After nightfall, the silvery moonlight in the sky was obscured by a few dark clouds, plunging everything into the darkness of the night.
Just as Dongfang Minghui remained vigilant of her surroundings, Little Colour suddenly asked, “What did Wenren Liangzhi mean by his words earlier?”
“What do you mean?”
“He said something about not using the holy medicine and using you as a substitute… Could it be that he knows about the special nature of your blood?” Little Colour asked tentatively. “And his words just now reminded me of something.”
“What thing?” Dongfang Minghui’s eyes flickered, showing a hint of uneasiness, but she quickly regained her composure. “He has lived for a hundred years, changed several bodies, and he is also a dark Spiritual Master. He might have connections with those death Spiritual Masters. It’s not surprising if he knows about the special nature of my blood.”
Little Colour nodded lightly and did not continue to delve deeper into the topic. After all, it had also chosen its partner based on their blood at a critical moment, so the issue of her partner’s blood was not a secret at all. “I remembered that after I followed Wenren Liangzhi out of the Nine Dragon Stone Gate, he went to the deepest level of the abyss, where he disappeared for a while.”
Dongfang Minghui’s black and white eyes shifted slightly. “It’s useless to talk about this now. We don’t even know the original location of the Sleepy Dragon Valley. If the Sleepy Dragon Seal is still there, maybe we can rely on it to find the way again.”
For a moment, Little Colour also felt a bit despondent. It always felt that there must be something at the bottom of the abyss, otherwise why would Wenren Liangzhi be so anxious?
“Even so, there are still many doubts that have not been resolved.” Little Colour thought of the disgusting black water pool. “Qian Ziyi and Qian Yiling also set foot in the Dragon Trapping Valley back then. If Qian Yiling escaped from the valley with the Sleepy Dragon Seal twenty years ago, what about Qian Ziyi?”
Combining Little Colour’s words before and after, Dongfang Minghui boldly speculated, “Are you suggesting that there is an exit beneath the abyss that we don’t know about, and both Uncle Wood and Wenren Liangzhi escaped from that exit?”
“Yeah.”
Unfortunately, the Sleepy Dragon Valley had collapsed, so it was unlikely to confirm this.
The two fell silent for a moment. Dongfang Minghui was still pondering whether Seventh Sister was trapped somewhere when she suddenly heard Little Colour say, “Listen, is something approaching us?”
“Don’t scare me, okay?”
If there really was something approaching them, how could Toothless not react at all?
Dongfang Minghui took out the few moonstones from her space ring and arranged them into a small heart shape. The light could barely illuminate an area of five meters in diameter.
“There really is something.” Little Colour shuddered and angrily said in her soul sea, “Why is Toothless not reacting at all?”
As the sound in her mind fell, a dark object emerged from the nearest sand, and with the faint light of the moonstone, Dongfang Minghui saw two large pincers and the tail part of a scorpion. One, two… More and more of these black scorpions emerged from the sand, brandishing their pincers and tails as they swarmed towards them.
“It’s scorpions.”
There were many different species of scorpions, and Dongfang Minghui had always been indifferent to these things. Moreover, they were aggressive and left no room for negotiation. In a moment, they were completely surrounded by the scorpions.
The location they had chosen before was quite special, near the edge of the sand, and beyond that was just ordinary soil. It seemed like two distinct places, but there was nothing there, not even a few stones would be good.
“These scorpions have been living in the sand for a long time, so theoretically they shouldn’t be poisonous. But looking at their black bodies, I always feel like they carry a strong poison themselves. We should be careful,” Dongfang Minghui said to Little Colour. “See if there’s anything nearby that we can use as a reference. Let’s escape before those scorpions attack us.”
“How do we escape?” Little Colour was fast, but she couldn’t withstand the group of poisonous scorpions chasing after her. However, upon closer inspection, she found that the scorpions were just moving around them and didn’t dare to take another step forward, as if they were afraid of something. “Are they afraid of Toothless, the silly dragon?”
Dongfang Minghui approached Toothless, and the little chubby baby had already woken up. Its beautiful eyes, like black grapes, blinked non-stop as it looked at the unfamiliar creatures surrounding them. The little chubby baby leaped lightly and jumped down from Toothless’s big head, landing steadily on the ground.
Toothless didn’t move at all, which seemed a bit unusual to Dongfang Minghui.
The little chubby baby quickly demonstrated her strength and interest in food. She swiftly picked up a poisonous scorpion with two fingers and the scorpion’s pincers desperately tried to get closer to her.
Crack, crack.
The little chubby paper quickly dismembered a scorpion and then continued to dismember another one. Before Dongfang Minghui could react, at least twenty-three of the surrounding scorpions were gone.
“You said the little chubby baby is a spiritual plant, right?” Such a ferocious spiritual plant exists? And it eats meat too.
“Maybe, possibly, she’s a mutated demonic plant,” Little Colour consoled, listening to the crisp cracking sound. It really wanted to ask the little chubby baby if those scorpions were really that delicious.
Dongfang Minghui saw the group of scorpions being collectively scared away by the little chubby baby, and the scene was too ridiculous. She approached Toothless and saw that Toothless was breathing normally. Out of habit, she lightly patted Toothless’s big head, and by chance, she touched the fiery red diamond on Toothless’s forehead.
A fiery red halo suddenly burst forth, and she felt a bright light flash by, and then the surrounding environment changed.
“Where is this place?”
“How would I know.”
Dongfang Minghui was too scared to move lightly. The spiritual stones in the space were all used up, and she had just wanted to touch the entanglement when she found herself being pushed back by a force. “Oh no, this place can seal off space!”
The place she was in was pitch black, even darker than before, and she couldn’t see her hand in front of her.
She groped her way forward, encountering no obstacles along the way. Time always seemed to pass slowly in the darkness, and suddenly a faint light appeared in front of her. The weak light seemed to be not far away, and she quickly ran towards it.
“Oh my.”
Dongfang Minghui had to stop when she was about three meters away from the faint light. What appeared before her was a faint blue halo, enveloping a skeleton, causing the entire skeleton, which was about thirty meters long, to emit a faint halo, looking exceptionally eerie in the pitch-black night. It seemed like a skeleton pieced together with countless ghostly fires. Dongfang Minghui was truly frightened, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but marvel at the spectacle before her. “This skeleton is even bigger than the one we encountered before.”
“Yeah,” Little Colour suggested, “keep walking forward and see what you find.”
Dongfang Minghui actually had a sense of retreat, but she had no idea where she was. Keeping a step-by-step mentality, she continued to move forward. The further she went, the faint light began to appear continuously. She could see that it was a huge palace with sky-reaching stone pillars on both sides, made of jade. Each jade pillar had a skeleton next to it. After looking at two or three of them, she said, “I seem to have accidentally entered here after touching the stone on Toothless’s forehead. Are these… related to Toothless?”
“These huge skeletons should all be remnants of the dragon race,” Little Colour had a bold guess, but they needed to confirm it themselves to know for sure. “Toothless may have been hiding here to cultivate, so he didn’t notice the scorpions.”
Dongfang Minghui didn’t even blink as she stood in the huge palace, empty and devoid of people. Everywhere were skeletons that had been dead for who knows how many years, and the colors of the skeletons were all different, dazzling. “Little Colour, why are the colors of these skeletons all different?”
She stopped in front of a skeleton emitting a black aura and reached out to touch the halos. As soon as she touched them, the black halos dodged like playing hide and seek.
Seeing this, Little Colour couldn’t help but warn, “Don’t touch it randomly. What if it’s the spiritual power released by a dark-type Spiritual Master?”
“By the way you say it, it seems to be the case.” There are ten types of Spiritual Masters, and she had seen about seven or eight of them so far. The colors of those skeletons indeed matched the aura emitted by human Spiritual Masters.
Next, Dongfang Minghui wholeheartedly searched for the skeletons emitting white halos. One, it represented the pure light-type Spiritual Master, and two, she had never seen one after looking for so long, which made it particularly rare.
As a result, she didn’t find the skeleton emitting a white halo, but she did find Toothless first.
Toothless was currently cultivating, emitting a strong fire-type spiritual power. Even from ten meters away, Dongfang Minghui could feel the scorching light. She hid behind a jade pillar, feeling puzzled. There was a Toothless outside, and there was also a Toothless here. “Strange, how can there be two Toothlesses?”
“It’s consciousness,” Little Colour interrupted her. “Just like the part of consciousness you and your Seventh Sister separated from before, the dormant Toothless outside is obviously because the entire consciousness has been drawn into here, so there is no response to the outside world.”
Inner-world cultivation is similar to dividing one’s attention for cultivation. Under normal circumstances, no one would want to cultivate in this way, as one’s consciousness might not be able to return if they are not careful.
Little Colour speculated that Toothless was probably using this method for the first time, so it had no defenses against people close to it, which led to them accidentally entering this place. The fiery red gem embedded in its forehead should be the carrier.
“This should be Toothless’s world.”
“Ah,” Dongfang Minghui sighed. Since hatching from the egg, this little guy had been living carefree, but it seemed that it had grown up since entering the Dragon Valley. Not only had its strength increased, but it seemed that something had changed.
Just like this time, she clearly felt Toothless’s alienation. Perhaps, when Toothless’s spiritual wisdom is fully opened, it will distance itself from her?
Dongfang Minghui hugged the jade pillar and kept watching Toothless, who was surrounded by flames. Toothless’s body was constantly growing taller, majestic and imposing. From a distance, it gave people a sense of psychological dominance, somewhat like the dragon god in that portrait. She felt both happy and worried. She was happy that Toothless had become even more powerful than before, but worried that after opening its spiritual wisdom, it would understand that she, its adoptive mother, was different from its true family.
“It won’t grow any more meat even if you keep looking at it. It’s better to take this opportunity to explore this place.” In Little Colour’s memory, Toothless had probably plundered treasures, but it was unclear what treasures this place held.
Dongfang Minghui shook her head repeatedly. “No, you’d better accompany me to figure out how to get out.”
Toothless’s world, she had inadvertently intruded into it, just like peeping into its personal privacy. This feeling was really unpleasant.
“Little Fatty is still left outside. Besides those scorpions, what if she encounters that perverted Wenren Liangzhi?” Dongfang Minghui felt it was too dangerous.
“Given Little Fatty’s combat power, Wenren Liangzhi might not be able to defeat her,” Little Colour said, feeling like she might have exaggerated a bit. “What I mean is, Little Fatty’s escape skills are top-notch, and Wenren Liangzhi might not be able to catch her.”
“That’s true,” Dongfang Minghui finally felt a bit relieved, but she still couldn’t shake off her unease. “I’m still not very at ease.”
If Wenren Liangzhi, that pervert, doesn’t find the holy medicine, he might still chase after her everywhere. Thinking about this, Dongfang Minghui felt a headache, as if she would have to stay in this place for the rest of her life.
After pondering for a while, Toothless came treading with golden flames, his massive body stepping in front of her.
“Mother.”
“Little Toothless.”
Toothless tilted his head, not understanding why Dongfang Minghui was here. “Why is Mother here?”
Dongfang Minghui knelt down and reached out to stroke Toothless’s large head. She was about to explain when the scene changed, and Dongfang Minghui was back in the outside world.
The sunlight outside was already high in the sky, moving towards the center. It was already noon, and there was not a single shadow around, not even a trace of Little Fatty.
“Little Fatty!”
The thing Dongfang Minghui feared the most had happened. She stood up suddenly and searched around.
The scorpions that appeared last night had left no trace, as if it was all a dream. If it weren’t for the fire-red gem embedded in Toothless’s forehead, shining brightly in the sunlight.
“Could Wenren Liangzhi have taken her away?”
“Don’t panic. It’s so hot today, maybe Little Fatty just went to fetch water.”
Thinking about Little Fatty’s previous actions, Dongfang Minghui tried to convince herself that she had just gone to fetch water, and not been captured by the perverted Wenren Liangzhi. “Well, let’s wait a little longer.”
Half an hour later, just as Toothless was starting to feel a bit scorched by the sun, a small figure slowly appeared in their field of vision.
Little Fatty was holding a leaf in one hand and dragging something with the other, which seemed quite large, like a blind monster.
Dongfang Minghui stood up excitedly. “This little one is really lucky. From now on, let’s call her Lucky.”
Little Colour: “…”
Little Fatty was very happy to see Toothless and Dongfang Minghui. She quickened her steps and soon reached them. After handing the leaf carrying water to Dongfang Minghui, Little Fatty used one hand to drag out the thing behind her.
Dongfang Minghui shook her hand, causing most of the water in the leaves to shake off. She quickly drank some of the water and handed a little to Toothless.
Toothless swallowed the leaves and water in one go, efficiently.
“Why is there a person?”
“Little Fatty, no, well, for now, let’s stick with Little Fatty.” Dongfang Minghui always felt that this little thing would occasionally do something to scare her. Her heart was almost scared to death by Little Fatty.
She took a step forward, first checking the person’s breathing. The weak breath and the rising and falling chest indicated that the person was still alive. Upon closer inspection, she found that the person’s wounds were mostly scratches, large and deep. The injuries on the back were particularly severe, and being dragged back by Little Fatty just now…
In addition to the bloodstains, there was a lot of sand in the wounds, making the situation even worse.
“This person looks like a member of the beast clan.”
“Yeah.”
Dongfang Minghui had already identified the person’s identity when she checked. The bones of the beast clan’s hands and feet felt a bit strange, probably due to the beast transformation. Their limbs were particularly stiff and swollen. “I don’t know where this little thing picked him up from.”
Little Fatty was especially happy to see Toothless and, after throwing the person to Dongfang Minghui, started pestering Toothless to let her sit on its head.
Toothless, who had no idea that the person had been on its head for most of the night, was now awake and would not allow her to be so presumptuous. In the end, it was up to each of them.
Little Fatty had two abilities, which Dongfang Minghui was aware of. One was immense strength, able to easily lift Toothless’ body, and the second was the ability to make herself as light as a feather…
Dongfang Minghui also discovered by accident that Little Fatty had no weight when sitting on her shoulder. Coupled with the fact that Little Fatty had climbed onto Toothless’ head yesterday and failed to wake him up, it was evident that she had real abilities.
“They’re fighting.”
“Yeah.”
Dongfang Minghui multitasked, helping the patient clean the wounds while keeping an eye on Little Fatty and Toothless.
Little Fatty jumped around, and when she jumped, she just managed to touch Toothless’ head. Unfortunately, she was about to hit Toothless’ forehead, and the dazzling ruby emitted a bright light. Because of this, Toothless got angry.
When the huge dragon’s roar spread out, Dongfang Minghui’s ears rang, and she couldn’t react for several moments. Little Fatty, who was facing Toothless’ anger, was surrounded by golden flames and screamed in agony.
Little Fatty was also clever. After rolling on the ground and realizing that the sand couldn’t extinguish the flames, she immediately jumped onto Dongfang Minghui.
“Damn it!” Dongfang Minghui, who was burned by the flames, had to leave the patient and desperately tried to put out the fire in the open space. But she knew that only Toothless could extinguish the flames. Helplessly, she brought Little Fatty to Toothless. “Toothless—”
Toothless quickly sucked the flames back. Dongfang Minghui’s clothes had turned into short sleeves and shorts, with several holes in her robe. Little Fatty’s clothes were no better, burned into rags with a hole in the chest and another in the back, revealing fair and tender skin. “Still want to play?” Little Fatty’s chubby fingers fiddled with each other as he lowered his head, looking extremely obedient. Dongfang Minghui glanced at Toothless, who looked at her with innocent eyes and weakly rested its big head on its front paws. She couldn’t help but smile wryly. These two little guys would fight at the drop of a hat, but now they had called a truce without a word. “I wonder how long they can behave.” Fortunately, the flames were not as big as fireballs, or she and Little Fatty would have turned into roast pigs today.
Even so, her hands and feet still felt a burning sensation, probably because the temperature of the sunlight itself was not weak. Dongfang Minghui searched through the space and finally found a special bottle in the corner – sunscreen. She first grabbed Little Fatty and searched all over, finding a red mark. She applied the sunscreen to him. “Okay, don’t get it wet, or it’ll be for nothing.”
Whether the other party understood or not, after Little Fatty finished applying the ointment, Dongfang Minghui applied some to herself. “Does this count as being innocent?” Little Colour seemed to be pondering in the Sea of Souls. “I guess.”
After she finished tending to herself, Dongfang Minghui earnestly cleaned the sand and dirt from the orc’s wounds with a needle, applied the medicine, and bandaged them. Then she sat back down next to Toothless. The trouble caused by the fire had stopped Little Fatty from pestering Toothless. But Dongfang Minghui could see something in Little Fatty’s black grape-like eyes – this matter was not over.
When the sun set, the beast-man grunted a few times, probably because the wounds on his body were almost dried out by the sun. Dongfang Minghui carefully checked again and was very relieved that the previous ointment had probably been completely absorbed by the other party. This young and strong body had potential.
At night, when the breeze blew over, the beast-man lying on the ground woke up and stared straight at Dongfang Minghui with his beautiful brown eyes for a long time.
“What are you looking at? Get up by yourself when you wake up.”
Dongfang Minghui didn’t know when she had developed a slight resistance to such direct male gaze. This subtle resistance had not been very obvious before. She had always thought that she would be like this because of the heinous crimes committed by the original owner, otherwise she would not avoid men like the plague.
But it wasn’t until Mo Ce’s sudden behavior that she felt a nauseating feeling like a fishbone stuck in her throat. She could treat people and accept her hands touching them, but now she couldn’t quite accept the other party’s naked gaze. “Did you save me?”
Dongfang Minghui looked at him unexpectedly and said, “It was Little Fatty who saved you. Go back where you came from.”
The beast-man lay on the ground for a while, gritted his teeth and got up, causing the wounds on his abdomen to burst open again. A faint smell of blood entered Dongfang Minghui’s nostrils as the breeze blew by.
Dongfang Minghui raised her eyebrows in displeasure.
“Sorry, I’ll leave immediately.” The beast-man looked around, clearly lost, but seeing Dongfang Minghui’s cold expression, he hesitated to ask and chose a path that led away from them.
Stumbling, his figure quickly disappeared.
“I thought you would have a flood of sympathy and keep him here,” Little Colour said with some surprise.
“I almost did.” Dongfang Minghui almost spoke out of pity, but when she thought of the perverted Wenren Liangzi, she didn’t dare to confide in a stranger, especially since the beast-man spoke the human language as well, which was unusual.
Why should she bring more trouble upon herself, or expose herself to others again.
“I haven’t seen anyone living within a hundred miles of here. It’s strange for a beast-man to suddenly appear here.”
“As long as you know.” Dongfang Minghui’s gaze shifted to Little Fatty. If Little Fatty could speak, it would probably save a lot of trouble, but unfortunately, not only could she not speak, her brain also seemed a bit dim, always doing unexpected things.
“Little Fatty, come here.”
Fatty blinked her black eyes and slowly shuffled over, then hugged her leg and lay down.
The moonlight tonight was very beautiful, the dark clouds had long dispersed, and the silver halo illuminated the earth, adding a touch of beauty. The sand that had sparkled like gold in the moonlight during the day now looked like a golden mountain.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Dongfang Minghui checked Little Fatty’s injuries while she looked pitiful.
“Ah—help—”
A scream made all three of them stand up in alarm. Little Fatty, who had been hugging her leg, now hugged her waist, her chubby little hands were surprisingly strong. Dongfang Minghui even felt her waist tighten, the force almost suffocating her.
Toothless didn’t enter its world to cultivate again. It elegantly walked back and forth on all fours until the beast-man appeared, followed by a large group of white wolves. Its bright dragon eyes sparkled with delight.
“Roar—”
Toothless pounced and pinned the lead white wolf to the ground, then opened its huge mouth and bit the white wolf, causing it to gasp for breath, before flinging it back into the wolf pack.
The beast tribe members were covered in bite marks on their hands and legs, with blood flowing all the way. It was a shocking sight. When they arrived at Dongfang Minghui’s side, they were barely clinging to life. One of them even grabbed onto Dongfang Minghui’s scorched trousers, while the other one stood on the other side. It looked quite harmonious.
Dongfang Minghui gently patted the hand of the beast tribe member, signaling him not to worry too much. “Now it’s better. The continuous dragon roars indicate that if we still haven’t seen Seventh Sister and Wenren Liangzhi by tomorrow, we don’t need to wait any longer.”
Little Colour rubbed its chin in contemplation. “Do you think this person did it on purpose?”
“Half and half.”
Dongfang Minghui watched Toothless being surrounded by a group of white wolves. In the sea of white, the black color of Toothless stood out. The wolves looked at Toothless, wanting to attack but not daring to. They all crouched low, seemingly afraid of Toothless.
The pressure of the dragon tribe was quite effective at times. At least these white wolves dared not take another step forward.
Toothless fought bravely, biting and throwing the wolves away, creating a path of blood.
“Toothless probably doesn’t need any help.”
“Are you going to save this person or not?” Little Colour curiously extended a vine and poked the person’s wound a few times, delighting in seeing the person frown before fainting. Little Colour mischievously poked a few more times.
Dongfang Minghui rolled her eyes in disdain. “Since the person is already in front of us, there’s no reason not to save him.”
“If we save him, I’ll let you take your time to deal with him. If we don’t, I’ll just throw him into the wolf pack to feed the wolves,” Little Colour complained indignantly. “These wolves were definitely attracted by the smell of blood on him. It’s probably going to be a restless night.”
“Let’s save him and see what tricks he’s trying to pull.” Dongfang Minghui decided to save him. The person’s injuries were not very deep, and although the moonlight was good, it was difficult to see the depth of the wounds clearly. Dongfang Minghui also had a nonchalant attitude as she cleaned the person’s wounds, disinfected them with alcohol, and slowly bandaged them.
The person could endure the pain of being poked at the wound without making a sound.
Dongfang Minghui really wanted to remind him that this was the rhythm of exposure. Ordinary people couldn’t endure injuries without making a sound. Moreover, a beast tribe person spoke the human language so well. She had only encountered two of them so far, one was Kas and the other was Karu. She didn’t know how they were doing now.
After she finished dealing with things here, she turned around and saw a pile of white wolf corpses, and a large number of white wolves had fled in fear after seeing Toothless’s ferocity.
Toothless shook his head and spat out several fist-sized fireballs, burning the white wolves to ashes.
“Toothless, these white wolves should have energy cores that can be absorbed. Next time we encounter them, take those things—” Dongfang Minghui was interrupted by Toothless, who flashed a pair of energy cores emitting a sandy yellow spiritual power under his claws. “Toothless, well done!”
Hearing the familiar praise again, Toothless joyfully rubbed his big head against Dongfang Minghui.
A strong smell of blood wafted over, and she hurriedly hugged Toothless’s big head, intentionally avoiding the red gem on Toothless’s forehead. “Toothless, are you injured somewhere?”
“No, mother.”
“Be good, don’t move, let mother check for you.” Dongfang Minghui found that Toothless’s previous injuries had healed, which should be related to Toothless’s conscious cultivation. She checked and didn’t find any wounds before letting him go.
“Mother, mother, let’s go to the place we went to yesterday.” Toothless reached out his forelimb and tugged at Dongfang Minghui’s sleeve, but ended up tearing it, turning the three-quarter sleeve into a half sleeve.
“Uh…” Dongfang Minghui had a headache. She had just been lazy and didn’t change her clothes in time, but now she couldn’t relax at all. After searching in the space, she quickly changed into a new set of clothes and pulled Toothless to a dark place where she couldn’t see her hand in front of her face.
“Toothless, where did you get this red gem on your forehead?” Dongfang Minghui wanted to touch it, but the thought of possibly entering Toothless’s world again made her freeze in mid-air, and then she recoiled. “And where is the place you mentioned yesterday?”
Toothless tilted his head, probably not understanding her meaning. “Mother, the place we went to yesterday is the Dragon Clan’s hiding place. The guardian ancestor asked me to go there.”
“Huh, isn’t the Dragon Clan’s hiding place in the Dragon Valley?” Dongfang Minghui still remembered the iron gate in the deep pool, with the words ‘Dragon Clan’s hiding place’ above it. Because of this, she had even provoked ten illusory figures. “And where did you get this red gem?”
Toothless looked confused. “What red gem?”
Seeing its bewildered look, Dongfang Minghui searched in the space for a while and found a piece of broken mirror. “Toothless, look—”
Bang!
The mirror in Dongfang Minghui’s hand turned into fragments, and she was really startled by the sudden noise.
Toothless also took a step back, startled by the sudden shattering of the mirror.
The two of them looked at each other in silence. Dongfang Minghui guessed that Toothless had obtained this red gem by accident, so she immediately refused, “The Dragon Clan’s hiding place is definitely a place only the Dragon Clan can enter. Toothless, I don’t belong to the Dragon Clan, so I won’t go there in the future.”
Toothless was very sad. There was no Dragon Clan aura on mother’s body, so she really wasn’t its mother. But mother could enter the Dragon Clan’s hiding place, so… was she really its mother?
“Toothless, don’t let anyone touch the area on your forehead, and absolutely don’t let anyone enter the Dragon Clan’s hiding place, understand?”
“Toothless, did you hear me?”
Toothless shook his big head, not listening at all. He just buried his whole head in Dongfang Minghui’s arms, pushing her back.
Dongfang Minghui gently patted him. “My Toothless is growing up and will soon become an adult, but still likes to act spoiled.” When he grows up, he will have his own concerns. If Toothless really wants to find the Dragon Clan in the future, she will have to discuss it with Seventh Sister. “If Toothless wants to find your relatives, I will definitely accompany you to find them, okay?”
After a while of cuddling, when they went back, they saw the beast-man still unconscious, and Little Fatty was sitting on his back, the place where Dongfang Minghui had just bandaged.
Dongfang Minghui touched her forehead. It seemed that no matter what she did, Little Fatty would still sit in the same spot. She checked and found that the little thing hadn’t been pressing on the beastman’s wound. She sighed and let Little Fatty go in the end.
“Little Colour, can you make Little Fatty speak?”
“No.”
“Do you know what kind of creature Little Fatty is? I’ve never seen a spirit plant that eats meat before.” Thinking about the other party eating those poisonous scorpions at such a fast speed, and that eerie sound occasionally echoing in her ears.
“No.”
Because Toothless had burned the white wolf’s corpse to ashes with flames, along with the scent of blood, the latter half of the night was relatively peaceful. At least, under Toothless’s watch, nothing dared to approach them.
The next day, just as the sky was getting light, Little Fatty walked away barefoot.
Dongfang Minghui had always known that Little Fatty went to fetch water, even Wenren Liangzi had gone with it once before. She opened her eyes and saw the beast-man still lying motionless on the ground, so she stood up and followed.
As she walked, Toothless followed along as well.
Little Fatty was very cheerful, bouncing and jumping with great speed. Dongfang Minghui had been following not too far behind, and she noticed that the distance between them was constantly increasing.
“Is this shrinking the ground into an inch?”
She had once studied with Qian Wanyu what the core of shrinking the ground into an inch was. Seeing Little Fatty jumping like this and still able to increase the distance, she couldn’t help but feel that she had made the right choice this time.
After about half an hour, Dongfang Minghui felt something was not quite right. They had walked from the edge of the sand back to the center of the sand, and even passed through the green area where she had woken up before. “Little Fatty has been going to find water these past few days, and I thought it was nearby, but I didn’t expect it to be so far away.”
“We have no relation to this little fatty, why is she so good to you?” Little Colour couldn’t understand. This Little Fatty was unusually strange, not selling favors to anyone, but unexpectedly coming back and forth to find water for Dongfang Minghui, and each time not fetching much water, just using a single leaf to hold it.
“Let’s just watch.” Dongfang Minghui didn’t know why she had always regarded this Little Fatty as that sacred medicine, which was bright and clean, emitting a faint white halo, but the characteristics of Little Fatty also matched. “If it’s the sacred medicine, it doesn’t need to treat me like this.”
At that time, she had selfishly wanted to take the sacred medicine, for Qian Yiling, for Qian Ziyi, or for Seventh Sister. What if someone among them needed this sacred medicine one day?
Unfortunately, the sacred medicine had already gained intelligence, and it was a mature sacred medicine. It was particularly insistent, unwilling to leave the Dragon Valley, even when the valley collapsed, it still persisted.
It was truly rare.
And quite a pity.
Dongfang Minghui couldn’t describe her feelings when she thought of that sacred medicine. However, after walking for nearly an hour, when she saw Little Fatty arrive at the water source, she was completely dumbfounded.
“Little Colour, tell me, am I having a hallucination in my eyes?”
“No, you’re not.”
