The Eastern Dragon Goddess

Of jealousy?

Zhang Xiuhuan and Xu Lian chose to rest in the open. The two of them sat before a bonfire that Zhang Xiuhuan had set up himself.

"Would we warn the kingdom about the demons' plans?" Honestly Xu Lian was indeed disappointed at the treatment of his father as well as the people of the palace, but for the destruction everything was not what he expected.

"Why do you care about them?" Zhang Xiuhuan started to get annoyed with Xu Lian's attitude of always caring for them whereas they just didn't think it existed.

"I don't care about them, I just don't want all the kingdoms to be destroyed, nor do I want what happens with Jingmi" Xu Lian lowered his head in without seeing Zhang Xiuhuan directly. Zhang Xiuhuan took a heavy breath, he had no other choice but to agree to it.

"Alright I'll send them a warning" Xu Lian raised his face and looked directly at Zhang Xiuhuan with a fluffy smile.

"You're serious?" asked Xu Lian enthusiastically. Zhang Xiuhuan simply nodded his head in response.

"Thank you Xiuhuan"

"You should rest now, tomorrow we'll pass the sea" Xu Lian did not reply he just nodded his head, and immediately laid himself down on the cloth he had prepared.

"Your Majesty, the soldier from the west gate wants to face" Kasim told Xu Kong as he bowed his body respectfully.

"Let him in!"

"Okay Your Majesty" from the outside entered a fully clothed soldier before Xu Kong.

"Greetings Your Majesty"

"What's wrong?" asked Xu Kong curiously.

"Your Majesty brought you a message" the soldier took out a paper scroll and gave it to Xu Kong. Xu Kong received the letter and wondered what the letter contained.

"Who sent this center?"

"A bird, but a bird is very strange" said the soldier, recalling the shape of the bird that sent the letter.

"What do you mean weird?" Xu Kong frowned in confusion.

"The bird has a bat-like shape but has a bird's head" Xu Kong had never heard of such a bird but he did not want to take it for granted.

"All right, now you can go"

"Hamba resigned his Majesty" The soldier left Xu Kong alone.

Xu Kong opened the scroll slowly. Xu Kong was shocked when he opened the scroll which read 'Prepare the Devil Nation will destroy you all' with ink made of blood. To Xu Kong this was an insult but he could not regard this warning as mere talk.

"Eunuch!" shouted Xu Kong.

"What's up, sir?" a eunuch guarding the Xu Kong pavilions immediately faced Xu Kong after he heard a call from Xu Kong.

"Immediately send an invitation to the entire kingdom and the entire white sect to hold a meeting" Xu Kong said seriously.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'm resigned"

Zhang Xiuhuan and Xu Lian continued on their way back after resting on the open ground. Now the two of them will continue their journey to hold a freight ship at a dock.

"You wait here I'll look for a ship heading east" Xu Lian simply nodded his head.

Xu Lian looked at Zhang Xiuhuan's departure from before him, and his gaze circled the contents of the pier quite crowded. There were a great many merchants who brought their wares there was also a family who wanted to visit their distant relatives.

"Hey I've got his boat" Xu Lian was surprised when Zhang Xiuhuan patted him on the shoulder.

"Ehh yes" Zhang Xiuhuan frowned looking at Xu Lian's strange demeanor. He surrounded his gaze suspiciously and could see that there was someone who was always staring at Xu Lian, the man did not give off his murderous aura to Xu Lian but Zhang Xiuhuan could tell from those eyes that he wanted something.

"Don't mind him, if he dares to go I'll kill him" Zhang Xiuhuan said, then pulled Xu Lian's march away from the place.

Xu Lian simply followed Zhang Xiuhuan into a large ship. There were some merchandise being transported onto the plane and also many small children running around being chased by their parents, Xu Lian smiled to himself looking at it.

"We're going through this journey for a day and night, so tomorrow morning we're in the east and this is the key with your room number" Zhang Xiuhuan gave a key to Xu Lian.

"You know I often think where's the money you have, as if it's endless?" Xu Lian received the key that Zhang Xiuhuan had given him.

"I even have money that can buy an empire" Xu Lian laughed softly at Zhang Xiuhuan's remark.

"Times?"

"My kingdom held onto its wealth for several years and all of its treasures I kept in this ring of space" Zhang Xiuhuan pointed out a silver plain ring.

"You're rich too"

Zhang Xiuhuan turned to stare at a man wearing a hood, as did Xu Lian who followed Zhang Xiuhuan's gaze.

"Here's a ship too, Hey Xiuhuan do you know where he's from?" ask Xu Lian.

"From his clothes like he's from the Saharan" Xu Lian nodded his head.

"Why do you always look at him? you likey?" zhang Xiuhuan asked suddenly which made Xu Lian half-dead shocked.

"Whatchu mean? I was just following your point of view" now Xu Lian's gaze turned toward Zhang Xiuhuan.

"You don't need to reason, you're staring at him constantly which means you like him!" Zhang Xiuhuan did not want to lose the talk.

"Do you want me to always look at you huh?" asked Xu Lian growled.

"Yes, and I'm asking you not to see anyone but me!" Xu Lian rounded his face in disbelief at what Zhang Xiuhuan said.

Zhang Xiuhuan suddenly pulled Xu Lian into his arms which made Xu Lian very surprised. Xu Lian wanted to rebel to let go of his embrace but his intention was undone when he found out that the man wearing the hood was already in front of him.

"Greetings ladies and gentlemen" he said politely. Zhang Xiuhuan was just silent, he did not want to answer the greetings from this man but not after Xu Lian stomped his feet hard.

"Yeah" Zhang Xiuhuan said indifferently.

"Include say Thorin of Saharan, I am a noble" he said with a proud eye.

"Oh" Zhang Xiuhuan replied briefly without wanting to introduce himself as well. Likewise with Xu Lian he could only be silent, he could also sense something not good from the man's sight.

"Khemmm" the man coughed softly as silence surrounded them.

"May I know what the names of the two of you are" he asked still in a polite tone.

"It's important that you know what our names are" Zhang Xiuhuan said coldly.

"It's a pity that we go to our room" Xu Lian opened his eyes wide to hear Zhang Xiuhuan calling him 'honey', dear', to be honest Xu Lian felt a strange sigh in his heart when Zhang Xiuhuan called him that but he did not want to think about it further.

Xu Lian could only follow where Zhang Xiuhuan had pulled him away.

"I'll definitely get the girl!" thought the hooded man with a smile on his face.
