Traveling Through Journey to the West: I Am the Dragon King

Although Yun Chonghua had just heard the cry of the falcon, he did not expect that it was the Golden-Winged Roc that came to eat him.

If it weren't for the Bodhi Patriarch using magic to conceal his aura, he would probably have died directly in the mouth of the Roc today.

Although Yun Chonghua did not become a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi during this trip, he still gained a great opportunity.

The Bodhi leaf bestowed upon him by the patriarch was also a rare treasure in this world.

Although these leaves are not as precious as peaches, ginseng fruits, pears, or jujubes, which take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to mature.

But it is also very rare.

The ancestor didn't bestow gifts upon just anyone.

This leaf not only helped him conceal his aura from being devoured by the roc, but also had the effect of prolonging his life and enhancing his magical power.

Just that one leaf can add a hundred years to one's lifespan and increase one's cultivation by a hundred years.

While immortals may not need it, it is an invaluable tonic for small spirits and monsters, as well as ordinary people with some cultivation.

After all, extending one's lifespan by a hundred years and increasing one's cultivation by a hundred years is a great opportunity for these insignificant people to ascend to immortality.

After leaving Xiniu Hezhou, Yun Chonghua returned to the sea, preparing to go back to the Chinese land of Nanzhanbuzhou.

However, he did not discover any blessings from the Bodhi Patriarch, but only felt that his magical power had increased considerably after walking under the ancient Bodhi tree.

Using the flying techniques taught by Nezha was also quite easy.

He can now even use spells such as spewing clouds, spitting mist, blowing wind, gathering thunder, and bringing rain properly.

Because he could fly, his journey was much easier and faster than when he was on foot. In just one or two days, he arrived in the territory of Nanzhanbuzhou from Xiniuhezhou.

However, the Xiang River is inland, and if it were to take off, it might disturb the common people.

To avoid disturbing the people, he retreated back into the water and swam into the river from its estuary, intending to return to the Xiang River via the river.

On this day, Chonghua was traveling in Danyang County when he suddenly felt a faint pain in the dragon's tail.

He turned his tail around to look at it; the flesh wounds had already healed back in the Cloud Tower Palace.

However, the pain was very clear, as if it had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"What exactly is going on?" Yun Chonghua wondered to himself.

After carefully feeling it, he finally understood where the pain came from.

"Dragon scales! This feeling is just like when the Seventh Princess plucked my scales. Could this be a 'sensory connection'? Are my dragon scales nearby?"

Although Yun Chonghua was puzzled, he still carefully sensed the source of the pain and soon discovered the location from which it was coming.

Then, following this feeling that was like "resonance," they swam in that direction.

Danyang County is located on the left bank of the Yangtze River, and the people there mostly eat rice. The county is dotted with streams and canals. Chonghua swam along these streams and heard a young couple singing on the other bank.

"That voice sounds so familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before."

As Yun Chonghua pondered underwater, he heard a song coming from the shore: "The birds in the trees are in pairs."

But the male voice sang again: "Green waters and verdant mountains bring smiles."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chonghua already knew who the newcomer was before he even peeked out to check.

He thought to himself, "Heh, no wonder that heavenly voice sounded so familiar. It was her! The Seventh Princess was in such a hurry earlier. It seems she was eager to descend to the mortal realm to meet her lover in secret. Unfortunately, the three of us saw her, and fearing that her affair would be exposed, she refused to help her."

He quietly poked his head out of the water and watched the two people walking on the stone bridge in the field.

Although Dong Yong was dressed in plain clothes, the dragon scale armor he wore underneath was made from Yun Chonghua's tail scales.

Although it was hidden inside the clothes and could not be seen, Yun Chonghua could clearly sense it.

The closer they got, the stronger the sensation became. The stinging pain returned, spreading throughout their bodies from their tails.

Yun Chonghua was enduring the pain in the water when he heard a song being sung on the shore: "From now on, we will no longer suffer the bitterness of slavery, and husband and wife will return home together. You will till the fields and I will weave cloth, I will fetch water and you will water the garden."

In his past life, Yun Chonghua would surely have been moved by this beautiful singing, and touched by the love story of the Seventh Fairy and Dong Yong.

But now, as he endures the pain, the singing sounds extremely jarring.

When they reached Yun Chonghua's vicinity, Dong Yong said, "My wife, if it weren't for your family's soft armor, I would have almost fallen victim to that villain."

The seventh fairy replied, "My lord, you need not worry about it. It is a blessing for you to wear this dragon scale armor, and it is also a merit of yours to save your life."

Looking at his bald patch on his tail, Yun Chonghua thought, "What a 'blessing' and what a 'merit'! So easy to talk about being generous with other people's money. Your sweet love is built on my suffering! You stood by me in my deathbed, plucked my scales, and that was one thing, but now that you've benefited from my kindness, you don't even appreciate it, and instead utter these callous words! Truly despicable! This is absolutely intolerable!"

At that moment, a surge of anger rose in Yun Chonghua's heart, but this anger did not destroy his reason. Although he wanted to take revenge on the spot, he was also wary of the power of the Seventh Princess of the Heavenly Court.

He pondered for a moment: "Among the knowledge Nezha imparted to me, it was mentioned that all registered deities in Heaven possess immortal aura. Unless they deliberately conceal it, it's easy for Heaven to detect if they want to conduct inspections. The fact that we can't detect her immortal aura now means she must have concealed it herself."

"In other words, she is now no different from a mortal. If she dares to fight me, her celestial aura will be released, which may attract the attention of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court will absolutely not tolerate the Seventh Princess's affair with a mortal."

"So now, even if I beat her up, she wouldn't dare fight back. She'd just have to swallow her anger. With mortal strength, she's no match for me, and if I used my immortal power, the Heavenly Court would notice."

Thinking of this, Yun Chonghua exclaimed, "What a stroke of luck!" He immediately made up his mind to teach this "little fairy" who loved to make sarcastic remarks a lesson.

Yun Chonghua certainly didn't think he could kill the Heavenly Princess.

After all, the Seventh Princess possessed a celestial body, making her much "harder" than others.

Besides, even if you beat her to death, even if the underworld had eight times the courage, it wouldn't dare to come and take her soul.

But you can still use a few spells to hit her a couple of times to vent your anger.

If she insists on not resisting, then she'll have to taste the flaming whip in my hand.

If we miss today's opportunity, it will probably be a long time before we can teach this little fairy a lesson.

"That's right! Opportunities are fleeting! If I don't give you a good beating to vent my anger, I'm not a dragon, I'm a coward! I'll be anything, but I absolutely cannot be a 'turtle'!"

Having made up his mind, Yun Chonghua suddenly leaped out of the water, and a thunderclap immediately condensed in his mouth.

The Seventh Princess was still immersed in her sweet love with Dong Yong and her future married life. She was oblivious to the situation.

She didn't even realize that the thunderbolt in Yun Chonghua's mouth had already taken shape.

Then, Yun Chonghua seized the opportunity and unleashed the thunderbolt towards the Seventh Princess!
