Chapter 342: Chapter 291 We are All Loyal_1

"Administer justice? What justice?" Ao Shuying asked in confusion, furrowing her eyebrows, "Did justice come to my bed?"

Poyang Turtle Prime Minister, bowed his head in submission, "They claim that recently due to Earl Jingan, Jiang Yunqi’s son-in-law Li Xuan’s fondness for golden abalone, Dragon Alligators, and Water Pythons, these creatures are being hunted everywhere to please Jiang Yunqi, this heavenly level divine doctor. As the leaders of their clans, they had no choice but to resort to such a tactic and requested the Lord to administer justice.

However, I dismissed them, stating that the Lord does not have the time and asked them to return at a later date. As for how Earl Jingan ended up on your bed, I have no idea——"

He dared not admit that it was due to his complacency that those three had managed to sneak into Ao Shuying’s sleeping quarters.

Ao Shuying raised her eyebrows, wondering what all this amounted to? A disaster stirred up by a glutton?

Just as Ao Shuying wanted to ask where those three troublemakers were, Xue Yunrou, holding Li Xuan, looked at her with tragic anger, "Ao Shuying, what have you done to Xuan?"

She noticed that Li Xuan’s body was covered in sticky slime.

Upon hearing her indignant accusation, Ao Shuying felt strangely guilty. But she quickly became quite irritated, raised her neck defiantly, and sneered. "Whatever I want to do to him, that’s my business. What is it to you?"

Poyang Dragon King Ao Zhihui obviously had to side with Ao Shuying. He glared coldly at the two women and said, "What my cousin wants to do is not something she needs to explain to you. She, as the ruler of the Yangtze River, and Li Xuan being able to serve in her chambers is his good fortune."

Granted a sidelong glance from Ao Shuying, he wondered what on earth was he talking about? Serving in bed?

If there were not outsiders present, she would tear his mouth right now! She had merely used Li Xuan as a cuddly pillow, and had given him a few licks!

Meanwhile, hundreds of dragons outside started raising a ruckus.

"Right! What does it matter if our cousin took him? We dragon clan take who we want!"

"He didn’t lose anything. This niece of mine is the most beautiful maiden amongst the four seas’ dragon clan. If she favors him, then truly it’s his good fortune."

"You humans say ’food and sex are natural desires’, men and women giving and receiving in merry harmony is the principle of nature and men. It’s just one night with him!"

"Charming man, virtuous woman make a good match--is it not what is said in the Book of Odes!"

"He didn’t suffer any harm, did he? My sister was merciful, she didn’t drain him dry, what more do you want?"

"Yes, if truth be told, the disadvantaged one here is my sister. Her Yin energy of 450 years has all been wasted on this man."

——This was said by Yangzhou Dragon King Ao Gun, he said with an air of satisfaction, "Li Xuan could be considered my sister’s husband now. If he can satisfy my sister in the future and officially marries her, he can be ordained as a deity."

Ao Shuying’s face was impassive, her clenched fists produced cracking noises of bones. Threads of purple-red thunderbolts flickered and cracked around her ceaselessly.

Li Xuan, still not fully recovered, was now bewildered, thinking, was I taken? Have I become a dragon knight without knowing it?

Yu Hongshang’s face had turned blue with anger, but the Yin-yang Counterflow in her body was escalating dramatically.

"Let’s go, Yunrou!"

Yu Hongshang stared at Ao Shuying with cold eyes, "Immortal Master Shuide, is it? I will remember this tremendous hate and deep enmity! There shall be retribution."

After announcing this, she turned abruptly and together with her followers, exited the Dragon Palace.

Xue Yunrou’s eyes were similarly sharp as she glared at Ao Shuying: "This humiliation, I, Xue Yunrou, will never forget."

Only then did she, supporting Li Xuan, follow behind Yu Hongshang and depart.

Poyang Dragon King Ao Zhihui, cast a questioning glance at Ao Shuying, should they try to stop them?

Ao Shuying glared back, thinking to herself, why keep him here? Could he really be brought as keeping as a camp husband?

If they really got into a fight, it would not turn out well for either side. Mutual destruction was guaranteed.

Although the woman had a Yin-yang Counterflow disrupting her cultivation, if she was really trapped and fought back, among the hundreds of dragons present, probably a third would die.

And when Yu Hongshang and the others were gone, disappearing from the Palace in the Mini Void, Ao Shuying’s gaze, as sharp as a knife, swept over the dragons outside.

"Such audacity you have!"

Her voice was soft, but it echoed like thunder, ringing deep in the dragons’ hearts. "Everyone, to the Xingyun Hall! Bring me Pingbo, Fubo, and Mingfei."

※※ ※※

About a quarter of an hour later, Pingbo and the other two, shackled in chains as thick as fists, were brought to the ’Xingyun Hall’ of the Dragon Palace under the escort of prawn soldiers and crab generals.

This was the largest hall in the Poyang Lake Dragon Palace, measuring a hundred yards in both length and width. The interior was adorned with gold and silver, as well as all sorts of aquatic treasures, creating an imposing and magnificent atmosphere.

The ambience within the hall at the moment was solemn and severe, cold and menacing.

The three men knelt down as they entered the hall, their faces pale as they looked at ’Immortal Master Shuide’ Ao Shuying, who sat atop the throne with a stern expression. More than a hundred dragons flanked either side of her.

Although they didn’t understand what has happened, they knew they had provoked a disaster.

Ao Shuying was sitting lazily on a chair, coldly asking, "Li Xuan was put in my sleep chamber by you? You want me to administer justice, why throw him on my bed?"

She did absolutely nothing, yet Elder Mingfei felt an overwhelming pressure that almost crushed his Primordial Spirit. His bones creaked as if they would fall to pieces any second.

Elder Mingfei found it hard to speak at this point, "Your Highness, indeed we are responsible for this. We believed that this person had a strong background, and even with your intervention, justice might not be served to our satisfaction. We thought that even if you were to stand up for us, that might not necessarily result in the outcome we wanted, as we would still harbor resentment.

Therefore, after discussing amongst ourselves, we decided to throw Li Xuan onto your bed, thinking that no matter what happens, this person would not end up well."

When he first committed this act, he didn’t expect to survive, so he saw no point in hiding anything.

"Well, at least you’re honest." Ao Shuying’s expression grew darker, "So you intended to use me to kill him?"

"Indeed, we had such intentions!" Master Pingbo turned paler, "We offended Your Highness gravely with this act, and we three willingly accept our deaths!"

"From your appearance, it seems you are ready to die." Ao Shuying sneered, "Do you three know that the reason I was able to rid myself of the curse and break free three hundred years in advance was all thanks to Li Xuan’s help? He is my great benefactor."

The three were stunned upon hearing this, unable to believe their ears, "How is that possible?"

Ao Shuying didn’t bother to explain, she glanced sideways at the Poyang Turtle Prime Minister. The Poyang Turtle Prime Minister shuddered, instantly understanding, "This matter is well-known among the dragon clan. Li Xuan’s body bears Your Highness’s mark. All of us from the Yangtze aquatic clan must treat him as an honored guest, and must not harm him!"

He looked at the three with some pity. One of them wandered the seas and rivers, the other two lived between land and water. They truly deserved this misfortune.

The mark within Li Xuan became even more apparent after Ao Shuying broke through her seal.

Any true member of the Yangtze aquatic clan who possessed some wisdom would never dare to offend Li Xuan at first sight.

"How can this happen?" At this point, Master Fubo was as if struck by lightning, his mind unable to process this information, "Absurd, truly absurd."

It occurred to him that when they came to seek justice from Immortal Master Shuide, they had actually walked into the lion’s den?

This sensation was indescribable for Master Fubo. It was as if he had captured a criminal and brought him to court, only to discover shockingly that the judge was the criminal’s wife.

He questioned why the world seemed so dark. Was there nowhere under the vast sky where justice could be found?

At this moment, Ao Shuying asked calmly, "I presume that you three fools couldn’t foresee today’s events. Now tell me, who prompted you on this? Summon him, and at the very least I can spare your lives."

"This was all concocted by the three of us, there was no one else——"

Master Pingbo tried to respond with a bitter smile, but before he could even finish, Ao Shuying flicked a finger and his head felt like it was hit with a hammer.

"Think carefully before you speak. Have you never questioned the motives of that person who egged you on?"

The three were taken aback by her words.

Indeed. They thought, That man knew that Li Xuan was Ao Shuying’s benefactor, and yet he still told us to throw Li Xuan onto her bed. Wasn’t that ill-intended? Outright manipulation?

With that realization, the three instinctively looked up at the crowd of dragons flanking the Great Hall. Over a hundred dragon heads watched them expressionlessly.

Elder Mingfei found it impossible to identify the culprit among the dragons, and the cold gazes chilling him to the bone.

He was aware by now that they could not afford to offend any of these dragons.

However, Ao Shuying already had a firm grasp of the situation. She clenched her fist and coldly scanned the crowd of dragons saying, "It’s really among you! Step forward, admit it now and you will be spared ten lashes!"

The dragons all wore puzzled looks, glancing at each other in confusion, each exhibiting an "it wasn’t me" attitude.

"Who could it be? Who would do such a terrible thing?"

"It’s truly despicable!"

"It must be you, Ao Zhen? You enjoyed pranks when you were a kid."

"Go away! I would never do such a thing."

Ao Shuying snapped another armrest with a ’crack’, "Are you forcing me to sort this out by myself? To hit each dragon over the head to get the truth?"

The room quickly fell silent under the oppressive aura of Ao Shuying, and the dragons dared not act rashly, watching their noses, their noses watching their hearts.

Yangzhou Dragon King, Ao Gun’s heart was palpitating, but as he observed the dragons around him appearing unmoved despite their fear, he felt an inexplicable sense of comfort.

"You’re quite tenacious." Ao Shuying snickered, "I’ll give you one last chance. Present the culprit, and all accomplices will be pardoned."

With that, over a hundred dragons led by Poyang Dragon Lord Ao Zhihui all turned their heads towards Ao Gun.

However, just as Ao Gun’s expression changed and he was filled with rage for being betrayed, Ao Shuying had already taken a whip from her sleeve, while a tremendous force of purple thunderbolt spread out around her.

"Ao~Gun!"

Ao Shuying enunciated each word, each filled with bitterness and anger.

She wanted to whip this bastard to death before explaining herself to Li Xuan.
