The grass in the factory should be plucked

With the auspicious day set, Jiang Li returned to the Prince's residence.

This year, she, Xie Chang'an, and their four children will not be able to spend the New Year at home, and she needs to inform Aunt Lian and Liao Wuyong.

Aunt Lian and Liao Wuyong were extremely anxious when they heard that Xie Chang'an was seriously injured.

Upon seeing Jiang Li return to the manor, Aunt Lian hurriedly grabbed her: "Miss, you're finally back! How is the young master?"

Liao Wuyong was also very anxious: "How are Chang'an's injuries? Where is he recuperating now?"

Jiang Li dismissed those around her and whispered, "He's in my personal cave dwelling."

Now that things had come to this, she no longer hid it from them and told them in detail about her and Xie Chang'an's background.

Of course, she didn't tell Aunt Lian that she had been reincarnated in another's body. She only said that she and Xie Chang'an were both people from the upper realm who had been reincarnated and had come to the lower realm to experience life.

Aunt Lian was both shocked and delighted. The young lady and her husband were indeed celestial beings descended to earth!

Liao Wuyong was also surprised. No wonder the two of them had so many unpredictable abilities, and even all living beings in the world obeyed their orders. It turned out that they were people from the immortal realm who had come down to the mortal world for training!

Jiang Li did not tell them that once Xie Chang'an's seal was broken, they might have to return to the Upper Realm.

She didn't know if the Great Chu Dynasty, her family, and friends would continue to exist after they left this small world.

The thought that she would soon be separated from these two elders who had cared for and cherished her, and that they would never see each other again, made Jiang Li's eyes redden.

She hugged Aunt Lian affectionately, "Aunt, we can't celebrate the New Year with you and Father this year."

"Why?" Aunt Lian asked in surprise.

Wasn't that demon locked up by the son-in-law? What other urgent business is there that requires him to go on official business during the New Year?

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Didn't Auntie see the strange phenomenon in the sky the other day?"

Aunt Lian clapped her hands: "That's right, I was just about to ask you, what exactly happened that day when half of the light was red and the other half was dark clouds?"

Liao Wuyong also asked in surprise, "The heavens have displayed unusual phenomena, and His Majesty has designated that day as the Dragon God's birthday. Could it be that..."

Jiang Li laughed and said, "That's right, our East Sea Dragon King has finally hatched! The whole world is celebrating, and thus the heavens have shown an auspicious sign."

Aunt Lian and Liao Wuyong were taken aback.

The Dragon King hatches from its shell, and the whole world rejoices?

So, the Dragon King of the East Sea was an egg all along?!

"That's right. All the ancient dragons are dead. Ao Ming is the last true dragon in this place. When I met him, he was still an egg."

After being incubated for so long by the dragon, the fire python, and the Five Elements Formation, it has finally hatched. It was such a difficult time!

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Dragon King of the East Sea officially ascended the throne and conferred titles upon the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. My companions, Inseparable and Carefree, went to witness the ceremony."

How should the enthronement ceremony of the Dragon King of the East Sea be conducted in a sacred and solemn manner?

Aunt Lian and Liao Wuyong were both filled with longing, only regretting that they were just ordinary mortals with mortal bodies and could not participate in such a grand event of the immortals.

"Very well, such a grand event is one you should attend. You may go now, do not worry about home."

Liao Wuyong smiled and said, "Once you're all done with your work and Chang'an is feeling better, we'll have a family reunion dinner together."

Jiang Li, concerned about Xie Chang'an in the Dragon Palace, urged the two elders to take care of themselves before hurriedly leaving.

New Year's Day.

On the shores of the East China Sea, the coastline stretches for thousands of miles like a silver ribbon, and the most famous Dragon God Temple is bathed in the morning light.

Early in the morning, the square in front of the temple was already packed with people. Dressed in new clothes and holding incense and candles, the people respectfully placed various offerings on the altar and devoutly worshipped the Dragon God, praying for the protection of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas for peace in the seas and a bountiful catch.

In the imperial city, thousands of miles away, the Temple of Heaven was decorated in a solemn and dignified manner.

Dressed in the imperial robes, Nangong Qinghe slowly walked up to the Temple of Heaven, surrounded by civil and military officials.

He walked to the sacrificial stone in the center of the Temple of Heaven, lit incense and candles, and inserted them into the incense burner.

After bowing deeply and kowtowing three times, Nangong Qinghe unfolded the sacrificial text and read it aloud:

"Ao Ming, the Dragon King of the East Sea, has been ordained by Heaven to ascend the throne, to govern the four seas, and to protect all living beings. I, the Emperor, respectfully lead all the people in offering sacrifices to the Dragon God at the Altar of Heaven, praying for peace throughout the four seas, prosperity and tranquility for the nation, and for the eternal continuation of the dynasty—"

Meanwhile, deep in the East China Sea, the Dragon King's coronation ceremony was being solemnly held.

The towering coral reefs, like rosy clouds rising from the sky, support a glazed golden palace.

At this moment, in the Wanlong Square in front of the Golden Hall, the aquatic creatures of the Four Seas are arranged in order of their clan hierarchy:

The Pearl of the Mermaid King stood at the front, followed by the Flood Dragon, the Fire Python, and the Fish Dragon, with sea creatures of all sizes and shapes following behind.

Jiang Li, along with Xie Buli, Xie Buqi, Xie Wuyou, and Xie Wuchou, sat in the VIP section.

As the auspicious hour approached, three whale roars reverberated across the seabed, and the Rising Dragon Platform in the center of Wanlong Square suddenly cracked open, with a gushing spring shooting into the sky, carrying colorful coral and luminous sand, which condensed in mid-air to form a crystal arch bridge.

At the end of the bridge, a miniature green dragon, head held high, swam forward.

Behind him followed eight merman officials, all dressed in silver-scaled robes, holding jade tablets, their steps steady.

Although the sea creatures were shocked that the Dragon King was so "miniature", their innate bloodline suppression forced them to admit that he was an ancient dragon with an extremely pure bloodline!

The sea creatures all prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting in unison, "Welcome, Your Majesty the Dragon King!"

Egg, looking very proud, ascended the golden palace and sat down on the high throne.

"Ao Ming, the thirty-sixth Dragon Lord of the East Sea Dragon Clan, inherits the Dragon Throne by divine mandate—"

The master of ceremonies' voice pierced through the layers of water, spreading to every secret place in the East China Sea.

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve dragon pillars surrounding the Dragon Ascension Platform suddenly burst forth with golden light, transforming into twelve golden dragons that spiraled into the sky.

The golden dragon phantom in the center, with its claws supporting a dark black dragon seal, has the four ancient seal characters "Donghai Zhenyuan" engraved on its surface, hovering above the golden hall.

Suddenly, a rainbow of light descended from the sky, piercing through the barrier of the deep sea and landing on the little azure dragon on the throne.

In the glow of the sunset, the faint silhouette of an ancient dragon god could be seen, its head bowed, as if acknowledging the new East Sea Dragon King.

Egg's dragon might suddenly surged, and the dragon seal slowly descended from the sky, steadily resting on his dragon claw.

The Dragon Seal felt cold to the touch, yet it contained boundless power. He could clearly feel the pulse of every inch of the East Sea and the breath of every living creature. This was the bloodline bond passed down through the dragon race for thousands of years, and also the unique power of control possessed by the Dragon King of the East Sea.

Egg raised the dragon seal and proclaimed, "Today I ascend the throne, and I am willing to work with all races to safeguard the peace of the four seas. As the dragon race, I will join hands to fight against natural disasters and drive away chaos, so that the four seas will never be at war again and all living beings will enjoy eternal peace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient seal script "Donghai Zhenyuan" on the dragon seal shone brightly, and the twelve golden dragons let out a deafening roar. The tides of the East Sea surged together, as if celebrating the new king's ascension to the throne.

All races knelt once more, their voices even louder than before: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Next, Egg began to bestow titles upon the four Dragon Kings of the Seas:

"Now that the throne of the East Sea has been established, and the tides of the four seas await their ruler, I, in accordance with Heaven and the people, hereby issue this edict to enfeoff the four seas in order to bring peace to the world."

The dragon was appointed as the Dragon King of the South Sea, the fire python as the Dragon King of the West Sea, and the fish dragon as the Dragon King of the North Sea. All the dragons were ordered to abide by the heavenly rules, respect and help each other, so as to bring peace to the four seas and happiness to all people.

This decree proclaims to the Three Realms: From this day forth, the four dragons shall each rule a region, jointly controlling the veins of the four seas, living as long as Heaven and Earth, and shining as brightly as the sun and moon. Humans and gods alike shall jointly safeguard peace, and the four seas shall forever be tranquil.
