Chapter 1031: It Should Be Called Paying to Attach Oneself

~8 min read 1,401 words

"You said you'd take me to find a female dragon," Nai Ge Li Si said, reluctantly.

"First, take us to find your boss. If you can solve the stuck-egg problem, I'll marry the strongest female dragon from our clan to you," Elafate said solemnly.

Nai Ge Li Si shook his head desperately: "No, no, I don't want a strong female dragon. I just want to meet beautiful ones. Marry me to one? Dream on. We have no grudge between us; why are you trying to harm me? Goodbye."

Seeing Nai Ge Li Si turn and run, Elafate was stunned and quickly blocked him, asking gently: "Let's talk calmly, don't rush. What do you want? Don't be in a hurry, what do you want?"

"Didn't I say it? I want to meet beautiful female dragons. You originally said you'd let me go out and play, but now you want to force a strong female dragon on me? If you want to harm me, just smash me to death instead," Nai Ge Li Si complained, looking utterly unwilling.

Elafate simply couldn't understand how something everyone in the clan envied had turned into an act of harm in Nai Ge Li Si's mouth.

Elafate, at a loss for what to do, finally said: "Fine, fine, I'll take you to meet beautiful female dragons. I'll introduce you to every female dragon in the Crystal Dragon clan. Crystal Dragons are the most beautiful dragon species in the entire Void."

"That's more like it. You're the Crystal Dragon clan? Long heard of you, long heard of you. Let's go, I'll take you to see our boss. But I must tell him first; otherwise, if you suddenly appear, he'll be scared," Nai Ge Li Si said, bluffing.

"Alright, alright, go quickly and return quickly. We'll wait here respectfully," Elafate said politely and courteously.

Nai Ge Li Si flew another few hundred kilometers back with a huffing and puffing sound to report. Originally, he had wanted to fly just a few dozen kilometers as a pretense, since Seeing Ange and Anthony, projected onto him, already knew everything, but Anthony vetoed that.

"Are you stupid? They can see you, so they must have the ability to observe distant things. They might be watching you right now."

He flew back leisurely, found Silver Coin, said a few words, and then Silver Coin began to rally the troops. A team was quickly assembled again, exactly the same as when they arrived: Nai Ge Li Si pulled the carriage at the front, Anthony and Du Luo Ken guarded the carriage on the left and right, and Seeing Ange landed at the very back, all flying together toward the location of the Transparent Dragons.

Upon this arrival, Elafate and the other two Transparent Dragons had long since revealed their forms, stretching their necks to watch the procession. However, Anthony noticed that while they were ostensibly watching Nai Ge Li Si and Silver Coin ahead, a large portion of their attention was focused behind the carriage, where only Seeing Ange stood.

Anthony immediately spoke in the Soul Network to warn: "They are paying close attention to my lord. They must have seen the scene where my lord destroyed the world-ending attack. Even so, they are willing to meet. It seems the stuck-egg problem is very important to them. Let's quote a higher price later."

Seeing Ange had directly destroyed a world-ending attack. A powerhouse of such a level must have strength far surpassing that of the Transparent Dragons. Facing a powerhouse of such a level, they did not keep their distance but instead met them with gritted teeth; therefore, what they sought must be of great importance.

In fact, the moment the other side used bloodline resonance to call Nai Ge Li Si, Anthony had guessed that the other side was likely those Transparent Dragons, since only the bloodline of the Dragon race could achieve bloodline resonance.

After confirming the other side's identity, Anthony immediately threw out a big bait—the stuck egg. This was a major issue concerning the propagation of the Dragon race. The Giant Dragon clan of the Main World had this problem; he didn't know if the dragons here had it too.

Even if they didn't, it didn't matter. Anthony had prepared another bait, such as the Dragon God Transformation. He could always attract these Transparent Dragons to take the hook.

He didn't expect that with the first bait, the Transparent Dragons would bite eagerly, without even doubting the bait's authenticity, because the example of Nai Ge Li Si was too convincing.

Originally, they thought Nai Ge Li Si's body was too small and assumed he was a Lesser Dragon, but upon closer inspection, he was indeed a Giant Dragon. Although the color was a bit off, he was undeniably a Giant Dragon.

They had originally prepared to ask the reason, but before they could, Nai Ge Li Si voluntarily revealed that he had survived after being stuck in an egg. That made sense; it must have been due to malnutrition during the stuck-egg incident that he was so small.

Whether human or Giant Dragon, one would firmly believe the 'truth' one's own mind conjured up. At this moment, they absolutely did not doubt whether Seeing Ange's side truly possessed the ability to solve the stuck-egg problem.

Silver Coin clasped his hands behind his back and made a gesture indicating he understood. If Elafate knew that merely glancing cautiously twice had caused a shrewd merchant to desperately raise the price, he might burst into tears.

The process will be omitted. Silver Coin's skill in swindling was too high; he constantly seized the other party's psychological shifts, repeatedly breaking through their psychological defenses, and finally completed the transaction at a bottom line they could not comprehend.

"Pfft... They gave you the stuck dragon egg? The egg belongs to this Elafate's family? Didn't they want to save the dragon egg? Why give it to you?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, spitting blood.

He couldn't understand. Wasn't the plan to save the dragon egg? Was the method of 'saving' to give the dragon egg away to someone else?

Silver Coin smiled: "How can you call it giving? They still have to pay money. It should be called paying to attach oneself. Handing it over to us is better than watching the child die stuck in the egg, right? Don't make that expression; weren't you also 'born' this way?"

Silver Coin emphasized the word 'born'. Only then did Nai Ge Li Si remember that when he previously introduced himself to Elafate, he had indeed said he was also saved from a stuck egg and was therefore following Silver Coin. But that was a character background designed for him by Anthony; he had forgotten it immediately after saying it.

With his example, Elafate painfully gave the dragon egg to Silver Coin and even added some miscellaneous items, hoping only that Silver Coin would treat his family's child well.

Giving the child away is better than letting it die stuck in the egg, but this made Nai Ge Li Si feel a bit reluctant: "Isn't this wrong? Won't the young dragon grow up without parents?"

"If you feel it's wrong, then use the young dragon to trade for something else with them, like information on Lord North Crown? With a young dragon in hand, our bargaining power will be greater," Silver Coin said indifferently:

"Now we must first go with them to their nest, cure the dragon egg, and then take some other things. I don't know what good things they have there; we'll see when we get there."

After they finished their instructions, Elafate was already impatiently urging them to depart. To save time, he was even willing to let everyone sit on his back.

After everyone was seated on his back, and even the carriage was fixed onto his spine, with a flap of his wings, Elafate carried everyone flying into the depths of the Void. One day later, they arrived before a deep abyss composed of several huge 'Shanfeng'.

Anthony said somewhat disappointedly in his soul: "It's not a formation, not the place attacking the Undying City."

Just as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly saw a flash of light. The Transparent Dragons passed through a layer of barrier and entered a world of blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and herds of cattle and sheep.
