Chapter 298: And even stuck out its tongue to lick

The Black Night Crow, having woken up, felt as if her threshold had been shattered; she didn't care about anything anymore. She asked bluntly, "So, you are the Dragon Clan Patriarch, the God of Knowledge, the God of the Undead, the Goddess of Beauty, the God of Planting, and a Dimensional Beast?"

Every time she mentioned a name, she made a corresponding gesture of invitation.

Lu Se nodded incessantly.

The Black Night Crow didn't know how to react. Finally, she waved her hand irritably: "Whatever. Let's assume everything you said is true. So what now? How are you going to deal with me? Are you going to throw me down?"

Lu Se chuckled: "It's precisely because we were afraid you'd be killed by someone that we brought you along. Now there's no way to put you down, so you can only come with us to Longdao."

"You're not killing me?" the Black Night Crow asked in a low, probing voice.

Lu Se shook his head: "Why would I kill you? You haven't offended us."

"But... but I accidentally bombarded you with cannons, and I don't have the money to pay for it," the Black Night Crow said weakly.

Lu Se chuckled: "Lord Nai Ge was just joking with you. But you really are too poor. Your entire net worth is only enough to fire four shots, and yet you still came to take revenge on others? How did you end up like this? How can you be this poor even as a pirate?"

The Black Night Crow said with a sheepish smile: "Uh, the main thing is, we don't rob people."

"Don't rob people? Aren't you pirates? How do you make money if you don't rob people?" Lu Se was stunned. Pirates who don't rob people?

"We earn passage fees and escort fees. As long as the cargo is worth one-thirtieth of the passage fee, we won't rob them. If they can pay one-tenth, we can even escort them to their destination," the Black Night Crow said.

Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but turn his head: "Hey, that's a good idea. If there are many ships coming and going, you could earn even more, and it's a steady stream of income. So why are you still so poor?"

The Black Night Crow said with a sheepish smile: "Few ships, few people, we can't compete with others. The Canglong Pirate Group snatched all our business."

"Then why don't you change professions?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"How could it be so easy to change professions? We people don't know how to do anything; we only know how to handle sails and steer ships. What profession could we switch to?" the Black Night Crow sighed.

"Go ashore and farm. At least you won't starve to death. It's not like your current situation, which is both dangerous and poor," Nai Ge Li Si said.

The Black Night Crow glanced at him, as if shocked that he could say something so ignorant:

"There's no tax collection for being a pirate, no need for corvée labor, and we won't be forced to buy or sell by noble landlords. Farming on shore—not to mention anything else—just those landlord masters could easily bankrupt us. Otherwise, how do you think we people ended up at sea?"

Nai Ge Li Si blinked and exchanged glances with Lu Se. These were clearly things they couldn't understand. Nai Ge Li Si knew what land annexation was, but he couldn't understand exactly how it was done or what happened to the farmers whose land was annexed.

Not to mention Lu Se; the population of the Abyss of Rest had not yet reached the point of land annexation.

Seeing their expressions, the Black Night Crow immediately realized something and muttered: "So you are landlord masters too."

"No, not at all, don't talk nonsense. I am clearly a City Lord master," Lu Se shouted.

Nai Ge Li Si hurriedly skipped this topic and continued to ask: "Then what is the situation at your home now? I heard you say earlier that your lair was raided by the Canglong Pirate Group?"

"Yes, that's right. There were no casualties among the people, but the food was all snatched by them, and they burned our fields. There definitely won't be enough food to eat this year, so we came out to buy grain. I didn't expect grain prices to be so expensive lately, and there's no supply for the price. Now I know why they wanted to snatch grain. So I was furious and thought of bombarding them."

Nai Ge Li Si asked in confusion: "Aren't you afraid they will go back and take revenge on you? They already know the location of your lair and can go to take revenge at any time."

The Black Night Crow said with a bitter smile: "Do you think we still need to care about revenge when our food has been snatched and we can't buy any? We don't even know how many of us will survive next year."

The expressions of Lu Se, Lei Dian, and Nai Ge Li Si all couldn't help but turn solemn. Could it be that this female pirate with an expression of having never seen the world is carrying such a heavy future?

How desperate must the situation be to say something like "we don't even know how many of us will survive next year"? Is it that she doesn't want to save them? That's not it; she came out to buy grain.

But given the current situation, buying grain is really not an easy task. Didn't you see that even Andongni had to find Ang here? Andongni is the Archbishop of the Eastern Diocese and the Acting Pope of the Light Church. Even he can't buy grain. Pirates really have no other way besides robbing.

"How many people are in your home?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"A thousand or so."

"Pfft, so few? Later, let Ang leak a little to you."

"Leak?"

"Uh, that is, sell. Sell you a little. One thousand people, is two hundred tons enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough. We can't even eat that much in a year. We can also catch fish. You... can you really sell me two hundred tons of grain?"

"Hey, that's why I said leak a little. Our business deals start at one hundred thousand tons," Nai Ge Li Si said, patting his waist and boasting.

The Black Night Crow didn't think Nai Ge Li Si was lying, especially after coming to Vortex Island and seeing the behemoths all over the island. She felt even less that Nai Ge Li Si would lie to her because there was no need.

Someone who can be friends with dragons wouldn't bother lying to her for two hundred tons of grain.

Finding a clean cave to put her down, Bu Lusike shrank rapidly and quickly transformed into a human with his nostrils pointing to the sky. He said to the Black Night Crow somewhat reluctantly: "Originally, I shouldn't have brought you here. I hope you can keep this secret and not go out and talk nonsense."

"Ah? Can't I talk about it? Can't I boast about the fact that I've been to Longdao? Wouldn't that mean I came here for nothing?" the Black Night Crow said, her eyes wide with reluctance.

"Uh, fine, fine, whatever you say. When someone asks, I'll just say you've been here, okay? By the way, what's your name?" Bu Lusike immediately realized that this human didn't know she had come to Vortex Island and thought it was Longdao.

If she went out boasting all day that she had been to Longdao, it would mislead many people. Letting her boast would actually be a good thing.

"Black Night Crow, Lord Bu Lusike, my name is Black Night Crow, the darkest female pirate on the ocean. My lord, you must remember me." The Black Night Crow's eyes were glowing. The Dragon Clan Patriarch was such a good person. Heavens, he was even willing to give her official certification.

Not to mention anything else, just the experience of having been to Longdao spreading out would immediately make her pirate group famous, and elite pirates from all over would come to join her.

"Fine, don't run around. I'll come to pick you up when we leave." As he spoke, he hooked his finger toward the sea, and a bluefin tuna, a full person's height, flew up and landed in the cave.

The tuna wasn't dead yet and was fresh. It was flicking its tail and jumping around in the cave. Bu Lusike continued: "There's nothing good to entertain you with. Just eat fish for these few days. Don't run around. The island is full of dragons. If you're not careful and get stepped on, you'll be flattened."

The Black Night Crow glanced at the cliff outside the cave entrance. At the bottom of the cliff was the pitch-black ocean surface. If she fell from a place like this, she wouldn't even be able to float her corpse up. She couldn't fly, so where could she run?

Lu Se couldn't bear it and complained: "You really are something. How can you entertain a guest like this? There isn't even any water."

After speaking, he took out his water bag from his spatial artifact and placed it to the side: "It's clean."

Then he took out some sauce: "You don't even have sauce for sashimi. You people live really roughly."

After speaking, he drew his Dragon-Pattern Sword and slashed at the fish tail to bleed it: "Xi Lu Di also treated us to tuna and specifically instructed that it must be bled. Don't you dragons bleed the fish when you eat them?"

Since it was already bled, Lu Se didn't stand on ceremony. He cut off a large piece, dipped it in sauce, and ate it: "It's so fresh. Everyone, come and..."

He turned his head and saw that everyone was gone, leaving only him and the Black Night Crow in the cave.

Except for him, only Lei Dian needed to eat, but Lei Dian was a vegetarian, eating things like World Tree fruit sprouts, so he wouldn't look at salty, fishy sashimi.

The Black Night Crow said awkwardly: "It's just us left. We can't fly. Why don't you stay here too? This fish is enough for the two of us to eat." Thinking about being in the same room with a strange man, the Black Night Crow felt a bit shy.

Lu Se quickly finished the sashimi in his hand, ran to the cave entrance, and said: "Hehe, you're the one who can't fly. I can. Bye-bye."

After speaking, he unleashed his battle aura, leaped out of the cave, and chased in the direction Ang and the others had left. High-rank Sword Saints can use battle aura for short-distance flight, and their speed is sometimes faster than mages.

The Black Night Crow blushed, and it took a long time before she muttered: "You really don't know how to talk. If you're still single, it's definitely based on your own ability."

Ang and the others, under Bu Lusike's guidance, arrived at the platform in front of the incubation room. Having received the message, almost all the dragons on Longdao and Vortex Island had gathered here.

They surrounded the path leading to the incubation room, and some even flew in the air, scrambling to watch the person coming to solve the Dragon Clan's egg-stuck problem.

Then, they saw Ang and the others behind Bu Lusike, and all couldn't help but show expressions of disappointment.

What kind of lineup is this? A human? A brass hatchling? A holy angel with its wings plucked? A fresh undead creature? A unicorn and a big cat?

Can they solve this great problem that has plagued the Dragon Clan for millions of years?

"Oh my, Bu Lusike, what kind of big shots have you brought back? Why don't you introduce them? Let us see what kind of big shots can solve the egg-stuck problem. You aren't relying on these humans and this brass dragon that isn't even as big as a dragon egg, are you?" A sharp, mean voice suddenly rang out.

Bu Lusike narrowed his eyes, his inner lids retracted, revealing a dangerous look.

This voice came from the sharpest and meanest dragon of the Dragon Clan—Mi Le Di Er.

This Mi Le Di Er had a very nasty personality. He liked to show off, was vain, loved shiny things, and liked to go in front of mother dragons whose eggs were stuck or who had lost their hatchlings to show off his own children.

Bu Lusike's wife hated this Mi Le Di Er very much, especially during the time when her egg was stuck. She was often so angry that she wanted to breathe fire, and more than once she wanted Bu Lusike to expel Mi Le Di Er.

But as the Patriarch, he couldn't just expel a dragon because his wife didn't like him, so he could only pretend not to hear.

However, for a period of time recently, he hadn't heard this name much because Bu Lusike had brought back the little golden dragon. Mi Le Di Er couldn't find a sense of superiority here, so he probably went to show off to other mother dragons.

If the previous actions were just a nasty personality, then the current behavior was a heinous crime.

On the way back, Nai Ge Li Si had talked to Bu Lusike about Ang's new divine skill.

Originally, Bu Lusike thought it was just like Bai Hou and his child, cultivating a body through nutrient solution and then transferring consciousness. But Nai Ge Li Si told him that Ang could directly purge the defects of the egg-stuck problem from the Dragon Clan's bloodline, and future dragons would not face this defect.

What is this? This is the Dragon God reborn!

This grace of recreating the Dragon Clan—if Mi Le Di Er were to talk nonsense and anger Lord Ang, causing him to turn around and leave, then Mi Le Di Er would be a sinner of the entire Dragon Clan.

Just as Bu Lusike was about to explode, Nai Ge Li Si suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, isn't this little Mi Di? Haven't seen you for so many years, you've grown so big? I am your Grandpa Nai Ge."

"Grandpa Nai Ge?" Mi Le Di Er was stunned. This familiar name, this familiar tone—not only him, but the older dragons in the Dragon Clan all remembered something.

Bu Lusike immediately took the opportunity to introduce: "This is the second dragon to ignite the divine fire, hailed as the guiding light of the dragons, the god swimming in the ocean of knowledge, the all-knowing God of Knowledge, the brass dragon Nai Ge!"

The surrounding dragons were in an uproar. Some older dragons said one after another: "I remember now. No wonder I felt this brass dragon looked familiar. The lecherous... the lecherous look is really like Grandpa Nai Ge!"

The dragon speaking clearly had a higher seniority and was Nai Ge Li Si's nephew generation.

"Hehe." Nai Ge Li Si looked around. He was basically familiar with the older dragons, but now was not the time to reminisce. He saw him turn to Mi Le Di Er and say:

"Little Mi Di, Grandpa Nai Ge held you when you were little. I didn't expect you to have grown so big in the blink of an eye. When I held you when you were little, you even shot a puddle of diarrhea at me, almost hitting me. Now that you've grown up, is your digestion any better?" Nai Ge Li Si asked with concern.

What? Diarrhea? In an instant, all the dragons cast their gazes at him.

Mi Le Di Er was also stunned. If it was something from when he was little, that was thousands of years ago. How could he remember? He didn't dare to be sure if such a thing had happened.

Speaking of this, Nai Ge Li Si even said happily: "A big puddle on the ground. You probably haven't seen it, right? You even stuck out your tongue to lick it."

"Eww~~~" All the dragons showed shocked and indescribable expressions on their faces.

"I didn't! You're talking nonsense!" Mi Le Di Er screamed.

He couldn't remember if he had diarrhea or not, but he definitely remembered whether he licked it or not. Even when hatchlings are small, they have complete memories because they have already matured in the dragon egg. This Nai Ge is lying and framing him.

"Oh? Is that so? Then maybe I remembered wrong," Nai Ge Li Si said with a hypocritical apology.

But by now, Nai Ge Li Si's apology and Mi Le Di Er's denial were meaningless. All the dragons cast expressions of shock and schadenfreude, and some even showed confusion, as if asking: How could you have done such a stupid thing?

Because of Mi Le Di Er's nasty personality, not a single dragon sympathized with him; instead, they looked excited, ready to spread the story far and wide.

Undoubtedly, Mi Le Di Er was functionally dead in the social circle of the Dragon Clan from now on.

"Ahhh!!" Mi Le Di Er screamed, flapped his wings, and flew away. He probably wouldn't have the face to return to Vortex Island for a long time.

Bu Lusike quietly gave a thumbs up to Nai Ge Li Si. Heavens, why hadn't he thought of this move?

Doesn't Mi Le Di Er like to show off? Next time he comes to show off, anyone can just reply: I heard you licked diarrhea when you were little. Let's see if he still has the face to stay.

So, never offend those grandpas and grandmas. They can just say one embarrassing thing about you wearing nothing when you were little, and it will make you unable to face anyone for a long time.

Nai Ge Li Si's move of teasing Mi Le Di Er brought him unexpected benefits. All the dragons actually accepted him immediately—this clan elder who should have died but had now returned as an embryonic dragon.

Entering the incubation room, for safety's sake, Bu Lusike drove all the other dragons out and then brought Ang to the two dragon eggs in the corner.

"These two dragon eggs have been stuck for a long time. I originally wanted to bring them over to ask for your help, my lord, but they have already reached the most critical moment and cannot be moved. I implore you to lend a hand, my lord. The Dragon Clan will definitely engrave your kindness in their hearts," Bu Lusike said solemnly.

Ang examined the two dragon eggs for a while and suddenly said: "No need for the Goddess of Beauty Fist."
