Chapter 477: Chapter 3 Long Long!
I want you to marry into the Gui family!
With spirits high and bellies full, the guests were all in good cheer, and the beautiful Island Master said with a smile:
“Your accommodations have been prepared.
Please rest here for a few days.”
Accommodations?
Long Long’s heart stirred, and he turned his head to look at the old turtle.
But he only saw the old turtle stand up and, without looking back, slowly walked away.
“Long Elder, please follow me,” a young maiden came out, gesturing to show Long Long the way.
Long Long followed her deep into the island, where he saw a majestic palace nestled in the valley.
Those who practiced Cultivating Immortality, capable of wielding the grand forces of Daoist Magic, often favored grand and imposing architectural styles, yet the interior decorations were usually not as intricate, favoring spaciousness instead.
Long Long was guided by the maiden into a side hall, where he saw the old turtle sitting in the seat of honor with his eyes closed in meditation, and the beautiful Island Master sitting beside him with a smile, staring at him with profound meaning, yet not speaking a word.

What are these two doing, playing a game of whoever speaks first, loses?
Although he didn’t know what had happened, Long Long was well-versed in the ways of the enigmatic, and since neither of them wished to speak, he found a chair to sit down beside them and likewise remained silent.
After a moment, crisp laughter came from outside:
“My dear ancestor, what’s the reason for summoning me this time…”
The person entered the room, revealing herself to be a cute young lady with a bun hairstyle and a round face, appearing to be around sixteen or seventeen years old.
However, that’s typical of the Demon Race; those who look like young girls might really be older than those who seem like mature women, so Long Long wasn’t fooled by her appearance.
He merely kept his eyes to himself, remaining indifferent to her.
Yet, while he had no interest in this unfamiliar demon-presumably a younger member of the old turtle’s Turtle Clan-the little turtle lady seemed to have sensed something.
After a brief pause, she chose to sit down in the chair opposite him, still not speaking, but intently watching Long Long.
A short while later, the old turtle finally opened his eyes, but he ignored the little turtle lady and said to Long Long:
“Gui Ling’er is currently the purest descendant of our bloodline.”
“If you are willing to marry her, our debts would be settled.”
This statement caused both Gui Ling’er’s and Long Long’s faces to drastically change.
The former instinctively thought: What turtle!
Who exactly is this person, and why is the great ancestor suddenly arranging a marriage for me?
The latter’s instinctive thought: Impossible!
I am a committed advocate for the purity of the female lead’s love!
Even if I owe a favor, with the little fox in my life, how could I possibly entertain the idea with another animal!
And it’s a turtle, no less!
“The Xuanwu Immortal sure has an imposing air!” Before either had a chance to speak, laughter came in from outside, “As a member of our Dragon Clan, has Long Long’s elders been consulted about his significant marital matters?”
The door was pushed open from outside, and Long Long saw Shi Yao strut in confidently, followed by Long Hu with an equally frosty expression.
Click!
A sound clicked inside Long Long’s head.
He realized that Shi Yao’s timing was just too perfect, arriving right after the old turtle broached the subject of marriage, before he had the chance to voice his objections.
This was bound to be overheard by Long Hu outside, who would certainly misunderstand that I am a scoundrel!
Damn it, wasn’t she supposed to be in closed cultivation at the underwater palace?
How did Shi Yao bring her here all of a sudden…
Someone among the guests must have recognized my Dragon Clan identity and secretly informed Shi Yao!
Then Shi Yao either contacted Hu Li, who was teaching Long Hu, or directly found Qin Beiwang; in any case, she used some method to bring her here!
Although he knew the little fox had misunderstood, Long Long, being an experienced individual, naturally realized that it was impossible to rush to explain at this moment.
Because once you explain, the other party knows you’ve backed down, and then endless complaints and grievances will follow, making you psychologically feel even more disadvantaged.
“I was just about to explain to the elder,” Long Long said with neither humility nor arrogance, “Though I owe the elder a favor, my heart belongs to another, and I am unwilling and unable to repay it in this manner.
I ask for the elder’s understanding.”
As soon as these words came out, Long Hu indeed turned from anger to embarrassment, Shi Yao showed a look of admiration, the beautiful Island Master became curious, filled with the desire for gossip, and the old turtle showed no expression.
Only Gui Ling’er immediately widened her eyes, as a sense of humiliation rose within her.
It’s interesting how the human psyche works.
The same thing, if given away for free, is considered lowly, but if unattainable, becomes an obsession; the idea of limited time and exclusivity operates on this principle.
Gui Ling’er originally had no regard for Long Long, but first Shi Yao stopped her, and then Long Long himself expressed his refusal, naturally leaving her feeling…
still dismissive, but also seeing the shy Long Hu, obviously the one Long Long referred to as “my heart belongs to another.”
I want to see just who this little demoness is!
“No matter,” the old turtle seemed unsurprised and simply said, “If you are unwilling to marry her and have offspring, then do something else for me.”
“Please instruct me, elder,” Long Long immediately said.
“Xuanwu Immortal, could it be that you’re referring to the event three days from now?” the beautiful Island Master guessed the answer instantly and tentatively asked.
The old turtle nodded slightly, and the Island Master immediately understood, then amiably said to Long Long:
“This Divine Dragon Island, long before the Demon Race arrived at the Eastern Emperor Realm, had an Innate Relic that had evolved here, which later was discovered by the ancestors of the Xuanwu Clan.”
“From ancient times to the present, numerous powerful beings have entered the relic, trying to comprehend the profound Daoist Magic, but very few have gained anything from it.”
“What the Xuanwu Immortal means is, since you’re unwilling to have a union and offspring with Gui Ling’er, then take her into the relic to comprehend the Dao.
This would also count as repaying the favor,” she explained.
Long Long pondered for a moment.
To marry Gui Ling’er would naturally mean coveting his high-rank Ying Long bloodline.
The Azure Dragon Clan was so eager, it was only natural that the Xuanwu Clan was no exception.
But what’s this about taking Gui Ling’er to level up?
What’s the play here?
Could it be because they heard that I once left South State alone with Long Hu, and they think I have the ability to…
ah, not right, the capacity to take care of young girls?
While he was unable to figure it out, Shi Yao, being an elder from the Jiaolong, naturally knew of the “ancient friendship” between the Jiaolong ancestors and the Xuan Gui Clan.
Considering that the Innate Relic was first discovered by the ancient Xuanwu Clan, it might well contain some manuscripts about the study of the Dao that would require the presence of both the Jiaolong and the Xuan Gui to obtain.
Therefore, she immediately gave Long Long a look, signaling him not to overthink it and to agree.
“In that case, I have no reason to refuse,” Long Long, catching Shi Yao’s look and having thought it through, decisively agreed.
This left the little fox dumbfounded.
She had been somewhat happy that Long Long had decisively chosen her, but now it turned out that this damnable girl, the third wheel, was going to follow Long Long and herself into the relic that would open in three days?
What was supposed to be an eagerly anticipated journey for two suddenly became a trip for three?
How infuriating!
All because of Long Long, you…
if you sneak out to transform, then just transform; why did you end up with the Xuanwu Immortal, owing him a favor!
Long Hu ground her teeth in resentment and cast an angry, “I could bite you” glare at Long Long.

Long Long, on the other hand, pretended not to understand her gaze and responded with a reassuring and gentle smile that said, “Don’t worry.”
Gui Ling’er looked at Long Hu, then at Long Long, and suddenly took an interest in the relationship between the two.
