Chapter 168
Eat Me
The majority of people who Mu Yu could speak to weren’t humans. Dragons didn’t speak humanity’s language; they had their own language. Thus, Mu Yu was surprised he understood it. More importantly, how was he supposed to rescue such a large creature in the presence of so many Primordial Infant Realm cultivators? He already had a batch stalking him. Fleeing with a dragon in tow? Yeah right.
The Primordial Infant Realm cultivators followed the dragon’s line of sight and spotted Mu Yu. They blustered, “Get lost, Kiddo!”
The cultivators unleashed another assault on the dragon. Seeing its tail almost lopped off, one of them cautioned, “Careful not to kill it!”
“Help!” the dragon cried.
“Do we have to save it?” Xiaoshuai asked.
A bearded man swung an axe at the dragon vine as it ran to Mu Yu, slamming Mu Yu aside.ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
The bearded man brayed, “Get lost if you don’t want to die!”
“Sorry, I was just passing by, haha.”
Mu Yu sensed a powerful aura closing in. The individual approaching was a Body Severing Realm adept from Floating Celestial Island.
“Help me!”
The dragon called out to Mu Yu precisely because it could sense his ability to hide in his trees, but rescuing the dragon was a daunting task to say the least. His preference to steer clear of trouble had been emphasised enough, but so had his love for plants.
Mu Yu: I can fuse with the dragon vine! They’ll capture it and take it into Floating Celestial Island! Plus, I’ll be able to save the dragon vine. That’s two birds with one stone.
Mu Yu whispered to the dragon, “Eat me.”
“Say what?” Xiaoshuai remarked.
“Eat me.”
“Beiya, you can’t blame me. Do you know what the most mysterious spiritual beast in the world is? Dragons. Dragons are the final form of spiritual beasts’ evolution cycle. You can count on two hands the number of spiritual beasts capable of evolving into a dragon at present. Do you realise how hard it was for the dragon vine to evolve into a dragon?” Huai Baiwan explained with his lips stretched to his ears.
Xiaoshuai scratched his claws. “I’ll have this fatty know my final form isn’t a dragon. Dragons are as worthless as chicken eggs.”
“What’s your final form, then?” Mu Yu inquired.
“Me? I go from handsome to even more handsome. You wouldn’t believe just how hands-”
“Small rodent,” the dragon vine suddenly stated.
“Who are you calling a small rodent?!” Xiaoshuai fumed as he scratched the dragon vine.
“You’re finally awake,” Mu Yu commented.
“Help me.”
“Is that all you can say?” Xiaoshuai chided.
“Rat,” mocked the dragon vine.
“You wanna go, do you?” Xiaoshuai bit the dragon vine, causing the latter to shudder.
“You and you, put a sock in it. Save your energy so that we can escape,” Mu Yu scolded as he pulled Xiaoshuai’s mouth.
Upon hearing the dragon vine howl, those outside heaped praise, oblivious to the conversation taking place within.
Huai Bawan ordered, “Lock it up for now. Notify the world we will auction it in five days’ time.”
“Are you sure you want to sell it, Father?”
“Beiya, the chances of anyone taming a dragon that has developed intelligence is next to none. If you think Earth Sovereign Sect could, you’re in denial. Their pride is their life; they refuse to bow to humans. In addition, I heard they never let go of a grudge once they’ve harboured one. What’s the point in us raising it? Just consider yourself fortunate to have seen one. We’re in the business sector; we’re supposed to trade things for money. I’m sure we’ll create waves if the world finds out we’re auctioning a dragon. We’re after the fame and reputation it’ll bring us. Reputation takes precedence over a dragon for businesses. We’re better off investing our time in effort in drafting a plan to make the most out of this,” Huai Baiwan expounded, tapping his fingers out of habit whenever he engaged his brain.
