Chapter 103 (2/2)

The innocent Nice didn’t think too much. She reached out her hand and caught one of Sui Xiong’s tentacles, and pulled him over.

“Ah?! Hey, young lady, what are you doing?”

Before he finished his sentence, he had already been hugged by Nice. Nice was very happy, holding a pink pig in one hand and a green jellyfish on the other.

“Steele, you did this on purpose?” Sui Xiong finally knew what was going on, and shouted at her telepathically. “How dare you trick me!”

“Calm down. I just want to cheer up a young kid,” Steele laughed. “You also agree that we should help them to release some pressure, right?”

“But I didn’t mean we should help do so by pretending to be pets!” Sui Xiong was shouting aloud. “I am a God! I am not a kid’s pet!”

“It’s fine. I am a human, and I don’t mind; but you are just a jellyfish! Why you are making such a fuss?”

Sui Xiong was extremely angry, but he could not find any words to argue with her. One could be invincible as long as he became shameless. Even a God could be speechless when facing a extremely shameless person like Steele.

He meant to run away, but he didn’t want to do so when he saw young Nice’s happy face. This poor girl. Her father died when she was so young. She used to live a rich life, but now she lives poorly. Now she has to drift from place to place and live the life of an adventurer…

At last, Sui Xiong sighed and decided to be a temporary pet.

When the sky in the east began to lighten, Ray came back riding the copper crown dragon. He finally managed to tame this dragon, and turned it into his mount. Meanwhile, Nice walked out of the tent yawning. In one hand, there was a small pink pig, and in her other was a green jellyfish.

Seeing this, Ray was stunned for a long while. Then he burst into laughter.

Later, everyone all was packed and began to proceed.

There were three horses moving in the front. behind them was a carriage pulled by two horses.

This time, only Liv was riding on the horse.

At first Liv was not used to controlling three horses all together and riding in a flurry, but soon she managed to find a way to control them. These war-horses had already received very good training and were easy to control. As long as she was riding a horse in the front, the other two would follow behind closely.

She was proceeding in a casual way and looking around from time to time. In the distance, Ray was riding the copper crown dragon and showing off. Although this dragon was also called the two-footed flying dragon, it was not good at flying at all. It could only fly for a short time when it needed to hunt, or in battle. Usually it walked. The dragon Ray was riding was no exception, and since it was much stronger than a common two-footed flying dragon, its skills in flying were even worse. Actually, it was not flying at all, but jumping and gliding.

Ray was not satisfied about this, so as he was proceeding, he was also training it to fly. He knew that he would get into a big fight when he arrived at Cloud Pagoda City, and he would also need to fight with the enemy in the air. So he believed that if his mount couldn’t be as agile as an eagle in the sky, it should at least be able to fly steadily.

So Ray greatly increased the training, which made the dragon feel very miserable. But after a period of tough training, its skill in flying greatly improved, and it was able to fly in the air continually. If a flying competition were to be held among the two-foot flying dragons, it would be a very promising candidate for the gold medal.

The night watcher—the huge ape—had been behaving itself all the while. During the day, it followed closely behind the team. At night, he carefully watched the immediate surroundings, so everyone could have a sound sleep. As time went by, even Ranke began to trust it, and Madame Teague would prepare the same meal as everyone else for it during the day.

When the ape held a wooden bowl and ate, it looked very much like a man!

It took around nineteen days for them to reach to Cloud Pagoda City from Golden Pagoda City.

It was a long and dangerous journey. They met many monsters, at least ten, that were as strong as the huge ape. They had even met an especially cruel monster: a huge gray dragon. Judging from its smooth skin, it was still very young, but its imposing manner already terrified everyone. Before it even landed, both the war-horses and the two horses pulling the carriage fell to the ground due to extreme terror. Madame Teague, Liv, and Ranke were very nervous, and pulled out their swords or opened their bows.

The huge ape meant to run away, but it didn’t. It broke a thick branch off a tree and held it in its hand. Its feet were shaking heavily; obviously it was not the one to count on when they really got into a fight with this gray dragon.

Ray jumped off the copper crown dragon, which had already lied down on its stomach to show its admiration to the superior species. He didn’t pull out his sword; instead he stood still, with an intense gaze, and stared at the dragon.

The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and neither of them made any moves. At last, the gray huge dragon sneered, turned around, and flew away.

Even after this incident, everyone was afraid whenever they recalled it. They had a new understanding of Ray’s ability. He was a strong man who didn’t even need to pull out his sword, and could scare away a huge dragon simply with his imposing manner!

After the dragon left, Madame Teague asked Ray if he would be Liv’s teacher. Ray accepted. Ranke also wanted to learn from him; thus, Ray gained two students.
