Chapter 98: The Royal Saint Dragon and a Swimsuit Feast

Species: Royal Saint Dragon

Order: Divine Beast Order

Family: Dragon Family

Genus: Ancient Dragon Genus

System: Rule System

Biological Introduction: The Royal Dragon race practices strict monogamy. In their juvenile stage, neither wings nor dragon horns are present; their emergence signifies adulthood.

Female Royal Dragons, during pregnancy, experience a change in eye color to pink, and their golden wings lose their luster. The gestation period typically lasts around five years.

Upon entering old age, the Royal Dragons’ claws gradually turn from gold to black, their wings begin to shrink, and their dragon horns will fracture and fall away.

Several months after their demise, their physical body safely condenses within a Dragon Pearl, which the Dragon Venerable then collects and inters in the Dragon Tomb.

The Royal Saint Dragon is born with a certain level of cultivation, possessing an innate divine ability known as the Three Kings’ Hegemony. Each clone is endowed with multiple chances for resurrection, with the Dragon Venerable having the most, capable of reviving up to nine times.

Okay, the record is complete.

Xian Yuan closed her bracelet. The reason for not detailing the talents represented by the Royal Saint Dragon’s scales was a reminder from the Ice Demon Dragon clan’s situation.

Survival of the fittest dictates that many parts of a Royal Saint Dragon are treasures. It is not uncommon for other races to kill them for these treasures. However, if the secret of their innate talents were known, it would not rule out the possibility of them being captured and raised in captivity or even outright theft, which could severely endanger the entire race.

Some might argue, ‘Wouldn’t revealing their treasures be the same?’

That’s absurd. Is it easier to deal with a mature individual or a juvenile? Capturing and raising a single young one in captivity is far simpler than risking one’s life to fight an adult. Such a scenario would inevitably lead to a Human-Dragon War 2.0, a situation no one wishes to see.

“You may return now.”

“It’s already done?”

“Indeed.”

“Then, Senior Xian Yuan, I shall take my leave.”

“Travel safely.”

With the departure of the little mermaid, Xian Yuan finally noticed that it was well past midnight.

‘It’s so late! Time to sleep!’

Xian Yuan decided against staying up to cultivate; preserving her life was paramount. She quickly scurried out of the laboratory and went to bed.

If you ask why cultivators still need sleep, the answer is simple: it’s a habit.

Meanwhile, in Murong Fier’s room,

Murong Fier was hiding beneath her covers, her face flushed with embarrassment.

‘How could Xian Yuan be like that!’

Recalling how she had brought food to Xian Yuan earlier that night, the closer she got to the laboratory, the clearer those indecent sounds became. A blush spread across her face.

‘I never imagined Xian Yuan had a preference for lilies!’

Murong Fier found herself caught in a deep confusion. She could no longer understand Xian Yuan. Was her initial act of snatching her bellyband truly her nature, or merely a playful prank?

“Wuwuwu~~~”

Murong Fier buried her face in her pillow, a faint wisp of steam beginning to rise from her head, making her resemble a human steam engine.

Xian Yuan remained blissfully unaware that she had once again been misunderstood.

‘Xian Yuan: I’m not a lily, I’m not! I’m not!!!’

Elsewhere, above a vast ocean, Leng Xi gazed at her handiwork with immense satisfaction.

Indeed, this expansive ocean was Leng Xi’s creation. The mere thought of tomorrow’s swimsuit feast filled her with even greater excitement, a lustful smile curving her lips.

Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion

Inside the mermaid clan’s guest room, a meeting was underway.

“Father King, what did you say?”

The little mermaid, who had just left Xian Yuan’s side, looked at her father in disbelief.

“Yu Ying, I’m sorry to put you through this.”

The Mermaid King gently stroked his daughter’s pale blue hair.

For the past few days, the mermaid clan had been staying in Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, where Wang Zhe had arranged oversized standard rooms for them.

Wang Zhe had no intention of annihilating the mermaid clan, considering them, after all, merely a pitiful race trapped within the Eastern Sea Secret Realm.

“Father King, why do you want me to follow that human?” Yu Ying asked.

She couldn’t understand why her father wanted her to become that human’s maid. She was, after all, a princess of the mermaid clan.

“That human is the Saintess of the Royal Saint Dragon race. Following her might be your only chance to escape this accursed place.”

The Mermaid King looked at his beloved daughter, his voice tender. “Yu Ying, this is for the future of the entire mermaid clan. We are confined to the Eastern Sea Secret Realm; though it offers tranquility, our growth is limited. Your Father King hopes you can live freely in the outside world, rather than spending your entire life here with your mother and me, like ancient monks by a dim lamp.”

Upon hearing her father’s explanation, a flicker of hesitation crossed Yu Ying’s eyes. She knew her father’s intentions were good, yet an unsettling feeling lingered within her. “But Father King, I don’t want to leave you and Mother. I wish to stay here and live with our people,” she stated firmly.

The Mermaid King smiled faintly, stroking his daughter’s cheek, his eyes revealing profound love and understanding. “Yu Ying, you are my pride. Your Father King wishes for you to venture out into the world.”

Yu Ying’s heart was filled with trepidation, but ultimately, she accepted her father’s arrangements.

The next day,

Xian Yuan had already prepared her swimsuit and was examining herself intently in front of the mirror.

She was clad in a white swimsuit. Its design was truly unique, with small silver rings connecting the center of the swimsuit, through which silver chains threaded, extending upwards to just above her navel, forming a shimmering silver trail.

The swim shorts, equally inventive, featured small silver-white rings on both sides of the hips, mirroring the top’s design and presenting a graceful, fluid aesthetic.

Xian Yuan smiled faintly, secretly praising the swimsuit’s ingenious design. Her reflection, adorned in white, appeared even more pristine and captivating.

She walked to the window and drew back the curtains, allowing the dazzling sunlight to stream into the room, bathing the swimsuits and making them sparkle like lustrous pearls from the ocean.

Xian Yuan’s eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation; she knew today would be a day filled with joy.

Gazing at the array of swimsuits on her bed, each distinct in style and allure, Xian Yuan let out a wicked grin.

“Heheheh.”

‘I can’t even imagine how stunning Sister Murong and Sister Zhi Jiu would look in these.’

Xian Yuan retrieved a set of casual clothes from her wardrobe and dressed herself.

She certainly couldn’t stroll through the streets in a swimsuit; she wasn’t that uninhibited.

Having tidied her attire, Xian Yuan stepped out of her room, coincidentally meeting Leng Xi, who was approaching her.

“Are you ready?” Leng Xi asked, her voice eager.

“Long since ready.”

Xian Yuan, observing the impatient Sister Leng Xi, pulled out the Azure Sea Swimsuit from her spatial ring.

The Azure Sea Swimsuit was a dazzling spectacle of dreamy hues, its blue top adorned with sparkling silver pendants, evoking the grandeur of an undersea queen.

“I love it.”

Leng Xi gazed at the swimsuit, a pervert’s smile spreading across her face as she imagined Wang Zhe and the others wearing it.

“That’s perfect then. Let’s go deliver them to Sister Zhi Jiu and the others right away.”

“Immediately!”

Leng Xi, filled with enthusiasm, eagerly pulled Xian Yuan’s delicate hand and headed towards Zhi Jiu’s room, for lustful nature, after all, was inherent.
