Zong Yu asked impatiently: "If I had someone I loved, would you not bother me?"
Ao Yue said: "We still understand the rules of foreign races. If you really have someone you love and love him wholeheartedly, then of course I will not break you up."
There are always beautiful flowers in the world, and picking one less is not too little. Ao Yue is very carefree.
Zong Yu immediately said, "Yes, I have someone I love, and I will only love him in this life. You should give up."
Ao Yue was very disappointed and said, "Well, I wish you happiness."
Zong Yu didn't want to see her, so he turned and left.
Ao Yue still shouted behind him reluctantly: "If you don't like him anymore, you can always come to the East China Sea to find me in the future!"
Zong Yu snorted in his heart and moved faster.
Without Ao Yue's entanglement, he quickly left the East China Sea and found Haicheng.
When he arrived at the shop, Jiang Lin was pruning flower branches.
Seeing Zong Yu, he casually greeted him: "You're here?"
Zong Yu liked this feeling very much. It was as if they had met yesterday and had never been apart for decades.
He couldn't help laughing, "Yeah, here I come."
If it were in the past, he would have sat down and started complaining to Jiang Lin about how he had met an old dragon with a bad temper and his psychotic daughter.
But now, looking at Jiang Lin pruning the branches of flowers in the gentle sunlight of the sea, Zong Yu had a rare feeling that this scene was so beautiful that it should not be disturbed by those annoying trivial matters.
He obeyed his own heart and kicked the dragon father and daughter in his mind eight hundred miles away. He asked Jiang Lin: "You have changed your appearance again. What is your identity this time?"
Jiang Lin held up the rose pot in his hand and showed it to him: "Look, the owner of an ordinary little shop."
The roses are beautiful, and his face is hidden behind the branches, appearing only partially.
Zong Yu suddenly couldn't take his eyes off her.
He thought: I have never seen this rose before, it's quite beautiful.
He stood up, walked closer to see it more clearly, reached out to pluck a flower, put it to his nose and smelled it.
"It smells so good," he said.
Jiang Lin glared at him and moved the flowerpot a little further away: "You are destroying the flowers with your own hands! Do you know how expensive a flower is here?"
Zong Yu replied without thinking: "Then I will work for you to pay off your debt."
Jiang Lin suddenly laughed: "That's fine."
Jiang Lin was still very happy to see Zong Yu.
He closed the shop early, went to various stalls nearby to buy a lot of ingredients, and cooked a meal to welcome Zong Yu.
The East China Sea is naturally rich in seafood.
There is plenty of it, it is cheap, pollution-free, and the food quality is high.
Jiang Lin also took out several jars of fruit wine that he had brewed over the years. Anyway, the gods and monsters didn't have to worry about any physical discomfort.
Qingluo also got a small glass of wine.
This was her first time drinking, and after drinking half a cup her whole face turned red. She grabbed Jiang Lin's sleeve and refused to let go, thinking that she had not yet transformed, and kept wrapping herself around Jiang Lin's arm.
Zong Yu saw the corner of his eye twitch, walked over, pulled her hand away, and said seriously: "How can you be so unrestrained as a girl?"
"Burp." Qingluo burped and looked at the man in confusion. It took her a long time to recognize Zong Yu. She smiled and shouted, "Uncle Zong, you've grown so tall?"
She said with a smile: "But he's still too short, you can't even hold daddy."
Zong Yu:
Qingluo didn't feel Uncle Xiaozong's murderous look at all, and continued drunkenly: "Grandpa Shennong can just put Dad on his arm."
Jiang Lin: “…”
This time, he was the one whose face turned dark.
My good daughter isn't cute at all when she's drunk.
He coldly pulled Qingluo's hand away and turned her into her original form as she wished. He then banned her from speaking and threw her into the corner to eat dirt.
Zong Yu came back to his senses, frowned and asked, "Who is Grandpa Shennong?"
Jiang Lin briefly explained the identity of this body and some of its grudges.
After living with Jiang Lin in several worlds, Zong Yu had some rough guesses about his identities in different worlds.
He was surprised and asked, "Aren't you a monster? Or one with a bad reputation? How come you became a child of God this time? You don't look bad at all."
Jiang Lin said: "Originally, according to the legend, Jiang turned into a Jingwei bird after his death, so he is considered a monster. As for whether he is good or bad..."
He also asked the system, and the system's initial response was:
"Good or bad is never subjective. The system's final judgment is based on the subsequent impact it produces."
After Jiang died, Shennong became furious with him and evaporated half of the East China Sea, causing countless creatures in the sea to suffer.
He was supposed to be the heir of the bloodline of the God of Agriculture of the Shennong tribe, and was entrusted with the destiny. But he died unexpectedly in the end. The civil strife that followed the Shennong tribe was also related to the loss of him and the blessing of the God of Agriculture.
Because of this, the system classified it as "evil".
Jiang Lin felt that this was a bit unfair to him: "According to this statement, it was obviously Zi Qi who killed him, and the people from the East Sea Region who were more hateful. Jiang was just a victim."
The system said: "I won't argue with you about this topic, because it's not my decision. I'm just a weak system."
Jiang Lin: “…”
"System," he said, "I feel like you're not as easy to talk to as before."
System: “Hmph!”
Jiang Lin:
This system hasn't been online for such a long time, how come it has become so delicate
However, when Jiang Lin called the system again, the other party ignored him.
Zong Yu, on the other hand, suddenly remembered something: "The name Ziqi seems a little familiar."
Jiang Lin was shocked: "Sounds familiar? Where have you heard it before?"
Zong Yu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said with an unpleasant expression: "I remember now."
The previous experience of being beaten by the Dragon King and harassed by the Dragon Girl was not a good thing for him.
Zong Yu only said vaguely: "I met a dragon girl named Ao Yue before. She is the princess of the East Sea. I seem to have heard the name Zi Qi from her."
"But there may be someone with the same name in this world." Zong Yu said, "It may not be the one you are looking for."
When Jiang Lin heard the words "Dragon Princess", he was already almost certain.
Ordinary sea creatures can also move the sea water, but not many of them can really create waves in the East China Sea.
If she were the Dragon Emperor's princess, it would make sense.
He asked Zong Yu: "Can you still contact the princess?"
Zong Yu's face darkened: "No."
Even if he could, he didn't want to see this woman again!
"That's such a pity." Jiang Lin sighed.
Zong Yu looked at his regretful expression and blurted out: "Why do you have to look for Ao Yue? Isn't it just looking for someone? I can help you find it!"
Jiang Lin looked at him in surprise and said with a smile: "Thank you. But although finding Ziqi is important, I have other purposes in looking for Ao Yue."
"What's the purpose?" Zong Yu asked.
Jiang Lin asked him, "Weren't you in the East China Sea when you came here? And you met the princess, so have you been to the sea where the dragons live?"
Zong Yu nodded.
Jiang Lin pointed at the merchandise in his store and said, "Have you seen these things in their store?"
Zong Yu didn't pay attention to these things. After listening to Jiang Lin's words, he thought about it carefully and shook his head: "Most of them don't."
Although the Dragon Palace is luxurious, most of the things used are from the sea.
There are no conditions to grow Jiang Lin’s fruits and flowers in the sea.
Jiang Lin said, "That Ziqi is from the Tusu tribe. The Tusu tribe has a grudge against our tribe. While he was harming me, he also contacted the princess of the Dragon Clan. I suspect that the Tusu tribe wants to form an alliance with the East Sea."
The Tusu tribe couldn't do anything to the Shennong tribe, but if a powerful East Sea dragon tribe was added, it would be hard to say.
"But the Dragon King of the East China Sea is not stupid. They are the overlord of the East China Sea and have nothing to do with us. If they form an alliance with the Tu Su family, they will have to face a powerful enemy like the Shennong tribe. Unless the Tu Su family shows enough sincerity to impress the dragon, there will be no hope." Jiang Lin analyzed.
Zong Yu thought of the handsome young man who was so carefree and nodded silently: "That makes sense. The Dragon Emperor is not stupid."
Thinking of the characteristics of the Tusu clan, Jiang Lin smiled and said, "But what can the Tusu tribe have that the East Sea lacks? The sea people can only live in the sea, and territories and other empty things are not attractive to them at all."
Zong Yu's thoughts turned quickly. He looked at Jiang Lin's shop and his eyes lit up: "You want to?"
Jiang Lin snorted and laughed: "Thank you Ziqi for giving me the idea. The Tusu tribe is poor and has no good things, but we in the Shennong tribe have them."
These days, the booming business of the store is enough to prove that the agricultural products of the Shennong tribe are popular among the sea people.
Unfortunately, the highest-ranking sea creature he can currently contact is Ao Ning.
When it comes to discussing the alliance between the East China Sea and the Shennong tribe, this girl lacks the say.
Jiang Lin thought of this and asked Zong Yu, "Can't you introduce Ao Yue to me?"
Zong Yu's face darkened: "No."
"Well then." Jiang Lin did not force it. "Then let's not take shortcuts and follow my previous idea. When the reputation of my small shop gradually spreads, it will definitely attract the dignitaries of the sea tribe."
This is actually the safest and most reliable way to build a good reputation through products.
"Anyway, life is long." Jiang Lin said easily, "It's quite interesting to open a store and sell things."
Unfortunately, sometimes, life just has so many coincidences.
The next day, when Zong Yu sensed a familiar aura at the door and saw the familiar woman, his face suddenly turned pale: "Why are you here again?"
However, Ao Yue was more surprised than him: "Why are you here?"
Zong Yu was stunned: "Aren't you here to see me?"
Ao Yue understood what he had misunderstood and rolled her eyes: "What do you think of our dragon clan? I said I would not bother you anymore, so I will naturally not bother you anymore."
She remembered something and said with a smile, "Come, let me introduce you to my newest partner, a human. Ziqi?"
This familiar name made Zong Yu stunned.
Jiang Lin, who had just walked out of the counter, was also startled and looked over.
The man standing behind Ao Yue was tall, with a cold white complexion unique to the Tusu tribe. He had a handsome face, but he was not the same as in his memory.
Ziqi smiled at the two of them: "Hello, I'm Ziqi."
He looked at Jiang Lin with a puzzled look, feeling that this man looked a little familiar.
Jiang Lin opened a shop alone in the East China Sea, so naturally he hid his true appearance.
He looked at the familiar yet strange man in front of him and smiled meaningfully: "Ziqi, hello, my name is Lin."
