The Demon Lord Forced to Marry the Female Leader
Chapter 231: Changes in the Dragon and Water Tribes
This time, Awen successfully returned to the Dragon Palace. The sea was sparkling, as if welcoming her return. She passed through the layers of coral palaces and finally arrived in front of the Dragon King's bedroom. The Dragon King sat on the throne, his face majestic and kind. When he saw Awen return safely, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
"Wen'er, you did a great job this time."
The Dragon King's voice was deep and powerful.
"You bravely evacuated the water tribe and demonstrated the bravery and wisdom of the dragon tribe."
Awen smiled slightly, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. It was rare for her father to praise her, and it seemed that he approved of and encouraged her actions.
The Dragon King waved his hand, and a group of beautiful maids immediately brought a pile of treasures. Magnificent jewelry, sparkling swords, colorful gems... Each one was priceless. However, Awen only took a glance and lost interest. In her heart, only the person on Penglai Fairy Island was the treasure she really wanted.
She told the Dragon King the truth about the discovery of the Shennong Ding, hoping to ask him how to deal with it. But out of selfishness, she hid the news about Penglai Island and Bai Hao. The Dragon King was overjoyed after hearing this, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Awen! You actually found the Shennong Ding! This is a legendary artifact! Its power is enough to change the entire world!"
Awen nodded, but she felt a little worried. She said:
"Father, although the power of Shennong Ding is great, it will cause unnecessary disputes and fights. Before us, there lived the mermaids here. They were refined into sea souls by traitors and then suffered backlash from humans, thus perishing. I hope you will think twice!"
The Dragon King laughed loudly and said to Awen:
"As long as we are strong enough, no one can bully us! Ah Wen! You really inspire me! Ever since I declared myself king, my territory has always been this big! Now that you have obtained the Shennong Ding, we can expand our territory!"
Awen was shocked after hearing this. She explained:
"Father! No! That will lead to slaughter! The result of all the people being killed is not what I want!"
The Dragon King looked serious and said to Awen:
"To always enjoy comfort is to fall! To be strong is the most important rule of survival! Whoever has the strongest fist is the king of this world! Now that we have the confidence, we should expand our territory and build a kingdom for our descendants!"
Awen's worries soon came true.
The Dragon King brought Awen to put pressure on the neighboring countries, forcing them to submit to him and regard him as the King of the Sea.
The aquatic tribes of the neighboring country are dissatisfied with his arrogant attitude. Since no one in the water can match you, I will ask the strongest person on the continent to punish you!
Soon, the water creatures from the neighboring country who held a grudge against the Dragon King disguised themselves and came to the land, spreading the news that the Dragon King had obtained the Shennong Ding. Humans soon took notice, but the mountains were high and the waters were far away. How could humans who could not swim compete with the powerful Dragon King?
The cultivators with low cultivation base were unable to compete with the Dragon King and consciously gave up the idea. However, after the former White Emperor learned the news, he felt that his cultivation base was the best on the continent and he would naturally meet the best in the sea!
Afterwards, Baidi sent a large army to fight for the Shennong Ding.
He and the Dragon King had a fierce battle. Their figures crossed, swords flashed, and it was hard to tell who would win. However, at the last moment, Baidi suddenly launched a fatal attack. Although the Dragon King fought hard, he was still seriously injured.
Seeing this, Awen immediately rushed forward to support. She was still young, and even with the help of Shennong Ding and Haihun, it was difficult for her to gain the upper hand.
The Dragon King used up his last bit of strength to protect Awen and help her escape to the deep sea.
In the deep sea, the dying Dragon King said to Awen:
"As a father, I regret not listening to you. I should have kept a low profile and become a powerful aquatic tribe. Now I am about to fall. You... are the new Dragon King... You must revive our cause... and..."
Before he could finish his words, the Dragon King died, leaving Awen alone crying in the deep sea.
This battle cost the dragon clan a huge price. Although the previous White Emperor won, the Dragon King was not someone to be trifled with. He was also seriously injured and was taken back by his descendants to recuperate.
Before the Dragon King died, he passed the throne to Awen, making her the new Dragon King. But what happened? The shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the sea were all killed by the Baidi army, leaving Awen alone hiding in the deep sea, not daring to show up rashly, for fear of being discovered by the Baidi's men.
Awen stood beside the body of the Dragon King on the seabed, tears blurring her eyes. She recalled the day when she brought the Shennong Ding back to the Dragon Palace, and her heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. She could not accept this cruel reality. She had lost her family, her home, and her former faith and hope.
After burying the Dragon King, Ah Wen wandered aimlessly in the sea in a daze, her heart filled with sadness and confusion. She didn't know where to go, nor how to go on the road ahead.
Her thoughts rose and fell like waves, sometimes recalling the happy times in the past, and sometimes falling into endless darkness.
She only vaguely heard the sound of the piano, avoided the search of humans, and followed the sound of the piano to the Penglai Island.
The sound of the piano was melodious and moving, like a mysterious power guiding her towards the light.
From afar, a pale blue figure was sitting there alone, playing the piano. The figure looked so lonely and helpless, as if isolated from the world.
Ah Wen's eyes were filled with tears. She flew closer to the figure carefully. When she saw the familiar yet strange face, her tears burst out. She threw herself into Bai Hao's arms and burst into tears. Her crying echoed in the silent night, as if it was tearing people's hearts apart.
The piano music stopped abruptly, and only the sound of Awen bursting into tears could be heard. Bai Hao was stunned. He didn't know what Awen had been through, but he could feel her sadness. He gently stroked Awen's hair, trying to comfort her.
In Bai Hao's embrace, Awen felt a warmth she had never felt before. She gradually stopped crying, and when she looked up at Bai Hao's caring eyes, a bitter feeling surged in her heart.
"Bai Hao, I have no home anymore..."
Awen said while choking.
Her voice was trembling and weak, as if it would disappear into the air at any time. Every word was like blood squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying endless pain and sorrow.
After hearing her words, Bai Hao felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if stabbed by an invisible sword.
"No home? What's going on?"
There was a hint of doubt and worry in Bai Hao's voice.
