Protect Our Patriarch

```

……

Under the watchful gaze of Senior Brother Jinshan, Wang Zong'an was tenderly looking at the Longevity Tree.

Ever since he obtained the spirit seed of the Longevity Tree, he had been meticulously nurturing it and building a bond. After advancing to the Celestial Realm, he refined it into his life-bound spirit plant.

As his life-bound spirit tree, it wasn't quite as if they were completely in sync, but it was far from being an ordinary spirit plant. Wang Zong'an could clearly sense its joys, sorrows, and various subtle emotions.

Though it was only a few meters tall now, the effort and resources spent on its cultivation were enough to bring tears to one's eyes, far more exhausting than raising a child.

"Rustle~"

In the howling northwestern wind of the Great Desert, the Longevity Tree joyfully swayed its leaves, each one as green as jade, exuding a rich vitality.

The vibrant branches affectionately brushed against Wang Zong'an, like a young daughter being playful with her father.

"Alright, alright, Yinglu, I'm sorry for making you stay in the Xi Rang Bracelet for so long," Wang Zong'an gently comforted the Longevity Tree "Wang Yinglu," his tone as tender as if he were speaking to his own child. "I'll make sure to give you a good meal to make up for it."

Wang Yinglu was overjoyed, and the wood spirit energy emanated from her, making the air feel refreshing with every breath.

Unlike some of the unhealthy-minded senior brothers in Changchun Valley, Wang Zong'an had always treated the Longevity Tree seedling as his daughter.

He even specifically informed his father and gave her the name "Wang Yinglu," officially recording it in the family genealogy.

Thinking of those unhealthy senior brothers, Wang Zong'an couldn't help but glance at Senior Brother Jinshan.

Seeing him staring at Wang Yinglu with a dazed look, Wang Zong'an immediately became alert and, like guarding against a thief, said to Senior Brother Jinshan, "Senior Brother Jinshan, I helped you pay off Senior Sister Lu Wei's debts. Given your numerous past offenses, please stay away from my daughter. Otherwise, I'll tie you up and send you back to Senior Sister."

"Daughter?"

Senior Brother Jinshan looked at Zong'an with a gaze as if he were looking at a pervert, astonished. I thought I was already quite perverted, but Zong'an, you...

"Get ten meters away!" Wang Zong'an, usually good-tempered, couldn't control his volcanic emotions under such a gaze. "If you dare come within ten meters of my daughter, don't blame me for not considering our past friendship."

Senior Brother Jinshan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly retreated more than ten meters away.

Then, Wang Zong'an began to whisper to the Longevity Tree Wang Yinglu, occasionally casting warning glances at Jinshan.

His expression seemed to be telling his daughter to stay far away from that perverted guy, and if he dared to come close, to beat him up without hesitation, and if she couldn't, to call for her father to deal with him.

"Rustle~"

Wang Yinglu shook her branches, making a disdainful gesture towards Senior Brother Jinshan from afar.

Senior Brother Jinshan in the distance was almost in tears. Young Master Zong'an, it's one thing to secretly take away our little treasure from Changchun Valley, but to teach her to despise me...

Why is my life full of tragedies?

Zong'an, Zong'an, how could someone like you, with a perfect life, understand my bitterness and suffering?

During this brief moment of respite.

Commandery Prince An, Wu Mingyuan, and Little Commandery Prince, Wu Shengjun, gradually recovered from their shock.

For the sake of this shelterbelt, Wu Mingyuan and Wu Shengjun had visited Changchun Valley several times. How could they not recognize the Longevity Tree?

Goodness~~ Who would have thought that the Wang's Clan would be so generous as to bring a Longevity Tree spirit plant?

It's known that in the entire Great Qian, only the Purple Mansion Academy of Longzuo Commandery has a Longevity Tree.

Even the Cuiwei Vein, one of the nine veins of the Holy Land, surpasses Changchun Valley in many aspects, but in this regard, it still falls short of Changchun Valley.

"Thank you, Young Clan Leader Zong'an, for your strong support." Commandery Prince An smiled with joy as he saluted, "With the blessing of the Longevity Tree, our shelterbelt will grow faster, and the survival rate of the seedlings will surely see a significant increase."

It's known that the current survival rate of newly planted seedlings in the shelterbelt is only about one-third. Each shelterbelt has taken multiple replantings to barely take shape. This Longevity Tree is a great help.

"Your Highness is too kind." Wang Zong'an quickly supported Commandery Prince An, smiling, "Our two families are in-laws, and mutual support is only natural. Moreover, my father has decided to support Commandery Prince An, so we will do our best. However, Yinglu is still young, and the coverage of the Longevity Canopy is small. We need to plan a route for her and set up a spirit stone array in advance for her to absorb and replenish."

"Spirit stone array?" Commandery Prince An's expression turned serious, but he immediately said solemnly, "Alright, leave this to me. I'll find a way to gather a batch..."

Little Commandery Prince Wu Shengjun, standing nearby, couldn't help but tremble at these words, his face tightening involuntarily.

The Longevity Tree is excellent, significantly accelerating the growth of the shelterbelt and improving the survival rate, speeding up the formation of the oasis. But the cost is a massive investment in spirit stones...

Just thinking about it made Wu Shengjun's heart ache to the point of being unable to breathe.

Nowadays, the Commandery Prince An's household has already spent all the money they could for his father's grand vision, even selling off many ancestral properties.

The once grand Commandery Prince An's household now only has a beautiful mansion left, almost an empty shell.

Even though Wu Shengjun has tried every means to save and generate income for the household, he can't keep up with a father who spends money like water~~ What's the most expensive thing these days? Of course, it's ideals...

"Your Highness need not worry." Wang Zong'an noticed and said calmly, "I brought ten thousand low-grade spirit stones to Anbei Garrison this time, enough for Yinglu to use for several years. My father has already sent people to make long-term purchases of spirit stones, so there's no need to worry about the consumption of spirit stones in the short term."

Goodness, a casual handout of ten thousand spirit stones, worth a million top gold! The Wang's Clan even considered the future supply of spirit stones.

Commandery Prince An and his son exchanged glances, both astonished. Wu Shengjun even let out a sigh of relief.

To casually take out a million top gold, the foundation of the Changning Wang's Clan is far deeper than imagined.

It's known that the Commandery Prince An's household, due to high expenses and low income, would struggle to come up with a million top gold at once.

"This..." Commandery Prince An's face showed slight embarrassment, and he said in a low voice, "Young Clan Leader Zong'an, your Wang's Clan has brought so many talents and resources to support my plan, and I am already very grateful. To ask you to provide spirit stones as well... never mind, let's offset it with Yiluo's dowry."

Saying this, Commandery Prince An's face turned red, feeling like he was selling his daughter. But the Commandery Prince An's household was poor now, as the saying goes, "poverty diminishes ambition," even speaking lacked confidence.

"Your Highness." Wang Zong'an shook his head, his expression still gentle, "A dowry is a dowry, how can it be mixed with other matters? My father has already begun preparing Yiluo's dowry, and it will not disgrace the Little Commandery Princess."

"Moreover, my father said that there's no need to worry about money. The Imperial Heir Struggle is not a matter of a day or two. Your Highness only needs to focus on accelerating the development of Anbei Garrison. We need to show some results quickly."

"Good, good, good~" Commandery Prince An was slightly excited, holding Wang Zong'an's hand, "I, Wu Mingyuan, will not disappoint Master Wang Shouzhe's expectations. Zong'an, let's work together to show the world a miracle."

When chatting with Wang Shouzhe before, he was more happy to find a like-minded person, but he never expected that Wang Shouzhe's support and help would be so powerful.

"Your Highness, don't rush. Here are some seeds my father asked me to bring." Wang Zong'an said, taking out some tiny seeds, "These are long-rooted alfalfa. Their roots are extremely developed, reaching deep underground, and they can withstand high and low temperatures, making them suitable for planting in sandy soil to stabilize and prevent sand, and they produce silage for cattle and sheep. Over time, they can gradually improve soil quality and serve as a pioneer crop for managing vast sandy fields."

"Good stuff, large areas of alfalfa can quickly form oases, significantly improving the local ecological environment." Commandery Prince An's eyes lit up, even mentioning the ecological environment.

This was a new term he learned when chatting with Master Wang Shouzhe.

"Additionally, although the Purple Mansion Academy's drought-resistant pearl rice is a good variety and quite drought-resistant, it's ultimately not perfect." Wang Zong'an took out some pearl rice seeds, "These are the fifth-generation drought-resistant pearl rice, an improved version of the original variety. They are not only more drought-resistant but also have a fifty percent higher yield. The plants are also more palatable and nutritious as silage for livestock. Senior Sister Lu Wei spent a lot of effort and time cultivating these."

"This... this is top-grade grain seed~~" Commandery Prince An, knowledgeable in the field, was trembling with excitement, "I didn't expect that Senior Sister Lu Wei had already been researching this, and your Wang's Clan could obtain these seeds..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly froze, hesitating and sneaking a glance at Wang Zong'an.

For the sake of managing the Great Desert, he had collaborated with the academy many times over the years and had met Senior Sister Lu Wei several times.

He had also heard about that "gossip."

Now, the only two Longevity Tree seedlings in Changchun Valley of the Longzuo Academy, one was with Senior Sister Lu Wei, and the other was with Wang Zong'an. This already said a lot.

Moreover, Lu Wei's Dharma Aspect was said to be a variant rose, and Wang Zong'an's Dharma Aspect was a tree... Not only Zong'an, but even Zong'an's grandson, his future son-in-law Wang Anye, also had a tree as his Dharma Aspect...

The more Commandery Prince An thought about it, the more he felt that the "gossip" might be true.

Why did the Wang's Clan prosper? Why did they have so many high-quality plant seeds? The gossip explained it clearly: Wang's Clan Leader Wang Shouzhe, relying on his handsome and extraordinary appearance, had seduced the naive Senior Sister Lu Wei!

She even bore a son for Wang Shouzhe and sent him back to the Wang's Clan to be raised. To support her unacknowledged husband Wang Shouzhe and their son Wang Zong'an, Senior Sister Lu Wei repeatedly broke the academy's rules, selling out many of its interests...

She would often stay at the Wang's Clan for a while, reuniting with her son! There was even a time when she took Wang Zong'an to Changchun Valley, where he stayed for over ten years.

The academy also considered that Lu Wei had the potential of a great prodigy, with a bright future, so they could only secretly tolerate and cover up the matter.

The situation was very complicated.

Commandery Prince An felt a chill in his heart, quickly calming himself and pretending not to notice anything, saying, "Receiving help from Master Wang Shouzhe is my greatest fortune."

However, he was secretly thinking that having a future son-in-law with the bloodline of Senior Sister Lu Wei might not be a bad thing.

……

Western Sea Commandery.

As one of the major rivers in the Great Qian, part of the An River flows through the Western Sea Commandery and overlaps with the largest freshwater lake in the commandery, the Western Sea.

On a section of the An River, there is a gorge called "Flying Eagle Gorge."

The mighty river splits here, with one part continuing eastward and the other flowing into the Western Sea.

From above, the scene is grand and magnificent, with the vast Western Sea unfolding ahead, reflecting the sky and clouds, making one marvel at the power of nature.

Near the gorge.

On a towering rock, a middle-aged man in a short jacket and shorts, with stubble on his face, was holding a fishing rod, repeatedly casting and reeling in.

He wore a bamboo hat and wooden clogs, looking every bit like a fisherman, but his entire being exuded an indescribable dominance and strength, clearly not an ordinary person.

Behind the middle-aged man stood two burly men.

One of them had a conspicuous bald head, with a deep scar running from his left eye to his mouth, giving him a fierce and menacing appearance.

He stood there with his arms crossed, looking like a loyal bodyguard.

The other burly man was lounging on a rock, looking bored.

He was tall and muscular, wearing a rough leather armor, his attire casual, but his hands were as white as jade, like finely crafted porcelain, completely contrasting with his rugged appearance.

If Wang Shouzhe were here, he would immediately recognize the seemingly humble middle-aged man as Long Wuji, the leader of the Flood Dragon Gang.

As for the two burly men behind him, the one standing with crossed arms was his adopted son, Zhao Wuqing, the chief commander of the Flood Dragon Gang, who had been captured by Wang Shouzhe and his group before.

The other, with white jade-like hands, was naturally the third leader of the Flood Dragon Gang, Spirit Slayer "Du Tiangang."

Suddenly.

Long Wuji, who was reeling in his line, sensed something and changed his movements. Soon, a lively Snow Skin Fish from the Western Sea was caught.

Zhao Wuqing, behind him, swiftly moved and skillfully grabbed the fish by its gills, rendering its struggles futile.

"Boss, your fishing skills have improved a lot," Du Tiangang grinned, his voice rough as he complimented, "In just one morning, you've caught two three-pounders and five two-pounders, releasing those under two pounds."

"After practicing for so long, of course, my skills have improved." Long Wuji casually put down the fishing rod, contentedly leaning against a nearby rock, "It's a pity the Snow Skin Fish here in the Western Sea are still too small. If I could catch a five-pounder, that would be great. I heard there are some high-quality cold sea spirit fish near the Qingluo Garrison in the Eastern Sea, strong and thrilling to catch."

Despite his words, Long Wuji looked quite pleased. The Snow Skin Fish from the Western Sea were highly prized and sold at high prices in Guilong City. However, these spirit fish were swift and would dive to the bottom at the slightest disturbance, making them difficult to catch with nets.

Who would have thought that using a fishing rod would make catching Snow Skin Fish so easy?

Du Tiangang, following Long Wuji's lead, complimented him a few more times before smiling and saying, "Boss, I heard the Qingluo Garrison in Longzuo Commandery is developing well, and the goods passing through our hands are increasing. One of my subordinates disguised himself and went to check it out, and he came back as if he'd lost his soul. If only we could have such a territory..."

He paused, looking at Long Wuji with a hopeful gaze, "Boss, since there are no more sea pirates, and the Cao's Clan has declined, why don't we get some sea ships and expand our business to the sea?"

Long Wuji glanced at him, a cold light flashing in his deep eyes, "What, you want to go back to our old business?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare~" Du Tiangang, feeling the chill from Long Wuji's gaze, quickly waved his hands to show his innocence, "The court's crackdown on sea pirates is much stronger now. I'm not stupid enough to run into trouble. I mean legitimate business, legitimate business."

"Good, you still have some sense." Long Wuji retracted his gaze, returning to his lazy demeanor, "The Qingluo Garrison may be prosperous, but wasn't it developed by Wang Shouzhe? As long as we can get the Wang's Clan on our side, we won't have to worry about making money."

"Yes, yes, Boss is wise." Du Tiangang quickly agreed.

"A truly smart person shouldn't just focus on the present; you have to look further. The Qingluo Sea is just a coastal port; the vast ocean is the real frontier." Long Wuji gazed at the distant sea, his eyes deep and proud, pointing out the direction, "In the future, when Wang Shouzhe joins us, I'll have him help us explore overseas, develop other continents. Then, I'll lead you all to titles and honors!"

Du Tiangang, moved by his words, couldn't help but dream, "I heard there are other continents across the sea, where people have blond hair and blue eyes, looking exotic, especially the women, who are said to be stunningly beautiful. I wonder if it's true?"

Hearing this, Long Wuji burst into laughter, "Hahaha~ Look at you. Once we have money, how many exotic women do you want? Don't worry, follow me, and you'll have everything."

"Not long now, Shouzhe will be our brother. Then we'll go to the Qingluo Garrison for some fishing. Later, I'll discuss with Shouzhe about exploring new continents. Blond beauties, haha~ you'll have as many as you want."

"Hehe~ Thank you, Boss..." Du Tiangang's eyes lit up.

Zhao Wuqing, standing nearby, gave him a disdainful look. Only thinking about women, such low ambition?

However, Master Wang Shouzhe was indeed a capable person. Future cooperation would bring many benefits to the Flood Dragon Gang.

As Long Wuji and his group were eagerly planning their future, a slender reed floated down the river, moving swiftly towards them.

On the reed stood a scholarly middle-aged man.

The river wind lifted his robes, giving him an elegant and composed demeanor.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuqing stopped his actions and reported, "Father, the second leader is here."

The scholarly middle-aged man was none other than the second leader of the Flood Dragon Gang, Jiang Yusong.

As he spoke, Jiang Yusong, standing on the reed, reached the rocks. With a light step, he gracefully crossed several meters, landing on the rocks where the three were.

Long Wuji's deep eyes flashed, but his face remained calm , maintaining a hearty demeanor, "Yusong, what brings you here in such a hurry that you had to come personally?"

Jiang Yusong bowed respectfully, "Boss, I have urgent news to report. Please dismiss the others."

Long Wuji waved his hand.

Zhao Wuqing and Du Tiangang immediately took the hint and moved far away.

Once they were at a sufficient distance, Jiang Yusong took out a letter from his storage ring and handed it to Long Wuji with both hands, "Your Highness, a letter from Prince Yong'an."

Long Wuji was taken aback, "That old fellow wrote to me again? Could it be that after our last argument, he wants to scold me again?"

Despite his suspicions, he quickly took the letter and opened it.

The letter was short, with no unnecessary words. It simply described Wang Liyao's actions in the capital, Wang Zong'an's journey to Anbei Garrison with a large amount of supplies and manpower, and the suspicion that the Changning Wang's Clan had allied with Commandery Prince An.

The letter urged him to deal with the matter promptly.

Jiang Yusong stood by, cautiously observing Long Wuji's expression, worried that something in the letter might provoke him. However, Long Wuji's face remained unusually calm.

After a moment, Long Wuji calmly folded the letter and put it back in the envelope. He then walked to the edge of the rock, gazing at the rushing river, lost in thought.

Jiang Yusong, puzzled by his reaction, couldn't help but wonder if the letter had shocked him into silence.

What he didn't know was that Long Wuji was far from calm. He was merely putting on a facade, while internally, he was deeply troubled.

Who would have thought that while he was dreaming about the benefits of future cooperation with Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouzhe had quietly sided with Commandery Prince An?

This felt like a slap in the face.

No, he had to confront Wang Shouzhe about this.

But no, a gentleman's word is his bond. They had agreed on fifty years, and it hadn't been fifty years yet. If he rushed to confront Wang Shouzhe now, it would make him look desperate and impatient.

But if he didn't go, would he just watch Wang Shouzhe align with Commandery Prince An?

Long Wuji's face remained impassive, but his mind was in turmoil.

"Yusong, how much time is left until the fifty-year agreement?"

Suddenly, he asked Jiang Yusong.

"Boss, there are still three hundred and twenty days left," Jiang Yusong quickly calculated and reported.

So long still?!

Long Wuji's face twitched. It felt like watching his betrothed run off with someone else, and he couldn't do anything about it because of his promise.

"Shouzhe, I trusted you, valued you, and treated you like a brother," Long Wuji's heart cried out, "And you didn't even give me a heads-up before siding with that useless Wu Mingyuan! What's so great about Wu Mingyuan? Playing with me, Long Wuji, would be so much more fun."

Truly, "I gave my heart to the bright moon, but the moon shines on the ditch."

"But a promise is a promise. I, Long Wuji, will endure. I'll wait for one more year! Shouzhe, you must hold on, wait for me!"

"I, Long Wuji, will win you back!"

……

Over a hundred miles from Shouzhe Pass, there was a vast lake.

Though not as expansive as the Great Swamp, this lake had a significant water volume. Surveys showed that the deepest part of the lake was over a hundred meters deep, far surpassing the small Zhuhui Lake near their home.

This lake was one of the key projects in the Wang's Clan's second phase of outer region development.

In this lake lived a fierce spirit fish known as the Swordtooth Pike. Typically, a third-rank Swordtooth Pike weighed three to four thousand pounds and consumed large amounts of ordinary and spirit fish each year.

The southern water systems of An River were abundant, with many natural lakes and numerous small and medium-sized spirit veins, making them ideal for fish farming.

The Wang's Clan had been researching and learning about spirit fish farming for many years.

However, an economically viable fish species was not one like the Swordtooth Pike, which was at the top of the food chain. Despite its delicious taste and rich blood energy, it was a carnivore, requiring significant investment to raise, making it cost-ineffective.

Therefore, the Wang's Clan cleared the lake of Swordtooth Pike, storing them in cold storage as a food reserve.

Recently, Wang Shouzhe had been visiting "Deep Tai Lake" frequently for various tasks.

He named the lake "Deep Tai Lake" because it reminded him of a lake near his home in his previous life, but this lake was much deeper and had ten times the water volume, so he added "Deep" to its name.

However, Wang Shouzhe's current visit to Deep Tai Lake was not for fish farming but for the pearl grass parasitizing the clam shells.

Zhuhui Lake was too small and lacked spirit veins, providing insufficient nutrients and spirit energy for the pearl grass. The pearl grass had started to wither and even showed signs of degradation, so Wang Shouzhe had to find a better place for it.

The most suitable place he found for the pearl grass was Deep Tai Lake.

After setting up the spirit clams on the spirit vein of Deep Tai Lake, Wang Shouzhe tried to stimulate the pearl grass as usual.

He confirmed that while the pearl grass was parasitic, it was indeed a spirit plant.

With his Dao Body, his bloodline's stimulating effect was far stronger than before. Under his full stimulation and the nourishment of Deep Tai Lake's spirit vein, the pearl grass's condition improved daily, growing rapidly and maturing much faster.

In less than a year, the pearl grass had fully matured, transforming into a precious sixth-rank spirit herb.

With its maturity, it also produced three pearl grass spirit seeds, a pleasant surprise for Wang Shouzhe.

Pearl grass was a primary ingredient for the sixth-rank Tongling Baodan, with high economic value. If he could cultivate pearl grass, the Wang's Clan could have its own pearl grass industry.

However, pearl grass had a long growth cycle, taking thousands to nearly ten thousand years to mature. Even with Wang Shouzhe's Dao Body bloodline power, it could only double the growth speed at the fifth rank.

This truly meant it would take a very long time to cultivate.

But if Wang Shouzhe reached the Purple Mansion Realm, his bloodline power would increase further, potentially speeding up the cultivation significantly.

"Roar~~"

A massive Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon responded to the summons and arrived.

```It caught the scent of the mature Pearl Grass and swam excitedly in the lake, creating a massive whirlpool. Many fish that couldn't escape in time were caught in the vortex, rolling their eyes and passing out, gathered together by the swirling water.

"Awuu~"

The Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon swallowed hundreds of pounds of fish in one gulp, smacking its lips in satisfaction. Its enormous golden eyes stared eagerly at the Pearl Grass in Wang Shouzhe's hand, drooling.

"Shut up." At this moment, the petite and delicate figure of the Fire Fox Ancestor suddenly descended from the sky, landing on the Azure Flood Dragon's head. She scolded it in a sweet voice, "Little Azure Flood Dragon, you must learn to respect your master."

After a year of training, the Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon had become noticeably more obedient.

Hearing the Fire Fox Ancestor's reprimand, a look of fear flashed in its golden eyes. It then bowed its head to Wang Shouzhe in a gesture of respect.

Recently, Deep Tai Lake needed to be cleared of Sword-toothed Gar, so Wang Shouzhe had asked the Fire Fox Ancestor to bring the Azure Flood Dragon to assist, both for the task and to further train it, helping it get used to working with humans.

This Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon was quite intelligent and quickly adapted to the human pace.

After maturing the sixth-grade Pearl Grass, Wang Shouzhe discussed with the Fire Fox Ancestor and decided to give it a chance to advance.

"Azure Flood Dragon, eat this fruit and sign this spirit contract sworn by your ancestor's bloodline," the Fire Fox Ancestor coordinated with Wang Shouzhe's actions, "and you will be able to enjoy this Pearl Grass and transform into a true Yuan Shui Azure Dragon."

The eagerly awaiting Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon didn't hesitate at all, eating the fruit and signing the spirit contract.

As promised, Wang Shouzhe gave it the Pearl Grass.

The Pearl Grass had a violent medicinal property; humans had to refine it into Tongling Baodan to moderate its effects before using it to assist in breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm. However, the Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon's robust physique had no such concerns and could directly consume and digest the Pearl Grass's medicinal power.

After consuming the Pearl Grass, the Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon coiled up and began to digest the medicinal power, striving for a breakthrough. Wang Shouzhe and the Fire Fox Ancestor stood by to protect it.

One had to admit, the Pearl Grass's effects were indeed immediate.

A few days later, the Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon successfully broke through its limitations, facing the tribulation that must be endured to advance from the sixth to the seventh grade—the Dragon Transformation Tribulation.

Wang Shouzhe and the Fire Fox Ancestor immediately moved far away, observing its tribulation with some concern.

After all, if the Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon failed to break through, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Fortunately, the Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon had a solid foundation and exceptional bloodline. Without needing Wang Shouzhe's intervention, it relied on its own strength to successfully overcome the tribulation, transforming into a Yuan Shui Azure Dragon.

Under the sunlight, its newly grown dragon horns were particularly striking. Green scales, golden eyes, and twin horns on its head.

"Awuu awuu~~"

The Yuan Shui Azure Dragon let out an excited roar towards the sky, then lowered its head to look at Wang Shouzhe, speaking in human language: "I've finally turned into a dragon. You humans aren't so bad."

The voice was tender and sweet, completely like that of an underage girl.

Wang Shouzhe was stunned, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.

This, this, this, the Yuan Shui Azure Flood Dragon was female? And still underage?
