Chapter 388 - 388 Eight Dragons Carrying a Palaquin
388 Eight Dragons Carrying a Palaquin
Song Shi was still thinking about the gift money.
This was the fruit of his labor. He had painstakingly circled the border to send the invitation. He couldn’t miss it, right?
“Husband, you didn’t look like a greedy person.” Wu Xi was a little surprised.
“I’ve already started a family. I have to have some form income. Don’t tell me you want to starve?”
Song Shi took the opportunity to hug Wu Xi’s waist.
He was not interested in establishing a sect, so he could only use this method to earn some resources for his family for the time being.
“I have a dowry.”
Wu Xi raised her head proudly and handed Song Shi an exquisite female storage ring. “This is for you, husband.”
“Ahem.”
At the side, Emperor Qian coughed and was a little speechless. She had yet to marry over and was already in a hurry to give her dowry?
“This is your private money stash. It’s not a dowry.”
Song Shi shook his head and looked at Emperor Qian. “Father-in-law, it’s your turn to pay the dowry.”
“…”
Emperor Qian didn’t expect that he would be dragged into this. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Our country has a lot of things to do and our national treasury is depleted. This dowry might be a little shabby.”
“At least it’s a token of appreciation.” Song Shi pursed his lips. “Besides, I’ll give you a betrothal gift too. I won’t let you guys suffer a loss.”
Emperor Qian’s eyes lit up. “I’ve already asked Wuji to prepare the dowry. On the other hand, the son-in-law’s betrothal gifts should be sent over in advance, right? The wedding is about to be held.”
“Of course.”
Song Shi had just ransacked a circle of factions from various countries that had infiltrated China. He had quite a lot of treasures on him.
He had already tidied them up and took out storage rings one by one. He smiled and said, “Father-in-law, keep them well.”
Emperor Qian did not expect Song Shi to give it to him just like that. He was rather surprised.
Actually, they had asked Song Shi for favours already, so it was completely normal if there Song Shi did not provide any betrothal gifts. However Song Shi’s willingness to give them was an additional surprise.
After a brief inspection, the rich resources made him smile. “My son-in-law is really rich. I think Wu Xi married well and won’t suffer.”
“Of course.”
Song Shi held Wu Xi’s slender hand and said with a smile, “Since you’re in the Imperial City, I’ll marry you tomorrow.”
Wu Xi blushed and said shyly, “Actually, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’m not particular about these things.”
“Since we’re free now, of course there has to be a proper ceremony. I don’t want you to have any regrets.”
Song Shi patted Wu Xi’s hand. “Go back and dress up. Put on the phoenix crown and robe and wait for me.”
With that, he let go of Wu Xi and left in a hurry.
Wu Xi’s face was flushed as she watched Song Shi leave happily.
Which woman didn’t want to wear a phoenix crown and a robe and get married in style?
“My son-in-law is quite particular about these things and considerate.”
Emperor Qian felt that he had a lot of face and smiled like a flower.
He brought Wu Xi back to the palace. On the way, he whispered, “My son-in-law is not an ordinary person. It’s not a problem for him to become an immortal in the future. You have to seize the opportunity. If you can become an immortal, it can be considered as bringing glory to our Qian family.”
“I’ll do my best.”
Wu Xi nodded.
“You have to work hard and get pregnant first. Only then can you have a higher status in the family.”
Emperor Qian’s reminder made Wu Xi’s face turn red. She looked extremely beautiful.
After Song Shi left, he immediately informed Black Snake and Bai Yu’er of his plans before heading to the sea.
He had to find a few people to carry his wedding palanquin.
In less than a day, Song Shi traveled with all his might, crossing the Medicine Kingdom and the Water Kingdom and arriving at the sea in the east of the continent.
This place was called the East Sea. It was considered vast, but it could not compare to the land area.
In fact, the seawater in this world did not occupy a large area. It was only about 30% of the land. Other than the human activity near the sea, most of the area was the territory of the sea beasts.
Song Shi floated on the surface of the sea and quietly looked at the ship in the distance, deep in thought.
The ship was swimming away, but it did not disappear first. Instead, it remained horizontal and kept shrinking as it distanced itself.
Such a phenomenon was very normal to the people of the Boundless Continent, but to him, who had once lived on a planet, it was rather strange.
It wasn’t just the sea in front of him. He had gone to many places during this period of time and confirmed one thing.
That was, the layout of this world was really similar to a round sky and a place, but it was not a planet.
“Perhaps, I’m no longer in my original universe…”
Song Shi could not help but feel melancholic. One of his long-term goals was to return to where he came from. Now, it seemed that this was seemingly impossible.
“If I have the time, I want to see what’s at the edge of this world. Is it just an endless void?”
Song Shi restrained his emotions and curiosity and crossed a hundred miles in one step arriving at the sea.
The aqua blue ocean was boundless, and the water quality was exceptionally clear. Song Shi flew for a while before lowering his head and muttering, “It should be nearby. It’s the eastern sea dragon race.”
There were snakes in this world that had transformed into dragons on land, so there were naturally sea snakes that transformed into flood dragons in the water. Moreover, because there were not many human interferences in the deep sea, so these flood dragons had formed their own race. They were very powerful. If not for the fact that they were not suitable to go ashore, the human race would have another powerful enemy.
Song Shi injected his divine thoughts into the seawater and began his exploration. At the same time, he said, “Eastern Sea Flood Dragons, come out!”
His voice turned into a special wave that traveled along the seawater and entered the water.
In the depths of the ocean, crystal palaces were emitting brilliant light. All kinds of treasures were placed inside, but most of them had become decorations.
Suddenly, the seawater shook. Song Shi’s voice spread, and all the crystal palaces shook violently.
“Who dares to roar above my Dragon Clan’s head!”
With a furious roar, a blue dragon sat cross-legged on a pillar and stuck its head out.
“Dragon Emperor Bi Long, the person who came is a human with a very powerful aura.”
A big crab quickly crawled over to report.
“It’s been a long time since a human dared to provoke our Flood Dragon Race. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll go out and eat something.”
With a cruel smile, he swam out from the pillar and transformed into a blue light that rushed out, wanting to eat Song Shi.
BANG!
The surface of the water exploded. A flood dragon covered in blue scales broke out of the water and roared at Song Shi, “Human…”
Before he could finish speaking, a huge fire palm print smashed down.
Suddenly there was a rumble.
The flood dragon was slapped back.
Song Shi waved his hand to block the splashing water and frowned. “You spat at me the moment you came out. Don’t you have any manners?”
At this moment, new dragon roars erupted, and the water surface churned violently. Flood dragon heads raised their heads from within and stared coldly at Song Shi.
Song Shi was instantly delighted. “Not bad. With so many flood dragons, it’s enough to help me lift the bridal palanquin.”
He was prepared to find eight flood dragons to carry the palanquin. Only then would he be worthy of Wu Xi’s identity. There were too few flood dragons on land, so he could only come here to take a look.
“Human, what do you mean?”
Some flood dragons didn’t understand Song Shi’s intentions.
“It means that you will listen to me in the future,” Song Shi replied calmly and confidently.
“You have a death wish!”
“Where did this hothead come from? How dare he behave atrociously in my clan’s territory?”
“Kill him!”
The flood dragons opened their mouths and water pillars containing terrifying impact rushed towards Song Shi. Even ordinary Soul Transformation cultivators would not dare to receive their impact head on.
