Ch599 - Asshole Dragon Emperor

Four hours later, when Liu Xuan appeared in the competition registration hall on the second floor, he was now a ninth-level alchemist.

Qu Yang looked around but didn’t see his Fifth Elder Brother. He led Liu Xuan over to his own Martial Nephew, Cao En. “Martial Nephew Cao, register His Highness for the competition.”

“Tenth Uncle, there are rules here. Alchemists who don’t have an alchemist identity badge can’t participate in the competition.” Cao En looked at his Martial Uncle and said, “This is a rule set by my Master. I can’t let you go through the back door.”

“This is my alchemist identity badge. I just got it.” With that, Liu Xuan pulled out his medallion and placed it on the registration desk.

“Uh… uh…” Cao En stared at the ninth-level alchemist identity badge and was struck speechless. The other disciples who were also registering people were equally shocked. The audience of people who had come to register were also struck speechless.Could it be that he had actually passed the test so quickly?

“Ah, okay, okay, I’ll register you.” After a long moment of staring blankly, Cao En pulled out a jade slip and used his soul power to add Liu Xuan’s name to the list of competitors in the ninth-level alchemist competition.

“This is the registration fee.” With that, Liu Xuan handed over the required immortal crystals, took back his ninth-level identity badge, and then left with Qu Yang and the others.

As soon as the group left, the crowd of more than three hundred people exploded into a commotion.

“I can’t believe that kid actually got his ninth-level alchemist identity badge so soon.”

“Is it fake?”

“How could it be? Elder Qu is the Law Enforcement Elder of the Alchemy Domain. How could he allow people to cheat?”

“En, that’s true.”

“I never thought that the kid from the Dragon Clan would become a ninth-level alchemist so quickly.”

“That’s right! Looks like he’s pretty good after all.”

“Are you kidding me? If he wasn’t good, would the Dragon Emperor have taken him as his Grandson?”

“xTLI, dILd’A diUT.”

Although the Alchemy Emperor had many disciples, only the first ten of them were favored. The other disciples didn’t have the right to attend such an important banquet. Of the ten favored disciples, seven of them had cultivation bases that were Immortal Emperors and were the Lords of the seven great cities of the Alchemy Domain. Generally speaking, they didn’t come to Alchemy City unless there was some important matter to attend to.

The Ninth Junior Brother was the Lord of Alchemy City, the Tenth Junior Brother was in charge of the laws of the Alchemy Domain and foreign affairs, and the Fifth Junior Brother was in charge of the economy. That was why they were always present in Alchemy City.

“Hey, you old eel, you’re getting more and more pretentious every day. Finally willing to show your face?” Long Xingtian said with a frown.

“Heh heh. Fellow Immortal Long, don’t take it so hard. I heard that you and Fellow Immortal Qing were coming, so I went ahead and refined some medicinal pills for you. Fellow Immortal Qing’s cultivation base is still new as an Immortal Emperor. You need to stabilize it.

Here are ten Imperial Primordial Pills. Please take them as a gift.” Laughing, the Alchemy Emperor produced a crystal box and handed over ten level-11 medicinal pills.

Hearing that, the Dragon Emperor raised an eyebrow. “Now that’s more like it.” He took the medicinal pills and then handed them to his wife. “Chen’er,what do you think of these?”

“Many thanks for the generous gift, Alchemy Emperor.” With that, Qing Chen bowed his head in thanks to the Alchemy Emperor and then accepted the medicinal pills to examine them.

“Please don’t mention it, Fellow Immortal Qing.” The Alchemy Emperor said with a smile.

The fact that the Alchemy Emperor had given up ten level-11 medicinal pills was a huge sacrifice. However, he really had no other choice. Although the Dragon Emperor and the Alchemy Emperor were both Immortal Emperors, one was in the late stage of the Immortal Emperor, and the other was at the peak. The difference between them was huge. Even if other Immortal Emperors were more powerful than the Alchemy Emperor, they would still treat an almighty alchemist with respect. However, the Dragon Emperor was a different story.

The truth was that the Dragon Emperor was a scourge on the Upper Heavenly Domain. He was a real piece of work. If you dared to provoke him, you could forget about being left alone. He would challenge you to fight and beat you up. That would be the best-case scenario.

If he didn’t do that, he would go to your house and take whatever he took fancy to as he destroyed everything in sight. He would pick out the most luxurious buildings to destroy and then sleep with your women, picking out the ones you cared about most. If that didn’t work, he would take your Sons and Daughters and beat them up one by one. After beating them up, if he wasn’t satisfied, he would hang them from the city gates as a form of humiliation.

In other words, there was nothing that the Dragon Emperor wouldn’t do. He was more of a bandit than a bandit and more of a tyrant than a tyrant. He was a real piece of shit, but he was also the most powerful Immortal Emperor in the Upper Heavenly Domain. He was someone who couldn’t be beaten in a fight and who couldn’t be placated with words. As soon as you saw him, whether you were an Immortal Emperor or not, all you could think was,“Damn, this guy is an asshole!”

It was precisely because of how powerful and despicable the Dragon Emperor was that the other twenty-odd Immortal Emperors in the Upper Heavenly Domain feared Long Xingtian. The only one who wasn’t afraid of him was the Phoenix Emperor, whose power was on par with the Dragon Emperor.

After putting away the medicinal pill, Qing Chen produced a brocade box. Inside of it were two golden fruits. “Alchemy Emperor, these are Golden Jade Glass fruits. Please accept them as a small token of my respect.”

The Alchemy Emperor smiled at the immortal fruit that had been delivered to him. “Fellow Immortal Qing, you’re too kind. This fruit is very precious. Why don’t you take it back?”

Like I’d dare take anything from the Dragon Emperor!He thought. “Wifey, if he doesn’t want it, then don’t give it to him.” The Dragon Emperor immediately spoke up.

Qing Chen gave the Dragon Emperor a helpless look and smiled at the Alchemy Emperor. “Alchemy Emperor, please don’t be so formal. We’ll be staying at your manor for a few days. We’ll be causing you a lot of trouble, so please take care of us.”

“Of course, of course. It’s always Fellow Immortal Long taking care of me.” The Alchemy Emperor smiled politely.

“Did you hear that? I’m the one taking care of him. We’re staying at his place, so we’re doing him a favor. You don’t need to be so polite with him.” Long Xingtian said ingratiatingly as he looked at his wife.

Qing Chen shot Long Xingtian a sidelong glance and couldn’t help but roll his eyes.Why do you talk so much?

“Oh, I won’t say anything if you don’t want me to.” Long Xingtian frowned and blinked pitifully.

Watching this guy whine like a cute puppy in front of his wife, the corners of the Alchemy Emperor’s mouth twitched wildly.This really is true: Every man has his match! This bastard of an Emperor has finally met his match! Truly, the heavens have opened their eyes! How hard it must have been to find someone like that!

Ignoring Long Xingtian, Qing Chen turned to Qu Yang, who was sitting off to the side.

“Junior Qu Yang has been taking Xuanxuan around all afternoon to check his identity badge and register for the competition. Thank you for your hard work.”

“No need to thank me, Dragon Empress. It’s what I should do.” Qu Yang lowered his head and said politely.

“He—he’s a Junior!” The Dragon Emperor reached out and tugged on his wife’s sleeve. His meaning was clear:Qu Yang was doing what he should be doing, so there was no need to be polite with him.

Qing Chen was upset. He knew that Long Xingtian was a powerful expert in the Upper Heavenly Domain. Other than the Phoenix Emperor, there were very few Immortal Emperors who could defeat him. Once, three Immortal Emperors had joined forces against Long Xingtian and were still defeated. It could be said that Long Xingtian was a powerful force in the Upper Heavenly Domain. However, sometimes, it wasn’t enough to rely solely on one’s strength. One also had to know how to interact with others. If he kept bullying the other Immortal Emperors and treating them like his servants, sooner or later, he would provoke public outrage.

“Chen’er…” Seeing his wife looking unhappy, the Dragon Emperor cautiously called out to him. When the other party ignored him, he quickly shot a glance at Liu Xuan.

Receiving the Dragon Emperor’s signal, Liu Xuan helplessly rubbed his nose. With a wave of his sleeve, a red peony appeared before him and floated through the air to land in front of Qing Chen.

When Qing Chen looked up, he saw a red peony appear before him. He reached out to catch it, but the floating peony suddenly transformed into Liu Xuan’s smiling face. Then, red peonies bloomed all over the Great Hall. On each petal of each flower was an image of a python beating up a little golden dragon. The little golden dragon covered its head and cried pitifully, “Wifey, I was wrong! Wifey, I was wrong!”

“Pfft!” Qing Chen couldn’t help but laugh at this sight.

“Chen’er.” Long Xingtian carefully took his wife’s hand as he grinned.

Qing Chen shot him a glare, but this time he didn’t shake him off. He turned to look at Liu Xuan, somewhat exasperated. “Xuanxuan, you’re being ridiculous again.”

“Grandpa Qing.” Liu Xuan smiled and gestured for Xiaoyue to stop the illusion. The scene of the flowers and fresh air slowly faded away.

“Aiya, the Imperial Grandson’s beast is quite impressive. This illusion was so realistic.” Li He looked disdainfully at the red fox on Liu Xuan’s shoulder.This Liu Xuan really will do anything to please the Dragon Empress,he thought. He even used an illusion to win him over.

“Beast? What are you talking about? That’s my Grandson-in-Law!” Long Xingtian rolled his eyes at Li He.

“Oh, is that so? I misunderstood.” Li He forced a smile in the face of Long Xingtian’s glare.This Liu Xuan is really something!he thought. He’s a human who joined the Dragon Clan and even took a fox wife.

“Junior Liu Xuan, your pill refining skills are quite impressive. Would you be interested in joining my Alchemy Master Association?” Elder He, the Third Junior Brother of the Alchemy Emperor and the one who had tested Liu Xuan’s pill refining skills, asked.
