Chapter 227 Do you know what it means to be captured alive?
Suo was terrified.
The Dragon Roar Stone has long been extinct. The last one was bestowed upon Long Wanluo by the Old Dragon King. Since Long Wanluo is dead, the person holding the Dragon Roar Stone is indeed very likely a descendant of the dragon race.
He recalled the dragon aura he had previously detected, his cold eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Is the person the eldest princess mentioned from the Dragon Flame Kingdom?"
"How did the envoy know?" Long Qianxue asked in a low voice.
She wondered if Long Zhuochi had also found out something.
Soze: "To be honest, Princess, I previously discovered the power of the dragon race in the Dragon Flame Kingdom, but I lost track of them halfway through the pursuit."
"I never imagined that he really is a descendant of the dragon clan."
He looked up and sized up Long Qianxue.
Why did the eldest princess tell me this?
Long Qianxue had already anticipated his question, so she lowered her head and pretended to be heartbroken, saying, "Whether Aunt Luo's daughter returns to the Dragon Palace or not, I will never become the Dragon Queen."
“I know that Brother Zhuochi refuses to see me now. But the marriage exchange was Father’s decision and has nothing to do with Brother Zhuochi.”
"I don't blame him."
Long Qianxue took a deep breath, raised her head, and said with a relieved expression, "The last thing I can do for him is to tell you this news."
"Your Excellency, you must remove this thorn in your side."
"If we let her return to the Dragon Palace and inherit the throne, then all of Brother Zhuochi's efforts over the years will have been in vain!"
Dragon bloodlines are rare, and both men and women can succeed to the throne.
She refused to believe that the Dragon Bathing Pool would let that Dragon Flame Woman go!
Suo pondered this in his heart.
Long Qianxue's words should not be taken at face value; further investigation is needed.
He wanted to see the Dragon Roar Stone with his own eyes.
If she is truly a descendant of the dragon race, she must be killed as soon as possible and must not be allowed to return to the Dragon Palace!
"Does the eldest princess know who she is?" Suo asked in a deep voice.
A sharp glint flashed in Long Qianxue's eyes, and she slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"This woman is Zhai Rongyu, the Princess of Yongning County in the Longyan Kingdom."

Nansang Imperial City.
As the sun sets, night slowly descends, accompanied by a chilly wind, gently enveloping the world.
Zhai Rongyu sat in the prison cart and drove into the city gate.
The group soon arrived at a post station.
“Young master, the palace gates are now locked. Let’s rest at the post station for the night and enter the palace early tomorrow morning,” said Wu Muli’s servant.
Zhai Rongyu glanced at the sky.
There is ample time.
[That's enough time for Wu Muyou to catch up.]
Looks like tonight will be another sleepless night~
Wu Muli dismounted and tossed the reins to his servant.
He turned to Jun Ce, who was disguised as a servant, and ordered, "Bring her in and keep a close eye on her. Don't let her escape."
After saying that, he turned and entered the post station.
Despite saying that, he wasn't worried at all about Zhai Rongyu running away.
The key to the Netherworld Lock is on him, and no one can unlock it.
No matter where she ran, he could find her immediately as soon as he chanted the incantation.
Jun Ce opened the prison cart and was met head-on by Zhai Rongyu's smiling gaze. "Brother, you're so handsome! Can you carry me down?"
After saying that, she actually opened her arms to him.
"Stop fooling around." Jun Ce glanced in the direction of the post station and said in a low voice.
Zhai Rongyu pouted, withdrew her hand, and grumbled as she jumped off the prison cart, "Stingy."
She shook her skirt, and the chains on her body rattled.
She walked forward, seemingly unconcerned.
Jun Ce looked at the girl walking ahead with some helplessness, only to see her suddenly stop and turn around to throw the chain hanging from her hand to him.
"Look, they told me to keep a close eye on me."
Jun Ce gripped the chain tightly, raised an eyebrow, and yanked it forcefully in his direction, causing Zhai Rongyu to stumble and fall toward him.
The girl lifted her eyes and gave him a soft glare.
【hateful! 】
[Not only did he not chat with me on the way, but now he's deliberately messing with me.]
You'd better take turns keeping watch with both eyes while you sleep tonight!
Jun Ce couldn't help but smile slightly, then quickly suppressed his smile.
“Come on, little prisoner.” He tugged at the chains.
The two entered the post station side by side.
Smelling the aroma of chicken legs, Zhai Rongyu rushed over, dragging Jun Ce to the table as if she were pulling him along.
Wu Muli, who was about to eat: ...
Which of you is the prisoner?
Zhai Rongyu's eyes lit up as she looked at the table full of dishes.
"So lavish!"
She plopped down on her bottom.
"Waiter! Bring me another pair of chopsticks!"
Wu Muli glared at her and slammed his chopsticks on the table. "Who gave you permission to sit at the table and eat!"
Zhai Rongyu tapped the table in strong disapproval.
"Hey, Helian Kuangmo told you to capture me alive, do you even know what capture alive means?"
"If your grandmother starves to death, will you still be able to become the head of the Wu family?"
After saying that, without paying attention to Wu Muli's expression, he unceremoniously moved the plate of chicken legs in front of him, smelled it, and squinted his eyes because it smelled so good.
[I'm starving after such a bumpy ride!]
She rolled up her sleeves.
Conquer hunger, be yourself!
Nobody can stop me from eating!
"Alright, alright, don't just stand there. Make yourselves at home, don't be shy! Let's eat, let's eat!" she greeted them in a very familiar manner.
Witchcraft and Pastoral Rites: ...
The waiter brought over the chopstick holder and looked at Wu Muli cautiously.
"Give it to her." Wu Muli said with a sour face.
The waiter immediately placed the chopstick holder in front of Zhai Rongyu, bowed, and took his leave.
Zhai Rongyu pulled out a pair of chopsticks, pointed at Jun Ce, and said to Wu Muli, "Look, I want him to sit opposite me and eat with me."
"Don't push your luck!" Wu Muli was furious.
How can a servant be allowed to dine at the same table as him!
He's already at his limit in tolerating this vixen!
Zhai Rongyu shrugged nonchalantly, "I eat because he's so good at eating. If I don't let him eat with me, I'll still starve to death."
Wu Muli clenched his fist, suppressing his anger.
He looked up and glared at Jun Ce. "Sit!"
Jun Ce's expression remained indifferent, but a faint smile appeared in his dark eyes. He readily agreed and sat down opposite Zhai Rong.
Zhai Rongyu stared at him, squinted her small white teeth, picked up a piece of winter bamboo shoot, chewed it, and swallowed it with satisfaction.
"Hmm~ Your servant is certainly a good accompaniment to food."
She turned to Wu Muli and asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
Wu Muli's anger flared up, and as if he could no longer bear it, he suddenly stood up and said to the waiter in a very aggressive tone, "Send a meal to my room."
After speaking, he glanced at the two people sitting opposite him with some disdain.
How could the young master of the prestigious Wu family sit and eat with a prisoner and a servant?
If word gets out, will he lose his reputation?
He glanced at the guards at the entrance of the inn, then went straight upstairs to his room.
This place is full of his people, so she can't escape.
Zhai Rong raised an eyebrow and continued gnawing on her chicken leg.
She raised her chin, looking at Jun Ce with a rather proud expression, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to eat such a good meal."
"Ah."
Jun Ce watched the girl enjoying her meal, a faint smile curving his eyes.
“So…” Zhai Rongyu suddenly leaned closer to him, her almond-shaped eyes blinking, revealing a pair of dimples as she smiled, “Shouldn’t you thank me properly, brother?”
