Chapter 495: The Old Dragon King

[New Task: Your book "Journey to the West" has caught the attention of the Dragon Tribe of the Four Seas. The dragon sons believe you've demeaned the dragon tribe and hold resentment towards you, while the dragon daughters are impressed by your imaginative powers and have a fondness for you. Recently, on your travels to the East Sea, a Dragon Tribe lost their Dragon Ball. The tribe blames you for stealing it. In order to clear your name, you follow the breadcrumb trail, eventually discovering the real culprit and retrieving the Dragon Ball, cracking the 'Case of the Missing Dragon Ball'. The East Sea Dragon King laughs heartily and invites you to the longevity celebration of the Elder Dragon King. At the celebration, there is a stark split in opinion towards you between the sons and daughters of dragons; the sons believe you come from an impoverished region and bring nothing of value to the table.]
