Dragon's Origin

Chapter 589: The Correct Way to Take a Beating (Part 2)

The little girl listened very attentively, planning to fully display her seductive skills on Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng laughed heartily and, without restraint, gave the struggling Mei'er a heavy kiss on the face before cheerfully heading to the bathroom he had specially built in the training room to wash up.

His blood-stained clothes were naturally taken away for cleaning. Wang Sheng lay in the large bathtub with his eyes closed, enjoying a blissful soak. Suddenly, the sound of water indicated someone had entered the tub.

Opening his eyes, he saw Mei'er draped in a gauze robe, half-covering and half-revealing, as she walked to Wang Sheng's side. Soaked in water, the thin gauze became almost transparent, making Wang Sheng reluctant to blink.

"This humble servant will attend to the Duke's bath!" Mei'er spoke in a delicate voice that made Wang Sheng feel as though his entire body was going to turn to mush.

Just as he was about to wrap his arms around Mei'er's slender waist, Wang Sheng's hand was stopped by Mei'er. The little girl leaned over and whispered in Wang Sheng's ear, regardless of how enticing the view was from his perspective, she said softly, "I had the Grand Master of the temple check the dates. It's right after the Dharma Assembly, so please be patient and good!"

Such a mischievous little girl, Wang Sheng suppressed his excitement and used the Six-Syllable Mantra to calm his mind. When he looked at Mei'er, the girl was secretly giggling, her allure intensified by the close and intimate contact, forcing Wang Sheng to use the Six-Syllable Mantra again to suppress his desires.

After calming down, Mei'er stopped teasing Wang Sheng and obediently helped him scrub his back. Then, she lay in the bath beside Wang Sheng, enjoying an unprecedented sense of security and happiness.

"Any recent news?" Wang Sheng asked casually, holding Mei'er in his arms. Even if he couldn't have her, he could still smell her fragrance and feel her smooth, delicate skin, which was a great pleasure in itself.

"The biggest news is that you and Dao Ye stormed the Dai King's palace." Mei'er, though no longer teasing Wang Sheng, kept her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "Also, there's the Old Lord Temple's Dharma Assembly."

"What else?" Wang Sheng knew Mei'er's habit of mentioning the important things first and leaving the less important ones for later.

"Various families have placed orders with us for nearly ten billion gold coins. For the next year, the villages outside the city and the Grand Masters of the Exquisite Pavilion won't have to think about doing anything else." Mei'er recounted how everyone had been rushing to buy things from her recently. "The Gan family might have been scared, they alone placed an order for two billion gold coins."

As expected, Wang Sheng wasn't surprised. Except for the Dai family, all the other families intended to befriend the Old Lord Temple. Although the royal family didn't place an order, they gave Mei'er plenty of benefits. Various generous rewards, both useful and useless, had been sent to the mansion, and even a group of beauties were bestowed upon her under the guise of being Mei'er Princess's maids.

"What about the Divine Prison?" Wang Sheng asked, "Any latest news?"

"The old man from the Divine Prison came the day before yesterday, bringing more than forty heads." Mei'er said with a smile, "Rose examined them and confirmed that they were all well-known experts from the Xia family. After looking at them, she had them take the heads away again."

"Mm!" Wang Sheng grunted noncommittally. To be honest, the Divine Prison's actions against the Xia family were mainly to make them uneasy, unable to eat or sleep in peace, whether they killed important figures or not was irrelevant. But it seemed to be working well, with the Divine Prison and the Shanyue Kingdom attacking from both sides, the Xia family was indeed having a hard time now.

Ah Qi cared about her younger brother who was hidden away by the Xia family, and didn't have much sense of belonging to the Xia family, so she must be happy to see the Xia family being tormented like this.

"What about the capital?" Wang Sheng asked again, "Any movements or important figures coming over?"

"Almost every family has sent important figures." Mei'er smiled, "Basically, it's either the Great Elder or several elders coming together. Also..." At this point, Mei'er seemed a little hesitant to speak.

"Also what?" Wang Sheng asked, without suspecting anything.

"The Duke of Song has sent his daughter over again!" Mei'er always seemed annoyed when she mentioned Song Yan, but she still said it.

"Song Yan is here too?" Wang Sheng was a little surprised. This wasn't anything beneficial. Logically, sending a Great Elder would be grand enough, but Song Yan had come in person. Could something be up?

"Hmph!" As Wang Sheng pondered Song Yan's intentions, Mei'er became unhappy again, turning her head away in annoyance, but her arms remained around Wang Sheng's neck.

"What about the Dai family?" Wang Sheng chuckled inwardly at Mei'er's little thoughts and casually asked a question to change the subject, "Has the Dai family sent anyone?"

"You guessed it, Duke." Hearing Wang Sheng ask about the Dai family, Mei'er immediately forgot her jealousy and turned back to Wang Sheng, saying, "The Dai family has elected a new family head these past few days. It's said that this family head is personally coming to the capital to apologize to the Old Lord Temple."

"One should stand at attention when being hit!" Wang Sheng laughed as well, "The Dai family's way of taking a beating is quite correct! They're decisive in admitting defeat when they should, they've got it all figured out. Who is this new family head? Do we know them?"

"Speaking of which, the Dai family's new family head has some connection to you, Duke." Mei'er said with a smile, "Take a guess, who is the new family head?"

"Related to me?" Wang Sheng was taken aback, and then began to ponder.

The only people from the Dai family that Wang Sheng had contact with were Dai Huan, who had already been killed by Wang Sheng. Dai Si was also dead, an elder Dai Wuji died at Wang Sheng's hands, and the Great Elder had also died at Wang Sheng's hands. Now the family head and the new Great Elder were also dead, so who else could be related to Wang Sheng?

As he was pondering, Wang Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, the Yuan Soul that Dai Huan had snatched from the Song family's forbidden area, which had become an upgradeable nine-star Yuan Soul after mutual devouring. It was said that the Yuan Soul was later given to Dai Huan's younger brother, Dai Xiao.

"Could it be that the Dai family's new family head is Dai Xiao?" After pondering for a while, Wang Sheng asked his guess.

"How annoying!" Mei'er lightly punched Wang Sheng's body with her small fist, complaining incessantly, "Couldn't you have pretended not to guess it?"

"Dai Xiao's age is about the same as yours and mine, right?" Wang Sheng ignored Mei'er's small fist and asked with a smile.

"Mm! A year or two younger than you and me." Mei'er lay lazily on Wang Sheng's chest, not wanting to move.

Interesting! Following the Song family's new generation taking power, the Dai family is also seeing a new generation take power. However, the Song family is now strong and prosperous, while the Dai family has suffered deaths and injuries. The original situation of the Song and Dai families has been completely reversed.
