The Winged Dragon Yinglong (33)

"Hold head high!"

Just as Xuansu Shi was enthusiastically flipping through different newspapers, wanting to see if there was anything new today...

A high-pitched dragon roar suddenly came from the stream not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a winged Huanglong with golden scales flew out of the water.

"Hold head high!"

After circling several times in mid-air.

The winged dragon, several meters long, immediately landed beside Xuansu Shi and transformed into a half-grown child.

The child had golden eyes, horns on its head, and a constantly swaying dragon tail behind it.

"Yinglong?"

Why are you home so early today?

She called out the child's name as soon as she opened her mouth, Xuansu Shi immediately put down the newspaper in her hand.

Although Xuansu Shi was imprisoned on Hidden Dragon Island, her child with Deception Rabbit was never confined there.

Even the name "Yinglong".

All of these were obtained by Deception Rabbit after his birth, when he specifically sought them out from Li Boyang.

Considering the custom among Mountain Folk that they typically only give their children a formal name when they are seven or eight years old.

The name "Yinglong" is more of a nickname than an official name.

Deception Rabbit is ready to go to Li Boyang to ask for a formal name once Yinglong has matured and truly grown up.

"Did you have another fight with that little girl playing in the mud?"

Looking at Yinglong, who remained silent, Xuansu Shi reached out and gently stroked his head, asking softly.

We didn't have any conflict.

Stubbornly raising his head, Yinglong retorted.

"She just predicted that I would have some bloodshed recently, like hitting my head."

"So they told me to come back as early as possible to avoid any danger."

"You also know her talent in divination..."

"That's something that has been affirmed by the Celestial Person, and they've never made a mistake in their calculations."

Upon hearing Yinglong's words, Xuansu Shi blinked.

Of course, she knew how formidable that little girl from Li Household Village was.

As far as Xuansu Shi knew, much of the information in the weather forecast section of the Prophet Daily was calculated by that little girl who was not yet five years old.

Compared to other Mountain Folk who were skilled in this art, that little girl had never made a mistake.

It can predict exactly when it will rain, how far it will cover, and even the amount of rain down to the inches.

"Isn't it just a bloody disaster?"

"Your mother will teach you a way to ward off disaster today."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Xuansu Shi chuckled softly.

Then, to Yinglong's astonishment, Xuansu Shi's fingertips gently traced his brow.

Because Xuansu Shi's movements were so fast, Yinglong felt no pain at all, and a drop of blood dripped down his brow.

"Look, wouldn't you call this a bloody disaster?"

Standing there dumbfounded for a long time, Yinglong finally asked incredulously.

"This works?"

Smiling, Xuansu Shi wiped the bloodstain from Yinglong's brow and continued to answer with a smile.

Why not?

"It's just a bloody disaster; it didn't specify what kind of bloody disaster it would be."

"Although your mother cannot compare to the Celestial Person, I am still a deity who has roamed the outside world for thousands of years."

"I've encountered this kind of fate theory quite often; deciphering it can be difficult in some ways, but simple in others."

"Compared to simply running away, proactively facing challenges is the most effective approach."

He nodded, seemingly understanding, but Yinglong, though he didn't grasp the underlying principles, trusted his mother.

Apart from that Celestial Person being, Yinglong had never seen his mother show weakness in front of anyone else.

In this respect, his mother was completely different from his lazy and irresponsible father.

"If you don't believe me, you can use your Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Talisman to contact that little girl and let her see if you're still in danger."

Upon hearing this, a look of panic immediately appeared on Yinglong's face.

"When... when did you find out?"

Xuansu Shi gave the other person's head a good rub and said in an annoyed tone.

"I taught you how to hide things; do you think you can fool me?"

"Isn't it just a Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Talisman?"

"Your mother has never stopped you from interacting with the Mountain Folk outside, but because of your special status, you must be extremely cautious when interacting with Mountain Folk."

As she said this, Xuansu Shi's gaze inadvertently lingered on Yinglong's heart for a moment.

Because she knew that in that place, there was a red reverse scale protecting Yinglong's heart.

Whether Yinglong transforms into human form or dragon form.

The red reverse scale was very conspicuous, as if pointing out its weakness.

Deception Rabbit had also asked Li Boyang for help in finding a way to cover up such an obvious weakness.

However, Li Boyang's answer was that the [Red Eye Cauldron] had already merged with Yinglong.

The sharp spot on his chest, though his weakness, is also his strongest armor.

Forcibly removing it would only leave Yinglong with permanent and irreparable disabilities.

In fact, what Li Boyang said was somewhat conservative.

In order to ensure Yinglong's safe birth, he specially took a leaf from the Immortality Tree and refined it into an elixir.

From the moment Yinglong swallowed that pill, he was destined to be inseparable from the [Red Eye Cauldron].

Because the name of that pill is "Returning to Truth and Harmony, Nourishing Qi and Strengthening Tendons to Secure Pregnancy Pill (Immortal Phoenix Gall Version)".

In other words, apart from the leaves of the Immortality Tree.

The other ingredient in that elixir was the [Red Eye Cauldron], also known as the "Phoenix Gall".

"I understand your good intentions, so I've always been careful to keep myself out of the loop."

Without refuting Xuansu Shi's words, Yinglong silently took out the treasured Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Talisman from his bosom.

Compared to the initial version a few years ago, the current Voice Transmission Talisman truly deserves the title of "transmitting sound over Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission".

Looking at its exquisite octagonal and ten-sided structure alone, it's hard to believe that this is a talisman.

The outer shell is a rhomboid equilateral shape cast in bronze...

The interior is inscribed with dense Maxims that correspond to the Voice Transmission Talisman talisman...

Simply place the Voice Transmission Talisman inside, then gently rotate the outer shell of the amulet, and the internal current will flow according to a predetermined pattern.

In this process, external sound waves are converted into low-frequency electrical signals, then modulated into high-frequency carrier waves, and finally converted into fixed electromagnetic waves that are emitted.

At that time, the accompanying amulet will be able to receive the electromagnetic wave signals from here.

Then, by reversing the above process, the electromagnetic wave signal is converted back into a sound wave, ultimately enabling communication between the two amulets.

Compared to Li Boyang's ideal of wired telephones and wireless mobile phones.

At this stage, the Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Talisman is actually more like an encrypted radio station capable of one-to-one communication.

This can also be seen from the formation of this Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission Talisman.

In this new era ushered in by Li Boyang, among these ever-changing Mountain Folk from all over the country.

The culmination of Earth's past technological advancements—electronic components—was also beginning to take shape.
