Chapter 546 - 465: Celestial Monarch, I Don’t Want to Work Hard Anymore!
As expected, this old guy pretending to be young has a task for me.
Upon hearing the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch’s words, Su Yuan wasn’t surprised. In fact, he felt a sense of relief.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch handed him various benefits without asking for anything in return, Su Yuan would have to worry about what hidden motives were behind it.
"What task does the Celestial Monarch want me to do? And what reward can I expect?"
Su Yuan asked with an attitude neither servile nor overbearing.
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch chuckled:
"I want to send you on a mission to the Purple Gold Dragon Realm to defeat the apprentice of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, and give that old fellow a good blow to his pride."
"Of course, on the surface, this is a friendly exchange between the younger generations of the two realms, with no elements of revenge involved."
Su Yuan was slightly taken aback.
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch and the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable don’t get along?
Is this just part of the Taixu World’s setting, or is it the reality as well?
However, the grudges of the older generation don’t concern him much, so Su Yuan didn’t ask further. Instead, he curiously inquired:
"Celestial Monarch, I wonder who this apprentice of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable is, and what makes them special."
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch replied, "This person is named Chen Nuoyi. The Purple Gold Dragon Venerable treats this Human Race girl better than his own daughter, going so far as to expend his own essence to forge the Dragon Emperor True Body for her."
"From what I know, this girl has already reached the Golden Core Late Stage, and with the Dragon Emperor True Body and various Dragon Race treasures, her combat power is unrivaled in her rank."
"None of the younger generation in the Reincarnation Nether Realm can match her, but with your capabilities, defeating that girl shouldn’t be difficult."
Su Yuan nodded in realization.
So, they want me to act as the enforcer.
But the opponent is Chen Nuoyi?
This girl really has top-notch backing, with a Divinity Transformation Great Power supporting her.
Heh, in this case, can I leverage my connection with Chen Nuoyi to gain the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable’s support?
Combined with the Star River Celestial Monarch, I’ll have all three Divinity Transformations of the Taixu World on my side!
A mere remnant will of a Fake Chu Jiang will be a piece of cake to destroy, won’t it?
"Alright, I’ll take the task."
Without hesitation, Su Yuan nodded.
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch nodded in satisfaction, ready to say something when Su Yuan asked:
"May I ask the Celestial Monarch to set a standard for me? To what extent should I go in the process of challenging Chen Nuoyi?"
"Is it enough just to defeat her, or should I do more?"
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch was surprised, "You want to do more?"
Su Yuan straightened his posture, lied without batting an eye, "To be honest, Celestial Monarch, I’ve always had certain intentions towards the disciples or daughters of Divinity Transformations."
"You understand, establishing an unbreakable relationship with a Divinity Transformation can save a hundred years of effort."
"And I... just don’t want to work hard anymore."
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch: "..."
A strange look appeared on the face of the little boy in the black robe, a look that said, ’I didn’t expect you to be like this, Su Yuan’.
Luckily... I don’t have a daughter, and my body can’t support having a child.
"Ahem, worthy of being a Demon of Demons, always thinking of the fastest way to rise."
The Reincarnation Celestial Monarch lightly coughed:
"Trying to steal away the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable’s precious gem right under his nose? You’ve got courage. I support you, go for it."
Su Yuan was overjoyed.
But then the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch added:
"But I must say this upfront, if you cause trouble in the Purple Gold Dragon Realm because of this, make sure not to mention my name."
"...Yes."
What a cowardly kid!
It wasn’t long before the Reincarnation Celestial Monarch arranged a grand envoy team, which included Xuan Haoran and Su Yuan.
Meanwhile, for some unspoken reason, Yin Qiyue shamelessly forced her way into the envoy team.
Once everything was ready, the group boarded a flying ship made of bones and resentful souls, heading towards the Purple Gold Dragon Realm.
At the border between the two realms, Su Yuan saw numerous patrolling guards and an array of dormant and active defensive and attack formations from the deck of the flying ship.
If someone dared to cross the border unauthorized, cultivators below the Nascent Soul would generally meet their end.
Fortunately, the envoy team bore no trouble since they had clearance, and they smoothly reached the heart of the Purple Gold Dragon Realm.
At the center of the Dragon Realm, a floating island appeared before the envoy team.
Even at a distance of hundreds of miles, Su Yuan could clearly see the island’s beautiful scenery and the magnificent golden palaces, which aligned well with the Dragon Race’s aesthetics.
When the flying ship arrived at the floating port of Dragon Island, a group was already waiting there.
The two people at the forefront were very familiar to Su Yuan.
It was none other than Chen Nuoyi and Long Bai.
At this time, the ice-haired lolita Long Bai crossed her arms and said coolly:
"Hmph, the Reincarnation Nether Realm has sent another batch of riffraff?"
"If this batch of riffraff is like the previous ones, Sister Nuoyi wouldn’t even need to lift a finger. I, Long Bai, could handle them with a flip of my hand."
As Su Yuan led the team off the ship, he listened to Long Bai’s arrogant proclamation.
It seems that this girl still hasn’t been able to restore her true self.
After setting foot on the port ground, Su Yuan looked at the girl opposite, with blue hair and golden eyes, her expression serene.
Just a single glance, both parties understood.
Chen Nuoyi (Su Yuan) had already regained her memory.
However, with so many onlookers, they couldn’t act too familiar, so they pretended it was their first meeting.
"Nice to meet you. You must be Miss Chen Nuoyi, the beloved disciple of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable. I’m looking forward to our upcoming sparring and exchange."
Su Yuan politely greeted the girl.
"As am I."
Chen Nuoyi nodded lightly.
The initial meeting between the two delegations was very successful.
Of course, that is if you ignore the huge golden dog wriggling like a caterpillar behind Su Yuan, impatient to pounce and give Chen Nuoyi a big lick.
"Hey, hey, Su Yuan, kid, you dare ignore me? Don’t you know to pay respects to me too?"
Long Bai yelled:
"You’re so disrespectful to me, I’m going to have the Dragon Race guards arrest you. I’m going to tell my dad!"
Su Yuan rolled his eyes, pushing the little girl jumping in front of him to the side.
Whose child is this?
It seems that due to Long Bai’s reincarnation as a human, Long Bai in the Taixu World is not the Nascent Soul Peak Dragon Race Princess, but just a ten-year-old, who hasn’t yet cultivated, a little useless thing.
Long Bai’s little face puffed up like a pufferfish, suddenly becoming round and full.
She wanted Chen Nuoyi, sister, to fiercely teach Su Yuan a lesson, but before she could speak, the leaders of the two delegations had already walked away laughing and chatting.
Like a family that’s too familiar.
"In the more than a month since entering the Taixu World, I’ve been trying hard to build a good relationship with the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, but my Dragon Race teacher has a somewhat peculiar temperament, hard to figure out."
Chen Nuoyi and Su Yuan seemed to be engaged in friendly communication, but were secretly exchanging intelligence using the Sound Transmission Technique:
"Since you’re here, Su Yuan, I’ll take you to meet the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable. Maybe with your eloquence, you can bring him over to our side."
Su Yuan slightly nodded, but in his heart, he didn’t hold much hope for this matter.
This time, he came with the intention to take Chen Nuoyi away, and if everything went smoothly, perhaps even take Long Bai away too.
If he did such a rash thing, the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable not killing him would be considered him having a good temper.
Even if he really wanted to win him over, he’d have to wait until he said, "Dragon Venerable senior, don’t you want your disciple and daughter to live unhappily?"
The two delegations proceeded along the way and soon arrived at a magnificent purple-gold hall.
Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi walked side by side into the hall, where they saw a middle-aged man who was half-human, half-dragon on the highest throne.
The man before them looked exactly the same as the residual consciousness of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable that Su Yuan had seen in the Dragon Palace, except for his attire.
And it was the attire that made Su Yuan a little unable to hold back.
Because the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable was wearing a yellow robe styled just like that of the Human Race Emperor.
Simply wearing an emperor’s robe wouldn’t make Su Yuan laugh—in the end, the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable, as a Dragon Emperor, wearing emperor’s clothing was very normal.
But the problem was, what should be embroidered on the yellow robe of the Dragon Race Emperor, when the Human Race Emperor’s yellow robe had Five-Clawed Golden Dragons?
Embroidered with dragons too?
Wouldn’t that be like a self-praising proverb, "the melon seller praises his own melons"?
——On the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable’s yellow robe, there were embroidered human figures: there were generals like door gods, there were couples with men plowing and women weaving, and there were carefree, playful children. Together, they formed a scene symbolizing human civilization.
Overall, the embroidery on the yellow robe had a good meaning, but as a human, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of Reversed Celestial Spirit upon seeing this motif.
This caused Su Yuan to be momentarily lost in thought.
"Have you seen enough?"
Not knowing how much time had passed, the booming yet calm voice of the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable resounded.
Su Yuan snapped back to reality and looked at the man’s face.
At this moment, the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable was also staring at him, and those deep dragon eyes always gave Su Yuan the feeling of being seen through entirely.
"Greetings to the great Purple Gold Dragon Venerable."
Su Yuan quickly led the delegation in a bow.
The Purple Gold Dragon Venerable slightly nodded, and said:
"The rest of you may leave. I have some words I wish to say to Nuoyi and Su Yuan alone."
The other members of the delegation were taken aback, but dared not say much, obediently retreating.
Long Bai: "Father, should I leave too?"
Purple Gold Dragon Venerable: "You’ve no use knowing, leave."
The ice-haired Lolita reluctantly left.
With that, only three people were left in the great hall.
"Dragon Venerable, what is it you wish to tell us?"
Su Yuan earnestly asked, feeling a faint premonition.
The next second, Su Yuan’s premonition was confirmed:
"Long time no see, Su Yuan, Nuoyi. You’ve both grown quite a lot."
In a relaxed tone, the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable said:
"I never expected, apart from using the residual consciousness in the Dragon Palace to converse with you, I could speak to you in this way, which even I hadn’t foreseen."
