Chapter 1129: Forging Strong Relations Between the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas and the Four Nine Immortal Sect

Why are you all looking at me like that?

An Lin turned to look around at everyone with indignation on his face.

Do you guys think that I’m the type of person who robs people under the guise of borrowing money?

Everyone remained silent in the face of An Lin’s enraged interrogation.
An Lin:
…

I only wanted to borrow ten million spirit stones! It’s the truth!

You have to believe me!

Xu Xiaolan forced a trusting expression onto her face.
An Lin, I believe you!

An Lin’s lips twitched at the sight of Xu Xiaolan’s forced expression.
Ao Meng decided to test the waters.
So… what do you plan to do now?

Changing from borrowing ten million spirit stones to robbing ten million spirit stones? It sounded like the exact same fcking thing!
An Lin chuckled coldly.
I was just trying to borrow some money, but you guys almost killed me. I’ve also had to consume a fifth-grade immortal fruit! As such, I’m not borrowing anymore. I’m going to rob you!


Rob ten million spirit stones?
Ao Meng was a little enraged.
Impossible! I don’t have that much money!

An Lin rolled his eyes.
What are you saying, Dragon King? Which robber dictates a monetary value for how much they’re going to rob? A true robber strips the victim of everything they own!


Gasp…

Everyone drew a sharp intake of breath upon hearing this.
They had previously stumbled into a mental blind spot, but they finally saw the light now.
It turned out that borrowing money and robbery really were two different concepts to An Lin!
He was only going to borrow ten million, but if he was going to rob, then he would rob everything!
An Lin pulled the storage ring off Ao Xianyu’s finger as he spoke before refining it and putting it into his own storage ring.

An Lin! Don’t push me any further than this!
Ao Meng roared again.
The seawater within a radius of over kilometers surged violently with the Dragon King’s rage, as if a devastating spell technique were brewing.
An Lin remained completely unfazed.
Ao Meng had already sworn a dao heart vow, so he wouldn’t dare to attack no matter how enraged he was.

Release my son at once!
Ao Meng roared again.

I’d love to! Leave all of your storage rings here, and I’ll let Ao Xianyu go without a second thought.
An Lin slapped his chest as he delivered a guarantee.
I’m a very professional and reputable robber!

Ao Meng:
…

He wanted the storage rings of other Dragon Tribe mighty figures too? Was he actually trying to rob them of everything?!

I feel like Giant An Lin is becoming more and more like an antagonist.
Tina pursed her lips.
An amused smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face.
Hasn’t he always been like this? I’ve never seen him concede a disadvantage before. If anyone dared to push him around, he would always return the favor with interest!


You…
Ao Meng’s entire body trembled with rage.
I… I’m going to…

Ao Meng suddenly roared, and his body transformed into a streak of black light that tore through the seawater!
Everyone was momentarily dumbstruck.

Don’t let him get away!
An Lin roared.
That’s right, the Dragon King of the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas was fleeing into the distance!
An Lin and the others gave chase, but his escape was simply too abrupt, and it would be very difficult for them to catch him.

Ao Meng, I still have your son! Are you just going to leave him?
An Lin roared.
However, the black dragon in the distance did not give any response…
An Lin and the others were astonished. None of them had expected Ao Meng to abandon his son for the sake of his storage ring.

Wait for me, Dragon King!
Lu Zhenhai cried for help.
The blue dragon also fled into the distance.
An Lin and the others only came to the realization then that there was still another Dragon Tribe mighty figure around.
For Tina, who had mastered spatial skipping, catching Lu Zhenhai was a piece of cake.
Thus…
An Lin:
Hehe, didn’t you say this was going to be my final resting place?

Xiao Ze:
Didn’t you say you were going to kill all of us? We’ll give you an opportunity to do so now, so don’t run away!

Lu Zhenhai felt as if he had been plunged into a glacial river as he fled into the distance with all his might.
However, he didn’t get far before a bunch of friendly robbers caught up to him.
Lu Zhenhai:
…

Thump thump thump… Bang bang bang… Clatter clatter clatter… Puff puff puff…
Lu Zhenhai lay, bruised and battered, on the seabed, and his storage ring had naturally already been taken by An Lin.
An Lin handed Ao Xianyu over to Lu Zhenhai before extending a salute.
Thank you for your philanthropic actions, Mr. Ao Xianyu and Mr. Lu Zhenhai. I will be sure to remember this, and when the Four Nine Immortal Sect recovers from its financial difficulties, I will be sure to repay the two of you!

Ao Xianyu’s face paled.
Lu Zhenhai’s face convulsed, and he almost let loose a torrent of abuse.
This was the first time he had seen such a shameless man.
An Lin wasn’t going to kill them. He was just here to borrow money, so killing them was never his original intention. Thus, they exchanged some polite conversation before An Lin and his team left.
Oh, right, before they left, An Lin also made Ao Xianyu and Lu Zhenhai swear dao heart vows that they would never attack any members of the Four Nine Immortal Sect from this day forth. This was all in an effort to forge stronger relations between the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas and the Four Nine Immortal Sect.
An Lin was quite happy to have converted another two Dragon Court mighty figures from foes to friends.
The two parties separated thereafter.
Lu Zhenhai and Ao Xianyu returned to the Dragon Court.

My son! You’re finally back! I was just about to send reinforcements to save you!
Ao Meng greeted Ao Xianyu and Lu Zhenhai with tears streaming down his face.
Lu Zhenhai chuckled coldly in his heart. If An Lin really wanted to kill them, they would have been long dead before any reinforcements arrived.

I’m so glad you’re safe! You have to learn to be optimistic. Where there’s life, there’s hope! Even though you’ve lost your storage ring, you can just earn everything back in the future!
Ao Meng offered words of consolation.
Lu Zhenhai continued to chuckle coldly in his heart. Of course it was easy for Ao Meng to be optimistic, seeing as he wasn’t the one who had been robbed!
Ao Xianyu shot a feeble glance at Ao Meng.
Ao Meng seemed to have been able to read their thoughts, and he said with a distraught expression,
Please don’t hold it against your father for abandoning you two. After all, I couldn’t beat An Lin and his team in a four on one battle… I have treasures in my storage ring that are of the utmost importance to the Dragon Tribe, so I can’t afford to hand it over. As such, the only course of action available to me was to return to the Dragon Court for reinforcements!


I understand…
Ao Xianyu nodded with difficulty.

Oh, thank God you do!
Ao Meng encircled Ao Xianyu in a moving hug.
The embrace between father and son created quite a touching scene.
Ao Xianyu added in his heart: You’re just scared of dying and losing money, right? I understand…

So you woke me up for nothing. I’m going back to sleep now.
Ao Xiaowu yawned with bleary eyes as she stood beside Ao Meng.
Ao Meng was immediately incensed at the sight of Ao Xiaowu.

I haven’t even gotten to you yet! If you had been there at that time, how could everything have come to this?

Ao Xiaowu didn’t offer any retort to this. Instead, she nodded lazily.
Alright alright alright… It’s all my fault. If there’s nothing else for me to do, then I’ll go punish myself by sleeping.

She headed back to her courtyard as she spoke, clearly planning to continue her slumber.
Ao Meng almost threw up a mouthful of blood after hearing Ao Xiaowu’s words.
Even though he was very angry, he couldn’t do anything…
What the hell? Why did interacting with his daughter feel kind of similar to interacting with An Lin?

Hmph! Don’t think that this is the end, An Lin. I’ll repay you for what you’ve done today with interest!
A ferocious expression appeared on Ao Meng’s face.

Father… I…
Ao Xianyu suddenly realized that he had something to tell Ao Meng.
Ao Meng hurriedly made his way over to him.
Now is not the time to talk. We need to get you back to full health first!

He accompanied Ao Xianyu to the Dragon Court healing formation as he spoke.
Ao Xianyu was about to tell the Dragon King that he had sworn a dao heart vow, which prohibited him from attacking any of the Four Nine Immortal Sect members in the future, but he was cut off before he could say anything.
He thought about it, then decided that he couldn’t be bothered delivering the news.
It wouldn’t matter anyway.
The Dragon Court was probably going to be no match for the Four Nine Immortal Sect from this day forth anyway…
