Chapter 267 Ding—Elder Long has issued you a mission.
Yu Xunge shouted in his heart: "Tu Lan Tu Lan Tu Lan—!"
Tu Lan: "Don't worry, baby! I promise I'll get it for you!"
As he spoke, Tulan lay down on the spot and began to flail his limbs wildly, shouting, "I want to—!! I don't care, I don't care!"
She got more and more excited as she talked, and when she thought about how Yu Xunge still needed the information about the Midnight City Tower, she added, "And the secrets of the Midnight City Tower, I want to know too~ Baby, what else do you want? Tell me."
Yu Xunge choked up: "Your baby wants to live."
Yu Xunge: "I'm never coming to your house again!!"
She's never been so embarrassed in her life. For the rest of her life, she'll be so haunted by the memory of today's scene that she'll be unable to sleep until dawn.
But she still ran over and tried to pull Tulan up, whispering, "Tulan—!"
What she didn't notice was that both Saint Cup North Year and Snowdrift had smiles in their eyes.
The reason why the beloved baby is called the beloved baby is that no matter what she does, the adults indulge her without any bottom line or principle. Moreover, the interaction between Tu Lan and Yu Xun Ge is really interesting to them.
They are Tu Lan's elders, so how could they not understand Tu Lan? Although Tu Lan's behavior also had the meaning of being coquettish and spoiled, it was more to tease Yu Xun Ge and see Yu Xun Ge's reaction. It was as if making Yu Xun Ge so anxious that he grimaced and bristled on the spot was a great prank.
This was something Tu Lan had never done before on Dragon Island. After all, everyone around her was an elder thousands of years older than her. No matter how much she was favored, she would never tease her elders without restraint.
After Tu Lan was dragged back to sit down by Yu Xunge with his neck locked, Xue Dui said, "I know what this is. I even have one in my Dragon Nest. But since the Dragon Clan is neutral, I won't tell you its specific function. However... if you help us complete a task, I can decide to give you the domino from the Dragon Nest."
Is this a mission? Yu Xunge isn't worried about the Dragon Clan giving her a mission. More than doing missions, she's afraid of owing the Dragon Clan a favor.
Yu Xunge immediately said, "Please speak, senior."
Snowdrift: "More than a hundred years ago, a wind sickle came to the dragon's nest and stole a piece of the dragon ancestor's reverse scale. As long as you and Tulan find that piece of the dragon ancestor's reverse scale, I will give you the dominoes."
Tu Lan asked the question Yu Xunge wanted to ask: "Why didn't you go find something so important yourselves?"
Snowdrift snorted, its fiery red eyes fixed on Yu Xunge: "That Dragon Ancestor's Reverse Scale was stolen by that Wind Scythe and brought to your world, and finally left behind on your planet."
More than a hundred years ago? On Earth?
Yu Xunge's heart was filled with emotion. She asked, "But our world was only recently invaded."
Snowdrift didn't answer the question. He exhaled a breath of dragonfire, and fire magic threads formed a human face in the air. He concisely and forcefully stated the terms of the deal: "This is the last owner of the Reverse Scale, and this is all the clues I can give you. Find the Dragon Ancestor's Reverse Scale, bring it back to the Dragon Nest, and I will give you whatever you want, whether it's the dominoes or the story of the Midnight City Tower."
Yu Xunge looked at the face constructed from magic threads in the air. It was the face of a middle-aged man. She was sure she didn't recognize him, but the face looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Tulan had already flown onto the snowdrift's back, insisting on seeing which tile was the mahjong tile in the dragon's nest.
Snowdrift couldn't resist her—mainly because Holy Grail and Northern Year were both staring intently at him—so he took out the domino and showed it to Tulan.
Tu Lan exclaimed in surprise, "Seven of Bamboo!!"
Yu Xunge, who was deep in thought, was also taken aback by the result, but when she looked up, the snowdrift had already been cleared away.
Snowdrift used its dragon claws to lift Tulan, who was lunging at it, and put her on the ground: "Being cute and acting spoiled won't work. You'll have to fight back."
After finishing their business, Yu Xunge and Tu Lan lingered at the snowdrift for a while. Tu Lan mainly introduced the game consoles she had brought to Shengbei Beisui. Although Ze Lan also had her own game console, Shengbei and Beisui had long been tired of playing them, so Tu Lan dragged them to play games from Blue Star.
While waiting for the show to end, Yu Xunge racked her brains trying to figure out where she had seen that person before.
It wasn't until Tu Lan got tired of playing and took Yu Xun Ge back to his own Dragon Tooth Nest, muttering about not being able to unlock certain achievements or get medals, that Yu Xun Ge had a sudden inspiration.
She walked to the dragon's nest and took out something she had obtained a long time ago from her backpack—a statue of a person.
[An Ancestor] (S-Rank): Touching the statue and praying fervently increases maximum health and maximum mana by 10% for 10 minutes. This effect can only be active once every 30 minutes. (Note: If the player's surname is Liang, an additional 10% damage is added, and the duration is 15 minutes.)
The face on the statue depicted the Liang family ancestor in his old age, while the snowdrift showed him in his middle age. The facial features and bone structure remained unchanged, but there are still differences between middle age and old age, which is why Yu Xunge didn't immediately recognize him.
It's fair to say that if the statue hadn't omitted some wrinkles, Yu Xunge might not have been able to match the two together.
Tulan flew over at this moment and also discovered that this person was the one in the portrait provided by Xue Dui.
The man and the dragon looked at the inscription on the base of the statue, which contained a short biography of him, briefly introducing how he made his fortune and what good deeds he had done. However, there was a sentence written after his name and birth and death dates.
[Liang Pozhou, 1922-2006, "A Choice Without Regret, a Life Betrayed"]
Tulan pointed to the sentence and asked, "What does this mean?"
Yu Xunge didn't quite understand the deeper meaning of those words either.
But finding the target corresponding to the clue so quickly means that the mission progress has been advanced by at least 30%.
In high spirits, Yu Xunge stayed in Dragon's Nest for a few more days. Since it was a rare opportunity to come here, and the most exciting day was over, she had nothing to be afraid of anymore. Tu Lan then took her all over Dragon Island, shopping everywhere.
Today we shoveled some powder that fell off when the dragons were filing their nails. Tomorrow we'll go to some nook and cranny to pick up a few dragon scales that haven't been collected by the snow piles yet. The two of us even found half a dragon whisker.
Although these broken dragon scales and whiskers no longer possessed any power, they were still excellent materials. Yu Xunge and Tu Lan specifically took them to Xue Dui for inspection, and after examining them, Xue Dui told her to keep them.
The two children would go to Bei Sui and the Holy Grail for meals every day, because the Holy Grail's dragon nest was more beautiful. They spent most of their time running to the Holy Grail's dragon nest, since Bei Sui would deliver the food to the Holy Grail's dragon nest anyway.
Tu Lan always looked like she was saying, "Holy Grail, I'm back from collecting trash!" Her dragon feet were pitch black as she walked into the Holy Grail's lair. Yu Xunge felt that the Holy Grail's expression was growing colder and colder...
