Chapter 241: Ancestor Dragon’s Quote

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As requested by Li Nianfan, today’s breakfast was richer than usual.

The usual white congee had turned into eight-treasure congee. The usual boiled eggs had turned into fried eggs, and the usual steamed buns had turned into green vegetable buns.

This was indeed a luxurious, nutritious, and appetizing meal, especially to Dragin. She was eating happily. Her small body was able to take in as much as eight buns, four eggs, and three bowls of congee. Li Nianfan was shocked!

He suddenly realized that he may have brought home a big eater!

Dragin’s tiny tummy had become rounded. She felt her tummy and let out a long sigh of relief.

“Pheww…so comforting. I’m seventy percent full now. I haven’t been this satisfied in a long time. I’m so loved!”

It was apparent that he had brought home a big eater!

Li Nianfan started to wonder if bringing her home was the right decision.

By the side, the Firefinch Demons were jumping uneasily, their feathers falling off from anxiety.

Oh no! If a big eater came, how were they supposed to survive?

The Fire Phoenix merely glanced at the lazy Dragin. “Go work at the back!”

“Oh.” Dragin’s little ears dropped down. She hopped off her chair and wobbled away to the back.

She would turn back to look at Li Nianfan from time to time, wearing a pitiful look.

Li Nianfan did not speak. He was actually slightly delighted. She had eaten so much. She should be doing some work indeed.

Suddenly, Dragin paused. She looked at him and asked with anticipation, “Brother, can I eat the fruits from the back?”

“Yes,” Li Nianfan nodded. Then, he added, “However, don’t take more than five.”

“Yay! Thank you, brother!” Dragin’s eyes were squinted. Instantly, she rushed to the back.

It was apparent that this was not her first time entering the back of the mountain. Out of habit, she went under an orange tree and climbed up with agility. Her lips were dripping with glowing saliva while her eyes were fixated on the big, yellow oranges in front.

“Brother did say that I’m allowed to have five of those. I don’t have to hide this time!” she mumbled to herself as she raised her small hand to grab one. She clutched an orange in her hand.

“Thank you!” Dragin was delighted. She sat on the tree branch and started eating.

Soon, she had finished eating a whole orange. With much anticipation, she reached out her hand again, ready to grab another one.

Meanwhile, a branch swatted her little buttock, pushing her off the tree.

Smack!

A mocking voice rang in the air, “Wanna eat? Get to work!”

“Hmph! You always bully me!” Dragin rubbed her buttock and her eyes flickered. “You better watch out!”

She turned around and her tiny figure ran away. Soon, she returned with the Fallen Demon Sword. She smiled and said, “I should start cutting up some wood.”

Bam!

The tree branches were shaking up and down before falling off the tree. “Come on!”

Dragin held the Fallen Demon Sword tightly and chopped the branches as if letting out her frustration from within.

“You didn’t let me have the orange!”

Bam!

A faint white mark appeared on the tree’s trunk. Dragin jumped up and flew a few meters away. Both of her hands were numb. She tossed aside the Fallen Demon Sword.

“So hard!”

She shook her hands. Her entire body was stunned. “It’s so thick as well! How am I supposed to chop this?”

1

She was hoping to let out her frustrations while she was chopping up some wood, to treat this activity as a form of entertainment. However, she now realized this was a punishment!

The Dragons were born with immense strength. Though she was in her youth, she was not weak. However, she had used up all of her strength earlier. She initially thought she could enjoy cutting branches into half, but all she managed to do was leave a white mark on it.

Even if she only wanted to chop one trunk, even if she worked without stopping for hours, she might not succeed either.

“Argh! Why are they being so cruel to me?” She was in despair. She wanted to cry.

Perhaps she should water the plants first.

She put the Fallen Demon Sword by her side and cast a spell at the pond in the middle of the backyard.

“Diversion!”

Glowing light poured out of her fingers. The water in the pond started to vibrate and eventually, a few water droplets floated up.

Yeah. Just a few droplets.

One, two, three, four, five. Five droplets, so little. So strangely little.

Dragin’s mouth was partly opened. She was unable to believe what she saw.

This was unbelievable! How shocking!

Besides the limited number of water droplets, she felt a pressure she had never felt before on her palms. It was as if she was holding on to something as heavy as a thousand pounds—way beyond her strength.

Whoever saw this scene would be so shocked!

Nobody would believe this. The Princess of the Dragons, the most precious daughter of the Dragon King, was only able to conjure five droplets of water.

Drop! Drop! Drop!

The five droplets fell right back into the pond. Dragin felt a huge relief. She laid on the ground, panting breathlessly.

“I can’t do it anymore. It’s too difficult!”

There were tears in her eyes. Her little face had a helpless expression that was beyond her years. “The outside world’s too dark. Home… I want to go home…”

Originally, she thought she had made a bargain. There was so much good food here and so many powerful benefits, all she had to do was some house chores. It sounded simple.

Now, she realized how difficult it was!

The entire yard was filled with the Power of Law. If one wanted to cast a spell in here, one had to use up way more power than usual. Even if a spell was successfully cast in here, its effect would be greatly reduced.

That was because everything in this yard, from up to down, was extraordinary. Even the pond weighed like a thousand pounds. It was not something manageable by ordinary people.

The five droplets had already used up all of Dragin’s strength.

If she had to water the entire land in here, the thought alone was already deadly and scary.

I can’t even water plants and cut wood anymore…

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Finally, she could not take it anymore. She cried out loud.

“Waa!”

Inside the pond, a golden phantom was swimming in there as if it was hesitating. After spinning around, it finally sighed and gradually floated to the surface of the water.

“Yo, my descendent, do you want more strength?”

Dragin’s wailing stopped abruptly. She looked at the pond blankly. Instantly, her eyes grew as wide as they could. She was in disbelief!

In the water, a long, golden dragon was swirling around. Its golden scales were shining under the sunlight, shaped like a painting. Its body was moving while exuding a powerful air of authority. It was a sight not to be missed.

“Dragon…dragon?” Dragin was unable to believe her eyes. She did not expect to meet her own kind here. It was like a dream!

“It’s me,” the Golden Dragon’s voice was heard. Its eyes darkened as it looked at Dragin. “You don’t have to wail. In comparison to everything in this yard, you’re weaker and smaller. Follow me if you want to become stronger.”

The Golden Dragon descended back into the pond.

Dragin used her hand to rub her eyes, still feeling unreal. Swiftly after, she turned into a small white dragon and went into the water.

“Is that…my ancestor?”

She was stunned and shocked.

It seemed to be her ancestor.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon?

Although this was shocking, it had to be the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!

The ancestor of the Dragons. Why was it here?

Perhaps her ancestor was cutting wood and watering the plants, too? Was Dragin here to take on some shifts?

Dragin was thinking wildly.

The Golden Dragon did not stop until they had reached the bottom of the pond.

The setup here was very simple. There were only a few big stones. By the side, a huge tortoise laid there without moving.

Dragin looked at the claws of the Golden Dragon. She was assured that this was indeed the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon!

A child-like voice came out of her mouth, “Ancestor…”

“Don’t simply call me that!” The Golden Dragon said right away, warning her with a serious tone. “Your ancestor’s dead from the last natural tribulation. So, you have to promise me not to tell anyone about meeting me!”

Dragin looked suspicious. She could not help asking, “Why? Ancestor, the Dragons are doing so badly now. We’re going extinct!”

“Just remember what I said!” The Golden Dragon reminded her. “The world is too dangerous, it’s not bad to stay alive. Therefore, at any given time, always have a backup plan and prioritize your life. Remember! Remember!”

“Oh!” Dragin still looked perplexed.

“During my natural tribulation, I should’ve failed. However, the expert saved me and I was able to gradually recover. In front of the natural tribulation, the dragons are nothing! However powerful you may be, you’re still like an ant! I’ve lived for countless years and had a second life to be able to come up with a quote that I won’t tell anyone else. Since you’re my descendent, I won’t keep that from you.”

The Golden Dragon’s eyes sparkled as it said, “Living in this world, bootlicking and surviving are the two main things in life. The rest means nothing!”

Dragin said, “I’ll take note.”

“I live here under the protection of an expert, I wasn’t going to get involved with the outside world, so it wasn’t hard to stay alive.” The Golden Dragon paused. “Since I’ve met you, I’ll pass on some Dragon Power to you. However, you have to promise not to reveal anything about me to the outside world.”

Dragin kept nodding. “Don’t worry, ancestor. My lips are the tightest, I promise not to tell anyone.”

“Alright.” The Golden Dragon looked delighted. “You may come to me every day. I’ll pass on some Dragon Power to you!”
