Banshee Family Training Record

He spoke casually, without elaborating on who the informant was or how many difficulties and obstacles they had encountered.

But this nonchalant demeanor only made the Dragon King of the Wei River feel that the young man before him was calm and collected, and that the power behind him was unfathomable: "It's really dangerous. It requires the right timing, location, and people. If you're not careful, Mr. Yun, you might also... Oh my god!"

He sighed repeatedly, his heart trembling, unable to control himself.

Beside him, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River was also infected by this emotion. He suddenly turned his head and said to a crab general behind him, "Go to my warehouse and fetch my Purple Gold Soft Armor!"

The crab general responded and left to carry out the order. He quickly returned, carrying a huge tray with a folded soft armor made of purple-gold silk thread, with barbs at the joints.

The spiritual energy on the armor was contained, and at first glance it seemed like an ordinary object. However, when Yun Chuan used the "Qi Observation Method" to take a look, he felt that the spiritual energy inside was surging and unstoppable. He immediately knew that this armor was no ordinary object and must be a rare and precious treasure in the world!

The Dragon Prince of the Wei River took the tray from the Crab General, carried it to Yun Chu'an, and said, "This precious armor was a gift from the Dragon King of the West Sea when I came of age. However, this armor is not really suitable for my fighting style, so it has been kept in the treasury and has never had the opportunity to be used."

"However, during the process of repelling the pursuers, I observed that Brother Yun is also skilled in close combat. This item is certainly more suitable for Brother Yun, so today, I present this item to Brother Yun to repay the life-saving grace of Brother Yun!"

He said with a sigh, and Yun Chu'an was surprised to hear the origin of the treasure armor. When he heard the rest, he quickly waved his hand and said politely, "No, no, no, you flatter me, Dragon Prince. This thing is so precious. It is a coming-of-age gift from the Dragon King of the West Sea. How can I accept it?"

The dragon prince insisted, "What's the point of keeping the precious armor gathering dust in my storehouse? Now that it has found the most suitable owner, the only way to give it to you is to not waste the West Sea Dragon King's good intentions!"

The old Dragon King nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this armor is indeed precious, but it is not as precious as my son's life. Mr. Yun, please accept it, otherwise, as his father, I will not be at peace."

Yun Chu'an declined three times before finally accepting the armor with reluctance. The dragon prince personally handed it to him with a tray, and then taught him the incantation to activate the armor.

Yun Chu'an took the armor, silently chanted an incantation, and the purple-gold soft armor flew up automatically and put on his body, instantly making him look radiant and noble.

His hard shoulder guards on both sides of his armor resembled flying clouds, the patterns carved on his chest guard resembled angry dragons, his slender waist was bound by a golden belt, and his two leg guards extended down to protect his thighs, making him look like an indestructible warrior.

Most importantly, there are the faint barbs on the surface of his armor. They may seem to pose no threat to cultivators, but if the armor is attacked, the spiritual energy on it will be activated, and it will automatically launch a fatal counterattack against the enemy!

A crowd gathered around Yun Chu'an, gazing at him in his armor, and were immediately captivated, exclaiming loudly, "Good, good, good!"

Although Hua Caiyan didn't say much, her eyes were glistening with tears as she looked at his dashing appearance, almost like stars in the sky.

The Dragon Prince of the Wei River looked him up and down, unable to contain his admiration: "Is this golden armor perhaps made just for you, Brother Yun!"

The old Dragon King's praise was the most exaggerated: "With this treasured armor, Boss Yun will surely become a renowned righteous martial god in our area one day!"

Yun Chu'an quickly waved his hand: "Not at all, Dragon King, you flatter me. There are so many talented people on both sides of the Wei River, how could I possibly be worthy of this title!"

Chapter 313 Choosing a Prince Consort?

The old Dragon King was about to say something when suddenly, a clear female voice came from outside: "Oh, who will be the next generation of war god who will guard the borders of my Great Jin Dynasty and eliminate evil?"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone in the Dragon Palace paled. They all recognized the voice – it was Princess Sheng Linglong of the Jin Kingdom!

Why is she here?

The old Dragon King's face immediately showed some panic. Ever since the princess appeared, he had been busy dealing with the powerful clans. Nothing major had happened when she came to the Dragon Palace last time, but he was still unsure whether the princess had truly spared him, or whether the Wei River Dragon Clan had gained her approval.

She came again today, which made the Dragon King's heart pound with anxiety.

The Dragon Prince of the Wei River looked confused. He had been imprisoned in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes for too long and was unaware that the princess had already arrived. Yun Chu'an, on the other hand, was not worried. After all, Sheng Linglong was now his ally.

Hua Caiyan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Looking at her lover, who was now looking handsome and extraordinary after receiving the precious armor, she suddenly felt a little scared.

The princess wouldn't see him like this and suddenly fall in love with him, then on a whim summon him to the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty to be her son-in-law, would she?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she was startled and quickly shook her head to dismiss it.

Just kidding, just kidding, how could that be? How could a princess choose a consort so hastily? No way, no way. Even if Yun Chu'an is a womanizer, he couldn't possibly win over a princess he barely sees every day...

She comforted herself in this way, and then everyone saw Sheng Linglong, dressed in gorgeous clothes, floating in from outside the Dragon Palace.

She still had her long, jet-black hair styled in a sheer bun, and wore an exquisite and elegant silver palace gown. A delicate sash with flowing tassels was wrapped around her waist. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and was exceptionally beautiful.

She stood on the crystal floor of the Dragon Palace, a smile on her face. Led by the Dragon King, everyone in the palace knelt on one knee before her, chanting in unison, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Sheng Linglong said, "No need for formalities, please rise."

Everyone stood up, and then the girl's gaze fell on Yun Chu'an first. Looking at his magnificent appearance in golden armor, her eyes curved into crescents, filled with undisguised admiration: "Not bad, not bad. If I were to choose a consort in the future, I would definitely look for such a handsome and talented man."

She was just being polite, but it made Hua Caiyan freeze instantly, her back breaking out in a cold sweat. She thought to herself, "This is bad. The wicked woman who wants to steal my man has appeared again."

Yun Chu'an's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong. He glanced to the side and saw that, sure enough, Hua Caiyan looked very nervous, her small hand silently grabbing his large hand, terrified.

He squeezed the girl's small hand to signal her not to be nervous, but unfortunately it had little effect.

Beside him, the Dragon King rose and said in a deep voice, "I wonder what brings Your Highness here?"

Sheng Linglong reluctantly turned her gaze away from Yun Chuan and looked at the Dragon King: "I was delighted to hear that the Dragon Prince of the Wei River was protected by the Dao Ancestor and rescued by a remarkable person. He has returned home today. I was curious about who this person was and when our Great Jin produced such a talent, so I came to see for myself."

As she spoke, she looked at Yun Chu'an and said, "I never expected that this person would be Mr. Yun, Boss Yun. Congratulations! This is truly a blessing from heaven for our Great Jin!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King's expression shifted, and he quickly pressed on, feigning ignorance: "Your Highness and Mr. Yun are already acquainted in private?"

Sheng Linglong said, "Of course."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, and the Dragon King followed, inviting her to sit down and then pouring tea and water for her.

The others sat down with her and listened to her elaborate story about how she learned about Yun Chu'an. Basically, Gao Tianci was a secret agent she sent out who discovered Yun Chu'an's talent, recommended him to her, and they formed a deep partnership. The two became acquainted, and now he has become the only designated supplier of Vajra Talismans for the royal family.

Of course, the memory of soaking in the hot springs with him in the Black Bull King's secret realm still keeps popping into her mind, but she glossed over it and didn't mention it at all.

Yun Chu'an listened intently, struggling to suppress his laughter, since he had known from the beginning who "Gao Tianci" really was. Fortunately, the Dragon King and the others were unaware of this. After hearing the princess's explanation, they could only sigh with emotion: "So that's how it is. It really is a coincidence!"

He sighed, and then Sheng Linglong smiled and said, "In that case, it is a rare coincidence and an inexplicable fate that we can gather here today."

She glanced around and then said, "These days, I have observed both banks of the Wei River and found that many powerful families are abusing their power and bullying others, showing no restraint, which has led to corruption and a lifeless atmosphere."

"Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to bring fresh blood and vitality to revitalize the banks of the Wei River. What do you think, Old Dragon King?"

The Dragon King of the Wei River hurriedly nodded: "Your Highness, you are wise!"

Princess Jin nodded slightly, then said, "In my opinion, Yun Chu'an is a very suitable candidate. He is courageous, knowledgeable, brave, and resourceful. Moreover, the Vajra Talismans he produces are the best choice for Qi Refining stage cultivators to protect their lives. These things should be sold to those who truly need them. Don't you think so?"

The Dragon King said, "Of course, not to mention that Yun Chu'an is also the benefactor who saved my son, and he can also provide such great help to the Qi Refining cultivators of Jin Kingdom. I will naturally do my best to help his talismans help more people!"

He spoke with great righteousness, but in fact, he was extremely nervous in front of the princess.

Seeing that he knew what was good for him, Sheng Linglong nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Yun Chuan and said, "Gao Tianci strongly recommended you to me, but after seeing you today, you are even more outstanding than he described."

"I admire you, Yun Chu'an. From now on, keep up the good work!"

Yun Chu'an's expression was subtle. He nodded and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Princess. I will certainly work harder to contribute to the prosperity of our Great Jin!"

Beside her, Hua Caiyan exchanged pleasantries with her. The group continued to drink tea and chat in the Dragon Palace, enjoying themselves immensely.

After chatting for a while, it was almost time to leave. Sheng Linglong got up to say goodbye, and the Dragon King hurriedly got up to see her off.

Yun Chu'an also got up to see her off. Sheng Linglong didn't let the Dragon King follow, but when Yun Chu'an saw her off, she changed her attitude: "Alright, come with me. Let's walk together and talk about your business on the way."

She seemed unwilling to let Yun Chuan stay with the Dragon King's family in private for too long. Yun Chuan had already sensed this, but he didn't say much. He nodded slightly and followed her footsteps, arriving outside the Dragon Palace with her.

Hua Caiyan followed, and the three of them surfaced together, returning to the surface of Wei Lake, and then headed into the mountains together.

As they moved further away from human habitation, the number of cultivators around them dwindled. Sheng Linglong slowed her pace and suddenly stopped in a grove of trees. She turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and smiled charmingly: "Well done, you've really made something of yourself. In just a few days, you've managed to rescue the Weihe Dragon Prince, whom so many people couldn't save."

Her tone was very natural, as if the two were old friends who had known each other for a long time, even though in reality they had only met twice.

The truth is, she had already developed a very deep friendship with Yun Chu'an when she was still playing the role of "Gao Tianci". One cannot wear a mask forever. Now that no one was around, she naturally relaxed her acting and showed that intimate attitude.

Yun Chuan said, "It was just a fluke. Now that I think about it, I'm still scared."

This is the truth, and he just said it in the Dragon Palace. The princess already knows how he brought the dragon prince out.

Chapter 314 Stay Away from Wild Women!

However, these words did not satisfy the princess. With a smile in her eyes, she walked up to him and poked his arm: "From now on, you'll have production, and the Dragon King will have the market. If you two join forces, you'll be the local tyrants, won't you?"

Her relaxed demeanor and intimate gestures made Hua Caiyan nervous. Yun Chu'an, however, broke out in a cold sweat, thinking she was giving him a warning. He quickly lowered his head and cupped his hands, saying, "Princess, please don't say that. As a citizen of Jin, I was born to be loyal to the Great Jin. There can only be one sun in the sky, and in my heart, there will always be only the Duke of Jin!"

Sheng Linglong rolled her eyes, suddenly feeling bored: "I was just joking with you, why are you..."

Yun Chu'an carefully observed her expression: "Princess, you shouldn't praise an honest person like that."

As he spoke, he bowed his head and clasped his hands, adopting a posture that distanced himself from her.

Hua Caiyan was extremely satisfied with this performance. She nodded slightly, thinking to herself, "That's right. You have several wives already, so you should keep your distance from other women."

Stop flirting all the time!

She smiled, her heart pounding with joy, but Sheng Linglong was filled with displeasure, finding the man before her utterly boring.

However, she could understand that the difference in their status was too great. She was a princess of a country and might become the Duke of Jin in the future; while he was just a son-in-law of an ordinary family in the countryside. Although he was upright and capable, he could not compare with her status.

Given such a huge disparity in their social status, it's understandable that he was awkward and dared not joke.

Sheng Linglong couldn't help but reminisce about the time when she was still playing Gao Tianci. Back then, the two of them got along so well, and they could joke around with each other. If Yun Chuan angered her, he would not hesitate to physically assault her.

Just like that day, in that hot spring...

She couldn't help but reminisce about the carefree days of the past, yet felt that those days were gone forever. Her spirits dampened, and she lost the desire to continue teasing him. She continued, "One day, you and the Dragon King of the Wei River will both be important ministers of my Jin Kingdom. This place borders an enemy state and is the frontier of my Great Jin. I cannot stay here all day; in the future, all of this will depend on you."

Yun Chu'an looked flattered and repeatedly said he was ashamed and couldn't accept such great praise. Sheng Linglong, trying to suppress her boredom, continued, "If I say you have it, then you have it. Don't refuse any longer."

Yun Chu'an then said no more, while the princess of Jin remained silent for a while before suddenly saying, "Be careful of the people of Zhao."

Suddenly, his expression shifted: "Hmm? Has the Zhao state made any moves recently?"

Sheng Linglong nodded and said, "Yes, the Zhao Kingdom has begun to send spies into these mountains, some of whom have even come to Weihu Market. Some time ago, Prime Minister Ge captured one of them, and after torturing him, he learned that they came to gather intelligence."

“I asked my father to question the King of Zhao, but the latter replied that it was a private feud between some border families and the Yellow Python Demon Clan. These guys entered the border of my Jin Kingdom for revenge, and it was inconvenient for them to interfere. Ha, it’s all just empty talk. Who can’t guess what their purpose is in invading the border of my Jin Kingdom?”

She raised her eyebrows, let out a cold laugh, and spoke of one of the culprits who had once divided her country and made the once mighty Jin state so weak. Her heart was filled with uncontrollable hatred.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an's expression shifted. He looked up and secretly observed the princess, sensing that she held a much stronger grudge against the Zhao Kingdom than against the Huang Mang family.

After all, she had been here for several months, but she had not made any move against the Huang Mang family. On the contrary, whenever the Zhao Kingdom made a slight move, this girl seemed to react with anger.

These differences in attitude even made Yun Chu'an feel a little absurd. But he didn't say much, just nodded and said, "I understand, Your Highness. I will be careful to guard against the guests from Zhao."

He said those things, but only he knew what he was really thinking.

Sheng Linglong had lost interest in continuing their casual conversation and jokes, and waved for him to leave. Yun Chu'an led Hua Caiyan away by the hand, and saw that the girl was beaming with joy, her good mood clearly evident.

Yun Chu'an completely relaxed at this moment, took her small hand, and asked softly, "How was it? Were you happy today? Was the Dragon Palace beautiful?"

"It's beautiful," Hua Caiyan said with a smile. "But what makes me even happier is your performance."

Yun Chu'an raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Is that so? Don't I look especially handsome in that purple-gold soft armor?"

Hua Caiyan raised her small fist and lightly punched his side: "No, I mean, your attitude when you faced the Princess of Jin."

She raised her small face, squinted her eyes, and said with a grin, "That's how it should be. Keep your distance from her. You absolutely can't let those wicked women who lust after you get close to you!"

Yun Chuan looked away sheepishly: "Haha, of course. After all, what kind of status does she have? Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. I'm afraid that one day I might accidentally offend her and bring disaster upon myself."

He dared not say that he and the princess had already been intimate, not only bathing naked in the same hot spring, but also touching each other's bodies, and even that the princess had helped him ejaculate, directly into her mouth...

The thought that if Hua Caiyan found out about this, the little fox would definitely have an emotional outburst, made him decide not to say another word. He took her little hand and turned to go home: "Let's go back, there are still many things waiting for us to deal with!"

Although he escaped from the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes with the Dragon Prince of the Wei River, it brought many troubles afterward. Whether the Diao brothers were dead or not, what to do next, and whether the Field Mouse Clan should continue to hide in the Yellow Python Clan's territory were all things that needed to be considered.

The conflict between the powerful families on both sides of the Wei River and the Huang Mang family has gradually evolved and escalated into a conflict between the states of Jin and Zhao. Before the real storm arrives, he must make careful preparations in order to protect himself in the future storm.

The sun had risen to the very center of the sky and was slowly setting in the west. Yun Chu'an led Hua Caiyan home by the hand, wondering how long this peaceful time would last…

However, unlike Yun Chu'an, who could still enjoy a period of peace and tranquility, at this moment, the snake demon family in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave was shrouded in gloom and despair.

The defeat against the Black Bull family had already shaken the morale of their ranks, and now, even worse news was on its way.

On the other side of the mountain, the Zhao Kingdom was gathering its forces. Countless Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators were assembling, preparing to enter the mountain and completely annihilate their family.

Moreover, according to reliable sources, the Princess of Jin is also gathering forces on the Wei River. When the high-level cultivators of both countries mobilize simultaneously, attacking from both sides, the Huang Mang family will inevitably be overwhelmed, and their defeat seems inevitable!

Something must be done to change this terrible fate!

Deep within the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, rows of giant snakes, each a thousand meters long, sat coiled up, their eyes, like the sun, gazing at each other.

They were all giant snakes at the Golden Core stage, and at this moment, anger and tension burned within them. Their clan was once again on the brink of life and death, and they had no choice but to fight with all their might.

“We cannot fight against the punitive forces of two countries at the same time,” a giant snake said. “We must concentrate our forces first and cripple one of them.”

“Agreed.” The other large snake flicked its tongue and said, “Moreover, I propose that we attack the Zhao allied forces first.”

Chapter 315 Fourth Sister's Hands-on Instruction

"The reason?" the third giant snake asked.

“We are more familiar with them,” the giant snake said. “We basically know all the Golden Core experts from Zhao, so as long as we do our best and spare no expense, we can quickly defeat them, cripple and frighten them, and make them temporarily afraid to fight us to the death. In this way, we can have enough time to recuperate and recover, and then slowly deal with the Jin army’s expeditionary force.”

"In comparison, the Jin army is more troublesome. We do not know them, nor are we familiar with their methods, styles, habits and weaknesses. Similarly, they are not familiar with us, so they will be cautious in their actions, thus prolonging the war. The longer it drags on, the more the two armies can encircle us, and the more unfavorable the situation becomes."
