Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1122 - 1122 1082 Meeting by the Lake

1122: Chapter 1082: Meeting by the Lake 1122: Chapter 1082: Meeting by the Lake Watching Jyang Ran and Yu Qiming, Lu Chuan said helplessly, “The flood dragon itself can’t break free from the chains.”

Jyang Ran hurriedly continued to ask, “The flood dragon can’t free itself from the chains…

Then who helped it?”

“Exactly, you’re right.

Someone did help it, but I don’t know who’s behind it.

I went to the surface of the lake and saw that the chains were cut through, not sure whether by a sword or a knife.”

Jyang Ran sighed helplessly, “So did we come here for nothing?”

Yu Qiming said, “Not for nothing, so many people have died.”

“Do you even know how to speak?

We gained nothing from this trip, and we didn’t kill the flood dragon!”

“Hey, was Huang Tiankang found?”

Lu Chuan asked.

“No.”

Both shook their heads.

Although the two saved many people by the shore, they never saw a trace of Huang Tiankang.

“He couldn’t have died too, could he?”

“This is indeed a significant loss for us, and for the whole Cloud Sea City, it’s a massive blow.”

“I estimate that once we return to the city, there will be some turmoil.

The City Lord’s power has been greatly weakened; the others won’t be able to hold back anymore.”

Lu Chuan looked at Su Jingqian, “After we return to the city, your Su Residence should look after the City Lord’s forces.

If anyone dares to cause trouble in the city, you deal with it and suppress them.”

Su Jingqian nodded repeatedly, “No problem, what Young Master Lu is worried about, I’m also concerned.”

“Let’s go, we can return now.”

Having said that, Lu Chuan rode away from there.

Jyang Ran and Yu Qiming quickly followed, “Lu Chuan, after we return, are we just going to ignore the flood dragon?

This creature hiding at the bottom of the lake also isn’t a solution.”

Jyang Ran asked curiously.

Yu Qiming looked at Jyang Ran and said, “You’re not even a local from Cloud Sea City, why are you worried about this?”

“The one who should be worried is me!”

Jyang Ran gave him a look, “You think I want to worry about it?

Is it not because killing the flood dragon could yield treasures?”

Lu Chuan turned back to look at the two and said, “If that creature dares show up again, I will come back to deal with it.”

“The key is to find out who helped the flood dragon.

This is crucial, anyone who opposes me is my enemy!”

Lu Chuan clenched his fist, an image flashing in his mind.

It was still the person who bought him candied hawthorns on that day, the one helping Wan Qingxue from behind, also from the Lu family, the enemy who wants to deal with him.

His strength is adequate, and so is his motive.

If there are no surprises, the likelihood is him!

Lu Chuan continued ahead, returning to the city.

Soon, the news spread throughout the city.

The City Lord has gone missing in the action of slaying the flood dragon.

Most likely, he is already dead.

After this news spread throughout Cloud Sea City, it made many restless.

Cloud Sea City is very large, and there are no lack of extremely vicious people within it.

In the past, under the Suppression of the City Lord’s forces, they wouldn’t dare to do anything.

Now with the City Lord’s death and the City Guards’ weakened strength, their chance has arrived.

During this period, if Su Jingqian does not lend a hand, then the city will completely fall into chaos.

…

After returning to the residence, a few of them gathered in the Council Hall to discuss matters.

“The City Lord is most likely dead, his death will bring about many adverse effects.”

“The city might start to descend into chaos.

The Su family will help with the suppression, and you all should keep watch as well.”

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.

“Then, the likelihood of the flood dragon not leaving is high.

I am certain that behind this beast, there is the aid of an enemy.”

“Lastly, what I want to say is, if the flood dragon emerges again, come and inform me, and I will thoroughly deal with the creature!”

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, the others nodded slightly in agreement.

Subsequently, Yu Qiming asked, “What if that creature just directly flees?”

“It won’t.

It’s greedy for the abundant Spiritual Energy here; it won’t leave.”

“And moreover, the flood dragon holds grudges.

I seriously injured it, so there’s a high probability it will come back for revenge.”

Yu Qiming nodded slightly.

Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan, expressing her worry as she asked, “Does this mean I also need to end my secluded cultivation?

After all, the origin of everything is the Spiritual Energy flowing from the mountain spring.”

Lu Chuan propped his chin, falling deep into thought.

“Better not go there for now; just stay in the residence.

I will help you with your cultivation.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded lightly, “Indeed, it’s safer to stay here.”

“Alright, that’s settled, then.

Let’s go have dinner, send someone to guard the lakeside, and if there’s any news of the flood dragon showing its head, notify me immediately!”

Yu Qiming nodded seriously, “No problem!”

…

Dusk fell.

On a small island in Cloud Sea Lake.

The island was about the size of a mansion.

Beneath a willow tree on the island, a figure sat down, leaning against the tree.

In front of him, the surface of the lake churned as the flood dragon’s huge head slowly emerged.

“It’s come out…”

“How are your injuries?”

He cocked his head, listening attentively.

The flood dragon did not open its mouth but emitted a voice.

“The injuries are severe.”

The deep, hoarse voice caused ripples to spread across the surrounding lake surface.

“Severe?

How long will it take to recover?”

“I don’t know…

Maybe a month?”

“That’s too slow; take this.”

He took out an elixir pill from his bosom.

“Who are you?

Why are you helping me?”

The flood dragon’s vertically slit pupils fixed on the man.

“That guy who wants to slay you with flames is my enemy; I want to deal with him.”

“But currently, it seems that this guy is strong enough, and I’m not a hundred percent certain of victory.”

“Moreover, my family is amidst war and chaos; I don’t have much manpower to help me.”

“So, we should join forces to deal with our common enemy.”

After hearing this, the flood dragon slowly nodded, “No problem.

I want to kill him!”

“Hey, when did you start having spirit wisdom?”

“Isn’t it normal for me, a Demon Beast, to have spirit wisdom?”

“Most Demon Beasts can at most blurt out a few words in human language, but the ability to converse fluently is extremely rare, even if you are a flood dragon.”

“I absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the lake.”

It replied immediately.

The man nodded slightly, “Lately, the lake has been overflowing with Spiritual Energy, probably related to that Lu Chuan guy’s divine items—it’s infuriating.

Now that he has discovered such an extraordinary divine item, if we don’t deal with it quickly, it’ll become a huge problem in the future!”

He rubbed his forehead, speaking with irritation.

“Come on, take this.”

The flood dragon opened its mouth, and the man flicked his finger, shooting the elixir pill into the flood dragon’s mouth.

After ingesting the elixir pill, a faint green glow appeared on the wounds on its body.

“How does it feel?”

“Much better.”

Then, the man took out a golden box from his bosom.

“I have something here that you’ve long dreamt of!”

“You’ll definitely be very excited.”
