Chapter 332 She Didn’t Go There

Xu Chuchu thought her mission was to stop the Grand Master and to destroy the Dog Emperor... but she found that this was not enough.

She is not afraid of completing the mission, but she would rather have someone tell her what to do.

Instead of sitting there in confusion, waiting for possible pain and death.

No matter how optimistic she was, the image of her lying in a pool of blood would still flash through her mind from time to time.

"Chu Chu, don't you understand yet?" Xiao Yu suddenly said, "The reason this mission is yours, not someone else's, is because of your character, your courage and tenacity, your refusal to give up... It's because of these qualities of yours, not because you are 'you'."

"What? Isn't Red Dragon saying that the mission is predetermined and the fate is written? No matter what we do, we will end up with the same outcome." Xu Chuchu didn't understand immediately.

"You're confused by the situation, Chuchu." Xiao Yu rubbed her head with a smile in his eyes. "Honglong said that fate is written because she knows you will be the one to change it. But how to change fate is in our own hands."

"Besides, I will always be with you." He held her on his lap. "You forgot, the Red Dragon said that you must have a true partner. That's me."

"Yeah." Although it sounded old-fashioned, Xu Chuchu still admitted that these words warmed her heart.

Facing an unknown future, having someone by your side is much better than being alone.

Xiao Yu's shoulders were broad, his embrace was warm, and he smelled pleasant, which made Xu Chuchu relax completely.

"Chu Chu?" He hugged her tightly and placed a light kiss on her forehead.

"Hmm?" Hearing his trembling voice, Xu Chuchu seemed to know what he was going to do.

Her heart beat faster and she curled up tighter, waiting for Xiao Yu's next move.

Xiao Yu suppressed her excitement and said, "Chu Chu, tell me more about the 'mobile phone' you mentioned just now. You said that if both of us have mobile phones, we can still talk even if we are far apart?"

“…”

"Isn't that the same as the sound transmission talisman? It's even better than the sound transmission talisman, because you can hear the sound directly."

“…Ah, yes.”

"How does this work?"

She couldn't explain the principle! Had she learned this lesson before? Even if she had, she'd forgotten everything!

"You said there are 'wires' and 'radios' that can transmit energy. What's the difference between them?"

"Since radio can't be seen or touched, how can you know it exists? Is it the same as spiritual power?"

"What kind of knowledge do you learn in school? It seems to be more than just the Four Books and Five Classics?"

"Majors? What major are you studying, Chuchu?"

…

Until the lights were turned off and it was time to go to bed at night, Xiao Yu was still asking questions with great interest.

Xu Chuchu really didn't want to talk anymore. She patted his thigh and leaned over seductively: "Why do you always talk about this? How about we do something else?"

"What can we do now that it's dark?" Xiao Yu looked at her affectionately, "Chu Chu, tell me more. I want to know more about your past."

Xu Chuchu: “…”

She is just an ordinary poor student who barely passed the exam. She didn't pass!

…

The dragon egg soaked in warm water all night. Early the next morning, Xu Chuchu picked it up, prepared to wipe it clean and carry it on his back.

As soon as I touched the dragon egg, I felt it tremble slightly, as if it was very unhappy to leave the warm environment.

"Ayu, Ayu!" Xu Chuchu shouted excitedly, "Come here quickly, the baby is moving!"

"Fetal movement!" Xiao Yu stood up with a start, touched his forehead for a moment, and then walked over.

"Calm down, Chuchu," he said. "Yesterday the old village chief said it was about to hatch, so it's normal for it to move. We should soak it in warm water when we get a chance. This will help it grow faster."

"Okay." Although Xu Chuchu had just touched the egg, she treasured it very much, as if it were her own child.

In addition to knowing that it has a special identity, there is also some fun in hatching it. I hope it will be a beautiful little dragon after it hatches.

They packed their bags and prepared to buy some supplies in the village before leaving.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I saw rows of villagers wrapped in white robes. After asking, I learned that the old village chief had passed away last night.

Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh. The old village chief was granted eternal life by the red dragon, but he used this eternal life to live at the foot of the mountain, silently accompanying the red dragon.

Now that the Red Dragon is gone, he has no ties to the world and has chosen to leave as well.

I don’t know if there really is a Yellow Spring underground, and whether there is any possibility for them to meet again.

…

Because they didn't know what the mission that Red Dragon was talking about was, the two of them acted according to the original plan. They first took the Cang Yun Sword back to Fox Mountain and released the Fox Fairy.

It's not just for the blood oath, but also because if something really happens in the future, perhaps the fox fairy's ability can be of some help.

When they came, they basically took the mountain roads and water routes in order to hurry up. When they returned, they chose the route through the town to see if they could get some information.

After the death of the Red Dragon, the dome disappeared and the Peach Blossom Land was destroyed. It is unknown whether other places in the world were affected.

A few days later, the two arrived in Changning County.

Changning County is located to the north of Xu Chuchu's "hometown" Tailing County, and is adjacent to the Tailing River. Although it is not as developed as Tailing, it is considered to be quite good among the major county towns because of its convenient transportation, developed commerce and handicrafts.

Foreigners often come here to do business. Compared to modern Wenzhou, it is more like this.

As soon as the two entered the city gate, they felt the bustling business atmosphere here.

There are merchants shouting and selling their goods everywhere. From a distance, the main roads are almost entirely lined with shops, and the shop owners' homes are right behind the shops, which is convenient and economical.

There are also small vendors setting up stalls on other streets. Although there are many of them, they are well managed.

There was a clear dividing line drawn on the ground, and no vendors placed their goods outside the line.

Although it was noisy all around them, Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu felt relaxed almost immediately.

There is no conspiracy or death here, only the bustling atmosphere of human life.

"Remember to gather your spiritual energy." Xu Chuchu reminded Xiao Yu, "There may be other practitioners here."

"good."

Now the cultivation levels of the two have far exceeded the seventh level understood by ordinary physiognomists. If they rashly show off everywhere, it will easily cause chaos.

As they walked around, Xiao Yu didn't like anything, but Xu Chuchu saw a few things she had never seen before and asked a few more questions.

Some sounds around them caught their attention.

"...What? You're just bragging."

"What kind of dragon is this? Is it a giant bat caught somewhere?"

"It's not a bat, it's a lizard with wings!"

When Xu Chuchu heard someone mention "dragon", he immediately became alert.

I checked the dragon egg on my back and felt relieved after making sure it was wrapped tightly.

What are those people talking about? Is someone selling dragons?

Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu quietly squeezed over to the noisy stall, and their hearts skipped a beat as soon as they took a look at it——

There really is a dragon here! A black little dragon with sharp thorns on its back!
