Chapter 66

"If others from my clan see this, you will be held accountable," Nan Lingsha said calmly.

"????" Zhu Ming was utterly confused.

What does this dragon, which he had saved with his future, have to do with the Nan family?

"The Long Clan originated from the ancient Sacred Tree Spirit, and after merging with the Forest Dragon, the Lin Long Clan was born. Only a few of the Lin Long Clan inherited the bloodline of the ancient Sacred Tree Spirit, almost all of them are giant dragons. But if it can grow, this Sacred Green Dragon of the Sacred Tree will become the leader of the Lin Long Clan. Unfortunately, unfortunately..." Nan Lingsha said.

The Sacred Green Dragon of the Sacred Tree, just the name sounds extraordinary!

No wonder the little guy's blood turned green after the blood change, and its necrotic skin transformed into the skin of a spirit tree. If it weren't for the obvious features of a living being like its eyes, mouth, and nose, Zhu Ming would have thought the little guy was turning into a solid wood dragon!

He was indeed a genius dragon tamer, and he had identified a treasure again!

But why did Nan Lingsha say "unfortunately" twice?

"What's unfortunate?" Zhu Ming asked, his joy hard to suppress.

"I observe that its aura is extremely weak. It must have suffered a severe injury during a critical stage of its birth and growth. Even if it reaches its peak in the future, it will be difficult for it to display the true might of a Sacred Green Dragon of the Sacred Tree," Nan Lingsha said.

"This..." Zhu Ming smiled bitterly.

It is a crippled dragon, and it will accompany him for life.

In fact, Mr. Wu had also told him this, which is why he had scolded him for using the spirit pact so casually.

Fortunately, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Even as a crippled dragon, if it is raised, it will far surpass other Lin Long dragons. Perhaps there will be some miraculous encounter in the future that can make up for the trauma Little Qingzhuo suffered in its youth.

Little Qingzhuo didn't pay much attention to their conversation. It used its not very agile claws to lift the nanmu juice, trying to lick the remaining drops clean. As a result, its small, thin body lost balance and rolled backward, almost knocking over all the bamboo ink bottles...

Zhu Ming didn't have time to stop it. Just as the little guy was about to knock over all the precious colored inks, the various fragrant inks in the bamboo bottles seemed to come to life, floating in the air.

The green ink, cinnabar ink, purple ink, sky-blue ink, and rosy cloud ink, under the light of the lamp, were as soft as silk, swirling around the graceful and beautiful woman. Although the concentrated ink was spilled, not a drop fell, and Nan Lingsha stood there, like a flying celestial painter, exquisitely beautiful.

Little Qingzhuo knocked over empty bamboo bottles, which collided with a pleasant sound.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Zhu Ming averted his gaze, unsure whether he was apologizing for staring or for the little dragon knocking over her ink. He quickly straightened and set the scattered bamboo bottles upright.

Nan Lingsha looked at the bamboo bottles and then transformed the ink into threads, which fell back into the bottles. Her eyes, which had become particularly bright, gradually returned to their calm luster.

"I still need to practice painting here," Nan Lingsha said.

"It's late and the air is cold. Please take care of yourself, Miss," Zhu Ming said politely, then picked up the still clinging Little Qingzhuo and walked toward the steps.

"Um-hum." Nan Lingsha responded coolly, but her gaze was no longer on the long painting in front of her.

Zhu Ming walked to the steps and was about to step down when he suddenly remembered something and turned around. "By the way, Yunzi, where did you get this nanmu..."

"I am Nan Lingsha."

"Excuse me, excuse me." Zhu Ming mentally slapped himself.

To be honest, Zhu Ming thought Nan Lingsha was still in character. After all, seeing her at night, her demeanor was calm with a touch of coldness. Their previous encounter made Zhu Ming feel that Nan Lingsha was as unpredictable as the rain in June...

But now she had put everything aside, and even though she appeared gentle and calm, she was fundamentally proud and cold.

She was no longer like Li Yunzi, and the feeling she gave Zhu Ming was just her.

Not wanting to ask about the nanmu again, Zhu Ming quickly left with the well-fed Little Qingzhuo.

"Different divine and mortal powers, it must be a different person," Zhu Ming muttered to himself as he left the bamboo grove.

To be honest, Zhu Ming still felt that he had met Li Yunzi. He remembered that when he first met Li Yunzi, some of her words made him very puzzled, thinking she had some kind of personality disorder...

It seems he was overthinking it.

Li Yunzi's divine and mortal powers and the abilities Nan Lingsha just displayed were two completely different things. One person basically cannot have two divine and mortal attributes, just as a divine and mortal cannot be a dragon tamer. If they have the potential for both, they must give up one.

But then again, recalling the details, Zhu Ming felt that Nan Lingsha and Li Yunzi still had many differences in demeanor. Nan Lingsha's tone was gentle but maintained her own boundaries, while Li Yunzi's voice was cold and indifferent.

But then again, the Nan Lingsha at night and the Nan Lingsha during the day seemed like two different people... perhaps this is the unpredictable nature of the rain in June.

She had promised to act as if they had just met and fallen in love, but now, without others around, she was like this, not even telling him where to get the nanmu juice.

A few days ago, Zhu Ming had asked Fang Nian to help him find nanmu juice. There was good flower nectar, but nanmu was scarce in the entire Ancestor Dragon City. So, he was delighted to see Nan Lingsha using nanmu to make green ink.

Forget it, he would ask next time.

It was indeed very late, and Nan Lingsha also had to maintain her reputation.

...

...

Maintaining the habit of getting up early in the morning, one can be full of vigor.

A white ice field, misty with frost, but it did not cool Zhu Ming's enthusiasm for continuing to strive for his own brilliance.

He made a slight plan.

Bai Qi's adulthood is a critical point. If everything goes well, Bai Qi's strength at adulthood will at least reach the Dragon Lord level. Lu Xiao, that arrogant and domineering person, would be nothing more than a speck of dust in front of a Dragon Lord.

Just look at how he treated Li Ying; Li Ying must be a Dragon Lord level powerhouse.

The book says that the Ice Dawn White Dragon takes about a year to grow from the growth stage to adulthood. Now that his spiritual power has increased, this time can be shortened to about eight months. If he can find more corresponding treasures of the earth and heaven and feed it higher-quality nectar, it can take just six months.

After six months, he will have nothing to fear.

Next is the growth of Big Black Tooth.

With its powerful Silver Green Dragon Armor, Big Black Tooth can match a lower-level Dragon General. But Zhu Ming still hopes it can advance to the Dragon General level. With the Dragon Armor's enhancement, it can easily take on Lu Xiao's Gilded Fire Dragon in a one-on-one fight.

Soul beads and dragon beads are excellent aids. He should have enough money to buy them. Of course, if there are better materials, he can collect more to strengthen the Dragon Armor, making Big Black Tooth even more formidable.

As for the Sacred Green Dragon of the Sacred Tree, its potential is enormous. If it hadn't fallen off a cliff, it would likely not be inferior to the Ice Dawn White Dragon after adulthood.

He must find nanmu as soon as possible and feed it more. Even as a crippled dragon, it will be enough to crush those inferior dragons!
