Chapter 165: The Holy Mother's Gift, A True Dragon Enters the Moon Embrace Sect! (Part 2)
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you."
Little Dragon Maiden sighed lightly.
"Actually, the previous encounter was arranged by my master, who sent me out to find you."
"But when I heard about a Dragon King outside, I became curious and decided to go look for him instead of revealing myself."
"What about the people chasing you?"
"They're my bodyguards, but I don't want them around. My master has recalled them... I think?"
Little Dragon Maiden shrugged.
"Anyway, I can't sense their presence anymore."
Lin Fan: "..."
"I have two more questions."
"First, why did your master ask you to follow me back to Moon Embrace Sect?"
"Second, why are you so interested in the Dragon King?"
"Why did she ask you to follow me?" Little Dragon Maiden tilted her head, "I don't know either. Maybe it's because I'm too mischievous. I was so bored in the Flower Sanctuary..."
Her face turned slightly red, "I..."
"Letting me follow you must be a good thing!"
"My master said that staying in Moon Embrace Sect would be greatly beneficial to you, but how long I stay is up to me~"
"Let me be clear, if it's not fun, I won't stay for long."
She shook her head.
Great benefits?
Lin Fan's thoughts raced to the previous conversation with the Flower Sanctuary's Holy Mother, who promised a 'gift' if he answered her 'question'. Yet, even after returning to Moon Embrace Sect, he hadn't seen any sign of this gift.
Forget about a gift, he hadn't even seen a shadow of it.
Now, considering the circumstances, could this Little Dragon Maiden be the 'gift'? But only if her presence in Moon Embrace Sect truly brings benefits.
Lin Fan's thoughts raced.
"Speaking of benefits, there are indeed some. What I can think of right now is... as long as she reveals her identity, those petty people won't dare to be too reckless in Moon Embrace Sect, right?"
"At least they won't dare to launch large-scale attacks?"
"As for other benefits..."
Lin Fan scrutinized the young girl from head to toe, feeling that she was very peculiar.
Despite her young age and delicate fists, she could unleash an incredibly terrifying power.
This physical strength was no less than Qin Yu's, and perhaps even stronger!
A body cultivator?
Unlikely!
There must be something else.
"As for the second question..."
"Oh, alright, alright, I'll tell you."
Little Dragon Maiden fidgeted under Lin Fan's intense gaze.
"Actually, I'm not interested in the Dragon King himself, but in dragons."
"Dragons?"
Lin Fan's eyebrows rose.
Fan Jianqiang also realized something and abruptly turned to look at her.
"You..."
"Dragon bloodline?"
"You guessed it?" Little Dragon Maiden was shocked. "I thought I hid it well."
"You did hide it well."
Lin Fan's lips twitched slightly.
Suddenly, he felt a bit foolish.
Her name was Little Dragon Maiden, and she was interested in 'dragons'. Was it strange to connect her to 'dragons'? But on second thought, it was quite normal.
Firstly, how many tens of thousands of years had it been since the Immortal Martial Continent last saw a true dragon? The entire dragon clan had ascended long ago.
As for the name Little Dragon Maiden...
Perhaps others would easily associate it with 'dragons', but as an immortal, he was more likely to think of 'auntie' or 'fairy sister'.
"It must be Dragon Aojiao!"
Lin Fan was about to speak when Fan Jianqiang blurted out.
Lin Fan's eyes lit up at Fan Jianqiang's words.
"No problem, you're right!"
"It's because of Dragon Aojiao!"
Why didn't he guess Little Dragon Maiden's identity earlier?
It was definitely because Dragon Aojiao was nearby, and her stupidity-inducing aura was too powerful! Even with preparation and caution, one could still unknowingly fall under its influence...
Oh no!
Both were shocked at the realization.
As for the truth...
Pfft, it was all Dragon Aojiao's fault.
Without saying a word, they both understood.
Lin Fan scrutinized Little Dragon Maiden, his eyes burning with anticipation.
"You... what do you want to do?"
Little Dragon Maiden took a step back, her face filled with caution. "You can't kill me. My master is the Flower Sanctuary's Holy Mother!"
"Don't even think about bathing in dragon blood to strengthen your body."
"And don't think about eating a true dragon's heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys, even though they are said to taste amazing."
"Definitely don't think about plucking my dragon tendons, peeling my dragon scales, or refining my dragon horns for artifacts!"
"You can't eat dragon meat either!"
"As for using my dragon heart..."
Lin Fan: "..."
Fan Jianqiang: "..."
You're leading me on!
She had already laid out her plans for her dragon scales, tendons, and internal organs, but he couldn't help but salivate.
Ah!
Was she trying to live one more day?
Slap!
Lin Fan slapped Little Dragon Maiden's head, "Stop talking!"
"Otherwise, I fear I won't be able to control my drooling."
Eight Treasures Rooster?
Eight Treasures Duck eggs with incredible medicinal effects?
Compared to a true dragon, nothing compares!
A true dragon is truly a treasure from head to toe, even its 'fingernail' is a precious artifact, and a significant one at that!
Unfortunately, the dragon clan is too powerful.
Over the years, they have become even more legendary.
Now, there's one right in front of them?
If it's a true dragon...
Slurp.
Lin Fan swallowed his saliva, suppressing his urge to act, and asked, "A true dragon? Purebred?"
Little Dragon Maiden raised her head proudly, "Purebred true dragon!"
"Which lineage?"
"Wood lineage." Little Dragon Maiden's arrogance gradually faded, and she slowly lowered her head.
Purebred true dragons are generally divided into five lineages: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
Among them, the Wood lineage holds the lowest status due to its weaker combat power. However, it excels in auxiliary abilities.
As a result, the Wood-type True Dragon, with its inferior personal martial prowess, held a lowly status.
Aside from the conventional five types, there are occasionally mutated bloodlines, such as Thunder Dragons and Black Dragons.
However, these are too distant, so there's no need to dwell on them.
When Lin Fan learned that Xiao Longnv was a Wood Dragon, he didn't show the slightest hint of looking down on her.
After all, she's a true dragon!
She might very well be the only one in the entire Immortal Martial Continent!
Moreover, her background is so powerful.
The Flower Sanctuary Mother is her master!
She's like a walking talisman.
As for the danger.
Even though true dragons are full of treasures, with such a powerful background, Lin Fan didn't think there would be many foolish enough to dare to lay a hand on her.
"How did you survive?"
Squeak.
Fan Jianqiang curiously asked, "Didn't the Dragon Clan ascend long ago?"
"I was an accident."
Xiao Longnv lowered her head. "My master said that when I was still in my mother's womb, my mother encountered a fierce battle and died."
"I also almost lost all my vitality."
"Everyone thought I was dead."
"Until later, by chance, I, still in my dragon egg form, arrived at the Flower Sanctuary."
"A senior from the Flower Sanctuary discovered that I still had a trace of life, so they tried their best to maintain and treat me. After a long time, with the efforts of generation after generation in the Flower Sanctuary and the consumption of a large amount of resources, I finally recovered."
"And in this generation, I hatched and was accepted as a disciple by my master."
She no longer hid anything.
Fan Jianqiang suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, that makes sense."
Lin Fan also nodded lightly, "Indeed."
"It's fate."
"For you, not being able to ascend with your clan might be a mixed blessing. As the saying goes, an old man loses his horse, who knows if it's a blessing in disguise. Don't dwell on this matter too much."
"Look forward."
Lin Fan rubbed the girl's long hair and smiled comfortingly.
"Of course, hmph!"
"Also, don't mess with my hair."
Xiao Longnv bared her teeth and claws, "Be careful, or I'll bite you!"
"I'm scared~" Lin Fan pretended to cooperate.
"Hmph, now you know I'm amazing, right?"
"Let's go, take me back to the Moon Embrace Sect, but I'm telling you in advance, if the Moon Embrace Sect isn't fun, I'm leaving too!"
"It's rare to come out once, so naturally, I'll go wherever it's fun."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
Lin Fan responded while pondering.
Moon Embrace Sect...
I have no idea~!
Moreover, it's hard to say what this girl likes.
But thinking about it, it's probably not the kind of thing little girls like? Otherwise, how could she find the Flower Sanctuary boring?
Oh well, one step at a time, no point in thinking too much now.
"Let's go."
They set off on their journey.
Lin Fan asked, "But I'm curious, you said that bringing you back to the sect would greatly benefit our Moon Embrace Sect. What exactly are these benefits?"
"???"
Xiao Longnv was bewildered, "You don't know?"
Lin Fan and Fan Jianqiang shook their heads together.
"..."
"I'm a Wood Dragon, a Wood Dragon!"
Xiao Longnv gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Didn't I already say that?"
"You did say that, and then what?" The two still didn't understand.
Xiao Longnv paused, feeling frustrated. She had revealed her weakness, saying that she was the lowest-ranked Wood Dragon, and now they still didn't understand the benefits?
Didn't she reveal her weakness for nothing?
"You don't understand the True Dragon Clan?!"
"What does it mean to understand?" Lin Fan asked back, "Does knowing the approximate 'varieties' and some past history count?"
Fan Jianqiang couldn't help but say, "Your True Dragon Clan ascended countless millennia ago. Since then, there have been no true dragons in the Immortal Martial Continent. Over time, the understanding of true dragons has naturally diminished to almost nothing."
There's no fault in these words.
It only exists in ancient history, and it's extremely distant history.
Unless someone specifically researches it, no one can figure it out.
Unfortunately, Lin Fan and Fan Jianqiang haven't thoroughly researched the True Dragon Clan.
"..."
Xiao Longnv said angrily, "We Wood-type True Dragons have auxiliary abilities. Aside from our innate divine abilities that can help others heal, wherever we are, the Essence of Grass and Trees naturally gathers."
"What's the use of the Essence of Grass and Trees? You cultivators should know that, right?"
"I do know that!"
Lin Fan's eyes lit up.
The Essence of Grass and Trees?
He was very familiar with this.
It's closely related to alchemists.
It has a direct relationship with spirit herbs, spirit fruits, and spirit plants. The denser the Essence of Grass and Trees, the better the results!
Plants grow faster, mature sooner, and the effects are even more incredible!
Even in places where the Essence of Grass and Trees is dense, it can enhance the growth of spirit plants and improve the effectiveness of elixirs!
Lin Fan felt that for alchemists and various plants, the most fitting description for the Essence of Grass and Trees is... an external cheat!
A perfect external cheat.
"So, the Flower Sanctuary Mother is also too powerful!"
Lin Fan felt a sense of awe.
Indeed, Xiao Longnv is a 'gift'!
But this also represents that before this, the Flower Sanctuary Mother already had a deep understanding of the Moon Embrace Sect and knew that the Moon Embrace Sect's main industry is 'Alchemy'!"
Or perhaps, she even knew about Xiao Ling'er, the Heaven's Talent, and sent this gift?
Regardless of which possibility, it shows that the Flower Sanctuary isn't simple.
At the very least, in terms of divination and intelligence, they are superior to Lin Fan and the Moon Embrace Sect.
"..."
"That's not right."
Lin Fan suddenly realized, "That's a Flower Sanctuary!"
"From the oldest chaotic era to the present, a Flower Sanctuary that has never been overthrown by a lower-ranked power, it's almost an 'Eternal' existence. If it were inferior to the Moon Embrace Sect, that would be the problem."
"Yes, that's right, no problem."
"I've been putting too much pressure on myself."
Upon careful consideration, while there are many formidable opponents on his side, the Flower Sanctuary is not to be underestimated.
After so many years, have they never encountered formidable opponents before? It's highly likely, and not just one or two.
Even if they have ascended long ago, they must have left behind numerous methods for the Flower Sanctuary.
The formidable opponents on his side are still in their growth phase, so it's reasonable and expected for them to be less formidable than the Flower Sanctuary.
...
Outside the Moon Embrace Sect.
Xiao Longnv looked around with interest, appearing quite happy.
"The scenery here isn't bad!" she exclaimed.
Her words were sincere, without any hint of disdain.
However, Lin Fan felt a bit embarrassed.
"Well, the scenery is decent, but it can't compare to the Flower Sanctuary. Even if we try to flatter, we can't match up."
Nevertheless, since Xiao Longnv didn't show any disdain, Lin Fan couldn't dampen her spirits.
So, Lin Fan smiled and said, "It's passable. Let me show you around."
"Okay, let's go~!"
Xiao Longnv showed interest, "I love adventures!"
Unknowingly, Lin Fan had a bold idea.
For Xiao Longnv, the key to having fun seemed to lie in this 'adventure'. After all, she wouldn't be interested in scenery or toys, would she? If that were the case, how could she find the Flower Sanctuary boring and instead want to come out and have fun? The Flower Sanctuary has everything one could want.
Except... Lin Fan's mind flashed with insight, and he knew the answer.
"Danger!"
With the Flower Sanctuary's profound foundation, what couldn't they achieve or obtain?
However, genuine danger was something they would never allow.
Even during training, there would be 'guarantees' in place, perhaps even with super-powerful bodyguards secretly following her. How could there be any danger?
After all, Xiao Longnv wasn't an ordinary disciple of the Flower Sanctuary; she was the Holy Mother's direct disciple and the only true dragon on the entire Immortal Martial Continent. Naturally, they wouldn't allow her to be in any danger.
Moreover, as a divine beast, she was different from human girls.
She wouldn't possibly like dolls or various toys or other random playthings.
As a powerful divine beast, true dragons have always been fearless of heaven and earth, and it's reasonable for their 'offspring' to enjoy causing trouble.
"If that's the case, I know how to keep this young lady here. The Moon Embrace Sect may not have much else, but it won't lack trouble."
A group of formidable opponents.
These formidable opponents were all 'hanging' around.
Could they possibly lack trouble?
"However, I don't think her bodyguards have returned to the Flower Sanctuary."
"I estimate they're using tricks to deceive children."
"I don't believe the Flower Sanctuary would let her wander around on her own or trust the Moon Embrace Sect. Sometimes, even the Flower Sanctuary's reputation isn't enough."
"So, her bodyguards must be nearby, either following from a distance or using some secret technique to hide their presence and watch over her."
"..."
"However, this isn't a big problem. I've already guessed it."
"Come, little girl, let's go this way."
As Lin Fan pondered, he led Xiao Longnv around the Moon Embrace Sect.
Fan Jianqiang quietly left without a sound.
...
When Xiao Longnv entered the Moon Embrace Sect's Sect Defense Array.
Inside the Spirit Beast Garden.
All the spirit beasts trembled, their faces filled with fear. Then, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, shivering.
Even the invincible Eight Treasures Rooster and Eight Treasures Duck, known for their running abilities, were lying on the ground, their heads buried in the soil.
This scene was quite comical.
The Eight Treasures Rooster and Eight Treasures Duck, with their large and round bottoms, were shaking and trembling, creating a funny sight.
However, Zhu Rou Rong couldn't bring himself to laugh.
One of the Eight Treasures Ducks, due to its 'excitement', broke an egg, causing him heartache.
Looking at the twelve Red-Haired Pigs, who were showing early signs of talent, he realized something was amiss.
"What's going on?"
"What else could it be?!"
At that moment, a dark-haired, burly man approached with a grim expression.
"Heavenly Pig Big Shot, do you know what's happening?"
"Hmph!"
Hundun Heavenly Boar's face grew even darker, turning green, "Damn it! Kid, if I'd known this thing would appear here, I wouldn't have come."
"Although it's indeed fun, and I like the hundreds of mother pigs you prepared, making me linger, but if I have to stay here because of this, I'll become the laughingstock of my clan."
"No, Big Shot, what's going on?" Zhu Rou Rong panicked.
Even the Heavenly Pig Big Shot, a super powerhouse, was this scared?
"What the hell is going on?!"
"A true dragon has appeared!"
"And it's intentionally leaking its aura!"
"It must have sensed my presence here."
"?"
"What?!"
Zhu Rou Rong was shocked, then he realized something.
It seemed his master had once told him...
Hundun Heavenly Boar's ancestor, Hundun Demon Pig, was once extremely fearsome. During that time, it had even preyed on true dragons?
"That's not right!"
Hundun Heavenly Boar stomped and cursed, "True dragons have been extinct for who knows how many millions of years!"
The last day of the month, monthly votes will be wasted if not used!
