Chapter 80: A Name Even Dogs Would Spit Out

I also want to eat dragon meat!

I want to eat the dragon's thigh!

I want to eat the dragon's foreleg!

I want to eat the dragon's heart!

Give it to me quickly.

""

For a moment, the ten Taotie cubs howled.

Upon hearing these crude words, Lin Yang felt his head swell for a moment.

These Taotie cubs really dare to eat anything.

Before time-traveling, he had learned about the dragon's nine offspring; this fifth one is precisely the Taotie.

By seniority, the Ancestral Dragon is indeed the old ancestor of the Taotie's father dragon.

Really a bastard.

Even the ancestors wanted to eat it.

Of course, this was just Lin Yang's joking speculation.

Such a divine beast as the Ancestral Dragon possesses world-shaking power, can control natural forces like lightning and wind and rain, has tremendous combat strength, and can command myriad beasts.

It can also shuttle between various planar spaces, move swiftly, ignore power attacks, formation bindings, and treasure subduals, making it extremely elusive.

He decided to seize it while it was young; if managed properly, it would surely become a great weapon for his sieges and pool conquests.

"Ancestral Dragon, from now on I am your master; do you accept?"

Lin Yang swore a master-subordinate relationship to the Ancestral Dragon.

The Ancestral Dragon lifted its head, its gaze fixed on Lin Yang; Lin Yang likewise stared at it, though his heart was practically leaping into his throat.

This guy is no saint.

If it refuses to acknowledge me as its master, then if it rebels, it will be very difficult to deal with.

So he must be cautious and careful.

However, what Lin Yang never expected was that after the Ancestral Dragon merely glanced at him,

"Ah..."

A soft groan sounded, which counted as a reply to his words; then it lay again on his arm and fell asleep.

Lin Yang: "..."

It was a false alarm; I had thought it would fiercely resist, but who knew it would be so obedient and well-behaved.

This also saved him some trouble.

"However."

He grew increasingly curious: what purpose does the Ancestral Dragon have in staying by his side?

Perhaps only later, gradually, will the truth be fully revealed.

"Little one, since you've agreed to acknowledge me as your master, from now on you must obey everything I say, understood?"

"Ah..."

The Ancestral Dragon responded with another sound, but this time it didn't even lift its head; it seemed to have completely relaxed its guard.

Lin Yang smiled satisfiedly, stroking the Ancestral Dragon's scales, and said, "Alright, I'll give you a name."

After all.

The puppet's name is Xiaohei.

The Taotie cubs are named Number One through Ten.

And this Ancestral Dragon naturally also needs a name.

Upon hearing that a name would be given, the Ancestral Dragon also lifted its head; such a high-level divine beast, even as a cub, possesses wisdom, and it looked expectantly at Lin Yang.

But immediately.

Lin Yang suddenly reached out and grabbed the Ancestral Dragon's tail.

The Ancestral Dragon startled, a flash of fierceness crossing its eyes.

What's the point of pulling its tail?

It was a bit unwilling to accept that.

And Lin Yang, having grabbed its tail, aimed straight at its rear.

"So it's a female Ancestral Dragon."

After determining the Ancestral Dragon's sex,

Lin Yang then said, "From now on, you shall be called Zuxiaohua."

The Ancestral Dragon's body trembled; it seemed stunned by such an ugly name, to the point that it made no reaction at all.

Seeing the Ancestral Dragon make no sound, Lin Yang took it as tacit approval, and feeling pleased with himself, he thought his naming skill was awesome.

He also decided.

In the future, individual rewards like Xiaohei and Xiaohua will be given names prefixed with 'Xiao'.

Like the Taotie cubs, they will be named One, Two, Three, Four, and so on.

"Alright, Zuxiaohua, can you shrink a bit? You're so big, lying on my arm makes me tired."

"Ah..."

Zuxiaohua made a little sound, then shrank its body, hiding invisibly on Lin Yang's arm, just as before lying still.

Only then did Lin Yang nod in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the Hundred Flowers Fairy naturally took in every move of Lin Yang and that little dragon.

Just like that…… in such a lively manner, I took in a dragon?

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

Perhaps.

Even if others told her this story until they were blue in the face, she wouldn't believe it.

She stared foolishly at Lin Yang; the person before her truly dealt a huge blow to her worldview.

Moreover, the other party had also saved her.

This favor.

She……

————————

After dealing with Zu Xiaohua's matter, Lin Yang then turned to look at the Hundred Flowers Fairy beside him.

Unbeknownst to him, in the subtle process, he had already become the object of the Hundred Flowers Fairy's admiration.

However, Lin Yang was more concerned that the formation had been shattered by Zu Xiaohua, and that he and the Hundred Flowers Fairy were rescued.

Does this count as him completing the mission?

Could he receive the system's reward?

Just then.

A system notification sounded in his ear.

【Dingdong!】

【Congratulations, host, for successfully completing the mission to rescue the Hundred Flowers Fairy; the system rewards the host with an Imperial Body Bone.】

【It has been stored in the backpack.】

Lin Yang went to check, and indeed found in the system backpack an Imperial Body Bone exuding imperial might and overwhelming dominance.

「Good stuff. 」

Just a glance at that Imperial Body Bone reveals how extraordinary this bone is.

However, according to expectation, he breaking the formation did not have his bones shattered, and he would not need this Imperial Body Bone.

Then who would use this Imperial Body Bone?

Ye Yatou?

Soon, he rejected that idea again.

Ye Yatou had been cultivating peacefully at Heavenly Dao Peak; what kind of bone-breaking incident could she encounter? I was overthinking.

Li Yatou?

Suddenly.

Lin Yang's eyes lit up as a bad idea flashed through his mind.

These days I haven't gotten Li Yatou's return; could it be that the Grand Priest is targeting Li Yatou?

Then.

What comes next is, will the Grand Priest break Li Yatou's bones?

「Seek death! 」

A cold glint suddenly flashed in Lin Yang's eyes; he has always been protective of his disciples—whoever dares to break his disciple's bones, he will kill that person.

Immediately.

He bade farewell to the Hundred Flowers Fairy, preparing to leave the secret realm to check the situation.

Upon hearing this, the Hundred Flowers Fairy also asked Lin Yang to take her along.

After all, she has been imprisoned here for a hundred years; naturally she also wants to go out and see the situation.

Moreover, she is also worried about the Grand Priest's blood sacrifice plot; she can no longer stay here, she must go out to expose the Grand Priest's yin plot.

The four great sects and three great clans are all her descendants, with half of her blood flowing in their veins.

She naturally cannot stand by and watch these descendants be sacrificed in a blood ritual.

Thus.

The two then turned into a stream of light and left the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm together.

————————

Within the Hundred Flowers Valley, the Hundred Flowers Grand Assembly had already begun.

The so-called Hundred Flowers Grand Assembly is simply that the ancestral land blooms a single purple spirit flower; then the myriad qi within the ancestral land becomes tenfold richer, also heralding the descent of blessings.

At this time, disciples of the four great sects and three great clans within the Hundred Flowers Valley who possess myriad qi will gather at the ancestral land, receive some blessings, and help them break through their cultivation and defy fate.

However, this Hundred Flowers Grand Assembly is somewhat special.

Because on the ancestral land's east, south, west, north, northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest—eight directions—stands a purple formation flag, extremely conspicuous, yet no one knows its purpose.
