Chapter 131 -130 You Guang Ji

Hard dishes are tough to eat!

This was the conclusion Russell came to while watching from the side; it wasn’t that the taste was bad, but getting the food into one’s mouth was quite an ordeal.

But then the Little Dream Dragon, facing the Snow Demon who was sauntering leisurely, opened its dragon mouth and took a deep breath.

In a flash, two vortexes arose at the thin Snow Demon’s head and belly, ceaselessly pulling at the deep blue glow on the demon’s body, trying to condense the glow into Ice Soul Pearls.

This was a Snow Demon capable of condensing two Ice Soul Pearls. Its combat power wasn’t apparent, but at least it was quite generous when it came to “being demonic.”

However, the next moment,

the thin Snow Demon felt a change within itself, and then it was seen silently roaring in anger, its mouth agape, wildly swinging the ice crystal sword in its hand, even bisecting a Snow Ghost that came too close to it at the waist.

It was desperately resisting the Little Dream Dragon’s consumption.

It seemed to be effective; the speed at which the vortexes were condensing began to slow, even showing signs of dispersing.

“Keep it up!” Russell clenched his fist and quietly cheered for the Little Dream Dragon.

“Gah!”

The Little Dream Dragon was also furious.

Its round dragon eyes quickly narrowed into vertical pupils, and Dragonflame sprayed out of its nostrils, as if exhaling two puffs of second-hand smoke.

In the Gloomy Dreamland, it made all the rules!

The next second, it opened its dragon mouth and took another powerful breath. With this intake, the thin Snow Demon could no longer struggle, and the two formerly stagnant vortexes that were about to disperse started to rotate deeply, gathering the deep blue light together.

Two pale blue Ice Soul Pearls formed, then slowly fell into the Little Dream Dragon’s mouth.

Crunch, crunch!

Crushed like chewing bones, swallowed into its belly.

Then it let out a comfortable belch with satisfaction, “Gah-erp…”

“Well done, Ice Cream!” Russell clapped his hands enthusiastically, even more excited than if he had slain the Snow Demon himself. This was simply a lucrative deal without any investment.

A single Ice Pellet Pearl on the market could be exchanged for a Gold Coin, and a high-quality Ice Pellet Pearl could go for a dozen or more Gold Coins. An Ice Soul Pearl, on the other hand, was a priceless treasure; if one was willing, it could easily fetch several hundred Gold Coins.

In other words,

Russell had earned several hundred Gold Coins that night.

Even though the money he’d made was all spent on the Little Dream Dragon and couldn’t bring back a copper coin to reality, it at least saved Russell the cost of feeding the Little Dream Dragon.

In the journey ahead, the Little Dream Dragon would no longer covet the few Ice Pellet Pearls he had in his possession.

Amid the excitement, he glanced at the spot where the thin Snow Demon had stood, only to find that the deep blue glow was gone.

After the Ice Soul Pearls were formed, the thin Snow Demon had disappeared. Russell guessed it had probably shattered into a ground of blue traces. It was the same death scene he encountered when cleaning up the Twin Rivers Trade Route.

Whether Snow Ghosts or Snow Demons, they would all disperse with the wind upon death, not polluting the environment in the slightest.

Of course,

one could also say that aside from Ice Pellet Pearls and Ice Soul Pearls, all remaining power from them would merge back into the cold wind, into this eternally unmelting Snowfield.

The call of the Little Dream Dragon brought Russell’s thoughts back to the present.

He saw that after consuming two Ice Soul Pearls, the Little Dream Dragon clearly seemed a bit overfed and needed to go back and digest properly.

So he stroked the Little Dream Dragon’s neck, “Alright, then let’s part ways here. See you tomorrow.”

“Gah.” The Little Dream Dragon’s eyes were full of mirth; it truly enjoyed the feast today.

The Sword Butterflies also danced gently, performing a silent farewell.

Then,

The gloomy dreamland dissipated, everything returned to pitch black.

The next day, at dawn, the Knight Regiment stood ready for departure.

Russell, in high spirits, stood by the flowerbeds, watching the quasi-partridge dragons leisurely hunting insects on the path, and nonchalantly tossed his leftover bread their way.

The quasi-partridge dragons scattered in fright.

But they quickly regrouped around the bread Russell had thrown, chirping and squabbling over it. They resembled a flock of feathered miniature dinosaurs, and perhaps, as Roland said, they had the graceful posture of dragons.

“Pseudo-Dragons…”

Shaking his head, Russell stopped dwelling on these little creatures and quickly rejoined his own knightly squad, marching out of the Four Seasons Flower Sea Cold Spring Spot with the Knight Regiment.

Climbing the uphill path through the cavern’s exit, they re-entered the frigid, snow-swept world.

Charge, hunt!

The journey that followed was as smooth as ever, with Russell merely needing to pick up leftovers to tally a good number of Ice Pellet Pearls.

However, unfortunately, the Little Dream Dragon had indeed overeaten and didn’t appear that night, Russell only had the “M” mark in his palm occasionally respond to his calls, igniting briefly to assure him that the Little Dream Dragon was not in trouble.

For the next few days, the Little Dream Dragon did not show up.

“Alas, why is this so? Spewing a breath of Dragonflame requires three days of rest, and now, having eaten some Ice Soul Pearls also requires resting… Young dragons are such a hassle,” Russell lamented, thinking of all the Ice Pellet Pearls and even Ice Soul Pearls he had missed out on these past nights.

In a flash.

The Knight Regiment had cleared the entire Mountain River Trade Route, cutting through the icy landscape to reach another cavern.

“This is Tao Ci Di Ku, the Mountain River Trade Route connects the Volcanic Oasis with the Glowing Valley; the trade in pottery is busy, and many people smuggle ceramics through here,” said Roland, riding alongside Russell, explaining the local customs.

Russell expressed his surprise, “Does the family allow smuggling?”

“Why not? The tax on official trade is too high, and even our Fluorescent Castle can’t handle it, besides…” Roland whispered, “Our grandfather presides over the Council of Elders, turning a blind eye to smuggling here.”

In the past two decades, the Shadowflame Grand Duchy had been governed by the Council of Elders, with Merlin Rain-Longflower, as one of the two Earls, alternating in power with the other.

As they were all family, they naturally looked after each other.

After all, if the taxes went up, they would end up at Red Castle, not in the hands of the elders; it was only by underpaying taxes that the elders could benefit.

“Hmm,” Russell signified his understanding and then asked, “Now that the Grand Duke is in power, Grandfather must be laying down his burden, will the family continue smuggling?”

“Indeed, but we’ll have to be more careful, making sure to appease those above and below us. It’s Uncle Roson who’s in charge now, you need to observe and learn because eventually, this will be your responsibility,” Roland advised, integrating Russell into his Baron-level planning for the future.

Turning to face him, he patted Russell’s shoulder, saying softly, “I trust you more than Uncle Roson, Russell.”

Russell narrowed his eyes and nodded indifferently, “Alright, big brother.”

This was the duty of a second son in the family.

Of course.

Russell had a dragon, a Great Dragon, and no one could predict what the future held.

The Knight Regiment passed through Tao Ci Di Ku where many shabbily dressed Cavern Freemen, boldly approaching to sell merchandise.

Alcoholic beverages, food, tobacco, betel nuts…

There were even female Cavern Freemen, wearing thin gowns, enduring the cold and striking poses by the roadside, where a brief stop would be enough to strike a fleeting relationship.

Indeed, knights from the Regiment broke away from the formation, courageously stepping forward to rescue these suffering women.

Russell observed these Cavern Freemen, his thoughts obscured.

Seeing this, big brother Roland seemed to understand Russell’s thoughts.

He teased him with a smile, “Do you also want to rescue these suffering women, haha, don’t be hasty, Russell. The Glowing Valley market is just up ahead; it’s a market established by our Fluorescent Fungi Family. I’ll introduce you to some distinguished ladies there.”
