Chapter 97 The Unlucky Dragon Clan's Scheme

  In an instant, Long Hao's dragon scales fell from the sky like snowflakes...

  "Ah! You damned bird, I'm going to kill you!" Long Hao shouted furiously, completely enraged by Feng Zhan, and directly used his claws to grab Feng Zhan's body...

  Only dragon scales bigger than a washbasin and fiery red, dazzling seven-colored feathers fell from the sky...

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at the two beasts that had completely abandoned all their skills and were using primitive attacks instead, with black lines hanging from their foreheads...

  "If it were Snow sister, they..." Feng Ling'er seemed to want to say something, but after opening her mouth, she closed it again, leaving only a face full of helplessness.

  "Stop it right now!" Leng Ruo Xue shouted at the dragon and phoenix in the sky.

  Two beasts that were fiercely scratching and biting each other suddenly heard a loud roar and were startled, instinctively stopping what they were doing.

  "You dare to command me, a human?" The dragon, Huo, roared back, his face filled with discontent. He was already annoyed enough, and this woman actually dared to yell at him!

  "How dare you be so rude to my master!" Feng Zhan's dark red phoenix eyes glared, his voice loud and full of thick warnings.

  "She's your master, not mine." Long Hao said disdainfully, his face full of contempt. In this world, there hasn't been anyone born yet who dares to order him around!

  "Really?" Feng Zhan smiled mysteriously, but accidentally pulled on the wound on his body, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. It really hurt! Damn it, this stinky dragon is ruthless!

  "Of course." Long Hao was pleased with himself and glanced at Leng Ruoxue with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

  "Don't think you're a dragon just because I don't dare to hit you." Leng Ruoxue said coldly, half-closing her beautiful eyes. This old dragon really is asking for a beating!

  "Haha! Haha!" Long Hao laughed wildly, as if he had heard a great joke. Had he misheard? This woman actually said she wanted to beat him up.

  "Is that all you've got, a small Lingzun?" Long Hao's massive dragon eyes scanned Cold Snow from head to toe, his tone slightly mocking.

  "You can try." said coldly with a calm and expressionless face.

  "What a big tone, today the emperor must teach you a lesson." Long Hao said viciously, hum! No human has ever dared to speak to him like that, and no one has ever dared to hit him. This woman is really asking for death.

  "Snow sister, sister is here to help you." Feng Ling'er said hastily.

  "No need, just watch from the sidelines, sister." Cold Snow said confidently. Since she advanced to Spirit Venerable, she hadn't fought anyone yet! Today was a good opportunity to practice her skills with this dragon.

  "Well, then be careful, Xue sister, the dragon's breath is very fierce." Feng Ling'er reminded.

  "Hmm, I know." Cold-as-snow nodded and released the Wind-type Heavenly Spirit Technique "Wings of the Wind", instantly, a pair of huge cyan energy wings appeared behind her back, supporting her as she flew into the air, maintaining the same altitude as Long Hao.

  "Even if you can fly, you're still no match for me." Long Hao's words were incredibly arrogant, and he didn't take Cold Snow into consideration at all.

  "Hasn't anyone ever told you not to underestimate people?" Leng Ruoxue said calmly, and at the same time slightly turned her head to glance at the wings behind her. The skill "Wings of Wind", she was using it for the first time, and it seemed to be quite effective.

  "No." Long Hao said straightforwardly, that even before he was born, he knew his own race was extremely powerful. So, he never knew what it meant to be complacent, and it could also be said that in his heart, the concept of being complacent simply did not exist. Except for beast tribes whose strength was on par with his, humans had always been beneath him.

  "You'll find out today." Cold Snow reminded him very kindly and immediately launched her first round of attack.

  "A Phoenix's Feather" A clear and crisp voice sounded in everyone's ears, followed by a small fiery red feather flying towards Long Hao.

  "What is this? Won't be the feather on that bird's body, haha!" Long Hao looked at the feather floating towards him, which was not even as big as one of his claws, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Laugh, laugh, soon you won't be able to laugh." Feng Zhan stood at the edge, watching with a face full of schadenfreude. The destructive power of this feather, he had seen it with his own eyes.

  "Fiery Tree and Silver Flowers"

  "Shooting Star Cuts the Moon"

  Cold as snow, taking advantage of Long Hao's triumphant and reckless moment, he consecutively released two skills. Only to see the fireworks dancing in the sky, transforming into shooting stars that directly pounced on Long Hao. The small feather also began its division... slowly wrapping itself around Long Hao's body.

  "This...this is impossible." Long Hao was stunned, apart from that stinky bird's Nan Ling Li Huo, there wasn't any flame that could hurt him, but this human woman's flame made him feel a piercing pain, who could tell him what was going on?

  "Master, this smelly dragon may have thick skin, but it can't withstand being burned." Feng Zhan said sympathetically, glancing at the foolish Long Hua, to Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Don't worry, just teaching him a lesson, won't take his life." Lan Yue said calmly. Hmm, that old dragon really was foolish, underestimating her at first and then getting scared off by her flames, even forgetting to attack. Heh heh, she liked opponents like this who didn't fight back.

  "Who cares about him!" Feng Zhan roared in extreme reaction. He and that stinky dragon were arch-enemies, so he wouldn't care about him!

  "I understand, I understand." Leng Ruoxue said with great understanding, while also withdrawing her own fire attribute spiritual power, so as not to roast the old dragon.

  "Haha! Now you're a roasted dragon!" Feng Zhan couldn't help but burst out laughing at the sight of Long Hao's charred body, almost rolling on the ground.

  Long Hao was on the verge of tears, gazing at his originally beautiful and dazzling scales that had been burned black. His heart was filled with regret! He couldn't help but sneak a glance at Leng Yue with his large, tear-filled dragon eyes... This woman was really too terrifying, looking so delicate and lovely, yet her actions were so ruthless!

  "Do you want to continue fighting? Oh, right, you didn't even have a chance to make a move earlier. In that case, let's let you go first this time." Cold Snow said with an absolutely fair tone.

  "Never... never again." Long Hao said with some fear, this woman was a devil, he couldn't mess with her! Moreover, he believed that even if he struck first, he would absolutely not gain the upper hand over this woman. Ugh... his body still hurt now, he didn't want to suffer physical pain again.

  "Here, eat it and you won't be in pain." Leng Ruoxue was very kind, tossing a pill to Long Hao, but in her heart she was praising him, this old dragon was quite perceptive, having received a lesson, soon he should be able to hand over Feng Da to her with pleasure. Hopefully her warning shot hadn't been wasted!

  Long Hao took the medicine and directly threw it into his big mouth. However, the medicine was too small and melted as soon as it entered his mouth, so he didn't taste anything at all. He only felt a faint fragrance lingering in his mouth, making him savor it endlessly. More incredibly, all the wounds on his body were healed, and his beautiful scales grew back again.

  "Is that all? Give me another one." Long Hao said with a thick face, as if he had forgotten that the other party was the human being he looked down on the most.

  "Get out!" Feng glared at Long Hao and bellowed.

  "Master, me too!" After roaring at Long Hao, Feng Zhan looked pitifully at Leng Ruo Xue with a small dog-like expression... his feathers had also been plucked out by that stinky dragon!

  "Take it!" Cold-as-Snow suppressed her smile and tossed a similar pill to Feng Zhan.

  "Thank you, Master." Feng Zhan took the medicine and hastily swallowed it. In an instant, his injuries were healed, and the fallen feathers grew back again.

  "Dragon Emperor, wanting the elixir is not impossible." Cold-as-Snow looked at Long Huan's massive body and said lightly.

  "Really." Long Hao's face was full of surprise, this elixir is really good stuff!

  "But I won't give it to you for free, you have to trade something in return." Leng Ruoxue threw out the bait and stated her purpose.

  "What's wrong? I'm very poor and have no money." Long Hao hurriedly said with a bitter face.

  "Damn it, you Long Clan are the richest, yet you still dare to be stingy? Are you going to lose face for your Dragon Clan or not?" Feng Zhan bluntly exposed him, the Long Clan is indeed good at hoarding valuable things.

  "I don't want your money." Cold as snow, she gave Long Hua a helpless glance. She had long heard that the dragon tribe was greedy for wealth and beauty, small-minded by nature. Today, seeing him, it was indeed true to his reputation.

  "That's good." Long Hao didn't care about Feng Zhan's cold ridicule, and when he heard Leng Ruoxue say that she didn't want any money, he let out a sigh of relief.

  "What do you want?" Long Hao asked again.

  "Dragon Emperor, won't you invite us in for a seat?" Long Huan didn't respond to Long Hao's question, instead asking.

  "Ah, sorry about that, I forgot. Please come in!" Long Hao said with some embarrassment. To be honest, he hadn't planned on inviting these people in before, but things were different now.

  Long Hao finished speaking, and a bridge immediately appeared between Long Island and the beach. Leng Ruoxue and others stepped onto the small bridge under the guidance of the Dragon Emperor and entered Long Island.

  Upon entering Long Island, Leng Ruoxue only discovered that the entire island was unexpectedly large. The small hill seen from the outside was merely one corner of the island.

  It's just that this Dragon Island... is a bit too desolate, isn't it? Although the island stretches as far as the eye can see, there isn't even a single tree. The entire island is nothing but steep cliffs and precipices, with countless stone caves carved into the cliff faces.

  "That's where our dragon clan resides." Long Hao explained, seeing that Leng Ruoxue was sizing up the caves.

  "Don't you dragons come out and move around during the day?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. When she was in the Phoenix tribe's territory, she often saw those phoenixes, but on this large Dragon Island, she hadn't seen a single dragon.

  "The dragon tribe likes to sleep, so for most of the year, they rest in their own dens." Long Hao said with a hint of embarrassment, his face slightly flushed.

  "Just say your dragon clan is too lazy, that's all." Feng Zhan's chilly voice floated over.

  "You dead bird, if you don't speak nobody will think you're mute." Long Hao shouted with wide eyes.

  "My mouth is on me, I want to say it, what's it to you!" Feng Zhan retorted, humming! No way, who let him like to sing against Long Hao.

  "Stop arguing." Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of displeasure, her beautiful eyes glanced at them lightly, and Feng Zhan and Long Hao immediately understood and shut their mouths.

  "This is the grand hall of our dragon clan, Miss Leng please enter." After walking for a while, Long Hao pointed to a cave and said very politely. Compared to the violent dragon outside the island earlier, it was like two different dragons.

  "Alright." Leng Ruo Xue steeled herself and walked into the cave.

  The cave is relatively clean, but compared to the grand hall of the Feng tribe, it looks a bit simple. On both sides of the throne, there are only a few rows of stone chairs, nothing else.

  "Everyone, please take a seat!" After entering the mountain cave, Long Hao transformed into human form and sat directly on his own throne.

  Leng Ruoxue casually found a chair and sat down, raising her eyes to look at Long Hao sitting in the first position. This dragon was also an exceptionally handsome man, with a tall and majestic physique, purple-gold hair, golden eyes that shone brightly and intimidated people, exuding an aura of royalty.

  Why are all the people who have transformed into spiritual beasts so beautiful? She couldn't understand it.

  "Leng Miss, I don't know what you want me to exchange it with?" After sitting down, Long Hao asked somewhat impatiently. He was extremely interested in that dan medicine.

  "I said Stinky Dragon, can't you even serve some tea or snacks? Is this how you treat your guests?" Feng Zhan couldn't help but start picking on him again before Leng Ruo Xue could respond.

  "Someone, bring some fruit." Long Hao suppressed his anger and ordered, but in his heart he was furious, so angry that he wanted to roast the bird and eat it.

  "This is about right." Feng Zhan nodded in satisfaction, with a you're-really-getting-it expression.

  After a short wait, Long came up with a tray of fruit and placed it in front of several people.

  "Master, this dragon tribe's Longyan fruit may not be as good as our Phoenix tribe's Fenghuang fruit, but it's still decent. Try some." Feng Zhan handed a green, pear-shaped fruit to Leng Ruo Xue.

  "You're a dead bird, who says that our dragon clan's Longyuan fruit is inferior to the Phoenix fruit?" Long Hao was most annoyed by such words and immediately let out a loud roar, his thunderous voice causing the entire cave to shake.

  This time, Leng Ruo Xue heard the two arguing again. Without even lifting an eyelid, she took out a red fruit from her ring and put it to her lips, lightly biting into it. Instantly, the fragrance of the fruit wafted through the entire cave.

  "It smells so good!" Long Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at Leng Ruoxue.

  "Master, where did this fruit come from?" Feng Zhan also asked with a surprised face, the aroma was so enticing that just smelling it made one's heart feel carefree and joyful.

  "Of course it's delicious." Leng Ruoxue said while eating.

  "Who planted it? Is there any more?" Feng Zhan asked anxiously, the spiritual energy contained in that fruit was not something that the Phoenix Fruit could compare to.

  "Do you want it?" Cold as snow, she revealed a big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood expression, and asked faintly.

  "I do, of course." Feng Zhan hastily replied.

  "I want it too." Long Hao also hastened to express his attitude, afraid that if he was late, there would be none left.

  "How does it compare to your Dragon's Saliva Fruit and Phoenix Fruit?" asked Leng Ruoxue, glancing at the two with a faint smile.

  "There's no comparison!" they exclaimed in unison.

  "Are you done arguing?" asked Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Alright, alright." The two of them smiled and said in unison.

  "Here you go, as for the Dragon Emperor, if you want it, just bring something to exchange!" Leng Ruoxue tossed a storage ring to Feng Zhan, then said to Long Hao.

  "Master, you're too good." Feng Zhan quickly put away the storage ring, as if afraid someone would come and snatch it.

  "Miss Leng, what do you want? Anything but money is fine." Long Hao said ruthlessly.

  "Don't worry, I don't want your money." Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly. Is the dragon clan really that poor? So stingy.

  "That's all right, Miss Leng. Whatever I can do for you, I'll try my best to satisfy." Long Hao said with a magnanimous tone.

  "Master, let me say it for you!" Feng Zhan winked at Leng Ruo Xue, his face full of mysterious meaning.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded in agreement, consenting to let Feng Zhan be her spokesperson.

  "Stinky dragon, listen up! My master's conditions are simple. First: we need to repair the yuan grass. This shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Feng Zhan asked with a raised eyebrow.

  "It's not difficult." Xiū Yuán Cǎo was of no use to them at all.

  "Secondly: You guys caught a human recently, didn't you?"

  "How did you know?" Long Hao asked curiously, but his eyes were sizing up Leng Ruoxue, wondering if she was related to that human. If so, it wouldn't be easy to deal with!

  "To be honest with you, humans are under my master's subordinates." Feng Zhan and Long Hao clearly stated, so as not to let him make wild guesses.

  "Oh, are there other conditions?" Long Hao asked, trying to change the subject.

  "Yes."

  "What?" How can there be so many conditions? I hope it won't make him feel embarrassed, Long Hao couldn't help but pray in his heart, because he really wanted those fruits and elixirs!

  "My master's subordinates need a contract beast, and your dragon clan is not bad, with thick skin and endurance to beatings. So, sacrifice a few stinky dragons!" Feng Zhan said with a smile, his face full of kindness.

  "This is impossible!" Long Hao stood up from his chair, his face filled with anger as he glared at Feng Zhan. A dragon was contracted by a human, and the dragon clan almost went to war over it; if there were several more, those elders would have eaten him alive!

  "Since the Dragon Emperor is unwilling, I won't force it either. For now, let's temporarily exchange the Xiuyuan grass for Feng Da. If the dragon tribe wants to make other transactions, they can come find me at the Phoenix tribe anytime." Leng Ruo Xue also stood up, coldly saying this as she glanced at Feng Zhan, originally thinking that he had intended to find a contract beast for his subordinate from the Dragon tribe. Hmm, not a bad idea, but the dragon tribe isn't so easily fooled.

  "Leng young lady, the Xiū Yuán grass is fine, but as for that human, I need to discuss it with the elders before making a decision." Long Hao said with a troubled face.

  "The mighty Dragon Emperor can't even handle this small matter?" asked Leng Ruoxue with a hint of mockery.

  "Uh... actually, that human is not in my hands." Long Hao said softly.

  "Where is it?" asked Leng Ruoxue, feigning impatience.

  "He was captured by the three elders of our dragon clan, and that human has been in the hands of the third elder all along." Long Hao explained that the third elder went to the Liangfeng continent to find his son, but found out that his own son had actually been contracted by a human. In a fit of anger, he captured that human and brought him back.

  "The three elders and that fire dragon..." Cold as snow, Mei's beautiful eyes stared at Long Hua, asking faintly.

  "Father and son." Long Hao sold out the three elders without hesitation, revealing their relationship.

  "Oh, I see." Cold as Snow's face was filled with understanding.

  "Dragon Emperor, can I see the three elders?" Leng Ruoxue continued to ask. If she couldn't persuade that old dragon, then she would have no choice but to use force. In any case, she was determined to take Feng Da away today.

  "Hmm...alright, but the three elders have bad tempers." Long Hao reminded.

  "It doesn't matter, I'm also a bit temperamental." said Leng Ruoxue nonchalantly.

  Long Hao heard Leng Ruoxue's words, his face filled with black lines. What did she mean by this? Was she trying to use violence to control violence? Hmm, it wasn't impossible, Third Elder, good luck!

  For his own benefit, Long Hao easily betrayed the three elders. After bringing Leng Ruoxue and others to the residence of the three elders, he casually found an excuse and slipped away.

  "Master, shall we go in?" Feng Zhan asked with a eager face, he loved beating up Long the most.

  "Father King, let me take the lead!" Feng Ling'er's beautiful face was filled with excitement. She couldn't beat Dragon Emperor, but the three elders were still no problem for her.

  "What are you doing? We didn't come here to fight." Lan Ruo Xue wiped away a few cold sweat drops from her forehead, saying helplessly, this violent father and daughter!

  "What are we doing here?" Feng Ling'er looked puzzled, those stinky dragons were very stubborn and wouldn't budge without a fight.

  "Of course I'm here for negotiations, and I'll convince you with reason!" Leng Ruoxue said with a straight face, her stunningly beautiful face showing no signs of shame.

  "Oh!" Feng Zhan and Feng Ling'er responded in unison, but their eyes were filled with the words "unbelievable".

  "Take back your gaze, I am a pacifist." Leng Ruo Xue said, without even looking at them, and directly walked into the cave.

  "Who are you people, daring to trespass on this old man's estate?"

  Leng Ruoxue had just walked into the cave and hadn't yet made out the situation inside when a loud, powerful roar came from within.

  Still calling this a mansion? Leng Ruoxue couldn't help but laugh, this old dragon is quite interesting, actually referring to this broken cave as a mansion, it's really impressive that he came up with this.

  "Little girl, what are you smiling at?" A tall and handsome middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of Leng Ruoxue, his face full of displeasure as he asked, although he didn't know how a human could appear within the clan, but this little girl's guts were not small!

  "What a broken cave, where does it look like a mansion?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously with a full face. This old dragon is quite interesting, other dragons all like their own body shape, but he actually appears in human form, does he yearn for human life?

  "The Broken Mountain Cave is also my residence." The middle-aged man glared and bellowed loudly.

  "I told you, Long Lao San, what are you shouting about? Don't scare my master." Feng Zhan also walked in and said with a face full of accusation.

  "Phoenix King! Eh, your master? Who is that?" The three elders were shocked, their jaws almost dropping to the ground. Had he gone deaf? It seemed like they just heard the Phoenix King say "his master"?

  "The master in his mouth is me!" Leng Ruoxue explained with a good intention, and she had been thinking about how to move this old dragon. Her principle was that if she could not fight, she would not fight, but if she had to fight, she would beat her opponent thoroughly, once and for all.

  "The majestic Phoenix King actually acknowledges humans as masters, haha, if the ancestors of your Phoenix clan knew about this, I don't know if they would be furious to death." The three elders burst out laughing upon hearing this.

  "Dragon Third Brother, don't worry, the Phoenix Ancestor will definitely be very grateful to me. I am a great contributor to our clan." Feng Zhan said with an expressionless face, not even raising an eyebrow.

  "Is that so? Haha! Feng Wang, is this little girl the one you brought in?" asked San Lao with a 'I knew it' expression.

  "Shameless advisor!" Feng Zhan spat out the four words, turning his face to one side, too lazy to look at that complacent old stinky dragon.

  "Three Elders, I heard you caught a human?" asked Leng Ruoxue tentatively, wanting to see the attitude of this old dragon.

  "What's that got to do with anything? Are you here for that human?" The Third Elder guessed, harrumphing. Just mentioning that human made him furious.

  "Yes, he is under me, I hope the three elders can return him to me." Leng Ruoxue said with a gentle tone.

  "Rest assured!" The three elders didn't even think about it and flatly refused. That human had no chance of leaving Dragon Island, he couldn't bear the thought of his own son being enslaved by humans.

  "The three elders can propose any conditions, as long as I can satisfy them, they are acceptable." Leng Ruoxue said patiently, this was a courtesy before taking action, if the old dragon still refused to understand, then it would not be her fault.

  "Unless they can dissolve the contract, it's out of the question." The three elders said stubbornly.

  "Three Elders, as a spiritual beast, you should be well aware that the soul contract cannot be dissolved. Isn't this forcing someone to do something difficult?" Cold Snow heard the old dragon's condition and also became somewhat angry. She spoke in a gentle tone, not wanting to have too much conflict with the dragon tribe. Although with her power, she didn't fear the dragon tribe at all, but if there was a simple and effortless way to achieve her goal, she still wouldn't want to resort to violence.

  "This elder has only one condition." The three elders did not budge at all.

  "In that case, I'm afraid I'll have to offend Third Elder." Cold Snow said, and directly took action. A thin thread of green spiritual energy floated out from her fingertips, slowly wrapping around Third Elder's body, tightly binding him up.

  "Hmph! This bit of spiritual energy thinks it can take me on!" The Third Elder said with a face full of disdain, as a divine beast, this tiny amount of spiritual energy wasn't even worth his notice, so he didn't even bother to dodge or resist, allowing the thin threads to wrap around his body...

  At the same time, in the prison cell of Ryūgū-jima.

  "Master, master, that female calamity star has arrived." A fire dragon hastily flew to the edge of a cliff's stone wall and roared at the person locked inside.

  "Which female evil star?" The person inside asked slowly.

  "It's...the female calamity star who was contracted to Master." The fire dragon hastily explained.

  "Are you saying the young lady has arrived? Come to rescue me?" Reacting, Feng Da hurriedly ran to the front of Huo Long and asked across the thick bars.

  "Yes, but she's no match for those dragons at all." The fire dragon said with some worry, poor master...

  "Nonsense, Miss could fix you up at first, now she can also tame other dragons. And don't call her Miss Female Demon Star!" Feng Da's large hand slapped the Fire Dragon's head with a 'slap', scolding it.

  Miss is his idol, there's nothing that Miss can't do! Feng Da Xin said, his blind worship of Leng Ruo Xue has reached an unspeakable height.
