“Haha, haha!” Sui Xiong laughed so happily that his body shook back and forth, dozens of tentacles dancing in the air, as if he was convulsing. “Shoggoth, you’re such a genius!”
“What’s the problem?” Shoggoth looked very innocent. “I just thought Miss Graupel was alone underground guarding the treasury. I thought it was so cold and pitiful for her to be there alone that I went to tell her stories. Alas! If I hadn’t left my hometown in pursuit of art, I would have had a daughter her age…”
“What a daughter! Can you even have a dragon daughter?” Although the misunderstanding had been solved, Frost still had an angry expression and talked in angrily. “Our dragons lay eggs. Show me how you can lay an egg!”
“I’m just making an analogy…”
“What a damn analogy! You just want to chase after my sister!”
Watching them quarrel again, Sui Xiong waved his tentacles, and the powerful pressure that appeared and disappeared within a second was enough to calm them down.
“Well, that’s it.” Seeing the two sides stop fighting, he touched his head with his tentacles and said thoughtfully, “But I really should consider changing her post. It’s improper to let a little girl live underground all the time…”
“You’re wrong. Her current life is the best for Graupel.” Snow smiled and shook her head. “If you want her move out, she’ll be sad.”
“But children need to communicate with others.” Shoggoth said, “I’ve consulted a lot of parenting experts. They told me that if a child lived alone all year round, it would be easy for them to be isolated, withdrawn, and paranoid. Then they could suffer from a variety of mental illnesses—”
“There isn’t such a thing for dragons. That’s only for fragile human beings.” Frost interrupted Shoggoth’s remark. “You aren’t a Rock Dragon. Don’t assume we go by human standards! For us dragons, living alone is the most normal way of life. She’s even been working all day with golden coins and living in underground caves that are the most suitable for her. If other dragons knew about her life here, they would admire it greatly!”
Sui Xiong nodded slightly and asked, “What about you? Do you admire this kind of life?”
“Of course I do, but I’m a man! I want to gather wealth and build a dragon cave with my own strength!” Frost replied proudly.
Sui Xiong was shocked at his reply and appreciated the boy who had always done things in an awkward way a little more.
Although this kid had many shortcomings, generally speaking, he was just an innocent boy who had grown older and stronger, but not smarter. However, his ambition alone was worth others’ appreciation!
“Then how are you going to gather wealth?” Sui Xiong asked with great interest.
“I’m learning the technology of prospecting, and I’m also working on plane shuttle magic. Once I’m good at it, I’ll go to the Earth Element Plane to mine,” Frost said. “This is the most orthodox way for us Rock Dragons to acquire wealth. Most of our successful predecessors have gathered wealth in this way.”
“It seems that Rock Dragons are not in the kind camp. Why do you make money in such a loyal and honest way?” Sui Xiong asked curiously.
Frost was about to answer, but his face turned red, and he closed his mouth.
However, it was useless. At this moment, he was so close to Sui Xiong that what he was thinking was transparent in Sui Xiong’s eyes. As long as Sui Xiong looked carefully, he could see the answer directly from his mind.
The reason was actually simple: they weren’t powerful enough.
As a member of the Inferior dragons, the average power of Rock Dragons was a bit tragic. They didn’t fly fast or high enough. They didn’t have strong power. Their magic talents were ranked almost at the bottom of all dragons. Their only abilities were strong claws and thick scales on their bodies. In any case, they were like blue-collar basketball players on earth who had a strong build, but weren’t skilled enough. They had to rely on hard work to cooperate with their teammates and were responsible for making fouls when it was necessary.
