Long Jinyu hugged Yu and cried for a long time, as if he wanted to pour out all the hesitation, loneliness and grievances he had experienced since time travel. It wasn't until his tears dried up and his throat became hoarse that he gradually stopped sobbing.
He raised his head, his eyelashes were still stuck together, and his pair of reddish gold and silver pupils looked at Yu in a foggy manner.
The more she lowered her eyes to look at him, her tear-stained, slightly pale face, illuminated by the emerald halo, had a thrilling sense of vulnerability, but her eyes revealed a sense of complete dependence and... ignorant wonder.
'How come this Lord... is so... lovable?' She thought to herself, unconsciously curling up a strand of his silver hair with her fingertips, moving gently.
'Yu... it's really gentle... like Mother Jin...'
This thought emerged uncontrollably in Long Jinyu's heart. She is not only the embodiment of power and holiness, but her quiet and tolerant temperament is more like a harbor of eternal warmth. The young mind that has long lacked the care of older women has once again allowed some hidden "sister control" attributes to sneak in.
He sniffed, with a thick nasal voice, and murmured, as if talking to himself or confirming to her. "That stingy System Treasure... finally became a human again this time... after so long... finally, finally unlocked the most important 'Nine Dragon God Guards'..."
He still remembered that the system once mentioned that if the nine guards came together, not to mention the four empires, even the entire Douluo Planet would not be able to compete with it. At that time, it was just a picture, but now that he is really holding one of them, the shock and sense of security have surged into reality.
The more she looked at him, who had just finished crying, with wet eyes and a bit of silly talk, a circle of soft light almost overflowed in his emerald eyes. A strange feeling that she had defined in her long life as "heart being cute" quietly took hold of her heart. She couldn't help but rub his soft and slightly messy hair again.
"Well, she finally didn't delay anymore this time."
Yu's voice was very soft, for fear of disturbing the atmosphere at this moment, "The main system... at the moment when you were really about to die, Bi Ji feathers were triggered, and the foreign 'concept level' curse invaded, it finally stopped worrying about those redundant protocols and integral logic, and urgently approved my birth program."
She began to use the most concise language to describe everything that happened after he fell into coma: Nether Douluo's appearance and greed, the sudden arrival of Di Tian and Bi Ji, Mu En's persistence, Xuan Zi's impulse and... were severely damaged by Di Tian's simplified version Dragon God Claw in an instant, and even Yanhuang Lingyun Medical Mansion's soul guide fleet that transcended the times turned out, and the two sides almost broke out into a full-scale conflict...
"... I used my breath to scare away Di Tian. After settling down your teachers and companions, I focused on guarding your recovery." Yu's tone paused for a moment, and a cold glimmer flashed in his eyes.
"As for the Nether Douluo who hurt you... I wanted to erase it on the spot. But at that time, I sensed another extremely hidden but extremely powerful dark aura, hidden in the deeper shadows, locked on this place from a distance. Its cultivation level is probably not inferior to Mu En."
Long Jinyu took a breath. "Is there another master? Who is it?"
Yu shook his head slightly. "The aura disappears at the touch of a finger, which is extremely clever. He did not show up or take action. After Nether Douluo fled in a hurry, the aura also dissipated without a trace."
She pondered for a moment, then slowly chanted ten words: "Happy breeze, Black and White Twin Holy Dragons."
Long Jinyu's pupils shrank, and he suddenly understood. "It's him...Long Xiaoyao? The Dragon Emperor Douluo who is as famous as the teacher, but is willing to 'fall into darkness' for love! Is he here too?"
Yu nodded. "Nine times out of ten. This person's position is complicated, and he has a deep connection with Holy Spirit Cult, but he also has a deep connection with your teacher Mu En. He appears at this time, and his purpose is unpredictable. Under the circumstances, ensuring your absolute safety is the only priority. Letting go of a bereaved dog that has planted a 'mark' to be alert to the possible existence of more dangerous lurking dragons is a necessary trade-off."
Long Jinyu felt a chill behind him and a buzzing in his head. At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of Yu's meticulousness and decisiveness. It turned out that when he was in a coma, the situation was so strange and complicated.
He just cleaned up a Evil Soul Master den, how come it was like poking a hornet's nest and attracting all the top forces in the mainland? Di Tian all came to "pick up" him personally? Isn't this too "popular"?!
"Wait!"
He grabbed Yu's arm suddenly and captured the most critical information, "What else did you say? Soul guide fleet?! Our Medical Pavilion... isn't it just the kind of spaceship used for rescue? Sister Su still has such a hand?!"
Seeing his shocked and confused expression of "I didn't know my family was so rich", Yu Yu's eyes flashed with a smile.
"Dean Su's wisdom is far-reaching, and the legacy he left behind does not stop here. According to Miss Huang Yue, 'Shennong' and its escort formation are originally designed to deal with extreme situations. They are usually sealed in an independent dimension. They can only be awakened if the life of the palace master is absolutely threatened or if 'Yanhuang Order' is held."
She paused, remembered another thing, and continued in a calm tone, "In addition, your 'cheap teacher', Mr. Mu En, discussed something with me when you were in a coma."
"He wants to give you the 'Dragon Core' he treasures, to make up for your lack of protection and help you strengthen your foundation."
Long Jinyu was startled.
Dragon Core? In the original book, Mu En was the treasure at the bottom of the box. It was originally reserved for Bei Bei, but due to fate, it was given to the one Huo Yuhao? But... that thing seems to be of no use to me, right?
"Then did you agree?"
Yu shook his head slightly. "I declined on your behalf."
"Oh? Why?" Long Jinyu asked subconsciously.
Sure enough, Yu explained, "Then Dragon Core is indeed a treasure for ordinary Soul Master, and even for Bei Bei with the blood of Radiant Holy Dragon, to improve the physique and consolidate the foundation. But you have the orthodox Dragon God Bloodline, the level of life has long been different. The dragon power contained in that Dragon Core is not even a 'snack' for you, its effect is minimal, and it is useless to take it. If you take it forcibly, you may need to spend more time refining impurities due to the energy level gap, which is not worth the gain."
She looked at Long Jinyu with an expression that seemed to be true, and continued, "And, I guess, if you are awake and know about this, you will definitely not accept it."
Long Jinyu nodded silently.
The more he said it, the more he was right. He knew the meaning of Dragon Core to Bei Bei, which was Mu En's deep expectation for his direct descendants.
Now because of his appearance, the fate between Mu En and Huo Yuhao must have faded a lot. If he doesn't take this Dragon Core, there is a high chance that it will eventually fall into the hands of Bei Bei.
If you own the system yourself, there will be no shortage of good things in the future, so why bother "stealing" the opportunity of Bei Bei? Moreover, by accepting something that is of little use to you, you have betrayed the teacher's love and care, and you owe an adult a favor for nothing, and you feel even more regretful.
"A gentleman never takes what others like. Hey, you really understand me!"
He raised his head and looked at Yu Yu's perfect profile, his heart filled with the feeling of being "understood". He couldn't help but shrink into Yu Yu's arms again, and said with a nasal voice, "You are much smarter than that bastard System Treasure! If only she had half of your thoughtfulness and wisdom..."
The more indulgently she let him nuzzle in her arms, the dragon's tail subconsciously hugged him more securely. She could sense the desire for intimacy and favor deep in his soul, and the loneliness after time travel. Although the teachers and friends were good, they were separated by a barrier of the world. And she, as the "family" who shared the same blood with him and swore to protect him, might be the best existence to fill this gap.
"Your Majesty Mingjian. Although Mr. Mu En is a little regretful, he also expresses his understanding."
The corners of her lips raised slightly, and she suddenly said, "However, that Dragon Core is not suitable, so of course I have prepared a better one for you."
"Huh?" Long Jinyu blinked curiously.
Yu Su raised her hand lightly, and as the emerald brilliance circulated, two boxes made of neither gold nor jade, and flowing with a warm luster, appeared out of thin air in her palm.
"Meeting gift." She handed the box to him.
Long Jinyu's eyes lit up and he took it carefully. He opened the first smaller box first.
The box was padded with soft unknown velvet, and a scale lay quietly on it. It was only the size of a palm, but the whole body showed a vibrant emerald color. There seemed to be liquid brilliance flowing slowly inside, exuding a refreshing and refreshing breath and an indestructible sense of weight.
"This is my 'reverse scale'."
Yu's voice was soft but with undoubted power, "Wear it close to your body, and it can automatically protect you. Its protective and healing abilities are far beyond the comparison of Bi Ji's natal feathers. Unless it is an attack that truly touches the god-level laws, it will be difficult to hurt you at all."
Reverse scale?!
The most important and most powerful scales on the dragon's body!
Long Jinyu's breath stagnated, and his fingers trembled lightly as he touched the slightly cool scales. A blood-blooded warmth instantly surged throughout his body - this was not only a gift, but also a symbol of Yue's complete connection to his own safety.
He held it carefully in his hand, looked at it for a long time, then closed the cover and held it tightly to his chest.
"Thank you... the more..." his voice was choked.
Yue's eyes softened and she motioned for him to open the second, larger box.
Long Jinyu took a deep breath and started with stronger expectations.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, nine-colored brilliance overflowed, illuminating the entire ward like a dream.
In the center of the box, there is an object floating quietly - it is a dragon-shaped Head Soul Bone that has been reduced countless times, but is exquisite and perfect to the extreme!
It does not look like a ferocious skeleton, but more like a naturally formed prototype of a crown that symbolizes supreme authority.
The whole body is filled with nine kinds of brilliance: gold, silver, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo, and purple. The brilliance is restrained and deep. Each pattern seems to contain the truth of heaven and earth, the dragon's power is hidden, and it is sacred and inviolable.
