Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s

Chapter 502: 500, Long Jing

Lu Hanmo was playing chess with Old Master Lu when he saw Luo Shu return and smiled at her.

Luo Shu walked over and, noticing that the tea in their cups was almost gone, picked up the teapot and poured each of them a fresh cup.

Seeing the two men deep in their chess game, she smiled and took a seat on the nearby sofa.

Spotting a newspaper on the sofa, she reached out and started to read it.

’My Youth’ talent competition, Yan Xuan and Mu Wan receive the highest acclaim, but who will ultimately win? Luo Shu had just picked up the newspaper when she saw a full-page update about the competition.

When she had visited Wang Fei and the others that afternoon, they had already mentioned the competition to her. Up to now, ten contestants had been selected, with the final competition set to take place during the summer break. Among these ten finalists, Yan Xuan and Mu Wan had the highest number of votes. She hadn’t expected Mu Wan to participate in the competition, much less make it to the finals.

The Tenglong Group’s product advertisement had also been completed, broadcasted on various television stations. The response was extremely positive, boosting Tenglong Group’s sales by another three percentage points.

Another surprise was the development between Wang Fei and Yang Mujing; they had officially become a couple, and their relationship was steadily progressing. She couldn’t believe that so much had changed during the four months she was away.

"What are you reading?" Lu Hanmo’s voice sounded from nearby.

Luo Shu noticed that Old Master Lu was no longer in the living room, "Why aren’t you and Grandpa playing chess anymore?"

"Grandpa is a bit tired," Lu Hanmo said with a smile. He and his grandfather had been playing chess all day, and with their skills being so evenly matched, they still hadn’t produced a winner.

"Hanmo, do you think we should check out the ancient tomb at Yujuan’s home?" Luo Shu asked as she looked at Lu Hanmo. It was the night of the full moon, and she was eager to see what really was inside the tomb. Yet, she feared an unforeseen situation might arise, trapping them again and causing their families to worry.

"Sure!" Lu Hanmo said, nodding with a smile. He could see she was very interested.

"Aren’t you afraid that we’ll run into some trouble again?" Luo Shu asked, concerned. After everything, she truly did not wish to leave Yuan Star and have their families worry about them again.

"Then shall we not go?" Lu Hanmo asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

Luo Shu glared at him with pretended annoyance, "But I really do want to go see, especially since it’s the night of the full moon." She loved being capricious in front of him; after all, he was her man.

"Then let’s go have a look, and if there’s any danger, we’ll run right away," Lu Hanmo said indulgently, ruffling Luo Shu’s hair.

After thinking it over, Luo Shu said, "Alright!" In the end, curiosity won over everything else.

After dinner, the two informed their families and then flew on their swords toward Northern Xiang.

The ancient tomb mentioned by Meng Yujuan was located deep in the mountains.

As Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo landed from their flying sword, they heard terrifying bellowing noises, similar to the roar of a bull, coming from the tomb.

A sweep with their divine sense revealed an underground river within the tomb, and the noises were emanating from there.

Xiao Qing appeared from her spatial dimension, her round eyes shining slightly, "Master! I feel like I am familiar with it."

Luo Shu, upon hearing these words, looked slightly surprised. "Then let’s go down and take a look."

"Okay!" Xiao Qing nodded excitedly.

After digging a passage into the ancient tomb, the two of them, along with the snake, entered and headed toward the dark river.

The closer they got to the dark river, the more the noise resembled thunder, causing Luo Shu’s and Lu Hanmo’s ears to suffer from the overwhelming sound.

Upon reaching the riverbank, they saw the dark river’s water raging tumultuously, as if something beneath was churning fiercely.

"Master! I’ll go down and have a look!" Xiao Qing said as its body slid into the river.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo’s divine senses followed Xiao Qing into the river and soon saw a colossal figure underneath the water.

Both their faces showed shock. They had not expected to find an enormous black dragon beneath this dark river.

Xiao Qing slowly made its way to the riverbed and discovered a formation below the waters, with a water-repelling pearl placed in it, dividing the river and the world below into two separate realms.

The black dragon was roaring in rage, struggling furiously. When it saw a green figure enter the formation, it was stunned! It had been imprisoned here for over ten thousand years and no one had ever been able to enter the ancient tomb, let alone descend to this dark river.

"Who are you? Why do I sense a familiar presence about you?" Xiao Qing eyed the black dragon and asked.

The black dragon’s huge eyes stared intensely at Xiao Qing. After a long moment, it exclaimed, "Your Highness!"

"You recognize me?" Xiao Qing cocked its head, looking at the black dragon with surprise. It had always known its origins were extraordinary, but it could never recall them.

The black dragon nodded its massive head, looking at Xiao Qing with excitement. "Your Highness! How did you find me?"

"First tell me, why do you call me ’Your Highness’? What exactly is our relationship? And why are you imprisoned here?" Xiao Qing demanded.

After pondering for a while, the black dragon replied, "I am Left Protector Long Jing of the Dragon Clan. You are our Dragon Clan’s young prince. Back when our clan went to the Domain of Time with several other clans to obtain the Mirror of Time, it attracted the covetousness of the other clans and eventually led to a great war. Another elder and I took you and fled from our clan. In the end, when we were found by the enemy, we had no choice but to seal you within a blue crystal stone and cast you into the vast ocean. Since they couldn’t find you, they imprisoned me here."

"Who are they?!" A cold, bloodthirsty murderous intent shot from Xiao Qing’s eyes. The hatred from the genocide was irreconcilable!

"Young Highness! Your strength is too weak now. I’ll tell you when you’re more powerful," said the black dragon. The enemies of the Dragon Clan were too formidable; they were utterly incapable of confronting them in their current state.

"What about the other elder?" Xiao Qing’s demeanor suddenly became despondent. Its strength was way behind that of Long Jing. Even if it knew, what could it do? It had to become stronger, much stronger! It was determined to annihilate the enemies of its Dragon Clan!

"He has probably perished," the black dragon said mournfully. He and Lih Xiao had been like brothers for many years, yet in the end, they didn’t even get to see each other’s face.

Xiao Qing sadly nodded its head, then turned its gaze to the big copper lock shackled around the black dragon’s claw. "Is there any way to unlock it?" Now that it had found it, how could it possibly leave it imprisoned here?

"Only exotic fire can unlock it," the black dragon shook its head and sighed. In a world as devoid of spiritual energy as Yuan Star, where even the stronger cultivators would struggle to be found, not to mention exotic fire.
