The Golden Throne

Chapter 132 - Azure Dragon

Amelia saw that there was still a lot of dried blood everywhere, and she just looked away. It seemed that the blood from a month ago still had not disappeared here. It just dried up here, and stains were just on the ground. In a place filled with magical beasts, there was obviously no one to clean anything up. Only nature could over a long time.

She shivered a bit, just thinking about what had happened. Liu Feng saw this and just shook his head. At some point, people had to learn to face reality. He turned right, towards the direction the monster horde came that day. Turning right he looked at the sides to make sure that no monster was heading towards them.

He kept going straight, but weirdly enough, he was driving with his eyes closed.

"Can this thing, I mean car, go forward by itself?", Amelia asked.

"Of course not. Why would you think that? Wait, forget it. Nothing wrong in thinking that actually. I am not exactly closing my eyes. There is a technique of mana that I employ regularly.  I am looking further than my eyes can see using mana, so that we won't encounter any monsters on the way.", Liu Feng explained.

"You can see further using mana? How is that? I want to learn as well.", Amelia asked Liu Feng with an excited face.

"Don't be stupid. We are here on work. I can't exactly stop in the middle of nowhere and teach you something that you might not even make a lot of use of. Just focus on the task at hand.", Liu Feng rebuked her instantly.

Amelia pouted as she turned the other way. Seeing this, Liu Feng shook his head. "I give up. Fine, I will teach you after we get back. But don't tell you that I didn't warn you. It is going to be very, very boring."

"Oh, I see. Fine then.", she just kicked back and dozed off on the seat.

"What? First she makes me think that she really wants to learn the technique, and then when I tell her that I will teach her, no response. What the hell is wrong with this girl?", Liu Feng thought to himself as he shook his head. "Women are complicated.", he smiled bitterly.

"What was that?", Amelia opened her left eye a little.

"Nothing, nothing.", Liu Feng said. Inside, he was drenched in sweat. "How the hell did she hear that? I was so sure that I was talking to myself in my head."

Shaking himself from his line of thought, he started paying more attention to the road in front of him.

Liu Feng kept driving at a steady pace, neither fast nor slow. The sun started setting eventually, signalling the evening, yet Liu Feng had no idea where he was.

He stopped to the side to gather his thoughts. "Oh god, I thought that this would lead to the centre of the magic forest, where the king was, but how wrong I was! I should have at least asked father for any maps that the kingdom has of the magic forest. Someone must have gone deep into the forest right?", he lamented as he rested his head on his steering wheel.

"What happened? Where are we?", Amelia asked Liu Feng. Liu Feng had no idea how to answer her, but he did not want to show any weakness and let her panic.

"We are getting there. A little more time.", he smiled and started the car again.

He continued along the road. Right now, he was just hoping and begging that the path that they were going was the right one, and that they would get to the throne, or whatever the king sat on, quickly.

He saw that after a point, he stopped seeing and hearing any monsters at all. He stopped the car and closed his eyes. He started spreading his mana towards the direction that he was going to, when he heard a voice. 

"It is very rude to look at someone's place without their permission, child.", a slow, and quiet voice rang in his ears. The voice was almost transcendent as if a wise old moose was speaking.

Liu Feng opened his eyes immediately. He glanced at the direction where he spread his mana, knowing that there was another mythical spirit in that direction. He was just hesitant to go there without knowing which spirit was there, and how it felt towards humans.

"Don't worry. Pan Long won't hurt you. He is a gentle being, incapable of harming without reason.", Aquous' voice chimed in.

"Pan Long? Who is that?", Liu Feng asked Aquous.

"Don't worry about all that. You will meet him. Go there. The night alone in the woods is terrifying, especially this deep in the forest, and with another to protect. Pan Long will deter the more powerful beasts.", Auquous said.

Hearing that reassured Liu Feng, and he went forward in that direction without spreading his mana to check his surroundings. He knew that no magical beast would dare to enter the territory of a mythical beast. After about ten minutes of driving, he finally came across a huge lake.

Seeing the lake and nothing else, he knew immediately that this was the mythical beast of the water element. He stopped the car and looked towards the lake to see nothing but the shimmering sunset on the lake's surface.

He got out of the car without alerting Amelia, and he bowed towards the lake.

"Liu Feng greets senior."

The lake rumbled, and a huge figure came out of it. Water spewed everywhere, waking Amelia up. The first thing that she saw was a huge shadow and Liu Feng infront of it. She looked aghast, and an adrenaline rush kicked in immediately. Liu Feng looked at her and saw her panicking. Predicting her to do something to make the situation worse, he rushed towards her to calm her down.

"This is one of the mythical beasts. Don't worry. Just calm down and let me speak to him."

The mythical beast here looked eerily similar to a dragon, to the true form of Arad that Liu Feng had seen, except for a few key differences. This dragon had a more mysterious aura about it, and it felt like it merged with the lake itself. And then, it had the exact opposite elemental disposition.

The dragon looked at Liu Feng by coming close to him.

"I smell Aquous off of you boy. Is she faring well?"

"Tell him that it has been a few centuries since his last visit, and that I am getting bored."

Liu Feng proceeded to act as a sort of a telephone between the two beings, just conveying Aquous' thoughts. Finally, after an hour of speaking to each other, the dragon looked at Liu Feng. "What brings a human this deep into the magical forest? Surely Aquous wouldn't have told you to risk your life just to speak with me."

"We wish to speak with the king of the magical forest."

The dragon just pulled back immediately.
