Chapter 221
“The Immortal has arrived? What would you like? Cucumbers, spinach, or maybe tomatoes? How about some radishes? The radishes today look especially fresh and juicy. Just look at the aura on them—it’s practically dripping! Eating them will definitely strengthen your body and prolong your life. Would you like one?”
The dragon soul flicked its tail, rolling up a white radish, smiling ingratiatingly as it offered it to her.
Yun Jiao: “……”
What the heck?
How had this dragon’s personality completely changed overnight?
Seeing that she didn’t take it, the dragon soul froze for a moment, then as if remembering something, knocked itself lightly on the head with the radish.
“Oh dear, look at me, this radish isn’t even washed yet! The Immortal surely wouldn’t want to touch it like this. Please wait a moment, I’ll wash it clean in the stream and bring it back to you. In the meantime, feel free to look around—if anything catches your eye, tell me, and I’ll pick it for you!”
After saying that, it rolled up a few radishes and happily floated toward the stream beside the mountain. Its change in attitude was as dramatic as a full Olympic spin.
Yun Jiao stood frozen for a while before she finally reacted. After confirming carefully, she was certain—it really was the same dragon from yesterday. She turned to the person next to her and asked,
“Ying Lun, what’s wrong with this dragon’s head?”
Not only had its attitude toward her completely changed, but its soul form seemed several times smaller than yesterday—barely bigger than a person now.
“Huh?”
Ying Lun was lying limply in the grass hut, looking like a dead fish. The sunlight had dried him out, and he seemed half-asleep. Glancing lazily at the flying dragon soul, he muttered,
“Oh, that thing had some kind of fit last night. Said it wanted to go for a walk down the mountain. I couldn’t stop it no matter what. Took my eyes off it for one second, and poof, it was gone. You young souls these days—so impulsive. Not like we were in my time…”
“Go for a walk?” Yun Jiao blinked.
How could a walk change its entire nature? Suddenly something struck her, and she asked reflexively,
“It couldn’t have… run into the Grandmaster, could it?”
“What do you think? Of course it did!”
Ying Lun rolled over again, now looking even more like a dead fish. He shot her a resentful glance but couldn’t stop his mouth from running.
“My dear little disciple, you really need to do something about Ye Yuan’s bad temper. If I hadn’t shown up when I did last night, that dragon soul would’ve been gone without a trace! Who just attacks someone on a whim? Look at that thing—it’s so weak now it’s barely holding together. If I hadn’t used my life force to stabilize its soul, it wouldn’t even be able to cast a shadow for the vegetables. I mean really, Ye Yuan’s getting on in years and still picks fights with juniors. He’s becoming more and more—”
