I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Chapter 228 Rescue successful, heading to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

After a while, Ao Xue slowly opened her beautiful and lively eyes. Seeing Ao Xue wake up, Prime Minister Turtle and the soldiers and generals behind him were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. Their cheers seemed to break through the sky.

Prime Minister Turtle watched everything unfold before him, a wave of dread welling up in his heart. Fortunately, he had followed the advice of Princess Ao Shuang, the Third Princess of the West Sea, and avoided a confrontation with the young man. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous. Even at this thought, he felt a chill run down his spine.

You know, it is relatively easy for people with high cultivation to treat people with low cultivation, but it is rare for someone like Li Chen to be able to cure the Dragon King's daughter in just a few breaths.

This not only showed his superb medical skills, but also indirectly reflected his unfathomable cultivation. If Li Chen wanted to kill them, it would probably be as easy as crushing ants, without much effort at all!

"Grandpa Turtle, what's wrong with me?" Ao Xue asked softly, a hint of confusion in her voice. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, her expression became nervous, and she hurriedly asked, "Where's Father's Dragon Ball?! Did you get it back?!"

"Reporting to the Third Princess! With the help of the immortal next to you, we have successfully taken back the dragon ball!" Prime Minister Turtle replied respectfully.

"I remember you. Thank you so much!" Ao Xue looked at Li Chen and said gratefully. After all, that was a life-saving grace! Ao Xue looked up at Li Chen's face. Li Chen looked at Ao Xue and the two of them stared at each other for a long, long time.

Li Chen felt as if he had seen Ao Xue somewhere, but he couldn't seem to remember where he had seen them. It seemed as if he had seen them in a dream or in a previous life. Ao Xue also had a similar feeling. The two of them looked at each other unconsciously, and Ao Xue's face couldn't help but blush.

It wasn't until someone around them seemed to realize what was going on and called out their names that they finally came to their senses. Li Chen hurriedly said, "No need to thank me. I just saw injustice and helped! The Six-Eared Macaque is also my enemy!"

Li Chen said as he gently placed Ao Xue on the ground.

Ao Xue lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Thank you anyway. I don't know what would have happened without you." Her voice was as small as a mosquito, but full of gratitude.

Then, Prime Minister Turtle led the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind him and walked forward, knelt in front of Li Chen, his eyes full of tears, and said with a sob: "My lord! I spoke rudely just now, please don't blame me!" As he spoke, he kowtowed continuously, as if he wanted to break the ground.

The surrounding shrimp soldiers and crab generals also followed him and kowtowed to Li Chen. Li Chen hurried forward and pulled them up from the ground with his hands.

"It's okay, I won't bother with these things, but I have something I want to visit your East China Sea Dragon Palace for." Li Chen said with a faint smile. After all, there are many treasures in the Dragon Palace. As long as you are willing to take care of that stingy old Dragon King, you don't have to worry about him not giving you what you want.

In the original version of Dream Journey to the West, the Dragon King of the East Sea is notoriously stingy. Some players have fought him for nearly hundreds of times but still couldn't get a piece of equipment of their own.

Some players are still fighting the Dragon King. The hardest thing to defeat isn't the boss, but the drop rate! Some players even said that if the drop rate could be improved, they wouldn't have to stay in jail forever!

"This... this, Immortal, our Dragon Palace is in a turbulent time today, so it is really inconvenient to receive you. When the Dragon Palace is peaceful in the future, we will definitely invite you to be our guest and prepare fine wine and delicious food to welcome you!" Prime Minister Turtle showed an embarrassment on his face and bowed to Li Chen.

Although he was polite on the surface, Li Chen could still hear a sense of perfunctoriness in his words, and it was obvious that he did not want to receive them.

Just as Li Chen was about to use words to break through Prime Minister Turtle's linguistic loophole, Ao Xue suddenly stood in front of Li Chen and said righteously: "Grandpa Turtle, since this person saved me, we should treat him with courtesy! Besides, the strength of the Six-Eared Macaque is comparable to that of Sun Wukong. With his help, we may be able to use his strength to fight together!"

Ao Xue's words made sense. Her idea was to use Li Chen's power to resist the invasion of Liu'er Macaque and the Rain Witch behind him.

However, Prime Minister Turtle had a different opinion. He still had doubts about Li Chen. After all, the sudden disappearance of the Six-Eared Macaque had made him wary and he suspected there might be some conspiracy.

Prime Minister Turtle frowned, staring intently at Li Chen, thinking to himself, "What is the origin of this Li Chen? How can he possess such profound magical powers? Why is he here?"

He recalled the battle scene just now, and was very surprised and uneasy about the sudden disappearance of the Six-Eared Macaque. He began to suspect that there was some kind of collusion or conspiracy between Li Chen and the Six-Eared Macaque.

The more Prime Minister Turtle thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He suspected that Li Chen might be the mastermind behind Liu'er Macaque in disguise.

After all, the disappearance of the Six-Eared Macaque and the appearance of Li Chen were too coincidental. Moreover, Li Chen had easily let the Six-Eared Macaque go during the previous battle, which made Prime Minister Turtle even more convinced of his speculation.

Prime Minister Turtle was secretly alert. He decided to closely observe Li Chen's every move and not let him succeed. At the same time, he also wanted to remind the two princesses not to trust Li Chen easily, so as not to be deceived by him.

"Hmph, no matter who you are, I won't let you succeed!" Prime Minister Turtle muttered to himself. He knew that protecting the Dragon Pearl and the two princesses was a heavy responsibility and he would never allow any danger to threaten their safety.

"This is not a place to stay for long. Let's hurry back to the Dragon Palace!" Ao Shuang reminded anxiously. At this time, she had heard strange movements coming closer and closer from the Flower-Fruit Mountain, indicating that another demon was about to arrive here.

"Okay! I and all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals will lead the way for the two princesses and our immortal!" Prime Minister Turtle said loudly. Then, he led a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to clear the way, leading Li Chen and his party and the two dragon girls towards the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

After everyone walked a long distance in the water, a magnificent palace made of crystal appeared in front of Li Chen and others. This was the Dragon Palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, also called the Crystal Palace.

The walls and roof of the Dragon Palace are made of transparent crystal. Sunlight shines through the crystal, refracting a dazzling array of colors. The entire palace is as beautiful as a dream. Above the gate hangs a huge plaque with the words "Crystal Palace" written in golden letters.

Entering the Dragon Palace, one is greeted by a dazzling spectacle. The hall is spacious and bright, with a rich carpet covering the floor and exquisite paintings and precious treasures adorning the walls. In the center of the hall stands a massive table, laden with a variety of delicacies and fine wines.

The interior of the Dragon Palace was exquisitely decorated, dotted with gorgeous corals and precious gold, silver, and jewels. Countless fish swam freely around the Crystal Palace. Li Chen was completely stunned by the beauty. No wonder the Bull Demon King had sent Sun Wukong here to search for weapons. The Dragon King was practically sleeping with a treasure chest!
