1378 The Chaotic Universe (1/2)
Bu Fang saw the little dragon lying in front of the restaurant door at a glance. It was indeed a little dragon, with a body just slightly larger than a tiger. When compared with Yellow Spring Great Sage's Illuminating Dragon, it was so much smaller. Lying on the ground, that Illuminating Dragon was as lofty as a great mountain.
He narrowed his eyes, remembering that Divine Dragon had told him that every Three-claw True Dragon was a Demigod. 'In other words, this little dragon is a Demigod? But… If it's a Demigod, why didn't it appear in the previous battle?' Bu Fang had many questions in his mind, but he was in no hurry to ask them. He knew this girl must have something to say.
The girl was nervous. She had not seen so many people for a very long time. After being locked up in Alpha's warship for so long, she had somewhat forgotten how to communicate with others. However, she had to pluck up courage for Xiao Long. Now that she was in a strange place, the little dragon was her only friend.
She glanced around and rested her eyes on Bu Fang. Then, while holding her hands together nervously, she made a deep bow to him. ”How… How do you… do… Can you… Can you give me one of those purple fruits? Xiao Long will die without Purple Dragon Fruit.”
Her voice was pleasant to the ear, but her words slightly stunned everyone.
Tian Cang looked at her, frowning. When he was in that warship, this girl led him to Er Ha, so he thought he should say something now. However, before he could open his mouth, Lord Dog had already pointed out a paw, and a purple fruit immediately flew into the girl's hand.
”Your dragon is… cute. Lord Dog likes it,” Lord Dog said, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.
The girl paused, somewhat dumbstruck. It was as if she never thought that she would get the fruit so easily.
”That's a Three-claw True Dragon, isn't it? That makes it a Demigod… Why would it die without this purple fruit?” Bu Fang was in no hurry to walk into the kitchen now. Instead, he walked back out and asked the girl.
The girl took a deep breath. She knew she had to answer the question, so she fell silent for a moment as if she was considering the words she was about to say.
”None of these Three-claw True Dragons raised by Alpha are Demigods because their incubations were hastened. Alpha got dragon eggs from smugglers and then hatched them into little dragons… He raised them to sell in the Divine Dynasty, where many high officials like to eat dragon meat…
”The meat of Demigod dragons is too expensive. Alpha couldn't get them, but he could afford to raise this kind of Three-claw True Dragons. Xiao Long will stay alive as long as it is fed regularly with Purple Dragon Fruit. Otherwise, the side effect of hastened incubation will kill it instantly.”
Bu Fang understood at once. No wonder he could not sense the Demigod aura from this little dragon. It turned out that the incubations of all the little dragons on the warship were hastened, which resulted in a significant drop in their cultivation base. However, their meat was the real dragon meat…
There would be no slaughtering without its trade. It was a famous quote in his previous life, which seemed to apply to this world as well. Those in the upper echelons would go to great lengths to eat dragon meat.
”The dragon eggs were stolen from Dragon Valley… These little dragons are innocent,” the girl said as tears glistened in her eyes.
Bu Fang nodded.
Seeing that Bu Fang had no more questions for her, the girl came to the little dragon's side and gave the Purple Dragon Fruit to it. The little dragon still looked a little wary, but dragons were clever creatures, so it quickly opened its mouth and devoured the fruit.
It did not take long for the weak little dragon to recover. Soon, it began to flap its wings happily, emanating a Nine-revolution Great Saint aura.
”Thank you… Thank you…”
The girl put her palms together and kept bowing at Bu Fang, Lord Dog, and the others. She was really grateful for their help.
”You worked for Alpha? What's your name?” Tian Cang asked softly. He was always gentle with girls.
The girl glanced at him, blushed, and answered in a low voice, ”You can call me Ah Zi. I'm from Xiayi Divine Dynasty, a slave Alpha bought from the slave market…”
A slave?
The expression of everyone present changed, and they looked at her with sympathy. The fate of a girl would always be miserable when she was a slave.
”I was a subject of the Great Goddess World until Xiayi Divine Dynasty invaded us. It is too formidable for us to resist. After the war, many of our people were sold to the slave market of the Divine Dynasty…” she said sadly.
It was the first time the crowd heard about the great worlds outside the Netherworld, so they were very curious.
Tian Cang looked at the girl with pity, then he took a chair and set it in front of her. ”Sit down and tell us slowly… We mean you no harm. This will be your second home from now on,” he said.
Bu Fang looked at the gentle Tian Cang with a stunned face. 'Is he trying to pick up this girl?!'
”Tell us about the outside world. What is the Divine Dynasty, and what are great worlds?” Tian Cang said, patting the girl on the shoulder.
She was actually very beautiful. Her eyes were big, and her eyelashes were long, and when they blinked, they seemed to talk. Free of Alpha's control, the girl was much more animated.
