boring.
âSeems like you know quite a bit. However, you could at most be considered half a human. Therefore, itâs quite appropriate to impose things I donât want on you!â
âYouâŠâ
Jiang Yueâs expression momentarily hardened into one of anger after hearing Feng Qingâanâs words. However, it quickly returned to its neutral state.
âAlright, I know youâre angry and want to draw your sword to chop at me. But I advise you to face the reality.â
To give credibility to his words, Feng Qingâan uttered a low chant, and a golden light flew out from the old turtle.. It wound around his arm, its head raised towards the Dragon Girl as it roared,
