Chapter 91: The Standard Source of Companions
Godwin didn't even glance at the human servants on his island, just walked past them as if they didn't exist.
But he didn't walk far. Instead, he walked slowly along the coast not far from Ellis and the others.
The golden gate opened as expected. Shen Jiang, dressed in light clothes, came out and said good morning to Ellis and Catherine with a smile.
Catherine pointed in a certain direction, and Shen Jiang immediately understood. Sure enough, a huge black body full of violent aesthetics was pacing on the coast not far away.
The island's master, the Black Dragon, was nearby, and she couldn't help but greet him. Shen Jiang, mindful of her role as the Black Dragon's lackey, since he was her breadwinner, ran towards him.
"Good morning, Lord Godwin!"
Godwin turned around and said with a look of disgust: "Noisy believers."
Shen Jiang choked, her warm response met with a cold shoulder. However, she remained undeterred, only smiling and playing dumb. "I wonder if I'll have the honor of accompanying Lord Godwin to admire the beautiful morning scenery."
Godwin: "..."
She's here again.
It took Shen Jiang nearly a week to come to a conclusion. The Black Dragon Godwin was very fond of the early morning view of this Dragon Island, and only at this time was he in the best mood.
If she had not known what was happening, she would have thought that Godwin had come with Catherine and the others to greet her.
Of course, this kind of thing is impossible. If the arrogant and narcissistic Black Dragon cared about her, a little believer, he would not have never asked her where the time she disappeared went.
"Lord Godwin, this is the magic stone I found for you. Please accept it." Shen Jiang respectfully took out a small bag of magic stones from his storage ring, as a protection fee.
Godwin turned his gaze from the sparkling sea and affirmed the believers' achievements with admiration.
Not only did he select diligent and honest human servants to clear the weeds for him, but he also went out to go through all kinds of difficulties to find the top-level magic stone for him. As his only believer, the human in front of him has already done his best in practice.
Godwin always believed in the saying: Words may sometimes deceive a dragon, but actions never do. And his only believer clearly took this saying to the extreme.
"You have worked hard, my believer." Godwin did not hesitate to praise him.
"No, it's my honor," Shen Jiang said calmly, "It's a great honor for me to be your follower and serve you."
"Dear human, I have sensed your sincerity and I am very satisfied."
Shen Jiang shook his head seriously: "No, Lord Godwin, I think what I have done for you is far less than the spiritual strength you have brought to me."
Godwin glanced at her and was startled to see that there was indeed a look of dissatisfaction and regret between her eyebrows.
The believers' love for him became more and more devout and firm. This magnificent and sincere emotion reminded Godwin of what the mother dragon once mentioned: love is unrequited and is for fear of not giving enough to the other party.
Godwin probed, "Do you want any reward from me?"
The blue sky, the fresh breeze, and the smiling face in front of him made Godwin feel particularly good today.
Even if a believer did make an inappropriate request, such as wanting a huge gem as a reward, Godwin was prepared to consider it.
Shen Jiang's eyes lit up. She had finally waited for this moment. The Black Dragon hadn't let her down! What an honest and simple dragon.
"Lord Godwin, you have actually given me enough! The weeds and fruits here are very precious to me. As I just said, being able to work for you is the best reward you give me." Shen Jiang's eyes were sparkling, and at this moment they were filled with the reflection of the black dragon.
Seeing that the believer was still the same, Godwin couldn't help but sigh that she really loved him deeply and was afraid that he would despise her for being useless.
"In that case."
Shen Jiang's eyes became brighter, and her expectant look shone brightly in the morning light, making Long unable to take his eyes off her.
"Why don't you go to the old place where I lived and I'll weed the land and then I'll stay there for a while."
"no problem!"
Shen Jiang couldn't hide her excitement this time. This Black Dragon was so wise! That's what she meant!
The believers' unconcealed emotions were too intense. Looking at their excitement, Godwin felt a slight itch in his heart. He flicked his black tail twice, as if to sweep away the itch.
Yilong and Ren hit it off immediately, and both were very satisfied with each other's performance.
Shen Jiang immediately shared the good news with Ellis and the others: "Hurry up and pack up and get ready to leave."
Ellis thought of the plants still in the ground and asked, "What about those yams you planted?"
Shen Jiang smiled mysteriously. "After eight months of nourishment in the Dragon Mountains, they have successfully adapted to the soil and climate of this island. We can just come back to pick them in a few years."
To her, four years in the other world was just two months.
According to the old rules, Shen Jiang followed Godwin to fly to the new Longshan first, and then let Ellis and others go directly after the coordinates were confirmed.
Shen Jiang was very much looking forward to the herbs on Xinlong Mountain and couldn't wait to ask, "Lord Godwin, are there many weeds on that mountain?"
Godwin knew she was complaining about the lack of weeds on Dragon Island. Every time she returned, she'd hinted at her frustration at having too little weeds to weed. It wasn't that he didn't understand, but he found it amusing that such a small believer was so troubled.
"With the two humans you found, it will probably take a year or two."
Shen Jiang thought to himself: Brother, have you forgotten my younger brothers Priest and Quick?
Priest was particularly terrified of the Black Dragon, and would never approach it unless he was on Dragon Island. Godwin, a fiery fire dragon, was too intimidating for Priest. After all, his dragon flames could literally incinerate the fearless vampire Priest. Despite their ferocity, the vampires could only feign obedience before the powerful, overpowering Black Dragon.
Shen Jiang couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of this.
"What are you laughing at, you inexplicable human?"
Shen Jiang quickly straightened his attitude: "Lord Godwin may not have realized the unparalleled charm of his own. But anyone who has benefited from your kindness like me will be happy to serve you and weed."
"A smooth-talking human."
The dragon school Godwin had chosen this time was still in a beautiful location, but Shen Jiang stared at the bizarre-looking plants below. Those giant broccoli-like plants, couldn't they be...
As the black dragon landed on this slightly barren land with poor vegetation, Shen Jiang was still stunned as she looked at the giant tree in front of her. This was a plant she had only seen in pictures.
The trunk of the giant tree, which is up to 20 meters high, is thick and short, with longitudinal cracks in the bark, and it looks very old, but its branches and leaves are extremely lush, the green leaves are lush and verdant, and the entire crown is very beautiful.
There are hundreds of these giant trees. To be honest, this place doesn't look like Earth anymore, it looks like an alien place that only appears in science fiction movies.
Shen Jiang looked up at the dense, crisscrossing branches overhead, and her heart surged. From this angle, the tree looked more like a giant umbrella blown over by the wind.
This is the Dragon's Blood Tree. If you cut its bark, a deep red sap will flow out, just like human blood. This sap is actually the tree's resin, which is actually an extremely precious Chinese medicinal herb - Dragon's Blood Dracaena, also known as Qilinjie.
The preciousness of this medicine lies in its extremely strong effect in stopping bleeding and promoting blood circulation, which can be called the best blood medicine. However, because the dragon blood tree has become extinct in their place, not to mention that Shen Jiang has never seen the tree itself, she has not even seen the dragon blood tree itself.
Shen Jiang knew that there would be a surprise waiting for her in the new Longshan, but she never thought that the surprise would be so big.
Shen Jiang was so eager to take all these treasures home that she couldn't resist. However, she didn't have as many hills as Godwin, so this idea was just a thought.
However, this tree has become extinct in her world. Such an extremely precious dragon blood tree would probably be confiscated if she took it back. Thinking of this, Shen Jiang suddenly felt that it was not so regrettable that she could not bring it home.
Godwin glanced at the believer who was rubbing her hands in preparation, wondering why she was suddenly so passionate.
"This is where my father and mother dragons lived." Godwin looked at the trees in front of him and suddenly said this.
Shen Jiang was a little slow to react and let out a confused "Ah".
"These trees began to grow when they lived here. They are already eight thousand years old." Godwin looked at these giant trees with a very gentle gaze.
Shen Jiang was struck by lightning, and an expression of disbelief and grief immediately appeared on his face.
Why!
This precious wood material with precious commemorative significance must be shown to her, but she cannot use it!
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I..." Shen Jiang was at a loss for words, stammering for a long while, "These huge trees witnessed your parents' touching love. I was deeply moved and couldn't help myself..."
Woohoo, her blood is draining out!!!
Godwin was taken aback, having never expected her to bring up such a matter. But, as for love… Thinking of his father and mother dragons' daily lives, Godwin concluded that, rather than a lingering, touching love, they were more like rivals who cherished each other, sharing the joy of meeting a worthy opponent. They were also the only powerful beings in the world who could truly bring each other to their knees.
Godwin's requirements for his future partner were based on the father and mother dragons. In his opinion, there was no more suitable partner than this. Only a powerful being that he could look up to could be his equal.
"Why do you look like that?"
Godwin looked at the believer with a gloomy face somewhat helplessly. He didn't refuse her to follow him, so was it necessary for her to act like the sky was falling?
Shen Jiang waved her hands. She was almost covering her mouth and crying, saying that she was fine and everything was fine. A dragon blood tree of this age was right in front of her, but she couldn't use it.
She was really hurt.
Once the bark is cut open to extract the resin, the blood-red liquid that flows out will be very eye-catching. It just so happens that this tree was left to him by the old black dragon.
If Godwin came back and saw the hideous appearance of hundreds of trees bleeding, he would probably be furious and crush Ellis, Catherine and her to ashes on the spot.
Shen Jiang's mind raced, trying to find a suitable solution. But when she thought of her grandmother and herself, she felt that Godwin would be furious, and even felt that what she was doing was a bit excessive.
Godwin saw Shen Jiang's dejected look.
It turned into another signal.
There was no expression on Godwin's face, but he felt a little touched in his heart. The original itchiness intensified and turned into another feeling that made him very uncomfortable.
"Look up."
The deep voice of the Black Dragon exploded beside his ears. Shen Jiang shuddered and couldn't help but feel annoyed at himself for being so absorbed in thinking about things.
