Chapter 12 . 2: To the Dragon Palace for a Free Ride
“Have you ever seen me joke with you?” Lan Ze’s face immediately turned cold .
Seeing that Lan Ze’s face tinged with indignance, the Dragon King quickly said in a shaky voice: “Lord Qilin, the Water Repelling Pearl is the most highly prized treasure to all of us here and it is representative of the Dragon Palace itself . If we are to give it to you, then what about the Dragon Palace?”
Lan Ze curled up one end of his lips in a contemptuous sneer . “Hmph . Of what use is the Water Repelling Pearl to water type spirit beasts like us? What kind of a representative treasure can it be for the Dragon Palace?”
“This… . . This… . . ” The Dragon King’s face was highly perplexed .
“What? Do you need me to do it myself?”
Lan Ze arched up an eyebrow and the aura of the divine beast flared out in that instant .
The Dragon King almost fell to his knees, his head bathed in cold sweat as he said: “Lord Qilin be appeased . I shall have it retrieved immediately . ”
Moments later, the Dragon King handed a black wooden block over to Lan Ze .
Lan Ze opened the box and a brilliant blue glow spilled out in an instant .
Lan Ze took out the Water Repelling Pearl and tossed it over to Duanmu Xi .
“Mistress, eat it . It will be useful to you . ”
[Mistress?]
The Dragon King was overcome with shock once again .
[Lord Qiling had actually become contracted . Just what is going on?]
Although there were a million and one questions in his heart, the Dragon King did not dare to let the words come out of his mouth .
Duanmu Xi nodded her head and ate the Water Repelling Pearl . Her body then glowed with that same brilliant blue light and it took a moment before Duanmu Xi felt that her breathing had become a whole lot smoother .
She no longer felt as if she was in the water but it was as if she was on land .
After Duanmu Xi took the Water Repelling Pearl, Lan Ze then turned to the Dragon King .
“We are going to the Wounded Unicorn Forest… . . ”
“I’ll take you there . ”
Before Lan Ze was able to finish, the Dragon King quickly interjected .
“Mm . ”
Lan Ze nodded, and gave the Dragon King a appreciative glance .
The Dragon King then turned himself into an enormous golden dragon, and carried Duanmu Xi and Lan Ze to the edge of the Wounded Unicorn Forest .
Lan Ze patted the Dragon King appreciatively on the shoulder . He then took out a water drop shaped jade pendant and handed it over to the Dragon King .
“Seeing that you’ve performed so well, I’ll give you this talisman . If you come to encounter any problem, crush the talisman and I’ll come to help you . ”
“Thank you Lord Qilin . ”
The Dragon King accepted the jade pendant in delight, thanking Lan Ze profusely .
Keeping the jade pendant safely away, the Dragon King then turned to Duanmu Xi and clasped his fingers over his fist . “How should I address this Lord here?”
“Duanmu Xi . ” Duanmu Xi answered with a polite nod .
“Lord Xi . ” The Dragon King bowed again, and then pulled out a storage ring to give to Duanmu Xi . “This is just a small token of appreciation and I beg that Lord Xi will accept it . ”
“This, I cannot accept it… . . ”
Duanmu Xi looked at the storage ring and immediately shook her head, wanting to refuse .
“Believe me . My Lord will come to need it . ”
The Dragon King said with a meaningful glance towards the ill fitting clothes on Duanmu Xi’s body .
Understanding the Dragon King’s meaning, Duanmu Xi’s eyes flashed with a glint and she nodded her head lightly . “I must then thank the Dragon King . ”
