For example, when demon beasts born in the branches of the river caused disturbances to the local human production and reproduction, the local populace would pray to the River Water Monarch who governs the Wave River.
Since the previous River Monarch had diligently served for hundreds of years, the local people’s sacrificial offerings often have effect. Thus, whenever there were anomalies in the river, the people’s first response was still to offer incense.
But for Feng Qing’an, who now controls the Wave River, this was nothing short of torment. The sprawling thousands of miles of the river gave birth to countless tributaries, each infested with water ghosts and monsters. Just how
many were there?
Although these issues might seem trivial for the ruler of a river, Feng Qing’an, who was once human himself, knew that these small things in the eyes of the Earth Spirits could indeed threaten human lives if not promptly dealt with.
“Isn’t there an agency set up to handle these things? Was your previous River
Monarch that diligent, personally handling everything for hundreds of years?”
“Of course not, minor issues like these were previously handled by officials!” Explained the Gui Prime Minister.
“Then why are you dumping all these on me? Where are the officials who were responsible for handling these matters?” “They ran away!”
The old turtle of benevolence laughed heartily.
Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but rub his forehead. It was unrealistic to have high expectations of the water clan’s intellect. Most of the water creatures underwent a natural transformation due to a fortuitous encounter with an abundance of Spiritual Qi, and their wisdom was forced to level up as a result.
Of course, there were smart creatures in the water clan. But those appointed by the former River Monarch had already fled after he was killed. The only ones left, waiting for him to reach the Water Mansion, could scarcely be considered clever.
“Can’t you help me deal with some of them? Do you really need to dump all these things on me?”
Feng Qing’an glared at the old turtle, he knew that the only reason it stayed was that it thought it was indispensable.
“Son, it’s a bit disheartening to hear you say this. I’ve already taken care of so many chores for you behind your back. You just have to sign and go, but the actual execution and ordering the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to work properly is all me.”
On hearing this, the Gui Prime Minister suddenly looked aggrieved, as if crystalline tears were accumulating in his wrinkly eyes, which made Feng Qing’an feel a headache coming.
“Alright alright, I understand that you Minister, are hardworking and meritorious. In this case, I’ll assign you a more relaxing job, go take a walk for a change!”
“Hm?”
Upon hearing this, the Gui Prime Minister immediately became alert and cautiously raised his hand, with fingers crossed, he made a bow,
“May I ask what task the young master has arranged for me?” “A small task that allows the Minister to take a leisure stroll!”
Feng Qing’an said with a smile.
The Dragon Girl is after all a high-ranking demon, regardless of Dragon Armor or Sen Miao, even if they join forces, they are not confident of capturing her alive. After all, she had a divine weapon in her hand, making dealing with her quite troublesome if she was intent on escaping.
But it was okay, he had this handy old turtle by his side, if not now, when should he use it?
When a Monarch faces a Lord, even with the boost from blood lineage, unless the gap between their bloodline was drastically large, there would still be a one-sided oppression.
“Please be frank, young master!”
At this moment, the old turtle could no longer laugh. Hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, it was visibly anxious.
“Alright, I’ve met the next River Monarch of our Wave River. However, it seems she has some misunderstandings about me, so I’d like the Prime Minister to invite her back on my behalf, so I can clarify things with her!”
“The next River Monarch?”
As soon as he heard Feng Qing’an’s words, the old turtle’s face turned eerie. He just discussed with it about meeting a suitable candidate for the River Monarch, and within moments of going out, he claimed to have found one. Wasn’t it too soon?
And the so-called “invitation”, wasn’t that essentially him wanting the turtle to bind the person and bring them back? As a loyal old minister, if he employs such means against the real next River Monarch, would there be any good outcome for him?
“Indeed, but I don’t know enough about her yet. I want to ask her a few things to be sure. This matter might be urgent and can’t be delayed. So, Prime
Minister, please set off as soon as possible and don’t waste any more time!” Feng Qing’an urged.
“Please calm down, young master. You haven’t told me the name and the background of this Water Monarch you’ve taken a fancy to. Shouldn’t I know these details?”
“Ask those questions on your way. Now, you should be on your way!”
With that, Feng Qing’an took off his Bright Dragon Armor and threw it on the old turtle. Without any explanation, he threw the old turtle out of the Water Mansion.
“If you can’t find the person and return alone, I’ll presume you want to take the position of the Water Monarch!”
Feng Qing’an bluntly threatened. When the old turtle heard this, he immediately made a promise to Feng Qing’an,
“I will definitely not let down the young master’s trust and will bring back the next Water Monarch as soon as possible!”
“Good!”
Seeing this old turtle, with his kindly appearance. If he removed his shell, he could even pass for an immortal. Seeing his cooperation, Feng Qing’an nodded in satisfaction.
As long as this old turtle doesn’t slack off and is willing to cooperate, with the guidance of the Bright Dragon Armor, he should quickly be able to bring back the Dragon Girl. By then, he can be relieved from his busy role as the Water Monarch.
The very moment that the old turtle from Wave River emerged from the water, a thin and tall figure, exuding nobility and elegance, rode a violent wave and landed in a rarely visited forest, causing birds and beasts to scatter, and magical creatures that possess intelligence to shrink back, trembling in fear.
“No one followed?”
Feeling the nearing exhaustion of her spiritual Qi, the Dragon Girl looked back, confirming no one followed and with a sigh of relief, a strong gust of wind was created, allowing her to relax slightly.
“As expected, those humans were just trying to scare me, they can’t catch up with me. If I meditate for a bit and recover my spiritual Qi, I should leave this place, the further the better!”
Having made up her mind, Jiang Yue started to meditate to recover. However, when her spiritual Qi had recovered more than half, her mind suddenly trembled. She immediately opened her eyes only to see a rosy-cheeked, youthful-looking old man, looking at her kindly.
In that moment, Jiang Yue felt chills. She hadn’t noticed anyone there before at all. Even now, seeing him, she couldn’t feel his presence, as if he was just an illusion.
“Your Highness, you can continue meditating and to fully recover your spiritual Qi; I will protect you,” said the old man.
Right when Jiang Yue was about to grab the Sundering Sea Sword to run, she heard the old man speak in a warm voice.
“What did you call me?”
Jiang Yue was slightly puzzled as she hadn’t heard this address for a while. This address reminded her of some unpleasant experiences in her early years. Even though it was a respectful address, those who used to call her so didn’t hold much respect for her in their eyes. “Your Highness!”
“Are you from Cangjiang Dragon Palace?”
“I am the Prime Minister of the Wave River Mansion!” “Wave River, then why do you call me like that?”
The Dragon Girl frowned, failing to understand.
“The young master has appointed you as the next Water Monarch of Wave River Mansion. Since you haven’t taken the position yet, I address you as Your Highness!”
“Young master? Water Monarch of Wave River?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue immediately understood. A monstrous wave rose, and just as she harnessed it to fly away, she felt an indescribable force descend that suppressed all the wild wind stirred up by her divine weapon in an instant. “Your Highness, that’s not how the Sundering Sea Sword is used!”
A sigh was heard, and a massive shadow enveloped her. Turtle plastrons above and below blocked everything, leaving her nowhere to escape..
