Chapter 55

Also, this sovereign used to be an orphan dragon, and had been bullied by many dragons before he came into power, so there was basically no dragon on his side. While he was seriously injured now, lost his tail and dragon horns and was cursed by the abyssal devils, he just might be able to recover if he used all his treasures. Unfortunately, he was resolute and decisive in killing, and never gave any dragon any benefit, so there was no dragon who was willing to support him.

Based on the fact that he was the strongest among the younger generation and had the support of five Rank 6 and above elders from the Green Dragon Clan, Ao Qin immediately stuffed a chongxi bride on the tyrant the moment he was injured. Things like elixirs and spiritual fruit were all cut off, and Ao Qin even joined forces with the ambitious Green Dragon Clan to hoodwink the masses.

The other dragons only felt that their own interests were being threatened by his actions, and did not really care about how the sovereign was.

Well, actually, they did care—as long as he did not die before they got their hands on his dragon horns, it was fine.

They were not as strong as Ao Qin; they couldn’t beat him in a fight, were not his match in plotting and scheming, and were unwilling to pay the price to save a sovereign who might be disabled for life. In addition, the members of their clanspeople added up were less than the Green Dragon Clan. So, naturally, they could only choose to submit.

Ao Qin was not unaware of their little thoughts, but as long as his own clan stood to benefit, he didn’t care about what the other clans thought. “Is there anything else in the territory recently?”

The White Dragon Clan’s inner minister was a dragon who looked to be in his youth. He replied respectfully, “My lord, the territory has been very peaceful recently. The dwarves and orcs are very well-behaved and haven’t made any trouble. On the other hand, the humans, because …”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “Because the sovereign had been severely injured, many county officials who were originally appointed by the sovereign have been assassinated, and the human race is in a state of unrest.”

Ao Qin nodded and snorted. “There’s no need to discuss humans. Uncle Li, take a few of the clan’s younger ones to a few counties to take a look. Suppress it a little, don’t let them make a big ruckus.

“They’re mere ants, even if they died, many more will be reproduced, they’re not worth any attention,” Ao Qin instructed.

“All right, you may all go,” Ao Qin waved his hand. The inner ministers exchanged looks, acknowledged his order, and left.

After leaving the main hall, Uncle Li gave the other four inner ministers a professional fake smile, and said with concealed condescension, “Everyone, His Excellency has instructed me to get some things done, I’ll be heading off first.”

The others returned the smile, waved in a friendly manner, and watched Uncle Li leave.

After Uncle Li left, the four glanced at each other tacitly, summoned their spirit clouds and quickly flew away from the tyrant’s manor.

A few moments later, in a VIP room of the Bishui Inn about thirty to forty kilometres from the tyrant’s manor, the two inner ministers of the White Dragon Clan and the Golden Dragon Clan have gathered together again.

Bishui Inn was one of the most famous restaurants under Jinjiang Auction House, and also one of the restaurants with the most complete protection of their guests’ privacy. The two were both above Rank 5, and after activating the boundary enchantment, unless a strong person of Rank 7 snooped in on them, no one would be able to hear their conversation.

“Bai Huan, what do you think of this Ao Qin?” Jin Yan propped up his chin and raised his eyes to look at the youth in front of him.

Bai Illusion gave him an exasperated look, “You sent me a voice transmission when you left just to gossip about Lord Ao Qin?”

Jin Yan smiled, “Doesn’t the sight of him piss you off?”

Bai Huan took a bite of the food, “He’s all right by me.”

His reply rendered Jin Yan speechless. He knew that the White Dragon Clan had only a hundred or so clanspeople, and didn’t really care about those spots—to them, one spot was enough. So, he did not continue with that topic, and only said, “Let’s talk about something fun before getting down to business. Do you remember that wasted dragon’s chongxi bride?”

Bai Huan raised an eyebrow noncommittally, “That chongxi prop? She’s only a Rank 1 cultivator, and her father is Mu Shan, right?”

Jin Yan nodded, a smile spreading across his face, “That’s her.”

“My subordinate told me that she recently made two trips to the elven market under my jurisdiction, and had bought quite a few sets of men’s clothes the last time,” said Jin Yan. “That woman is also really interesting, has she really prepared herself to take care of that worthless thing?”

A faint smile also appeared on Bai Huan’s face. As both the Golden Dragon Clan and the White Dragon Clan did not have many people, he had grown up with Jin Yan since childhood. When they were still very weak and young, as haughty dragons belonging to the clans, they looked down on orphaned mixed-blood dragons, and had bullied that worthless dragon often.
