âWhat? Why are you glaring at me? If you want to fight me, you can try. Your elder brother was just defeated by me a while ago. You shouldnât want to follow in his footsteps, right?â
Facing the substantial fury in the Dragon Girlâs eyes, Feng Qingâan not only showed no fear, but instead began to threaten the newly appointed Water Monarch. His unreserved oppressive demeanor suggested he wasnât at all concerned about ner.
The old turtle who witnessed this scene couldnât help but sigh. However, it remained silent. The soldiers of the Water Mansion, standing not far away, bowed their heads in humiliation as they watched their new Monarch being publicly humiliated.
They knew who held actual authority in the Wave River Water Mansion. Even though the new Water Monarch had taken control of the water flow, what then? The previous Monarch, whose strength was far superior, had disappeared overnight.
âYou said you were just keeping it temporarily!â
The Dragon Girl hadnât forgotten Feng Qingâanâs initial words.
âIndeed, I did say that. But that depended on your inability to take on the role of Water Monarch. I was holding it on behalf of you. Now youâre in control of the water vein, donât you know its value? In order to help you successfully integrate with the water vein, weâve arrested countless large beasts. Havenât you kept track?â
Feng Qingâan looked at the Dragon Girl with ease.
âA sword for a thousand-mile river, you made a huge profit. Donât be ungrateful!â
âThatâs my sword! I never agreed to this exchange!â
âBut the deal is already made. Now tell me, why should I hand over this grand river to you? What are you to me? From a lineage perspective, you are a blood relative of my sworn enemy. I accepted merely a sword from you and even offered you the position of Water Monarch. You should show gratitude instead of glaring at me!â
Feng Qingâan spoke with justified indignation. Even though he didnât want to be the Water Monarch of the Wave River, it didnât mean the position had no value. Many monstrous beasts would risk their lives to vie for it. If he werenât holding the fort down at the river, it wouldâve already been overrun with bloodshed.
âI never said I wanted to be the Water Monarch. You forcibly brought me here!â
Jiang Yue felt utterly wronged for the first time since leaving the Dragon Palace. How could there be such unreasonable people in this world?
The thing that frustrated her the most was that despite undergoing a metamorphosis, she was still no match for him. The situation of being like a fish on a cutting board, vulnerable to manipulation, hadnât changed at all.
âBut youâve already integrated with the water vein. So be happy about the benefits youâve reaped. This sword is neither here nor there for you. After all, its most significant use was to facilitate your escape. But now that you are the Water Monarch, there is no need to flee. Keeping it is a waste. You should give it to me!â
âGive it back to me!â
The Dragon Girl glared at Feng Qingâan. Her tone didnât carry much determination, instead sounding somewhat wronged.
The confidence boosted by her promotion dissipated in the face of Feng Qingâanâs laid-back attitude. Her logic told her that even if she initiated a fight, there was little hope of winning. It would only bring her embarrassment.
âFine!â
Seeing that the Dragon Girl couldnât be reasoned with, Feng Qingâan stopped attempting to do so. He gestured, and the divine sword with the Azure Dragon Wrapped Sword Hilt appeared in his hand.
âSince you insist this is your sword, why donât you call it and see if it responds?â
âYouâŠâ
Looking at the Sundering Sea Sword in Feng Qingâanâs hand, which felt familiar and yet somewhat strange, the Dragon Girl looked it over a few times, then shook her head. âThis is not my sword!â
âRight, itâs not your sword!â
Feng Qingâan looked at Jiang Yue with some surprise before breaking into a laugh. The power ot the divine weapon was still present, but the dominant spirituality had been devoured and replaced.
âYour target all along was my Sundering Sea Sword!â
The Dragon Girl watched Feng Qingâan closely, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the Golden Scaled Flood Dragon coiling around him.
This realization had come to her long ago, though she harbored unreal hopes in her heart. Upon seeing Feng Qingâanâs attitude today, she abandoned all illusions.
âYou want to collect the Nine Kings of the Desolate Sea weapons!â
âCorrect. I currently have that intention.â
Feng Qingâan nodded, openly admitting it.
When he first learned about the nine King weapons scattered across the world that originated from the same source, he had no intention of collecting them all. Who knew their whereabouts? The energy and effort required to find them wouldnât be worth it.
However, after acquiring three divine weapons, Feng Qingâan could get a rough sense of where the six other weapons might be. If they were closer, he could even pinpoint their exact location. This sparked his idea.
Since there was a possibility of gathering all the weapons, why not try? What if he succeeded? Also, each Dragon Clan divine weapon could perfectly replenish the spirituality of the Bright Dragon. Who wouldnât want more of that?
âIn your eyes, what am I, really?â
Looking at Feng Qingâan, the Dragon Girl suddenly laughed. It was a laugh filled with bitter reflection and self-pity. She thought herself greatly wronged.
âI initially aimed for the Sundering Sea Sword in your possession. I planned to forcefully seize it and eliminate you, a potential threat in the process. But when I found out you were a Half-Human Half-Dragon and closer to the Human
Race, I changed my mind!â
âSo, because you didnât want to be the Water Monarch, you forced me to take up the role!â
âSmart!â
Reflecting on her experiences during this period, the Dragon Girlâs feelings were mixed. The title of Water Monarch, which many beasts dreamed of, had been forced onto her.
âThen, I must thank you for sparing my life!â
