The whole family is insanely eavesdropping on my thoughts Chapter 555
Chapter 555: Father, Run Away!
“Father, why must you insist on tying me to that tyrannical Phoenix Princess when I have no feelings for her? My heart belongs to A-Wu. In this life, I will only acknowledge her as my wife.”
“Marrying her was never my choice! The elders of the clan knelt before me, begging and forcing me into it!” Zhu Mo grew irritated at the mere thought of the Phoenix Princess.
“Was it not you who nodded in agreement back then?” The Dragon King glared at him.
Zhu Mo pursed his lips, unable to respond.
“Since that’s the case, let her be the Crown Princess of the Dragon Clan. Meanwhile, I will live a blissful life with A-Wu in the mortal realm.”
“Besides, she has an endless lifespan, while A-Wu only has a hundred years.”
The Dragon King pointed at him, his finger trembling with rage. “So you’re keeping a wife at home while having a mistress outside? Do you think the Phoenix Princess is someone who will obediently stay put? If you offend her, you won’t even know how you die!”
Zhu Mo shamelessly grinned and carelessly retorted, “Father, no flower at home can ever compare to a wild one outside. Am I right?”
“If there is retribution, let it come to me!”
“I wrote her a divorce letter, yet she refuses to accept it! The Phoenix Clan’s sacred treasure has already been used, and we cannot return it! If she wants to wait in the Dragon Clan, then let her wait.”
“She can have the title of Crown Princess. She can be the wife in name.”
“But no matter what, I will never love her. Not in this lifetime! Even in death, it is impossible!”
Zhu Mo waved his hand dismissively. A-Wu was waiting for him at home.
“Good thing that old woman from the Phoenix Clan didn’t come herself. Otherwise, there would have been a battle today. I still have grand plans to fulfill…”
The Dragon King was so furious that his vision darkened.
“You haven’t even lifted her veil! How do you know she is old? The Phoenix Princess is a rare beauty! Pairing her with you is like placing a delicate flower on a pile of dung!”
“No, no, no! This pile of dung already has a flower!” Zhu Mo smirked smugly.
“Enough! Go back to the Dragon Cave, Father! If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to later…”
The Dragon King was puzzled. “Why wouldn’t I be able to leave?”
“By the way, what exactly are you doing outside? The Dragon Clan needs you to return and inherit your responsibilities. If you truly like that wildflower, then bring her back. Let her be a concubine. It’s only a hundred years. The Phoenix Princess will not mind.”
Zhu Mo panicked. “Father, A-Wu will never be a concubine!”
“Stop asking questions. Your son is accomplishing great things. Father, just you wait! One day, I will make you proud!” Zhu Mo clenched his right fist, motivating himself.
“I will bring honor to the Dragon Clan! I will make you proud!”
The Dragon King was skeptical but relieved. At least his son was now focused on something other than romance. He could relax a little.
“You have this ambition? That makes me happy.”
“Don’t worry! Right now, people call me the little prince of the Dragon Clan.”
“But in the future, they will say, ‘That is Zhu Mo’s father!’ I will make you proud!” Zhu Mo patted his father on the shoulder.
“Father, once you’re done here, return home quickly. No, go back now! The sooner, the better. And be sure to reinforce the clan’s protective barrier!” The Dragon Clan was renowned for its sturdy defenses.
With that, Zhu Mo slipped into the crowd and vanished.
The turtle elder, carrying his shell, watched with gratification. “Our little prince has finally grown up. He’s even working on great endeavors.”
“Back then, he only yearned for mortal romance, constantly saying ‘I’d rather be a loving couple than an immortal.’ I feared he would be ruined by a woman.”
“Thank goodness. Although he spent a thousand years imprisoned in the Celestial Prison, he has matured significantly.”
“The rise of our Dragon Clan may not be far.”
“I do wonder what great venture he is working on? I’m rather curious.”
The Dragon King nodded, his mood brightening. He too was curious. What kind of enterprise could shake the Three Realms?
Could it be that his son was planning to capture Lu Chao Chao?
With his meager cultivation, he would be lucky to serve as her mount. But if he took action, Han Chuan Celestial Sovereign might grant him military merits on behalf of the Dragon Clan.
“As his father, I should support him. I will go see Han Chuan and make an appearance,” the Dragon King declared as he strode forward.
The turtle elder followed. “Didn’t the young prince tell you to return early? He seemed quite serious about it.”
The Dragon King waved his hand dismissively.
“I am old. There isn’t much more I can do for him.”
“If I must sacrifice my pride to earn him a favor, then so be it.”
Meanwhile, Zhu Mo and Windchaser hid in a secluded corner, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. They had previously scouted the Celestial Prison, hoping to stage a jailbreak.
However, the prison was a realm of thunder tribulations formed at the dawn of time.
If they entered recklessly, they might perish within its depths.
Moreover, there was only one entrance.
If they charged in and found no deities inside, they would be trapped like turtles in a jar.
At this moment, the Dragon King cautiously approached Han Chuan Celestial Sovereign.
“Celestial Sovereign, I hope you have been well?”
Han Chuan’s expression was grim, but upon seeing the Dragon King, his rage subsided slightly, and he nodded.
“The Dragon Clan has come to the Celestial Realm today to aid Celestial Sovereign Han Chuan.”
“My son, the young prince of the Dragon Clan, has sworn to establish great merits in the Celestial Realm and contribute to its peace. Celestial Sovereign, please forgive him if he causes any trouble.”
Han Chuan’s face softened. The Dragon Clan knew how to read the situation.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
“Good. If the Dragon Clan holds such intentions, I will remember this goodwill. What is the young prince’s name?”
The Dragon King was overjoyed. Excellent! Son, your father has secured an opportunity for you!
“Shameless as it may be to say, my son is called Zhu Mo. He is a black dragon. If Celestial Sovereign sees him, you will recognize him immediately.”
After exchanging pleasantries, the Dragon King stood aside, waiting for the moment when Lu Chao Chao ascended to the upper realm so his son could rush in and claim credit.
The more he thought about it, the more satisfied he felt.
That love-struck fool of a son had finally grown up. The Dragon King was deeply moved.
Han Chuan Celestial Sovereign surveyed the crowd and declared solemnly,
“The Emperor entrusted the Imperial Seal to me, and I shall prioritize the Three Realms above all. I will not allow evil to threaten its peace.”
“If any deity disagrees, take it up with the Emperor.”
He raised the Imperial Seal high, his eyes flickering with madness and bloodlust.
“With the Imperial Seal here, all gods obey my command!”
The gods glared at him with resentment, but after a long silence, they bowed their heads in submission.
“Lu Chao Chao’s seven disciples have committed grievous crimes. From this day forward, their godhoods are revoked, and they are expelled from the divine ranks!”
Yan Qing Celestial Sovereign held several glowing spheres in his hand.
“Aside from Chong Yue High God, the godhoods of the remaining six are all here.”
One of the azure light spheres seemed strangely familiar. He could not recall where he had seen it before…
Yan Qing Celestial Sovereign furrowed his brows in deep thought before his eye twitched violently.
He remembered!
This was the godhood of Lu Chao Chao’s youngest disciple, Gan Tang, the God of Four Seasons!
That damned Gan Tang was the one who had developed the infamous fertilizer that replaced the Glazed Purification Flower!
Recalling this incident, Yan Qing’s face twitched in frustration.
Heaven knew how furious the Celestial Realm had been in recent days when the gods gained weight after consuming the Six Purities Pill.
His reputation was in ruins.
A thousand years of cultivation—all wasted on growing pig feed!
