The Fated Encounter Between Rogue Dragon and Black Emperor, Two Comedians

Just then, a burst of light appeared within the Heavenly Court, and figures burst forth from the sky, landing simultaneously above the sea of ​​clouds.

Leading the group was Gu Feng, whose elegant Taoist robe fluttered in the wind. He stood tall and composed, exuding a calm and aloof demeanor. A faint aura of a Celestial King surrounded him, and every gesture he made reflected the presence of a powerful figure.

Closely following him was the Great Void Immortal Lord, whose strength had greatly increased after his seclusion.

He was dressed in a pure white immortal robe, with an ethereal and flowing immortal aura. His Dao foundation was becoming increasingly profound and stable, revealing the true immortal peak foundation. He was only one step away from the Immortal King realm.

Di Chen, Wan Qing, and Qin Ming stood side by side. All three were handsome and elegant. After years of cultivation, their auras had become more restrained and vast, indicating that their strength had also improved.

Tianma Shengdi, Hei Huang, and others were also present.

Gu Feng, with a gentle smile, stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Hao as he strode towards him, his posture one of equality and composure.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Hao, congratulations on your return. Judging from your progress in Dao cultivation during this trip beyond the realm, you must have gained a great deal."

Jiang Hao smiled slightly, his expression serene, and raised his hand in return: "Thanks to your kind words, fellow Daoist, I have indeed gained something from this trip beyond the realms."

Taixu Immortal Lord, standing to the side, also stepped forward with a smile.

"Congratulations on your safe return, Fellow Daoist Jiang. You have traversed far and wide, returning with honors."

His voice was filled with the joy of reuniting with an old friend.

Jiang Hao looked at him, his gaze lingering on him for a moment, then smiled and said, "I should be congratulating Fellow Daoist Taixu. Fellow Daoist has gained a lot from this seclusion, and your aura is much more profound than before. It seems that Fellow Daoist's path to Immortal King is just around the corner."

Upon hearing this, the smile in Taixu Immortal Lord's eyes deepened, and he was filled with delight, shaking his head as he spoke.

"Thanks to your teachings and explanations, I was able to grasp the basics so quickly. In the end, I am still grateful for your guidance. Without you, my path of cultivation would never have been so smooth."

He secretly felt grateful and fortunate.

I have been cultivating for over a million years, and I have never made such rapid progress in my cultivation before.

However, since meeting Jiang Hao, his growth in a short period of time has been greater than that of many tens of thousands of years in the past.

If he hadn't met Jiang Hao, how could he have had the opportunity to discuss Dao with such amazing people as Jiang Hao, Ling Bao, Yuan Shi, and Immortal King Gu Feng?

He often discussed the Dao with Jiang Hao, an extremely powerful figure who was astonishing throughout the ages, and gained a lot from it.

Those days of discussing the Dao with Jiang Hao, those insights gained from studying the Heavenly Emperor Scripture and the Dao Fruit Method, and those moments of sudden enlightenment after re-examining the Great Dao—each of these gains has become the foundation for his current breakthrough.

He used to have little confidence in becoming a Celestial King, thinking he might never reach that level in his lifetime. But now it's different; he truly believes that becoming a Celestial King is within reach.

Di Chen, Wan Qing, and Qin Ming stood side by side, each with their own unique aura, but all were more composed and grounded than before Jiang Hao left.

Di Chen stepped forward, bowed, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said, "Master, you've returned."

Wan Qing also bowed slightly and softly called out, "Master."

Qin Ming looked straight at Jiang Hao, grinned, and called out, "Grandpa Heavenly Emperor!" His tone was affectionate.

Jiang Hao's gaze swept over the three, and seeing that their cultivation had all improved, he nodded slightly, his tone full of approval:

"Indeed, you have all made great progress and have not neglected your cultivation these days."

Upon hearing this, the three felt a warmth in their hearts and were overjoyed. Qin Ming scratched his head and said, "We haven't been idle while you were away."

Just then, a dark figure suddenly darted to Jiang Hao's feet.

It was none other than the big black dog, Black King. Black King wagged its thick tail, rubbing its head against Jiang Hao's clothes, barking affectionately and excitedly.

"Heavenly Emperor! Heavenly Emperor! You're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

Its thick tail swung wildly, almost leaving afterimages, and its big head kept nuzzling affectionately against Jiang Haoyi's back.

With its two front paws digging into the ground, it leaned forward, its head drooping slightly, its eyes deliberately squeezed until they were red, looking pitiful and lovesick, howling incessantly, its tone both clingy and excited.

"Heavenly Emperor! My beloved Heavenly Emperor! You've finally returned! I've been waiting for you day and night, I've missed you so much!"

"During your absence from the Origin Realm, I lost my appetite and couldn't eat or drink. Even the most exquisite delicacies were unappetizing. I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and lost a lot of weight!"

"Of all the people in the Heavenly Court, I miss you the most. I wait for your return every moment. Without you here, I have no motivation to cultivate at all!"

"Your Majesty, you're finally back! Now I can finally rest easy."

While it kept babbling and frantically professing its loyalty, it deliberately drooped its ears and pretended to be weak and thin, putting on a superb performance that was both flattering and hilarious.

As it spoke, it actually bent down and exposed its belly, trying to prove that it had "lost weight".

Jiang Hao looked down at its comical appearance, which was deliberately trying to gain sympathy and praise, and a teasing smile appeared on his lips.

"Really? But to me, you don't look thinner at all; in fact, you've gotten quite rounder and look a size bigger than before."

Upon hearing this, Black King froze, his swaying tail instantly stopping, the aggrieved expression on his face freezing on the spot, and a visible hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

However, it was extremely thick-skinned and quickly realized what was happening. It immediately shook its head and tried to explain itself, speaking rapidly:

"No way! Heavenly Emperor, you're mistaken! This isn't fat! This is just bloating from longing and exhaustion, caused by excessive yearning. I've been thinking of you day and night, and it's made me so swollen!"

"I may look strong now, but I'm actually very weak. Since you left, I've been worried about your safety day and night, and it's taken a heavy toll on my mental and emotional health!"

After making his explanation, he immediately came over and rubbed against her leg, frantically trying to please her, displaying the utmost sycophantic behavior.

Not far away, Chen Bei, Long Baobao, and the rogue dragon perched on Chen Bei's shoulder watched the entire Black Emperor's incredible maneuver, their mouths twitching wildly, their faces filled with shock.

Chen Bei inwardly clicked his tongue in amazement: "Good heavens, this black dog is incredibly good at flattering and fawning. His acting skills are top-notch, with endless tricks up his sleeve. He's a role model for us all!"

The baby dragon stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered, secretly admiring the dog's incredible eloquence!

The rogue dragon's eyes widened, and the entire dragon froze. Its heart was in turmoil, and a sense of crisis was almost overflowing.

"Oh no, I've met a top-tier opponent. Will my position as the Emperor's number one sycophant be in jeopardy?"

The rogue dragon was instantly under immense pressure. You must know that in the tomb realm, it was the number one sycophant under the Heavenly Emperor, an undisputed loyal lackey. This was its exclusive status, and no one could rival it.

But now someone even licks her better, and licks her so smoothly and naturally.

It felt its position was under unprecedented threat.

"This big black dog is a real dog! How can it lick like that? Doesn't it have any shame?"

Black Emperor was unaware of the rogue dragon's thoughts. It continued to circle around Jiang Hao, its tail swishing wildly, and its mouth never stopped moving.

"Heavenly Emperor, you brought back so many friends this time! I knew it! The entire heavens are your backyard. Your personal charm is irresistible. The greatest blessing in my life, Black Emperor, is to be able to follow you!"

Upon hearing these words, the rogue dragon felt a jolt of fear; alarm bells rang in its mind.

"No, I must work even harder and perform twice as well from now on. I absolutely cannot be outdone by this black dog. I cannot lose my position as the number one fan in the tomb. This guy is too good at sucking up. If I don't step up my game, I'll lose my position as the number one sycophant!"

So Rogue Dragon murmured, "Hiss, this black dog... how come he's even better at flattering me than I am? What a simp!"

Black King's ears were extremely sharp, and it instantly caught the slanderous remark. It suddenly looked up and then glared fiercely at the rogue dragon.
