Chapter 100: Are you getting old?
An unusually enthusiastic call suddenly popped up in his mind, and Quick's face froze. After observing that the dragons around him did not notice anything unusual, his tense nerves relaxed a little.
Quick didn't know what the human wanted to talk to him about, but considering that she didn't expose him just now, Quick went to the place the human mentioned as agreed.
He wanted to verify something, something that was crucial to him.
The two figures, one black and one purple, in the sky had long since disappeared. Thinking of what Zilong would face, Quick couldn't help but shook his head and silently lit a candle for him.
Shen Jiang sat under a large tree, waiting for Kuik to arrive, but she never saw the dragon. Instead, a young man with red hair and blue eyes appeared in her sight. Shen Jiang had excellent eyesight, and she could clearly see the boy's features from a distance. She couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the bold, deep features of Westerners. He had an unconcealable youthful energy, and his gait was even more steady than that of a teenager.
Shen Jiang's eyes gradually changed from admiration to confusion. Why was he walking towards her?
Quick transformed into human form simply because it allowed him to move more discreetly. He didn't want the other dragons to discover his little secret. His dragon form was several times larger than his human form, and if he arrived in dragon form, it would easily draw the dragon's attention. But in human form, he was faster, taking advantage of the shade of the trees and passing through like the wind.
Quick took a step forward and looked at the human who stood up because of his arrival. At this moment, she was only half a head shorter than him and did not need him to look down at her at all.
"Thank you for today," Quick said awkwardly.
Shen Jiang was completely confused, with a look of bewilderment on his face.
No, who are you, buddy?
Quick saw the human's defensive look, as if he were a stranger. He said in frustration, "Stop pretending, human."
Shen Jiang felt vaguely familiar with his address as "human." His red hair and blue eyes reminded her of someone. She tentatively asked, "Are you...Quick?"
"Yeah." The red-haired boy replied in a deep voice, "What do you want me to come over for?"
Shen Jiang covered her mouth with her hands as if she couldn't believe it: Who can tell her why a dragon can turn into a human? Are you kidding me?
Seeing the Contract Master's already round eyes widen, Quick suddenly seemed to realize something: "Don't you know that the dragon clan can also appear in human form?"
Shen Jiang, of course, had no idea. She was completely stunned by this piece of knowledge, which was beyond her comprehension. She felt a sense of astonishment that this was even possible. But this was a Western fantasy world, where magic existed. Why couldn't a dragon transform into a human?
She remembered that she had seen many humans coming to the golden dragon Kailan's place, and she thought they were all relatives and friends of the princess. So could it be that those people were actually transformed dragons?
In response to this question, Quick looked puzzled. "Of course, except for the princess, no human can enter the dragon's territory."
"So the humans in the Valley of the Wind just now were actually dragons?"
Quick was amused by the human's repeated reassurance. "Yes, they are all dragons. You didn't always think they were humans, did you?"
What a double standard...
"Then didn't I come too?" Shen Jiang seized this important loophole.
Shen Jiang hadn't expected her careless words to sting Quick's ears. It was as if she were reminding him of the painful memory of how Godwin had chastised him for looking down on humans. It was also as if she was reminding him that he was already this human's bonded disciple.
Quick's expression suddenly changed.
Sometimes Shen Jiang couldn't judge the dragon's joy, anger, sorrow or happiness by looking at its facial expressions, but it was different for the human form. Whatever the shota version of Quick was thinking was written all over his face, so the process of his face turning from white to red and then to black was very vivid and vivid.
Shen Jiang scratched his head, "Are you okay?"
Did you have an upset stomach?
Quick took a step back, "Why did you call me over here?"
Very good, the boy turned into a hedgehog. Shen Jiang looked at Quick with a hateful look on his face, and lamented that no matter whether they were dragons or humans, adolescent children were the same, at least three or four generations behind her.
She had no idea why Quick was suddenly angry, but that didn't matter.
"This valley belongs to you, right?"
Quick's vigilance slowly rose: Here it comes.
"What do you want to do?"
"This valley is quite nice! Do you want to make some extra money? I can give you more Philosopher's Stones than before..."
Sure enough, she had summoned him for other purposes. Quick was already furious, and after just the beginning, he lost his patience. Everything in the Valley of the Wind belonged to his parents and his brother, not just him. If a human bonded owner wanted the dragon's treasure or the magic berries, he had no right to make the decision without his permission.
"Don't think that I will completely submit to you just because you have something on me!" Quick said with a look of hatred on his face.
Shen Jiang: "Is there any misunderstanding between us?"
Why does the conversation seem to have broken down out of nowhere? Haven't these dragons always looked down on the herbs that grow near their habitats?
Quick turned his head away and said, "As long as you don't set your sights on Wind Valley, I'll do anything you ask me to do."
Before Shen Jiang could say anything, a dark shadow suddenly fell before him, creating a crater several dozen meters wide. Dust filled the air. The creature in the crater lay motionless, seemingly losing all resistance and passing out.
Godwin's huge black figure quickly swooped down from the air and landed in front of the two men.
"Ugly guy." Godwin commented on Quick's human appearance with extreme contempt.
Quick dared not speak out and silently gritted his teeth.
Shen Jiang didn't know what Kuik had done to make this ancestor unhappy. In short, it seemed that evil dragons were easily unhappy.
She tried to lighten the mood. "Lord Godwin is incredibly brave, no ordinary dragon can compare to him. Please don't argue with him."
"Come with me," Godwin gestured to the human, "I'll take you and tell the dragons that you are not only my most loyal follower, but also the bonded master of the wind dragon Queek. That way, no dragon will dare to look down on you anymore."
Quick's breath was choked, and all the blood in his body instantly flowed backwards.
Shen Jiang declined: "Lord Godwin, there is no need for this. I don't really care what those dragons think of me."
"But I do mind." Godwin's voice sounded a little angry, as if he would get angry at any moment.
Shen Jiang's forehead was dripping with sweat. Is this what it feels like when the emperor is not anxious to kill the eunuch? But what can she do? If she doesn't give Godwin face now, will Godwin get angry and beat her up?
Quick had long since lost all hope. Godwin was overbearing and tyrannical, while the human was treacherous and cunning. Yet, these two could overpower him. Suddenly, he was overcome with grief. If he had endured the greatest humiliation of his life six months ago, now, before him, a dragon and a human were discussing how to expose this wound to the world.
Shen Jiang looked at Quick with a sad face, and probably knew what he was thinking. He had tried his best to ask him to keep the secret before, and he must be very scared now.
Shen Jiang told him in her heart: Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone know that you are my disciple.
Quick looked up at her in surprise.
Shen Jiang racked his brains but couldn't find a way to stop Godwin. Seeing that the boy's face full of grief and anger turned into a chubby face, he finally had an idea.
"Lord Godwin, I just learned today that dragons can take human form. I'm sure your human form must be incredibly majestic. I wonder if I could have the honor of catching a glimpse of you."
Quick: “…”
This is a good idea that humans came up with, but it’s really...
It's terrible.
Who would be distracted by such a blunt topic like hers?
Who would have thought that Godwin had actually forgotten about the Red Dragon? His expression froze for a moment, then he said anxiously, "I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to discuss with the Silver Dragon. I need to go over there right away."
Godwin came and went like the wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. No matter how stupid Shen Jiang was, he knew that he had escaped, but why?
Shen Jiang turned his head to look at Quick, who raised his chin awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect you to actually succeed, but I still can't hand over the Valley of the Wind to you."
He added awkwardly, "Except for this, I can agree to any condition you have."
Shen Jiang finally had the chance to finish his words: "Let's cut to the chase. I asked you to come here so I could show you some herbs. Look at this, this, and this... These are the herbs I need. Please help me sort them out and I'll come get them when the time comes. Don't worry, I'll give you five magic stones as a reward."
Quick stared blankly at the ordinary plants she had picked for demonstration, and for a moment he forgot what to say.
"What do you want with these useless weeds?"
Shen Jiang naturally didn't need to tell any lies to her disciple, but she wouldn't be so foolish as to tell him too much. If he revealed everything to Godwin, she would be finished.
"Didn't you just say you were willing to agree to any conditions? I just want these weeds that are useless to you. Remember, don't leave any behind. Collect them all for me."
Quick looked at her expressionless face and confirmed that she really just wanted the weeds outside the valley... He felt a mixture of emotions.
On the other side, Godwin found the silver dragon Perrin.
He was not lying, but he really had something to talk to Perrin about.
Perrin looked at Godwin lovingly. "You said you wanted a device that could communicate across regions? Why go to all that trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just make that human your bonded disciple?"
Godwin's dark face was so dark it was hard to tell if he was blushing. He said stubbornly, "Who said I did this for her? Besides, she's not qualified to be my disciple."
"Oh?" Silver Dragon said with a half-smile, "I thought it was because the dragon race never intermarries with their pact disciples, so you didn't want to sign a contract with her."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Godwin was furious. "I just don't want to be unable to summon my followers when something happens. If you can't do it, then forget it!"
Silver Dragon looked at Godwin with a doting look in his eyes. "Godwin, ordinary space props can't let you find her at any time. How about this, give me half a month, and I'll find a way to tailor a magic prop for you that can communicate without obstacles."
Godwin looked at him with some sympathy: "Perrin..."
"Um?"
"Are you old?"
Perrin was so angry that he laughed. He had kindly intended to make him a magic prop that could communicate across time and space, but this kid turned the tables and complained about his age.
