Chapter 522: From the People, For the People

The Great King Lotus leaves swayed with the water, growing alongside the mountain, their sprawling root systems bulging like the self-born veins of hills.

Dragon Maidens weaved in and out of the azure stalks, using hook knives to harvest lotus roots, most with bare feet, and a few in white boots. The setting sun pierced through their toes, scattering a semi-transparent orange glow. When they turned around, their skirt veils fluttered, resembling beautiful, large white jellyfish.

Serene and magnificent.

Liang Qu withdrew his gaze.

"Eying, accompany Lord Liang for a stroll. I'll go report to the Elder."

"All right."

Long Binglin surged ahead.

"Lord Liang, please follow me."

Long Eying landed on the ground and gestured, leading the Fat Catfish into the small path formed by the Great King Lotus leaves.

Liang Qu sat atop the catfish's head, "Unable to Move," with Round Head guarding both sides, moving freely and unobstructed along the way.
