Chapter 1265: Chapter 1269: Cunning Dragon Shepherd

Zhu Minglang happened to pass by and glanced at the so-called God Spider Silk.

“Little Immortal Friend, this is an excellent item for capturing dragons. I presume you must have a favored dragon but can never keep it. This…”

“I’ll take it, for half a Liuli.” Zhu Minglang, wealthy and bold, paid directly.

“Good, good, do you want these tougher spider silk threads as well? They can be used for fishing spirit creatures, I’ll give them to you for free.”

“Yes.” Zhu Minglang nodded.

This really is a great item, its toughness is very close to the God Silkworm Silk that Nie Xiaoxuan made for him, perfect for capturing that unruly Flying Fish.

“Have you familiarized yourself with the environment around that mountain stream?” Zhu Minglang asked the Little Jiuwei Dragon.

The Little Jiuwei Dragon, holding a Spirit Fruit, nodded then took a meticulous bite.

“Very good, let it be wild, add some cumin and thirteen spices!” Zhu Minglang already had his plan.

…

Zhu Minglang specifically reserved two Fish of the Primordial Spirit, stewing them into a soup, then served it to Cao Juan and Lu Kuan who were recovering inside the house.

Both of their emotions were exceptionally low.

Though their lives were saved, their dragons had already perished.

It was evident that they treated their dragon pets as their own children, watching helplessly as they died for them, surely the pain was unbearable, no matter how much time passes, it is hard to come out of the shadow.

“You guys drink this soup first, it will help you recover.” Zhu Minglang said.

“Thank you, for guarding us though we met by chance.” Lu Kuan managed to squeeze out a smile.

Upon knowing Zhu Minglang was a deity, Lu Kuan treated Zhu Minglang with much respect, after all, without him, they would have already perished in the icy river.

After drinking the soup, some color returned to Cao Juan’s pale face.

She closed her eyes to recuperate, trying to sense her own Spirit Realm, and unexpectedly found that her broken Soul Contracts showed signs of recovery…

This meant she could continue raising dragons!

Cao Juan was very happy, and was about to express her gratitude, when footsteps sounded outside the house; it was her sister Cao Ying, who walked in bringing two sets of beautiful clothes.

“The first day of the lunar month is the birthday of Princess Ying Yue, my husband and I have been invited. Invited guests can bring two companions, you and your husband should also join us, to visit the Moon God Immortal Mansion and to bask in the deity’s divine aura, perhaps you will receive blessings and protection?” Cao Ying said to Cao Juan and Lu Kuan.

“We… we are merely humble folks, perhaps it’s best not to disgrace the Moon Fairy’s residence.” Lu Kuan said.

“It’s alright, just staying inside the house isn’t good either, take it as a chance to get some fresh air.” Cao Ying said.

“Alright then.” Cao Juan nodded, agreeing to her sister.

…

Zhu Minglang was not surprised by Nie QiQi’s identity.

He possessed a high Divine Sense, and the moment that girl approached, Zhu Minglang had roughly identified her Divine form.

Who has the patience to play games with her? It’s only because the little girl seems profitable. What can one do? Isn’t he just a naive and approachable young boy himself?

The two Primordial Spirit Fish should be enough to revive the couple.

The next day, Zhu Minglang continued his capture plan. With the blessing from Nie Qiqi, the Moon Fairy princess, Zhu Minglang would naturally not miss the abundant Spirit Origin in the back mountain of the Immortal Mansion. It’s a pity that he couldn’t sell these for money, as doing so would get him arrested. Otherwise, Zhu Minglang felt he could make a fortune in just a few days and reach the peak of his life anew.

It is indeed peculiar here; this mountain stream is actually a loop.

Water flows downwards, an irreversible law of nature, yet unusually in this place, after about one Time after Zhu Minglang places down a thin bamboo boat which flows downstream, it would gently drift back from upstream.

Perhaps some Immortal Technique has locked it. Zhu Minglang does not know the principle, but this greatly facilitates him in setting a trap for the arrogant Gold Scale.

“Go, lure that fellow out,” Zhu Minglang said to the Little Jiuwei Dragon.

Little Jiuwei swayed its long tail and deliberately walked to the quiet stream to drink.

Sticking out its little tongue, it curled up water into its throat. While Little Jiuwei Dragon was relishing in the sweet spring, suddenly the calm water in front of it churned, followed by a sudden wave that splashed onto Little Jiuwei Dragon, soaking its mountain-water-colored fur completely!

“Wooo wooo wooo wooo!!!!”

Little Jiuwei Dragon let out a low roar, it raised its head and saw again the Gold Scale Immortal Spirit that could float on the water’s surface.

It’s not unusual for such an Immortal Spirit to fly into the clouds. Not only did it leave the water’s surface, but it also hovered above the water and spewed a huge water bubble at Little Jiuwei Dragon.

“Woo!!!”

Little Jiuwei Dragon immediately burst into speed, pouncing towards the Gold Scale, and its claws fiercely swiped at the annoying Gold Scale.

However, this Gold Scale Immortal Spirit was incredibly agile. With a flick of its tail, it soared into the woods above the mountain stream, and then performed a glamorous traversal through the trees.

After showing off its skills, the Gold Scale Immortal Spirit fell back into the stream and then transformed into a golden light flow that swiftly swam against the stream.

Little Jiuwei Dragon started its chase, spreading its limbs. After tasting the Primordial Spirit Fish, its cultivation base had significantly increased. Its speed got even faster, its four paws stirring like a confusing breeze; its wet fur was quickly flung dry in the running process, and its sleek and beautiful fox fur fluttered again like silk!

Seeing that Little Jiuwei Dragon’s speed had increased today, the Gold Scale Immortal Spirit dared not tease it anymore and dashed at full strength deeper into the mountain stream…

Zhu Minglang remained stationary; he started to weave a net right there.

This God Spider Silk does not dissolve in water and is very sticky.

Most importantly, it is transparent; without direct sunlight shining on it, it is nearly invisible.

Therefore, Zhu Minglang specifically chose a position against the sunlight and also specifically asked the Sword Spirit Dragon to tone down its brilliance.

All was ready, just waiting for the fish to bite.

After dozing off for a while, Zhu Minglang heard the calls from the Jiuwei Dragon.

It seems it had already chased the Gold Scale here, just as he thought; this mountain stream is indeed a loop!

Sure enough, this mountain stream was locked by Immortal Technique; its water flow forms a loop. Seeing the Gold Scale Immortal Spirit getting closer, Zhu Minglang immediately urged the Little Jiuwei Dragon to burst out in its final burst of speed!!
