“That is naturally because of Mr. He’s help; only then could I relax so much. Speaking of which, I owe a lot to Mr. He. It turns out that sitting down and enjoying oneself peacefully is so pleasant.”
Ao Luoxi said this, looking up at He Xiuyuan in front of her, her eyes full of admiration.
The first time she saw He Xiuyuan, she saw him carrying a full load of things. At that time, she only thought He Xiuyuan was a strange person.
But now that she had calmed down, she could finally grasp a hint of He Xiuyuan’s feelings. It turned out that the feeling of calming down like this was… “How did it go?!”
Looking at Ao Qing returning, Qing Xuan asked anxiously.
Because she was worried that if He Xiuyuan discovered her eavesdropping, it would displease him, she had been holding back and didn’t dare to eavesdrop, waiting only for Ao Qing to return.
Now that Ao Qing was back, she immediately asked, wanting to know how their conversation went.
Hearing this, Ao Qing shook his head helplessly, “Little Friend He said that he managed to do this method with a trace of Qi. Now that this Qi is gone, he can no longer help.”
“What? How could this be?”
Qing Xuan was stunned upon hearing this, and then her gaze became somewhat lost.
“Little Friend He only had this one trace of Qi on him. Once used, it’s gone. Therefore, there’s nothing that can be done for the remaining child in my family either.”
Ao Qing said this, sighing softly, a helpless expression on his face.
Hearing this, Qing Xuan’s body swayed involuntarily, her face looking somewhat lost.
Only a trace of Qi power? Doesn’t that mean if she had come out earlier in Huo Yun County, she could have learned the Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation Technique first, without having to worry about the heavenly lightning?
Qing Xuan thought this, her face becoming incredibly complex.
Ao Qing watched Qing Xuan from the side, not knowing what she was thinking, but seeing her pale face, he couldn’t help but sigh.
He knew the importance of the Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation Technique to her.
Even now, if Qing Xuan still couldn't learn the Cloud Manipulation and Rain Invocation Technique, it wouldn’t be long before heavenly lightning would strike. At that time, whether Qing Xuan could survive was truly hard to say.
The Dragon Palace longevity banquet lasted for three days in total.
During these three days, various delicacies were continuously served in the Dragon Palace, along with fine wines and the dances and songs of various mermaids, which greatly broadened He Xiuyuan’s horizons.
After the three days passed, Ao Qing prepared to leave with He Xiuyuan.
When the East Sea Dragon King learned that He Xiuyuan was leaving, he also hurried out to bid him farewell.
To be fair, this was the first time the East Sea Dragon King had come to see He Xiuyuan. Before, it was mainly because He Xiuyuan disliked being frequently disturbed, which was why he hadn't come to bother him.
“Mr. He, I, this old Dragon, will never forget the Medicinal Pill you gave me previously.”
The East Sea Dragon King looked at He Xiuyuan in front of him and thanked him.
He Xiuyuan looked somewhat astonished upon hearing this, probably because the East Sea Dragon King was clearly a handsome, middle-aged man, yet he referred to himself as an old Dragon.
The East Sea Dragon King probably noticed He Xiuyuan’s surprise and laughed heartily, “Does Mr. think I’m not particularly old because of my youthful appearance?”
Saying this, he also chuckled softly and continued on his own, “Our Dragon Clan has a very long lifespan, but our bodies grow very slowly. If you only look at our appearance, it’s very difficult to discern our age.”
He Xiuyuan nodded in sudden realization, “So that’s how it is.”
“There’s no need for the Dragon King to thank me so much for the Medicinal Pill. Since I came to attend the East Sea Dragon King’s longevity banquet, how could I not bring a small gift? Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to enjoy the delicious dishes and delicacies of these three days so freely.”
The East Sea Dragon King immediately burst into laughter upon hearing this, “It’s good that Mr. enjoyed the meal. I was still worried that there might be some aspects of the hospitality that were not up to par.”
“If Mr. is willing, how about I invite Mr. to any other banquets I, this old Dragon, hold in the future?”
The other Dragon Kings twitched their mouths slightly upon hearing this. Is this really a banquet you’re holding? Aren’t you just eyeing his Medicinal Pill!
A single Medicinal Pill that could increase one’s Dao cultivation by several years might not have much effect on them, but for their children, this was a good thing that could save them many years of arduous cultivation!
Therefore, the young Dragons nearby also showed envy upon hearing this.
Seeing this, the other Dragon Kings exchanged glances and then stepped forward one after another, extending invitations.
“If Mr. likes it, the delicacies at my West Sea Dragon Palace will certainly not disappoint Mr. My West Sea covers an icy land, and the fresh fish there has a unique flavor that will surely satisfy Mr.!”
“Mr. He, my South Sea region is extremely rich, and its rare delicacies are even more unique. If Mr. doesn't mind, you can come with me.”
At this moment, several Dragon Kings were anxious and quickly extended invitations.
Seeing the others trying to compete with them, they even glared at each other.
Ao Qing’s mouth twitched slightly as he watched this scene, “Alright, alright. If you all keep this up, Little Friend He won’t have anything of his own to do. He’ll just be a guest at all your places.”
These fellows, they hadn’t shown any enthusiasm for He Xiuyuan before, but now that they saw He Xiuyuan’s abilities, they all became so enthusiastic.
He Xiuyuan, seeing the Dragon Kings’ enthusiastic demeanor at this moment, cupped his hands and said, “I do have some important matters to attend to, so I’m afraid I won’t have time to visit your Dragon Palaces as a guest.”
He Xiuyuan looked apologetic.
He was still somewhat anxious as he hadn’t yet found a way to repair the Great Dao.
Such matters of eating and drinking could provide occasional relaxation, but if one indulged in them, it would absolutely not do.
Saying this, He Xiuyuan cupped his hands towards the Dragon Kings, and then left with Ao Qing.
Upon seeing this, the Dragon Kings couldn’t help but show some regret and helplessness. Such an Expert, what a pity they couldn’t further their relationship with him. Otherwise, it would surely be of great benefit to them in the future, wouldn’t it?
Perhaps, in the future, their children could ask him for more guidance, what a pity… Thinking of this, they all sighed inwardly, secretly feeling regretful.
Meanwhile, Qing Xuan, standing not far away, had been watching this side. After a long hesitation, she still didn't dare to go up and talk to He Xiuyuan about the matter in Huo Yun County at the last moment.
After all, at that time, it was indeed she who ignored He Xiuyuan and didn't show up to meet him. In such circumstances, if she were to actively bring up her name to He Xiuyuan now, she didn't know what the outcome would be.
Seeing He Xiuyuan leave at this moment, Qing Xuan watched for a long time before finally letting out a soft sigh.
