Chapter 362: Suppress! Prefect of Yingchuan! Justice of the Court of Judicial Review! An Official of Rank Six! The Grand Undertaking of Slaying a Dragon!
At this time, Li Yanchu’s faint smile stiffened. He was not skilled in water combat. Strictly speaking, he had never fought beneath the water at all. If this Dragon King of the Chu River came ashore, he would not hesitate to meet him saber to saber!
But if the battle was to be in the depths of Chu River... that was a far trickier matter. Fang Qinglan, holding her iron sword with a cold and clear expression, showed no sign of wavering at his words.
“You’ll lead the way ahead. I’ll follow you to the Dragon Palace and see for myself.”
Li Yanchu was both surprised and a little helpless.
You dared to descend into the perils of Fengdu! Now, the depths of the Dragon Palace of Chu River is unknown, its Dragon King’s cultivation unfathomable, and you still dare to go down?
“Shouldn’t we think this over more carefully?” Li Yanchu frowned slightly.
Fang Qinglan shot him a sidelong glance. “We’re only going to take a look. It’s not as if we’re marching in to slay a dragon. What are you so afraid of?”
At this moment, he found himself missing the innkeeper. She was charming, perceptive, full of grace, not one to recklessly seize the spotlight or rush into danger.
“This poor young woman is in such a pitiful state,” he said at last. “We can’t just leave her here alone, to make her own way back to Yingchuan Prefecture.
Better to bring this fish demon back, put him to a thorough interrogation, and tomorrow report all of this to the Prefecture. Then invite the renowned Daoist temples and eminent monks to descend upon the Dragon Palace together. That would be the wiser course!”
As soon as Li Yanchu spoke these words, the young woman in her red bridal gown—still shaken, her soul not yet settled—burst into tears of gratitude!
The Daoist’s reasoning was sound. Moments ago, she had nearly been abandoned here to fend for herself.
