Chapter 239 - To Play The Long Game (4)
"Big Brother, I'll get you a few more dragons to contract in a few days," Leng Ruoxue said. Those dragons were a little ugly, but they were pretty strong and usable.
"Xue'er, Big White and his family are enough for me." Leng Ruohan smiled, his face full of satisfaction.
"They are not divine beasts yet. Big Brother has to have a divine beast no matter what," Leng Ruoxue said very seriously. Their opponents would become stronger and stronger in the future, so the strength of their beasts was extremely important.
"Okay, Big Brother will listen to Xue'er," Leng Ruohan said helplessly, his face full of affection.
"Xue'er, you naughty girl, where did you go?" Leng Qingtian's angry roar suddenly appeared in Leng Ruoxue's mind.
"Haha, Big Brother, Grandpa and the others finally realized that we left." Leng Ruoxue smiled happily.
"Get the three old men to come out as well, lest they be too anxious," Leng Ruohan said very kindly with a similarly happy smile on his face.
"Okay, Grandpa, come out!" Leng Ruoxue said to the few anxious old men in the space.
"Xue'er, you naughty girl." Leng Qingtian glared at his granddaughter with wide eyes, wanting to bore a hole through her.
"That's right. Ruoxue, how could you abandon us?" Lin Liang said with a sad face.
"Stop acting. I won't fall for it." Leng Ruoxue steeled herself and turned her face away.
"Alas! We are old and despised by the little girl," Old Man said sadly with a heavy sigh.
"Stop. Okay, I'm afraid of you. What do you want? Tell me!" Leng Ruoxue raised her hands in surrender. She was impressed by these three old men. They would stop at nothing until they achieved their goal!
"Xue'er, Ruohan's injuries have healed. Shouldn't we celebrate?" Leng Qingtian probed, his face full of anticipation.
"How do you want to celebrate, Grandpa?" Leng Ruoxue asked, pretending not to understand. She knew that these old men were greedy.
"Ruoxue, do you still have python meat?" Lin Liang asked as he swallowed his saliva gently.
"Do you want to eat it?"
"Yes, yes." Three pairs of expectant eyes stared at Leng Ruoxue.
Leng Ruoxue stopped teasing them and said straightforwardly, "Then let's go out and eat!"
"Okay." The three old men had no objections. As long as they could eat, the location was not important.
Leng Ruoxue sent them back into the Heaven and Earth Bracelet and then left the wooden house.
After arriving at the valley where she had advanced last time, Leng Ruoxue released everyone and the beasts from the bracelet.
Feng Da walked to Leng Ruoxue and said as if he was presenting a treasure, "Miss, I have another python here."
"Just right. There are so many people and beasts, so I was thinking it might not be enough." Leng Ruoxue gave Feng Da some instructions and then entered the bracelet.
"Qing Jue, where's the little mink?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
"He's guarding the fire lotus."
"…"
After hearing what Qing Jue said, Leng Ruoxue went to the field where the fire lotus was planted. As expected, she saw the little silver mink lying motionlessly in front of the fire lotus. Seeing this, she felt a little uncomfortable. Doesn't this little mink like to stick to me the most? Is this fire lotus female?
"Little mink, what are you doing here?" Leng Ruoxue questioned in annoyance.
"Xue'er, you're here." The little silver mink looked up at Leng Ruoxue and then lowered his little head to stare at the fire lotus.
"Do you intend to stay here forever?" Leng Ruoxue said with some jealousy. But she didn't even realize in the slightest that she was jealous of the fire lotus.
"It's very important," the little silver mink whispered while praying in his heart. Grow up quickly! As long as it could grow into a thousand-year-old fire lotus, he would be able to revive.
"It is very important, but you don't have to stay here. Qing Jue will take care of it." Leng Ruoxue suppressed her anger. Of course, she knew how important the fire lotus was. But for some reason, seeing this little mink guarding this place made her uncomfortable.
"Xue'er, what's wrong?" The little silver mink was puzzled. Why is Xue'er angry?
"You are not allowed to stay here," Leng Ruoxue ordered as she picked up the little mink lying on the ground.
"Oh!" the little silver mink answered softly. Boohoo… Does Xue'er dislike me? His imagination began to run wild again.
Leng Ruoxue left the bracelet with the little mink in her arms. After going out, she saw that everyone was almost ready.
"Miss, this is for you." Feng Da handed Leng Ruoxue a piece of cleaned meat.
"Thank you." Leng Ruoxue sat on the ground with the little mink in her arms and began grilling the meat on the fire.
"Big Sister, Baby wants to eat too," Baby said coquettishly while snuggling up to Leng Ruoxue.
"It's not done yet. Don't worry," Leng Ruoxue coaxed. She gently caressed Baby's soft fur and sighed in her heart. Why are my beasts so cute?
After she grilled the meat, she distributed the meat to the mink and Baby.
"Be careful. It's hot," Leng Ruoxue quickly reminded Baby as she watched him wolf down the food.
"Why aren't you eating?" Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze to the little mink in her arms.
"I want you to feed me!" The little silver mink pouted his pink lips and acted coquettishly. But he kept repeating to himself in his heart, Xue'er won't hate me. She won't!
"Open your mouth!" Leng Ruoxue helplessly tore off a small piece of meat and brought it to the little mink's mouth to coax him.
"It smells so good." The little silver mink licked his lips happily and rubbed his fluffy little face against Leng Ruoxue's beautiful face in satisfaction.
Leng Ruoxue rubbed the little mink's soft fur. When she saw the little thing's satisfied expression, her depressed mood just now was swept away.
Everyone sat together happily. After they had their fill, Leng Ruoxue sent them all back to the Heaven and Earth Bracelet and returned to the Phoenix clan's territory alone.
After returning to the Phoenix clan, Leng Ruoxue went straight to Feng Zhan.
