Mistaking My Wife for a Spirit Pet - Chapter 46
Chapter 46
The compass emitted a faint light. It was as if a bloodthirsty demon was hidden in the light, greedily absorbing the yellow-haired dragon’s bl00d.
His screams didn’t stop, and the yellow-haired dragon’s face was pale, frightened like a timid little demon.
At this moment, the green-haired dragon next to him couldn’t stand it. His voice was a little harsh as he asked, “Nan Zhi, aren’t you going too far? If the Grand Elder finds out about this, you’ll definitely be in big trouble.”
Nan Zhi looked to the side. She said calmly, “One million spirit stones, one hundred years of life. Is that too much?”
The two dragons’ eyes met in a stare-down. A vein was throbbing on the green-haired dragon’s forehead, and it seemed that they would start fighting in the next second, but just as the green-haired dragon was about to make a move, the yellow-haired dragon began to yell, “It’s not too much, it’s not too much. Third brother, don’t disturb me from earning spirit stones!”
Green-haired: …
The corners of his mouth twitched. He was helping him out of kindness, but this yellow-haired guy dared to be ungrateful. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He raised his foot and kicked the foolish yellow-haired dragon right in the back.
The yellow-haired dragon stumbled forward, and his anger instantly flared up. He turned his head angrily. “You dared to kick me?” Saying that, he prepared to roll up his sleeves and beat him up.
Nan Zhi intervened in time to stop them. She advised, “Let’s do the right thing first.”
The yellow-haired dragon wilted, squatting on the ground, looking as pitiful as a puppy. “Oh.”
Looking at the red bl00d dripping away, in reality, the loss of vital essence would inevitably be accompanied by the loss of life.
However, the yellow-haired dragon was full of life. After Nan Zhi no longer needed him, he immediately stood up and began to beat up the green-haired dragon who had kicked him. The Dragon Clan’s warlike gene was fully displayed in him.
At that time, the farce outside had nothing to do with Nan Zhi. She was seriously looking at the compass, calculating in her mind.
“Hey, hey, stop fighting!”
The sounds of fighting and persuading to stop fighting were flying everywhere, as noisy as a human market. Nan Zhi frowned, only feeling that this group of unreliable dragons was very noisy.
“Hey! Nan Zhi, hurry up and stop them! Someone’s going to die—”
Nan Zhi’s thoughts returned. She looked back, and a vein instantly popped up on her forehead.
These two dragons had been fighting without a care in the world. They had even affected others. The mutual fighting had somehow turned into a group fight. The two main dragons were so engrossed in the fight that they had caused rocks to fall all over the ground and a mess.
That’s enough.
She put away the compass, flew forward, and kicked the fighting yellow-haired and green-haired dragons one by one.
“Who!” The yellow-haired dragon knelt on the ground clutching his backside. Seeing that it was Nan Zhi, he fell silent.
The green-haired dragon was also clutching his backside, with an unyielding expression. “Why did you kick me? Don’t think I can’t beat you!”
Looking at these two dragons, Nan Zhi squinted her long, narrow eyes. She slowly pulled the corners of her mouth, “Do you want to earn spirit stones?”
Yellow-haired: …
Green-haired: …
Other dragons: “Why is it always the two of them? We want to too!”
That’s easy to handle.
“The highest cultivation among us is only at the Soul Transformation stage. If we want to bring back the culprit’s head, we might not be qualified enough.”
All the dragons nodded.
“Since we’re short on people, we can only pull people in.”
“I won’t treat you unfairly. If you call one person, it’s ten thousand spirit stones. Two people, twenty thousand spirit stones. Ten people, two hundred thousand spirit stones.”
“I’ll pay on the spot. No delays.”
A dragon asked, “Ten people is one hundred thousand, aren’t you bad at math?”
As soon as he said that, his mouth was immediately covered.
Now, the stupider ones were still calculating, while the smarter ones had already gone to bother their family members.
However, as they were pulling people, they started fighting again. After all, there were only a few hundred dragons in the clan. The matter went from actively pulling dragons to make up the numbers to “this is my grand-aunt. Why should she be counted as yours?”
So, the dragons began to argue, but a few of the smarter dragons had already run off, for example, the smart yellow-haired dragon ran off in respect.
He took a stride and ran home, rushing into the Grand Elder’s room. At that time, the Grand Elder was meditating with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his leg felt heavy. He slowly opened his eyes.
His stupid grandson was hugging his leg, saying with deep emotion, “Grandpa, you have to come with me!”
Grand Elder: …?
“My third grand-aunt, second grand-uncle, and fifth grand-uncle, I’ve called everyone I can. You’re the only one left, grandpa—”
“…”
The Grand Elder had endured this idiot for a long time.
With a swift kick to the stomach, the idiot immediately rolled out of his crystal palace and flew into the coral reef.
However, his good son swam over. He hugged the idiot, his face full of grief. “Dad, he’s just a kid!”
“…”
The Grand Elder closed his eyes, his fists trembling with restraint.
He shouldn’t have come out. He should have continued to sleep.
…
After unremitting efforts, the crowd had nine Great Ascension stage cultivators to back them up. The reason was the yellow-haired dragon. While other dragons chose to bring their friends in, the yellow-haired dragon brought his old aunt and old uncle. Of course, his grandpa didn’t come, but his dad and mom came, and also…
Nan Zhi looked at her father with a confused expression.
The yellow-haired dragon’s eyes flickered, and he said guiltily, “He’s my fifth uncle, so he should be counted, right?”
“…”
He was too clever.
The fifth uncle, Nanshan, who was also Nan Zhi’s father, scratched his head, a little confused. “What happened?”
…
Tianshan.
In the courtyard, there was a dark purple cauldron among a pile of things.
Yu Shu’s expression was serious. She was controlling the spiritual fire in her hand, not slacking off at all.
At this moment,
Yu Shu clenched her palm, and looked to the side.
Song Cai sighed. She forced a not-so-good smile. “We’ve notified all the border cities. It should…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a crackling sound came from the cauldron.
Song Cai was instantly alert. “Oh no, it’s going to explode…”
The next second, spiritual energy surged from the cauldron, confirming Song Cai’s words.
The three of them quickly retreated. A few dark figures instantly appeared in the courtyard. A blue light appeared, and the cauldron that was about to explode was suppressed.
The smell of something burnt filled the air. The cauldron didn’t explode, but the magical artifact inside was ruined.
The dark figures retracted their spiritual energy and said in unison, “Young City Lord, were you frightened?”
Yu Shu pursed her lips and didn’t answer. Her gaze followed the black smoke.
Song Cai waved her hand. “You can leave.”
The dark figures retreated, and the black smoke gradually dissipated. Yu Shu turned her head, looked at her friends, and said in a low voice, “Never mind.”
Song Cai was stunned. She opened her mouth and explained, “The Water-Evading Pearl is priced very high, and the word has already gotten out. We should be able to get it soon.”
The Water-Evading Pearl was hard to find, and Yu Shu knew this. She sighed and bent down to start working on the materials again.
“The original intention was to spend some time on Tianshan, but because you two are worried about the Water-Evading Pearl for me, you haven’t had any free time.”
Song Cai subconsciously retorted, “That’s not true!”
Li Yu also squatted down, helping with the materials. “Why are you being so particular with us?”
Yu Shu’s movements paused. She softly explained, “The Water-Evading Pearl is hard to find to begin with. If we can’t find it, then so be it. There’s no need to be in such a hurry.”
Li Yu: …
Song Cai: …
How could they not know that she was saying the opposite of what she meant?
Song Cai took the opportunity to squat down and change the subject. “How do we handle these?”
Li Yu: “First, we remove the meridians, and then…”
Song Cai lamented, “So it’s that simple!”
It was a little noisy. Yu Shu pursed her lips and continued to carefully work on the materials, until—
Two friends who looked like spiritual herbs that had been ruined by a strong wind were looking for praise.
“Go away!”
…
Nan Zhi lowered her eyes. Her gaze moved with the pointer, and her expression became more and more serious.
“How is it?”
Nan Zhi shook her head. She said truthfully, “Northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest… All directions.” She suddenly looked up at Nanshan. “Is there really that many people in the Nine Provinces who can sneak into the deep sea and steal our ancestors’ bones without anyone noticing?”
Nanshan didn’t even think. “Impossible!”
But the fact was, the calculations showed that the ancestors’ bones were scattered all over the sea.
Nanshan gave the order. “Form groups of five. Southeast, northeast, southwest… Report the situation every hundred miles.”
All the dragons replied, “Yes!”
The four seas are connected and boundless. They had to report every hundred miles. By now, Nan Zhi’s group had already reported more than two hundred times. The clansmen next to her were already exhausted and couldn’t swim anymore. Seeing this, Nan Zhi called a halt.
The next second, a few dragons collapsed on the ground.
They had swum very far, and in a thousand miles, they would be out of the Eastern Sea and in the Western Sea, but this place already showed the scenery of the Western Sea. Most of the fish swimming in front of them were from the Western Sea, and the dancing water plants were also stained with the ink of the Western Sea.
Nan Zhi found a group of reefs and leaned against them to rest quietly.
There was one fish after another in front of her. She rubbed her forehead and wearily closed her eyes.
The next second—
A burning sensation came from her wrist.
Nan Zhi opened her eyes. She raised her hand, staring at the silver bracelet on her wrist.
It was Yu Shu.
She thought for a moment and moved the bracelet according to the method the old man from Changling had taught her. As soon as she moved it, a sound came out, but because of the flowing water, it wasn’t very clear.
“Nan Zhi?”
With such a soft voice, Nan Zhi subconsciously curved her lips. She said, “Mm, I’m here.”
As soon as she said that, there was a long silence from the other side, and then a rustling sound.
Nan Zhi continued to ask, “What’s wrong?”
“I miss you so much.”
The soft voice was accompanied by a strong longing that surged into her ears with the flowing water. Nan Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. She slowly clenched her palm.
“I’ve been looking for the Water-Evading Pearl for a long time, but I can’t find it. Every time I try to refine a water-evading magical artifact, I fail.”
“I miss you so much.”
The unique tone and the muffled voice.
It seemed that those troubles and fatigue were not so bothersome anymore. Nan Zhi subconsciously stood up but stopped.
But what was she getting up for?
For a moment, she absurdly wanted to fly to Tianshan.
“You’re ignoring me.”
She was clearly accusing her, but it sounded like a lover’s whispered words of longing.
It wasn’t absurd at all.
At this moment, Nan Zhi only felt that she was abnormally calm. She lowered her eyes to the silver bracelet and asked in a low voice, “Young City Lord, are you on Tianshan?”
The other side was silent for a long time, and then a muffled “mm” came.
Nan Zhi lowered her eyes. She stroked the silver bracelet and turned it. After not hearing Yu Shu’s voice, she walked toward the group of collapsed dragons.
She tapped the yellow-haired dragon’s shoulder with her foot. The yellow-haired dragon laboriously raised his eyelids. “…Nan, Zhi?”
Nan Zhi nodded. She asked, “Have you rested enough?”
The yellow-haired dragon’s sleepiness instantly disappeared. He quickly said, “Not enough!”
The other few dragons also nodded in agreement.
That’s good. Nan Zhi smiled knowingly. “If you haven’t had enough rest, then sleep a little longer. See you tomorrow.”
The dragons looked at each other, wondering what Nan Zhi meant by “see you tomorrow,” but Nan Zhi rightfully found an excuse to walk to a group of reefs, which just happened to block her figure.
The idea of going to Tianshan was not absurd.
She took out the Cicada Shell talisman that the old man from Changling had drawn.
The next second.
The world spun, seawater poured in, and the surrounding spiritual energy twisted wildly.
Green grass all over the mountain, and frightened birds flying, it was an unfamiliar place. She took a deep breath, bit her lip, and calmed down for a long time before she started to perform a space jump again—
And she arrived at Tianshan.
Clouds and mist gathered around the mountain, and a peaceful aura slowly rose. Under the glow of the clouds, the eaves covered in mist looked like a jade palace on the heavenly palace.
Nan Zhi stumbled forward. She bent down, clutching her knees and gasping for air.
She finally arrived.
