Hong Huang: I am the cowherd

Chapter 34 The Beauty Trap

If Ao Guang had known that what he had just given away was a fragment of the Dao Jade Disc containing a complete Creation Law, he would have regretted it to his very core. This was one of the top ten ranked laws among the 3,000 Great Daos!

To put it in perspective—possessing a complete Dao Law would make comprehending the Dao inscriptions infinitely easier. Given Ao Guang’s natural talent and background, while he might not necessarily attain sainthood, breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm would have been effortless for him. That was the power of possessing a complete Dao Law!

Su Chen had inherited the Law of Strength, the number one among the 3,000 Great Daos. However, even a drop of Pangu’s heart blood was insufficient to fully carry the complete Strength Law. Therefore, the inheritance Su Chen had obtained was, at most, only 20% of the full law.

If he fully comprehended it, he could at least reach the Quasi-Saint level. However, to truly attain sainthood, he had two options—either follow his teacher Tongtian’s path of severing the three corpses to achieve enlightenment, or obtain a complete fragment of the Strength Law Dao Jade and comprehend the law to attain enlightenment through strength!

From the moment Su Chen had inherited Pangu’s legacy, he had already determined his path to enlightenment—the strongest path—attaining enlightenment through strength!

Although he didn’t yet possess a complete fragment of the Strength Law Dao Jade, he could refine his understanding of other laws to nourish and perfect his Strength Law step by step. After all, the Strength Law was the overarching principle of the 3,000 Great Daos!

Thus, obtaining a fragment of the Dao Jade Disc containing a complete Dao Law was of unparalleled importance to Su Chen!

After thoroughly exploring the treasure vault of the East Sea Dragon Palace, Su Chen found nothing else that particularly interested him. This made Ao Guang extremely uneasy.

If this young master remained unsatisfied, how could the East Sea Dragon Clan possibly endure the wrath of the Upper Clarity Saint? Would his entire clan really have to face annihilation?

At that thought, Ao Guang wished he could just dump all the treasures in the vault at Su Chen’s feet, hoping it would please him.

“Immortal Su Chen, is there nothing here that catches your eye?”

Ao Guang forced a stiff smile, but Su Chen could clearly sense his anxiety. In response, Su Chen simply couldn’t be bothered to overthink it.

If the compensation was unsatisfactory, they could prepare to face his teacher’s fury.

Who told the Dragon Clan to attempt murder and robbery? Who told the Dragon King Ao Guang to try to oppress him with authority?

“Dragon King, hasn’t your Dragon Clan been the ruler of the primordial world since the beginning of time? Why is your treasure vault so meager? It lacks the grandeur befitting a true hegemon!”

Although the East Sea Dragon Palace’s treasury held many treasures, it still didn’t match the Dragon Clan’s supposed status. After all, the Dragon Clan had dominated the seas since the Ferocious Beast Calamity and was the ruling force of the Dragon-Han Catastrophe. They had existed for countless eons.

If this was all they had, how could they possibly be worthy of their title?

At this moment, Ao Guang’s eyes flashed with determination upon hearing Su Chen’s words. He then smiled and led Su Chen back to the main hall.

“Immortal Su Chen, please rest for a while and enjoy the dance of our Eastern Sea Immortal Maidens. I will return shortly!”

After speaking, Ao Guang turned to his most beloved daughter, Ao Tingxue.

“Tingxue, you are now the foot servant of Immortal Su Chen. Be sure to serve him well. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Father!”

Although Ao Tingxue felt deeply aggrieved, she dared not question her father’s decision.

—

“Master, please enjoy this celestial fruit!”

After Ao Guang left, Ao Tingxue carefully peeled a celestial fruit and offered it respectfully to Su Chen. As a Dragon Princess, she was no fool. The fact that her father was treating Su Chen with such caution, even after Su Chen had clearly rejected her as his servant, meant only one thing—This Su Chen Immortal was not someone the Dragon Clan could afford to offend!

Thus, even though she was unwilling, she dared not challenge her father’s decision. More importantly, she had no intention of provoking this mysterious Su Chen.

“Princess, there’s no need to be so formal. I have already said that this matter is settled. You don’t need to address me as ‘Master.’ You may call me by my name.”

Su Chen had no particular thoughts about the elegant and noble Ao Tingxue before him. After all, he was no longer the person he had been when he first transmigrated. After cultivating the Hongmeng Nine Turns, his mind and willpower were hundreds of times stronger than others at his level.

Women and beauty? Such things held no sway over him.

“This…”

Ao Tingxue was momentarily conflicted upon hearing Su Chen’s words. Her father insisted that she serve as Su Chen’s foot servant, yet Su Chen refused. She truly didn’t know what to do. She could sense Su Chen’s sincerity and respect in his words, which touched her heart. At the same time, a bit of rebelliousness stirred within her.

You don’t want me to be your servant? Then I’ll just make sure things don’t go your way!

“Master, I beg you to have mercy on me. If my father finds out, he will surely scold me!”

At that moment, Ao Tingxue’s large eyes shimmered with an imploring expression, looking pitiful beyond words.

A noble Dragon Princess, lowering herself in such a manner—this stark contrast in status would be enough to shake most men. But Su Chen merely glanced at her before withdrawing his gaze. Leisurely, he continued sipping his immortal nectar.

A beauty trap?

That won’t work on me!
