Volume 1 Chapter 277 Ice Dragon Blessing
Zhu Jingjing's body froze. Xiang Yun's sudden seriousness made her feel a little overwhelmed. After a while, she saw that Xiang Yun had no intention of letting go, so she nodded and said awkwardly, "Okay."
Only then did Xiang Yun let her go and turned around to continue walking forward; Zhu Jingjing rubbed her shoulders, followed behind and thought awkwardly for a while before asking again: "But why?"
Xiang Yun asked casually: "Why?"
Zhu Jingjing mustered up the courage to ask, "Didn't you say that we no longer owe each other anything? Why did you still want to kill the dragon-eating eagle for me? After all, this involves risking your life."
"I've said that I love charity and I like people who are brave enough to do what is right!" Xiang Yun laughed and said casually, "After all, there is a little girl crying behind me. As a man, it would be wrong not to do something."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingjing blushed, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Xiang Yun also fell into silence. He was now playing hard to get and being aloof, so he would never take the initiative. The more silent he was, the taller and more mysterious his image would be in the mind of the Dragon Girl, which would arouse her curiosity and cause her to ask questions actively.
The two walked and stopped on the mountain, climbing over one mountain after another. During this time, the dragon girl kept asking questions. It seemed that she was just casually chatting with Xiang Yun, but in fact she wanted to know more about Xiang Yun to satisfy her curiosity.
Xiang Yun answered intentionally or unintentionally, but his mind was always on the surrounding scenery and the sky. He needed to identify the direction to determine his current location.
Soon the sun set in the west. Xiang Yun found a stream and started collecting firewood to make a fire. He then took a thin branch, sharpened one end, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, and walked into the stream to look for fat fish.
This inexplicable scene confused Zhu Jingjing. After hesitating for a while, she asked curiously, "Are you going to catch fish?"
Xiang Yun spread his hands and said, "Isn't this obvious?"
Zhu Jingjing frowned even more upon hearing this. After thinking for a while, she asked in a low voice, "But, since you have such a high level of cultivation, wouldn't it be more convenient to catch fish with spiritual energy?"
Then Zhu Jingjing raised her hand and gently slapped the stream in the distance. Suddenly, the place where the fish were in the stream exploded, and a large amount of stream water was splashed onto the shore. At the same time, two fat crucian carp were also blown up and kept flapping their wings on the shore.
Xiang Yun put down the wooden pole in his hand without thinking, and walked to Zhu Jingjing. When she was puzzled and even looked like she wanted to laugh, he raised his hand and hit her on the forehead!
"Ah~ It hurts!" Zhu Jingjing quickly covered her forehead, stared at Xiang Yun fiercely, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing!"
Xiang Yun said unhappily, "How can life be fun if you do this? Don't you think life is too boring if you force yourself to do things this way?"
Xiang Yun then walked over to the two crucian carps, picked them up and threw them into the stream, saying, "These fish are tasteless."
Watching the two fish go away, Xiang Yun continued to walk back to where he was, picked up the wooden pole and prepared to spear the fish. In less than a minute, he stabbed a crucian carp that was fatter than the two fish just now. He then held it high up and laughed, "Fish caught in this way are the most delicious to eat. The aftertaste is endless!"
Zhu Jingjing frowned and watched Xiang Yun's inexplicable actions. She was very confused and didn't understand why Xiang Yun did this. But when she saw Xiang Yun squatting down to deal with the internal organs after catching only one fish, Zhu Jingjing was stunned and ran over to ask, "Why don't you continue catching? This is just one fish, not enough to eat?"
Xiang Yun raised his head and asked knowingly, "It's enough. My stomach is small, so one fish is enough to fill me up. So there's no need to catch more."
"Ah, this?" Zhu Jingjing really wanted to say that she hadn't caught the fish yet, but the words stopped at her lips. Xiang Yun was not a fool. It was obvious that he didn't let her catch the fish on purpose. If she still asked, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
After thinking about it, Zhu Jingjing picked up the wooden pole that Xiang Yun dropped, and ran into the stream. She imitated Xiang Yun and began to aim at catching fish, without any intention of using her spiritual power.
Xiang Yun smiled knowingly when he saw this scene, and thought to himself: "The fish has taken the bait!"
Spearing fish is a skill-intensive activity. If one does not use any spiritual power, it is a pipe dream for a novice to catch a nimble fish in a stream in a short period of time. Only by trying a few more times and mastering the technique and feel, will one have a chance.
Sure enough, Zhu Jingjing held her breath and tried twice, but both times failed. She couldn't help but feel discouraged. Just as she was about to try again, Xiang Yun attacked!
Xiang Yun casually walked to Zhu Jingjing's side and said to her as if teaching her, "There are skills to spearing fish. You will never hit the target if you just force it!"
"Due to the refraction of light, the fish seen on the water surface is a virtual image, which is higher than the actual position of the fish. Facing the fish, it feels like the fish is about three feet from the water surface, so the fork must be at least four feet deep!"
As Xiang Yun was talking, he approached from behind, gently hugged Zhu Jingjing, and held her hands tightly, but his eyes were fixed on the fat fish in the stream ahead;
Such an act of taking advantage of her was treated as serious by him. Zhu Jingjing was panicked and just wanted to break free, but Xiang Yun immediately whispered, "Don't move, let me teach you!"
Zhu Jingjing had no choice but to give up struggling and let Xiang Yun hold her. Then she kept comforting herself in her heart: "He just wanted to spear the fish. I was overthinking it. Yes, that's right. This man looks so upright. How could he deliberately tease me!"
While Zhu Jingjing was daydreaming, Xiang Yun grabbed her hands and forked them hard. Zhu Jingjing could clearly feel that he had forked something, but before she could react, Xiang Yun immediately let her go and stepped aside.
At the same time, Zhu Jingjing took out the wooden pole and found that there was indeed a fat crucian carp on it, which was still shaking on the wooden pole.
Seeing this, Zhu Jingjing couldn't help but be overjoyed. The previous embarrassment was swept away, and she said excitedly: "It's amazing, how did you do it?"
Soon, the two of them sat around the campfire and roasted each other's fat fish in silence. Xiang Yun's eyes were always on the fish, while Zhu Jingjing's eyes were always on Xiang Yun's face.
There was another period of silence. Zhu Jingjing still couldn't stand the loneliness and asked first, "Oh, right, there is one thing that I have always wondered about. You are obviously a human, so how come you have the blood of a golden dragon flowing in your body? This is the first time I have seen such a thing, let alone heard of it."
Xiang Yun was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, "You are a member of the dragon clan. Can I still say that I have drunk a large amount of dragon blood and absorbed the energy of an entire dragon ball?"
If I really said that, I'm afraid Zhu Jingjing would chop me to pieces on the spot and eat her own people. What's the difference between that and a dragon-eating eagle?
Xiang Yun's brain was working rapidly. He thought of an excuse and said, "I met an elder of your dragon clan in a place called Broken Dragon Mountain a year ago. He was dying at that time, but he still had a wish that he had not fulfilled, so he entrusted it to me."
Zhu Jingjing frowned upon hearing this. Seeing that Xiang Yun had no more to say, she asked, "Then what? How does this relate to the golden dragon bloodline in you?"
Xiang Yun smiled awkwardly and said self-deprecatingly: "It's ridiculous, but according to that senior, it is the last five-clawed golden dragon in the world, and it is the wish entrusted to me."
At this point, Xiang Yun couldn't help but look at Zhu Jingjing, then smiled and said, "It means that I will marry a dragon girl in this life and give birth to a child, so that the bloodline of the five-clawed golden dragon can continue and this race will not disappear from this world."
Zhu Jingjing was stunned when she heard this, and then felt Xiang Yun's burning gaze. Her face turned red instantly, as if she had thought of something.
Xiang Yun continued, "In order to do this, the elder of the dragon clan transformed his dragon ball into the purest energy and injected it into my body. He then used his own dragon blood to change my bloodline, thus preserving the bloodline of the five-clawed golden dragon through my body.
It is because of this that every time I move my hands and feet, I hear the roar of dragons and the stirring of dragon souls; but it is ridiculous to say that since then, I have never seen any other dragons in the world, and I thought that the wish entrusted by the elders of the dragon clan would never be fulfilled in this lifetime. "
Then Xiang Yun actually looked directly into Zhu Jingjing's eyes and said sincerely: "I don't know if it was God's arrangement that made me meet you that day!"
How could Zhu Jingjing stand such sweet words? She turned her back and took deep breaths, then fanned her cheeks with her little hands to cool down.
After a long time, Zhu Jingjing still didn't turn around, but asked in a small voice: "Is this why you saved me, to be with me?"
"Of course not!" Xiang Yun decisively refused: "After all, I was in a desperate situation that day, and I didn't know if I could survive before that. After all, the dead can't carry on the family line, right?"
That was enough. The sweet seeds had been planted. Xiang Yun changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I have said so much, and I just happen to have many questions to ask you. It is really hard to see the dragon race in this world anymore. What happened to your race that you disappeared so completely?"
Xiang Yun didn't want to talk anymore, but Zhu Jingjing had kept that sentence in mind, so she answered casually: "I don't know about this either, but all of us in the Ice Dragon Clan now live in the Ice Dragon Realm and rarely come out. This time, the princess came out to get a precious medicine called Ice Dragon Grass, and she can't stay in the outside world for too long before she has to go back to the Ice Dragon Realm."
Xiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. Xiao Long Nu wanted to leave? He would not agree to this. He absolutely could not let this guy run away!
Just as Xiang Yun was thinking this, Zhu Jingjing beside him murmured in a startling voice: "The Five-clawed Golden Dragon Clan is the royal family among the dragon clans. In fact, combining with the Golden Dragon Clan is a blessing for our Ice Dragon Clan."
When Xiang Yun heard this, he almost laughed out loud, and secretly said in his heart that he couldn't stand it. My goodness, such a beautiful woman threw herself into his arms, should he accept her or not?
If I accept it now, would it be too hasty and make the girl feel that I am not reserved and upright enough? But if I don’t accept it, am I still a man?
