Dragon's Origin

“Blocking is inferior to dredging?” Song Yan was such a clever woman that she understood the meaning of these four words almost instantly. Even if the story of Yu the Great controlling the floods had never happened in this world, she understood everything from the literal meaning.

“That’s not a bad attitude.” After pondering for a while, Song Yan seemed to have realized something: “I’ll think about it carefully when I get back.”

Not making a statement on the spot is sometimes a cautious way of acting as a superior. This time, Song Yan used it on Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng didn’t care, anyway, he wasn’t the one who would be risking his life. Song Yan could think whatever she wanted.

“No!” Song Yan suddenly understood and asked Wang Sheng suspiciously, “After saying so much, are you trying to pave the way for yourself through my mouth?”

Wang Sheng had been talking about letting Song Yan form a fixed mindset, that there was no need to worry about other families having experts, and that they could train experts who could compete. It seemed like he was paving the way for himself.

It should be known that Wang Sheng had almost offended all the forces in the world before. Which force didn’t have someone die at Wang Sheng’s hands? It could be said that once the matter of the Thousand Absolutes Land was over, the major families would turn around and settle the score with Wang Sheng.

Originally, someone would have settled the score when Wang Sheng left the capital last time. However, Wang Sheng’s casual words, coupled with the fact that the secret of the Thousand Absolutes Land had not yet been solved, allowed the various parties to tolerate it. Now that Wang Sheng said this, it really had the suspicion of using Song Yan to spread this idea.

“I’m not invincible yet!” Wang Sheng couldn’t help but laugh: “To pave the way, at least I have to be invincible and make you all afraid, right?”

“We, afraid of you?” Song Yan couldn’t help but laugh, not only laughing, but also laughing heartily, unusually happily. After laughing for a while, Song Yan slowly stopped laughing and said to Wang Sheng, “Duke Changsheng, are you too full of yourself?”

“You’re the one who said I was paving the way, and you’re the one who said I think too highly of myself.” Wang Sheng wouldn’t argue with Song Yan, he just stated the facts: “I didn’t say anything.”

Song Yan was speechless. It seemed that she had misunderstood something again, and said something wrong again. In this respect, Song Yan was not as good as Mei’er and Qiangwei. Mei’er and Qiangwei deeply believed everything Wang Sheng said and would never doubt anything, let alone question it. But Song Yan was different. Song Yan’s position determined that she had to suspect anyone, even if she knew that Wang Sheng had no malice towards her, she would subconsciously think of the worst.

This was not a bad thing. On the contrary, for Song Yan’s current situation, the more meticulous her thinking, the more she could lead the Song family to create an unprecedented situation.

However, Song Yan didn’t want Wang Sheng to have any misunderstanding about her. Although the two of them might not be able to be together openly, could Song Yan still have anyone else in her heart? Could she change another man by her side?

“It’s my fault.” Song Yan apologized to Wang Sheng again. The two maids and guards were no longer surprised by this attitude. Miss was still Miss. The one in the Song family who was decisive in killing and was high above like a queen was her own Miss, and this little woman who would act coquettishly, admit her mistakes, and act petty in front of Wang Sheng was also her own Miss.

“Silly girl!” Wang Sheng sat not far from Song Yan, and when he heard this, he reached out and touched Song Yan’s hair, and said with a smile.

This sentence seemed to make Song Yan happier than any sweet words. A bright smile appeared on her face, and it was obvious that she was happy from the bottom of her heart. Wang Sheng’s not being estranged from Song Yan made her happier than anything else.

“Wang Sheng, what do you think we should do if that Uncle Li becomes a threat to us?” Song Yan immediately ran away from all speculation and asked Wang Sheng directly, “What if a few more come from other families?” Just now she called him Duke Changsheng, but now she immediately changed back to Wang Sheng.

“You guys also train experts!” Wang Sheng replied casually: “Didn’t I tell you? The resources of the eight great families are much stronger than those of small families and small sects, right? If they can pile up one, you can pile up ten, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“The reasoning is this reasoning.” Of course, Song Yan understood where the advantages of the eight great families lay, but wasn’t the problem that her own family didn’t have one yet, but other families did? So she could only continue to ask: “But now Worry-Free City has Uncle Li, but we don’t.”

“Uncle Li is just higher in cultivation than you, but he is not invincible, let alone immortal, what are you afraid of?” Wang Sheng followed up with a reply.

“What do you mean?” Song Yan’s expression changed slightly, higher cultivation is not invincible?

“The meaning is that Uncle Li’s realm is higher than yours, but he is not unkillable.” Wang Sheng explained with a smile: “Still don’t understand?”

“How easy is that!” Song Yan smiled bitterly: “One level higher in realm, the combat power is at least ten times stronger. Do you know how much it costs to kill someone who is higher in realm than yourself?”

“Don’t know!” Wang Sheng shook his head quickly, but immediately straightened his chest and said confidently: “But among the people I killed, 90% of them had higher cultivation than me, at least half had two great realms higher than me, and at least 10% had four great realms higher than me. It seems that the price I paid was not high, of course, it was not difficult to kill them, if you find the right method, I, in the Second Realm, also killed Dai Wuji in the Seventh Realm, as long as a small black bean spider is enough. If you really want to kill, let alone Uncle Li, Lao Dao also has a way. But if you only know how to kill people, you deserve to live so cautiously for generations.”

These words were spoken with incomparable confidence. Song Yan wanted to refute, but after careful consideration, she suddenly realized that, based on the information she had, she could not refute Wang Sheng’s words. It was true that 90% of them had higher cultivation than Wang Sheng, but they all died in Wang Sheng’s hands. Killing people across realms had become Wang Sheng’s usual method.

“Then what are Uncle Li’s weaknesses?” Song Yan was immediately overjoyed, as long as Uncle Li was not invincible, and could still be killed, then there was nothing to be afraid of. So what if his cultivation was higher? Could he be higher than the Lin family’s number one expert five hundred years ago? But the world’s number one expert back then was not also jointly wiped out by the major families?

Wang Sheng smiled without saying a word, but Song Yan suddenly understood Wang Sheng’s good intentions. The previous actions of the major families were probably really too bad in some aspects.

“Speaking of which, you are so worried about having an Uncle Li in Worry-Free City.” Wang Sheng saw that Song Yan seemed to have understood something, and then asked Song Yan: “Then change the force, if one of the eight great families has an epic expert, what should you do? Is it also a joint extermination?”
