Chapter 623: Using both kindness and force to bribe
Chapter 623: Using both kindness and force to bribe
If he was alone with Li Lan'er, Kong Xuan could naturally pretend to be a wooden man who didn't understand romance and treat her emotions coldly.
But unfortunately, Wen Rui on the side was extremely thick-skinned, and Li Liuer was also a carefree person, not caring about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame at all.
At that time in Jambudvīpa, there was no strict separation between men and women, and the moralists had not even had time to be born.
The Zhou rituals were only circulated among the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, the current King of Zhou was a man who had abandoned rituals and music and only favored his concubines. The eternal joke of lighting beacons to trick the princes was brewing.
The mermaids had never attended a single day of school in the Zhou Dynasty, so how could they consider all these trivial things?
As for the orthodox education system within the Demon Alliance, there is no ideological education class in the knowledge of the Jiejiao.
In order to increase the birth rate within the Demon Alliance and the degree of integration between humans and demons, the textbooks even secretly teach students to be good at expressing their emotions and not to suppress them, or to engage in hypocritical talk like "Lust, Caution".
The level of openness of the Demon Alliance is probably comparable to that of a certain Hope Country. It is very normal for teenagers in school to have interracial boyfriends and girlfriends.
Therefore, even if her best friend and her boyfriend are around, a lively girl like Li Liuer doesn't care about being seen at all.
Not to mention Wen Rui, who even seemed to be showing off deliberately for Kong Xuan. Even though the little monkey's size somewhat limited his performance, he was still skilled and experienced.
Although they haven't entered the alley yet, the preliminary preparations alone have made the girl's cheeks blush and her breathing become heavier.
It's not just a hint, it's a blatant statement. Even an idiot can see the problem if you act dumb at this moment.
Li Lan'er had already noticed something was wrong, and her expression changed from expectation to confusion, and then gradually to grievance and resentment.
Kong Xuan's scalp tingled, and he realized that he must have fallen into Wen Rui's trap. This guy had suffered setbacks all the way, and he finally found an opportunity to play a prank on him.
Tears were already welling up in Li Lan'er's eyes. She seemed to have understood that Mr. Diao didn't want anything to happen between them, and the marriage of her dreams had ultimately turned into nothing.
Kong Xuan was also struggling with his conscience. Seeing her so sad, he was not a heartless person, so how could he not feel pity and love for her? But no matter what, he just couldn't get over it and indulge in his desires.
At this most awkward moment, Kong Xuan sensed something with his consciousness. His eagle eyes turned towards the dark sea, and his expression became solemn.
Wen Rui, who was busy tasting seafood, also looked up, his face full of grief and indignation, as if he had lost 100 million yuan. He said hatefully: "Are you kidding me? Who is this blind bastard who dares to ruin my good deeds!"
The strange reactions of the monkey and the eagle immediately alerted the two mermaid girls who had already been confused.
They are professional police officers who have received professional training and are naturally vigilant.
The two's spiritual perception was immediately released, covering the sea area within a radius of one hundred miles. In the ocean environment, the perception of mermaids is much greater than that of land races. Although they are only at the Nascent Soul stage, their perception range has reached one hundred miles.
However, they sensed nothing.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Liuer couldn't help asking, "It's obviously nothing..."
Before she could finish her words, a wave surged on the sea, the water surface parted, and a huge monster slowly rose from the bottom of the sea and slowly rose into the air.
Under the moonlight, the two mermaid girls could see clearly that what was rising from the seabed was a large dragon boat over 100 meters long. The dragon boat was suspended in the air more than ten meters above the sea surface, looking down from a high place and full of oppression. The gilded dragon head carved on the bow had a pair of lifelike dragon eyes, which faintly emitted a red light, as if staring at the tiny creatures below.
A figure slowly floated down from the dragon boat. That figure had a dragon head and a human body, dressed in a purple robe embroidered with gold dragons. He had the aura of a king and an extraordinary bearing.
"The Dragon King has arrived, why don't you common people quickly bow down to him?"
The man was suspended in the air in front of the few people, standing with his hands behind his back. When he opened his mouth, it was like a dragon thunder exploding. His voice full of dragon power resounded through the sky. This dragon roar contained immortal power. While he was speaking, a strong wind blew violently, and the roof of the small shed where Wen Rui and the others were located was blown off.
The Dragon King spoke, and his words came true. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with thick clouds, blocking the bright moonlight. The fishy smell in the sea breeze became stronger, as if a storm was about to descend on the earth.
The moonlight disappeared, and the surroundings suddenly became pitch black, with only the night pearl in the hut emitting a faint light.
The huge dragon boat behind the Dragon King suddenly turned on its lighting equipment, and it was like a small sun appeared in the sky, instantly illuminating the entire island as if it were daytime.
The strong light from several of the searchlights converged on the small shed, making it almost impossible for the people in the shed to see straight.
Wen Rui recognized this guy. It was Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea. When this guy saw him, he acted like a dog, with his dragon tail wagging. Now he was acting like a dog in dragon form, and he was still pretending.
The entrance show was so oppressive, it was obviously a demonstration. Wen Rui recalled the unlucky dragon prince who was captured during the day and roughly guessed his purpose.
The two mermaid girls paused for a moment, unable to withstand the pressure released by the other party.
They have received professional dragon-subduing training, and can resist the might of immortal dragons, but the Dragon King is no ordinary dragon. His true dragon body is equivalent to that of a peak true immortal.
The gap in realm was too great. Even with the two mermaids in the Nascent Soul realm using the Dragon Subduing Technique, it was still extremely difficult for them to resist, as if they were carrying a huge burden.
"The Demon Alliance Act has already been promulgated. We, the mermaids, no longer have to kneel down to the dragons!"
The pressure was enormous, but Li Lan'er still straightened her spine and held her head high and said, "If you don't put away your dragon power, it will be a blatant attack on the police. I have the right to defend myself!"
Seeing that he couldn't scare her, Ao Run rolled his eyes, restrained his breath, shook his head and said, "The young generation nowadays is really getting more and more unruly. My dragon clan has ruled the four seas for tens of thousands of years. We are the legitimate kings canonized by the Heavenly Court. The Demon Alliance is only in power temporarily. How can their piece of legislation overstep the Jade Emperor's decree?"
"I do not recognize the decree of the Heavenly Court, but only the law of the Demon Alliance, because the gods in the Heavenly Court have never looked at us mermaids straight in the eye and have never regarded us as their people."
Li Lan'er seemed like a different person, from a gentle and shy girl to a motivated and righteous police officer.
"Young man, don't be too arrogant. The Demon Alliance may not last forever, but the Heavenly Court will surely last forever."
The Dragon King narrowed his eyes and sneered, "There is an old saying in the human race, 'Leave a way for others so that we can meet again in the future.' When the day comes when the Demon Alliance declines, as long as you still live in the sea, you will kneel before us dragons sooner or later."
"Now I will give you a chance. When you write your report tomorrow, you only need to admit that you made mistakes in enforcing the law and that my son did nothing wrong."
"In exchange, I'll give you 100 million flesh coins. If you want any treasures or magic weapons, just ask for them. You can choose whatever is in the Dragon Palace."
