Twisted Dreams-Chapter 369 - 437: The Dragon King’s Deal
The administrators, mostly coming from a military background, naturally have impressive drinking capacity.
As the drinks flowed, the relationship between the administrators and the Sea Race grew closer.
Alcohol, no matter where, is something that quickly enhances emotions.
As they drank, the Whale Bird pretended to be drunk, using the influence of alcohol to ask the questions it most wanted to know.
Why can you drink alcohol in the sea?
Why can you breathe underwater?
Why can humans walk on the seabed without being forced to float?
If these questions can be understood, they would be of great use in the cultural development of the Security Administration’s extraordinary culture.
Finally, the Whale Bird cautiously said:
"The Dragon King’s might is beyond imagination, and it must have been used to build the undersea city.
If this question involves the Dragon King’s secrets, then I’m being talkative, and I should be punished with three more cups!"
The Little Dragon King grinned and said:
"I like the title Dragon King, but I have a name, I am called Ao Guang.
Meaning, the vast universe is open for me to roam."
Who doesn’t like hearing compliments?
The Whale Bird’s flattery made the Little Dragon King quite pleased.
The Whale Bird widened its eyes.
Ao Guang?
Isn’t that the name of the legendary leader of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang?!
Could it be that this Little Dragon King is the mythical one?
The Little Dragon King continued:
"In fact, the wonders of this undersea world weren’t created."
The Whale Bird and administrators were stunned together.
The extraordinary feats of the undersea world weren’t created by the Dragon King?
Then, what is the mystery of this undersea world?
The Little Dragon King’s eyes revealed nostalgia:
"After I was born, the first emotion I had in the ocean was loneliness.
I was too lonely, too isolated, so I created the Sea Race.
However, the cultivation of the Sea Race was too low, and they couldn’t speak with me in the water.
Moreover, the sea beasts were too fierce, posing a threat to the low-cultivation Sea Race, and I couldn’t protect them all the time.
I wanted the Sea Race to converse with me, and to have a home like humans.
I considered letting the Sea Race live on small islands, but they couldn’t stay away from water for too long.
The ocean wasn’t suitable for the Sea Race, and neither was the land.
In my search within the vast ocean, one day by chance, I discovered this place.
Then, I built the Dragon Palace and led the Sea Race to construct the undersea city."
This is the origin of the undersea city.
When the Little Dragon King spoke of being born, it was actually just a few years ago.
Yet, to the ears of the administrators, it seemed as though the Little Dragon King was born before the Tang Dynasty.
The administrators began to reminisce.
In ancient times, the lonely Dragon King created the Sea Race.
The Dragon King found this magical place for the Sea Race to survive, leaving behind various legends of the Dragon Palace in Xia Country’s history.
The Whale Bird pondered.
If this was not created by the Dragon King, then what is it?
Could it be the legendary Immortal Cave Heaven? Naturally formed like Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave?
The Whale Bird secretly glanced at the Little Dragon King, feigning a sigh:
"It turned out to be like this, I am filled with even more respect and curiosity towards this undersea world.
If only humans could come here to visit.
Because humans are a species with a strong spirit of exploration towards nature."
He wanted the Security Administration to conduct a survey here, to study its secrets.
Of course, this required the approval of this oceanic overlord.
Although naive, the Little Dragon King wasn’t foolish; he glanced slyly at the Whale Bird:
"I welcome you to visit here, but I won’t allow free exploration; I’ll consider you as invaders."
The Whale Bird listened to the Little Dragon King’s blatantly threatening words, and chuckled awkwardly.
The Little Dragon King crossed his legs:
"I am not sure how this magical sea area was formed, but I seem to have found the owner of this sea area."
The Whale Bird’s pupils contracted.
The owner of this sea area?
The Little Dragon King continued, throwing out a tempting line:
"When I first arrived here, I found two corpses.
I think one of these corpses may be the original owner of this sea area.
If you want them, I can give them to you.
But, there needs to be a deal."
The Whale Bird fixed its gaze on the Little Dragon King:
"What do you want?"
If he could obtain those two corpses and hand them over to the Security Administration’s research institute, it would certainly be a major achievement for him.
Even if those two corpses were not the owners of this sea area, they would still be ancient extraordinaries, which would be of great significance to the Security Administration!
The Little Dragon King spoke solemnly:
"If you humans agree to help me have children, I will give you the corpses."
An administrator almost choked on his drink.
A seven or eight-year-old boy saying such things, it was truly, truly too bizarre!
The Whale Bird felt a headache, and awkwardly said:
"You mean, you want us to provide human women to you? This... this...."
Could the Dragon King hear himself talking?!
How could the Security Administration possibly do something as outrageous as offering women to a demon?!
Do you think this is the feudal period, where women have no rights?
The Little Dragon King shook his head:
"With so many beautiful Sea Race women, why would I need humans?
Humans are so weak, even if they bear children with me, my descendants would be very weak."
The Whale Bird asked in confusion:
"Then what is it?"
The Little Dragon King’s eyes showed sadness, speaking wistfully:
"The Sea Races I’ve led all have offspring.
Yet I, as the Dragon King, have no heirs.
I too want a house full of children and grandchildren, a joyful family!"
The Little Dragon King looked at the Whale Bird, speaking softly:
"The Turtle Prime Minister said that you humans are the smartest.
If humans can help me figure out how to have children, I’ll give you those two corpses."
The Little Dragon King spoke with a face full of longing, his eyes eager:
"No, you don’t have to give me a solution right now.
As long as you promise to help me have children, I’ll give you the corpses.
I really, really want to be a father!"
The Whale Bird’s headache worsened.
If a dragon can’t have children, what can humans do?
Could it be reproductive isolation, that a mother dragon is needed for a dragon to have children?
But where would he find a mother dragon?
How about I call you Dad?
But, the temptation of those two corpses is just too great.
Should I make a promise for now? Get the corpses first and deal with it later?
The Whale Bird, with braced nerves, said:
"Alright, our Security Administration has many biologists, who will definitely find a way to help you have children."
The Little Dragon King beamed:
"Alright, that’s what you said.
I’ll give you one year; if there’s no news after a year..."
The Little Dragon King’s gaze turned fierce:
"I will flood all the human villages, towns, and cities near this sea!"
The Whale Bird swallowed, gritting his teeth:
"Alright, then one year! You just need to give me a drop of blood!"
Why request dragon blood?
First, to breed a dragon, you’d definitely need some DNA, right?
Second, dragon blood should be very precious and has high research value.
The Little Dragon King, not hesitating, drained a wine jug of its contents, tore off a piece of scale, filled the jug with blood, and tossed it to the Whale Bird.
