Chapter 648: Chapter 76 Trust Has Not Yet Been Fully Established Chapter 648: Chapter 76 Trust Has Not Yet Been Fully Established In the bedroom, Long Long was grooming Long Hu’s tail fur while contemplating whether to flee or not.
Long Long’s current persona was not much different from several other storylines.
Although seemingly splendid within his faction, that brilliance was achieved through deception and concealment.
Once the Azure Dragon Clan found out that he intended to whisk Long Hu away to the reclusive realms of Beiming Fanyang, a fallout would be inevitable.
The Azure Dragon could accept Long Long as one of the Azure Dragon Clan, but not as one from the Jiaolong Clan.
This was a clear boundary issue.
Unfortunately, Long Long had his own lines that couldn’t be crossed either.
As it stood, there were two main directions to strive for: one was cultivation, as only reaching a high level of cultivation would he have the confidence to stand up against the Azure Dragon Clan.
The second was to take advantage of Shi Yao’s connections and abilities.
After all, as a remnant of the Jiaolong Clan, their interests aligned with his own…
but that required the other party to trust and accept him first.
Long Long wasn’t so arrogant as to think that just because he was from the Jiaolong Clan, the other remnants would trust him unreservedly.
“What’s wrong, Long Long?” Long Hu noticed his subdued mood and cautiously asked.
“Hu,” Long Long touched her hair and sighed as he questioned, “What do you think about the Azure Dragon Clan?”
“Why?” Long Long was moved, but still somewhat skeptical, probed further, “Doesn’t the Dragon Clan treat you well?
At least in terms of cultivation resources, you have everything at your disposal, right?
Besides, if you stay within the Azure Dragon Clan, with your lineage, it’s certain you’d rise to a high position, perhaps even clan leader…”
“That may be true, but they are only interested in my bloodline,” Long Hu’s tail drooped dejectedly as she suddenly questioned with a shock, “Have you asked this question before?”
Hahaha,” Long Long quickly defended, “I was just making sure that your thoughts haven’t changed.”
“If you’re so worried about me, why don’t you just marry me?” Long Hu clung to his neck and playfully suggested, “Once we’re married, I wouldn’t be able to leave you, right?”
“Cough, indeed that’s the case,” Long Long helped the fox straighten up in his arms and spoke affectionately, “but you know what the clan’s intentions are.”
The fox’s ears drooped sadly.
She knew the clan would allow her to marry Long Long, but only if Qin Ye were to be the principal wife since the leader of the Azure Dragon Clan had to be from their own kind.
And her bloodline was too mixed to be accepted by the Azure Dragon Clan.
“Since that’s the case, let’s make a run for it quickly!” Long Hu suddenly hopped out of his embrace and began circling the room excitedly, her tail sweeping about energetically, “Once we leave the Dragon Clan, whenever we marry, there won’t be anyone to interfere or restrict us!”
“Quiet!” Long Long quickly embraced her again and covered her mouth, “Careful, the walls have ears.”
After a prolonged period of intimate whispering, Long Long adjusted his clothes and left Long Hu’s bedroom, stealthily reaching out to Shi Yao.
Officially, Shi Yao was an elder of the Azure Dragon Clan, and also the Dragon Clan’s public model that “all dragons under heaven are one family,” but it was obvious that if Long Long was discovered frequently meeting with her, it would undoubtedly raise the Azure Dragon Clan’s suspicions.
Therefore, the two could only meet secretly in the seclusion of the clan territory…
It was finally starting to feel a bit like a spy affair.
“Why did you suddenly think to come looking for me?” Shi Yao asked him with a smile that was not quite a smile, “No longer getting close to those girls?”
“Cough cough.” Long Long felt slightly embarrassed as he recounted the recent events with Feng Yan and Gui Ling’er seeking him out, “I wonder what Master thinks of this?”
“This was to be expected,” Shi Yao answered calmly, “Neither side can compromise with the Qilin, yet they fear an alliance between the Qilin and the White Tiger, so they are hurriedly seeking the Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.”
“With Qin Beiwang unyielding and the Ancestral Azure Dragon retiring behind the scenes, the only way to break the deadlock is through you.”
“Then how should your disciple respond?” Long Long quickly asked.
“Can’t you think of how to respond?” Shi Yao asked back curiously, “Do you know that recently Feng Yan went to Qin Beiwang, claiming to greatly admire your talent and wanting the Vermilion Bird Clan to take you as a son-in-law?”
“How could I, Long Long, possess such merit to attract such favor!” Long Long quickly covered his face, feigning embarrassment, “What did the clan leader say?”
“If Feng Yan can see your talent, do you think Qin Beiwang can’t?” Shi Yao replied with a cold smile, “But the fact that Feng Yan could offer a piece of territory as a dowry, including three meteoric ore mines, almost made Qin Beiwang agree, truly an audacious move.”
Almost changing his stance means that although he didn’t in the end, he already entertained the idea.
Damn, I knew the Azure Dragon Clan couldn’t be relied on!
I, Long Long, a fine White Dragon, am being arranged by you to mate here and there, where is the dignity in that!
Seeing Long Long’s indignant expression, Shi Yao’s heart steadied, but she said:
“I see that Long Hu His Highness doesn’t seem to be a jealous type.
Truly, if it were not for competing for the position of chief wife, it wouldn’t matter even if you married them all.
All the major lords view you as a son-in-law, so no matter who wins this struggle, they wouldn’t easily target you.”
“How can this be acceptable?” Long Long immediately showed strong disapproval, “I bear the future of the Jiaolong Clan on my shoulders!
How could I sink to becoming a son-in-law for families with various surnames?”
“Since you are unwilling to engage in marital alliances, then it’s simple.” Shi Yao observed his expression and, seeing that it didn’t seem false, she continued languidly, “Ultimately, the Azure Dragon Clan is in charge.
As long as Qin Beiwang does not yield, no one can do anything to you.”
“In other words, as long as you maintain a good relationship with Qin Ye, seeing this, Qin Beiwang naturally won’t have the thought of betrothing you elsewhere.”
“I see,” Long Long pretended to have a sudden realization.
Seeing Shi Yao’s expression relax, knowing that she no longer suspected him of siding with other Demon Races, he immediately seized the moment to ask, “Master, wasn’t the main branch of the Jiaolong Clan in Beiming Fanyang?
Why haven’t they provided us with any Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.”
“Our lineage has resided in West State for generations and only later returned to the Azure Dragon Clan.
If we still had ties with the Main Clan, do you think the Azure Dragon Clan would welcome our allegiance?”
“As for your affairs, Your Highness, there’s no need to worry.
Now is not the time to leave the Dragon Clan, you should just patiently cultivate and accumulate strength.
When the time comes, we will inform you.”
“By the way, the Mystical Abilities Secret Scroll I gave you last time, with many secret techniques unique to our clan, how is your cultivation coming along?”
Seeing Shi Yao absolutely refrain from mentioning matters of their own clan, Long Long realized that he still hadn’t earned enough trust, similar to Wei Dongliu’s relationship with the Hell Path, so he could only helplessly say:
“Mmm, regarding the Divine Skills of the Jiaolong Clan, your disciple indeed has some questions to consult with Master…”
