Chapter 1219 - 1215

Only after thoroughly scanning the condition of this tooth will he not be caught off guard when the Host asks about it later.

The Little Princess Puppet knows that arguments are arguments, disputes are disputes, but the work at hand must not be delayed.

Naturally, he wouldn’t want to be outdone by this newcomer puppet.

Soon enough, a strange string of data appeared in Ginsengfruit’s database, data that bore no comparison to what he had previously stored.

In other words, the ’owner’ of this tooth had never been discovered by humans in this book world.

The only certainty is that this monster comes from the ocean.

He had always known that humans barely explored the sea. Now that monsters from the ocean had appeared, there was no reference data for them.

Ginsengfruit had no choice but to contact the Dragon Spirit again, as it was his only source of knowledge about marine life.

At present, Dragon Spirit and Xuan Chu had become quite familiar at the General Association, to the point where the higher-ups were keen to break protocol and recruit them.

For others, this would be a tremendous opportunity.

But Dragon Spirit and Xuan Chu, besides repeatedly expressing their gratitude, were steadfast in their refusal, citing sect prohibitions.

To quash such notions from the General Association, Dragon Spirit even deliberately revealed the prohibition marks Yun Ran forcibly put on him.

He alarmingly warned them that the prohibitions on them were formidable, and if any treachery against their sect arose,

the lightest consequence would be the loss of all one’s power, and in the worst case, their life.

Only this managed to curb the ambitious desires of the keen higher-ups.

Returning to their quarters, Xuan Chu curiously eyed the prohibition marks on Dragon Spirit.

With a gossipy expression, he asked, "So Yun Ran really got the better of you before, huh?"

Dragon Spirit: ...

He had done all this for whom? If not for worrying that revealing the Heavenly Dao Restriction on Xuan Chu himself might draw attention, would he have exposed his own scars?

But admitting it was out of the question. He, Dragon Spirit, with a backbone of steel, how could he ever concede!

"Of course not. I’m a being who’s lived for thousands of years. Against a mere little girl, would I go to such lengths?

It was all just for Yun Ran’s show, as I sensed back then that Yun Ran had an extraordinary background, with surely many treasures.

As you know, I am born of nature, and to achieve Dragon Transformation, I need many resources. Since someone brought them to my doorstep, how could I refuse?

The fact proves my judgment was spot on, as Yun Ran indeed provided me with a wealth of resources, enabling me to successfully transform into the Dragon Spirit and even devour other Mountain Guardian Dragon Spirits!"

This tale was spun so well, even Dragon Spirit nearly believed it himself, as if his close call with Yun Ran had never occurred, but instead, it was his own wise maneuvering.

Xuan Chu just watched Dragon Spirit boasting. Luckily, as one of those in the know, he wasn’t deceived by Dragon Spirit’s antics.

Yet he was no longer the blunt simpleton he was when first leaving Heavenly Dao Village.

The now sly Xuan Chu leisurely said, "Oh, really? Seems like Yun Ran was also played by you. The next time I see Yun Ran, I’ll surely have a good laugh at her expense!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

The eyes that should have been human instantly switched to attack mode with slit pupils.

That jerk, knowing this was just idle chatter, but wanting to flaunt it in front of Yun Ran, isn’t that looking to get him killed!

Given Yun Ran’s pettiness, finding out about his boastful words would certainly lead to sinister questioning and then ruthless revenge!

Already, his inner notebook was teeming with Yun Ran’s ’unforgivable’ transgressions.

But he really didn’t dare confront Yun Ran, given his current aspirations to become a disciple at Qingfeng Temple.

If this ambition to become a disciple was thwarted, he’d be so angry he’d cough up blood.

Just the thought of Yun Ran, upon learning of his boasting, surreptitiously adding fuel to the fire in front of his mentor (Junior Master) made Dragon Spirit’s skin crawl with discomfort.

Immediately, he shot a fierce glare at Xuan Chu, "A real man shouldn’t gossip behind someone’s back, and aren’t you from Heavenly Dao Village? How can you be so gossipy!"

Xuan Chu, having done nothing yet, was suddenly branded as gossipy, and immediately protested.

The two were about to brawl, no, more like spar, when.

A water curtain mirror slowly emerged, wavering in the air.

On the opposite side of the water curtain mirror was Ginsengfruit’s smiling face.

Dragon Spirit and Xuan Chu quickly ceased their fighting stance, straightening up and becoming serious, as if their previous childish antics hadn’t happened at all.

"Ginsengfruit, what’s the matter?"

Dragon Spirit was the first to speak, unusually warm in tone, making those unaware believe Dragon Spirit was a genuine good samaritan.

Ginsengfruit got to the point, stepping aside to reveal the flower-wrapped tooth.

"Great Dragon King, please take a look at this. Have you ever seen this tooth?"

Dragon Spirit: ...

When did he become an appraiser?

But since Ginsengfruit had asked, it’s likely this tooth had some connection with him. Otherwise, Ginsengfruit wouldn’t have sought him out.

"Sure, let me take a look!"

Dragon Spirit took a closer look at the tooth, feeling a headache coming on. There were countless ocean monsters with this kind of tooth.

Just from this single broken tooth, Dragon Spirit found it challenging to distinguish.

It was at this moment that the Little Princess Puppet suddenly appeared, holding a piece of paper on which it had drawn the large mouth of the monster it and its master had seen previously.

If Yun Ran were here, she would surely be amazed to find that the monster’s mouth on the drawing was identical to the one they had seen before.

It could be said it was much like a photograph.

The key was, the Little Princess Puppet had depicted several images from different angles, from the inside to the outside, and even from the side.

"This is the monster’s mouth, and this tooth was broken when the master used lightning!"

Originally seated, Dragon Spirit suddenly stood up in alarm.

He didn’t have time to wonder how a mere puppet could draw so accurately.

At that moment, his attention was wholly captured by the drawing of the monster’s large mouth.

"Where did you encounter this monster?"

Even through the water curtain mirror, Ginsengfruit detected a tremor in Dragon Spirit’s voice.

It was as if he was fearful of something.

The Little Princess Puppet was a bit puzzled, but it remembered that its master had previously instructed it that these matters could be disclosed to Dragon Spirit and the others.
