Chapter 144

Seeing Seeing Ziyun could feel that the further-corroding Ruin Dragon Vein within her, which had previously been suppressed, had vanished. At the same Finish Finish Time, the injuries sustained from her initial attempt to break through to the Sovereign Realm had also eased significantly. Although she had not fully recovered, it was no longer a situation where she could only suppress the damage without any hope of healing.

She did not press for details on what that life-force energy actually was; after all, everyone had their own secrets. The result was that, thanks to Lu Li, she felt a long-lost sense of lightness.

For Seeing Seeing Ziyun, this was already enough.

"This reward of yours really exceeded my expectations." Noticing the faint, lingering fragrance on his face, Lu Li couldn't help but let his expression turn strange.

"Don't overthink it, it was just a return gift." Being stared at by Lu Li, Seeing Seeing Ziyun felt a bit guilty. Why had she been so impulsive just now?

Hearing Seeing Seeing Ziyun's words, the smile on Lu Li's face deepened.

"This is a secret between us; don't go telling anyone, especially Hearing Zi Yan, Hearing Hearing Ziyao, or Nishang!" Seeing his reaction, Seeing Seeing Ziyun couldn't hold back and feigned a fierce tone.

"Understood!" Noticing Seeing Seeing Ziyun's increasingly unsightly expression, Lu Li decided to quit while he was ahead. After all, Seeing Seeing Ziyun was an Undying-realm Dragon Lord; if not for the highly unusual circumstances, he likely wouldn't have been able to tease an Undying-realm bigwig.

As expected, everyone hates the Prime Minister, yet everyone wants to be the Prime Minister. The legacy of Wei Wu must never end in his hands!

Some things still need to be taken slowly; one cannot be impatient. Deep down, Lu Li thought to himself.

"Because of you this Finish Finish Time, the problem that has plagued our Dragon Valley for so long may have found a turning point." Taking a deep breath, Seeing Seeing Ziyun regained the original poise of a Dragon Lord: "Once we leave the Dragon Transformation Pool, I need to summon the other Dragon Lords to discuss the matter of the Ruin Dragon Vein."

"If possible, I hope you can give me a wisp of the Ruin Dragon Vein; otherwise, I fear the other Dragon Lords will find it hard to believe what I say." The Dragon Transformation Pool was the core of Dragon Valley; if Seeing Seeing Ziyun could not produce evidence, it would be difficult for the other Dragon Lords to trust her.

"It won't affect you anymore?" A wisp of the Ruin Dragon Vein appeared in Lu Li's hand. He currently held enough of it that even if he gave a portion to Seeing Seeing Ziyun, he would still have enough to craft Magic Cards.

Besides, wasn't there the authority to rewrite and reorganize? If push came to shove, he could just use that authority to make adjustments.

"I'm not as weak as you think." Seeing Seeing Ziyun couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Li, and as she took the Ruin Dragon Vein, she spoke with a coquettish huff.

Yet, deep down, a trace of warmth flowed through her.

To this, Lu Li simply shrugged.

"Then let's head out." After putting away the Ruin Dragon Vein, Seeing Seeing Ziyun spoke again: "For the Finish Finish Time being, do not mention the matter of the Ruin Dragon Vein to Hearing Zi Yan and Hearing Hearing Ziyao. After we return to Tianfu, I hope you can look after the two sisters, Hearing Zi Yan and Hearing Hearing Ziyao, a bit more."

"I will." Lu Li nodded again, then followed behind Seeing Seeing Ziyun to leave the Dragon Transformation Pool.

"Mother, Lu Li, you're out?" In the Sacred Dragon Hall, seeing Hearing Zi Yan and Lu Li return one after the other, the Dragon Maiden sisters hurried over to them and looked them up and down: "It's been so long, did Lu encounter any problems inside the Dragon Pool?"

Although historical records stated that the Dragon Transformation Pool could affect non-Dragon Valley tribesmen, that was from before the rebellion of Long Ni, and it was now a very distant past.

Especially since the two had stayed in the Dragon Transformation Pool for five days, which far exceeded the Dragon Maiden sisters' understanding, they could only assume something had gone wrong.

"What kind of problem could there be? Do you still not trust your mother?" Facing her two daughters' gazes, Seeing Seeing Ziyun suddenly felt a bit guilty, especially with Lu Li standing to the side: "You're both so old now, yet still so rash."

To avoid having her daughters notice anything amiss, Seeing Seeing Ziyun was the first to Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change the subject.

"Uh," scolded by Seeing Seeing Ziyun, a flash of embarrassment crossed the faces of Hearing Zi Yan and Hearing Hearing Ziyao. Their behavior just now had indeed been a bit rash.

"Alright, your business in Dragon Valley is finished this Finish Finish Time. If there's nothing else, go and get some rest." Gently tapping the two girls' foreheads, Seeing Seeing Ziyun spoke again: "After all, five days have already passed."

"Then we'll go and rest first." Hearing Zi Yan and Hearing Hearing Ziyao did not notice Seeing Seeing Ziyun's abnormality, but they still urged: "Mother, you should also make sure to rest."

"Rest assured, I am very well now." Seeing Seeing Ziyun's voice became much gentler: "After I see you off, I still have matters to discuss with the other Dragon Lords."

Having learned of the curse of the Ruin Dragon Vein, Seeing Seeing Ziyun did not want to waste a single moment; after all, the longer the delay, the greater the impact on Dragon Valley.

"Oh, okay!" The Dragon Maiden sisters also saw the urgency on Seeing Seeing Ziyun's face and didn't say anything more, pulling Lu Li along as they set off to leave.

"These two girls." Seeing this scene, Seeing Seeing Ziyun couldn't help but shake her head. Not knowing what she thought of, a flush of red gradually rose upon her increasingly rosy face.

A few seconds later, Seeing Seeing Ziyun regained her composure, contacted the other Dragon Lords, and set off toward the outside of the Sacred Dragon Hall.

"Seeing Seeing Ziyun, why are you in such a rush to summon us?" As one of the nine Dragon Lords, the Dragon Lord of the Night Dragon Hall, Ye Fan, asked.

At this moment, all nine Dragon Lords of Dragon Valley were gathered in the Dragon Sovereign Hall; even the Dragon Lords who were in seclusion had been summoned by Seeing Seeing Ziyun without exception.

The Dragon Sovereign Hall was the domain of the past Sovereigns of Dragon Valley, a place generally accessible only to Sovereigns.

However, since so much Finish Finish Time had passed since the rebellion of Long Ni, Dragon Valley had not produced another Sovereign, and the Dragon Sovereign Hall had remained vacant.

Over Finish Finish Time, the Dragon Sovereign Hall had become the place where the nine Dragon Lords discussed important matters; it was usually only used for extremely critical issues.

Hearing Ye Fan's question, the other Dragon Lords' gazes fell upon Seeing Seeing Ziyun, their eyes filled with curiosity as well.

279. A family should naturally be together!

"Everyone, I fear there is a problem with the Dragon Transformation Pool!" Taking a deep breath, Seeing Seeing Ziyun said something that left all the Dragon Lords present in shock.

"You say there is a problem with the Dragon Transformation Pool?" Ye Fan frowned: "Seeing Seeing Ziyun, you cannot speak such things lightly."

"Indeed, Seeing Seeing Ziyun," the Dragon Lord of the Ancient Dragon Hall, Gu Gu Nanqing, also spoke up: "The Dragon Transformation Pool is one of the most important resources in our Dragon Valley. If something has truly gone wrong, it will affect our future development."

Although the other Dragon Lords did not speak, they stared at Seeing Seeing Ziyun, waiting for her explanation.

After the rebellion of Long Ni, Dragon Valley had suffered a heavy blow to its vitality and had yet to recover. If the Dragon Transformation Pool, used to nurture their tribesmen, also had issues, that would be troublesome.

"I naturally know this, but there is indeed a problem with the Dragon Transformation Pool, otherwise I would not have summoned you all here." A bitter smile rose on the corner of Seeing Seeing Ziyun's mouth, and immediately after, a wisp of the Ruin Dragon Vein appeared in her hand.

Almost the instant the Ruin Dragon Vein appeared, the expressions of Ye Fan, Gu Gu Nanqing, and the other Dragon Lords couldn't help but Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change. They actually felt a sense of palpitations from this wisp of the Ruin Dragon Vein!

One had to know that they were all Undying-realm Magic Card masters; this situation was absolutely unreasonable!

"What is this, Seeing Seeing Ziyun?" Exchanging glances, Ye Fan said in a deep voice: "And what does it have to do with the Dragon Transformation Pool?"

"Do you remember that the conspiracy of Long Ni was broken by a Magic Card master from an ancient kingdom, and that Hearing Hearing Ziyao was also saved by him?" Withdrawing the Ruin Dragon Vein, Seeing Seeing Ziyun asked slowly.

"Are you talking about the student recently taken in by the Night Queen, Lu Li?" Gu Gu Nanqing interjected: "Is he related to this matter?"

The Dragon Transformation Pool was Dragon Valley's most important resource; opening it to an outsider was not something Seeing Seeing Ziyun could decide on her own, and the other nine Dragon Lords were well aware of this.

"That's right!" Recalling Lu Li and the experience in the Dragon Transformation Pool, a faint, imperceptible blush appeared on Seeing Seeing Ziyun's face: "Five days ago, Lu Li entered the Dragon Transformation Pool, and that wisp of the Ruin Dragon Vein just now was discovered by Lu Li in the pool."

"Ruin Dragon Vein?" Hearing Seeing Seeing Ziyun's explanation, Ye Fan couldn't help but frown, and then his expression gradually became solemn.

Besides Ye Fan, the expressions of the other Dragon Lords, including Gu Gu Nanqing, also gradually became serious. Clearly, they had all grasped the key point.

"You've realized it?" Noticing their expressions, Seeing Seeing Ziyun spoke again: "The person who initiated the rebellion of Long Ni clearly left this hand behind from the very beginning."

"The other party clearly considered that after the rebellion, we would likely no longer open the Dragon Transformation Pool to outsiders. So, unless we were able to discover this, the Ruin Dragon Vein would continue to exist within the pool."

"But for our Dragon Valley tribe, the Ruin Dragon Vein possesses extremely strong concealment. Even we, the Dragon Lords, did not notice that the Dragon Transformation Pool had been polluted by it."

"And as for how dangerous the Ruin Dragon Vein is to our tribe, you have just experienced it personally." Speaking to this point, Seeing Seeing Ziyun couldn't help but cough.

Although she had recovered quite a bit with Lu Li's help, the aftereffects of her initial attempt to break through to the Sovereign Realm had followed her for so many years that they still had some impact.

"Have the aftereffects from your attempt to reach the Sovereign Realm still not healed?" Hearing Seeing Seeing Ziyun's cough, Gu Gu Nanqing reached out to pat her on the back, a look of worry appearing on her face.

Among the nine Dragon Lords, Seeing Seeing Ziyun was the youngest, but because she was an original Magic Card master, her talent was the best among them. She was also the candidate with the most hope of breaking through to the Sovereign Realm and shattering the curse that no Sovereign had been born in Dragon Valley since the rebellion of Long Ni.

Unfortunately, in the end, Seeing Seeing Ziyun had failed, and she had been left with many aftereffects.

"It's fine, it's already much better." Seeing Seeing Ziyun shook her head: "The most important thing now is to prioritize handling the matter of the Dragon Transformation Pool."

"No wonder no Sovereign has been born in our Dragon Valley since the rebellion of Long Ni; it turns out this was the reason." Ye Fan's eyes flickered: "Although we resolved the rebellion of Long Ni back then, looking at it from another perspective, the rebel's plan was indeed successful."

"Yes, the other party clearly had a grip on everything in Dragon Valley. After all, the Ruin Dragon Vein only affects the tribesmen of Dragon Valley, and the Dragon Transformation Pool is almost never opened to outsiders." Seeing Seeing Ziyun nodded: "This Finish Finish Time, if not for Lu Li, we would likely still be kept in the dark, and it would have harmed our future generations."

"This Lu Li can truly be considered a lucky star for our Dragon Valley." Gu Gu Nanqing sighed: "Not only did he break the conspiracy of Long Ni, but he even found the danger hidden in the Dragon Transformation Pool for us."

"Seeing Seeing Ziyun, why don't you have Hearing Zi Yan and Hearing Hearing Ziyao put in some effort and have Lu Li stay in Dragon Valley?"

"Speaking of which, that kid Brother Brother Tianming also mentioned to me that the two girls, Hearing Zi Yan and Hearing Hearing Ziyao, seem to have a very good relationship with Lu Li." Ye Fan also interjected.

"That... let's talk about it later. For now, let's prioritize handling the Dragon Transformation Pool." Hearing their instigation, Seeing Seeing Ziyun recalled the experience in the Dragon Transformation Pool again. Her face couldn't help but burn, and she hurriedly changed the subject.

Aren't we supposed to be discussing the Dragon Transformation Pool and the Ruin Dragon Vein? How did this get to my family affairs? As expected, even if one is in the Undying realm, one will still gossip if there is gossip to be had.

"I have to say, agreeing to open the Dragon Transformation Pool to Lu Li this Finish Finish Time was indeed the right choice." Not noticing Seeing Seeing Ziyun's abnormality, Ye Fan spoke again: "First he broke the scheme of Long Ni, and now he has even found the hidden danger in the Dragon Transformation Pool for us. I'm already thinking about how to properly thank this Magic Card master from the ancient kingdom."

Dragon Valley respects the strong, especially since Lu Li might have solved a major problem affecting the future development of Dragon Valley this Finish Finish Time; naturally, they could not be stingy with him.

"How about... opening the Dragon Burial Court to Lu Li?" Guided by some impulse, Seeing Seeing Ziyun spoke, and the next moment, she was met with the gazes of everyone present.

"Lu Li, how did it feel to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool? It's the first Finish Finish Time I've seen someone able to persist for so long inside." Pulling Lu Li to a garden in the Sacred Dragon Hall, a trace of amazement flashed in Hearing Zi Yan's eyes: "We only lasted one day in the Dragon Transformation Pool before we had to leave."

"That's right!" Hearing Hearing Ziyao was also full of amazement: "I heard Mother mention that she only lasted three days back then."

"Is that so?" Seeing the two girls' expressions, Lu Li couldn't help but rub his nose. However, he wasn't too surprised; after all, Seeing Seeing Ziyun had mentioned this point while they were in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

"Right, give me your hands." Although Seeing Seeing Ziyun had mentioned not to tell the two girls about the Ruin Dragon Vein for the Finish Finish Time being, since he knew the harm the Ruin Dragon Vein posed to the Dragon Valley tribesmen, Lu Li would not let the Ruin Dragon Vein in their bodies run rampant.

A family, after all, should naturally be together!

Of course, this was also because although the Ruin Dragon Vein Lu Li held was enough to craft the Destruction Dragon Gandora, there was also the Destruction Dragon Gandora X Destruction Dragon Gandora Light Flash; naturally, the more Ruin Dragon Veins he collected, the better!

"What do you want to do?" The Dragon Maiden sisters exchanged glances and simultaneously held out their hands to Lu Li. Feeling the warmth within, both girls couldn't help but feel a trace of shyness.

But then, they felt a massive surge of life-force energy coming from their hands, constantly wandering through their bodies.

In the dark, the two girls could feel that as the life-force energy wandered through their bodies, they felt as if they had been purified and had become much lighter, which made them unable to help but let out soft, comfortable moans.

Even someone as strong as Seeing Seeing Ziyun, an Undying-realm Dragon Lord, couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan when the Ruin Dragon Vein in her body was eradicated, let alone the Dragon Maiden sisters.

However, compared to Seeing Seeing Ziyun, the Ruin Dragon Vein in the two Dragon Maidens was not as difficult to deal with. It was quickly eradicated by Lu Li, though the quantity and quality of the Ruin Dragon Vein obtained were naturally not as good.

"What was that just now? I feel like my whole person has become light and airy, so comfortable." With the Ruin Dragon Vein eradicated, the bloodlines of the Dragon Maiden sisters were released. The two girls felt as if their entire bodies had been purified; they felt warm and incredibly comfortable.

But this also made them feel as if they were drunk, swaying as if they were about to fall.
