Chapter 209 Pulling His Dragon Beards
Zhai Rongyu picked up a talisman, her eyes gleaming, "I can count these talismans."
Qinghe scoffed, "Why should we believe you? Who knows if you're lying?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" said the silver fish monster.
Everyone turned to look at it, only to see it break off two scales from its gills, wave them in its hand, and say, "These two scales of mine are just enough to count!"
"Just scrape it with my fish scales, and the quantity will be displayed on the scales!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cultivator chimed in, "Indeed, last time I was meditating in the East Sea, I happened to see it using these scales to tease jellyfish and count their feet."
The crowd burst into laughter.
The silverfish monster blushed. "That's not the point! The point is that my scales can be counted!"
The one-eyed monk made the decision for them, "Then we'll use these scales."
"But who among you will challenge me?"
Qinghe helped her young mistress up, "On our side, it's naturally my young mistress. My young mistress's hair is nourished with spiritual energy every day, it will never lose to theirs!"
Just as Jun Ce was about to look at Zhai Rongyu, she pushed him out.
The girl giggled and said, "He'll be the one to fight on our side."
Jun Ce: ?
Zhai Rong chuckled to herself.
[Just kidding, my Ah Xu is a dragon!]
[That dragon had so many whiskers and was so long!]
[How could we possibly lose to you?]
Jun Ce chuckled, but his heart was filled with thoughts of "my Ah Xu," so he let her make a fuss.
With the participants selected, the one-eyed monk then had the silver fish monster step forward to measure the two of them.
It moved closer to Qinghe and was about to reach out to scratch her young mistress's hair when it was angrily shouted, "Be careful! The young mistress's hair is precious! If you break it, you'll lose your fish life!"
The silverfish monster rolled its eyes.
Qinghe snatched the fish scales from its hand and gently scraped them across her young mistress's head, revealing "153,500 scales".
The onlookers marveled.
"An average person has about 100,000 hairs, but this girl has 50,000 more than the average person!"
Qinghe looked smugly at Zhai Rongyu.
Women's hair is naturally thicker than men's, let alone her young lady's!
Hmph, that poor wretch is definitely going to lose!
The silverfish monster swished its tail and moved behind Jun Ce. Zhai Rongyu smiled at it, "Thank you for your help~"
The silverfish monster smiled and nodded.
Look, look!
That's what politeness is all about!
It gently shook its whiskers and reached out to measure Jun Ce.
The silver fish scales shimmered, displaying "307,600 scales".
Everyone was in an uproar!
"Wow! Are men's hair this thick these days?"
"Open your eyes and look closely. Someone that handsome can't possibly be an ordinary man!"
Zhai Rongyu almost burst out laughing and pounded the ground.
I knew it!
[Ah Xu can't possibly lose!]
Oh dear, I really want to see Ah Xu in his true form someday, I'd love to tug on his dragon whiskers and play with them!
Jun Ce: ...
He closed his eyes as if he hadn't heard.
Qinghe rushed over and snatched the scale away, exclaiming, "How is this possible?!"
The quantity displayed above is clear and unambiguous.
The girl was also somewhat incredulous. She squinted at Jun Ce, a hint of suspicion flashing through her mind.
Zhai Rong strolled leisurely up to Qing He and said, "You've lost."
Seeing Qinghe's sour face, Zhai Rongyu's eyes curved into crescents. "Oh dear, is someone going to renege on their debt?"
The crowd erupted in excitement.
"There are so many eyes watching!"
"Who dares to renege on their debt!"
The crowd was in an uproar. Qinghe was frightened and ran to the girl, "Miss..."
A flash of coldness crossed the girl's eyes, but she smiled gently and said, "Gentlemen, how could we possibly renege on a debt of just four thousand taels?"
"Qinghe, pay for this young lady."
She handed over the purse, and Qinghe took it. Although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and say "yes." She went to the one-eyed monk, paid the money, and threw the cloak of righteousness to Zhai Rongyu.
Zhai Rongyu accepted it lightly.
【Hey~】
Free food is always the best!
[I suddenly think this cape is so cool! And so useful!]
Thanks a lot!
The girl's face was full of smiles, and her snow-white face was flushed with excitement.
Jun Ce glanced down at her, then turned slightly to block everyone's view.
Qinghe couldn't stand it anymore and snorted coldly, "It's just a cloak, is it really worth you being this happy?"
“I’ve never seen the world.”
She raised her head with a hint of pride, "My young lady is the legitimate daughter of the Flood Dragon Clan—Long Qianxue. What kind of good things doesn't she have?"
"Consider this cloak a gift to you."
The gods, ghosts, demons, and monsters around them all gasped in shock upon hearing the maid's words.
Even the way they looked at Long Qianxue became more respectful.
"A dragon?!"
"That's the one who's about to rule the Dragon Palace!"
"It is said that the current Dragon King has no sons. He had a daughter in his early years, but she ran away from home, and the lineage of the true dragon has been wiped out."
"We are currently preparing to find a successor from the Jiaolong lineage."
"It seems they've already decided on someone named Long Zhuochi?"
"This Long Qianxue seems to be Long Zhuochi's fiancée, and she will become the Dragon Queen in the future!"
"Wow! That's quite an impressive background!"
The power of the Dragon Clan should not be underestimated.
Even a minor branch of a dragon is enough to strike fear into the hearts of many.
No one in the Three Realms dares to provoke him.
"No wonder a mere maid dares to be so arrogant."
Long Qianxue glanced at the maid and said reproachfully, "Qinghe, don't make a scene."
He said that, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were full of superiority.
Upon hearing this, Zhai Rongyu suddenly gripped Jun Ce's hand tightly.
[A dragon...]
"Then they can be considered dragons."
[This is bad. If they find out Ah Xu's identity, it might cause trouble.]
We need to get out of here right away!
She felt a little nervous, exchanged a glance with Jun Ce, and gently tilted her head to signal him to leave.
Qinghe, with her sharp eyes, noticed Zhai Rongyu's expression and snorted coldly, "Now you know how powerful our young lady is, right?"
"I was just letting it go earlier!"
"If it weren't for our young lady's magnanimity, we wouldn't have let you off so easily."
Zhai Rongyu did not respond to her.
She's extremely anxious now, and she's filled with regret.
I shouldn't have joined in the fun.
Now look what's happened, they've pushed Ah Xu into a fire pit!
Jun Ce heard Zhai Rongyu's thoughts and gently patted his hand in a comforting gesture.
Just as she was about to take her away, Long Qianxue's gaze shifted from Jun Ce's face to their clasped hands. She inadvertently noticed the Star River Moon Shadow Bracelet on Zhai Rong's wrist, and her eyes widened suddenly.
That's... a Dragon's Roar Stone?!
She took a few steps forward in disbelief, and sure enough, it was the Dragon Roar Stone!
Long Qianxue's heart was filled with excitement.
Dragon Roar Stone has long since disappeared.
The last piece of the Dragon Palace had already been taken away by Aunt Luo, so how did it end up in this woman's hands?!
"Stop!" she shouted urgently, halting the two of them.
