In the palace of the Xiangyun Kingdom.
The sky was just beginning to lighten. The military advisor rubbed his slightly bulging belly and looked at Shen Baozhu with satisfaction. "Little girl, you really know how to enjoy life. These dishes are all quite good, and there's even someone to help warm them up."
Last night's revelry had gone on too late. Shen Baozhu had simply fallen asleep on General Mu's stomach and only woke up groggily just now, rubbing her eyes as she got up.
She looked at the military advisor blankly. "What someone to help warm the dishes?"
The Dragon King, who had watched all night, kindly explained. [It's the little phoenix.]
The Dragon King: [This military advisor really loves to eat. After the little cutie fell asleep, he stuffed himself until he was full. Afraid of wasting the food, he went out to practice martial arts. When he got hungry again, he came back all sweaty and continued to eat.]
The Dragon King: [When the little phoenix saw him eating cold meat, it kindly spat fire to help warm the dishes.]
The Dragon King: [Then it was the treasure - hunting rat digging out food, the military advisor getting full, running out to practice martial arts, the little phoenix warming the dishes, and the military advisor coming back to continue eating.]
Shen Baozhu looked at the subtitles, as if opening the door to a new world. "So when you're full, you can practice martial arts and then come back to eat! Baozhu has learned!"
Lin Yu: [So after the Dragon King said so much, Baozhu only saw this sentence.]
The Dragon King: [But these two do have good appetites. They've almost finished all the things the fool bought.]
The military advisor looked at the little phoenix standing aside and smiled. "It's this divine beast that helped. It spat fire to warm the dishes."
"I haven't been back to the capital for two years in a blink of an eye. Thank you, Baozhu. Thanks to you, I can taste the dishes from the capital."
Hearing the military advisor's thanks, Shen Baozhu blushed a little. "You're welcome. I brought these especially for you and grandfather. By the way, Baozhu has gifts for you."
They had talked too late last night, and Shen Baozhu had forgotten to give out the gifts. Now that she was awake, it was just the right time.
Shen Baozhu took out a milky - white pill from the small pouch she carried with her. "This is a healing pill. It can treat the old wounds on you and grandfather. Divide the pill into two halves and dissolve them in water. Grandfather Military Advisor and grandfather can each have half."
The military advisor took the pill. He glanced at General Mu, who was still sleeping, and stuffed the pill into his bosom. He coaxed her, "We'll do it after your grandfather wakes up. Grandfather Military Advisor will first take you to the royal treasury of the Xiangyun Kingdom for a tour. We can take whatever we like!"
Shen Baozhu looked around the hall but didn't see her mother and elder brothers. "Grandfather Military Advisor, where are mother, eldest brother, and second brother? Why can't Baozhu see them?"
"Your mother took your eldest and second brothers to try to get information from Xiangyun Rou. She left you in my care." The military advisor got up from the ground. He had sweated a lot from practicing martial arts last night and was afraid of dirtying the little girl, so he didn't dare to carry Shen Baozhu. Instead, he let her hold onto his sleeve.
Although the Xiangyun Kingdom was small, its royal treasury was full of treasures and there were many strange places. The military advisor took Shen Baozhu to check them out one by one.
Seeing that the military advisor had successfully taken Shen Baozhu into the royal treasury, the Dragon King felt relieved. He just happened to take this opportunity to retrieve the pearls.
The Dragon King transformed into his true form and let out a long howl towards the sky.
The White Dragon and the Black Dragon, who were busy slaying demons, heard the call and both stopped their actions at the same time.
The Black Dragon said reluctantly, "Calling us over must mean no good. I don't know why we have to kill these demons all day long. We've almost killed them all."
The White Dragon moved and quickly rushed towards the Dragon Palace. It wanted to seize the opportunity and rush in front of the Dragon King to show off.
Seeing the White Dragon disappear, the Black Dragon didn't bother to complain anymore and flew over as well.
When the two dragons arrived at the Dragon Palace, they saw countless clams floating in mid - air. The Dragon King was lying on the biggest clam. When he saw them coming, he pointed at the clam under him with his claw. "Open it and retrieve the pearls."
The clams in the Dragon Palace all had spiritual cultivation, and their shells were extremely difficult to open. Retrieving the pearls inside was even more difficult. The Black Dragon immediately thought that the Dragon King was making things difficult for them and couldn't hide his dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare to say it directly.
The White Dragon also looked at the clam shells in distress. These clams had grown in the Dragon Palace and had high spiritual cultivation. With his current cultivation, it would be very difficult for him to retrieve the pearls inside.
Seeing the two dragons standing there blankly, the Dragon King urged, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and retrieve the pearls."
"Your Highness the Dragon King, the clam shells are very hard. My cultivation is low. I can only forcefully break open the clam shells and can't retrieve the pearls inside intact." The White Dragon carefully told the truth, and its tail unconsciously straightened. In case the Dragon King got angry, it would run away on its own.
The Dragon King didn't expect this to be the reason. He was too lazy to pry open the clam shells one by one to retrieve the pearls himself, but he had promised the little cutie to give her pearls...
Just when the White Dragon was on tenterhooks, the Dragon King suddenly asked, "If I give you a magical tool, can you retrieve the pearls?"
The next moment, a magical tool shining with white light landed in the White Dragon's claw.
Looking at this magical tool, the White Dragon understood what the Dragon King meant and looked at him. "Your Highness, after the pearls in the clams are retrieved, this magical tool..."
"It's yours. Consider it your reward." The Dragon King had countless magical tools and didn't care about such a thing.
The Black Dragon saw that the White Dragon had obtained a magical tool in just a few words and suddenly had an idea in his mind. But the White Dragon was quicker and spoke before him. "Your Majesty, are you in a hurry to get the pearls? I have a few friends. If they are helped by magical tools, they can also retrieve the pearls."
The Dragon King wasn't short of magical tools. He only cared about when he could give the pearls to the little cutie. He immediately threw out several magical tools. "Call all your friends over to help me retrieve the pearls. After the pearls are retrieved, you don't need to return these magical tools."
The White Dragon was just waiting for this sentence. He leaped up, bent his soft dragon body, and his voice became even shriller. "Okay, I'll call my friends over right away."
Afraid that the Black Dragon would snatch the magical tools, the White Dragon called his friends over in a flash.
The magical tools the Dragon King casually threw out numbered six in total. The White Dragon managed to gather exactly six friends and took all the magical tools, leaving none for the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon looked at the White Dragon's friends impatiently. There were not only dragons and fish but also birds, foxes, and even snakes.
The White Dragon had gathered everything that flew in the sky, swam in the water, and crawled on the ground.
The Black Dragon still wanted to fight for one for himself. He endured his impatience. "My cultivation is also not enough. One of these magical tools should be left for me, right?"
Hearing the voice, the White Dragon quickly distributed the magical tools to his friends and then looked at the Black Dragon in surprise. "Ah? Really? I'm sorry. The magical tools have already been distributed. I can't take them back."
The Black Dragon suddenly felt that the heavens were unfair. How could such a black - hearted dragon be white!
Originally, the Dragon King was very thrifty and thought that once something was in his hands, it was his. But looking at the animals below working diligently to retrieve the pearls for him, the Dragon King thought seriously for a while. It had been several days since he promised to give the little cutie pearls. During this period, Lin Yu had prepared scar - removing ointment, a medicine to improve Qiuqiu's intelligence, and even skin - care products for the fool. The Qingyun True Man had also given two things, a protective talisman and a healing pill.
The Dragon King, who had a strong competitive spirit, felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it. He waved his dragon claw and rewarded a lot of things.
"As long as you work hard, I won't treat you badly!"
The White Dragon's friends received the rewards and were all full of energy.
