Chapter 199: Take a Gamble, and the Villa Will Be by the Sea (14)

The source of the Ice Glass Dragon is gradually recovering; at this moment, the Hell Evil Dragon knows that its plan to occupy the Ice Glass Dragon's body and perform a soul possession has completely failed.

It no longer has the strength to contend with the Ice Glass Dragon, and if it does not want to die, it must find another way out.

Otherwise, it will be like a frog in warm water, constantly weakened by the Ice Glass Dragon, and perhaps in the end, it will even be devoured by the Ice Glass Dragon and converted into Dragon-type source energy to compensate for the Ice Glass Dragon's losses.

The appearance of the Demon Dragon Egg is more like a straw to clutch at, deeply attracting the Hell Evil Dragon.

Could this be a trap, just to lure it out from the body of the Ice Glass Dragon?

After all, this Demon Dragon Egg is like a candle in the wind; as long as it possesses it, it will transform from a Hell Evil Dragon into a Hell Demon Dragon.

With just a one-character difference, the significance is entirely different.

A sub-body of the Hell Evil Dragon reaches at most the Eighth Rank; if it encounters the main body, it will be manipulated by the main body and eventually merged into one with it.

After all, the purpose of the Hell Evil Dragon splitting off evil energy is to collect energy for its own advancement.

In other words, every mature sub-body is, in the eyes of the Hell Evil Dragon's main body, just a walking leek.

But a Hell Demon Dragon is a Ninth Rank Exotic Beast when mature, its strength is even more terrifying, and by possessing the soul of the Demon Dragon Egg, it can erase the mark left on its soul by the Hell Evil Dragon.

It can also be reborn as a Demon Dragon cub.

Every strand of evil energy the Hell Evil Dragon's main body splits off is an independent sub-body; they all have their own thoughts and will develop in the direction most favorable to themselves.

Remaining in the body of the Ice Glass Dragon means nothing but death.

But rushing out at least offers a chance to survive.

This is a naked open conspiracy, but the Hell Evil Dragon has no choice but to step into it.

Even being enslaved by humans is better than serving as a sub-body for the Hell Evil Dragon, living the life of a large leek with no guarantee of tomorrow.

Finally, the evil energy of the Hell Evil Dragon makes up its mind.

Damn it, just do it! Take a gamble, and the villa will be by the sea.

Therefore, the evil energy within the Ice Glass Dragon surged into the Demon Dragon Egg with lightning speed.

The original Demon Dragon Egg was in a state between life and death.

As the Hell Evil Dragon's evil energy surged into the Demon Dragon Egg.

At first, only slight, almost imperceptible sounds could be heard, as if something was slowly wriggling inside the eggshell. These subtle movements gradually gathered into a force that could not be ignored, signaling that the Demon Dragon Egg was reviving.

Black light erupted from the Demon Dragon Egg; these rays shone through the cracks in the eggshell, and the Demon Dragon Egg began to beat like a heart.

This symbolized that the Demon Dragon Egg had completely revived.

The Hell Evil Dragon easily devoured the weak soul of the Demon Dragon Egg; it had already used the soul mark of the Demon Dragon Egg to eliminate the brand left in its soul by the main body.

"Done."

Ye Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This surgery put him under immense pressure, but fortunately, it was all a success.

Jiang Dashi knew that the key to this surgery lay in the separation of the Ice Glass Dragon and the Glass Dragon Egg, and as it turned out, Ye Bai found a new path, completing the separation surgery through the special ability of the Sunflower Emperor.

This process could be called a classic for the ages.

As for the repair surgery for the Ice Glass Dragon, it was just a time-consuming procedure, and in Jiang Dashi's eyes, it did not have a high level of difficulty.

The Demon Dragon Egg was sealed by the Paper Puppet using a Barrier; how to deal with this Demon Dragon Egg would be discussed later.

"The surgery was very successful."

This sentence from Ye Bai made Long Zhu immediately breathe a sigh of relief.

With his originally tense spirit relaxed, Long Zhu immediately sat down on the sofa.

He fell into a deep sleep, and deafening snoring sounds issued from Long Zhu's nasal cavity.

"Let him rest first; if he waits until he sees the bill, he probably won't be able to sleep even if he wants to."

"Of course, we also accept barter; having reached Long Zhu's position, one must not underestimate them."

"When they go to explore Secret Realms, they also collect many treasures."

"Their favors alone can bring us great help."

"Do not fear that they cannot afford to pay; let's go, let's go discuss the relevant matters of the Yan Country Competition Young Qilin Cup."

Jiang Dashi and Ye Bai walked into the tea room.

The Paper Puppet released countless Barriers to shield the conversation between Jiang Dashi and Ye Bai.

"This Yan Country Competition Young Qilin Cup is extraordinary."

"The finals of this year's Yan Country Competition Young Qilin Cup are being held jointly with the finals of the Phoenix Chick Cup."

Ye Bai!!!! His eyes stared at Jiang Dashi; Ye Bai felt his brain could no longer turn.

The Yan Country Competition Young Qilin Cup and the Phoenix Chick Cup held jointly? This isn't a joke, is it?

"Do you think I am joking?"

"But I tell you clearly, I am not joking, because this matter is true."

"The preliminary rounds of the Young Qilin Cup will test the refining of various potions and the treatment of Pet Beasts."

"And the finals will automatically assign you a contestant, allowing you to enter a Secret Realm together."

"You need to collect a large amount of supplies in the Secret Realm and help the Phoenix Chick Cup contestants treat their Pet Beasts."

Ye Bai listened to Jiang Dashi's words and felt it was quite magical.

"Are you wondering why these two competitions were separate in previous years, and why they merged this year?"

"Because the Beast Tide has been erupting more and more frequently this year."

"The high-level officials of the Yan Country intend to establish specialized medical teams."

"Every Breeder in the Yan Country must go to the Yan Country border for rotation duty. That is why the high-level officials of the Yan Country proposed that this time, the Young Qilin Cup and the Phoenix Chick Cup be combined to act as a pilot for reform."

"The top ten of this year's Young Qilin Cup and Phoenix Chick Cup will be allowed special admission into Imperial Capital University."

"Compared to the Imperial Capital University Entrance Exam, this is the shortcut to entering Imperial Capital University."

Jiang Dashi dropped a bombshell directly.

"But I can tell you, the strength of the contestants in this year's Phoenix Chick Cup is not weak."

"As for anything else, I cannot tell you too much; after all, there are confidentiality clauses."

Ye Bai was now somewhat conflicted; since he could already be specially admitted, should he still participate in the Imperial Capital University Entrance Exam?

After all, every high school student has a sentiment for the Imperial Capital University Entrance Exam.

Becoming the top scorer of the Imperial Capital University Entrance Exam is a super-duper, "ancestral graves smoking" kind of event.

"Ye Bai, there is one thing I must tell you."

"Sentiment is sentiment, but only a fool wouldn't take a shortcut."

"The tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

"At this time, the most important thing for you is to be low-key, low-key, and damn well low-key."

"Otherwise, the two major organizations, the Resurrection Society and the Gospel Society, are not to be trifled with."

"Do not think that just because you are hiding in Imperial Capital University, they wouldn't dare to make a move."

Jiang Dashi specifically exhorted Ye Bai a few times.

"Do you know why I accepted the surgery for Long Zhu, even though I knew the difficulty was immense?"

"Because I want Long Zhu to owe us a favor."

"In case something really happens, I can have him take action."

"Every one of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation is not simple."

Jiang Dashi said meaningfully.

Long Zhu was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a cold, chilly aura surging straight toward his crown chakra.

He opened his eyes abruptly and discovered the Ice Glass Dragon was guarding by his side.

The wool blanket draped over Long Zhu's body had been frozen into ice by the cold aura emitted by the Ice Glass Dragon.

Seeing that Long Zhu had woken up, the Ice Glass Dragon looked at Long Zhu with its deep, dark blue eyes and wagged its largest tail to indicate that it had recovered.

"You're awake."

Countless paper figures overlapped together, forming the appearance of the Paper Figure Puppet.

She was like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting; whether lightly or heavily adorned, she was always appropriate.

Her face was like fine white jade, emitting a faint white glow.

The well-tailored cheongsam further outlined the Paper Figure Puppet's good figure.

Embroidered on her cheongsam were patterns of bright red peonies, and her waterfall-like long black hair was held in place by a white jade hairpin.

The Paper Figure Puppet brought over a thick stack of bills and delivered them into Long Zhu's hands: "Lord Long Zhu, since your Ice Glass Dragon has recovered, let us calculate the costs of this treatment."

A flash of sharp light flickered in the Paper Figure Puppet's eyes; the hunting moment had arrived!

The moment he saw this thick stack of bills appear, Long Zhu couldn't help but hold his breath; an indescribable tension and unease coiled in his heart.

His hands trembled as he took the bills and flipped to the last page; the number marked on it made Long Zhu's heart nearly stop, he gasped a cold breath, and his brow furrowed into a 'chuan' shape.

Long Zhu's calloused fingertips lightly slid over that shocking string of numbers.

His eyes widened instantly, his pupils dilated sharply, his complexion turned pale in an instant, and his lips trembled slightly; he wanted to say something but was speechless for a moment.

Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped from his forehead, his gaze began to wander, his breathing became rapid and irregular, and his chest felt as if a giant boulder were pressing down on it, making it hard to breathe.

He tried to lick his dry lips, rub his temples, or take deep breaths to calm the panic in his heart, but he failed.

Before Long Zhu came, he had been told that the cost of Jiang Lao taking action once was extremely high, but he hadn't expected it to be this expensive.

Would he have to eat steamed buns for thirty years plus chaff and wild vegetables for thirty years?

The Ice Glass Dragon curiously glanced at that number; its pupils contracted violently, and its mood was like a raging sea.

This was an astronomical price that even selling itself wouldn't be enough to pay off.

The Ice Glass Dragon received a massive shock; it rolled its eyes and collapsed heavily onto the ground.

"Of course, you can also accept installments, or you can use barter."

The Paper Figure Puppet's voice was like the sound of nature as it fell into Long Zhu's ears.

He looked at the Paper Figure Puppet gratefully.

This counted as relatively good news; at least his old savings should be able to remain stable.

"We will evaluate them according to market prices."

Long Zhu released all the good items from his Pet Beast Space.

The Paper Figure Puppet was like an appraisal expert, carefully observing every treasure that passed through her hands.

Long Zhu was indeed wealthy.

However, he still had a whole family to support, so some things could not be sold.

Therefore, when it was calculated to the end, he still owed Heaven Gate a mountain of debt.

"How about this, I have discussed it with Jiang Dashi, and we will waive a portion of your treatment costs."

"The remaining debt will be exchanged for three favors."
