Chapter 4139: Unexpected Situation

ened before.Originally, Pang ZILong didn't take Ye Bufan seriously. He thought that with the strength of the Fengyun Twin Swords, he could easily defeat him and present him as a gift to the three cele..."I understand, Third Brother."

Ye Bufan nodded. Normally, dragons cultivate by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and they rarely go into seclusion.

But the Dragon Emperor was an exception, often secluded himself for cultivation.

Long Geng's memory also held this point, but the specifics of why, and what he cultivated in seclusion, were completely unknown to him.

Within the Dragon Palace, there are five of the most lavish residences. Naturally, the center one is the Dragon Emperor's palace, and the east, west, south, and north respectively belong to the four Great Dragon Kings' mansions.

Ye Bufan, accompanied by Xiaoqing, returned to his own palace according to memory.

As soon as she entered, a strikingly beautiful middle-aged woman rushed up to her, weeping bitterly.

Long'anfei, the legitimate wife of Long Geng, and also the mother of Long Chu.

Dragons have extremely long lifespans, but their fertility rate is incredibly low. Long Geng had only one son and three daughters.

That is to say, the Dragon Chief was his only heir, and that's why he worked so hard before.

A woman's status is elevated by her son. Dragon An Fei secured her position as the legitimate wife precisely because of her mother's connection to the Dragon Chief.

Never would she have expected such sudden bad news: the Dragon Chief had died at the hands of a powerful human warrior. This was like thunder from a clear sky for her.

Long Anfei hugged Ye Bufan tightly: "My lord, please tell me quickly, is Chief really dead They are talking nonsense, aren't they"

"The Queen..."

Although Ye Bufan was mentally prepared, he still felt a bit awkward being held by such a strange woman.

However, there's no way around it. One has to play the role completely. Once a slip is shown in the Dragon Palace, the consequences are unimaginable.

He restrained the urge to shove the other person away, and patted their back instead: "My condolences."

"My Lord..."

Long Anfei had still held onto a glimmer of hope, but now that her hopes were confirmed...

She replied, bursting into tears all of a sudden, sobbing uncontrollably.

"My Lord, you must avenge your son! You must kill that despicable human..."

"Alright, I know what to do now. You can go."

Ye Bufan waved to the servants beside him, "Take the Princess down to rest."

Several palace maids helped Empress Long'an to her feet, and only then did he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Dealing with women can be troublesome, dealing with a woman who cries endlessly is even more so.

He sent Xiaoqing to Princess Qingcan's room and, in need of quiet, hurried towards his own bedroom.

I never expected, when I got to the door, that I would be dumbfounded.

The reason was simple: there were a dozen or so women standing in front of his bedroom, some pure, some seductive, some voluptuous, some charming, with varying figures and shapes.

As soon as he appeared, these women rushed forward and surrounded him.

"Your Highness, please accept my condolences. I am willing to give birth to a son for you!"

"Um..."

Ye Bufan was instantly dumbfounded. He remembered that Long Geng had twenty-four princesses, excluding the just-now Dragon Anfei, there were still over twenty others.

These women all envy the position of a legitimate wife in their daily lives, but unfortunately, with the presence of the Dragon Chieftain, they are powerless.

Moreover, Long Geng was also of an advanced age. He had become increasingly indifferent to matters of men and women in his daily life. Even if he occasionally indulged, he would be dominated by Long Anfei. Therefore, even if they wanted to have a son, they wouldn't have the chance.

But now the situation has changed. The sudden news of the Dragon King's death was a bombshell to these consorts.

As one of the Four Dragon Kings, Long Geng must have offspring. It's inevitable that a new dragon chief will be born if the current one dies.

...While Dragon Anfei grew older, she became increasingly concerned about the dragon race...

As the probability of getting pregnant decreases, these women feel they have a chance to rise in status.

That's why we all waited here early, hoping to win the favor of the Dragon King.

If facing the real Long Geng, one might truly bring a concubine into the room.

After all, even if the Dragon Chief is important, he's already dead. The most urgent thing is to give birth to another son to inherit the throne.

But what they faced was a fake, and Ye Bufan had no penchant for putting green hats on others.

"My king, please rest at my chambers."

A bewitchingly beautiful concubine came forward, wrapping her arms around Ye Bufan's arm and trying to pull him into the room.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Bufan let out a cold snort and flung the several women away.

"This king is tired today, and wants to be alone. You all may go back now."

"younger brother, Zhang Hongwu, the town constable, sat in the main hall. In front of them stood a middle-aged man around 40 years old, Zhang Da, the steward.Zhang Hongwen was plump, with small eyes an...
