Chapter 697 - 696: Mo Yan: Do You Guys Think I’m Stupid?

Chapter 697: Chapter 696: Mo Yan: Do You Guys Think I’m Stupid?

Mu Lin was genuinely worried they would be killed. Even if they weren’t, she was still concerned that Senior Loach would expose his Cultivation.

But she didn’t quite understand. Could one really win love this way?

She asked the Tier Nine Dragon, "Is this how the entire Dragon Race pursues love? For us humans, being strong enough is all it takes."

The Tier Nine Dragon: "..."

’How was he supposed to answer that?’

He’d never pursued anyone either. He had gone into hiding a long, long time ago.

’But being powerful is definitely the most important factor.’

Besides, the other party was a Loach, after all. A Loach pursuing a member of the Dragon Race was unrealistic to begin with.

And a member of the Holy Beast Dragon Race at that—the most prideful of them all.

That was why he’d never been optimistic about the Loach’s chances.

Mu Lin said, "I still don’t think much of the Holy Dragon. She’s too selfish."

The Tier Nine Dragon said, "Theoretically, how can a Loach even be compared to a Dragon?"

"Er..." Mu Lin couldn’t answer. She too, subconsciously felt that a Loach was inferior to a member of the Dragon Race.

Then she added, "Even so, the Holy Dragon could be a little more humble. After all, she would have died long ago without Senior Loach. He’s the one who saved her."

The Tier Nine Dragon said, "The Holy Dragon never begged him for help. He chose to save her on his own, so who can he blame?"

Mu Lin said, "She did ask for help."

The Tier Nine Dragon said, "She didn’t use the word ’beg’."

"..." ’Isn’t that just splitting hairs?’

Besides, she just felt it was wrong. The Holy Dragon’s attitude was simply unacceptable.

A savior was a savior. Unless the Holy Dragon didn’t want to live—but she clearly did.

Now that he had saved her life, for her to treat Senior Loach like this was just wrong on her part.

Anyway, in Mu Lin’s eyes, looking at it from a human perspective, the Holy Dragon was in the wrong.

But Senior Loach was willing, so there was nothing anyone could do about it. Not even the one hanging in the sky.

After getting their next objective, the Tier Nine Dragon and his companion continued on their way.

Fortunately, they were fast enough; otherwise, there was no telling how much time they would have wasted. Still, they needed to rest, so taking some time was a good thing.

Jiang Zuo retracted his Thousand World Pupils. He had just taken a look, and he had no comment on the Holy Dragon’s attitude.

He just wanted to see what the Divine Dragon’s attitude was.

’By now, he should be getting more and more afraid of being discovered as the Divine Dragon, right?’

’Unless he no longer cares what the Holy Dragon thinks of him.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t know how things would ultimately develop. All he needed to do was continuously apply pressure on them until their spirits broke.

The more prideful the Holy Dragon was, the more brutally she would be crushed. He would just have to see how she would change.

Standing on the Spiritual Dragon’s head, Jiang Zuo said, "To the next island."

He was currently holding a coin in his hand. How should he put it... unexpected things always tended to happen.

He needed to make some preparations in advance, and he also had to keep an eye on Su Qi’s situation.

It would be best if he could find a safe place for her.

Once he had handled everything, he would let her feel as though she had been busy for a long time and had finally completed her task.

That would naturally be the best-case scenario.

"Senior, aren’t we going to chase after the Holy Dragon and the others?" the Spiritual Dragon asked.

Jiang Zuo shook his head and asked, "Who is the strongest in Earth Valley Longyuan?"

The Spiritual Dragon answered without hesitation, "The Divine Dragon, of course. He’s widely recognized as the strongest, and he’s the one in charge here now.

By the way, Senior, aren’t you worried about the Divine Dragon’s retaliation?

I heard he thinks very highly of the Holy Dragon.

That Holy Dragon is a tough one, though. Still not using the Divine Dragon’s name to threaten us at a time like this."

Jiang Zuo said, "Don’t worry about the Divine Dragon. He won’t interfere."

The Spiritual Dragon was shocked. ’As expected, Senior is the most powerful of all. Even the Divine Dragon wouldn’t dare to act presumptuously.’

’Having carried such a great senior on my back... I wonder if I’ll ever get the chance to brag about this in the future.’

’Who else has had such an honor?’

’From now on, I might even be able to hold my head high wherever I go.’

’Of course, that’s only if I make it through this battle safely.’

While Jiang Zuo was heading elsewhere, Su Qi had already arrived at the location where she had sensed the message.

It was a lake with a pavilion by its shore. The moment Su Qi saw the pavilion, she saw two figures suddenly appear within it.

It was a man and a woman. The woman was sitting on the edge of the pavilion, her feet in the lake, leisurely kicking the water.

The man sat behind the woman. They were back-to-back, though it was mostly so the woman could lean against him.

Upon seeing them, Su Qi knew the "video" had begun.

Jingyue wouldn’t be able to see the "video" this time; she had already entered a deep state of comprehension.

Jiang Zuo saw it. He was idle at the moment, so he could watch it without any issue.

He just didn’t know if it would be of any use.

The one in the most awkward position, however, was Qing Lian.

She had stopped once again and said, very awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist Hai Bian, I..."

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Just rest. I’ll take the opportunity to look around for any special Spirit Medicines."

Qing Lian bowed slightly. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hai Bian."

What else could Blade Master Hai Bian say?

After all, she was a young lady from the Holy Land, and a polite Fairy to boot.

She hadn’t been much help, but she hadn’t caused any trouble either, aside from needing to stop and rest every now and then.

’I’ll probably get used to it.’

However, he realized that whether it was Mo Yan or Chi Xue Child’s group, they had all run into all sorts of bizarre things.

’Why haven’t I encountered anything yet?’

’Is this considered good luck or bad luck?’

Qing Lian was sitting by the river when a pitch-black creature suddenly leaped out, trying to devour her whole.

Blade Master Hai Bian paid it no mind. A flash of Golden Light shielded Qing Lian from behind, and with another glint of light, the pitch-black creature was instantly obliterated.

Judging by Blade Master Hai Bian’s unconcerned expression, he must have dealt with this sort of thing several times already.

At that moment, Blade Master Hai Bian checked his phone again and saw that Mo Yan was still hauling wood to cook the Dragon Egg.

’Does she really think a Dragon Egg can be roasted?’

Just then, Mo Yan sent a message in the group chat: "Do you all think I’m an idiot? How could a normal fire possibly cook a Dragon Egg?"

Liu Yiyi: "No, it’s because you’re an idiot to begin with."

Blade Master Hai Bian watched silently, saying nothing.

He was older and had a higher Cultivation, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to crush Mo Yan’s spirits.

Fairy Mo Yan: "Childish and shortsighted. How could you possibly understand me, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan? I have a complete plan."

After that, Mo Yan took out a transparent bottle. Inside the bottle was a mass of seven-colored flame.

She took a picture and sent it to the group chat, saying, "See this? Seven-Color Dyeing Fire! Just the name sounds incredibly powerful. Even the Samadhi True Fire doesn’t have this many colors. There’s absolutely no problem using this to cook it."

’That flame does look pretty incredible. A seven-colored flame... I’ve never heard of such a thing.’

Blade Master Hai Bian: "Where did you get it?"

Fairy Mo Yan: "Last time I went to check on the situation outside Chi Xue Child’s master’s treasury, I saw a rat carrying this thing in its mouth. How can a mere rat possess something like this?

It looked so dangerous, and it came from the direction of the treasury. Naturally, it was my responsibility to confiscate it.

I didn’t even go to my Martial Uncle to take credit for it. Doing good deeds without seeking recognition is a fine quality of mine, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan."

Blade Master Hai Bian let out a dry laugh. When Mo Yan wanted to act shamelessly, she always had one line ready: "I’m a Demon Cultivator. Why would a Demon Cultivator bother with being trustworthy? Why would a Demon Cultivator bother with having a conscience?"
