The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Not long after, Ancestor Xia left the city personally to visit Long Qingtian in the Southern Heavenly Domain.

The matter was highly confidential, except for a few top-tier individuals in Great Xia, no outsiders knew.

Upon arriving in the Southern Heavenly Domain, Ancestor Xia met Long Qingtian in the Dragon King Hall.

Long Qingtian was quite astonished; he had not expected Ancestor Xia to come in person.

The two sat together and shared a smile. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Brother Long, as I traveled here, I saw peace and stability across the Southern Heavenly Domain. It seems that entrusting it to you was indeed the right decision,"

Ancestor Xia said with a smile.

"It’s because of your discerning eye and strong leadership, otherwise, how could we have today’s prosperity?" Long Qingtian replied humbly.

Ancestor Xia laughed heartily, stood up, and patted Long Qingtian on the shoulder, "Brother Long, without you, I fear the Southern Heavenly Domain truly might not manage. Only you can maintain this place, and protect its millions of people."

"As a part of Great Xia, it is my unshirkable duty,"

Long Qingtian said seriously.

"Brother Long, you’ve spent half your life guarding the Southern Heavenly Domain; you have worked hard." Ancestor Xia’s expression became increasingly grave, "But now, a new problem has arisen. With the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, demons are rampant, and many ancient Dao Tongs have emerged with malicious intent, causing enormous casualties—and the number grows every day.

I have come to discuss with you how this issue can be properly resolved."

"Ancestor Xia, you’re not thinking of having me leave the Southern Heavenly Domain, are you?" Long Qingtian asked seriously, "If we let our guard down in the Southern Heavenly Domain and any issues arise, the consequences could well be ten times worse than the current situation, and irreversible.

You should know that the terrifying beings that come from the ancient pathways of the Southern Heavenly Domain are from the depths of the starry sky."

"I know," Ancestor Xia replied solemnly, "That’s why I have come to discuss countermeasures with you. Let’s think about how to handle this."

"Ancestor Xia, the current situation is one of great changes between heaven and earth, with demons resurfacing. The laws of the human world will evolve towards survival of the fittest. Until Great Xia’s cultivational forces have reached a point where they can overwhelmingly crush those of various Dao Tongs, this cannot be reversed, though it can be suppressed.

My son’s cultivation is strong, and his Great Xia Mansion can take on this responsibility.

Give him some time, and I think he should be able to help you re-establish order and return peace to the world.

As for me, I truly cannot leave the Southern Heavenly Domain. We cannot afford any mistakes here; otherwise, the consequences would be dire, and the entire world might fall,"

Long Qingtian said earnestly.

"Sigh, but now, that youngster Long Chen has gone to Kunlun and vanished."

Ancestor Xia said with a wry smile.

"He went to find his mother; she is the Holy Daughter of the Kunlun Holy Palace. She should be out soon; rest assured, Ancestor Xia,"

Long Qingtian said with a smile.

Ancestor Xia was surprised, "The ancient Dao Tong of Kunlun Holy Palace has such a connection with you and your son?"

"It’s an affair from long ago."

"If the Kunlun Holy Palace helps oversee the situation, things should look much brighter," Ancestor Xia said with a smile.

"They should," Long Qingtian agreed.

Those words served as a strong boost to Ancestor Xia’s confidence.

...

In the Kunlun Holy Palace, Long Chen was currently being led into the Kunlun Secret Realm by the Palace Master, and no one could see him.

Yun Qing would look towards the direction of the Secret Realm every so often, worrying.

"Holy Daughter, don’t worry, the young master will be fine,"

a delicate-looking girl said softly beside her.

"Sigh, there’s a Dragon Transformation Pool inside the Secret Realm, the old Palace Master probably wants Chen’er to undergo Nirvana in the pool to be reborn. I am a little worried,"

Yun Qing said with a wry smile.

"Holy Daughter, there’s no need to worry. The Dragon Transformation Pool is indeed fierce, but with the Palace Master there, he wouldn’t let anything happen to the young master; the young master will get through it," the girl said.

"I just worry that it will hurt him,"

Yun Qing said.

The delicate girl was taken aback and found herself at a loss for words.

Yun Qing turned to look at the girl and asked with a smile, "Zi Jin, you’ve met Long Chen as well. Shouldn’t we carry out our agreement now?"

"Ah? Holy Daughter, what agreement?"

"We agreed that you would marry my son. Does it not count anymore?"

Yun Qing stared at Zi Jin.

Zi Jin’s face turned red, "Holy Daughter, I thought you were joking."

"Who’s joking? Zi Jin, out of all the female disciples in the Holy Palace, I’ve set my eyes on you. You’re not fooling me, are you?"

Yun Qing questioned.

Zi Jin shook her head and said softly, "Holy Daughter, seeing how extraordinary and elegant the young master is, I’m sure many women like him on the outside. Maybe he won’t take a fancy to me."

"Oh, I see, so it’s not that you’re unwilling, you’re just afraid he won’t like you, eh?"

"Um..."

Zi Jin nodded shyly with a blushing face.

"Rest assured, it’s not a big problem. With your looks—beauty that could cause chaos in ancient times, stunning enough to topple empires, you have the figure, the face, and the strength. If that boy doesn’t fancy you, I’ll break his legs,"

Yun Qing said with a laugh.

"I don’t believe that," Zi Jin muttered, "You’re only worried about him being in pain from the Dragon Transformation Pool, yet you’ll break his legs, hmm."

"Cough, look at what you’re saying,"

Yun Qing chuckled dryly, "Hurry and take care to strengthen yourself; when he comes out, I want you to give me a grandson soon."

"Ah?" Zi Jin was stunned, "Isn’t that a bit too fast?"
