Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

“Xu Ming of Wu Kingdom greets Your Majesty.”

Looking at the woman before him, Xu Ming bowed and saluted.

To be honest, Xu Ming didn't know how the Heavenly Dao knew his preferences.

Because in Xu Ming's opinion, compared to Shi Xin, this Dragon Queen's beauty was just as stunning, with no clear distinction, just different kinds of beauty.

He even seemed to prefer the Dragon Queen's type more.

So, if he had to pick who was more beautiful, according to his own aesthetic, he would probably vote for the Dragon Queen.

Xu Ming felt it was likely the special love for rich women within his genes acting up?

After Xu Ming finished his greeting, the Dragon Queen didn't immediately turn her head to look at him, still gazing at the sea at a forty-five-degree angle.

Xu Ming followed the Dragon Queen's gaze, but there was clearly nothing there...

“What on earth is this Empress thinking?” Xu Ming was a little puzzled.

Time passed, second by second.

Xu Ming couldn't repeat that he had arrived, he could only continue waiting.

Although the Dragon Queen was tens of thousands of years old, she wasn't deaf or anything.

Not to mention, she was a cultivator in the Ascension Realm.

From the moment he stepped into this garden.

She probably already sensed his presence.

Xu Ming felt that the other party wasn't deliberately ignoring him or trying to give him a hard time, because there was no need for that, and it might even cause a diplomatic incident.

Even though the Wu Kingdom had only been established for 300 years, its strength was still not weak, and even the North Sea Dragon Palace couldn't truly underestimate it.

Not to mention that there were no real conflicts between the Wu Kingdom and the North Sea Dragon Palace.

Speaking of which, the woman with unparalleled beauty in front of him was already tens of thousands of years old.

But, well, a dragon being tens of thousands of years old was actually okay, because dragons basically don't die of old age.

According to common sense, the lifespan of a dragon is said to be one hundred thousand years.

However, the longer they live, especially after living for tens of thousands of years, the more likely they are to encounter tribulations.

If you survive, you can live even longer.

If you don't survive, then it's the end of the line.

These tribulations aren't ordinary tribulations like lightning tribulations, but various subtle crises.

So basically, very few dragons die of old age.

Most dragons fail to survive a major tribulation in their lives, and that's why they perish.

Then, after these True Dragons die and their bodies disappear, they will turn into spiritual energy and dissipate throughout the world, and then new snakes or dragons will evolve, and so on and so forth.

A full half-炷香 (zhuxiang - incense stick's burning time, roughly 30 minutes) passed.

A glint finally flashed in the Dragon Queen's pair of azure blue eyes, as if she had just woken up.

Xu Ming was even wondering if the Dragon Queen had just fallen asleep and just woke up now.

The Dragon Queen turned around, looking at Xu Ming.

When Xu Ming was looked at by the other party's pair of azure blue vertical pupils, Xu Ming suddenly felt a feeling of being seen through, from soul to body!

That kind of coercion even made his mind feel shaken.

Cold sweat couldn't help but break out on Xu Ming's forehead.

If Xu Ming hadn't gone through several system stat upgrades, and his ability to withstand pressure wasn't so strong, he would probably have knelt directly in front of the Dragon Queen.

Xu Ming felt that if he wasn't mistaken.

This was Dragon Might.

Not the kind of Imperial Dragon Might!

But a kind of pressure from a higher-level life form on a lower-level life form! This was completely a suppression from bloodline!

Fortunately, he was a human, not a demon, and had a stronger resistance to this kind of high-level bloodline suppression.

Otherwise, even with the system giving him stat points, he would probably have knelt in front of her just now.

“You are Xu Ming of the Wu Kingdom?” The Dragon Queen repeatedly sized up Xu Ming, as if searching for something.

Xu Ming nodded and said: “Yes, Your Majesty, it is truly our honor that the Wu Kingdom was invited by the North Sea Dragon Palace this time.”

The Dragon Queen nodded: “Not bad, as expected of a figure on the Azure Cloud Rankings, sharp sword energy, solid true energy, calm in the face of adversity, able to remain so calm in the face of My Dragon Might, only sweating a few drops, you are still the first.”

Xu Ming: “This subject is terrified.”

The Dragon Queen stood up, placed her hands in front of her body, and walked towards Xu Ming step by step.

“Raise your head, there is no need to be so polite.” The Dragon Queen stopped five meters away from Xu Ming.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Xu Ming raised his head.

Looking at the Dragon Queen's 1.8-meter height, Xu Ming felt that the other party was like 2.1 meters tall.

“Do you know why I summoned you here?” The Dragon Queen asked.

“I know.” Xu Ming said.

“Oh?” Xu Ming's answer aroused some interest in the Dragon Queen, “Then tell me, why did I summon you here?”

Xu Ming said truthfully, without hiding anything: “Your Majesty summoned me here only because I might be the reincarnation of the person in Your Majesty's heart, so those two people were sent to invite me before, but I didn't have any free time at the time, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

The Dragon Queen stared directly into Xu Ming's eyes: “You are straightforward, not as pretentious as others, pretending to be ignorant.”

Xu Ming slowly said: “Your Majesty is the Eternal Dragon Queen, no matter what I am thinking in my heart, it is all hidden from Your Majesty, since this is the case, then I will say it directly, there is no need to play any tricks in front of Your Majesty.”

The Dragon Queen calmly looked at Xu Ming:

“In these nearly ten thousand years, many people have come to this place, some know why they came here, and some don't.

But no matter which people they are, once they know that they may be the reincarnation of the person I am looking for, they will have a sense of pride in their hearts.

They think they are hiding it well, but in fact, I can clearly see the excitement in their eyes, that kind of expectation to ascend to the heavens in one fell swoop.

But you seem to be different.”

The Dragon Queen took another step forward, looking at Xu Ming at eye level: “You seem, not to care?”

Xu Ming smiled and took a step back, bowing and saluting: “Whether I am the person Your Majesty is looking for or not, I am me.”

The Dragon Queen blinked: “But if I say, if you are the person I am looking for, not only will I give you myself, but the billions of lives in the entire North Sea will be handed over to you to control?”

Xu Ming still shook his head: “Your Majesty is as beautiful as a celestial being, rare in the world, the North Sea territory is boundless, with tens of thousands of races, if one could possess both beauty and the world, that would be every man's dream, but I, do not aspire to this.

Moreover, I, will not be the person Your Majesty is looking for.”
