Chapter 156
156 Where Did the Divine Dragon Go?
Old man Wang’s family suddenly became rich.
His sons and daughters-in-law were all wondering if their mother should take these things to the pawnshop to sell.
In the end, Old Madam Wang did not have that intention. Instead, she went to the provision shop to buy a wooden box and placed all the gold and silver trinkets inside.
“Our family isn’t at the end of the rope yet. Let’s keep these things for now and talk about them later.” Old Madam Wang expressed that other than the gold and silver, the other items could be kept as family heirlooms.
Those antiques looked good. As for how much they were worth, The Wang family did not know.
Antiques were like broken bowls. The value was subjective.
On the other hand, the children were especially interested in the raw stones.
Little Ah Yu even asked Meatball, “Are there jade in the raw stones? What kind of jade is it?”
[There might not be jade in the raw stones. Some have jade inside, and some don’t. The quality between the different types of jade are also different.]
[So some people will choose to gamble on stones.]
“What is stone gambling?”
[It’s just a bet with someone to see if there’s jade in the stone. Actually, it’s also a bet with themselves.]
[The unopened raw stone...]
Meatball explained to Little Ah Yu for a long time. Seeing that Little Ah Yu was listening with interest, it hurriedly added.
[Kid, stone gambling is not a good habit. Don’t learn it.]
Little Ah Yu asked, “Elf, do you know if there’s jade in this stone?”
[Of course I know. All the stones in here contain jade.]
Meatball did not know what the difference between jade in this world was. It only knew that those raw stones were filled with jade because the energy of stones and jade was different.
“Elf, since you know if there’s jade in the stones, then why can’t Ah Yu gamble with others?” Little Ah Yu poked her little finger. “Look, others don’t know, but only Ah Yu knows. If Ah Yu buys it, can I earn money for the family?”
Meatball: [...]
Now that the kid has grown up, it’s becoming difficult to deceive her.
It had been careless.
[That may be so, but stone gambling is not good. When you grow up, there will still be many ways you can earn money.]
“Why is it not good? With you around, I won’t lose. I can even earn money for my family. Ah Yu will also be very powerful.”
Little Ah Yu really did not understand.
This was because the elf had said that jade was very valuable and it could also distinguish which stone contained jade. Since that was the case, she would never lose the gamble.
“Elf, will you leave?”
Little Ah Yu suddenly reacted. At the thought that the elf might leave, her eyes turned red.
Her small mouth pouted, and large tears fell.
“Ah Yu doesn’t want you to leave!”
[...] Why did this brat start crying so abruptly?
[Alright, don’t cry. I won’t leave.]
It was an exclusive caregiver. It had to accompany the kid until she died of old age. How could it leave?
It was a cosmic life form that had been officially certified by the Universe Bureau, not one of those Systems that accidentally wandered to other places. Its calling and mission was different, and the outcome was also different.
Almost as soon as Meatball finished speaking, she sniffed and wiped her tears with her hands, instantly recovering.
[?]
Little Ah Yu took a deep breath and whispered, “You promised Ah Yu not to leave in the future. Ah Yu knows that you are doing things for my good. Ah Yu won’t gamble in the future.”
Looking at Wang Wulang who was slowly walking towards her, Little Ah Yu quickly said to Meatball, “Ah Yu will grow up quickly. I will definitely be able to earn a lot of money.”
Little Ah Yu thought to herself that it was the elf who treated her well by helping her earn money.
In the future, she would rely on herself to earn money. Then, the money would really belong to her.
At that time, she would use that money to buy things for the elf. The elf would definitely be happy, right?
Meatball felt the thoughts in her heart and had mixed emotions.
This kid was really like a small sun. She was always so warm.
As expected of its exclusive companion!
Wang Wulang walked closer and saw that Little Ah Yu’s eyes were red. He hurriedly asked, “Little Sister Ah Yu, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?”
Didn’t he just send the raw stones to Grandma and the others? Why did his sister cry the moment he turned his head?
Who was so wicked to take advantage of such a short period of time to bully his sister?!
Wang Wulang rolled up his sleeves. “Tell Fifth Brother, and he’ll help you beat him up!”
“No one bullied Ah Yu.” Little Ah Yu smiled sweetly. She put the Spirit Treasure Rat in Wang Wulang’s arms, and skipped away. “Fifth Brother, help me carry it. Ah Yu wants to go to the toilet.”
The Spirit Treasure Rat and Wang Wulang looked at each other.
They both despised each other.
“Can the fur on your body really not be shaved off and melted into gold?” Wang Wulang muttered.
The rat trembled and wanted to jump off Wang Wulang.
...
This person was so terrifying. He actually wanted to shave its fur!
A bird flew over from outside and landed on Wang Wulang’s shoulder.
The bird wanted to look at the Spirit Treasure Rat in Wang Wulang’s arms and tilted its head.
Wang Wulang said, “Little sparrow, don’t misunderstand. This is Little Sister Ah Yu’s.”
Wang Silang passed by and held his stomach as he laughed. “Are you crazy? You’re talking to a bird after talking to a rat. You’re really making me laugh to death, hahaha!”
Wang Wulang was expressionless. “Can’t you pretend not to hear me?”
Didn’t he care about his face?
The children of the Wang Family wanted to open the raw stones to take a look, but Old Madam Wang did not allow them and put them away.
Then, she said to them, “When you get married, each of you can choose one of these stones. As for whether the stone you choose is good or bad, it’s up to your luck.”
Hence, everyone looked at Wang Dalang expectantly. The fastest to get married was definitely Eldest Brother.
“Alright, the house hasn’t been cleaned up yet. Don’t be lazy anymore. Do what needs to be done. Don’t think that you can slack off and not work!” Old Madam Wang shouted. Everyone scattered like birds and beasts and quickly went to do what they needed to do.
...
At this moment, in Beixing Country which was only separated from Great Chang Nation by a few mountains, a group of people was rushing along in a hurry.
The leader’s expression was cold and solemn, and his killing intent could not be concealed.
“It’s been two months, but there’s still no news of the Divine Dragon?”
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the people below, but they did not dare to reach out to wipe it.
No one dared to speak.
“Hm?”
The voice infused with internal energy passed through everyone and created a huge pressure on them.
Finally, someone could not withstand the pressure and said, “The Divine Dragon’s speed is too fast. We really couldn’t catch up. We only knew that it disappeared after entering the mountain range. After that, the spirit disc didn’t react.”
“Trash!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who spoke suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, dead.
The others’ hearts trembled, and they knelt respectfully.
“Sacred Envoy, please forgive our sins!” everyone said in unison.
The Sacred Envoy’s expression was sinister and unfriendly.
Their clan had carefully raised the Divine Dragon for hundreds of years. The Divine Dragon was about to transform into a True Dragon, and their clan would also benefit and become a powerful force of the entire continent.
In the end, just before the new year, the Divine Dragon, who was originally recuperating, suddenly jumped out of the Divine Dragon Sect crazily. They chased after it with all their might but could not catch up. There was no news of the Divine Dragon since then.
Someone braced himself and said, “Sacred Envoy, there’s been no news for so long. Could the Holy Dragon have already-”
The Sacred Envoy sneered. “Already what? To the entire continent, the Divine Dragon is a colossus. Not to mention ordinary people, even a hundred experts from the Great Chang Nation are definitely not a match for the Divine Dragon!”
The Divine Dragon’s daily appetite was 1,000 catties of raw meat. Who dared to match such a powerful existence?
If not for the fact that there was a problem with the spirit disc and that these pieces of trash were not doing their job well, why would they still be searching for it until now?
“Find it for me! If you can’t find the Divine Dragon, you don’t have to live anymore.”
“Yes!”
