I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 431: Dragon Amber (1)

The visit of the Dragon Emperor didn't last long.

After chatting with Lu Heng in the courtyard for a while, she bid farewell with a smile and didn't linger any further.

Lu Heng stood in the courtyard, watching the Dragon Emperor's departing radiance, feeling somewhat vexed.

Despite having had several interactions within the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Emperor's speech and behavior were modest, judicious, and never overstepping bounds. However, the genuine affection and desire for progress on the part of the Dragon Emperor were unmistakably unreserved.

This left Lu Heng feeling quite helpless.

If he were a vulgar, rude, and aggressive person, at this moment, he could have simply exploded in anger, and then, taking advantage of the situation, verbally berated and driven away that Dragon Emperor.

Lu Heng has always treated others with kindness. In this situation, where there was no offense or rudeness on the part of the Dragon Emperor, he simply couldn't bring himself to confront her directly. The Dragon Emperor greeted him with a smiling face, displaying warmth and friendliness, and so Lu Heng had no choice but to respond with a forced smile.

Perhaps, this is what they call treating a gentleman with unwavering integrity?

Although Lu Heng doesn't consider himself a true gentleman, even a fake gentleman would find themselves in a predicament in such a situation.

This Dragon Emperor's friendly gesture truly had Lu Heng tightly in his grip. It seemed that she had a thorough understanding of Lu Heng's character and must have conducted detailed research beforehand. contemporary romance

After all, dragons roam the four seas, and no movement or change in the world can escape the keen awareness of the dragon clan.

Lu Heng even suspected that even if he didn't come to the Dragon Palace this time, it wouldn't be long before this Dragon Emperor would take the initiative to "coincidentally encounter" Lu Heng in the mortal realm

"Ah women, women," in the courtyard, Lu Heng sighed deeply with his hands clasped behind his back, feeling that it was more troublesome than getting into a fight.

In this situation, even if he had the Heavenly Thunder Sword in his hand, he was helpless against the small figure of the Dragon Emperor.

And behind Lu Heng, a gentle breeze brushed by, the silent forms of the Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie appeared.

The three of them simultaneously looked up, watching as the Dragon Emperor's escaping radiance vanished into the horizon. The Candle Dragon remarked, "Such a dashing and gallant Dragon Emperor, I wonder who can have the luck to be her husband."

Jiu Mie said, "To miss out on such a splendid beauty would truly be a lifelong regret."

The sudden appearance of the two individuals and their implied words made Lu Heng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He turned his head to look at the two people behind him and said, "Since both of you are so fond of the Dragon Emperor, how about I go and deliver a love letter on your behalf? It would help fulfill the romantic fate between you both, my dear friends."

The Candle Dragon glared at Lu Heng and said, "Nonsense! I, the Candle Dragon, have traversed the Celestial Desolation Realm for millions of years without ever sparing a glance at a woman. A mere Dragon Emperor, who is nothing but an immature little girl lacking both stature and presence, may suit your taste, my dear friend, but I, the Candle Dragon, find it beneath my dignity to even consider."

Jiu Mie also nodded and said, "Women only hinder my enlightenment as an old ascetic cultivator. This Dragon Emperor is better off being dealt with by you, my dear friend. Among the three of us, there truly is no one else capable of handling this task except for you."

The Candle Dragon agreed and said, "Indeed, when the three of us stand together, anyone would fall in love with you, my dear Friend Jiu Mie. Just take a look, your figure is emaciated, your visage repulsive, resembling a skeletal frame with no trace of grace. As for me, the Candle Dragon, my countenance is fierce, my features menacing, capable of stopping a baby's cry in its tracks, and it is truly repugnant In comparison, you, my friend, radiate a celestial aura, transcending the mundane, truly a graceful and captivating gentleman. Which woman wouldn't be fond of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain?"

Jiu Mie chuckled and nodded, saying, "Indeed! The world is enamored with the Wolf God, which truly showcases the immense charm of our dear friend. Furthermore, my friend, you must handle this Dragon Emperor with caution Let us not forget that we are still on foreign territory."

"Yes," the Candle Dragon concurred, "As they say, the few cannot oppose the many. Though the three of us possess considerable cultivation, we must not underestimate the Dragon Clan of Penglai Island. If we were to offend the Dragon Emperor, it wouldn't just be the Emperor's treasure trove at stake, but even our attempt to leave unscathed would prove to be a challenge."

Jiu Mie and the Candle Dragon embellished the fearsome aspects of Dragon Island, causing Lu Heng to burst into laughter. He said, "I have taken note of the reminders from both of my dear friends. Tomorrow, when the Dragon Emperor returns, I will confront her and show her the meaning of not humiliating those who are strong, as well as what it means to be the pinnacle of immortality in this world, and the power of the Candle Dragon."

After saying that, Lu Heng directly brushed his sleeves and left, leaving behind a surprised expression on the faces of Jiu Mie and the Candle Dragon.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly followed suit with a smile, saying, "Friend, calm down, please calm down. One must never act rashly in anger."

The Candle Dragon also chimed in, "Indeed, my friend, the Dragon Clan is not to be trifled with. Do not be deceived by the Dragon Emperor's soft-spoken demeanor, for it is merely a superficial facade. If she were to lose her temper and employ extreme measures, my friend, you would not be able to withstand them Even if you were to wield the Heavenly Thunder Sword, you would absolutely be unable to withstand it!"

After the Candle Dragon vividly warned, Lu Heng glanced at him and chuckled, saying, "Well, my dear friend Candle Dragon, do tell me, what kind of methods does the Dragon Emperor possess? And what kind of extreme measures are they that would render me defenseless?"

In the courtyard, Lu Heng's inquiry elicited a mischievous smile from the Candle Dragon.

The ancient monster, who had lived for millions of years, looked around and disregarded the fact that they were on Dragon Island. With a smile, they said, "They say that dragon nature tends toward promiscuity. My dear friend, surely you don't believe in such antiquated notions of what is deemed virtuous or righteous?"

"This Dragon Island is home to a peerless elixir known as the 'Dragon Amber.' This extraordinary concoction is primarily crafted from the saliva of the most esteemed virgin dragons, complemented by a combination of ninety-eight other mesmerizing and debaucherous ingredients. These include the Eastern Sea's bewitching charm jade, the withered branches of the southern wasteland, and the corrosive sea-bone dissolving powder."

"The more refined the saliva obtained from the finest virgin dragons, the more potent the effect of the 'Dragon Amber' when extracted."

"This generation's Dragon Emperor Xiu Ya possesses extraordinary cultivation. If we were to use her dragon saliva as a catalyst and refine the 'Dragon Amber' hehe not to mention the innate cultivators, even if Emperor Fu Xi were to return, it would be difficult for him to withstand its exceptional potency."

The Candle Dragon smirked and said, "In that case, do you still believe you can rest easy, my friend?"

Lu Heng was momentarily caught off guard and said, "This".

He looked at the Candle Dragon with a hint of doubt and asked, "Is it true that such terrifying substances exist within the Dragon Palace? Ones that even those in the innate realm cannot resist? Friend, are you not deceiving me?"

The calm Candle Dragon said, "If you don't believe me, you can seek guidance from the Dragon Emperor. I believe the Dragon Emperor would be willing to let you experience it, my friend."

Jiu Mie quickly grabbed hold of Lu Heng, his face filled with concern, and said, "No, my friend! Absolutely not! You mustn't risk yourself! We can forget about the Emperor's treasury, the River Map, and the Luo Book. The three of us will simply leave the three islands in the sea. We cannot allow you to fall into someone else's hands."

In the courtyard, the three of them briefly reached a momentary deadlock.

Subsequently, Lu Heng burst into laughter and reached out to grasp Jiu Mie's hand, saying, "Friend Jiu Mie, you truly care for me In that case, let the three of us depart."

"This trio of islands in the sea, we need not stay any longer."
