The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 143 | Towards Metal City
Shen Long's heart was delighted to see Princess Shui in such good condition, this made him feel relieved that he had lost contact with her.
“General Shan, he is indeed the friend I have been looking for all this time. But how do I meet him?” shen Long whispered to General Shan Lang
“After this coronation ceremony, there will be a banquet. The races of the beast clan can approach the Holy Goddess to get acquainted and give her gifts, General Shan said
“We will approach him at that time, I have prepared a gift for him” continued General Shan
“Good” said Shen Long.
By evening, the coronation had ended and continued with a banquet. The Holy Goddess present in the company of the Supreme Priestess and the Ox King Shu Nu, received the arrival of representatives of the beast clan race who congratulated and gave gifts.
The eyes of the Sacred Goddess looked at the faces around the banquet hall to search for Shen Long's whereabouts, yet had yet to find him.
When the moment the Mountain Wolf race got the chance to come, General Shan accompanied by Shen Long who was wearing a veil came to the Sacred Goddess.
The Sacred Goddess smiled at General Shan Lang with eyes looking at him for a while then looked around again looking for the whereabouts of Shen Long.
“Holy Goddess, I want to introduce this mute brother of mine to you” General Shan said as he pulled Shen Long closer to the Holy Goddess.
Hearing General Shan's words, though reluctantly the Holy Goddess was forced to turn her gaze to look at the hooded man beside General Shan.
The Sacred Goddess's eyes widened, her heart beating even faster when she saw the face behind the veil faintly beginning to be seen as it approached her.
“Shen Long” muttered in his heart
It felt like he had jumped up to hug Shen Long, for a long time had not met her since entering this underworld. After all he was the only person he knew and came together to this underworld, so a feeling of longing swept over him.
“General Shan, thank you. I think the Holy Goddess is exhausted and will rest” suddenly the Buffalo King stops the introduction to proceed to the next event.
“Nothing Ox King Shu Nu, I have not exhausted” said the Holy Goddess who returned excited after finding Shen Long.
“Sorry to interrupt the time of the Goddess, this brother is mute and a little deaf, so it is best that the Goddess speak closer to him” General Shan said to avoid people's suspicions.
“Baik” said the Holy Goddess happily approached Shen Long to speak.
“Shen, meet me tonight. I'm glad to see you” he whispered with a smile.
Shen Long simply nodded in answer to him then lowered his head back.
“Thank you Holy Goddess, congratulations to you. It's just our little gift” General Shan said as he handed the small box to her.
“You and your brother have come to make me happy, no need to give gifts” said the Holy Goddess.
All of those occurrences were seen jellily by the Supreme Priestess who saw the face change on the Sacred Goddess. The show then continued with a meal together.
Since meeting Shen Long the eyes of the Sacred Goddess had never been able to glance at him, this matter had been noticed by the Supreme Priestess.
“Princess, is he the one you are looking for?” whispered the Supreme Priestess to Princess Shui
“True aunt Ming Yu, it was she who came to this underworld with me.” Princess Shui said with a smile.
“Have him come tonight to the pagoda to meet us” said the next Supreme Priest.
“Baik” sahut Holy Goddess
“Please Reverend and Goddess rest” sahut King Kerbau unsuspecting.
After the Supreme Priestess and the Holy Goddess bid farewell to the entire audience that came in the banquet, then he returned to the pagoda.
Several races of the beast clan were seen starting to leave one by one after the departure of the Holy Goddess and the Supreme Priestess including General Shan and Shen Long.
“General, I will meet the Holy Goddess. Thank you for all your help” Shen Long said as he saluted.
“Don't hesitate Shen Long, I'm happy to make new friends like you” said while going to the food stall to drink with his friends.
In the darkness, Shen Long slipped towards the pagoda where the Supreme Priestess and the Sacred Goddess lived. He jumped towards the second floor to enter the pagoda through the window.
The first floor of the pagoda was a living room to receive visits from the beast clan, especially the Ox King. The second floor was the sleeping hall of the Supreme Priestess and the Holy Goddess. While the third floor is a forbidden floor that can only be entered by the Supreme Priestess and the Holy Goddess, because in a space there is a portal to the sky world.
After knocking on the window, the Sacred Goddess who heard directly opened the window and invited Shen Long into the pagoda.
Inside the second-floor pagoda which was the resting place of the Supreme Priestess and the Sacred Goddess, it appeared that the Supreme Priestess had been sitting waiting for Shen Long's arrival in front of her room.
“Sit nak” said Supreme Priest Ming Yu at the sight of Shen Long's arrival.
“I know the purpose of your arrival to the underworld. I am Ming Yu, the brother of Wang Yu, Princess Shui Master who is also your Master's uncle” said Ming Yu who made Shen Long relieved by the identity of the Supreme Priestess.
“Greetings to elder Ming Yu” says Shen Long respectfully.
“I did deliberately ask Princess Shui to be a Holy Goddess to disguise her identity in the underworld. After this coronation you can go together as you intended to come to the underworld. I will give you the reason the Holy Goddess is meditating on the third floor which is a forbidden place” continued Ming Yu
“Thank you aunt Ming Yu” said Princess Shui
“Go” says Ming Yu next
“We say goodbye elders” said Shen Long was about to leave.
“Ohya, first you go to the southern region to find the Dragon Pearl. Two more weeks there will be the Dragon Festival, it's a good time for you to look for the Dragon Pearl” continued Ming Yu
“Thank you elders for the suggestion” said Shen Long who then left by holding Princess Shui's hand.
Although it was a simple gesture and reflex from Shen Long, but in Princess Shui's heart was something, so her face became red because of it.
Then in the darkness of the night they left by flying out of the town of Mulia Stone towards the southwest.
\======
Metal City is located in the southern region of the underworld, but is located in the southwest direction of the town of Batu Mulia which is about two days away.
“Shen, where have you been since arriving in the underworld? I have since come to only spend time at the pagoda” Princess Shui said starting the conversation.
Then Shen Long recounted all the events he had done since coming to the underworld.
“What? You have obtained the Double Cultivation technique?” Princess Shui was stunned to hear Shen Long's story.
Yet Shen Long did not tell her about the guidance from King Shui Ni to her while doing the dual cultivation training.
