Chapter 262: Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage

The East Sea Dragon King squinted slightly when he saw the Form of the Ancestral Dragon.

He then said, “Let’s not fight physically, let’s have a battle of wits instead. If you can defeat me, the Dragon Ball will be yours.”

Upon hearing this, Long Hanjie asked, “A battle of wits? What do you mean?”

The East Sea Dragon King slowly explained, “There is a puzzle: in a cage, there are thirty-five heads above and ninety-four feet below. How many chickens and rabbits are there?”

The East Sea Secret Realm is different from the previous ones; it can determine how others can obtain the Dragon Ball.

The previous four Sea Kings, in the eyes of the East Sea Dragon King, were all inferior. The only Black Dragon King was still a four-clawed dragon, which the East Sea Dragon King looked down upon.

Although it is said that dragons have nine sons, the more mixed the bloodline of the dragon, the less favored they are. The older the bloodline, the more valued by the dragon race.

Long Hanjie’s ability is the Divine Form of the Ancestral Dragon. He is a human who has awakened the ability of the Ancestral Dragon’s True Form, making him half-human and half-dragon.

However, the Ancestral Dragon’s True Form is too powerful. Even as a half-human and half-dragon, his bloodline is nobler than that of the East Sea Dragon King.

Therefore, the East Sea Dragon King was willing to give the Dragon Ball to Long Hanjie.

With just one glance, the East Sea Dragon King could see that these humans in front of him were not even comparable to the four Sea Kings outside, let alone be his opponents.

Hence, he decided to change the physical battle to a battle of wits, giving Long Hanjie a chance.

Upon hearing the East Sea Dragon King’s words, Long Hanjie was dumbfounded, “Chicken and rabbit in the same cage? What is that?”

At this moment, Ye Xuan said slowly, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be a math problem.”

Zhou Yun added, “Do I even need to guess? I seem to have heard of this allusion before; indeed, it is a math problem.”

Long Hanjie exclaimed, “Really? Then please tell me, how should we solve this problem?”

Zhou Yun hesitated, “I vaguely remember this problem. If you ask me to solve it, I really can’t.”

“My math has always been terrible. I struggle to score above sixty on a one hundred and fifty-point test. Asking me to solve this, isn’t that making things difficult for me? Long Hanjie, you must be good at math, right?”

Long Hanjie shrugged, “Sorry, I’ve been handsome since I was young. Girls started chasing me in junior high, and I’ve been busy dating. Zhou Yun, you struggle to score above sixty in math, do you know what I am? I can hardly score above sixty in all subjects combined. I’ve been busy dating, so Ye Xuan, it’s up to you to solve this problem.”

Both Long Hanjie and Zhou Yun looked at Ye Xuan expectantly, as he was their only hope.

Ye Xuan, seeing the hopeful gazes of the two, shook his head and said, “Don’t look at me. Before my spiritual energy was restored, I was a second-generation rich kid who was useless. I was often mistaken for a show-off and slapped in the face. Do you think I understand these things?”

Both Long Hanjie and Zhou Yun looked disappointed.

Then, Long Hanjie looked at the East Sea Dragon King hopefully and said, “Dragon King, none of us are good at math. Can you please lower the difficulty a bit?”

Upon hearing Long Hanjie’s words, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but recall his days in the classroom. You never appreciate something until it’s gone.

Back then, he was always staring at Mengli, trying to raise her favorability, and his grades were terrible. At that time, he thought, what’s the point of learning this stuff anyway?

Does solving a math problem in front of a monster mean the monster will let you go?

How quickly reality slapped him in the face. Now, solving this math problem could win him the Dragon Ball, which all four great sea kings were vying for. Who dares say math is useless?

It’s a pity that his math skills were truly terrible, and he couldn’t figure it out at all…

The East Sea Dragon King was also helpless at this moment. This human with the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon seems to lack intelligence. Birds of a feather flock together; even his companions are not very bright.

Although the East Sea Dragon King is the master of this Dragon Palace, he doesn’t have the authority to directly give the Dragon Ball to Long Hanjie. He can only lower the difficulty.

“Consider this: there are two heads and six feet in the same cage. How many chickens and rabbits are there?”

As soon as the East Sea Dragon King finished speaking, Long Hanjie loudly exclaimed, “Two heads and six feet? Isn’t that just one chicken and one rabbit? Am I right?”

The East Sea Dragon King couldn’t help but rub his forehead in annoyance. Are you still proud of yourself?

I’ve already given you a hint, yet you’re still so proud?

The East Sea Dragon King looked at Long Hanjie for a long time, wondering if he had made a mistake this time.

After hesitating for a long time, he sighed. Forget it, a fool is always a fool, after all, he still has the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon.

Then, the East Sea Dragon King said, “Come forward.”

Long Hanjie was puzzled, “Come forward? For what?”

The East Sea Dragon King said, “Stop the nonsense. Do you still want the Dragon Ball or not?”

Upon hearing this, Long Hanjie dared not say more and quickly stepped forward, coming in front of the East Sea Dragon King.

Then, the East Sea Dragon King placed one hand on the back of Long Hanjie’s head and directly kissed him on the mouth, lips to lips.

Long Hanjie’s face changed drastically, wanting to struggle, but the East Sea Dragon King’s thoughts echoed in Long Hanjie’s mind: “Don’t move, cooperate! If there’s a problem with the inheritance of the Dragon Ball, it will be your loss, not mine!”

Hearing this, Long Hanjie was immediately frightened and dared not move, obediently cooperating with the East Sea Dragon King.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Yun watched this scene in astonishment. If they had brought their phones, they would have wanted to record a video to enjoy later.

After hearing Long Hanjie’s words, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but think back to his days in the classroom. It’s a pity they didn’t have their phones; otherwise, they would have wanted to record this scene to watch later.

As Long Hanjie and the East Sea Dragon King kissed, a layer of golden light seemed to emanate from Long Hanjie’s body, while the East Sea Dragon King’s body gradually dimmed.

The kiss lasted for a full seven to eight minutes, and finally, the East Sea Dragon King’s body completely disappeared.

Long Hanjie burped and then let out a loud dragon chant.

The Dragon Ball had entered his body, increasing his power by seventy to eighty percent.

Moreover, in the near future, Long Hanjie’s strength would continue to grow rapidly.

It can be said that this Dragon Ball directly widened the gap between Long Hanjie and the contemporaneous geniuses!

Just as Long Hanjie was feeling proud, Zhou Yun’s voice sounded, “Long Hanjie, how does it feel to kiss a man? Can you share your thoughts?”
