Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 427 Listen to Xu Ming (4000 words)
On the second day after Xu Ming left the prison, the cave where Ao Jin was imprisoned was opened again.

Xiao Lan came in with a few servants.

Just as Xu Ming said, someone came to take Ao Jin out soon.

Xiao Lan asked the servants around him to take off the handcuffs on Ao Jin's hands, threw him a set of clean clothes, and took Ao Jin to a place to take a bath.

After Ao Jin finished taking a shower and changing his clothes, Xiao Lan led Ao Jin to the Dragon Palace.

Entering the imperial study, Ao Jin met Queen Dragon and Xu Ming.

"The criminal Ao Jin pays homage to His Majesty."

Ao Jin knelt down on both knees in front of the Dragon Queen in the imperial study, showing great respect.

Kneeling on both knees, this is a etiquette that the dragon clan has never had before.

The Dragon Queen just glanced at Ao Jin indifferently.

"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Xu Ming. If it weren't for Xu Ming, you would have died in prison."

Ao Jin glanced at Xu Ming, then his gaze returned to the Dragon Queen. He slowly said, "Lord Xu, I am naturally very grateful for your help in pleading for me, but the most important thing is your magnanimity, the Dragon Queen."

"Okay, do you think I can really pardon you just by saying this? Since we have already reached a deal, there is no need to be so hypocritical."

The Dragon Queen did not give Ao Jin any face.

In the eyes of the Queen Dragon, Ao Jin was already a dead man. If Xu Ming had not wanted him to live, Ao Jin would have been executed by now.

However, as Xu Ming said, if Ao Jin was allowed to live and control the East China Sea, and then Ao Jin would be a puppet of the North Sea, it would indeed be more cost-effective than killing him.

Not to mention that Ao Jin has been deceived by Mount End, his father is dead, and the East China Sea is in chaos. Ao Jin must hate Mount End to the core.

Ao Jin wished he could cut those people from Mount End into pieces.

Therefore, Ao Jin’s enemies and Beihai completely overlap.

"You know what to do next, right?"

The Dragon Queen asked Ao Jin in a cold tone.

"clearly."

Since the Dragon Queen said so, Ao Jin naturally didn't say anything nonsense.

Ao Jin opened his mouth, and a soul and a spirit flew out of his mouth.

This soul broke and formed into a little dragon which flew to the Dragon Queen.

The Dragon Queen took out a lamp from her hand, and then under the guidance of the Dragon Queen's spell, the soul fell into the lamp and formed a flame.

Ao Jin's soul and spirit were controlled by the Dragon Queen, forming this bright lamp.

The Dragon Queen can also kill Ao Jin at any time through this lamp.

"Alright, it's done. You can just leave now. You will return to the East China Sea tomorrow. I will also assist you in becoming the Lord of the East China Sea. It will be useless for your other brothers to have any objections."

The Dragon Queen looked at Ao Jin with an annoyed look on her face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ao Jin, with a pale face, kowtowed, then stood up and walked out of the imperial study.

The first thing Ao Jin did after leaving the imperial study was to go to the courtyard where he and his sister lived.

My sister is being imprisoned in that courtyard, and I want to go see if she is safe.

At the same time, in the courtyard, Ao Yin'er was still sitting on the stone bench, looking up at the quiet underwater sky.

During these days, Ao Yin'er has thought about many things.

But Ao Yin'er just couldn't understand why her brother and father had to collude with Mount End?

Her father was dead and her brother was about to be executed, but Ao Yin'er didn't have any resentment towards Beihai except sadness.

Because it's a matter of course.

It was only natural that his brother and father should be executed for what they did. The only person he should hate was Mount Zhongyan.

Ao Yin'er wanted to avenge her father and brother, but she didn't know how to do it.

Even Ao Yin'er didn't know whether she could return to the East China Sea, and whether the East China Sea would still be her home after returning to the East China Sea.

"Yin'er."

Just when Ao Yin'er was thinking about it, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.

Ao Yin'er turned her head and when she saw her brother standing at the gate of the yard, her eyes lit up instantly.

"elder brother……"

Ao Yin'er stood up and looked at her brother blankly.

Ao Yin'er even wondered if she had seen it wrong?
Shouldn't my brother have been executed long ago? Why is he here?

Could this be the soul of my brother?
But after looking carefully, Ao Yin'er did not see that the other party was in the transparent state of spirit.

It was indeed his brother standing in front of him alive, and his vigorous blood was the best proof.

"Brother, why did you come out? Didn't the Dragon Queen kill you?"

Ao Yin'er walked forward and looked at her brother, not knowing what had happened.

"I was originally going to die, but in the end Xu Ming came to see me in prison." Ao Jin explained.

"Xu Ming?" Ao Yin'er blinked, not understanding what her brother said. "Why would Xu Ming go to see my brother?"

Ao Jin was not in a hurry and slowly explained to his sister:

"When Xu Ming came to the prison to find me, he told me a condition for me to live, and that condition was..."

Ao Jin told his sister everything that happened in prison, without hiding anything.

For Ao Jin, this sister is his only relative.

Although there are some other brothers in the East China Sea.

But those brothers are half-sisters, and only this biological sister with the same father and mother does Ao Jin feel truly close to.

"That means that you, brother, have the support of the North Sea, and you will go to the East Sea to inherit the throne, and then the entire East Sea will be loyal to the North Sea, right?"

Ao Yin'er understood what her brother said.

"Is such that."

Ao Jin looked at his sister with heavy eyes.

"I know you look down on me, Yin'er, but other than that, I really have no other choice. Zhongyan Mountain betrayed me and my father, causing the people of the East Sea to suffer. I must avenge this vengeance!"

When mentioning Mount End, Ao Jin's eyes were filled with hatred.

Ao Yin'er shook her head: "How could I look down on my brother? And in Yin'er's heart, I actually wanted to avenge my father. I believe that my brother and father must have listened to the instigation of Zhongyan Mountain at that time, so they did these things, right?"

Ao Jin raised his head and looked at his sister's innocent eyes. For a moment, Ao Jin didn't know what to say.

Zhongyan Mountain did offer Donghai a lot of conditions, but this could not be called bewitching. It could only be said that both sides were motivated by interests, but what they did not expect was that Zhongyan Mountain actually did such a thing in the end and killed his own father.

Ao Jin touched his sister's long hair and sighed, "Yin'er, you don't have to worry about what happened these days. It has nothing to do with you.

I also know that you are very sad, Yin'er.

But Yin'er, you have to look forward, and I'm still your brother.

You just have to live your life well.

I will come to avenge the blood feud of the East Sea, and I will set out tomorrow."

"Then I'll go back with my brother and pack my things."

Having said that, Ao Yin'er turned around and walked towards the study.

"Need not."

Ao Jin grabbed his sister in time.

"Yin'er, listen to me, you don't have to go back with me."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Why?" Ao Yin'er couldn't understand it.

"Because everything I am going to do next will be beyond your imagination, and you don't need to bear or face all of this. All you have to do is grow up well, that's all. Do you understand?" Ao Jin reminded him again.

In Ao Jin's heart, he absolutely could not let his sister follow him back to the East China Sea.

In the eyes of her younger sister, Donghai’s brothers are all very good people.

Her other brothers also took great care of her.

But in fact it is not the case.

Her brothers were nice to Yin'er simply because Yin'er would not compete with them for the throne.

It was also because of Yin'er that she was deeply loved by her father.

If they try to please Yin'er, they are naturally trying to please their father indirectly.

In fact, the princes of the East China Sea were secretly fighting each other to the death.

After returning to the East China Sea this time, with the support of the Dragon Queen, he will compete with his other half-brothers.

Many people will die by then, and I don’t want Yin’er to see this scene.

It would be fine if Yin'er didn't know anything and could live a safe and healthy life. She didn't need to bear those heavy things.

Seeing his sister's puzzled expression, Ao Jin continued to persuade her: "Yin'er, don't you still want to go to the land to play? You can go to the land now, and when Mr. Xu returns to Wu State, you can go with him. There will be absolutely no problem.

Really, you really can't go back with your brother.

Donghai really has a lot of things for his brother to do and deal with.

I'm really worried that you might get into an accident in Donghai. After you've had some fun for a few years and Donghai is stable, I'll come pick you up, okay?"

Ao Yin'er lowered her head and thought seriously for a while, then raised her head and looked at her elder brother: "Brother, can't I go with you?"

"I'm sorry, Yin'er, things are going to be really troublesome next. I definitely don't think you're a burden, but I really want to protect you. You're the only relative I have in the world, and I really don't want to see anything happen to you again." Ao Jin sighed and said earnestly.

Finally, Ao Yin'er nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will take good care of myself."

"That's good!"

In the courtyard, Ao Jin talked to his sister for a long time, including some etiquette that should be observed if going to land.

If my sister stays in the East China Sea, then I should just stay in the imperial capital and not go out.

Finally, Ao Jin gave some of his magic weapons to his sister and asked her to carry them with her.

He chatted with his sister for a long time, until the next morning, when several maids from the North Sea came over and wanted to take Ao Jin to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

Ao Jin stood up and looked at his sister with a smile:
"Brother, I'm leaving soon, remember what I told you.

Also remember, if you are in the East China Sea, you must listen to the Dragon Queen and do whatever she tells you to do.

And if you want to go on land, then you should listen to Xu Ming.

Brother, I don’t like humans, but Xu Ming is an upright person.

"Except for Xu Ming and the Dragon Queen, don't listen to anyone else, got it?"

"I understand, brother." Ao Yin'er nodded, her eyes shaking, as if she was about to cry.

Ao Jin took one last look at his sister, turned around and followed the two maids from the Dragon Palace out.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Ao Yin'er watched her brother gradually move away.

When her brother completely disappeared from her sight, Ao Yin'er slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Your brother has finished talking to you."

When Ao Yin'er was about to return to the courtyard, Xu Ming's voice came.

Ao Yin'er turned around and saw Xu Ming coming towards her.

Ao Yin'er nodded: "We're done talking. Thank you, Xu Ming, for convincing the Queen Dragon. Otherwise, my brother would have lost his life."

"Don't thank me. The reason your brother is still alive is because he is more useful dead than alive."

When Xu Ming said this, it could already be described as inhumane.

But Ao Yin'er didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Xu Ming's words.

On the contrary, she was still grateful to Xu Ming.

Because that Majesty actually doesn't need his own brother to control the East China Sea.

Now that the East China Sea is leaderless, it would be no problem for His Majesty to support his other brothers.

"What about you? Your brother has already gone to the East China Sea. What are you going to do next? Your brother should have told you that you cannot go to the East China Sea, right?" Xu Ming continued to ask.

Ao Yin'er nodded: "My brother told me not to worry about anything, I just need to take care of myself."

"That's true. There are many things that you can't bear, nor can you solve. You just need to take care of yourself. Does your brother have anything else to say to you?"

"Brother said that I can stay in the North Sea Dragon Palace or go to Wu Kingdom with you. Everything depends on my opinion. And I can't listen to anyone else except you and the Dragon Queen." Ao Yin'er continued.

Xu Ming frowned and thought for a moment: "Did your brother tell you about your physical condition?"

"Constitution? What constitution?" Ao Yin'er tilted her head, and her silly and cute look showed that she knew nothing.

“In fact, there is a very important reason why you cannot go to land, and that is that you are a sea spirit.

The body of the sea spirit has a certain summoning ability for the sea creatures, and the speed of cultivation and the quality of the realm in the sea will be much higher than that of ordinary people.

Only when you have naturally cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage can you set foot on land, so as not to destroy your sea spirit body.

You can go to Wu State with me.

However, if you step onto land now, your sea spirit body will most likely be affected, so are you sure you want to do this?"
