Shang Youqing was a little phoenix residing on Wutong Mountain, living a life of idleness until she turned seventeen. That year, she learned from her ancestor that her spiritual root had accidental...
Chapter 115 You even remember his breath?
Underwater divine realm.
Ever since Shang You discovered that she could reach the bottom of the ice abyss from the center of the pool, and that the deeper she practiced, the more energy she could accumulate than on the surface of the water.
Therefore, Shang You has been diving into the bottom of the ice abyss to concentrate on practicing for several days. She will not swim back to the surface of the ice to rest for a while until her little dragon tail has no strength to swing anymore.
Then go to the ice cave and try to open the ice wall and talk to your brother.
On this day, Shang You originally swam to the bottom of the ice abyss to practice as before, but unexpectedly she picked up a dragon scale bigger than her palm in a crack in the ice.
Shang You initially thought that the light was emitted by the ice in the pond, but when he got closer he realized something was wrong.
The dragon scales were extremely hard, with sharp curves and emitted a faint blue light.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like... dragon scales on the big bad guy.
No, this is the dragon scale of that big bad guy!
Shang You's hands were too small to completely hold the dragon scale, so he opened his two little paws and carried it on his tail all the way back to the pool.
As soon as he returned to the surface, Shang You couldn't wait to carry the dragon scale to the ice cave.
Through a transparent ice wall, He Zhimo just heard the sound of his sister's tail swinging and came out of the ice cave.
He Zhimo's legs also grew into a small dragon tail in the past two days.
Unlike Shang You's transparent blue tail, He Zhimo's tail scales are a shiny gradient blue-gold color.
Moreover, as the energy of dragon breath absorbed through practice increased, the color of the scales on the two cubs' dragon tails became noticeably brighter in the past two days.
He Zhimo thought his sister had encountered some difficulties while practicing at the bottom of the pool, so he came out as soon as he heard the noise.
"Yuyu, what's wrong?"
Shang You immediately showed him the heavy dragon scale, "Brother, I found the bad guy's dragon scale under the water!"
While He Zhimo was observing it, Shang You continued in confusion.
"But I remember that the dragon scales on the bad guy's tail were very strong. I tried my best to bite off a piece last time, but I couldn't. How did his scales fall under the water?"
He Zhimo did not answer this question immediately, but raised another strange point.
"Youyou, do you feel that the cold energy coming out of this dragon scale is very similar to the dragon breath energy we have absorbed in the past few days?"
Shang You was stunned when he heard this, and lowered his head to touch the dragon scales, and more cold air flowed out from the dragon scales.
But just as my brother said, the cold air in the dragon scales is very similar to the smell of the dragon breath they have been practicing and absorbing in the past few days, and it is even more energetic.
Shang You held the heavy dragon scale in her arms, and a guess suddenly popped up in her mind. She raised her head hesitantly, "Brother, could the dragon breath energy we accumulate through practice be the energy of the bad guys?"
Before He Zhimo could answer, Shang You's face was almost wrinkled into a ball, "But why did he do this?"
He Zhimo suddenly raised his head after some thought, "I suddenly remembered! Youyou, do you remember what he said to us before he left that day?"
Shang You nodded vigorously, "Remember! The bad guys said that we should practice hard here and accumulate enough energy to open the ice wall barrier and leave here to see mom..."
"Well, he also said that we can only go see Mom when we can stand on our own in the outside world. Youyou, it just suddenly occurred to me that the main point of his words might be that we should be able to stand on our own in the outside world."
Shang You repeated word for word, "Can handle things on his own?"
"Because when we escaped last time, we were almost locked up by that bad grandfather, and he was the one who saved us..."
He Zhimo felt very upset and frustrated when he mentioned this matter. "Youyou, I actually think some of what he said is quite right. At that time, I only wanted to take you away quickly, but I didn't think about whether I could protect you if we ran into bad guys after we got out..."
"So, this time I have made up my mind to practice and become stronger. When the time comes, I will be able to protect Youyou when I take you away."
At this point, He Zhimo's gaze slowly returned to the dragon scale held by Shang You. "Youyou, tell me, could this be his real reason for wanting us to stay here?"
After hearing what her brother said, Shang You looked at the dragon scale with mixed feelings. She scratched the dragon pattern on the scales with her little hands, and after a long while she could only utter a weak sentence.
"It seems so... But, even if it is so, I will not forgive the villain who broke my mother's tail feathers."
"Yuzu..."
Shang You threw the dragon scales next to the ice wall. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He rubbed his nose in frustration and said, "Brother, I have to go down to practice first..."
Without waiting for his brother's reply, he swung his dragon tail and jumped back into the depths of the pool...
At the same time, Cheng Huang followed Shang Youqing's instructions and returned to the sea area where the dragon cave was located.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the cliff edge, he ran into Chen Jichuan who had been standing on the cliff for who knows how long.
Seawater splashed all over the ground beside Chen Jichuan, as if he had just come out of the sea.
Cheng Huang looked at him strangely as soon as he landed, so he changed back into human form and immediately stepped forward to help Fenghuang ask, "Colonel Shen, why are you here?"
Chen Jichuan looked at Shang Youqing approaching, his face quite solemn. After a long while, he squeezed out a very clumsy lie, "I was just passing by."
"That's not right, Colonel Shen. Didn't you say you had something to leave for? Then why did you pass by here?"
Chen Jichuan was silent for a moment, "Yes, I passed by here——"
"Are you here to see Ying Shixue?"
Without giving Shen Jichuan a chance to reorganize his words, Shang Youqing asked directly.
Chen Jichuan was a little stunned, and the corners of his mouth slightly stretched out, trying to change the subject, "Why would Qingqing feel..."
"I'm not guessing." Shang Youqing's eyes fell on the sea water around him, pointing out the evidence to him, "I can smell the cold aura of that dragon around you."
It was the eternal chill emanating from the dragon, and it was hard for her to ignore it.
Shen Jichuan was stunned when he heard her words, then he stared at her helplessly and said, "You even remember his breath?"
Shang You was quiet for a moment, and did not directly answer the question, but simply asked, "Chen Jichuan, so you did see him just now? He is really here?"
Shang Youqing originally just wanted to come here to find Ying Shixue's subordinates, and then find out the specific whereabouts of her two children.
It was totally unexpected that Ying Shixue would dare to come back here.
She narrowed her eyes and clenched her hands tightly.
He had no idea how aggressive his eyes were at the moment because of Ying Wixue.
However, the next second, Shen Jichuan deliberately avoided her gaze and said, "No, he is no longer here."
