Chapter 118: Ye Bai, the Sesame-Filled Glutinous Rice Ball, Has Been Exposed

At the very moment the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon died.

In the heart area of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon.

A terrifying suction force suddenly surged from the Blood Pool.

This suction force was frantically devouring the body of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon.

At the moment the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon died, it had finally transformed into a flood dragon.

A translucent black Flood Dragon Pearl appeared in its brain; this was the proof of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon's transformation from snake to flood dragon.

With this Flood Dragon Pearl, the combat power of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon would have at least more than doubled.

At the very least, it could have used the power of the Flood Dragon Pearl to summon wind and rain, and with the advantage of the terrain, it would have been impossible to lose.

Unfortunately, there are no "ifs."

At the time, the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon was terrified by the Dragon Suppression Stone and the Dragon Slaying Sword; had it been a moment later, once it had completely transformed into a flood dragon, it might have had a glimmer of survival.

Such is time! Such is fate!

The flesh, bones, crystal core, and even the newly formed Flood Dragon Pearl of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon were directly absorbed by the Blood Pool.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Slaying Sword radiated bursts of silvery-white sword Qi; it was stripping away the Dragon Soul of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon.

The soul of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon widened its eyes; the tugging sensation coming from its soul made the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon extremely terrified.

It felt the sharp sword Qi emitted by the Dragon Slaying Sword locking it firmly in place; no matter how it struggled, it was useless.

The Dragon Soul wailed as it was forcibly dragged into the Dragon Slaying Sword.

The Blood Pool and the Dragon Slaying Sword reached a cooperation: one absorbed the physical body of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon, while the other absorbed its Dragon Soul.

Having gathered one thousand Dragon Souls, the Dragon Slaying Sword completed its final transformation; it shimmered with four-colored light and radiated astonishing golden light.

The sword body appeared to be covered in dense dragon patterns, and the blade was sharp and entwined with countless strands of sword Qi.

The hilt was shaped like a ferocious dragon head, with two long dragon whiskers serving as the sword tassel.

If someone were to pick it up and flick the blade, they would hear a deafening dragon roar.

The crowd could only watch as the several-hundred-meter-long Black Water Giant Flood Dragon turned into white bones within a mere few minutes, and in the end, even the white bones disappeared.

Due to the dim light, they did not know exactly what had happened in the river.

The Blood Pool had already turned into dust and merged into the body of the Sunflower King.

"Guangming Nüshen Die, use Holy Light Illumination again."

A round of daylight rose, illuminating the entire surface of the river.

The originally thick, bloody water vanished in an instant, leaving only the Four-Armed Vajra looking terrified and unsettled.

Just a moment ago, a terrifying suction force had erupted from the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon, and even the Four-Armed Vajra had felt its blood and Qi surging, its heart pounding violently, and the blood Qi throughout its entire body nearly being plundered away.

"What on earth happened here? Why did the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon suddenly dissipate?"

President Zhang asked curiously.

Zhang Lingxue suddenly spoke with a straight face: "I once read in an ancient book that when a flood dragon fails its transformation, its body returns directly to the heavens and earth. I didn't know what it meant at the time, but now I do."

"What a pity, such a large sixth-rank Exotic Beast; its flesh and blood alone had immense value."

"And the dragon bones, Flood Dragon Pearl, dragon blood, and dragon crystal—all of it has disappeared."

President Wang felt his heart aching at this moment.

Perhaps if his Iron Armor Savage Bull had eaten the dragon meat and drunk the dragon blood, it could have broken through the fourth-rank bottleneck and entered the fifth rank.

That way, he too could have risen in status and become a Fifth-rank Pet Master.

"It seems this is fate."

"Being able to rescue all the students safely this time is already a blessing in misfortune; we shouldn't ask for too much else."

"Safety is a blessing."

"The Black Water Giant Flood Dragon was just an unexpected gain; if it's gone, it's gone. The most important thing is safety."

President Zhang was still satisfied with this; before coming, he had already prepared for the worst.

"It's fortunate that we managed to rescue the students before the Blood Sacrifice."

"Let's leave a few people to search the lair of the Resurrection Society to see if there are any key clues."

"Once I summarize everything, I will report this operation to the higher-ups."

President Zhang finally made the decision.

Upon hearing Zhang Lingxue's words, Ye Bai immediately smiled.

That teacher had found a good excuse.

She had even found the excuse of "returning to the heavens and earth" for him.

This way, as long as the Sunflower King came out of the river water quietly and pretended that nothing had happened, this matter would temporarily come to an end.

No one would be able to trace it back to him.

All that remained was the cleanup work.

"Ye Bai, you did very well. You are truly worthy of being my chief disciple; you have brought honor to your teacher."

"This is your martial uncle, the president of the Yandong Province Beast Tamer Union."

Zhang Lingxue introduced him to Ye Bai.

"Hello, Martial Nephew Ye, I am your martial uncle, Zhang Gangqiang."

"Thank you for being willing to act as bait this time."

"Only then were we able to wipe out the Resurrection Society's stronghold in one fell swoop. You have made the greatest contribution."

"When we return, the provincial Beast Tamer Union will reward you."

"Junior Sister, I have a lot of cleanup work to handle here, so you should take Ye Bai back first."

"At the same time, we must prevent Ye Bai from being targeted by people from the Resurrection Society."

"I'll leave this period of time to you."

Zhang Lingxue nodded.

Even without President Zhang saying so, she would have done the same.

It just so happened that the experiments on the Positive Electric Rabbit and the Negative Electric Rabbit had reached a very critical step, so it was perfect to keep Ye Bai in the Secret Realm to conduct experiments.

It seemed that this time, the Resurrection Society didn't have a single person capable of putting up a fight; as a Tier 5 Pet Beast Master, she was enough to protect Ye Bai.

Ye Bai watched quietly as the Sunflower King drilled out from the ground and climbed up along Ye Bai's pant leg.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Suppressing Stone returned to Ye Bai's person.

On the way back to the city, Zhang Lingxue looked at Ye Bai with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, making Ye Bai feel a bit uneasy.

"Ye Bai, you've had quite a harvest this time, haven't you?"

Listening to Zhang Lingxue's tone, she seemed to know something.

"It's indeed not bad; I obtained quite a few Tier 2 crystal cores, as well as the teeth of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon."

Zhang Lingxue gave a cold laugh: "Are you still not going to tell the truth even now?"

"Your Sunflower King sneakily burrowed into the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon; I saw it clearly."

"Don't forget, my Blood Gu Butterfly is capable of Gu Poison Manipulation, so the fact that your Sunflower King entered the body of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon is something I am perfectly clear about."

"What do you think I said that line about returning to heaven and earth for?"

"Wasn't it to provide cover for you?"

Showdown, I'm not pretending anymore.

At this moment, Ye Bai realized that he was the clown.

Every move he made had been seen through by Zhang Lingxue.

In fact, Zhang Lingxue was also bluffing Ye Bai.

Actually, the Blood Gu Butterfly had discovered the Sunflower King sitting on the Blood Gu Butterfly powder shed by the Myriad-Changing Silkworm and secretly entering the body of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon.

Then, the moment the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon disappeared, the Guangming Nüshen Die reported to her that it had discovered traces of the Sunflower King in the river water.

She had waited until the Sunflower King had completely left before letting the Guangming Nüshen Die release Holy Light.

Once the two events were connected, the disappearance of the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon was definitely related to Ye Bai.

As a result, with this slight bluff, Ye Bai, this sesame-filled glutinous rice dumpling, had spilled his filling.

"I am your teacher, after all; I've eaten more meals than you for several years."

"If I hadn't helped you provide cover, how could you have been so smooth?"

"My goodness, that was an entire Black Water Giant Flood Dragon; just the essence of its flesh and blood alone is a great tonic."

"And what about that newly formed Flood Dragon Pearl?"

"Rich, I'm rich."

Zhang Lingxue had the look of a money-grubber.

"Unfortunately, it all merged into the Blood Pool."

Ye Bai let out a long sigh.

"Blood Pool, what Blood Pool?"

Zhang Lingxue blinked her eyes, looking at Ye Bai with a suspicious expression.

Bad news.

Let it slip.

Exposed the Blood Pool.

Helpless, Ye Bai could only explain the ins and outs of the Blood Pool.

Zhang Lingxue's expression was strange: "You're saying you robbed the treasure of the Blood Saint Child lineage of the Resurrection Society?"

She rubbed her throbbing brow and wiped away invisible sweat.

"To be precise, it was picking it up; the one who robbed his Blood Pool was the Black Water Giant Flood Dragon."

Ye Bai gave a sheepish smile.

Zhang Lingxue glared at Ye Bai: "That's not much different."

"We might not be able to keep this Blood Pool."

"It should be handed over!"

Before Zhang Lingxue could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Ye Bai: "Teacher, this Blood Pool possesses the effect of purifying bloodlines."

"With this treasure, our experiments will be much more convenient."

"For example, your burrowing mouse research experiment, or the experiments with the Positive Electric Rabbit and the Negative Electric Rabbit."

"Moreover, what we robbed this time was the treasure of the Blood Saint Child lineage, not their holy object."

"The significance of this is different."

Ye Bai's words completely confused Zhang Lingxue.

Before Zhang Lingxue could sort it out, Ye Bai spoke again: "Most importantly, we aren't handing the Blood Pool over to their faces, but handing it over after the fact."

"Will the higher-ups think we are still hiding other things?"

"Will this make them think we are concealing things and guarding against them?"

Ye Bai's words also completely pointed this out.

At this moment, Zhang Lingxue's mind was a mess; she needed to sort out her thoughts: "I'd better think it over carefully before making a decision."

This was a hot potato.

If the people from the Resurrection Society found out later, they would definitely attack in a swarm.

By then, the safety of Ye Bai and herself would be in trouble.

You must know that for those who do research, the most important thing is stability; one must have a safe and stable environment.

"Teacher, rest assured."

"The waters of the Resurrection Society are not as deep as one might imagine."

"Blood Saint Son certainly wouldn't dare to tell the high-level members of the Resurrection Society about this news; he cannot afford to lose face like that."

"Teacher, do you know how many crooked melons and split dates were under Blood Saint Son's command this time?"

Hearing Ye Bai say this, Zhang Lingxue was stunned.

Crooked melons and split dates?

Who is he talking about?

"Don't you think that during this attack on the Resurrection Society, Blood Saint Son didn't put up any resistance at all?"

"Did he not even grease the soles of his feet and run the moment he saw you all?"

"Was the entire process not too easy?"

"Could the Resurrection Society really only have this level of strength? I don't think so, right?"

Hearing Ye Bai say this, Zhang Lingxue finally realized that it seemed this Blood Saint Son was only at the fourth rank, and his followers were generally around the third or fourth rank.

"Crooked melons and split dates" was actually quite an apt description.

If President Wang knew that fourth-rank Pet Beast Masters were being described by them as crooked melons and split dates, he would probably be so angry his nose would go crooked.

Seeking votes.
