Chapter 16

Now that they knew the patterns of the lazy fish demons, and with the rapid increase in strength of the young crocodile dragon, it was only a matter of time before they could clear out the lazy fish demons.

First, they scattered them, then launched a surprise attack, and after breaking them down one by one, the intelligent fish became a panicked, foolish herd. The rest was a simple chase and hunt, as the lazy blue fish demons were naturally no match for the crocodile dragon.

After the students were assigned their roles, Zhu Minglang received the grain of golden sand.

To reward the young crocodile dragon, Zhu Minglang specially went to Fengdi Town, planning to buy some fresh, high-quality large meat silkworms from the mulberry farmer.

He also planned to buy some fresh flower nectar, as it seemed that Xiaobaiqi’s ice cocoon would not last many more days before it hatched.

“Hey, why did it take you more than half a month to crawl out of the lake?” the peach seller with the wheat-colored skin said at the bridge.

Zhu Minglang looked at her, his smile gradually brightening. “You still owe me a basket of peaches, girl.”

The peach seller was taken aback, noticing that Zhu Minglang indeed had a college badge on his chest.

“You really are a student at the Dragon Taming Academy. Where’s your dragon?” the peach seller asked.

“None of your business. I want the freshest, biggest, and juiciest peaches,” Zhu Minglang’s mood suddenly brightened, and the small grievance from before vanished!

“Alright, alright, you win. My family has plenty of peaches. After I sell today’s peaches, you can come to my house and get them,” the peach seller said with a bit of enthusiasm.

“Fine. By the way, do you know where I can buy silkworms and where to get good flower nectar?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“My family sells them.” the peach seller said.

Zhu Minglang looked at her in confusion. “Your family sells peaches, don’t they?”

“Can’t farmers be multi-talented? My parents grow and sell peaches, my third brother raises silkworms, and my seventh uncle collects nectar. There’s no agricultural product in Fengdi Town that my family doesn’t sell!” the peach seller said confidently.

“Alright, alright, your family sells everything. If the quality is good, I’ll do business with you in the future,” Zhu Minglang said.

“We don’t give credit,” the peach seller said.

Zhu Minglang was puzzled. He didn’t look like someone who would default on a payment. Annoyed, he said, “I’ll pay in cash!”

After agreeing on the price with the peach seller, Zhu Minglang finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, he had secured the initial food supply for the two babies!

“Little brother, you seem to be short of money, bargaining over such a small amount. Look at that riverboat. Inside, there are not only beautiful women but also handsome men. If you really need money, you might want to try there. After all, you’re quite good-looking and would attract lonely widows. Don’t end up penniless and as ragged as when we first met,” the peach seller gave Zhu Minglang a kind little reminder.

“????” Zhu Minglang clutched his aching chest.

Defeated again!

It was so frustrating!

“Nian Nian, did you save any honey peaches for me?” a gentle and beautiful voice came from behind.

Just hearing the voice made one feel a tingling sensation, as if one could instantly imagine all the beauty of the person speaking.

“Yes, yes.” The peach seller’s voice suddenly became sweet, and she immediately took out a bag of carefully packaged large honey peaches, her face full of smiles. “Sister, you’re so beautiful. Even I, a girl, feel my heart race when I see you.”

Zhu Minglang’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to believe that the sharp-tongued girl had turned into a sweetie in just a second!

“The sister actually prefers sweet and soft girls,” the woman’s voice was dignified, but the words sounded particularly alluring.

Moreover, the voice was somewhat familiar.

Unable to resist his curiosity, Zhu Minglang turned to look at the woman speaking.

This glance made Zhu Minglang feel as if he had been electrocuted.

He had thought the voice belonged to a beautiful woman, but her appearance was even more stunning. Zhu Minglang was momentarily speechless, staring at the woman for a long time!

The woman also noticed Zhu Minglang’s gaze, but she only smiled faintly, a purely polite gesture, and then continued chatting with the peach seller, Nian Nian.

“Did you come to visit me on purpose?” Zhu Minglang tried to sound casual, though her beauty had indeed made his heart race.

Li Yunzi.

The woman standing in front of him was clearly Li Yunzi.

Her starry, dazzling eyes and her full, peach-like lips—Zhu Minglang had spent the entire night with her, how could he not recognize her? Even though her attire today was quite different, like a well-bred lady, her outstanding and unique beauty was too memorable.

“Do we know each other?” The woman’s gaze returned to Zhu Minglang’s face, her tone very calm.

“Um...” Zhu Minglang was embarrassed by the question.

Was Li Yunzi trying to keep the previous events a secret and act as if they were strangers?

“Little brother, your flirting skills are worse than a toad’s,” Nian Nian effortlessly switched between her sharp tongue and sweetness, then smiled at the woman. “Sister Nan Lingsha, your charm is so strong that even a mentally unstable little brother can’t help but be attracted to you.”

“Alright, alright, I’m going back to the academy.” The woman smiled, holding the bag of honey peaches and walking towards Baiyan Bridge, heading in the direction of the academy.

Zhu Minglang watched Li Yunzi’s back, his face full of confusion.

“What did you just call her?” Zhu Minglang turned to ask Nian Nian.

“Nan Lingsha. Are you really a student at the Dragon Taming Academy? You haven’t heard of Sister Nan Lingsha?” Nian Nian asked skeptically.

“I studied on my own, so I’m not very familiar with the academy. Her name is Nan Lingsha, and she’s from the Li Chuan Dragon Taming Academy?” Zhu Minglang said.

“You, don’t have any illusions about Sister Nan Lingsha. She’s the daughter of the Nan family, as noble as a phoenix. You should think more about how to support yourself. Don’t think that entering the Dragon Taming Academy means you’ll rise to the top. Many students end up destitute and insane because their young spirits fail to transform into dragons,” Nian Nian said.

“The Nan family? Could I have mistaken her?” Zhu Minglang was now thoroughly confused.

Although the woman’s demeanor and the softness in her eyes were somewhat different, her appearance was clearly Li Yunzi’s!

Nan Lingsha...

Nan Lingsha, this name seemed familiar, as if he had heard it mentioned by the Li family head.

Sisters?

But how could sisters look so alike?

Zhu Minglang shook his head. Perhaps it was just a case of daydreaming, and in the alluring sunlight, he had mistaken her for someone else.
