Chapter 389 - 358 Dragon Palace
Along the winding stone steps, the road ends at a grand and imposing vermillion gate mansion.
Someone whistled and said, "The Dragon Palace is here," the crowd burst into friendly laughter.
"Please don’t mention the Dragon Palace."
Housekeeper Tu’s expression was helpless, due to the legendary origins of the Tu Family, there’s a saying among the people that the Tu ancestor survived a shipwreck, while everyone else drowned. Only he was rescued by the Dragon King for his good deeds, was well treated in the Dragon Palace, and even became the Prince Consort.
But his parents were still in the mortal world, so to fulfill his filial duties, he painfully parted with his wife, bringing a love token, a Dragon Ball, back to shore. From then on, every time he went out to sea, he returned with plentiful catches of fish, jewels, and money.
Because of these rumors, there were always bandits and thieves approaching the island on small boats, attempting to steal the Dragon Ball and other valuables from the "Dragon King’s Prince Consort," causing endless troubles for the Tu Family who then had to raise the courtyard walls.
As dusk fell, the vermillion gates opened, and over a hundred servants were busy hanging lanterns and decorations, preparing for tomorrow’s birthday banquet.
Housekeeper Tu led the group through the threshold, through two courtyards and corridors, arriving at the West Wing. Eight tables of fragrant food were already set up inside.
"Please enjoy, guest rooms are ready. Rest for the night, tomorrow at the crack of dawn, the birthday banquet will officially begin."
Housekeeper Tu excused himself, and the martial artists, weary from the bumpy sea journey and hunger, impolitely sat down to feast.
Li Cheng and Gray Rain found seats. Players abide by the rule of not eating unknown food, so Li Cheng pretended to eat, storing everything in the three-dimensional warehouse.
