“General Qi, there’s something I need to tell you, and I beg you not to get angry,” Ao Qi stared attentively at Qi Chi’s expression.
Honestly, Qi Chi was in a good mood.
It was because the celebration for his newborn was finally drawing to a close.
Thanks to his efforts, the entire event went very smoothly. Although the mounts of the noblemen went missing now and then, with his prompt compensations, the outcomes were quite satisfying in the end.
“Please speak, Your Highness. Though I, Qi Chi, am of lesser status and humble capabilities, I am willing to serve you with the loyalty and labor of a dog and horse.”
What Qi Chi meant was: Enough with the pleasantries, I’m just a minor official, and I’m exhausted from overseeing this celebration. If you have something to say, say it quickly and hurry back to the Dragon Palace; let’s make this easy for both of us.
“It’s like this. When I was coming over from the Dragon Palace, my sister-in-law was worried that I’d find the journey boring, so she insisted on me bringing my niece, her daughter, along.”
Qi Chi, with his high EQ, responded with a smile: “The arrival of the Commandery Princess has brought brilliance to Wuhuan.”
Ao Qi said with a guilty conscience, “Cough, well, everything was fine at first, but the thing is, Ao Lian, she’s quite a character. That is to say, she’s a bit mischievous.”
Qi Chi continued to respond with high EQ: “Your Highness, dragons love to soar; the Commandery Princess’s bloodline is pure and her potential limitless.”
“Uh, more or less, the main issue is that I can’t find her now.”
Qi Chi:
“Your Highness, what did you say?”
“Cough, the Commandery Princess has been lost for a while.”
“How long exactly is ‘a while,’ Your Highness?”
“About a day, or maybe a day and a half, roughly.”
Qi Chi, with a smile, said, “Ah haha, with the cultivation level of the Commandery Princess, traveling a thousand miles in a day should be no problem, right?”
“Exactly, exactly.”
“Oh ho ho.”
Qi Chi’s face still wore a smile, but his fists were clenched tight!
A big, living dragon goes missing, and he’s only told about it a day later—did they really think he’d be able to find her that way?
What was supposed to be a successful end to the festivities, turned into the biggest blunder at the very last moment!
“Your Highness, I think we’d best hurry and start looking,” Qi Chi suggested.
Ao Qi, knowing he was at fault, could only say, “I’m not familiar with the area around Wuhuan, so I must rely entirely on you, General.”
Qi Chi took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, “Your Highness, just in case—I mean just in case—the Commandery Princess… doesn’t come back, then…”
Ao Qi said, “Then the next time the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Sect come to the Dragon Palace for a gathering, they will have the pleasure of feasting on dragon and shark meat.”
“Understood, subordinate will go attend to it now.”
A quarter of an hour later, the entire garrison of Wuhuan was mobilized.
Qi Chi himself led his Advisor, Left Vanguard General, and Right Vanguard General, all three Core Formation cultivators, straight to the Ming River!
Ao Lian could have gone anywhere, but they feared she might wander into the Human Race’s territory.
That was not a place for dragons to wander freely!
Dragons saw humans as weak.
Humans saw dragons, and cried tears of joy!
The ancestral temple of the Aquatic Tribe by the Ming River.
Qi Chi, leading his three subordinates, rushed over hastily.
One Nascent Soul, three Core Formations—their arrival alarmed all the masters of the Aquatic Tribe.
“Tun, my friend, it’s been days, yet it feels like years,” Qi Chi said to Tun Sheng with a smile as they greeted each other.
Seeing such a sincere display from the Sea Tribe, Tun Sheng returned the gesture, “Friend Qi, what brings you here?”
Qi Chi hurriedly said, “To be frank, my friend Tun, I’m here to ask for a favor.”
Tun Sheng, with a smile, repeated words Qi Chi had said before: “Friend Qi, you’re being too formal. We both belong to the Aquatic Tribe and should naturally help and support each other.”
Qi Chi didn’t care about Tun Sheng’s implied criticism; all he wanted now was to find the Dragon Clan’s Commandery Princess as quickly as possible!
“Friend Tun, tell me, which areas where the Human Race congregates in the Ming River territories would be more attractive to the younger members of our two clans?”
Which one? It’s definitely the Wuyue City flooded with Fishing Talismans!
Ruolin and the others from the Fish Heart grumbled internally.
Tun Sheng said, “If it’s nearby, then it must be Wuyue. However, it’s hard to say for certain, after all, there are many human cities and they’re pretty much all the same, any one would do.”
Qi Chi tugged at the corner of his mouth, how could he not know that the human cities were as numerous as stars in the sky? But if they couldn’t pinpoint Ao Lian’s exact location, searching like this would take half a year and still not be done!
“Fellow Tun, a youngster from our clan has mischievously gone missing. Could you see if it’s convenient to ask some of your clan’s Core Formation experts to join us and visit a few human cities?”
Tun Sheng then reiterated his own stance, “Fellow Qi, it’s not that I, Tun, do not wish to help you, I truly am powerless. Look at this great protective formation of our clan, which spot doesn’t need patching up? Our experts really can’t spare the time.”
Forget it, forget it, there’s no use counting on others.
Qi Chi sighed inwardly, gave Tun Sheng a cupped fist salute, and immediately led his three Core Formation subordinates, along with himself, splitting into four groups to conduct a carpet search of the cities near the Ming River at the greatest speed!
Even if this would alarm the Immortal Sect, they couldn’t care less at this point.
Alarming the Immortal Sect was, worst-case scenario, a matter of explaining themselves and exchanging courtesies. If they couldn’t find Ao Lian, Qi Chi would end up as shark fin in a shark fin soup!
Above Wuyue, Qi Chi deployed his Nascent Soul Stage Divine Sense with a do-or-die attitude and started scanning the entire Wuyue!
Meanwhile, at the Wuyue Residence.
He, holding Ao Lian’s hand, knocked on the door of Jiang Cheng’s home.
Liu Qing heard the noise and stood up from the balcony, then suddenly sensed something and looked back at the sky behind her.
Seems like a little Nascent Soul is recklessly using Divine Sense.
Liu Qing slightly expanded her own Divine Sense, enveloping the entire Wuyue Residence like applying a layer of invisibility coating, then dismissed it from her mind.
The little fish was too weak; she had no interest in even greeting it.
Liu Qing opened the door to see Bai Xiaohe and Ao Lian, who was holding Bai Xiaohe’s hand.
She looked down curiously at Ao Lian, while Ao Lian, as if seeing a monster, suddenly clung to Bai Xiaohe’s thigh and wouldn’t let go.
From Liu Qing, Ao Lian felt a pressure stronger than her Dragon King grandfather’s.
A fear of bloodline suppression rose from the bottom of her heart.
Wuu! This pretty sister is so scary!
Bai Xiaohe, now clutching her thigh, felt a bit awkward.
After all, she had to take leave and bring her here because the little girl kept calling for Jiang Cheng.
“Please come in,” said Liu Qing.
He smiled politely, then walked into the apartment with Ao Lian.
“Jiang Cheng? Jiang Cheng?”
Jiang Cheng was engrossed in thinking about how to efficiently preset programs within the Smart Puppet Talisman, but before he could grasp the concept, he was awakened by He’s calls.
“He? What brings you here?”
Bai Xiaohe thought to herself: Actually, I’ve always been free, you just never called me!
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng, Bai Xiaohe didn’t forget the purpose of her visit.
She pulled Ao Lian off her leg and pushed her in front of Jiang Cheng, saying, “Do you recognize her?”
Jiang Cheng glanced at Ao Lian and shook his head blankly.
“Jiang Cheng?” Ao Lian called out cautiously.
“Yes, that’s me,” Jiang Cheng responded politely.
“This.” Ao Lian held up the Fishing Talisman.
“I drew it.”
“It resembles.”
“Resembles what?”
“Song of Tides.”
