Su Qing saw that these little ones were determined not to follow her to the East Sea Dragon Palace.
So she didn't bother to force them.
If they didn't want to go, then so be it! It meant she would have less weight to carry.
She just felt a slight urge to poke fun at these little ones...
After all, if it weren't for the magical empowerment of the Light-Body Technique, they wouldn't be able to fly even if they weren't in the sea and their wings weren't wet.
"Since that's the case, you stay at home! If you're hungry, go find the monkey troop for some food... but remember not to wander too far."
These little ones were weak, and Su Qing didn't want them getting lost while she was away, or being snatched up by some demon as a snack, so she naturally had to give them a few more warnings.
Even if, theoretically, there were no powerful demons in Flower-Fruit Mountain.
But taking precautions was still necessary.
The little sparrows were quite obedient in this regard.
They quickly nodded and promised, "We definitely won't run around!"
"We'll be good!"
"Exactly, exactly, we're very good! Little Sister Qing can rest assured."
"Yes, yes, Little Sister Qing, don't worry."
Su Qing stared at the little ones for a moment after hearing this, then nodded slightly.
Then she turned and left Flower-Fruit Mountain with Gongsun Zhixue and Leng Xiang.
Before long, the three of them were flying over the East Sea.
Su Qing formed a hand seal, cast a water-repelling spell, and then dove into the water with Leng Xiang and the other.
After they entered the water.
The water-repelling spell immediately pushed the surrounding seawater away, allowing them to breathe smoothly and move freely even underwater.
The only inconvenience was that the water-repelling spell had to be maintained at all times.
"Don't wander too far from me; if you go too far, my water-repelling spell won't be able to cover you."
Su Qing said as she saw Gongsun Zhixue looking excited upon entering the sea for the first time.
"Hmph, don't worry, I know the water-repelling spell too," Gongsun Zhixue replied with her hands on her hips, full of confidence.
"Well, that's good. But... do you know the way?"
"..." Gongsun Zhixue froze for a moment upon hearing this, then shook her head with a look of depression.
She indeed had no idea which way led to the Dragon Palace...
If she got lost... then she could only go back to Flower-Fruit Mountain and wait for them to return.
She really wanted to see the legendary Dragon Palace! If she missed out because of that, it would be a real loss.
So Gongsun Zhixue, hearing this, could only put away her thoughts of looking around and stayed obediently by Su Qing's side.
Seeing this, Su Qing only smiled slightly and didn't take the opportunity to tease her further.
Instead, she grabbed the two of them and swam swiftly toward the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Before long, Su Qing had reached the seabed.
The magnificent East Sea Dragon Palace also came into view.
This East Sea Dragon Palace was built with incredible luxury, even more so than the Moon Palace; it could be said that the words "wealthy upstart" were written right on the plaque of the Crystal Palace.
Outside the Crystal Palace.
The patrolling Yaksa saw someone pushing through the water and immediately went up to intercept Su Qing.
Just as he stopped Su Qing and her companions, the Yaksa immediately regretted it.
Because he discovered that he seemed to have stopped someone extraordinary!
"Im... Immortal, please stay your path!"
The Yaksa weighed his words and said respectfully:
"Immortal Su, the Crystal Palace is just ahead. If the Immortal wishes to enter, please allow me to go and report."
The Yaksa couldn't help but admire his own quick wit; this way, he was doing his duty without offending the immortal before him.
Su Qing wasn't surprised or angry at being stopped by the Yaksa.
After all, rules were the same everywhere.
Besides, her sudden visit required someone to bring word to the Old Dragon King.
Thus, she nodded slightly and said, "Very well, I'll trouble you then."
Hearing this, the Yaksa breathed a slight sigh of relief; this legendary Immortal Su didn't seem so difficult to talk to after all.
He quickly nodded and said, "It is my duty."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yaksa bowed, turned, and entered the Crystal Palace.
Inside the hall.
Singing and dancing filled the air.
The Old Dragon King was currently sitting on a coral chair, drinking fine wine and watching the graceful dances of the girls below, thoroughly enjoying himself.
The Old Dragon King was just getting into the spirit of it when his great mood was interrupted by the Yaksa who suddenly burst in.
The Old Dragon King couldn't help but strike the table and roar, "What is the matter that you are so flustered?"
"A major matter, a major matter!"
"Stop with the 'major matter' and speak quickly! If you can't tell me what this 'major matter' is, then don't even think about getting this month's stipend!" the Old Dragon King snorted and said.
The Yaksa, hearing this, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it really is a major matter! The eldest sister of that demon monkey from Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Azure Spirit Sovereign, Su Qing, has arrived! Right now, she's just outside the Crystal Palace!"
The Old Dragon King was shocked upon hearing this, and even the wine cup in his hand shattered.
"What did you say?"
The Yaksa quickly repeated what he had just said.
After the Old Dragon King listened carefully and realized he hadn't misheard, he couldn't help but say, "Quickly, go invite her in! This is a distinguished guest, she must not be neglected, do you understand?"
The Yaksa, hearing this, quickly nodded and said, "I understand, I understand!"
How would he dare to neglect her!
Although Immortal Su was easy-going, the more easy-going a person was, the more stubborn and unyielding they became when they decided not to be.
Naturally, he had to handle this carefully.
The Yaksa left, and the Old Dragon King stroked his chin, wondering to himself, "Why did she suddenly come to my Dragon Palace? Isn't she staying in the Moon Palace? Could it be..."
Thinking and thinking, the Old Dragon King suddenly understood something.
His daughter had been focusing on her recovery and cultivation for over half a year.
Therefore, she hadn't gone to the Moon Palace to see Su Qing during that time.
Most likely, because Su Qing hadn't seen his daughter for half a year, she missed her and thus made this special trip to the East Sea Dragon Palace.
The Old Dragon King thought of this and couldn't help but laugh, thinking:
"Good! Good! This way, the matter regarding Ao Ying will be even easier to accomplish."
Just as he was thinking this, the Old Dragon King's brow furrowed as he remembered the matter of his previous complaint.
"No... this must be remedied and smoothed over no matter what."
The Old Dragon King stroked his chin and thought:
"If this matter isn't put behind us, I'm afraid even Ao Ying's affairs will be affected."
Thinking of this, the Old Dragon King couldn't help but regret... back then, in a fit of anger, he hadn't cared about much and had directly filed a complaint along with his other brothers.
Recalling it now... back then, he really had dug a huge hole for himself.
"Sigh... I have to swallow the bitter fruit I planted myself, even if I have to cry while doing it." The Old Dragon King shook his head and thought, "At worst, I'll just have to bleed a little wealth!"
