Chapter 337 Compensation (1)
"It's actually possible!" Ji Rong exclaimed happily, "Then, elder brother, will you still need to use the source of power if you exercise authority again?"
Jiaojue handed the four small dragons to Ji Rong and said, "I can command them directly, but they will still need to use some source streams."
"Hahaha!" Ji Rong suddenly tilted his head back and laughed loudly, "Big brother, you look like you've given birth to four babies, but it's not too strenuous."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue's face darkened, and he clenched his teeth.
Ji Rong looked the four little dragons up and down. She pinched the tail of one with its wings and claws, poked the head of another, and touched their claws before triumphantly calling out to them, "Hey, you're so small, but you've got quite the big mouth."
Then, she took out the three and a half fruits again and gave one to Yilong.
Whenever it comes to the distribution of benefits, people are more concerned about scarcity than inequality.
Unsurprisingly, the little blue dragon, who had only received half a fruit again, became enraged upon seeing Ji Rong's favoritism. He roared, "How dare you! You stupid bird, how could you be so biased and only give me half!"
Ji Rong pointed at the little blue dragon with his wing claws, winked at Jiao Jue and said with a smile, "Big brother, this little dragon has just been born and it's already imitating you by calling me a silly bird. It's too bold. To prevent it from causing trouble in the future, big brother, you should hang it up and spank it to teach it a lesson!"
Jiao Jue held the little blue dragon upside down, and Ji Rong was even happier. She looked at it from left to right and then asked, "Big brother, are they considered independent now?"
Jiao Jue shook his head and said, "Not yet."
"Sigh." Ji Rong immediately deflated and said, "You still say it's not a loss? What's the difference between this and before?"
Jiao Jue squinted and smiled, "The difference is huge."
In the past, I was the embodiment of authority; now, they are my alter egos.
Although they cannot use spiritual energy alone, nor can they grow like true gods, they can now utilize some spiritual energy thanks to Youhe's body.
As he spoke, he sighed, "The ancient gods were constantly at odds with each other, no wonder the ape-faced fish clan was driven to extinction."
"Rainbow Bird, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to finish this."
Then, Jiao Jue bowed to Ji Rong with its claws clasped, saying, "Thank you!"
Ji Rong was overjoyed to see Jiao Jue suddenly bow down while talking. She flapped her wings repeatedly and covered her beak, which was grinning from ear to ear, with one wing, saying, "Brother, you're too kind. Not at all."
The fact that the power of the horned jade had successfully separated into its own body made Qingpingzi feel that it was of great research value.
He not only warmly invited Jiaojue to stay at Yunya as a guest, but also plundered many treasures that he hadn't seen enough of when he first arrived at the cave, and built a large cloud room just for Jiaojue.
Given Qingpingzi's warm hospitality, Jiaojue naturally couldn't refuse and stayed.
Qingpingzi and Jiaojue sat on the lotus platform day and night, deducing the details of this power transformation. Ji Rong listened to them several times, but she became impatient and wanted to go through the details with them alone. She flapped her wings and went to the gate of Yuxu Palace to find Qing Guanzi.
Ji Rong had kept the promise of compensation from Qing Guanzi in mind, and that's why she came knocking on his door.
Arriving outside Qing Guanzi's simple earthen cave dwelling, Ji Rong channeled her spiritual energy into her throat, stretched her neck, and shouted into the cave, "Senior Brother Guanshan, come out quickly!"
After calling out several times, Qing Guanzi didn't come out, but the Great Serpent Formation cultivator, She Shu, did.
Upon seeing Ji Rong, she immediately stopped respectfully, lowered her head, and said with concern, "Uncle-Master Qing Ji Zi, you have come at an inopportune time. Uncle-Master Guan Shan has not been feeling well since he returned. He has not been eating or drinking and is currently resting in his cave."
"Hmph." Ji Rong rolled her eyes, spread her wings and then stuck them back on her back, saying, "Who told him to be so old and still not learn to behave, wanting to attend the Yuanjun's Nightlight Banquet."
"Nephew She Shu, you should know about Yuanjun's banquet, right?"
She Shu grinned and said, "I haven't been there, but I've heard of it."
Ji Rong thought to herself, "Damn it, it seems I'm the only one who didn't know."
She exclaimed, "Since you know, you know why he's feeling unwell. Don't worry, your Uncle Guanshan won't die. Take me to see him."
As soon as Ji Rong and She Shu entered the earthen cave in Qingguanzi, they smelled a rich aroma of roasted meat.
As Ji Rong inhaled the aroma of the bewitching bird's meat, she wiped away the drool that had accidentally dripped from its beak as it opened and closed its beak with her wings and claws. She exclaimed, "Nephew She Shu, even Senior Brother Guan Shan can't eat, so why is he still roasting meat?"
She Shu sighed, "You'll understand when you see it."
Then, they walked through the passageway and found Qing Guanzi, who was sitting on the side, breathing heavily but looking listless, at the deepest part of the cave.
Although both were Saints, Yuan Xiu Ke Ben, who was only a junior disciple, was serving Qing Guan Zi with a sense of frustration.
There were many spiritual meats and vegetables laid out on the ground, and a small stove was placed next to it, with spiritual fire burning inside, the fire crystal as the base.
Ke Ben held the spirit meat and turned it over and over as if he were forging iron. After roasting one piece, he piled it up next to the stove. Ji Rong watched as the cooked meat piled up as high as a small mound.
Ji Rong immediately stretched out a wing claw, took a piece of the prepared spirit meat, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Then she kept picking up meat with her wings and claws. After she had stuffed all the cooked meat, along with the spirit vegetable leaves, into her food bag, she patted her wings and claws with satisfaction and said, "Junior Nephew Ke Ben, I didn't expect that you not only have such good iron skills, but also such good roasting skills. Roast some more, your uncle will love it."
Ke Ben glanced at Ji Rong, nodded, and continued grilling.
Ji Rong then stomped hard on Qing Guanzi's neck with her foot and shouted, "Senior brother, get up! Stop pretending to be dead!"
Kiyoko replied weakly, "Kiyoko, you've already eaten the meat, what do you need me for?"
Ji Rong initially wanted to ask Qing Guanzi for compensation directly, but looking at the ever-energetic Qing Guanzi, she felt a little worried.
He then asked, "Senior Brother Guanshan, I see that your energy is still strong, so why do you look like you're half dead?"
Logically, you are a dragon, so you could go eight or ten years without eating or drinking and be fine. How come you've ended up in this state after only a few dozen days?
Qing Guanzi waved his hand at Ke Ben and She Shu beside him and said, "You two go ahead and do your work. I'll chat with Qing Jizi for a while. I'll come out and call you when I'm ready."
Upon hearing this, Ke Ben immediately nodded.
Goodness, these past few days, he's been hunched over in this cramped cave, roasting meat and pouring water. It's been incredibly uncomfortable, and he's been wanting to leave for ages.
Ke Ben, holding onto the still worried She Shu, bowed and took his leave.
After they closed the cave door, Ji Rong plopped down by the fire and started turning over the meat. She said, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh," Qing Guanzi said embarrassedly, "I got too caught up in the fun at the Nightlight Banquet and ate a bit too much."
But Youhe couldn't go on, so I rushed back. The mud and grime she hadn't vomited up were still inside her, making her feel nauseous and unable to eat for days.
