Chapter 268: The Love Destruction Test
The Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the two mother rivers of China’s land.
Even the Yellow River has a bad temper. It often overflows and even took over the mouth of the Huai River, making the Huai River have to find the Yangtze River with tears in its eyes. The elder sister, the Yangtze River, kindly took the Huai River in and they shared the same way to the sea.
Bai Wei had never heard of it before. It turned out that neither the Yellow River nor the Yangtze River had a dragon god, but the Huai River, which had become a tributary of the Yangtze River, had one.
"The Yellow River is too temperamental, and the Yangtze River is too wide," said Bai Wei.
"It’s risky to be the river god. Floods and droughts are beyond human control. Even dragons can’t handle them. Once disasters occur, the river gods will face backlash from the people’s grievances," Xue Hanlei explained.
Yun Wuxin added, "Moreover, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are very ancient river systems. The Yellow River’s water god, Hebo, and the ice god Bingyi… In ancient myths, Yinglong assisted Great Yu in controlling floods and Bingyi was defeated by Yinglong, making a contribution to Great Yu’s water management. Is it still there now?"
Ao Hanli said, "Yun Wuxin should be in Kunlun Realm, he was already a god. And as for Bingyi, if it’s still alive, it should be in the Yellow River. But it’s hard to find these ancient gods."
Bai Wei mentioned, "Duke Yu had also been to the Huai River. Yun Wuxin and the water god of the Huai River had a fight, it was that monkey… the prototype of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. Since it happened in the Huai River, Xue Hanlei should know if that monkey is still alive."
Xue Hanlei responded indifferently, "Hmm, it’s alive."
"Huh?" Yun Wuxin. was surprised, "It’s not dead?"
"Duke Yu didn’t kill it, how could it die? They just locked it up, but that was in the mythological era. Now, no one knows where it’s being kept."
"Oh no, what if it’s released someday and comes to bother you?" Bai Wei. gloated.
"Let’s not even think about whether it can come out or not. Even if it does, it can’t harm my loved ones," said Xue Hanlei, sounding light-hearted. "Wuzhiqi got married to a dragon maiden. He is a legitimate son-in-law of the East Sea Dragon Palace and our nominal ancestor. In terms of generation, he is even higher than the Dragon King Grandfather. My father manages the Huai River on his behalf, and the Dragon Palace was built on the foundation he created. He hasn’t even had a chance to say thank you yet."
"Oh… is Wuzhiqi, this monkey from the water, also a son-in-law of the Dragon Palace?"
At the other side of the arena, it seemed that the outcome had been decided. The water creatures had won, but there were no dragons among the losers.
Black Dragon Yuan Beichi lost to Bai Wei, a genuine warrior from the North Sea Black Dragons who was renowned for his skills. He lost to a human, moreover, someone who didn’t even use a weapon. His bones were broken, and even his dragon horn was shattered. This news is bound to spread at lightning speed.
Yun Wuxin sighed and said, "You will definitely encounter troubles in the future, as dragons hold grudges."
Xue Hanlei also thought about this issue and furrowed her brow slightly, saying, "This time, it’s on me…"
She had guessed that the Black Dragon would return, but she didn’t expect Bai Wei to win. At first, she planned to ask Yun Wuxin for help. However, yesterday Bai Wei displayed great power, which made her consider the possibility that Bai Wei could handle it. As it turned out, he not only could handle it, but he was very capable.
The problem was that he became too powerful.
In the Ming Country’s inland, there were many hills covered in forests, divided into two categories: humans and gods.
Among humans, there were ordinary people and immortal practitioners. Ordinary people included warriors, scholars, and Taoist priests, among others. Immortal practitioners were also divided into several categories, such as the immortal heroes of Shu Mountain and the exiled immortals of Bai Yu Jing. The former worked to uphold justice in the world, while the latter cultivated to ascend through the rising mist and clouds.
The gods can be divided into new and old. The new gods are various gods of mountains, rivers, and even dragons and city gods. The old gods are represented by the Kunlun faction, with the Queen Mother of the West as their leader, including figures like Lu Wu and Ying Long… They are not so much ancient gods as they are born powerful and do not need to stay in the human world. In fact, Kunlun is not in the human world either; it is located in another dimension. It is said that by going through Kunlun, one can reach another dimension called the Great Wilderness.
The demon race in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is a part of the descendants left behind in the Great Wilderness.
The mythology of the East and West is different, as well as their mysteries and histories.
In the mythical land of Europa, there was a great struggle among the gods. It ended with the victory of the Supreme Will. As a result, the Sacred Religion became the dominant belief system and thrived for centuries. It held control over miracles. If it wasn’t for the emperor Bai Wei, who rebelled and created the alliance, the Sacred Religion would have remained the sole power in Europa. Other races would either have been eradicated or enslaved.
The Supreme Will favored humans, considering other races to be descendants of ancient and forgotten gods, who were supposed to be eliminated.
In the ancient struggle that took place in the East, there were gods like Xuan Yuan, Da Yu, Xing Tian, and Kuafu. It was a time when humans and gods coexisted, but there were also many disasters. Even powerful dragons were just a meal on the table, and humans suffered even more. Chang Xi deliberately drove the celestial carriage to bathe in the sun, bringing along ten golden crows. Countless people perished under the scorching sun, and there was great suffering. Later, Houyi shot down the sun, but Chang Xi, as the wife of Emperor Di Jun, did not receive any punishment.
In the struggle of the East, no god gained ultimate dominance. Instead, it ended with the victory of humans.
Due to the severed connection between gods and humans, there was a division between them, and the mortal world flourished freely.
Bai Wei stretched lazily and said, "If the dragon clan causes trouble for me, they would be violating international treaties. Though Yingzhou may be weak, the shogun is not. Do you think a mere dragon would dare to provoke the heroic spirits in power?"
The Four Seas Group is very powerful and they do all kinds of business, both openly and secretly. But the Dragon Clan is not uncontrollable. If they were to commit any illegal activities, it would be a serious international dispute if Bai Wei were to make a big deal out of it.
Is the Black Dragon causing trouble for someone from the Ming Country in Yingzhou?
The three countries are in disagreement, and the scholars in the consulates are getting nervous. They slap their thighs and say, "How fascinating! Now the Black Dragon of the North Sea will make headlines. Let’s make sure it disappears quickly. I’ll handle the operation, and you shout ‘666’."
Ao Hanli asks, "Can’t you just stay in the country?"
Bai Wei thinks for a moment and says, "Well, there are also Black Dragons in the Ming Country. But I have some status, you know. I’m registered at the martial arts hall in the Ming Country, and once I get a first-class warrior’s identification, I can get an official position with a monthly allowance… Are you sure the Black Dragon won’t cause any problems for me?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Hanli nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Looks like you’ve already thought it through. You’re not planning to solve the problem with your own strength."
Bai Wei replied, "I’m not stupid. Why should I take on the responsibility for things that can be handled by the authorities? When faced with such troublesome matters, it’s best to let the official handle it."
Xue Hanlei squinted her eyes and said, "Aren’t you afraid that you’re too young and impulsive? Young people are like this, always indulging in personal heroism."
Bai Wei chuckled and said, "If you really feel indebted, you might as well give me an immunity card."
Ao Hanli replied, "I can give you a VIP card instead. From now on, you’ll have priority access to contact the East Sea through the VIP channel."
Bai Wei straightened his posture and asked, "Can I get a discount?"
Xue Hanlei sarcastically commented, "Sure, you can get a bone fracture discount too? Are you planning to take advantage of every opportunity?"
Yun Wuxin interrupted their conversation and said, "Is it about to start?"
Ao Hanli nodded gently and said, "Yes, the second round is about to begin. Everyone, prepare yourselves mentally."
"Can you explain what will happen next?" Bai Wei said.
"Well… let me explain it simply." Ao Hanli began to choose her words carefully. Judging by her expression, it was clear she was thinking of a wonderful analogy. And indeed, her face lit up with a bright idea. "You can think of it as… a friendship game!"
"Where did you come up with this analogy? Is it from some kind of biology book?" Bai Wei wondered. He glanced over and noticed a couple approaching a shining jewel at the center. They both placed their hands on it, and it immediately emitted a radiant light.
"The man: 33; the woman: 56"
The couple’s expressions suddenly changed. The dragon maiden grabbed the man by his collar, furious. "What the *@#%#$! What does 33 mean? 33! Didn’t you say you really liked me?"
The man looked away, nervously chuckling. "Actually, when I said that, I wasn’t referring to liking you, but to liking your sister. You misheard me."
The dragon maiden was shocked. "My sister?" She was even more furious the next moment. "Damn it! That whale guy! My sister is not even forty yet!"
The whale demon stared intensely at the dragon maiden. "I’ve always liked younger girls!"
Bang! A punch landed on the whale demon’s face. The dragon maiden’s anger transformed her into her true form, spewing out blue flames. "I’ll make sure to beat the shit out of you today!"
The scene had gradually turned into a fight between lovers.
Bai Wei was stunned. "You call this a friendly game?"
Ao Hanli explained, "It’s a test of friendship, maybe even love? It’s a magical jade left by the Dragon King that quantifies affection."
Bai Wei understood, "A friendship and love test destroyer."
Once this thing is tested, brothers become friends, wives become exes… Of course, there is also the possibility of brothers becoming wives.
"How many points do we need to pass?"
"You need a total score of over one hundred." Ao Hanli said, "This challenge blocks at least seventy percent of people each year."
"Simply put, does this mean we’ll have to witness this kind of scene at least ten more times?" Bai Wei covered his eyes with his hand, unwilling to watch Whale Ada being beaten up. "I can’t bear to watch anymore. How come you dragon maidens of the Eastern Sea can’t find a genuine love match?"
Xue Hanlei perked up her ears and kicked Bai Wei on the ankle. "Who are you insulting here?"
Ao Hanli casually remarked, "Perhaps our standards are too high, and there are many who are just pretending. It’s normal not to meet our requirements."
Yun Wuxin said, "Maybe it’s the same for people in general, not just dragons. It’s difficult to find someone who genuinely loves us and whom we truly love."
Bai Wei nodded and glanced at the three girls. He felt that, regardless of his level of fondness for any of them, it wouldn’t exceed forty.
"Should we give up then?" Bai Wei said. "This level of fondness is definitely not enough."
Ao Hanli, the confident woman, said, "Don’t worry, there’s a surefire cheat for this level."
With just three sentences, the insightful dragon maiden made both of them fall madly in love with her.
