The news of the North Sea Dragon King carrying a Jade Spittoon to the heavenly banquet landed like a bombshell, causing Yao Qin to spit her hot tea all over the face of the Shrimp Soldier with a loud "pfft."
In the past, accompanying the North Sea Dragon King on his adventures was her exclusive privilege.
When did it become the turn of a Jade Spittoon? He was parading around with a Jade Spittoon—was he really not trying to be a joke?
Outsiders only knew that the North Sea Dragon King was young, accomplished, and handsome, but they were unaware of his hidden trait—he was quite foolish.
Ever since Yao Qin transformed into a human, this hidden trait had been unleashed like a key opening Pandora's box, fully activating his foolish mode.
It was one thing for others to be oblivious, but Yao Qin, who spent every day with him, was well aware.
Whenever he faced stimulation, he would exhibit such behavior; this had happened once three hundred years ago.
At that time, he had lost to a toad spirit in martial combat and couldn’t accept reality, leading him to act foolishly. As a result, he was tricked into bed by Xi Hai Long Tai Zi, who disguised as a woman and was known as the father of the dragon clan's new era of broken sleeves. He nearly lost his virtue.
Yao Qin looked at the chrysanthemum petals floating in her cup and frowned slightly, feeling anxious about his virtue.
She decided to wait for him at the Southern Heavenly Gate.
However, just as she stepped outside, she was blocked by a seemingly charming Loach. Yao Qin attempted to push forward several times but was thwarted each time. With no other choice, she stopped and said with mild exasperation, "Alright... could you please move aside? Don’t block the way."
The Loach proudly twisted its body in the water and transformed into a dashing Beautiful Uncle.
The Beautiful Uncle wore a slightly greasy smile on his face and said, "Xiao Yao'er, don't you remember me?"
"Ah, please! Am I that familiar with you?" Yao Qin replied bluntly.
The Beautiful Uncle continued to grin, "Of course we are familiar! You're the one who kicked me back to Dongting Lake."
Indeed, the man before her, the Beautiful Uncle, was none other than Venerable Dongting, whose true form was that of a large Loach.
Yao Qin rolled her eyes at him dismissively and charged forward again, saying, "I don't know you."
Venerable Dongting nimbly jumped in front of her once more. Yao Qin was caught off guard and bumped right into his arms.
Taking advantage of the moment, Venerable Dongting was about to introduce himself when a loud voice boomed from above, "Beast! Let her go!"
At the sound of that voice, both of them instinctively separated and quickly retreated a few meters apart.
Ao Zhan rushed forward in a single leap, pulling Yao Qin behind him with an angry expression. "While I’m not around, you dare to flirt around!"
Yao Qin sighed helplessly, thinking to herself that he had indeed started acting foolishly again. She seriously doubted whether his earlier shout of "beast" was directed at himself.
"Who is he?" she planned to use those simple three words to clarify her relationship with Venerable Dongting.
Ao Zhan glanced sideways at Venerable Dongting with a condescending look and said, "That beast's surname is Wei."
Yao Qin raised her face, looking confused as she asked, "What does 'Wei' mean?"
"Why, why..." Ao Zhan was momentarily stunned, a hint of bewilderment crossing his face. "Is it because the beast's father also has the surname Wei?"
"... That makes sense." Yao Qin thought to herself that it was better to agree with him at this moment to avoid any further trouble.
Venerable Dongting, overhearing their conversation, wasn't angry; instead, he chuckled softly. "Ao Zhan, aren't we all beasts here?"
Yao Qin remained silent. Indeed, aside from her, everyone else here was a beast in their true form.
"Come now, Qin Shou Long, today you and I must settle this once and for all. Loser will have to give up their Dragon Palace to me," Venerable Dongting said with his hands on his hips, provocatively.
Ao Zhan shot him an impatient glance, his tone dripping with disdain. "You've been saying that for thousands of years. Aren't you tired? I'm busy today."
With that, he ignored Venerable Dongting and turned to reprimand Yao Qin. "Let me tell you, don't be fooled by his appearance; he's definitely not a good beast. I know spring has arrived, but you can't just eat anything out of hunger."
Three black lines appeared on Yao Qin's forehead as she felt utterly speechless at his nonsensical accusation.
Seeing her gaze blankly fixed on Venerable Dongting's face, Ao Zhan felt inexplicably displeased. He turned her head back to face him and said, "What's so interesting? In a few thousand or even ten thousand years, my charm will outshine his by miles."
