Chapter 325 - Borrowing a God (1/2)
Seeing that An Bai was right Qiu Ling naturally didn't waste any time. His body flashed behind another group of trees and before the gods squatting there even realized what was going on one of them had already been grabbed by the collar and dragged back to An Bai where he was carelessly thrown to the ground.
”Will this one suffice?”
The god felt a chill down his back at those words. What did he mean with that, hah?! Nobody would say anything like this after abducting someone! Not if you didn't want to do something extremely despicable! If he didn't know that those two men in front of him were dragons, he might be afraid to be sacrificed in some demonic ritual this very day!
An Bai wasn't any less indignant than the god. He didn't say anything though, after all, it would have been too shameful to argue with his king. As a good subject he should at least pretend that his king hadn't done anything wrong.
Thus An Bai nodded with a heavy heart. ”Yes, Your Majesty.”
Inwardly, An Bai felt like crying. All of them who directly answered to Qiu ling had long since grown accustomed to his quirkiness but An Bai was still the one who was the least resigned. Why couldn't the king he served be an outstanding, accomplished gentleman like the previous king? How come instead of someone who was knowledgeable in alchemy and proficient in the four arts he now had to serve a rogue who abducted people in broad daylight?
Well, at least this king still knew how to paint even though he used this talent only for the sake of drawing a certain person's portrait all day. Heaven alone knew how many different portraits of the god's crown prince were already stored away in the dragon king's palace.
An Bai chose to ignore the gaze of his king and helped the god back to his feet. ”I'm very sorry we have to disturb you. I'm sure the gods already noticed that crown prince Jing He's mortal reincarnation was thrown into the secret realm when the explosion occurred. Considering the relationship between our races us dragons naturally can't remain as bystanders. I hope the gods don't mind but we took the liberty of having a closer look at the array used to conceal the secret realm. We reckon it might be the key to setting His Highness free. Unfortunately, we couldn't determine what was used to place this array here. Might I trouble this brother to help us out?”
The god listened to every word An Bai said but only half of it was actually understood. He was just too stunned at what was happening in front of him. This person … was so … polite. And he spoke so … elegantly. So dragons could actually be like this?
Qiu Ling frowned, grabbed the guy by the shoulder and made him turn around. ”Didn't you hear? We asked you what the humans used to place this array! Take a look now or do you want to be responsible if something happens to the Son of Heaven?”
Qiu Ling's forceful approach startled the guard awake and he scrambled to take a closer look at the array himself. Considering that his family hadn't much status he definitely couldn't be compared to someone like An Bai in terms of knowledge. In fact, even Qiu Ling had learned more in his time in the capital city of the dragon realm than a normal guard would ever have the chance of learning. Thus he didn't bother about the complicated design of the formation and only looked at the elements used for it.
