Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 692 - 701: The Escaping Black Dragon (8 updates)

The next morning, Ye Ling felt like his head was about to explode. It had been so long since he'd drunk this much. Before, he would use Spiritual Power to counteract the alcohol, but now, this unfamiliar hangover was really uncomfortable.

Ye Ling rubbed his head and slowly opened his eyes, feeling as if his throat was on fire.

"Water, water."

Ye Ling called out subconsciously and suddenly, a bowl of water was handed to him, still the black water from the Black Dragon River, that magical black water.

Gulping it down, Ye Ling finished the bowl in a few swigs. The black water slowly helped him transform his entire body from within.

Delicious, sweet and refreshing, only after that did Ye Ling truly open his eyes, and suddenly he was stunned. Holy crap, what's all this?

There, by his bedside, sat A'Niu, also with a face that looked like it had seen too much, barely able to keep his eyes open and his head buzzing, almost unable to stay seated.

In the room were Huzi, the village chief, and a dozen other guys with excited faces, all full of anticipation, making Ye Ling's skin crawl.

"Hey, what's all this about, chief? It was just a few drinks, do we really need this crowd? What's going on here?"

"Damn it, A'Niu, wake up. Drinking in Heilong Village isn't violating some taboo, is it? Chief, I really didn't know, it was him who told me to drink!"

Ye Ling was startled, damn, look at their eyes, they're all green! He had no idea what they were up to.

The village chief cracked a smile, which scared Ye Ling even more. See, even the old fox's smile was trembling.

"Ye Ling, right? Do you remember what you said last night?"

The village chief spoke slowly, and Ye Ling paused, trying to remember, but his head hurt so much; however, fragments of memories emerged, an incomplete version.

"By the window lies the moon so bright, two pairs of shoes on the ground, a man and a woman on the bed, and you were among them."

"What's the deal, there's a Black Dragon in our village? That's a creature of legend."

"Hey brother, tell me, this Black Dragon of our Heilong Village, is it male or female, does it have any offspring?"

"And then, it was suppressed by a Bodhisattva at the bottom of the sea for thousands of years, haha, we're not talking about the same thing, are we?"

"Haha, if it's the same thing, that would be hilarious. Xiao Hei, oh Xiao Hei, you've escaped only to be suppressed by Guanyin at the bottom of the sea, how can you not be stifled to death!"

Thinking back on these, Ye Ling's eyes widened in realization. Damn, did I accidentally insult their revered Black Dragon Spirit and Huzi the bastard ratted me out?

"Huzi, was it you?"

Ye Ling asked through gritted teeth. Huzi raised his head proudly: "Of course, Grandpa Chief said he would definitely reward me well, heh."

"Damn you, you're really something, you treacherous kid, why do you have to blab about everything?"

"Chief, I'm sorry, but you have to know, I didn't mean it. In my heart, the Black Dragon Spirit is supremely noble and exalted, I really didn't mean anything else."

"And yeah, it's because I can't keep my mouth shut, I deserve to be beaten, rest assured, I'll absolutely keep my mouth in check."

Ye Ling thought they had all come looking for him because of the jokes he and A'Niu had made about the Black Dragon Spirit, revered by everyone, and he quickly said so.

Have you not heard? Even if the Palace Master of Xuantian Palace came here, he wouldn't necessarily be able to leave safely, and my Spiritual Power has been sealed, so I'm worth jack squat.

I bet if the village chief swung his cane, I'd be seriously injured in one hit. Why even bother fighting? The whole village is armed to the teeth.

The village chief was taken aback. Has this kid gone mad? What's he rambling about? So he quickly said, "Ye Ling, I heard from Huzi that you told A'Niu you have a Hei Long, right?"

Ye Ling was startled, then realized what this was about and nodded in acknowledgment, "Yeah, I do have one."

"Is it also extraordinarily immune to Divine Skills?"

The village chief asked excitedly, and Ye Ling scratched his head, "Yeah, it is. What about it? Listen, village chief, as A'Niu said, our Hei Long has been dead for so many years, and mine is just a few thousand years old."

"Ye Ling, I think that Hei Long of yours must be the one that escaped from our village thousands of years ago. You know, although the world is vast and full of wonders, there are no two creatures with exactly the same traits."

"Would you mind calling it over so we can have a look? After all, it's very likely the Holy Beast of our village," the village chief said eagerly, his eyes gleaming, making Ye Ling tremble inwardly.

"No can do. I have lots of enemies around here, and Xiao Hei is a defensive force at my home. If I called it here and something happened, I wouldn't be able to cope."

"You know well those bastards from Xuantian Palace are inhumane. They don't care about common folks, let alone respect the old and love the young."

Ye Ling flat out refused. Safety was not something to gamble with. Of course, although he had his clone at home, that still wasn't as strong as Hei Long.

The village chief became anxious upon hearing this, "Hey, you little rascal, what are you saying? I assure you, nothing will go wrong. Don't think I don't know. Those bastards are cruel and ruthless, but they're too proud."

"They would never lay a hand on common people. Just call the Hei Long over quickly, and if it's not the right one, we will let it go immediately, alright?"

Ye Ling glared, then suddenly felt uncertain. Hey, listening to this tone, it sounded like if it turned out to be the right one, they wouldn't let it go, would they?

The village chief seemed to notice Ye Ling's worry, "The Hei Long's decision to stay or leave should be left to itself, don't you think? After all, it is regarded as the Holy Beast of our village."

"This has been the wish of all the villagers here for thousands of years. I beg you, if you agree to this, I will take you to Hei Long Pool!" he said, ready to kneel, but Ye Ling quickly helped him up, rubbing his head, unsure of what to do.

"How about this, I'll ask it, and if it's willing to come, I definitely won't stop it, how's that?" Ye Ling said helplessly, while the village chief nodded eagerly, "Thank you. Tell the Hei Long that in Hei Long River, there's something left behind by it."

In Donghai City, within Ye Ling's estate, Ye Ling's clone came up to the swimming pool. Ye Ling did not tell his family about his outing, not wanting to worry them, which was just fine as he was enjoying his time at home with the kids, living blissfully.

"Hey, Xiao Hei, look at you, man. Damn, turns out you're a runaway dragon," Ye Ling said, arms akimbo.

Xiao Hei immediately got worked up in the pool, his body flying out, "Who are you calling a runaway? Who's run away? You're the one who's run away! I've been staying here every day, where would I run off to?"

"Alright, alright, someone told me to tell you, there's still something left for you in Hei Long River, left by your mother," Ye Ling said with a sly smile, being all mysterious.
