“Could it be… not enough?”
Thinking this, his deep purple eyes narrowed slightly. Indeed! He had been sealed for nearly a thousand years and hadn’t sought these out further, so it was likely not sufficient…
Jin Bao’er chuckled helplessly at his words, finding it almost comical.
“What are you thinking?! That’s not what I meant!”
However, the stubborn dragon’s brows furrowed, and he said with utmost seriousness.
“I understand. Wait a moment!”
With that, he turned and vanished from his spot instantly, his speed so great it was as if a moment later would have resulted in her refusal! Jin Bao’er couldn’t even stop him!
As the strong wind subsided, Jin Bao’er looked up at the sky, her expression quite helpless! Ever since she had spoken that sentence, Long Li Xing seemed to have transformed into a different person, completely shedding his mysterious and aloof demeanor!
Was this his true nature? It seemed… rather endearing!
Half an hour later…
With a flash of darkness, a vast spiritual energy rapidly approached. The sensation of no discernible aura yet an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy caused Jin Bao’er to momentarily freeze, instinctively moving aside…
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
“Crackling sounds!”
A strong gust of wind was followed by the clashing sounds of various magical artifacts, ceramics, gold coins, and spirit stones…
Jin Bao’er nodded slightly, stunned by the sight before her…
The already packed cave was now covered with several more layers of gold coins and spirit stones, completely filling the empty space above! Looking around, there was barely even a path to enter!
Seeing this, the man beside her finally seemed to nod in satisfaction. Jin Bao’er couldn’t help but twitch her lips, finally understanding what he had been doing just now.
“How is it?”
As he spoke, the pride and anticipation in his eyes were palpable!
Jin Bao’er couldn’t help but silently mourn for those whose treasures had been lost! Pointing to the mountain of glittering treasures, she said.
“These… were they… acquired from other dragons?”
Long Li Xing nodded, acting as if what belonged to them was his, without the slightest hint of embarrassment! This made Jin Bao’er uncertain whether they were plundered or simply requested.
…
Hundreds of enormous dragons, gathered at Dragon Abyss, circled the sky, filled with excitement! They seemed to be waiting for something, their demeanor serious yet their atmosphere incredibly fervent!
However, after waiting for a long time without seeing anyone appear, the sky soon returned to normal…
“Hey! What’s going on?”
“Old Blue Dragon, did you see wrongly?”
“What’s the situation? Where is our Ancestor?”
“……”
Facing the questioning, a massive blue dragon at the front slightly furrowed its brow, then flicked its tail and transformed into human form…
An elder dressed in blue slowly materialized, his brows tightly knitted, his gaze extremely grave!
“I would not have sensed it incorrectly. That powerful aura just now must have been our Ancestor!”
Upon hearing this, the dragons’ attitudes gradually became serious, their restlessness subsiding!
However, after some more time passed with no movement in the sky, the naturally impatient dragons began to stir again, and even the elder started to doubt himself when…
A slightly smaller white dragon slowly poked its head out, a flicker of hesitation in its eyes.
“Grandpa Blue Dragon, actually… I think I saw…” Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, the fear and respect originating from the depths of his soul prevented him from looking any further!
As soon as he finished speaking!
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Countless dragon eyes snapped towards him, their sharp gazes fixed upon him! This sudden attention tightened the white dragon’s heart!
The old blue dragon frowned and looked at him!
“Are you sure? When was this?”
After the white dragon stiffly recounted everything, silence fell upon the surroundings.
“Long Fei Luo, have you been sleeping too much?”
“You must still be asleep, dreaming!”
“Exactly, our Ancestor holding a human woman… Hahaha! What a dream you’re having!”
“Besides, you’ve never seen our Ancestor, so how do you know it was him? Please use your brain next time you dream!”
“You came up with this? If our Ancestor were to hold a human woman, I’d publicly perform an act of eating excrement!”
“Haha, if this is true! I’ll give you all my treasures! Hehe! If it’s false, you have to give me all your treasures!”
Several disbelieving gazes fell upon the white dragon named Long Fei Luo, making his face flush with anxiety! He didn’t know how to refute, as even he was beginning to doubt if he had seen incorrectly!
Could it be… he was truly dreaming? But how could he have such a dream in broad daylight?
Amidst the dragons’ jeers and laughter, the old blue dragon spoke, his expression grave and sharp.
“A’Luo, are you certain?”
Long Fei Luo paused, his eyes also lacking confidence! Just as he was about to hesitate and speak…
“Since you are so certain, then I will bet that you are dreaming! Remember to deliver the gold coins to my cave later!”
The elder’s words stunned Long Fei Luo! He widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at the elder before him with an expression that seemed to say, “Grandpa, how could you do this?”
The other dragons also joined in the teasing! Long Fei Luo’s face turned green with frustration! He then roared!
“I’m telling you! I definitely saw him! If you don’t believe me, I’ll go find him and show you!”
With that, the white dragon shot into the sky, his figure quickly disappearing into the distance!
With the joking dragon gone, the rest of the dragons soon lost interest and dispersed, returning to their own homes.
However, not long after…
“Ah!! Which bastard dared to steal my gold coins? Get out here!”
“Who is it? Who stole my magical artifact?!”
“Ah!! My immortal artifact! Who did this?!”
The roars of dragons, mingled with indescribable fury, shot into the sky! Echoing throughout the entire dragon continent!
Especially in the old blue dragon’s cave, the immortal artifact radiating potent spiritual energy had also vanished without a trace…
…
On the other side, at Long Li Xing’s insistent request, Jin Bao’er had to store the astonishing amount of treasure within her immortal mansion, setting aside a specific area for its storage.
However, when she noticed an item resembling a giant clam shell, her expression slightly changed!
“Is this… an immortal artifact?”
It wasn't that she was ignorant; she had truly never seen such an immortal artifact before. Unlike the Soul Severing Blade, this item didn't seem to be an offensive immortal artifact, lacking any sense of danger!
Long Li Xing turned his head at her words, his purple eyes narrowing. He felt as if he had seen it somewhere before. He had subconsciously visited a few places he thought might contain treasures, and this item was one he had taken on instinct.
He didn’t truly know its specific purpose.
“It’s an immortal artifact anyway, it must be something good!”
Hearing him say this, Jin Bao’er’s expression became quite helpless! She felt even more sympathy for the dragon whose treasure had been pilfered!
Looking again at the giant clam shell, it emanated a soft pink spiritual energy, with fine starlight sparkling to create a beautiful glow.
