Chapter 108 A Plan to Turn the Tide
What secrets could Senior Yanlong possibly have?
Although Lan Yue was puzzled, she quickly clicked on the title.
[Ahem, so even when Senior Flame Dragon was still a dragon egg, he was already this... indescribable! It cracks me up! Haha!]
The other kids around were incredibly curious, but they also blatantly stopped to listen to his thoughts.
So we just went there and each of us tried it out, pretending, but actually we were all listening intently.
[When Senior Yanlong was pregnant with him, his mother didn't feel anything at all. Later, when he was born, his mother thought she'd just expelled a pile of poop, and then flew away in the blink of an eye. Hilarious! She's definitely his mother!]
Lan Yue didn't notice that Senior Yanlong's nose twitched and his whiskers twitched a few times.
The others' eyes lit up, and they all sped up their work.
[Only the Flame Dragon was left all alone inside the dragon egg. Fortunately, the dragon was lucky enough to be picked up by a dragon bird in the ancient forest.]
However, the Dragon Sparrow had countless enemies. Even before it was fully formed, the Flame Dragon had been targeted countless times, with many plotting to assassinate it. These included, but were not limited to, throwing it off cliffs, swallowing it whole, or roasting it in flames.
However, if dragon eggs were so easily broken, the dragon race wouldn't be ancient divine beasts. So in the end, after giving their enemies a hard time, the dragon elder voluntarily returned them.
Haha, I didn't expect that Senior Dragon could escape those enemies but not Mother Dragon Sparrow. Seeing how hard its shell was, the Dragon Sparrow knew it wasn't a Dragon Sparrow egg, so it secretly put it in the nest of a Bursting Chicken.
After being born, Senior Dragon kept asking Mother Explosive Chicken why it didn't have wings, why its body was so long, and why it didn't have feathers. It could ask hundreds of "whys" a day...
The little dragon from "100,000 Whys" made Mother Hen very irritated, so she put it back inside the eggshell and sat back down.
[I'm dying of laughter! I can picture it in my mind! I absolutely have to open the system screen and see what Senior Yanlong was like as a child. Ah, here it comes, here it comes! Let me see the scene of Lord Yanlong getting sat on!]
Hehe, here's an emoji first. Let me scroll down further, there's more to come.
It turns out that Senior Flame Dragon has always been a defiant person since childhood. If he's told not to ask something, he'll do it anyway. So he secretly ran out and went to find the other Bursting Chickens in the Ancient Forest, asking each one for a feather. The word "asking" is in quotes because he would beat them up if they didn't give him one.
Finally, it stuck all the feathers onto its scales, successfully disguising itself as a "bursting chicken."
Lan Yue, engrossed in watching, didn't notice that the constant clanging and hammering had already stopped.
Everyone looked on with sympathy, and even Yunxi hesitated to speak.
[The dragon was thrown out by the hen again, and he was heartbroken. He began his stumbling journey to find his mother.]
Later, Senior Yanlong finally found his dragon mother, who looked exactly like him, and was overjoyed. However, his dragon mother replied strangely, "Who are you?"
After hearing her son's explanation, the mother was still puzzled: "Wasn't what I pooped last time a pile of poop?"
Just as Lan Yue was about to continue flipping down, a huge gust of air suddenly rose up, and rolling flames rushed over, sending her flying into the air.
Lan Yue, who was just engrossed in watching the drama unfold, was still in a daze when she looked down again and discovered that Senior Yanlong had opened his fiery red eyes and was breathing dragon breath.
Her friends around her were also lifted into the air by the huge pillar of fire, spinning around in the air.
"So Senior Yanlong has already woken up." Lan Yue's eyes lit up.
Why does she feel like something good always happens whenever she's gossiping?
After the last melon, we went straight to the Land of Inheritance. The time before that, after the melon, the sect quickly found the traitor.
After eating the melon, Lord Yanlong woke up quickly.
However, there have been some unexpected events, such as what is happening now.
They fluttered around in the air like moths, blown about by Senior Yanlong.
If it weren't for the protective barrier given by the fairy sister, Lan Yue felt that her hair would probably be burnt to a crisp by now.
But if you think about it carefully, it's understandable. Anyone would get angry if they were woken up by so many people making noise while they were sleeping.
So the group dared not speak out in anger, and just swung around in the air for who knows how long.
"Alright, Yanlong, there are still very important things to do. Don't bother these kids anymore."
Suddenly, a bronze-colored nine-story pagoda flew out, and a woman with long hair and a long dress appeared out of thin air.
Looking at the familiar little tower, Lan Yue touched the back of her head.
Why did she feel like the little tower flew out from the back of her head?
The appearance of the Nine-Story Pagoda's consciousness finally calmed Yanlong down, and he released all of them.
Lan Yue and the others fell down one by one.
A barrier surrounded the Flame Dragon's body, and the Nine-Story Tower's consciousness appeared before the Flame Dragon, seemingly whispering something to him.
Not long after, the barrier was removed, and a beautiful woman appeared behind Lan Yue.
"Take out that ten-thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Pearl and let Senior Yanlong take a look."
Only after the beautiful woman spoke did Lan Yue belatedly hand over the Fire Spirit Orb.
Yanlong stared at the Fire Spirit Orb for a long time, his eyes still showing some uncertainty.
[Lan Yue: Senior Yanlong couldn't possibly have missed it, could he? After all, he didn't notice it in the original story, otherwise how could he have transformed into a demonic bone dragon later on?]
[System: The demons came prepared. This Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Spirit Orb contains dragon breath, which can mask the dragons' senses.]
However, if the dragons observe carefully, they can still distinguish them, after all, they are an ancient race.
[Lan Yue: System, I've noticed you've been talking a lot more lately, unlike before when you were clueless and couldn't respond no matter how I called you.]
[System: I'm worried you might run away or default on your debts, so I need to keep a close eye on you.]
[Lan Yue:...]
The person who owed a huge amount of points felt very guilty and looked around.
Yanlong glanced in their direction, then closed his eyes and exhaled a burst of scorching smoke.
The Ten Thousand Year Fire Spirit Orb burned under the flames of the Flame Dragon. After an unknown amount of time, a scream suddenly came from inside the Fire Spirit Orb.
Just as Yanlong was about to increase his dragon breath to burn the demonic seed inside to ashes, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Wait!" Lan Yue quickly stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Even the nine-story pagoda's consciousness, the beautiful woman, looked over.
"I'm saying, we don't really need to burn this demon seed to death. After all, if the demon seed dies, the demons over there will definitely come after it, and they might have other plans…"
This was something Lan Yue suddenly thought of. She figured that once the demon seed died, the other side would notice and change the plan, right?
Who knows what kind of trouble the demons will cause by then? It's better to let the demons think the plan has succeeded.
"You're right, we really shouldn't have been so reckless." The beautiful woman thought it made perfect sense.
"However, my time is running out, and Senior Yanlong will fall into slumber again. Tell us your plans and resolve this now." The Nine-Story Tower's consciousness was somewhat anxious.
"I think we can extract the demon seed and plant it in something else. We can't let it die so quickly."
Lan Yue suggested.
"Then this ten-thousand-year-old fire spirit pearl can be used to purify it and help Senior Yanlong heal his injuries."
The reason those demons brought the Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Spirit Pearl must be because it could quickly heal Senior Flame Dragon's injuries.
Otherwise, in the original story, Senior Flame Dragon wouldn't have fallen for the trick so quickly. It's very likely that Senior Dragon's injuries had worsened, and he urgently needed the Fire Spirit Orb to repair them.
"Yes, but I've already disturbed it. It might take a long time to peel off the demon seed without it noticing."
Yanlong thought the suggestion was acceptable, but he simply couldn't wait.
It had already exhausted its primordial power to wake up this time.
If that little guy hadn't been so annoying, it definitely wouldn't have woken up so quickly.
"We'll help too!" Lan Yue and her friends exchanged glances and came over.
"Or, how about we put it in the alchemy furnace and burn it?" Yunxi held up the alchemy furnace in her hand.
"It's inside the Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Spirit Pearl, so it's definitely not afraid of fire." Wu Tianya shook her head.
[Lan Yue: System, could you lend me some more points so I can try it out in the lab?]
The system vanished in an instant.
Lan Yue: "..."
