580 The Uncle Dragon Emperor is Me!

Qing Cang Palace.

A portly middle-aged man was nestled in his garden, jade and gemstone-inlaid scissors in hand. He hunched over, meticulously pruning the flower bed before him.

Each of the plants was a rarity, some even classified as extinct. Yet, they thrived vibrantly within the confines of his few hundred square meters plot. šŸš«eeweš—Æš§šš˜veš„.cšš˜šš–

Prince Qing Cang, upon finishing with one plant, patted his belly contentedly. ā€œNot bad, not bad,ā€ he mumbled, humming a little melody as he strolled towards the next plant.

The peculiar flowers and herbs in his garden had cost him hundreds of thousands of gold taels. As for the mother qi soil that nurtured these plants, he had spent two-thirds of his wealth acquiring it.

ā€œYour Highness, another letter has arrived from the capital and Prince Bai Liu,ā€ a guard reported, approaching Prince Qing Cang.

ā€œWhat are they up to now?ā€ Prince Qing Cang frowned, glancing at his trusted aide and godson, Long Pingā€™an. ā€œTake a look at me. Do I appear capable of murdering Imperial Uncle Wushuang, who has support from six clans and three sects, with a single punch?ā€ As Prince Qing Cang spoke, he patted his belly angrily. The skin and flesh that could support a boat instantly stirred up a ripple of waves.

ā€œIsnā€™t it common knowledge what level I was at when I was in the palace? Iā€™ve merely leveraged the resources of the dragon clan to reach this fifth-level visceral prefecture realm.ā€ He continued, ā€œIā€™ve spent all these years in the residence, not amassing an army nor flaunting power. Iā€™m just a simple, idle prince tending to flowers and plants!ā€

Prince Qing Cangā€™s cynical laughter echoed around the garden, leaving his godson, Long Pingā€™an, with a bitter smile. The latter had witnessed Prince Qing Cangā€™s conduct over the years. However, the outside world refused to believe that such a respected prince could be devoid of ambition at the brink of a world collapse.

ā€œThe patriarch of the Qiong family, Qiong Mou, is here for a visit!ā€ A robust voice rang from outside the gate, causing Prince Qing Cangā€™s expression to shift. He turned and headed towards the entrance.

Before he could reach there, the formidable overlord of the Barren State, Qiong Mou, barged into his residence.

ā€œPatriarch Qiong, itā€™s inappropriate to intrude into the imperial residence like this,ā€ Long Pingā€™an remarked, his expression darkening.

ā€œInappropriate? Then why did you seal off my Qiong Qi clanā€™s base and massacre all my elders?ā€ Qiong Mou countered, his eyes narrowed. He neither had the time nor the inclination to maintain formalities with Prince Qing Cang.

ā€œIā€™m at a loss, Patriarch Qiong. I have no idea what youā€™re implying,ā€ Prince Qing Cang answered, his face a mask of confusion as he stared at Qiong Mou.

ā€œPrince, thereā€™s no need for pretense. Iā€™m being quite straightforward,ā€ Qiong Mou stated urgently. ā€œIf you have any terms, speak them now.ā€

He was in a rush due to the ever-changing war situation in the east. A single misstep could spell disaster for the Qiong Qi clan. Everyone in the Great You was aware of the oddities surrounding the Sacred Heart Sect.

Also, the six royal clans had their own agendas, and it was unclear whether the three sects, the single sect, or the other six clans were their deadliest enemies. Qiong Mou wouldnā€™t have risked coming here if the matter regarding the spirit world hadnā€™t been of paramount importance.

ā€œI genuinely have no idea what youā€™re talking about. No one from my Qing Cang Palace has meddled with your Qiong Qi clanā€™s base,ā€ Prince Qing Cang declared, feigning innocence, though his mind whirled with questions. Was the Qiong Qi clan using the imminent collapse of the structure as a ploy to extort him? Or were they trying to find a valid excuse for their future machinations?

ā€œSo, we have nothing to discuss?ā€ Qiong Mou retorted sarcastically. The flowing rainbow dragon scaly armor was an undeniable proof.

If Prince Qing Cang wasnā€™t involved, was it the young emperor? The palace inhabitants were constantly on edge, focusing on self-preservation. Why would they agitate the Qiong Qi clan unprovoked?

Qiong Mou glanced at a corner, spotting a little girl hiding behind a pillar. She matched the description provided by the grand elder. It had to be them!

ā€œIf thereā€™s nothing to discuss, then thereā€™s nothing to discuss,ā€ Prince Qing Cang replied coldly.

ā€œFine. Weā€™ll settle this once the situation in the east stabilizes and the imperial palaceā€™s support wanes,ā€ Qiong Mou warned, his rage intensifying upon observing Prince Qing Cangā€™s reaction.

ā€œGreat! I look forward to it,ā€ Prince Qing Cang replied, sighing.

Qiong Mouā€™s sudden departure left only the flustered servants and the infuriated Prince Qing Cang. Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, the prince said, ā€œIt seems I must devise an escape plan. Pingā€™an, get things ready.ā€

ā€œUnderstood.ā€ Long Pingā€™an bowed slightly before vanishing from the scene.

ā€¦

In the spirit world, Qin Huai waited an entire day, but no one from the Qiong Qi clan appeared.

ā€œIt seems theyā€™ve temporarily given up on the spirit world,ā€ the little girl remarked, dusting herself off. ā€œI didnā€™t expect it to conclude so swiftly and effortlessly.ā€

Her mind was still reeling from the suddenness of it all. She had anticipated a drawn-out chase, a battle of attrition. However, their opponent was stopped at their doorstep.

Most importantly, she couldnā€™t resist asking, ā€œAre you from the Kun Peng clan or the dragon clan?ā€

ā€œDragon clan,ā€ Qin Huai answered without hesitation. ā€œActually, Iā€™m that Uncle Dragon Emperor!ā€

If he could claim the identity of the enigmatic Uncle Dragon Emperor, heā€™d gladly do so.
