Wu Nian's return to the Wu family did not seem to bring about any changes.
Cheng Huaijin was busy with studying, working and training, and would only return to the Wu family in the evening and leave again early in the morning.
To be honest, I rarely had the chance to meet Wu Nian and other members of the Wu family.
The newly hatched wooden dragon often falls into a deep sleep, and Cheng Huaijin gives all the plant crystals he obtained from Zhao Yu to the wooden dragon.
Lei Jingling's spirits have improved considerably. She has woken up from her previous drowsy state and has resumed pestering Cheng Huaijin every day.
Fang Juexia was reluctant to see Cheng Huaijin leave, but she also understood that separation was inevitable in life. So she hugged Cheng Huaijin and cried bitterly, vowing to always be Cheng Huaijin's number one fan.
Cheng Huaijin was embraced, feeling the warmth from another world.
My friend, that's wonderful.
Every day was busy and fulfilling. With a heart full of trepidation, Cheng Huaijin prepared to step into a new stage of her life.
That day, Wu Yutao came to Cheng Huaijin's room.
Cheng Huaijin was startled and quickly invited Grandma Wu to sit down: "Grandma Wu, what brings you here? You could have just called me if you needed anything."
Wu Yutao was leaning on a wooden cane, its simple and unadorned design making Cheng Huaijin feel strangely familiar with it.
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...
Wu Yutao sat down, her tone gentle: "How are the preparations going?"
Cheng Huaijin snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "That's about it. There are still a few formalities left. I'll also have a get-together with my classmates to say goodbye. I'm leaving next week."
Wu Yutao nodded, her tone filled with nostalgia: "Huacheng, I used to study there too."
Cheng Huaijin said shyly, "This is my first time visiting Huacheng. I hope Grandma Wu will forgive me."
"Haha, you silly child," Wu Yutao said kindly. "By the way, I have something I want you to give to someone for me."
As Cheng Huaijin sat in front of Wu Yutao, he felt increasingly awkward.
What exactly is strange about it?
...Grandma Wu's attitude has become very strange...She was so cold to her before, why is she suddenly so kind??
Cheng Huaijin's internal alarm bells went off, but he obediently asked, "What is it?"
Wu Yutao smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a souvenir."
She took out a black cloth sachet with gold patterns; the contents of the sachet felt like a small board.
Cheng Huaijin touched it twice through the fabric; it seemed to be something like a token.
"Can I open it and take a look?" Cheng Huaijin asked.
Wu Yutao shook her head: "We can't open it. Inside is a stone tablet carved from fragments of the Flying Rock, which carries a trace of the Flying Rock Beast's aura. Once the bag is opened, the aura will dissipate."
The Flying Rock Beast is an Earth-type pet beast with powerful flight capabilities and rock-like defense. Its appearance resembles a giant eagle, but its body is covered in hard rock skin, and its wings are made of massive rocks. Born in the Flying Rock, it is a rare pet beast with a long history.
"This is something I finally got. An old friend of mine really wants it. Please deliver it to him for me."
Cheng Huaijin thought for a moment and asked, "It's not that I don't want to deliver it for you, but I'm afraid there might be some oversight. Can't we ask the post office to send it?"
The world of Beast Taming also has a post office, which usually uses pets and machines to transport items.
“It can’t be sent.” Wu Yutao shook her head regretfully. “Sending requires review, which takes a long time. We’re all getting old, and I’m afraid it won’t be in time.”
"This is my first wish."
Having said all that, Cheng Huaijin had no choice but to accept the stone tablet, no matter how uneasy he felt.
After Wu Yutao left, Cheng Huaijin studied the cloth bag for a long time, and even called Mu Long out to take a look, but he still couldn't recognize what it was.
Mulong said that the bag seemed to have some magical effect of isolating elements, and he could not feel anything inside the bag at all.
Dragons originally had a lineage, but that lineage had been broken for too long. Without a medium, the wooden dragon would have to wait a long time to awaken the lineage within its bloodline. Therefore, it didn't recognize the material of this cloth bag at all.
The next day, Afu brought over a small box containing a tiny dragon bone ring.
The wooden dragon instantly echoed in Cheng Huaijin's mind: "I want it! I want it! I want it! I want it!"
Cheng Huaijin did not accept it immediately, but asked, "Aunt Fu, what is this...?"
Afu smiled and said, "This is a farewell gift from Miss. It's a dragon bone ring, made from the bone of the Wood Dragon. It contains a strong wood element, which I believe will be very beneficial to both you and the Wood Dragon. Please accept this kind gift from Miss."
"This is too valuable, I..." Cheng Huaijin didn't want it. She couldn't accept something for nothing, especially since the Wu family had been helping her all along. How could she accept something so valuable?
"Please don't refuse," Afu said. "The young lady said this is also payment for your help in transporting the stone tablet."
Cheng Huaijin quickly waved his hand: "Let's keep this separate. I already promised Grandma Wu that I would deliver the stone tablet, so how could I accept any more gifts..."
Afu, not allowing any refusal, stuffed the small box into Cheng Huaijin's hand: "Miss is a woman of her word, so please don't make things difficult for me. Afu will be going now."
"this……"
As soon as Afu left, the wooden dragon flew out and circled around the wooden box.
"Open it quickly! Open it quickly!" Mu Long said anxiously.
...Well, I'm indebted to someone again. Grandma Wu is just too good to me.
Cheng Huaijin sighed inwardly as he opened the wooden box.
Alright, let's study it first. Since the wooden dragon wants this so much, it must be very useful to it. We'll repay it when we find something better!
