On the fortieth day of being with the silly dragon princess, we have arrived at the fourth large island on the edge of the Mo Sea.
My spirit stone bag is almost empty.
"Mmm...it tastes so good, Yan Quan...don't you like it?"
Long Caile's mouth was bulging, and she spoke unclearly.
"I... I'll pass."
I swallowed hard and forced myself to speak.
I'm almost penniless, what am I going to eat?
Hold back, hold back, don't get angry with her.
That's a million spirit stones! And what I received was clearly not the Dragon Palace's top-tier bounty. How could a dignified dragon princess only have a million?
Although I estimate that the bounty was passed down through four or five sets before it reached me, the person was ultimately in my hands. I certainly wouldn't take him directly to the place on the mission book. As long as I took him back to the Dragon Palace, I could get the real amount from the Dragon Palace.
How many high-grade spirit stones will there be then? Ten million? A hundred million?!
But that's all in the future. What I need to do now is keep her in my hands forever.
Of course, there might be others trying to take it from me later, like the lobster spirit I encountered a few days ago.
But he seems to have called himself a member of the Spirit Shrimp Clan?
Forget it, I've already beaten them up, so I'll just leave it at that for now.
However, if I encounter someone whose cultivation level is much higher than mine, that would be troublesome, so I still need to be careful...
"Um...right, there's a fireworks display on this island today, would you like to come with me to watch it?"
"Ahem, didn't we agree that we'd only stay here for two days?"
They left after eating...
I immediately refused, and as expected, she became unhappy again.
"I want to see it, so I'll do whatever you say. I'll wear a mask and transform into human form... Don't be so stingy. I'll listen to whatever you say, okay?"
Long Caile wiped her mouth and, without any restraint, hugged him and pleaded for mercy, something she hadn't done in a long time.
"Ah, I already said that."
Also, I noticed a few days ago that you were deliberately dragging your feet. Do you not want to go back at all?
I held her pretty, round face with one hand to prevent her from getting too close, and then I stated my judgment.
Another strange thing is that, starting a few days ago, she has been rubbing against me a lot.
As a result, I was basically covered in her unique floral scent.
Moreover, that fragrance seemed easy to recognize, as could be seen from the fearful eyes of the Mo Hai race.
But that goes against my desire to keep a low profile.
"Hmm, no... I've never seen fireworks before, only in the library deep within the Dragon Palace, so... Please don't be angry, this princess will listen to you, okay?"
Long Caile's colorful eyes revealed obvious disappointment, and for the first time in a long time, she did not finish the remaining food.
It seems she's really unhappy, but the reason she needs to eat so much every day is probably a side effect of her special dragon ball, right?
I can't control it now, but I might be able to after I improve my cultivation.
At that time, she will be a nightmare for cultivators of the same level.
"Sigh, never mind, this is the last time."
I shook my head, drank a cup of tea, and said helplessly.
"Really? You're so kind!"
"Again?..."
I quickly got up and avoided her.
"What are you doing? Are you disgusted with this princess...?"
"No, no. Look outside, it seems they've already started setting up stalls. We can stroll around and walk to the top of that little hill, which is a great spot to watch the fireworks at night."
As I watched the light outside the window gradually turn into the pale yellow of the setting sun, I reminded her and handed her the small mask.
"Um... okay."
"Let's go, let's set off then."
She skipped and hopped around as she prepared, then grabbed my hand and led me out of the restaurant.
"Hey, slow down."
I said helplessly, "This guy really can't be allowed to eat his fill. He's so energetic once he's full."
As we walked along the bustling streets of the island with its dense crowds of pedestrians, we saw many interesting performances and things.
Long Caile seemed to have noticed the crisis in my spirit stone bag and stopped pestering me to buy her things.
Ah, it seems this little princess has quite a keen eye for observation.
I always walked a few steps behind her, watching her skip and hop around happily playing with those people.
Every now and then, she would pull me into the crowd…
"Wow... there are so few people on this little hill. Why don't they know to come up here and take a look?"
Just as the fireworks display was about to begin, I took her to a small hill that faced the event venue.
"Because the locals worship this mountain as a sacred mountain, they don't allow people to come up, and we were on an unguarded side road anyway."
We sat together on the edge of a cliff, right in front of the spot where the fireworks would be set off later.
"Oh, then aren't we being a little... not quite right? They're so enthusiastic, they're such a nice and genuine group of people, I really envy them."
"We're not going to damage anything here, we'll just sit and watch the fireworks, and their gods will understand."
I crossed my arms and explained. Long Caile nodded blankly and leaned closer.
What she didn't know was that the god worshipped here was the great dragon god who created and protected Mo Hai in ancient times, and that dragon god's dragon ball was also colorful.
If we round it up, wouldn't she be the deity worshipped in this place?
How much longer?
She clung tightly to one of my arms, her little feet dangling in the air and kicking constantly, while her dragon tail gently touched me from the other side.
About fifteen minutes?
"Wait for me, I lost something. I'll go back and look for it, and I'll be right back."
I glanced at the forest behind me, sighed, and stood up.
"Ah, okay... wait a minute!"
This princess is giving you fifteen minutes to be back. You must be back, understand?
She stared intently with her beautiful eyes, clenching her small fists tightly.
"Yes, I know."
