Qi Yu and Si Qing looked up at Yan Hua together.
Yan Hua always felt their gazes were strange: "Can the three of you stop looking at me like that? It doesn't feel like I'm about to shed dragon scales; your looks make it seem like I'm a chicken about to molt."
Qi Yu was amused by Yan Hua's analogy.
Si Qing covered her face.
Chen Xi acted like a weasel: "How could that be? Do I look like a dragon like that? I just thought shedding scales yourself must be very difficult, so I wanted to help, after all, you're getting on in years."
Qi Yu and Si Qing covered their mouths and burst into laughter. When they met Yan Hua's half-smiling gaze, they immediately shut their mouths.
Chen Xi, still oblivious, continued to look at Yan Hua with a sly grin, only to be hit on the head by Yan Hua's raised hand.
"Look at your expression, you said you wanted to help, and I believed you." Yan Hua tugged Chen Xi's ear: "I'll come find you for help later, and you'll help me shed all of them, piece by piece."
Chen Xi's smile froze on his face, feeling like he had gotten himself into big trouble.
Not far away.
The West Sea Dragon King finally figured it out.
After much thought, he finally stood up and decided to go to Wangsi City.
"Lord Yan Hua, I know you have many concerns, but I still implore you to help me. With my own strength, I will surely not be able to find such a large Wangsi City. But if you can help me, we can search together and should be able to find it quickly," the West Sea Dragon King said while bowing.
Yan Hua's expression remained unmoved.
Si Qing refused before Qi Yu could: "West Sea Dragon King, we know you want to find your niece's soul, and we understand this journey is not easy. However, I am truly sorry, but I cannot let my sister take this risk."
The West Sea Dragon King also knew his request would not be granted, so he sighed and nodded. After thanking them, he turned and went to the Underworld alone.
Chen Xi stood in place and watched. After seeing the West Sea Dragon King walk away until he was no longer visible, he turned back and led everyone back to the South Sea Dragon Palace.
South Sea.
Since Shaofeng abdicated his position as South Sea Dragon King, he felt completely relaxed. Not only were his dragon scales smoother than before, but his complexion had also improved.
An Nuo no longer had to be the South Sea Dragon Queen and deal with all sorts of messy official duties from dawn till dusk. Her dragon scales and complexion had also improved considerably.
The two of them stood together, appearing at least 5,000 years younger than before.
Qi Yu and Si Qing were not so lucky.
After returning from the Underworld, one of them rushed to the North Sea to bring back all the official documents for processing.
The other returned to the South Sea and directly took Shaofeng's place on the Dragon King's throne. Together with Qi Yu, who had just returned from the North Sea, they buried their heads in processing official documents.
Opposite them.
"Ah, this is so satisfying," Shaofeng said, sitting cross-legged on the ground, watching Si Qing who had been working diligently since their return. "Keep it up, you brat."
"...Father, you're still alive, and you're young and handsome," Si Qing said, looking up from the pile of documents, gritting his teeth. "Why can't you work a few more years?"
"I'm learning from the Heavenly Emperor," Shaofeng pointed at Yue Zhiyin not far away. "This prodigal son gave his North Sea Dragon King title to your sister. As your father, of course, I have to give you the same! Twins should be treated fairly!"
Qi Yu, holding a pen and processing documents, couldn't help but retort when he heard this: "That's what you call fair? Father, if you want to be lazy, just be lazy. Please don't make yourself sound so noble."
