Chapter 300 She Came to Ask for an Answer
Undersea Dragon Palace.
Zhai Rong wiped away the talisman and landed inside a palace.
A faint glow flickered across her collarbone. She used a talisman to circle some seawater as a mirror, and then she saw a cluster of wave patterns on her collarbone. The light flashed and then disappeared.
Zhai Rongyu was stunned.
Could this be the underwater star that Master spoke of, left to her by her mother?
It seems that he has truly become one with her.
The immaculate spirit, embodying all seven emotions and six desires, reshaped her original body, and the relics left to her by her mother remained within her for a long, long time.
Zhai Rongyu closed his eyes, and with a slight thought, he indeed arrived at the bottom of the sunken star.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in the Dragon Palace once more.
She felt somewhat pleased.
Although most of the memories have not yet been recovered, this underwater sunken star is truly a treasure, allowing one to breathe freely and move unimpeded in the deep sea.
Just then, I heard voices coming from afar.
Zhai Rong and her companion darted behind a clump of coral.
"Today is His Majesty's birthday, and countless people from all corners of the world have come to pay their respects. You must be careful in your actions and not offend these important people."
"Yes."
It turned out to be a few palace maids talking.
A palace maid said, "Ever since His Majesty opened the Tide Temple, there have been people everywhere trying to curry favor with him. Our Dragon Palace is getting more and more lively."
"That's right, do you think just anyone can open the Tide Temple?"
"The former Dragon Prince searched for the Key to the Abyss and the Dragon Treasure, but he was unable to open the Tide Temple. However, as soon as His Majesty returned to the Dragon Palace, the Tide Temple opened on its own and directly recognized him as its master! This shows that His Majesty has a noble bloodline and profound cultivation."
"Shh... You dare mention the Flood Dragon Clan? Don't you have a death wish?"
The palace maids looked at each other, and one of the bolder ones continued, "What are you afraid of? His Majesty's slaughter of the dragon clan was only right."
"Exactly! Those dragons are utterly hateful!"
A palace maid said angrily, "Most of my people have been killed by them. The Jiaolong clan has harmed the entire East Sea for their own selfish interests. If Your Majesty does not get rid of them, I'm afraid other sea areas will also suffer."
"Exactly."
"If it weren't for Your Excellency's profound spiritual power, the dragon clan would have been even more rampant."
"If you ask me, His Majesty is truly formidable. Since he returned from the Crimson Abyss, there has been no one in this world who can defeat him."
Several young palace maids were gazing at each other with infatuation.
Flood dragon...
Suddenly, some images flashed into Zhai Rong's mind. Before she could capture them, she heard the palace maids continuing their gossip.
Do you know why His Majesty jumped into the Abyss of Demons?
"Why else?"
"To improve my cultivation level."
The palace maid shook her head and looked around mysteriously. "I heard... it's for a woman."
"A woman?" Everyone was surprised.
"His Majesty is the Dragon King, yet he has never been with a woman in over a decade. Would he really jump into the Abyss for a woman?"
Everyone doesn't believe it.
Zhai Rongyu was somewhat stunned by what he heard.
More than ten years...
It turns out that the scene she saw had happened a long time ago.
The palace maid said with a serious expression, "You must believe me."
"His Majesty is the Dragon King! His nature is what it is. If word got out that he is not interested in women, no one outside would believe it. Otherwise, why would everyone have brought so many beautiful women with them during this pilgrimage?"
"Isn't it all just to throw yourself into His Majesty's arms?"
Zhai Rongyu listened, inwardly grumbling.
Dragons are inherently promiscuous; she didn't believe the Dragon King wouldn't have women—he must be secretly keeping some!
Sure enough, one of the palace maids made the same guess.
"You are right."
"The last time I saw His Majesty standing outside the Divine Palace in a daze, his eyes were so gentle... I have never seen His Majesty with such an expression before."
The other palace maids were also surprised.
"Gentle? Are you sure you're not mistaken? His Majesty never even smiles normally, would he show that kind of expression?"
"Well... you must have seen it wrong."
The crowd couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"If she's not mistaken, then there must be something extraordinary hidden in the Divine Palace! Perhaps, it really is a woman!"
"Who knew... that was a forbidden area."
“In my opinion, it’s pretty much true,” a palace maid said. “His Majesty always stays at the Divine Palace for most of the day, and he even sets up a barrier outside to prevent people from entering. He even does the sweeping himself. For a dignified Dragon King to condescend like this, the treasures inside must be extraordinary.”
"If she were a woman, she would definitely be an extremely capable one, otherwise how could she have persuaded His Majesty to go to such lengths?"
Everyone agreed.
Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow.
What did she say? She must be keeping a mistress in a gilded cage!
The palace maids gradually walked away.
Zhai Rong emerged from behind the coral reef and saw a group of beautiful women gracefully making their way towards the Tide Temple.
She was inexplicably annoyed.
She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the hairpin in her hair. "That Dragon King kept a mistress in a golden house, and so many women are rushing to woo her. Is she really the owner of this Heart-Protecting Scale?"
The man she saw in the watery illusion was deeply affectionate and devoted, quite different from the Dragon King.
Zhai Rongyu shook her head.
"What kind of person is the Dragon King, and what does he have to do with me?"
She hadn't forgotten why she'd come to the Dragon Palace.
The woman on Wuwang Mountain looked so much like her; she always felt that the woman was related to her lost memories.
In short, she came seeking an answer.
I'd also like to ask why this hairpin ended up on her head.
Perhaps that woman is hiding in the Shenque Palace.
Zhai Rong mingled among the guests, swaggering through the Dragon Palace.
The women traveling with her glanced at her, whispered among themselves, and a beautiful Bei princess struck up a conversation with her.
"Hello, which company are you from?"
"Why have I never seen you at the bottom of the sea?"
Everyone looked at Zhai Rongyu, all of them astonished.
Such a beautiful woman, I wonder which power chose her to be presented to the Dragon King.
If she were to meet the Dragon King, what chance would they have left?
Zhai Rongyu pointed to herself, "Are you asking me?"
The Bei princess nodded.
Zhai Rongyu chuckled, "You've misunderstood, haven't you? I'm here to deliver a gift to the Dragon King from the mortal realm. I'll leave after I'm done."
"Why haven't you seen the Dragon King?" the Bei tribe princess asked in confusion.
"Why do you want to see me?" Zhai Rongyu asked in return.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
It's better not to see it.
Zhai Rongyu used the excuse of delivering a gift to slip away from the crowd.
After wandering through the Dragon Palace for a while, they unintentionally arrived at a sparsely populated palace.
She looked up at the plaque—Shenque Palace.
Such a coincidence?
She remembered the words "forbidden area" spoken by the palace maid, and for a moment she had a desire to have fun.
It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.
She then went to meet the Dragon King's beloved daughter to see who she really was.
Zhai Rongyu walked to the outside of Shenque Palace and then saw that there seemed to be a barrier outside the palace gate.
She tentatively poked it with her fingertip, and her slender index finger easily pierced through.
She paused for a moment, then waved her hand again, but the barrier was just for show; her entire arm passed right through it.
So easy?
Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow slightly, pushed open the gate of Shenque Palace, and walked in.
