Yin and Yang Cultivation on Wedding Night

Chapter 40 (New): Pressure from the Elders

Li Mo put the Sword of Laszka in the interspatial ring, and made it appear in his hands again a few times.

He became more and more excited

This inconspicuous ring was more precious than all the treasures in the dragon cave.

The storage space in the ring was about ten square meters, so storing the sword was indeed not a problem.

As the system had said, his current power was not high, so the space in the ring was not big. Li Mo was even more determined to increase his power.

Although the interspatial ring was only a storage room for now, in time, it would definitely become a powerful support tool.

When he obtained more weapons later on, he would be able to fight more freely. Who doesn’t like the feeling of pulling out a sword from behind.

Li Mo’s eyes sparkled. His hand kept stroking the silver ring on his little finger. The ring seemed to have a spirit and responded with heat.

“Good boy, I’ll definitely increase my magic power as soon as possible and expand your

space!”

On the other side, unlike Li Mo who was beaming with joy, Melia was sitting at the head of the meeting hall of the Dragon Palace. She held her forehead with one hand and looked at the people below with a frown.

The leader was an old man with a white beard and a gray robe. He had a face of someone who had endured many sufferings and a pair of eyes that were deep and bright. He looked majestic.

At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the anxious Melia at the head of the meeting hall.

“Melia, what kind of attitude is this? Do you not respect the elders?” A sharp voice resounded throughout the meeting hall.

The person who spoke was none other than Melia’s sister, Iris.

Iris crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Meria with a cunning look. Melia was puzzled! It was only in the morning that she learned that the Sword of Laszka had been stolen by humans who had infiltrated the Dragon Palace. In the blink of an eye, Iris had found out about this news from God knows where.

The moment she left the dungeon, Iris had brought a group of elders to ask for an explanation.

“Your Majesty, is what Iris said true? The humans sneaked into the Dragon Palace and stole the Sword of Laszka?”

An elder in a green robe beside Iris looked at Melia sharply, eager to get an answer.

Melia looked up at the elder and said coldly, “Elder Gawain, I’ve already told you, the humans did sneak into the Dragon Palace and tried to take the sword…”

“Elder Al, am I right?” Without waiting for Melia to finish her words, Iris walked to the side of the old man in the gray robe and pointed at Melia. “As the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom, Melia slept with a lowly human slave and neglected her political affairs. Now, she even gave the humans the opportunity to sneak into the Dragon Palace and stole the Sword of Laszka.” Melia’s eyes instantly turned sharp, and a terrifying magical energy was released from her body. Hundreds and thousands of sharp ice shards instantly flew towards Iris’ face. The people in the meeting hall were all stunned by this scene. Iris shrieked and stepped back, covering her face with her hands.

SO

Melia keps using magic to deal with her. The scar that was left behind after the fight had just healed after she took the medicine prescribed by the palace physician.

She wanted to disfigure her again! How wicked!

Everyone was panicking. Only Elder Al calmly waved his sleeves and chanted a spell. Melia’s ice shards instantly turned into water and dripped onto Iris’ feet.

Meria looked coldly at the person who stopped her. When she found out that it was Elder Al, she quickly retracted the magic and calmed her breathing

“Iris, you interrupted me before I could finish my words. This is a warning!”

When Iris and the other elders saw Elder Al’s response, they did not say anything and quietly stood to the side.

“Melia, you really should explain this matter.” Elder Al’s voice echoed in the meeting room.

Since ancient times, the Dragon Kingdom has had twelve elders in each generation. Their status was second only to the king. Many important decisions were discussed by the twelve elders before they reported to the Dragon King and to be decided.

At the same time, the Dragon King’s decision had to be voted by the twelve elders.

Elder Al had been through three generations of rulers, and he was the person with the most authority among the twelve elders. Even Melia respected him.

“Elder Al, Li Mo has captured three human intruders and is in the dungeon right now, interrogating them.”

Iris snorted disdainfully. “Are you kidding me? How can you trust a human slave?”

Due to Elder Al’s presence, Melia could only clench her fists and endure Iris’s harsh questioning

Seeing how sullen and annoyed Melia was, Iris became even more arrogant.

“I don’t think Melia is worthy of the position of Dragon Queen. Sleeping with a human slave and losing the Sword of Laszka are enough to prove it.”

Elder Gawain heard Iris’s words and said, “Your Majesty, it’s really inappropriate to trust a slave so much and give him such an important task!”

“Your Majesty should be very clear about the impact of the loss of the sword on the Dragon Kingdom.”

“Although the Dragon Kingdom is small in numbers, we shouldn’t let the humans bully us to such an extent…”

The two elders who had been silent started to criticize Melia when Elder Gawain opened his mouth.

Iris merely curled the corners of her lips and looked at Melia victoriously.

The three elders were on her side. How could they let go of such a good opportunity when Melia had made such a mistake.

The Dragon Kingdom was united when fighting against external enemies. However, there were also internal problems, such as the fight for the throne.

Among the twelve elders, Elder Gawain and the two elders who criticized Melia were all close relatives of Iris’ mother. Naturally, they were on Iris’ side.

Elder Al had always remained neutral. He only cared about their abilities and not who they were. There were two other elders who remained neutral with him.

The rest were elders who were willing to support Melia. It was also because of the advantage in numbers that Iris was unable to dethrone Melia.

However, the loss of the sword was enough to make all the elders lose confidence in Melia’s leadership. As long as it was not found, Iris would not let it go.
