Chapter 2153: Battle of the Dragon Sons!

"Yo, Long Chi, what fine leisure you have! With nothing better to do, you actually call yourself a pig?"

Just as Long Chi was shouting "Long Chi is a pig," a middle-aged man suddenly appeared atop the stone pagoda, a look of amusement on his face.

Long Chi frowned and said, "Brother Ao Xu, what brings you here?"

Ao Xu chuckled and said, "Never mind why I'm here for now. This stunt of yours is quite original—I could hear your howling from a hundred li away. Heh, our dragon bloodline is supremely noble; even if you've given up on yourself, don't compare yourself to lowly creatures like pigs!"

Long Chi's face darkened, and his hatred for Ye Yuan deepened further.

This Ao Xu was a Heavenly Emperor from the Purple Dragon Stockade of the Heavenly Stockade. If he witnessed this scene, wouldn't his disgrace spread to the Heavenly Stockade?

Would his face be lost throughout the entire Eastern Town Void Realm?

Fortunately, he and Ao Xu were on good terms. Long Chi sighed and said, "Ah! Don't mention it, Brother Ao Xu! I have a lump in my chest right now, and I'm about to explode!"

Ao Xu knew that Long Chi held absolute power in the Rain Dragon Stockade, having nearly sidelined the Dragon Lord Long Xiyue.

This situation shouldn't have occurred.

"Oh? Is there someone in the Rain Dragon Stockade who can infuriate you like this?" Ao Xu asked curiously.

Long Chi said bitterly, "There wasn't before, but now... Alas!"

He roughly recounted the ins and outs of the matter, though he selectively omitted Long Hao's domineering actions.

After hearing this, Ao Xu was stunned.

"You mean to say that in just ten years, he broke through to Heavenly Sovereign in the Dragon Eye Cave, obtained the Heavenly Dragon Imprint, and found the way back?" Ao Xu asked in disbelief.

Long Chi nodded and said, "Exactly!"

"Bah! Exactly my foot! Old man Long Chi, I treat you as a friend, and you treat me like a monkey to be fooled?" Ao Xu sprayed Long Chi with dragon spittle, utterly refusing to believe his words.

But just then, Ao Xu let out a soft exclamation. A white secret order leaped out from the void and landed in his hand.

Ao Xu reached out and grabbed the order, sinking his divine sense into it. His expression changed dramatically.

"Long Chi, that little... Son of the Heavenly Dragon you mentioned—what's his name?" Ao Xu asked gravely.

"His name is Ye Yuan!" Long Chi said through gritted teeth.

Upon receiving the affirmative answer, Ao Xu's face was filled with shock. "So, everything you just said is true?"

Long Chi said helplessly, "Of course it's true!"

Ao Xu's mouth fell open, his face full of disbelief.

Every single thing Long Chi had said was incredible, and all of it had happened to the same person.

This matter was too mind-boggling!

Reading Ao Xu's expression, Long Chi said, "Brother Ao Xu's visit to the Rain Dragon Stockade—could it be..."

Ao Xu nodded and said, "Indeed, the Battle of the Dragon Sons is about to begin. I came to invite Long Xiaochun to participate. But... just now, a secret order came from the stockade saying that another name had appeared on the Dragon Seal Stele: Ye Yuan, and he's from your Rain Dragon Stockade! Who would have thought that a small Rain Dragon Stockade would produce two Sons of the Heavenly Dragon this time!"

...

"Giggle, Ye Yuan, shouldn't you kowtow when you see your great-aunt?" Long Xiaochun teased Ye Yuan again.

Ye Yuan was speechless. This joke, Long Xiaochun could play for ten years.

But Long Xiyue said sternly, "Xiaochun, don't be rude! Not to mention that Ye Yuan has obtained the Heavenly Dragon Imprint, but the fact that he has an atavistic dragon soul makes him the隔代 successor of your elder uncle. By seniority, you are of the same generation! You are younger than him, so you should call him big brother!"

Long Xiyue looked at Ye Yuan with great affection.

She had a close relationship with Long Qin, and loving the house and its crow, she naturally regarded Ye Yuan differently.

Long Xiaochun pouted and said discontentedly, "What's this? I finally caught his little tail, and you've undone it with one sentence."

Ye Yuan found it amusing to hear this. So the dragon clan had such a way of putting things.

Long Xiyue glared at Long Xiaochun and said, "You girl, you never cultivate properly and just fool around all day! The Battle of the Dragon Sons is about to start. From today on, you will cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Second Heaven of Heavenly Sovereign as soon as possible! If you lose in the Battle of the Dragon Sons, just wait and see how I deal with you!"

At the mention of cultivation, Long Xiaochun's head began to ache.

"Mother, don't push me! Look, I've been cultivating very hard already, reaching the Heavenly Sovereign realm so quickly," Long Xiaochun said coquettishly.

But Long Xiyue was unmoved and said sternly, "Don't give me that! Do you think I don't know your nature? If you slack off again, I'll confine you to your room!"

Long Xiaochun pulled a long face, then suddenly had an idea. She tugged at Ye Yuan, looking pitiful, and said, "Brother Ye Yuan..."

Long Xiyue was about to get angry when she saw Ye Yuan smile and say, "Aunt, you don't have to push Xiaochun so hard. With her talent, breaking through to the Second Heaven of Heavenly Sovereign is as easy as lifting a finger."

Long Xiaochun nodded vigorously beside him, fully agreeing.

Ye Yuan's words were not insincere; Long Xiaochun's talent was truly the best he had ever seen.

Even that self-proclaimed genius Lin Changqing was nothing but trash compared to Long Xiaochun.

It was only because Long Xiaochun was very playful that her cultivation speed was so slow.

If she cultivated with focus, her strength would be unimaginably terrifying by now.

Long Xiyue shook her head and said, "You don't understand. The Battle of the Dragon Sons concerns the rise and fall of the Rain Dragon Stockade. With the battle imminent, given her lazy nature, she will surely suffer greatly in the competition. Everyone who obtains the Heavenly Dragon Imprint and becomes a Son of the Heavenly Dragon is extremely powerful, not much inferior to her."

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Aunt, rest assured. Leave Xiaochun's breakthrough to me."

Long Xiyue was startled, then said joyfully, "I almost forgot—you are the Sub-Saint personally appointed by the Saint Ancestor's High Priest! Then... I won't stand on ceremony!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "We're family; there's no need for formalities."

Long Xiyue beamed and said, "I never thought that elder brother would have such an outstanding descendant. In time, you will surely surpass him!"

Long Xiaochun said cheerfully, "Great! Taking a pill to break through—how convenient!"

...

"Brother Ao Xu, you must seek justice for me! This brat not only killed my Hao'er but also humiliated me in this way! I simply cannot swallow this anger!" Before Ao Xu, Long Chi said with a mournful face.

Ao Xu looked troubled, shook his head, and sighed, "Brother Long Chi, I know you're suffering, but you know the status of a Son of the Heavenly Dragon. With my position, it's hard for me to touch him!"

Long Chi cursed the old fox under his breath, then gritted his teeth and said, "If Brother Ao Xu is willing to help me take revenge, I am willing to offer the Heaven-Shaking Awl as a gift."

Ao Xu laughed upon hearing this and said, "Brother Long Chi, rest assured. What kind of relationship do we have? Your business is my business. I will definitely handle this matter for you!"
