Chapter 264: Chapter 264: It’s exhilarating to turn into a dragon, but afterward, it’s a crematorium! 1
"What did you say?"
The King of Gendaya’s face changed dramatically, his anger flaring. "Mu Continent actually wants to use a fake to impersonate the real one? Outrageous! Do they really think Gendaya is so easy to bully?"
When it comes to national power, they indeed are easily bullied, Qu Liushang thought. And what can you do about it? Of the four countries, the weakest one, would it dare to confront the powerful ones?
"Father, please call Mu Continent immediately and demand that they send the real Ajiu to Gendaya to become the Crown Princess Consort!"
Qu Gaoyang’s broken arm had ruined his chance for the throne.
My position as Crown Prince was abolished due to Qu Gaoyang’s conspiracy, Qu Liushang fumed internally. Now that it has been exposed on social media, and since I’m not guilty, my position as Crown Prince should be restored. I want to marry Ajiu as the Crown Prince of Gendaya, in a grand and official wedding!
The King of Gendaya knew from his eldest son’s tone that he wanted to regain the title of Crown Prince. The King of Gendaya remained impassive. He made no promises, as that would be tantamount to telling his son he could have the title back.
Wishful thinking! the King thought. This isn’t about asking for a woman’s hand; this is about vying for the title of Crown Prince! Do you think I’d just easily agree to that? If you want it, go fight and snatch it yourself! The future heir to the throne must be the strongest!
The more the King of Gendaya looked at his son, the more he saw himself in him. He felt sorry for his son, yet he also thought he deserved it.
"Are you so fixated on Bai Jiusi? She doesn’t love you at all! Liushang, listen to me. When it comes to affairs of the heart, what’s missed is missed. If you persist, you’ll only hurt yourself and others."
"Without a final attempt, how can I know the outcome? Father, I won’t give up easily." Qu Liushang was resolute.
He was the type who wouldn’t turn back until he hit a brick wall when it came to the woman he had set his heart on. He couldn’t bear to just hand over his fiancée! Moreover, Mo Yinhe said it would be a fair competition!
"But they already have children."
Qu Liushang refused to listen, saying, "Both children like me very much. I can raise them as if they were my own."
"One day you will regret it, and don’t come crying to me when that day comes. Leave me now, your presence irritates me!"
It wasn’t the sight of Qu Liushang that irritated him, but rather how much Qu Liushang resembled himself! the King mused. My son insists on walking the path I once trod; perhaps he hasn’t stumbled enough to feel the pain. Then let him keep stumbling!
Actually, he also hoped his son would succeed, to find solace through his son’s achievements for the regrets he himself could never overcome.
Qu Liushang was forced to leave.
Walking alone in the desolate corridor, he was enveloped in a chilly desolation.
Ajiu was betrothed to me in our youth, yet now she has borne Mo Yinhe two sons, he thought, an unbearable sense of injustice welling up. I must take Ajiu back! If Father’s route is blocked, I’ll go fight for her, seize her with my own hands!
The Giant Dragon, Si Mingjing, tired from playing, found an island and landed, but she didn’t know how to change back to human form.
She landed on the beach, calling out desperately, "Mo Yinhe, I can’t change back, what should I do?"
"Don’t panic."
Mo Yinhe jumped off her back. He left the unconscious Zhang Muguang lying nearby, sent his location to his subordinates, and ordered them to come over as quickly as possible.
Then, he stood in front of the beautiful Giant Dragon. At one meter eighty-five, tall and straight as a pine, he now seemed exceptionally small.
Mo Yinhe was shaken. He gazed upwards at the beautiful Giant Dragon, his deep eyes full of contemplation, and asked, "How did you become like this?"
The Giant Dragon, Si Mingjing, replied, "I’m not sure. I was just so anxious at the time, thinking that if I could become a Giant Dragon, I wouldn’t be in a position to be hit. I desired it so much, wanted to become a Giant Dragon so badly, and then it actually happened. Now, no matter how hard I try to think about becoming human again, I just can’t."
Mo Yinhe signaled her not to panic. "Focus your mind and try a few more times."
Si Mingjing concentrated hard, but after many attempts, it was still useless.
Desperate for ideas, Si Mingjing said, "No, it’s still not working. Why don’t you call Sheng Liuyun for me? I’ve seen him transform into a Giant Dragon and ride the clouds away. He definitely knows how."
Mo Yinhe: "..."
Call Sheng Liuyun? Unless I’m crazy! he thought. Although his brother-in-law would surely find out Mingjing’s identity soon, Mo Yinhe felt a sense of relief with every second of delay.
He decided to call his precious daughter instead.
Once the video call connected, Sheng Liangliang, playing in the palace playground, called out in her sweet, childish voice, "Daddy~~"
"My precious daughter, tell Daddy, how does one transform into a human in this situation?"
In the video, a beautiful Giant Dragon appeared. Her body was covered with silver-white scales that were as beautiful as moonlight, glimmering enchantingly under the sunlight.
Sheng Liangliang was stunned at the sight! "WOW! So pretty, so pretty! Daddy, who is this?"
"First, tell Daddy how to turn into a human."
Instead, Sheng Liangliang excitedly called to Ye Nianbai and Yun Xiaosu, who were at the slide, "Big brother, Susu, come quick! WOW, WOW, it’s so pretty~~"
Ye Nianbai slid down the tall slide gracefully, staring at the video. "WOW, Little Master likes~"
Yun Xiaosu also trotted over.
Three little heads huddled together, staring in awe and envy at Si Mingjing, the Giant Dragon in the video.
Mo Yinhe patiently urged, "Liangliang, quickly tell Daddy."
"UMM~~" Sheng Liangliang, sucking on her thumb, said, "Uncle said if this princess turns into a big dragon in the future, I have to sincerely think in my heart: This princess loves Uncle the most."
Mo Yinhe: "..."
Faced with his unreliable daughter and brother-in-law, the smile on Mo Yinhe’s face instantly cracked.
What kind of method is this? It sounds completely unreliable, like something used to coax children!
Yun Xiaosu raised her clear little voice. "Daddy, Susu knows! You just have to sincerely think in your heart of the one you love the most. Think about wanting to become your most beautiful self for the person you love~"
"Susu, how do you know that?" Ye Nianbai asked curiously.
"Just guessing. Liangliang loves her uncle the most in her heart."
"Little Master thinks that makes so much sense! Daddy, who is this White Dragon?"
Ye Nianbai didn’t get his father’s answer because Mo Yinhe had already hung up the call.
After hanging up, Mo Yinhe looked up with a cunning smile and teased, "Mingjing, why not try sincerely saying in your heart, ’I love Mo Yinhe the most’?"
"Keep dreaming!" the Giant Dragon, Si Mingjing, snorted haughtily.
She closed her eyes, focused her mind, and sincerely thought to herself, I love the Demon King the most.
She silently repeated it three times in her heart.
She had thought it would be useless, but the next second, the Giant Dragon’s body suddenly transformed into a human, returning to her original form.
Si Mingjing was overjoyed. "I’ve changed back!"
Facing the girl who was now a whole head shorter than him, Mo Yinhe finally regained his tall and imposing figure.
He stretched out his long arms and wrapped Si Mingjing entirely in his embrace. He kissed her, filled with a longing to know who she truly loved the most. "Mingjing," he murmured, "whose name were you silently repeating in your heart just now?"
