946: Chapter 330: Ancestral Dragon Egg [Third Update, Vote Request] 946: Chapter 330: Ancestral Dragon Egg [Third Update, Vote Request] Before Li Ping’an went to meet Yinglong, he already sensed that something was amiss at the banquet.

But since Yinglong was both a powerful master influential within the Dragon Clan and a divine general of the Human Race, Li couldn’t afford to slight him based on the latter alone and had no choice but to go out to meet him.

The reason for the abnormal atmosphere at his banquet seemed to be that today, Zi Yao Xianzi was too dazzlingly radiant—

Zi Yao had changed into a high-collared long dress with a hemline that was an uncommon jagged design, perfectly showcasing her slender waist and long legs.

Her makeup was also meticulously applied; it appeared light and subtle, yet accentuated her skin’s frost-like purity and snow-like arrogance, her phoenix eyes harbored the color of spring, and her delicate eyebrows conveyed the heart of fragrance.

Truly, she was breathtakingly gorgeous to the point of being beyond compare.

Ningning Mu inevitably felt a bit pressured by this.

It was still manageable with Li Ping’an around, but once he left, Ningning could only lean towards her Shibo for support.

Qing Su frowned and said, “Yaoyao, why did it take you so long to dress up?”

Zi Yao blinked, gently stroking her hair beside her ear, and spoke in a quiet voice, “Isn’t this the Heavenly Emperor’s banquet?

As an outsider with no blood or marriage ties to the Heavenly Emperor, being invited by His Majesty itself calls for a formal attire.”

At this moment, Guilingling was dozing off, resting her chin on the table’s edge, turning her head halfway, and her half-open eyes showed a hint of grievance, “So this is why you made us wait for several hours.”

“I had a lot of official duties to handle before this,” Zi Yao said with an aggrieved voice, “The Heavenly Emperor declared that official duties take precedence, so I could only come after dealing with them.”

Ningning spoke softly, “I have asked Ling’er to bring over some new dishes…

Father is here!”

The four women at the table turned their gaze towards the corner.

Zi Yao also stood up, ready to take the position of a junior, hoping to leave Li Dazhi with a favorable impression.

However…

Li Dazhi and Huanglong both stopped in their tracks.

The dragon and the man exchanged glances.

“Is Ping’an not here?”

“No wonder This Poor Daoist smelled a familiar scent.

Yinglong has come; This Poor Taoist will go and see as well!”

The divine general Yinglong, a renown well-known to all, let’s go together!”

But the two swiftly made their escape.

Zi Yao Xianzi was holding her dress up slightly, standing awkwardly in front of the table with a tinge of disappointment in her eyes.

Ningning slowly said, “Father and Uncle Huanglong have to avoid conflicts of interest.

Xianzi, please take a seat.

How about I personally prepare a few dishes for Xianzi?”

“There’s no need…

Thank you, Ningning.”

Zi Yao sighed, sat back down in her seat, and appeared slightly dazed.

A small hand waved in front of her face.

Guilingling nimbly jumped to the edge of the table, swinging her small feet lightly and shaking her small body, shaking her head like an old sage, “Young one, haste does not bring success.”

Zi Yao pouted slightly but almost instantly regained her usual demeanor that made everyone feel as if basking in the warmth of spring, sitting across from Ningning and began to praise the remnants of the delicious food on the table.

Qing Su glanced at Ningning, then at Zi Yao Xianzi, and continued to eat her portion of snacks quietly.

The beauties around the table were like the splendor of spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each extraordinary in their own right.

Yet at this moment, each harbored their own thoughts, filled with worries and melancholy.

…

Receiving Yinglong was in the main hall of the Heavenly Court, where Li Ping’an usually dealt with affairs of state and gathered his ministers.

The hall’s arrangement seemed quite satisfactory in Li Ping’an’s view, with carpets made of fierce beast fur sprawled on the ground, and various places decorated with carved beams and painted pillars.

Even the ceiling of the main hall portrayed the statues of the Three Pure Ones and the Holy Mother.

But from Yinglong’s perspective, this was still…

“Why doesn’t the Heavenly Emperor place more treasures here?”

Yinglong, the divine general, smiled warmly, with a hint of brightness in his eyes:

“Would you like me to command our Dragon Clan’s painters to decorate for Your Majesty?”

“With the Dragon Clan’s long lifespans, not knowing what to do with the endless time, many dragons have indulged in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song.”

Li Ping’an declined with a smile.

Sorry, but the art of the Dragon Clan is a bit too avant-garde for the Human Race.

“The divine general’s visit this time…”

“Eh,” said Yinglong gently, “Calling me a divine general seems so formal, just use my name.

There are no divine generals of the ancient Human Race here, just a Yinglong who has been nagged by a bunch of old dragons to the point of annoyance and came over to lodge a few complaints with the Heavenly Emperor.”

“Then I shall follow my Human Emperor’s senior brother’s example and address you as Brother.

Please, Brother, this way!”

Li Ping’an laughed heartily, inviting Yinglong to a side table for tea.

Li Ping’an remembered the time when the six strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi appeared.

Yinglong had also taken action, leaping out from the Chaotic Aura, providing a distraction for another old dragon to grab the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Judging from this, Yinglong’s strength in the Dragon Clan was firmly among the top three.

Li Ping’an thought again, in ancient times, even under the premise of being rejected and suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, Yinglong still became the number one divine general under Xuanyuan Huangdi’s command.

The son of the Ancestral Dragon indeed lives up to his reputation.

Li Ping’an took the initiative to bring up a past matter, sighing, “That tenth son of the Golden Crow Clan just came over to cause a scene.”

“Oh?”

There was added brightness in Yinglong’s eyes:

“That Lu Ya?

He previously appeared to pursue the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and his strength has reached the pinnacle of the Golden Crow Clan.

“Does he also wish to find a position at the Heavenly Court?”

“He didn’t come to the Heavenly Court to seek a position.”

Li Ping’an shook his head smilingly:

“He mainly came to threaten me to give him some conveniences to see if he can use the power of the Heavenly Dao to resurrect his parents?

“I have no idea about the particulars.

“But the bargaining chip that Golden Crow offered was not to kill me, demanding a share of heavenly authority, which of course, I cannot agree to.”

“Heavenly authority?

That is quite audacious!”

Yinglong angrily exclaimed:

“The Golden Crow Clan is nearly extinct yet still cannot discern priorities!

“The Heavenly Dao represents the will of all living beings between heaven and earth as well as the will of the heavens and the earth.

Nowadays, with the rise of the Human Race, the Heavenly Dao is based on the mortals.

How can they allow the Golden Crow to cause turmoil again?”
