Chapter 115 -114 Anxious and Frustrated

“Gah?”

Upon hearing Russell’s request for it to breathe dragonflame, the Little Dream Dragon immediately stiffened its neck, and with a determined gaze, issued a definitive denial, “Gah!”

Every time it breathed out dragonflame, it had to rest for three days before it could do so again.

If it was to assist a poor, about to miscarry mushroom bug, it might feel a bit of sympathy and help the little bug.

But this time, it was the Spirit Insects that wanted to evolve.

The Little Dream Dragon had no sympathy left—why should the Spirit Insects evolve and not it, the Little Dream Dragon?!

“Gah!” the Little Dream Dragon emphasized once more; it was not some pushover dragon that would suffer a loss to help other magical creatures.

“I understand, I understand!” Russell hastily comforted.

In fact, he was not willing to hinder the Little Dream Dragon’s growth, as after all, the Little Dream Dragon was a supreme Great Dragon. Compared to the Great Dragon, not to mention fantasy beasts or elves, even the Bipedal Flying Dragons had to step aside, no comparison!

However, his dominion was just starting out, and both a fantasy beast and a Spirit Insect were precious treasures.

“Ice Cream, I know it’s hard for you, to be honest, following me you have indeed been wronged. But no matter what, it’s fate that brought us together, isn’t it? Right now my business is just taking off, and I really need your support!”

Russell spoke earnestly.

The Little Dream Dragon only wanted to roll its eyes.

Seeing this, Russell did not beat around the bush and said directly, “I won’t make you work for nothing. Last time, after you breathed dragonflame to save the dandelion bug, I let you eat all the Ice Pellet Pearls. But, I still held back a top-quality Ice Pellet Pearl.”

“Gah?” The Little Dream Dragon perked up when it heard about the Ice Pellet Pearl.

“I’ll give you this Ice Pellet Pearl to eat. Additionally, next month my father is probably going to clean up the trade route again, and I will apply to follow. At that time, besides the Snow Ghosts you eat in your dreams, I will grant you two more top-quality Ice Pellet Pearls!”

“Gah!” The Little Dream Dragon nodded vigorously.

Then it decisively turned back, looking at the Glowing Mushrooms Mushroom Bug on its body with fluctuating light, licked its lips, and directly opened its mouth to spew out a dragonflame as faint as second-hand smoke.

The dragonflame merged into the body of the mushroom bug directly. The green light that was struggling to emerge the moment before now significantly brightened, overshadowing the white light and starting to flicker incessantly between light and dark, but it could not stabilize.

“Did it work, Ice Cream?” Russell was not quite sure.

Previously, a breath of dragonflame from the Little Dream Dragon was enough to foster Spirit Insects from the fungal grass, but that was just for Spirit Insects.

Now it was the mushroom bug evolving into a mushroom bird.

The power requirements from the dragonflame were definitely incomparable, and Russell really couldn’t be sure that a breath of second-hand-smoke-like dragonflame would suffice for the mushroom bug’s evolution.

“Gah.” The Little Dream Dragon couldn’t be bothered to answer, let out a languid cry, shook Russell off, then dove into a corner out of sight.

With its disappearance, the Gloomy Dreamland also dispersed instantly.

…

Getting up early in the morning, Russell didn’t bother to wash up as he headed straight to the Spirit Insect room.

However, the moment he opened the door, he was disappointed; the shelf still held seven Spirit Insects, and no mushroom bird had appeared.

But the previously restless Glowing Mushrooms Mushroom Bug was now motionless on the shelf, its magic power aura extremely chaotic.

“Not enough? Was a breath of dragonflame not enough?” Russell really wanted to ask the mushroom bug how weak its will to evolve was that it couldn’t evolve even with the help of dragonflame, “Or does evolution take time, and you’re brewing?”

The evolution process of a Spirit Insect usually lasts for several days.

But that’s with the Spirit Insect’s own will, continuously breaking through its body’s constraints, transforming into a higher level.

Without the assistance of an external force.

Now, with the dragonflame from the Little Dream Dragon to help, Russell had thought the outcome would be quick to see.

But things had come to this point, Russell had done what he could. If the mushroom bug still failed to evolve, it would be considered fated.

So he touched the mushroom bug and said faintly, “Little one, work hard, don’t leave any regrets for yourself. If you take a step back, you might disappear from this world. But if you succeed, a brilliant tomorrow awaits you.”

The likelihood of evolution failure for spirit insects is significant.

Most failed spirit insects simply revert to their original state, forever losing the chance to evolve again. However, a small portion of them exhaust their vital essence and vanish into ash at the moment of their failure.

The closer they are to the moment of success, the stronger the backlash when they fail.

The Youguangxun Mushroom Bug, with the assistance of dragonflame, had undoubtedly come infinitely close to success, so if it were to fail…

“Sigh,” Russell stood up and closed the door of the sprite room, “I don’t know if what I’m doing is harming you.”

Of course.

After a moment of sentimentalism, Russell cast aside these emotions, knowing he would make the same choice if given another chance.

“Sir.” Just coming out, he saw Butler Morris approaching.

Seeing his eyes full of red blood vessels, Russell asked, “Didn’t sleep well last night?”

Morris gave a bitter smile, “I slept restlessly, kept getting up to look out the window at the mushroom bug. Ah, I really hope the great dragon of the duke’s family would wake up and give it a glance, just one look, to help the mushroom bug.”

“The Shadowflame Great Dragon can’t see this place,” Russell said calmly, “whether the mushroom bug can evolve or not depends on whether its will is strong enough.”

“I know,” Morris replied, “but prayer is all I can do for it.”

Russell said no more and went to wash up.

All day long, apart from practicing the knight’s morning and evening routines, Russell stayed at the manor’s annex, occasionally checking on the mushroom bug’s evolution.

The mushroom bug lay motionless all day, its magic aura still chaotic.

That night, there were no dreams until daylight.

The next day, the mushroom bug still hadn’t successfully evolved, remaining in the same state as the day before—neither evolving nor failing.

After waiting another whole day and spending another dreamless night, Russell woke in the morning to find the mushroom bug in its same old state.

Russell was starting to feel anxious—it had to result in something, good or bad.

By the afternoon, Charles and others had heard the news of the mushroom bug’s evolution and began offering their advice.

However, they knew very little about such magical creatures as spirit insects.

Spirit insects were always in the hands of nobility; common people could hardly come into contact with them, let alone know how they evolve.

Only Charles knew a bit more and provided some sound advice, “Many spirit insects fail at the very start of evolution and then calm down. Sir, the evolution of your mushroom bug has lasted this long; maybe there’s a real chance of success!”

“Maybe,” Russell shook his head, speaking with a touch of disappointment, “but after three days, it seems to have quieted down.”

“Perhaps you should take it to Fluorescent Castle and ask Lord Baron, Sir. Lord Baron has rich experience, and there’s also Mr. Ross… Anyway, it’s a hope. No matter how slim the hope is, it’s worth a try, right?”

“You’re right!” Russell’s eyebrows lifted.

Charles’s words had enlightened him. If anyone in Glowing Valley knew spirit insects best, it was undoubtedly the baron and his wife.

One of them had contracted the Fluorescent Fungus Mushroom Bird Lorey, the other the Rain Lasting Flower Sprite Tess, and their home nurtured dozens of spirit insects. Every year, some die, and new ones are born.

One could say the baron and his wife had witnessed the lifecycles of numerous spirit insects.

Of course.

What mattered most was that Russell had a plan; after today, the Little Dream Dragon would return the following night.

At that time, he could have the Little Dream Dragon breathe another puff of dragonflame.

“If the mushroom bug can hold on until tomorrow night… Perhaps, I can witness the mushroom bug’s evolution in front of my parents and elder brother… Let them personally feel the ‘love’ the duke’s great dragon has for me!”
