Chapter 319: Chapter 318: Great Empress Wa (Humbly Begging for Votes) Chapter 319: Chapter 318: Great Empress Wa (Humbly Begging for Votes) After a long while, Forgotten Cold River slowly regained its tranquility.

The snow dust and mist on the iceberg ceased to swirl, and occasionally electrical arcs jumped between the chains, causing its body to twitch each time.

Fortunately, the strange current seemed to only travel along the chains, which prevented Shao Zifeng and his companions from being affected.

Looking up, the immense dragon head drooped down, fixed in place by chains, stretching the mane and whiskers atop its head straight.

Its blue-white skin bore streaks of scorched marks, and the absence of horns on its head was even more conspicuous.

“Little Deer.”

Shao Zifeng looked at the Hornless Dragon, shackled by chains, his heart aching a bit.

“Yo~”

Qiuqiu nodded, its eyes twinkling like stars, and the massive antlers atop its head faintly visible.

“Stop…” an old dragon’s weak voice echoed in his mind, “unless you want this little one to die.”

It barely opened one eye and split its fanged mouth wide.

“Don’t worry, I’m not dead yet.”

With a mere movement, several electrical arcs flickered again above the snow dust mist, while the Arctic Ice Flood Dragon in the distance let out worried low moans.

Under the electrical arcs, its body convulsed, and the chains below the mist produced a dense clanging noise.

Looking at the chains fading in and out of sight amid the snowy mist, Shao Zifeng couldn’t help but ask, “What is this, and… who are you?”

The huge dragon head lifted an eyelid, staring at Shao Zifeng with a look that was both mocking and smiling, as a weak voice rose in his heart.

“You can call me old dragon, as for the rest… boy, are you sure you want to know?”

As it spoke, it shook its head, accompanied by the clanking of chains, and several blinding electrical arcs leapt in an instant.

Shao Zifeng wisely shut his mouth. With such a powerful being in this state, if it had been him…

There wouldn’t even be ashes left to rise into the air.

Thinking about it, Shao Zifeng decided to sit down, gently stroking Qiuqiu with his hand.

“If that’s the case, please let me leave.”

“Leave?”

The old dragon blinked then shook its head.

“That won’t do. It’s not easy to meet a descendant from Donghuang, and although a bit disappointing… cough cough, I’m not speaking of you, just stay and chat with me for a bit.”

“I can’t intervene in whatever grievances you big shots have,” Shao Zifeng said grudgingly, “Besides, what’s there for me to talk about with you?”

“Let’s talk about Donghuang… let’s talk about your Xia clan’s history over the years. I want to know how that Xia kid made your branch flourish.”

“I want to know that too…” Seeing the old dragon’s expectant expression, he eventually didn’t refuse. “Alright, alright, I’ll tell you what I know.”

Shao Zifeng wracked his brains, narrating the development of the Great Xia over the past few thousand years, based on his memory of history.

The start was quite normal. Due to the lack of historical evidence and continuous debate over whether there were dynasties before Shang Dynasty, Shao Zifeng’s explanation was quite vague.

When talking about the Shang period, the inescapable figure was Fu Hao, yet the old dragon was completely disinterested in Fu Hao and King Wu Ding of Shang’s relationship.

But starting from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the old dragon got excited.

“Wow, I like Qin for taking down the Zhou emperor–bold move!”

“That Zhou emperor you mentioned has none of the blood of my Donghuang men. Being the chief of the Zhou and still suppressed by others, it’s truly disgraceful.”

“Qin was a state, not some ‘chiefdom,'” Shao Zifeng corrected.

“Isn’t that the same thing?”

…

“Not bad for a lad I approve of, Qin Wangzheng’s courage is no less than that of the Shaohao faction.”

Shao Zifeng: …

“He seems to be a descendant of Shaohao anyway.”

“I knew it!”

The old dragon shook its head vigorously in excitement, causing several electrical arcs to appear instantly, shocking itself into making whimpering noises.

Qiuqiu lay on Shao Zifeng, watching with pure amusement, while even Qiuqiu’s eyes curved into crescents.

As for the plump Mirage Beibei and the Ice Horned Whale, they seemed to have bonded with the Arctic Ice Flood Dragon at that moment.

…

“Han King Bang, that old fellow, isn’t much, but his grandson, Han King Che, is quite commendable.”

“Though distant, I will exterminate them, well said, truly worthy of a man from my East Mirage.”

“It was Chu Wangyu who eradicated Qin, why do you hold a grudge against Han King Bang?”

“Hmph.”

The old dragon haughtily snorted, and several arcs of electricity responded to it.

Ever since it learned its favorite Qin Dynasty had been annihilated, this fellow has always disdained Han King.

But Shao Zifeng knew that lamenting for Qin was a pretense; the real reason for its displeasure was Han King Bang’s slaying of the Son of White Emperor.

After all, its own base color was also white.

…

“Unsatisfactory, most unsatisfactory!”

The old dragon’s irate voice echoed in his heart.

“How is it that each generation of my East Mirage’s sons is worse than the last, with Song Wangyin favoring culture over martial prowess, and his descendants even being relegated to a corner by foreign tribes!”

“It infuriates me as well!”

Shao Zifeng glanced at it, “Stop making a fuss, there are no foreign tribes anymore, everyone is now of the Great Xia.”

The old dragon glared at him.

…

As the story progressed, the old dragon gradually became silent.

When Shao Zifeng reached the part where King Ming hanged himself in the coal mountain, its voice suddenly emerged within Shao Zifeng’s heart.

“Boy, in the several thousand years of your history, were there no ‘beast spirits’ involved?”

“‘Beast spirits’… you mean Mutant creatures,” Shao Zifeng thought and spoke, “Of course not, Mutant creatures appeared only 20 years ago.”

“20 years ago,” the old dragon’s voice sank even deeper, “to emerge only 20 years ago…”

For a Mutant creature that had lived for who knows how many years, 20 years was indeed too short, hardly enough time to cultivate real combat capability.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and Shao Zifeng ceased to speak.

He placed the small deer on his legs and held Qiuqiu with one hand while embracing the slender neck of the small deer with the other.

After a long time, the old dragon’s deep voice rose within his heart.

“Then tell me about the events of these past 20 years.”

Over the next period, the old dragon listened very seriously, not interrupting as before.

After Shao Zifeng finished speaking, the old dragon pondered for a moment.

“You mean… the great leader of Xia knew from the start how to use the Blood Covenant and was not panicked by the sudden appearance of ‘beast spirits,’ even systematically deploying troops to quell the chaos?”

The great leader my foot.

Shao Zifeng silently criticized internally.

This fellow’s choice of words was indeed ancient.

But then again, you couldn’t really explain it to him in detail.

“Roughly so, I’m not too clear on the specifics, since I had just been born at that time.”

“In any case, Great Xia was the first to restore order from the ‘Unknown Recovery Event,’ and has always been at the forefront in research on Mutant creatures.”

Qiuqiu lay on the back of the small deer, its small paws embracing Shao Zifeng’s mocking fingers and biting them.

“It seems that besides me, other old cohorts have awakened.”

“Those who wield the power of the Blood Covenant are…” the old dragon looked at Qiuqiu, “No, those who possess the power to improve the Blood Covenant.”

Thinking this, the old dragon suddenly became excited.

Its mouth muscles trembled slightly, and its dragon whiskers were pulled straight.

Even the leaping arcs of electricity did nothing to dampen its excitement.

Its excitement was as great as knowing about the 600 million people of Great Xia.

Shao Zifeng watched the suddenly excited old dragon, unsure what it was planning.

At that moment, an almost moaning voice emerged within Shao Zifeng’s heart.

“Is it Empress Wa…”
