Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 506: Chapter 32 The Summoning from the Myriad Demon Royal Court Chapter 506: Chapter 32 The Summoning from the Myriad Demon Royal Court In Jianmu’s interior, Long Long’s room.

“If the Transformation Tribulation is always so perilous, I probably won’t make it with my current strength,” Gui Ling’er said worriedly.

“Impossible,” Qin Zhou denied, “The intensity of the Transformation Tribulation is related to the bloodline rank of the Demon Race.”

“The higher the bloodline of the race and parents, the more deadly the Tribulation becomes.”

The implication was that Gui Ling’er’s bloodline rank wasn’t as high as Long Hu’s, so her Transformation Tribulation wouldn’t be as dangerous.

But Gui Ling’er huffed,

“Our Xuan Gui Clan’s bloodline rank isn’t bad, okay?”

“And,” Qin Ye said timidly, “even if the power of the Tribulation is only two-thirds or even one-third of Sister Hu’s, I still don’t feel confident…”

“By then, the clan will definitely help to prepare,” Qin Zhou comforted his sister, “It’s simply impossible to face the Tribulation alone.”

Long Long kept a poker face beside them, pretending he didn’t hear anything.

Realizing something was amiss, Qin Ye swiftly elbowed her brother in the chest.

He immediately grunted in pain, unable to speak.

“Your Tribulations are in the middle of next month,” Gui Ling’er sighed, “But mine came in the early part of last month already, it’s so annoying.”

“Sister Ling won’t have any problems,” Qin Ye comforted her attentively, “After all, you’re the best at defense.”

“Sigh,” Gui Ling’er continued sighing, “Dealing with the Transformation Tribulation isn’t something you can handle just by being strong in defense…

If you can’t break the Tribulation Lightning early on, you can’t keep enduring it forever, right?”

Long Long listened silently on the side, feeling like a senior who had secured a postgraduate spot, calmly listening to juniors discuss how to prepare for the graduate school entrance exam.

He was quite pleased, until Gui Ling’er gently kicked him from below.

“Hey, Long Long, what do you think I should do to prepare?”

“Isn’t it simple?” Long Long said nonchalantly, “Your Xuan Gui Clan has that what-you-may-call-it turtle shell Magical Treasure, right?”

“Refine ten thousand turtle shell Magical Treasures, then wear them all during the Tribulation, and slowly attack, isn’t that it?”

“Where am I going to get ten thousand turtle shell Magical Treasures!” Gui Ling’er shouted.

Then, she frowned and fell silent, seemingly seriously considering the possibility of using Magical Treasures to consume the Tribulation Lightning.

Just as Long Long was about to say something more, suddenly, he heard a cheer and something pressed down on his head.

“Long Long, Long Long!” Long Hu, who had entered the room, hugged him from behind excitedly, “I’ve transformed!”

“Good, good, that’s great,” Long Long, as if brainwashed, could only parrot a few words before pulling her to the front, asking concernedly, “How are the injuries from the Tribulation?”

“All healed,” Long Hu grabbed his hand, giggling, “If you don’t believe me, you can come to my room, and check for yourself…”

“Cough, cough, cough, cough!” Not only the thin-skinned Qin Ye but also Qin Zhou and Gui Ling’er started coughing violently.

Long Hu had grown assertive after her transformation, with her speech becoming fierce as well.

“What’s there to check,” Long Long shamefully backed down immediately, after all, so many people were around, he had to maintain a proper image, “Hu, I always believed you would smoothly pass the Tribulation, so there’s no need for a check.”

“Hmph.” Long Hu then gave him a “you’re useless” look.

Long Long was somewhat helpless.

Was this a matter of being useful or not?

Didn’t they see everyone was a bit uncomfortable?

If you want to be unrestrained, do it in private, not force-feed people public displays of affection, consider the impact, okay?

Long Hu, however, didn’t care.

She probably had been confined in the underwater palace for too long, and now that she was out, she wanted to cling to Long Long without paying attention to the others around…

Hmm?

Suddenly, she keenly noticed below that Gui Ling’er’s foot was extending towards Long Long’s leg, seemingly trying to sneakily kick him.

She felt annoyed inside.

The fluffy tail under her skirt tensed and then lashed out like a whip, retreating Gui Ling’er’s calf.

The little turtle was caught off guard, and with a start, retracted her leg, shrieking:

“A snake bit me!”

“What snake?” Everyone also stood up, searching the ground around them.

“It was just coiled around my calf just now!” Gui Ling’er was still shaken.

“It might not have been a snake,” said Long Hu with a twinkle in his eye and mischief in his voice.

“Maybe it was just a larger caterpillar.”

Gui Ling’er was so scared she broke out in goosebumps, a large shell swiftly appeared on her back, and then she started spinning frantically as if trying to ward off an unknown attack:

“Where?

Where is it?”

“Ah, it’s inside your neck!” Long Hu yelled mischievously.

“Long Long, save me!”

While everyone was roughhousing, someone suddenly pushed the door open from outside, it was the chieftain of the Azure Dragon Clan, Qin Beiwang.

His solemn gaze swept the room, and everyone fell silent.

“Long Hu, Long Long,” Qin Beiwang began to call names.

“Come out with me for a moment.”

——

“The Myriad Demon Royal Court’s summoning?” asked Long Long, astonished.

???g?.??

“Yes,” Qin Beiwang replied with a grave expression.

“And it’s an edict personally issued by Qi Weihuan.”

“Can we not go?” Long Hu timidly inquired.

Long Long and Qin Beiwang exchanged a speechless look.

“In name, Qi Weihuan is the joint monarch of all Demon Race,” Long Long patiently explained.

“Of course, that includes us from the Eastern State Dragon Clan.”

“Although in reality, the Qilin Clan can’t directly threaten the Dragon Clan, if we openly defy the order and refuse to go to the Central State Royal Court, it would be tantamount to declaring our discord with the Qilin to the world, which could bring us a lot of trouble.”

“Moreover, the Qilin Clan’s current focus may not be on becoming enemies with our Dragon Clan,” added Qin Beiwang.

“Everyone knows that the Feathered Clan of the South State is only temporarily subdued, and their peace with the Central State is still brittle.”

“At such a sensitive juncture, Qi Weihuan wouldn’t push us towards the South State, so don’t worry too much,” he reassured.

Upon hearing this, Long Hu reflected for a moment, and the unease on his face eased somewhat.

Long Long, however, was not so easily fooled.

After a brief pause, he turned to advise Qin Beiwang:

“Chieftain, although the likelihood of the Qilin Clan openly becoming our enemy is slim, Qi Weihuan’s attitude is unclear.

This visit to the Central State to see our sovereign should not be taken lightly.”

“Correct.” Qin Beiwang also highly regarded his judgment.

“This time, I’ll bring both the Great Elder and the Second Elder to escort you to the Central State Royal Court.”

The Great Elder and the Second Elder?

Long Long was secretly astounded.

These two elders were among the strongest in the Azure Dragon Clan, second only to the Ancestral Azure Dragon.

Taking these two Dragon Clan elders to the Central State was clearly meant to intimidate Qi Weihuan-warning him not to act rashly and cause embarrassment to both sides.

So, what was it that required the Dragon Clan to take such a firm stance and even to deploy two of its elders?

Long Long cast a sidelong glance at Long Hu, his thoughts heavy.

For instance…

attempting to lay claim to Immortal Rank bloodlines through arranged marriage?
