Chapter 135: Hurry Up and Take a Photo with the Divine Dragon!

Chapter 135: Hurry Up and Take a Photo with the Divine Dragon!

After hearing what the bishops said, Louis looked a bit weird.

The culture of the Cloud Kingdom seemed a little similar to that of Tianchao.

But he was not from the Cloud Kingdom; he was from Tianchao.

“This… What if I can’t trigger the Twelve Auspicious Omens?”

Crowley and Yingling quickly shot Louis a look—why are you so blunt!

The two bishops laughed, clearly meaning ‘it’s okay’—you will definitely trigger the auspicious omens!

The money has already been handed over!

“What happened today stays between us—rest assured, young friend. There are records showing that tens of thousands of people in the Cloud Kingdom have royal bloodline. One more or one less doesn’t matter.”

“Don’t worry, young friend. Later, Mr. Li Ming will summon the divine dragon and, through ‘face-reading art,’ confirm your lineage—any discrepancies, he will help you correct them.”

Right after they finished speaking, the two bishops were proven wrong. They saw Mr. Li Ming, having eaten and drunk his fill, close his eyes and begin to meditate.

A Divine Official hurried over from Li Ming’s side and whispered to the bishops, “Mr. Li Ming says the current hour is not good and asks us to come back this afternoon.”

This made both bishops somewhat embarrassed.

[Clearly, the person deciding the validity of your prince file does not believe you are a Cloud Kingdom foreign student. You decide maybe you should…]

[A. Li Ming is a native of the Cloud Kingdom. Since studying abroad in England, he has been having some difficulties adjusting. If you were his friend ‘Li Hua,’ please make a brief speech to comfort him and help him recapture that feeling of learning a foreign language back in his hometown (within 100 words).]

[Reward upon completion: Cloud Kingdom passport1, Photo with the Divine Dragon1, Random attribute +1, Experience +100]

[B. The money the bishops slipped might not have been enough, leaving Mr. Li Ming somewhat dissatisfied. Take out some more and quietly slip it to him, asking him to give you a good zodiac sign.]

[Reward upon completion: Cloud Kingdom passport1, Empty money pouch1]

Looking at the narration before him, Louis suddenly fell into deep thought.

Zodiac sign… this must be the twelve zodiac animals, right?!

Also, that option A is a reading comprehension question, isn’t it?

It’s a reading comprehension question, right?!

[You seem to have misunderstood something. Please don’t mess around.]

Louis walked forward, stood before Li Ming with a grave expression, and performed a very solemn English noble salute.

Li Ming was taken aback for a moment, then also performed a very solemn English noble salute.

The two stared at each other for a long while.

Suddenly, Louis spoke a sentence in the Solerndor common tongue with an ancient Nanjing accent.

Louis waved with a fake smile: “Do you still ‘hail and greet,’ huh?”

Li Ming waved with a fake smile: “Huh, I am huh, thanks a bunch. And you?”

Louis waved with a fake smile: “Huh, thanks.”

After saying this, the two stared blankly at each other for another long while.

Li Ming waved with a fake smile: “Pleased to meet you.”

Louis waved with a fake smile: “Pleased to meet you too.”

[Agility +1]

[Experience +100]

Clearly, the Cloud Kingdom people in this world also learn foreign languages.

After Louis finished speaking, Pandaren Monk Li Ming sat up with a very serious look. He picked up a small bamboo stick, walked over to the little blackboard, and, while looking at Louis, began writing mysteriously on it.

The two bishops couldn’t help but open their mouths slightly and looked at Louis—was he really a Cloud Kingdom foreign student?

Louis also opened his mouth slightly, because he saw the Pandaren Monk, while looking at him, write a line of crooked seal script characters on the blackboard used for the passport photo:

You, are, royal, family, dragon’s, descendant…

Louis was utterly confused.

Isn’t this a bit too casual?

This is way too casual, isn’t it?!

Did you guys drag me here today on purpose to prank me together?!

Will this passport even work?!

“Oh~ This is Mr. Li Ming’s unique face-reading art—he can see what kind of auspicious sign you are,” the Red-robed Bishop explained with a smile. “He’s writing in the Cloud Kingdom’s ancient secret script—this script changes based on a person’s facial features and bloodline. It’s very mysterious.”

Trying to fool an idiot?

Trying to deceive foreigners, huh?!

Hey, check it out! He even wrote a miswritten character!

This must be something Li Ming made up on the spot to scam money, right?!

Halfway through writing, Mr. Li Ming seemed to have forgotten a character. He scratched his bottom, glanced back at the illiterates here, and casually scribbled a few strokes to replace those characters.

He couldn’t even be bothered to write the miswritten character properly now!

Before Louis could say anything, he saw Li Ming suddenly throw the chalk into the air and then start to perform a grand, exaggerated ritual dance on the ground.

Suddenly, Louis felt powerful waves of Mana erupt from Li Ming’s body, and Li Ming’s entire body began to glow.

Louis’s pupils sharply contracted: “Wh-what… what is he doing?”

“Summoning the divine dragon!” many bishops and Divine Officials said mysteriously.

“???”

“Rest assured, young friend,” Bishop John said with a beaming smile, as if meaning—this is a proper passport issued by the Lunar Court, how could it be a joke? Just stay put and watch!

Bishop Alwyn also began to smile broadly: “Young friend, Mr. Li Ming is very ‘Ling’—look, the divine dragon is emerging. It will come to take a photo with you soon.”

Louis, filled with doubt and suspicion, looked over and saw the Pandaren Monk sneakily turning his back to everyone, pulling out a talisman paper from his robe, and throwing it into the air. The talisman paper turned into a small paper dragon and began flying around.

Many Divine Officials, bishops, Yingling, Crowley, and others all looked on in amazement.

[Clearly, this is the divine dragon. Hurry up and get ready to take the photo.]

‘Take a photo with your sister!’

‘I don’t want this! I don’t want this lame thing appearing on my passport photo!’

The Divine Officials quickly picked up the camera, ready to take Louis’s ID photo, and gestured for Louis to quickly stand in position for the picture.

“I haven’t even offered my blood drop yet!”

Louis shouted in his heart: ‘I’m not doing this! If I show this passport photo saying I’m from the royal family, who would believe it! This is ridiculous! Once I offer my blood and no auspicious omen appears, I’ll find an excuse to leave!’

This remark reminded the many Divine Officials. They all looked at the Pandaren Monk in surprise. The monk was slightly stunned, realizing he seemed to have missed a step.

“Ahem.” The monk clasped his hands together and said with a solemn expression: “Benefactor, where the heart is sincere, the spiritual connection exists, burp, no need to be too rigid—pick up a handful of yellow soil, throw it to the lakeside, then give a slight bow. The divine dragon will sense your aura, and then He will possess me to verify your identity.”

The bishops stroked their beards and glanced at each other, finding this reasonable.

The Pandaren made faces: [Fellow countryman, don’t expose me! Hurry up!]

‘It’s definitely fake!’

The corner of Louis’s mouth twitched. He looked at the lotus flowers in the lake and sighed inwardly.

He did not intend to get any damned passport. But seeing these lotus flowers and bamboo, he couldn’t help feeling a sense of nostalgia and was touched by the scene, giving rise to a feeling of homesickness. He decided to pay his respects and then leave.

Even if just to honor his distant homeland.

After a sigh, Louis touched the yellow earth on the ground and sprinkled it into the lake filled with the water of the Divine Dragon River. Then he straightened his clothes and bowed solemnly.

Seeing Louis’s solemn gesture, the Bishop, the Divine Officials, Yingling, and Crowley couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional—this was like something from far, far away.

The Panda Monk also placed his palms together, feeling somewhat melancholy.

Then, everyone saw a five-clawed golden dragon fly out from the lake.

With a sudden clap of thunder from the clear sky, to everyone’s astonishment, the huge golden dragon circled in the sky, then transformed into a human form and landed on the ground.

It was actually a little dragon girl with dragon horns (like deer antlers) wearing ancient silk robes!

Louis, Yingling, and Crowley all gaped, looking at Li Ming and the Bishop and others—is this real?

Li Ming and the Bishops—we’re seeing this for the first time too, okay!

Louis’s expression—then why did I summon the divine dragon? I’m a fake!

Li Ming and the Bishops—you ask us, who do we ask?!

The Little Dragon Girl floated down gracefully, then clasped her hands behind her back and scanned the crowd.

[A strange little dragon girl (human form) traveling abroad who came by to take a look]

[Height: 165cm]

[Weight: 45.5kg]

[Strength: 94]

[Agility: 45]

[Mana: 104]

[Clearly, in human form, her three stats differ greatly from when she’s in her true form—but they’re still quite good.]

Louis was speechless: ‘These proportions… seem pretty good indeed.’

After looking around, the Little Dragon Girl’s gaze first fell on Yingling. She stretched and asked in a dialect that sounded a bit like Jianghuai Mandarin and Nanjing dialect: “Fox Jing?”

Yingling shook her head blankly.

“Foreigner.” The Little Dragon Girl shook her head, then looked at Louis: “From the Kingdom of Yun? Recognizing relatives?”

Louis: “Uh…”

“Got it.” The Little Dragon Girl nodded, picked up a small bamboo stick from the ground, and while looking at Louis’s face, wrote a line of shining golden ancient seal script characters on the little board specifically used for taking photos.

Louis was dumbfounded; he looked at Panda-Man Li Ming—this face-reading technique is actually real?!

Panda-Man Li Ming rolled his eyes—how could it be fake?!

This is a passport!

You think I’m doing some shaman dance just to mess with you?

But these Dragon Gods usually don’t come abroad; could this guy really be from the royal family?

Before everyone could react, the characters were already finished—You, Are, Royal, Family, Dragon’s, Descendant: Lu Yi, Born of Heaven and Earth’s Primordial Energy, Nephew of the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King, studied abroad since youth, already (a few typos) many years… (She seemed to have forgotten many characters after that, just scribbling a few strokes.)

‘Just like Li Ming! You guys are so casual!’

After writing, the Little Dragon Girl clapped her hands, pulled the stunned Louis to the passport background board, stuffed the small plaque into his arms, and took a photo together.

The Priests quickly grabbed their cameras and snapped away wildly. The Little Dragon Girl stood next to the dazed Louis, making a V sign with her fingers, then holding her chin with both hands, then pouting, striking several poses in a row.

[Photos with the Divine Dragon 12]

After finishing, the Little Dragon Girl went to the photographer, looked at the photos for a while, and picked a few good ones for them to use for the passport.

After looking for a moment, the Divine Officials calmly took the documents and left to handle the procedures, leaving only Louis, still in disarray, holding the small plaque.

The Little Dragon Girl walked over to Louis with her hands clasped behind her back, looked at him curiously, then patted his shoulder and said with a laugh: “Relative, huh?”

Louis pointed at his own nose, bewildered: “Me, I am… what does ‘Born of Heaven and Earth’s Primordial Energy’ mean??”

He nearly blurted out, ‘In this world, do I have some cheap Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King as an uncle?’

“You ask me, I ask who.” After saying this, the Little Dragon Girl thought to herself: ‘Could he have popped out of a stone? Did the old uncle who covets merits and guards the Heavenly Stele all day long pull some strings to claim a relative?’

‘But this kid seems to have the bloodline, he’s a Sea King type—so long, so thick, so big!’

After pondering for a moment, the Little Dragon Girl suddenly asked: “How’s the old Dragon King been lately?”

Louis looked at the Little Dragon Girl blankly, nodded, then shook his head.

The Little Dragon Girl frowned: “He’s gone loony.”

With that, she transformed into a golden dragon and soared into the sky, disappearing.

Suddenly, rain began to patter down from the sky.

Louis looked at the sky blankly, then at the wooden plaque, sinking into deep thought, not saying a word for a long time.

The wooden plaque had several large characters on it; Louis read them aloud.

“Nine Dragons Sea Quelling King? I am ‘Nine Dragons’, ‘Sea Quelling King’?”

“Ah, no no, seems there’s another character…???”

Sea King of Nine Dragons Town.

Sea King of Nine Dragons Town?

Sea King? That sounds terrible! Who’s a Sea King?!

“Can we retake this passport photo? She wrote it wrong; I’m the Nine Dragons Sea Quelling King, not the Sea King of Nine Dragons Town. This… the difference is quite big…”

…
