Chapter 39 Gem "Dragon is awesome".
Yue Mingxi tragically discovered that she seemed to have been treated as Black Dragon's possession.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break the barrier of the cave.
Sitting on a rock, Yue Mingxi held needles formed by magic in both hands, weaving white gauze with Heavenly Lotus Silk, extremely distressed.
Weaving Tianlian silk requires skillful needlework, which Xiaomi taught her. Skillful needlework is extremely tedious and complicated. Tianlian silk is extremely fine, and weaving it requires a great deal of patience.
Since returning from the snow-capped mountains, Yuemingxi has been weaving for a month, but most of it is still unfinished.
Yue Mingxi sighed softly. At this rate, she wondered if she would be able to finish weaving before she died.
Wu Shanqing has disappeared again. Even if she finishes weaving it, will she be able to deliver this surprise to Wu Shanqing?
"Don't think too much, just start weaving," Yue Mingxi encouraged herself, burying herself in her work.
When she was at home, she always had to be careful to avoid Wushanqing, which would slow down her weaving speed considerably.
During the week she was trapped in the cave and couldn't get out, Yue Mingxi wove the amount she had done in the past half month.
As she knitted, Yuemingxi became melancholy, wondering where Wushanqing had gone.
She disappeared for a week. What if Wu Shanqing came home halfway through and found her gone?
The black dragon, oblivious to her sorrow, simply kept presenting her with the mangled remains of tree roots, howling pitifully.
Yue Mingxi helplessly reached out and rubbed his huge head. "Silly Longlong, it's not your fault. These tree roots are just too awful to eat. We can't swallow them at all."
Black Dragon tilted his head and stared at her, it was unclear whether he understood or not.
Yue Mingxi looked at him intently and began her daily question again, "Longlong, are you really Wu Shanqing? The aura on you feels so familiar."
Black Dragon ignored her words and continued to roar at the tree root remains.
Yue Mingxi watched his actions with a laugh, "Longlong, why are you so hung up on whether I eat the tree root or not? The way you are, I'm even more suspicious that you are Wushanqing."
Wu Shanqing would also boil tree root soup for her every day on time and stay by her side to watch her drink it.
The only difference is that the root soup made from Wushanqing is sweet, like drinking sweet water.
However, she hadn't had the tree root soup that Wu Shanqing had made for her for a week, and she was still quite unaccustomed to it.
Looking up at the black dragon, Yue Mingxi fell into deep thought.
She now believes that Heilong is 80% likely to be Wushanqing, but she cannot be completely sure yet. Who can be completely sure?
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the Moonlit Creek.
She remembered that the first time she learned that the little snake was Wushan Qing, it was Abbot Yunci who told her.
Then Abbot Yunci should also know whether Wushanqing is a black dragon.
Yue Mingxi's eyes lit up, and she softly called out to Xiao Mi.
Xiao Mi likes to sleep, and unless there is something very urgent, Yue Mingxi rarely calls Xiao Mi. Most of the time, Xiao Mi will crawl out of her storage bag to find her after she has slept enough.
Xiao Mi rubbed her eyes, yawned, and floated out happily. "Master, you called me. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Tilting her head and looking around, Xiao Mi's red eyes widened. "Master, what are you doing here? It's so dark here."
Black Dragon paused, staring at them with a stiff expression.
Little Mi was startled and quickly flew behind Yue Mingxi, clinging to her shoulders with her two small, dark arms. She cautiously peeked out with her little black head and stammered:
"Oh my god, it's a dragon! There are actually dragons in the world! Aren't dragons only in legends? Master, why are you with a dragon? Will it hurt you? Where's the master? Where did he go? Will it eat us?"
The black dragon approached them and roared anxiously.
Yue Mingxi hesitated. Ever since Wu Shanqing made a high-end storage bag for Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi had been calling Wu Shanqing "Master".
But every time Xiaomi mentions this nickname, Yue Mingxi's face burns, as she always feels like she's taking advantage of Wu Shanqing.
Clearing her throat, Yue Mingxi said softly, "I don't know where Wu Shanqing went either. I'm looking for him too. I called Xiaomi out because I wanted to ask her if I could use the technique you mentioned in the Bamboo Forest Palace to bring my soul into Foyun Temple. I have a few questions for Abbot Yunci."
Xiao Mi is a sentient being born from an ancient artifact by chance. It should only exist in the realm of illusion. Although Yue Mingxi brought it back to reality after recognizing it as her master, Xiao Mi cannot stray too far from Yue Mingxi. Once it leaves, Xiao Mi will lose consciousness.
If Yue Mingxi wants to ask Abbot Yunci, she must find a way to do it herself.
Wu Shanqing had told her that Yun Ci was second only to him in status.
Yue Mingxi thought, "Yun Ci is so powerful, he should be able to see her soul, right?"
Xiao Mi blinked her red eyes and said proudly, "That move is Xiao Mi's unique bewitching technique. It's possible, but I'm afraid my master might be in danger."
Yue Mingxi smiled and said, "No, I will take good care of myself."
"Has Master made a decision?" Xiao Mi tilted her head and looked at her.
Yue Mingxi nodded seriously. "I need to confirm whether the black dragon is Wu Shanqing. If it is not, I need to find a way to find Wu Shanqing."
Little Mi stared wide-eyed at the enormous black dragon, dumbfounded, and said, "This...is this the male master? Wasn't the male master's original form a little black snake?"
Yue Mingxi looked up at Xiao Mi and said, "When you send my soul to the temple, could you take me home first? I want to see if Wu Shanqing is home."
“Yes, Master.” Xiao Mi said, circling around Yue Mingxi. “Master, when do you want to start? Tell Xiao Mi and I will start immediately.”
“Okay,” Yue Mingxi smiled, “Thank you, Xiao Mi.”
After putting the half-finished white gauze back into her storage pouch, Yue Mingxi reached out and rubbed the black dragon with both hands, saying, "Dragon, I'm going to sleep in a bit, don't worry about me, I'll wake up soon."
The black dragon roared twice and offered its head to her for amusement.
Yueming Creek nodded to Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, let's begin."
"Okay," Xiao Mi agreed, but still couldn't help but worry, "Master, you must protect your soul well, because it is very painful to be injured."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, Xiaomi," Yue Mingxi said, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
Seeing that her master was determined to leave, Xiao Mi reached out and hugged Yue Mingxi. "Master, you must take good care of yourself. I will take you home for a quarter of an hour first, and then take you to Foyun Temple for another quarter of an hour. If it goes on for too long, I'm afraid your soul will be hurt."
"Don't worry, Xiao Mi," Yue Mingxi reassured her.
As Yue Mingxi finished speaking, she was surprised to find that her soul flew out of her body.
The next second, the scene changed, and Yue Mingxi returned to the dilapidated courtyard.
The soul eagerly floated up in the courtyard, searching it thoroughly, but Yue Mingxi did not see Wu Shanqing, or even a single word left by him.
Since the soul cannot grasp objects, Yue Mingxi had no choice but to give up writing a letter to Wu Shanqing.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and when she opened her eyes again, Yue Mingxi was back at Foyun Temple.
She arrived just in time; Abbot Yunci was sweeping up fallen leaves.
As Yue Mingxi impatiently drifted over, she was also worried about whether Abbot Yun Ci would be able to see her.
Setting down the broom, Yun Ci clasped her hands together and said, "Miss Yue, is there something urgent that you have come in spirit form?"
Yue Mingxi's eyes lit up with joy; Yun Ci could indeed see her.
After settling down, Yue Mingxi bowed and said anxiously, "Abbot, I encountered a black dragon and was trapped in a cave for a week. His aura and behavior are very familiar. Wu Shanqing has also disappeared at this time. My intuition tells me that the black dragon is Wu Shanqing. Can you please enlighten me? If it is not him, I need to find a way to find Wu Shanqing."
With a "snap," Yun Ci's prayer beads fell to the ground, the string broke, and the beads scattered all over the ground.
Yue Mingxi quickly squatted down and subconsciously tried to help Yun Ci pick it up, but in her soul form, Yue Mingxi's hand went straight through the bead and she couldn't pick it up at all.
"Miss Yue, I can pick it up myself later." Yun Ci quickly stopped her.
"Okay." Yue Mingxi smiled and stood up.
Looking down at Yue Mingxi, Yun Ci asked, "Miss Yue, has Xiao Wu gone missing? How long has it been missing?"
Yue Mingxi said softly, "She's been missing for eight days."
After casting a spell and placing the prayer beads in her palm, Yun Ci slowly said, "Miss Yue, that black dragon is Wu Shan Qing. He is the only dragon in the world."
After Wu Shanqing regained his human form, he confronted him and settled the score. Yun Ci accepted it, but he simply couldn't bear to watch Yue Mingxi worrying about him while knowing the truth.
Yue Mingxi's eyes widened. No wonder the barrier she set up was so easily broken by the Black Dragon when they first met, and she still couldn't break through the Black Dragon's barrier. So, the Black Dragon was Wu Shanqing.
She pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask, "Master, I remember that Wu Shanqing's original form in the maze was a cute little black snake."
Yue Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Shanqing hadn't disappeared. That was wonderful.
Yun Ci smiled and said, "That's Xiao Wu's super-juvenile prototype. Its horns and claws haven't grown yet, so it looks like a snake."
Yun Ci looked at Yue Mingxi and asked, "Miss Yue, you said you've been trapped in the cave all this time?"
Yue Mingxi nodded. "He set up a barrier, so I can't get out at all. Does the abbot have any ideas?"
Yun Ci shook her head helplessly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Yue, I'm also helpless against Xiao Wu's barrier."
"It's alright, host, you've already helped me a lot." Yue Mingxi smiled and said goodbye, "Host, I can only stay here for a quarter of an hour. My time is almost up, so I'll be leaving now."
Yun Ci called out to her, "Miss Yue, Xiao Wu has just come of age, and due to some things that happened in the past, he is unable to control his dragon form. Once he transforms into a dragon, Xiao Wu will lose consciousness. I will rush over immediately and try to awaken his consciousness so that he can release you."
Yue Mingxi said gratefully, "Thank you, host. We are at Yuancang Mountain."
“It’s what I should do,” Yun Cici said kindly.
Watching Yue Mingxi's soul disappear on the spot, Yun Ci looked uneasily at the Buddhist beads in her hand.
A broken Buddhist prayer bead is not a good thing.
Yun Ci frowned. He remembered that after Xiao Wu transformed into dragon form, it would quickly revert to human form.
This time, the dragon form actually lasted for a week. What exactly happened to His Highness the Divine Lord?
Yun Ci's eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper as she flew towards the distant Cangshan Mountain.
Upon regaining consciousness, Yue Mingxi had returned to her physical body.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Yue Mingxi felt like she was going to be blinded by the light.
When the black dragon saw that she was awake, it nuzzled her affectionately.
Countless dazzling gems surround Moonlit Creek, filling the entire cave with sparkling gems.
The once dark and uninteresting cave became as bright as day.
Yue Mingxi rubbed her eyes, looked down, and found herself sleeping in a huge pile of gems, which were almost completely engulfing her.
The black dragon roared excitedly at her.
Yue Mingxi instantly understood what was going on. Heilong had heard Xiao Mi say that the cave was dark, and then, while she was sleeping, he turned it upside down.
Looking at the black dragon that was leaning close to her for praise, Yue Mingxi's eyes were full of smiles. She patted the black dragon's head and said with a beaming smile, "Great job, dragon is great!"
