The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

The treasure trove of the sea creatures was much larger than Luo Qingcheng had imagined.

On the shelves, all sorts of strange things were displayed.

The most common items are pearls of various shapes, colors, and sizes.

Next came parts of bizarre marine creatures, including plants and animals, all labeled with jade slips.

Li Zhiming, who had initially shown little interest, was suddenly captivated by these alchemy materials.

"There's actually someone who can refine the Illusionary Sea Lotus, which is almost extinct from the Illusionary Sea Tide! And there's also the Water Weakling, which only exists in legends! Could that be the Spirit Without Zhang recorded in ancient texts?!"

……

Before coming: Sigh, just going through the motions.

Upon arrival: I want them all, I want them all!

Hongdou was captivated by the pile of spirit stones casually placed in the corner, which also contained a large amount of gold and silver jewelry. The gold and silver jewelry from shipwrecks that mortals encountered at sea were collected by the sea people who liked to decorate their nests. After getting tired of the magnificent decoration style, they threw it all into the treasure vault like garbage.

Over the years, these gold and silver treasures have occupied a considerable area of ​​the treasury.

These are all things that Hongdou desperately wanted but could not obtain when she was in the mortal world!

She was held firmly in place and couldn't move!

In addition, there are all kinds of weapons, including knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, halberds, tridents, clubs, lances, cudgels, spears, and rakes—all eighteen kinds of weapons are available.

Many of the weapons emitted a seven-colored light, clearly indicating that they were precious magical artifacts.

Luo Qingcheng wanted to choose a sword, but as he walked back and forth, he couldn't make up his mind for some reason. Whenever he thought about just picking one up randomly, a guilty feeling of betrayal would rise in his heart.

She could only conclude that she was simply not meant to have these spiritual swords.

They had no choice but to continue exploring deeper into the treasure vault.

The treasure vault was of utmost importance, and at this moment, the sea god's family was observing the three people's actions through the water mirror that monitored the treasure vault.

It's not that they're afraid the sea creatures will take too much; the treasure trove is overflowing with treasures. But the emergence of the sea creatures means they'll be tied to these few people.

If they have flaws in their character, wouldn't that cause trouble for the sea creatures?

With so many lives at stake, it's impossible for a royal family to be overly careful.

The four sisters, whose bodies had been restored to their original state by a forbidden technique, huddled together in front of the water mirror.

Seeing Luo Qingcheng walking into the treasure vault in a cursory manner, he was very puzzled, "Where is she going?"

The second sister rolled her eyes. "Can't you tell? She's going inside."

"Listening to your words is like listening to your words."

The eldest sister, the heir, frowned and tentatively asked, "Father, is that what's inside?"

Poseidon nodded.

His smile was meaningful.

The fourth sister, who hadn't spoken for a long time because she was headless, was now desperately trying to speak, "Which one is that?"

Annoyed to no end, the third sister pushed her away, saying, "If we really let her get that, then it means we made the right choice."

The fourth sister persisted: "Which one is that?"

No one paid any attention to her.

Poseidon looked around for a while, and when she went further in, there was nothing else. But Luo Qingcheng didn't stop. Sensing something, she said with certainty, "She can get it."

"Father God, are you so sure?"

The more powerful the treasure, the more temperamental it is. If the compatibility is not good, even if Luo Qingcheng meets the criteria for obtaining it, she cannot force a contract with her current strength.

Based on her experience interacting with Luo Qingcheng, she was just an ordinary person.

Even before the Father God helped her repair her meridians, she was even more useless than ordinary cultivators.

Seemingly sensing his eldest daughter's thoughts, the Sea God blinked and asked with interest, "Shall we bet?"

The others were not surprised by this.

The second sister, who dared not speak ill of her father, finally found an opportunity: "Eldest sister, are you scared?"

"Which one is that?"

Nobody paid any attention to Fourth Sister.

The eldest sister gave her second sister a warning look, "The bet is that Father God will have to handle the affairs of the sea tribe by myself for a month."

It wasn't that she didn't want to say more; she was afraid that if she said too much, the sea god would renege on his promise.

Poseidon: "Deal!"

Fourth Sister: "So which one is it?"

Third Sister: "Shut up!"

Second sister: "I miss the fourth sister who used to be headless."

Third sister: "Shut up too!"

Yu Nu didn't know what that was either, and she was a bit far away, so she didn't dare to go over.

Watching her family playfully bickering, this scene before her eyes was one that had appeared in her dreams countless times before.

However, every time she opened her eyes, the disconnect between the happiness and beauty in her dreams and the cruel reality after waking up caused her unbearable pain.

She sank into a muddy, dark pool, and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank. Her azure pupils were covered by mud and turned into gloom. From then on, day was also night, and there was no more sunshine in the illusion.

but--

"Fifth Sister, what are you doing standing there? Aren't you coming over here?"

"What is Fifth Sister grinning about? She's acting all silly."

"Fifth Sister, who are you betting on to win?"

"Fifth Sister, don't you think they're going too far? They're ignoring me completely!"

Yu Nu, no, Hai Yu, from now on, she is no longer the "slave" of the Zhou family, nor is she forcing herself to mature and learn to call herself "I" like her father. She is simply herself.

The nightmare that had haunted me for over two hundred years has finally ended.

Facing the Father God's tolerant gaze, Haiyu finally revealed a smile as innocent and joyful as she had been two hundred years ago, and said, "I bet on the Father God to win."

"Place your order now!"

Everyone turned their attention back to the water mirror.

Luo Qingcheng has reached the end of the treasure vault.

A long, purple dragon-patterned wooden box hangs on the wall. Mysterious patterns are outlined on the box with green pearl powder, and upon closer inspection, it looks as if a vibrant wooden dragon is coiled around the box.

Luo Qingcheng felt the irresistible urging voice in her heart, which was desperately tempting her, and the thought "With me, you will be invincible" echoed in her mind.

Luo Qingcheng seemed to be tempted, his eyes fixed on the wooden box, meeting the gaze of the wooden dragon soaring on it. His large, clear black and white eyes were tinged with the deep green light reflected from the wooden dragon.

Until Mu Long couldn't help but blink.

Luo Qingcheng immediately said, "You lost!"

The wooden dragon couldn't keep up the act any longer. It leaped into the air, its green body semi-transparent, and glared, puffing out its beard and eyes: "We haven't even started the competition yet, how could I have lost?"

It is an extremely competitive spirit; if it admits defeat, it must become that person's weapon.

But it had heard someone say that humans don't cherish what they get easily, so it wouldn't give Luo Qingcheng that chance.

Luo Qingcheng rubbed his reddened eyes. "Isn't this a competition to see 'who can stare the longest'?"

Mu Long roared, "Of course not!"

Is she sick?

Luo Qingcheng gave a nonchalant "Oh".

"Then why did you summon me here?"

Mu Long felt frustrated; wasn't this a rhetorical question he already knew the answer to?

But even if it loses its head and bleeds, it cannot lose its dignity. It arrogantly replied, "This dragon is destined to be with you. Are you willing to sign a contract with this dragon?"

Luo Qingcheng instinctively asked warily, "What contract?"

She still remembered the master-servant contract that almost killed her.

The wooden dragon roared, "Of course it's an equal contract! Do you think you, a mere human, dare to claim mastery over me?!"
