"What? Can't my daughter eat a few of your grass roots and tree bark?"
Deep within space, another middle-aged man walked out slowly. He stood tall and carried a majestic expression. It was none other than Zhu Kun.
"..."
I was left speechless. What did he mean by grass roots and tree bark? These were all spirit medicines, and very expensive ones at that!
Yet Zhu Kun was difficult to provoke after all. I could only offer a sheepish smile, immediately releasing my grip on Zi Yan's hand, and said with a submissive expression:
"Zi Yan, I have a huge use for these spirit medicines right now. Once I refine some medicinal pills for you to eat later, how about that?"
"Alright then, hehe. You said it yourself, so you aren't allowed to forget later." The little girl beamed with joy, hopping around me.
I forced a wry smile. As long as this girl stopped stealing my spirit medicines now, that would be enough, and I continued to bury my head in refining the spirit medicines.
After a moment, Zi Yan suddenly cried out, "Strange, why is Second Elder contacting me all of a sudden?"
This Second Elder referred to the Second Elder of Eastern Dragon Island. Zi Yan had brought quite a few Elders of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan out with her this time, and this Second Elder was responsible for staying behind to guard Dragon Island.
There was a certain secret technique between Zi Yan and him that allowed them to sense each other. At this moment, Zi Yan felt the Second Elder's call, and when she sensed more carefully, she grew even more astonished.
"His location-how is he so close to me, right nearby? He came to the Great Love Alliance too?!"
I was somewhat surprised.
