“What? Why are you glaring at me? If you want to fight me, you can try. Your elder brother was just defeated by me a while ago. You shouldn’t want to follow in his footsteps, right?”
Facing the substantial fury in the Dragon Girl’s eyes, Feng Qing’an not only showed no fear, but instead began to threaten the newly appointed Water Monarch. His unreserved oppressive demeanor suggested he wasn’t at all concerned about ner.
The old turtle who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but sigh. However, it remained silent. The soldiers of the Water Mansion, standing not far away, bowed their heads in humiliation as they watched their new Monarch being publicly humiliated.
They knew who held actual authority in the Wave River Water Mansion. Even though the new Water Monarch had taken control of the water flow, what then? The previous Monarch, whose strength was far superior, had disappeared overnight.
“You said you were just keeping it temporarily!”
The Dragon Girl hadn’t forgotten Feng Qing’an’s initial words.
“Indeed, I did say that. But that depended on your inability to take on the role of Water Monarch. I was holding it on behalf of you. Now you’re in control of the water vein, don’t you know its value? In order to help you successfully integrate with the water vein, we’ve arrested countless large beasts. Haven’t you kept track?”
Feng Qing’an looked at the Dragon Girl with ease.
“A sword for a thousand-mile river, you made a huge profit. Don’t be ungrateful!”
“That’s my sword! I never agreed to this exchange!”
“But the deal is already made. Now tell me, why should I hand over this grand river to you? What are you to me? From a lineage perspective, you are a blood relative of my sworn enemy. I accepted merely a sword from you and even offered you the position of Water Monarch. You should show gratitude instead of glaring at me!”
Feng Qing’an spoke with justified indignation. Even though he didn’t want to be the Water Monarch of the Wave River, it didn’t mean the position had no value. Many monstrous beasts would risk their lives to vie for it. If he weren’t holding the fort down at the river, it would’ve already been overrun with bloodshed.
“I never said I wanted to be the Water Monarch. You forcibly brought me here!”
Jiang Yue felt utterly wronged for the first time since leaving the Dragon Palace. How could there be such unreasonable people in this world?
The thing that frustrated her the most was that despite undergoing a metamorphosis, she was still no match for him. The situation of being like a fish on a cutting board, vulnerable to manipulation, hadn’t changed at all.
“But you’ve already integrated with the water vein. So be happy about the benefits you’ve reaped. This sword is neither here nor there for you. After all, its most significant use was to facilitate your escape. But now that you are the Water Monarch, there is no need to flee. Keeping it is a waste. You should give it to me!”
“Give it back to me!”
The Dragon Girl glared at Feng Qing’an. Her tone didn’t carry much determination, instead sounding somewhat wronged.
The confidence boosted by her promotion dissipated in the face of Feng Qing’an’s laid-back attitude. Her logic told her that even if she initiated a fight, there was little hope of winning. It would only bring her embarrassment.
“Fine!”
Seeing that the Dragon Girl couldn’t be reasoned with, Feng Qing’an stopped attempting to do so. He gestured, and the divine sword with the Azure Dragon Wrapped Sword Hilt appeared in his hand.
“Since you insist this is your sword, why don’t you call it and see if it responds?”
“You…”
Looking at the Sundering Sea Sword in Feng Qing’an’s hand, which felt familiar and yet somewhat strange, the Dragon Girl looked it over a few times, then shook her head. “This is not my sword!”
“Right, it’s not your sword!”
Feng Qing’an looked at Jiang Yue with some surprise before breaking into a laugh. The power ot the divine weapon was still present, but the dominant spirituality had been devoured and replaced.
“Your target all along was my Sundering Sea Sword!”
The Dragon Girl watched Feng Qing’an closely, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the Golden Scaled Flood Dragon coiling around him.
This realization had come to her long ago, though she harbored unreal hopes in her heart. Upon seeing Feng Qing’an’s attitude today, she abandoned all illusions.
“You want to collect the Nine Kings of the Desolate Sea weapons!”
“Correct. I currently have that intention.”
Feng Qing’an nodded, openly admitting it.
When he first learned about the nine King weapons scattered across the world that originated from the same source, he had no intention of collecting them all. Who knew their whereabouts? The energy and effort required to find them wouldn’t be worth it.
However, after acquiring three divine weapons, Feng Qing’an could get a rough sense of where the six other weapons might be. If they were closer, he could even pinpoint their exact location. This sparked his idea.
Since there was a possibility of gathering all the weapons, why not try? What if he succeeded? Also, each Dragon Clan divine weapon could perfectly replenish the spirituality of the Bright Dragon. Who wouldn’t want more of that?
“In your eyes, what am I, really?”
Looking at Feng Qing’an, the Dragon Girl suddenly laughed. It was a laugh filled with bitter reflection and self-pity. She thought herself greatly wronged.
“I initially aimed for the Sundering Sea Sword in your possession. I planned to forcefully seize it and eliminate you, a potential threat in the process. But when I found out you were a Half-Human Half-Dragon and closer to the Human
Race, I changed my mind!”
“So, because you didn’t want to be the Water Monarch, you forced me to take up the role!”
“Smart!”
Reflecting on her experiences during this period, the Dragon Girl’s feelings were mixed. The title of Water Monarch, which many beasts dreamed of, had been forced onto her.
“Then, I must thank you for sparing my life!”
