Mistaking My Wife for a Spirit Pet - Chapter 45
Chapter 45
Nan Zhi slowly came back to her senses. She rubbed her forehead and explained, “Something might have happened to the clan.”
The summons from her bloodline made her feel very uneasy.
If it wasn’t a big deal, she wouldn’t have been summoned in this way. Thinking of this, Nan Zhi’s brows furrowed even deeper.
“Are you going back to the Eastern Sea?”
Nan Zhi thought for a while and shook her head. “First, we’ll go back to Yulin City.”
Yu Shu lowered her eyes. She pulled Nan Zhi up, lowered her head slightly, and her voice was also a little low. “Mm.”
How could Nan Zhi not know that Yu Shu was unhappy with her decision.
But how could the land-walking Tiger Clan enter the water? And she had just given the Water-Evading Pearl to Feng Zhiwei not long ago. Now she didn’t know what to say.
Yu Shu’s expression was indifferent. “Just like that.” She looked up and said calmly, “Anyway, when you want me, you’ll pick me up, and when you don’t need me, you’ll send me away.”
Nan Zhi was inexplicably stunned. What she said was both true and false, but—
She grabbed Yu Shu’s hand and said in a soft voice, “Don’t say such things…”
Yu Shu raised her eyebrows. After giving Nan Zhi a hard time, she was in a much better mood. She lightly snorted and asked in return, “Then what should I say?”
Nan Zhi: …
She was played again.
Yu Shu raised her chin. “I’m not going back to Yulin City anyway.”
Nan Zhi: “Why?”
“Song Cai and Li Yu are on Tianshan, and this place is only five hundred miles from Tianshan.”
Feeling a little uneasy, Nan Zhi was about to refuse when Yu Shu grabbed her sleeve and pleaded in a soft voice, “Doesn’t the clan have something going on? Hurry up and turn back into your original form. Don’t waste time.”
Nan Zhi’s ears couldn’t take it. She held Yu Shu’s hand tightly and looked out the window at the sky.
“Ah…”
The exclamation was accompanied by a clear dragon roar. A beautiful green dragon swam in the sky, breaking through layers of clouds.
Yu Shu was still in shock. She lightly patted the dragon’s body and accused it, “Don’t scare me like that.”
Nan Zhi, who had succeeded, replied, “I won’t dare to next time.”
The Yaoxian Valley was very close to Tianshan, and the distance of five hundred miles was also very short. For the Dragon Clan, it was only an hour.
On Tianshan, clouds and mist swirled. Golden light shone down from the clouds, sprinkling on the top of the mountain. Looking from a distance, it could be called a golden mountain illuminated by the sun.
On the way to part ways, Yu Shu didn’t say much, but when she saw Tianshan in the distance, she gently touched the cold dragon scales under her body. With the sound of the wind, she suddenly asked, “The top of Tianshan is sparkling. Is your cave dwelling too?”
Nan Zhi was a little proud. She smiled and answered, “The inside and outside of the cave dwelling are decorated with many colorful gemstones. Even at night, it’s as bright as day, and it’s especially beautiful.”
“Does what you said about inviting me to your cave dwelling still count?”
Nan Zhi answered without thinking. “Of course.”
Yu Shu said, “Mm,” and lowered her eyes to the dragon beneath her. She touched it and said softly, “I’ll find the Water-Evading Pearl soon.”
Her voice was so soft that Nan Zhi didn’t even hear it clearly.
As they got closer and closer to Tianshan, she turned into a green mist. She held Yu Shu’s hand and landed steadily.
At the foot of the mountain.
Song Cai and Li Yu had been waiting here for a long time. They both crossed their arms and watched Nan Zhi and Yu Shu walk closer.
Nan Zhi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. She was the first to speak. “Manager Song, Manager Li.”
The cat and the fish both snorted coldly.
They couldn’t stand it, they really couldn’t. If Nie Wuyou hadn’t sent a message, they wouldn’t have known how Nan Zhi had bullied their friend after kidnapping her.
Their friend had never been wronged in her life.
Just as they were about to say something sarcastic, they heard their friend’s words of defense, “What’s wrong with you two?”
Cat and Fish: …
They were so choked up that they lost their composure and strength.
Their friend didn’t seem to care about them. She pulled Nan Zhi to the side and said something quietly. Then she leaned over and brought her face closer, her eyes full of anticipation.
Song Cai and Li Yu’s faces both darkened.
They were so angry. How could they not tell what she was about to do?
If their friend’s wish came true, it would make them prickly, but if it didn’t, it would make them even more angry.
Damn it.
She still dared to hesitate? She better not kiss her for the rest of her life.
The next second—
The two demons were speechless.
Following their gazes, they saw two figures leaning on each other, and a white figure leaning in. The sunlight fell on the blushing face, and her eyes were sparkling, and her expression was also smiling.
They didn’t know what to say anymore.
They had never seen their friend so happy in her life. She had never even shown such an expression when she finally created her concentric magical artifact after years of hard work.
So foolish. How could she be so happy?
The emotions in their hearts were difficult to digest. The foolish friend said goodbye to the dragon and walked over slowly. She waved her five fingers in front of them, her face full of confusion. “Are you two stupid?”
Song Cai’s lips opened and closed. She wanted to say something but stopped. “When I heard what Nie Wuyou said, I thought you had finally woken up and were going to escape from this bitter sea.”
“…What bitter sea?” Yu Shu was too lazy to argue about those rumors. She said again, “But, I want to go to the Eastern Sea.”
Song Cai: “The Eastern Sea?”
She subconsciously turned her head and met Li Yu’s gaze, and Li Yu’s eyes were also full of confusion.
Yu Shu, ‘…*’
Song Cai “hissed” and subconsciously replied, “We can’t find it, but I remember you got one before. Why do you need another one now?”
Yu Shu was silent for a moment. She said truthfully, “I gave it to Feng Zhiwei.”
“Feng Zhi…” Song Cai couldn’t help but raise her voice. She said in disbelief, “When did Yulin City become so friendly with the Phoenix Clan?”
Yu Shu admitted that she was in the wrong. She avoided Song Cai’s gaze and said weakly, “Yulin City’s relationship with the Phoenix Clan isn’t bad to begin with.”
No, that’s not right.
Song Cai stepped forward. She walked around Yu Shu with a suspicious look. “Did you give it to her?”
“…No.”
Song Cai was even more confused. “But you clearly need the Water-Evading Pearl too.”
Yu Shu: …
…
After saying goodbye to Yu Shu, Nan Zhi traveled eastward at high speed.
In her knowledge, although the Dragon Clan was extremely unreliable, if they summoned her in this way, it must be because the foundation of the clan had been shaken.
Thinking of this, she sped up her flight again. Along the way, she encountered several dragons who were in a hurry to get to the Eastern Sea.
After going through several teleportation arrays, spending a day and a night, they finally arrived at the Eastern Sea in time. At this moment, a long and melodious conch sound rang out. The sound came from the bottom of the sea, and it was carried by the waves to their ears.
A dragon said, “Oh no, we’re late.”
“Plop—”
Nan Zhi entered the sea first, and the other dragons followed.
The pressure from the sea surged toward them. They quickly reached the clan territory. All the younger generation were there, and even the Grand Elder who had retired was present. The Grand Elder sat in the main seat. Seeing that the clansmen had almost all arrived, he coughed heavily and released a shocking piece of news.
“I’m sure you all know by now that the Dragon Clan’s ancestral tomb has exploded.”
Nan Zhi: …?
She looked around blankly. It seemed that the surrounding dragons were as blank as her.
“What—”
“The ancestral tomb exploded?!”
Hundreds of dragons were chattering noisily. The Grand Elder was the first to be displeased. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Nan Zhi’s father, “Nanshan, what’s going on?”
Nanshan’s expression froze. He said with a fake smile, “He didn’t say.”
With just that low whisper, the Grand Elder crushed the jade stone in his hand.
Seeing this, the clan territory instantly fell silent.
The Grand Elder continued, “The clan territory was blown up, and the bones of our ancestors were stolen.”
“!”
All the dragons’ eyes were filled with shock.
Suddenly, a dragon screamed and said, “Oh no, my life’s savings were in there—”
Nan Zhi subconsciously looked at this crazy dragon. It was the Grand Elder’s only grandson, who had been born after a difficult pregnancy.
“Bang—”
The ill-tempered Grand Elder slapped his only grandson away. He lowered his eyebrows and began to scan the group of dragons below with his eagle eyes.
“Cough—”
“You, you, you, you, step forward.”
It was like the King of Hell calling for roll call. Most of them were the group that came with Nan Zhi. As expected, dragons who were too idle were easy to notice.
“The bone demon has not yet left the sea. You have ten days to find it, and bring me the culprit’s head.”
Nan Zhi: …
She looked around. The dragons on the list included Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation cultivators. They could barely hold their own in the Nine Provinces, but—
They were going to face the culprit who blew up their ancestral tomb!
“Grand Elder, this is not appropriate.”
The Grand Elder raised his eyebrows and whiskers. Seeing that it was Nan Zhi, he nodded and said with relief, “With you, there’s nothing inappropriate.”
Nan Zhi: …
The Grand Elder waved his hand. “There’s no need to say more. Meeting adjourned.”
The crowd dispersed. A few dragons who were called by the King of Hell gathered around. A yellow-haired dragon poked his head out and said with a troubled expression, “I’m good at fighting, but finding bones…”
Nan Zhi’s face was blank.
“Bang—”
A green mist appeared, and she turned into a human form and landed slowly.
All the dragons’ gazes gathered. The yellow-haired dragon was the first to speak. “Nan Zhi?”
Nan Zhi lowered her eyes and seriously looked at the compass in her hand. After a while, the pointer slowly turned. She suddenly turned her head and said, “Nanhong.”
Yellow-haired: “…Huh? Huh!”
Nan Zhi’s expression didn’t change. She asked, “Are you short on spirit stones, Nanhong?”
The yellow-haired dragon’s eyes lit up, and he looked like a miser. He quickly answered, “Of course.”
Seeing the yellow-haired dragon’s simple expression, Nan Zhi subconsciously pursed her lips and explained, “One million spirit stones for one hundred years of life.”
“Life…” The yellow-haired dragon’s face was dazed. After his daze, he fiercely refused. “One hundred years of life, not even a dog would—”
“I’ll do it! One million spirit stones, I’ll do it!”
He almost laughed.
You might not even be able to earn one million spirit stones in one hundred years of mining. He’d be crazy not to do it.
His huge vertical pupils shone frighteningly. He brought his head closer, so close that his exhaled breath lifted Nan Zhi’s skirt. He was afraid that others would steal his credit, so he quickly asked, “What is it? I’ll do anything.”
Nan Zhi showed a smile. She hooked her storage bag and threw it at the yellow-haired dragon.
The yellow-haired dragon immediately bit it with his teeth. After checking the storage bag, his voice was a little shaky. “It’s really, it’s really one million spirit stones.”
It really was one million spirit stones.
When they parted ways, the Young City Lord had given her a lot more, and even lectured her not to secretly stuff her storage bag to her anymore. Now it came in handy. After all, with Nan Zhi’s self-awareness, her current situation was not suitable for casting such a spell again.
So, Nan Zhi waved at the yellow-haired dragon and smiled very kindly, “Come here.”
The yellow-haired dragon came closer diligently. A wave blew over, and the yellow-haired dragon disappeared. Only a rebellious youth with yellow hair was left, and he ran to Nan Zhi’s front eagerly.
The pointer on the compass was turning.
“Tick, tick.”
Nan Zhi seriously looked at the pattern and suddenly said, “Dragon breath.”
The yellow-haired dragon was stunned for a moment and immediately injected his aura.
At the same time, the spell formation spun layer by layer, emitting a powerful suction force. The hand hanging over the compass began to bleed.
“Drip, drip.”
The bl00d flowed like a stream, soaking the compass, and it looked unusually bizarre with the faint light.
“Ah ah—”
A scream burst out. At this moment, the yellow-haired dragon finally felt fear.
