Chapter 100 The Emperor Returns
It was an ordinary day in the 374th year of the demon calendar, the 6th year of the 4th year of the Yuan Dynasty.

On this day, a major event occurred in the southern waters of the Honghuang East China Sea...

"What? The Emperor of Heaven is coming to our place to look for his relatives?!"

A group of local water monsters suddenly became excited:
That’s the Emperor of Heaven!

"The Emperor of Heaven also has relatives here?"

Some shrimpers touched their whiskers, looking somewhat bewildered:
"I heard that the Emperor of Heaven is a three-legged crow. He should have nothing to do with us sea people..."

"Where did this antique come from! Don't you know that the dynasty has changed?"

An old turtle looked at him in shock:
"That bird emperor abdicated long ago and is now living in Tanggu to retire... The new emperor is a dragon named Jin Bing..."

"How dare you, Lao Deng! How dare you address His Majesty by his name?!"

A little demon scolded him, and the old turtle was so scared that he shook his head:

"Don't! I'm getting old and confused! I'm getting old and confused..."

"Humph!"

The little demon snorted coldly, and then became curious:
"...The last name is Jin, and it's Jiaolong...Why does it feel like he's from the Golden Jiao King's family?"

"possible!"

"However, the Golden Dragon King is only a Golden Immortal now, and his sons and daughters are at most Mysterious Immortals. How could they possibly be related to the Emperor of Heaven?"

"Maybe he's a distant relative of the old Dragon King... And the Emperor of Heaven is also a true immortal, so if you really think about it, it's not impossible..."

"Never mind him, we'll know when the Emperor of Heaven comes... I hope that after the Emperor of Heaven comes to visit us, he'll give us some rare treasures..."

……

In the Golden Dragon King's palace, the old Dragon King was pretending to be calm and learning to cook with his wife, planning to prepare some nutritious meals filled with parental love for the Emperor of Heaven when he arrived...

"Dad, is the Emperor really the younger brother who left the palace to study?"

The eldest prince Jin Jia was also learning how to cook. As he was learning, he felt a sense of euphoria that made it hard to distinguish between reality and fantasy:

"I think I might be possessed..."

"Why not?"

King Jin Jiao sighed:
"I never thought he would end up like this. When I made an exception and let him go, I thought he would be unable to bear it and would come back in a few days. Who would have thought..."

"...You don't know, when he dismantled the dragon clan, I was terrified! I dismissed the palace servants overnight and dismantled the clan... Later, when the vanguard from Shouyang Mountain came, I also cooperated very well. At that time, the human vanguard even wanted me to go to Shouyang Mountain to recognize him."

"How dare I go! He has offended the dragons in the East China Sea, and the people in the Heavenly Court also think that he is a traitor who is trying to seize power. I am afraid that I will be implicated..."

"Once, Prime Minister Turtle of the Crystal Palace came to me and asked me if I knew [Jin Bing]... I definitely didn't know him..."

King Jin Jiao complained bitterly that he had cut too many times for the safety of this family...

"father……"

The second prince Jin Yi suddenly said weakly:

"You cut ties with him like this, aren't you afraid of offending him?"

King Jin Jiao rolled his eyes:

"If he doesn't come on his own initiative, it means it's not the right time for us to recognize each other. If we don't recognize him, it will be good for both of us... You don't know how many enemies he has made outside. Those people can't beat him, but how easy is it for them to beat us?"

"If something happens to us, it will tie his hands..."

"Oh! Great advice, father!"

"Ah."

King Jin Jiao accepted the flattery of his children with satisfaction, and then urged:
"Hurry up, or we won't have learned it by the time your brother Bing comes back..."

"Oh, right, let Erbaiwu... no, Jinding come over here... let's make dumplings together!"

……

The days passed quickly.

On this day, the local Shui tribe villagers who had been preparing for a long time, including King Jin Jiao’s family of over a thousand people, led by the vanguard chief, welcomed the Emperor of Heaven who came to look for his relatives!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, there was no golden lotus falling from the sky or emerging from the ground, nor was there any "Emperor's Liquid" as said in the legend that could enlighten the minds of all living beings, and there was not even any fairies playing music and sprinkling flowers.

The legendary Emperor's chariot should have a grand and special effect, but it didn't have any of them...

The Emperor of Heaven, wearing ordinary clothes and accompanied by a few followers who looked embarrassed, came here on a cloud.

The scene was too ordinary. If it weren't for the Vanguard Chief's reminder, everyone would have almost failed to recognize who the Emperor was...

"Emperor of Heaven...why is he so shabby?"

Some monsters began to complain in a low voice, and the others had almost the same mentality. They had been accustomed to hearing about the grand ceremony of the Emperor of Heaven's tours since they were young, but now that they had seen the Emperor with their own eyes, they were shocked to find that there was no ceremony at all.

Everyone can't help but wonder:

Is this really the Emperor of Heaven?

Then, the Emperor of Heaven, dressed in ordinary clothes, walked over with a smile, first encouraged the extremely excited Vanguard Chief, and then walked into the crowd naturally, greeting everyone...

It was not until the Emperor of Heaven found the excited Golden Dragon King that the father and son chatted and went to the Golden Dragon Palace. A large group of dragons walked away and everyone had not fully reacted.

"The Emperor of Heaven... is so kind..."

"I don't think my dad is that scary."

"She is truly a true immortal...even I have become a celestial immortal!"

"He just greeted me..." "..."

Everyone was talking in low voices.

how to say?

Although I was a little disappointed that I didn’t see the Emperor of Heaven’s luxurious guard of honor, nor did I see the fairies in the celestial palace… However, the Emperor of Heaven in such an ordinary human form actually seemed more… uh, real than the magnificent procession of the Emperor of Heaven in the legend.

The original stereotyped image of the Emperor of Heaven suddenly changed from a high and mighty, lifeless "god" to a living person.

It's really strange, but surprisingly it's pretty good...

……

[Welcome by your father, King Jin Jiao, you return to your hometown after a long absence.]

[You have met your parents, brothers and sisters. Although you are not familiar with most of them, it is okay to call them a few times.]

[Everyone was very excited. In a state of trepidation, they curiously asked you many questions about your glorious deeds such as the battle against the Supreme Heaven and the attack on the twelve divisions of the witch clan. You answered them one by one with a smile, satisfying their curiosity.]

[During the meal, your father suddenly confessed to you, saying that he shouldn’t have cut ties with you back then, and that he was worried about you even in his dreams…]

【you:……】

[You knew your father's true nature very well and did not expose his lies, because you also knew that you had done too many and too big things over the years, which had long exceeded the imagination and acceptance of your family. If your father had not cut off the relationship, something would have happened long ago! ]

[In short, you have a pleasant time with your family...]

[Brother idiot has found you. No, now he is the fourth little golden dragon with a name. According to my father’s inexplicable naming idea, he is named “Jin Ding”.]

[You first congratulated Brother Erbaiwu for finally having a name, and then the two brothers talked about the interesting things that happened in the past. ]

[“Brother Bing, when you were drinking and making sharp comments on state affairs, I thought you were just someone who spoke without thinking, but I never expected that…”]

[Jin Ding said with emotion.]

[And you smiled: Who says young people can’t make decisions? Who can predict the future? Being able to make decisions at least means that there are still people who care about these things…]

[During the banquet, some brothers and sisters naturally came to you and suggested that you seek a position for yourself, but you ignored all such requests and just continued to feast with everyone.]

[This makes the family members who want to rely on you to save dozens of Yuans of hard work very distressed...]

……

After leaving the East China Sea, Xuandu, who had been standing beside the Emperor, finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Great Chief, I was really afraid that they would ask you for an official position just now..."

"I won't give it to you even if you ask for it."

Jin Bing smiled and said:

"My Equal Heaven is not the same as before. At least I will always uphold equality. There is no difference between relatives, friends and the general public in my place."

"Ugh."

Xuandu sighed:

"Now I finally understand why you have been so reluctant to acknowledge your relationship..."

"All right."

Jin Bing shook his head and ended the topic.

"This time we are on tour, in addition to visiting relatives, we have many other things to do... Let's go to Shouyang Mountain first and meet Hou Tu and the others."

"The Great Chief..."

When Xuan Du heard this, he was immediately a little scared:
"Are you really going? You killed their eldest brother..."

Given the violent temper of the witch clan, Xuan Du found it scary just to think about it.

"It doesn't matter."

Jin Bing smiled, with a playful look on his face:

"I'm not afraid that the eleven of them will do anything to me, but I'm afraid that Patriarch Hongyun will insist that Hou Tu compensate him for his Hongmeng Purple Qi..."

"Ah? Red Cloud?"

Xuan Du was confused. Wasn’t this person dead?
But soon, he understood...

At the foot of Shouyang Mountain.

A red cloud that had not yet transformed was hovering next to Hou Tu. No matter how the helpless Hou Tu tried to persuade it, it refused to leave:

"Compensate me for the Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

"My eldest brother has already used up the purple energy, so I can't get it out now..."

"I don't care, compensate me for the Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

"Go ask big brother for it..."

"He's dead, why should I ask for it! Pay me the purple qi!"

Hou Tu:......

If I had known that this guy was like this, I would never have resurrected his true spirit!
