Super Greenhouse

Crunch, crunch.

Old Toad hugged the watermelon and gnawed fiercely, scarlet watermelon juice staining across his white belly.

Liang Qu narrowed his eyes slightly.

That old tortoise bastard had become increasingly difficult to deal with after so long apart.

"Only gentlemen may speak of change. In this life, Liang admires only three demons: one Frog King, one Frog Duke, and one Pengze demon leader. That is why I am willing today to build a bridge between the General and the Sea Merchant, so you may exchange what each lacks. We stirred up a few conflicts before, but you and I were strangers and wary of one another—mere misunderstandings. Why is the old General still holding it against me?"

"Stop wasting your schemes. Save your breath and spit for your Dragon Girl." General Yuan shook his head, paddled his limbs, and swam elsewhere, clearly unwilling to listen to any sermon. "Is it not enough that you alone know this old man's secret? Do you want more people studying it too?"

Fat Catfish wagged his tail and followed.

Liang Qu sat down on the fish's head.

"With the old General's mastery of concealing Long Qi, how could anyone else discover it? And even if they did notice, how could they comprehend the mysterious uses of Long Qi? At most, they would discover the materials on Shou Mountain. With the General's strength, that is more than enough to protect them."

"How could they comprehend it? Aren't you exactly such a person? You snatched it by cunning and force! I have lived so many years, yet this is the first time I have stumbled so badly because of someone!"

"Back then, General, you approached me yourself to deliver Heaven and Earth Long Qi. How can you blame me?" Liang Qu nearly rolled his eyes.
