Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: You’re Telling Me to Get Lost???? Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: You’re Telling Me to Get Lost???? “Heh… alright, let’s find a place to have dinner, and then we can head back to our rooms to rest. Ah… we have to wait until the day after tomorrow for the Dragon Relic to open, I’m getting a bit impatient here…” Huang Xiaolong said with a lazy smile.

Now, the small island they were on was close to the Dragon Relic, which made some of the dragon aura contained within Huang Xiaolong, and even his entire body, a bit restless.

Indeed, having a True Dragon as an external incarnation, Huang Xiaolong’s own body was inevitably filled with an abundance of dragon aura.

Even his two wives and three little monsters felt something unusual.

“Little Long, it’s so weird, why do I suddenly feel more and more energized?” Song Yuru asked, puzzled. “Such an exciting feeling…”

This was because of the dragon aura they absorbed from Wolong Villa resonating with the Dragon Relic’s energy.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t reveal the truth and smiled, “Who knows? Come on, let’s go have dinner.”

Outside the inn they were staying at, not too far away, stood a simple restaurant.

Huang Xiaolong led the group inside.

The restaurant was simply furnished, but it had a charm of its own–rustic, clean, and there was a young girl in green, at the first floor’s vestibule, playing an elegant tune on the pipa, her mana apparent.

Upon entering, Huang Xiaolong realized that the restaurant already had quite a number of diners.

“Eh? Why is it so bustling this time?” Zhan Tang was greatly puzzled.

After all, not many people were interested in the Dragon Relic these days. Logically, this resting island should have been pretty quiet.

But here they were, in an ordinary restaurant that was filled with cultivators.

Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~~
Huang Xiaolong gazed out into the night sky, noting streaks of mana fluctuations, like shooting stars with brilliant tails, descending upon the island.

“Even at this late hour, quite a few people are arriving,” Huang Xiaolong said with a half-smile.

“Yeah, Island Master, could it be that there is some issue with the Dragon Relic this time?” Zhan Tang asked, full of curiosity. “What’s going on…”

“There might be a good show to watch this time!” Huang Xiaolong hinted, already knowing something.

This year someone will inherit the dragon power contained within the Dragon Relic, for instance… the followers that Huangfu Tianjiao brought along clearly had dragon blood in their veins!

“Alright, let’s not worry about that for now, let’s fill our bellies first,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

The first floor was quickly overrun with people, so Huang Xiaolong and company promptly moved to the second floor and found a spot by the window.

Xiao Er hastened to welcome them.

Huang Xiaolong took the menu, ordered a table full of dishes, and then casually asked, “Tsk tsk, there are more and more cultivators on this island, what’s happened?”

“Heh… Young Master, I’m not entirely sure myself, but it’s said that when the Dragon Relic opens this time, for the first time ever, some cultivators from overseas will inherit the dragon power. Of course, it could be someone blowing smoke, but it might also be true. Who knows? Let’s just wait and see,” Xiao Er whispered.

“Oh.” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

“That’s too fake, isn’t it? After so many years, countless people have explored the Dragon Relic, and not a single soul has successfully inherited the dragon power. Now someone will this year? That’s just grandiose. I wonder who started that rumor. Probably it’s the Island Master generating hype by spreading false rumors,” Zhan Tang said dismissively.

“Zhan Tang, indeed someone will break precedent and inherit the dragon power this year,” Huang Xiaolong stated earnestly.

“What?!” Zhan Tang was taken aback.

“You’ll see,” Huang Xiaolong said, without delving further into the topic.

Soon, a table of uniquely flavored dishes was served.

The aroma was overwhelming.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t say more and dug in heartily.

“The cuisine on this island is pretty good,” Huang Xiaolong said with his mouth full, his manner of eating a bit unsightly, prompting giggles from his two wives.

Not long into the meal, suddenly, a man’s voice, full of surprise, came through. “Zhan Tang! Tang Tang!”

“Huh?” Huang Xiaolong was startled. “Tang Tang? That’s a bit cheesy~~”
Hearing this, Zhan Tang’s brows furrowed, and her face showed some displeasure.

A handsome man walked over, and judging by the mana fluctuations radiating from him, he was approximately at the mid-stage of the Divine Skills realm, on par with Zhan Tang.

The man walked straight over, completely ignoring Huang Xiaolong as if he didn’t exist, his eyes fixed on Zhan Tang as though he wanted to merge her into his body!

However, Zhan Tang displayed a look of disgust, not paying much attention to the man!

“Tang Tang, we haven’t seen each other for many years, are you doing well? Are you…are you still mad at me?” the man said softly.

“Sorry, Tian Youliang, please don’t address me so intimately; we no longer have any relationship,” Zhan Tang replied coldly.

“Tang Tang, you still won’t forgive me? When I joined the Quick Blade Hall, there were difficulties you don’t know about!” the man hurriedly explained.

Huang Xiaolong, Ying Aoshan, and Song Yuru exchanged glances.

“Well, just trying to have a meal and we run into Zhan Tang’s old flame,” Huang Xiaolong privately remarked to his two wives.

“By the way, Tang Tang, what brought you here? Don’t tell me you’re also planning to enter the Dragon Relics the day after tomorrow?” the man changed the subject.

“That’s none of your business,” Zhan Tang responded, still very chilly.

“Tang Tang, don’t you find it strange that this year, so many cultivators are going to the Dragon Relics? Among them are several super geniuses from the Hidden Dragon List,” the man said with a showy look on his face.

“Hmm?” This time, curiosity crept into Zhan Tang’s expression as she couldn’t help but look at the man.

“Hahaha~~ Tang Tang, I know about this!” the man boasted. “Let me tell you. It’s like this; the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List are in fierce competition, which isn’t limited to fighting on the stage but extends to other areas as well. A few years ago, a bet was set among several geniuses! Do you know what they gambled on, Tang Tang?”

“If you have something to say, speak quickly. Don’t beat around the bush,” Zhan Tang said impatiently.

“Alright, Tang Tang, I’ll get straight to the point. Those geniuses bet on locating people with the dragon bloodline. Once found, they would enter the Dragon Secret Realm when it opens this year and have those people inherit the dragon’s power to see who manages to inherit more dragon power. Isn’t that an interesting competition? According to the information I have, several geniuses from the Hidden Dragon List have made their catch and found individuals with the dragon bloodline! This time, it’s going to be quite entertaining!”

“Eh~~ indeed interesting,” Huang Xiaolong blurted out.

“Hmm? Tang Tang, who is this person?” The man’s gaze swept toward Huang Xiaolong, looking at him properly for the first time. However, sensing the very faint mana fluctuations from Huang Xiaolong, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain. “Tang Tang, how can you associate with such an ant-like figure? You should conduct yourself with more dignity!”

“Shut up!” Zhan Tang erupted in anger. “He is my Island Master! What are you babbling about in front of my Island Master? Tian Youliang, I will never forgive you for your betrayal! Back then, our village was slaughtered by disciples of the Quick Blade Hall, and instead of vowing revenge, you disgracefully acknowledged the enemy as your father and joined the Quick Blade Hall! You! You! Get lost!”

Tian Youliang got an earful from Zhan Tang, his face flushing with blood, but he restrained himself from lashing out, redirecting all his anger towards Huang Xiaolong instead!

“Who are you? Island Master? That’s a joke! With such weak cultivation, you’re not worth a strike! Now, leave Tang Tang immediately! Get as far away as possible!” Tian Youliang bellowed at Huang Xiaolong.

“Oh? You’re telling me to get lost?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly, a chill flaring within them.
