Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Chapter 263: Future Eunuchs Compete in Strength

After Luo Ying exchanged a few brief and polite greetings with the Dragon King, she asked the North Sea Dragon King directly: "We are going to find Xuanwu to get the ancient artifact this time. I would like to ask the Dragon King about the origin of Xuanwu."

The Dragon King stroked his beard gently, with a warm smile on his face, and then said: "This Xuanwu has a great background! Speaking of the most mysterious beast of creation, it must be Xuanwu. First of all, Xuanwu's appearance is full of mystery. Among the four beasts of creation, it is the only one that is a combination of two animals. Xuanwu is half turtle and half snake, with the snake wrapped around the turtle body, and its whole body is black. At first glance, it looks solemn.

Xuanwu's origin is also quite bizarre. Some say that he was once the prince of Jingle Kingdom, whose mission was to eliminate all demons in the world. Later, he devoted himself to practice and ascended to become an immortal, becoming the current Xuanwu Emperor, also known as Zhenwu Emperor, and also honored as the Demon-Dangling Heavenly Lord. Others say that Xuanwu was incarnated from the seven stars in the north of the sky.

Because it was born in the north, Xuanwu became the patron saint of the north. At the same time, it is black, and black belongs to the water element, so it naturally became the water god of the North Sea. "

A trace of surprise flashed across Luo Ying's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Another god?"

Seeing Luo Ying so surprised, the Dragon King immediately understood her confusion and quickly explained, "Then this Zhenwu Great Emperor is not on the same level as Kunpeng Divine Lord. After all, Kunpeng Divine Lord is a wisp of the original spirit of Master Hunkun. He is a true god. Although this Zhenwu Great Emperor is also very powerful, he can only be regarded as an immortal monarch."

After hearing this, Luo Ying frowned slightly, still a little puzzled. She hurriedly asked, "So is he a beast or a human?"

The Dragon King stroked his beard and laughed heartily, saying, "The Great Emperor Zhenwu is in human form, wearing a black robe, with his hair loose and bare feet, and he is stepping on a tortoise and a snake - a sign of a great man who has attained the Way. The snake and the tortoise are his disciples who have always been by his side, and they have also been able to transform into human forms. Among the Five Great Emperors, his presence is the most impressive."

Luo Ying showed a puzzled look in his eyes and asked curiously: "Why?"

The Dragon King of the North Sea smiled even more and explained slowly, "There are three reasons. First, the turtle is a symbol of longevity. It is one of the seven new constellations, Dou, which is composed of 6 stars. There are too many people who pursue health and longevity, so there are many believers who worship Xuanwu. Second, it is related to Confucius. It is said that Confucius is a saint who was reincarnated from the Great Emperor Zhenwu, so many Confucianists worship Xuanwu. Third, it is said that Xuanwu is in charge of the emperor's life span and the position of prime minister. So people who pursue power also like to worship Xuanwu."

Luo Ying suddenly realized, and his admiration was beyond words. He exclaimed: "Wow! Our father in the mortal world is his reincarnation! He is so powerful!"

Hua Yuchen interrupted casually, revealing a bit of disdain in her tone, and said disapprovingly: "He is just one of the five guardians of father. His duty is to protect father, subdue all the demons in the three realms, and command all the underworld kings! Look how envious you are."

Luo Ying was not happy to hear his words and felt dissatisfied. She stubbornly refuted and said to him unconvincedly: "I am envious, but that's not right! I am just a small mortal who has never seen the world. In our world, I am a saint who has been worshipped for thousands of years."

Seeing that she was unhappy, Hua Yuchen quickly hugged her in his arms and coaxed her in a low voice, "Okay! Okay! What's most important is that you like it. Father even gave you his favorite unicorn. You, a little mortal, have become our heavenly treasure! A lot of people love you and pamper you. I dare not offend you. Okay!"

The Dragon King of the North Sea was speechless for a moment after hearing Hua Yuchen's words, and his face showed a little surprise.

Luo Ying nudged him with his elbow and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say! You'll be laughed at by the Dragon King of the North Sea!"

Hua Yuchen was very excited and retorted, "I am not exaggerating. This time, my father went to Wangyou Palace personally as an undercover agent to gather intelligence for you. He also specifically told me to tie up your wife no matter what method I use. Do you think he loves you? He treats you better than his own son!"

Seeing that Hua Yuchen was getting more and more outrageous, Luo Ying was afraid that he would continue to speak without restraint, so he quickly reached out his hand to cover his mouth and warned him in a low voice: "Are you going to tell everyone about our family affairs? You don't give your father any face at all!"

Hua Yuchen didn't care. She broke free from Luo Ying's hand and deliberately raised her voice so that the Dragon King of the North Sea could hear clearly: "I just want to remind you that your father-in-law has been so good to you, so don't think about finding another father-in-law somewhere else!"

The Dragon King of the North Sea naturally heard the hidden meaning in Hua Yuchen's words. He lowered his head in embarrassment, but his heart was surging.

Luo Ying lowered his voice, with a hint of unquestionable majesty, and threatened Hua Yuchen, "Shut up, or I won't let you follow me."

Seeing that she was really angry, Hua Yuchen quickly stopped smiling and said to her, "Okay! Okay! I'll shut up!"

Luo Ying turned around and said to the Dragon King of the North Sea with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

The North Sea Dragon King was flattered. He waved his hands repeatedly and humbly responded, "I dare not. I dare not. I am indeed not so lucky to have such an excellent daughter-in-law as the prince's wife."

Luo Ying smiled slightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, and then said, "Then we'll take our leave first. Sorry for disturbing you!"

After saying that, he bowed to the Dragon King of the North Sea and dragged Hua Yuchen out of the Dragon Palace.

After the Dragon King of the North Sea saw them off, he turned around and returned to the Dragon Palace.

He caught a glimpse of Ao Linghao looking at their receding figures with a sad look on his face, so he walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Hao'er, you have a really good eye this time! The girl you've chosen is not only the Third Prince's princess consort, but also the famous Marshal Luo in the Heaven Realm, and the favorite daughter-in-law of the Emperor of Heaven! Don't think about her anymore. Even the Emperor of Heaven wants to keep such an outstanding woman so hard, let alone us?"

Ao Linghao came back to his senses, his expression was dazed, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he said foolishly: "Yes! Lord Cangmo and Lord Kunpeng are better than the Third Prince in every aspect, but they still can't get her love, let alone me? I really envy the Third Prince for being able to get her love alone. No wonder he dotes on her so much."

After hearing this, the Dragon King of the North Sea could not help but sigh with emotion, "Yes! No wonder the Third Prince came to our North Sea to look for seafood before dawn and personally cooked a seafood feast for her. At that time, I was wondering what kind of woman was so outstanding that the Third Prince cared so much about her! Until this time, you five men almost turned our North Sea upside down for her.

Only then did I realize that she was indeed not an ordinary woman. No matter how you fought with the Mermaid Prince, or how Lord Cangmo and Lord Kunpeng fought for her, one broke the rules of heaven and froze the North Sea for her, while the other was willing to become a small fish in her fish tank to accompany her. No matter how hard you tried, you still couldn't snatch her away from the Third Prince in the end. Their emotional foundation was indeed too deep, and you couldn't snatch her away at all."

Hua Yuchen and Luo Ying walked hand in hand, talking and laughing as they headed towards the palace of the Great Emperor Zhenwu. Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view. The mermaid prince Jiao Chengxuan was talking in a low voice with the mermaid elders. They walked leisurely and met Luo Ying and Hua Yuchen unexpectedly.

Jiao Chengxuan and Luo Ying walked towards each other, their eyes met, and there seemed to be an invisible ripple in the air. Luo Ying's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and she couldn't help but look at Jiao Chengxuan's swaying fishtail, only to see that it had recovered to be as perfect as when she first saw it. The joy surged into her heart like a tide, and she couldn't help but reveal a brilliant smile.

Seeing Jiao Chengxuan staring at her intently, Luo Ying's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. Jiao Chengxuan's voice was trembling: "You...you...why do you feel so familiar?"

Luo Ying was panicked, afraid that Jiao Chengxuan would recognize her, and hurriedly explained: "You've got the wrong person, we have never met before." After that, she quickly pulled Hua Yuchen away.

Jiao Chengxuan looked at Luo Ying's receding back, feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart. He murmured to himself, "Why do I feel so heartbroken when I see you, but I can't remember who you are?"

The elder of the mermaid sighed softly and said, "Your Highness, you have recognized the wrong person. Let's go back!"

Jiao Chengxuan nodded and left with the mermaid elder.

Hua Yuchen turned to Luo Ying with a hint of joking and said, "Is this the merman prince who cut off his tail for you and would marry you in this life? He looks very stylish and handsome!"

Luo Ying lowered his eyelids slightly and responded softly: "Yeah!" There was a hint of subtle complex emotions in his voice.

Hua Yuchen's curiosity was aroused, and she couldn't help but ask, "How come he doesn't remember you when he loves you so much?"

An indescribable emotion flashed across Luo Ying's eyes. She spoke in a melancholy voice with a bit of repression: "I asked Kunpeng Divine Lord to help erase all images of me in his memory."

Hua Yuchen's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked in confusion, "Are you really that cruel? You won't let him retain any memory at all?"
