Su Yan touched her arm, which was hurting from the impact, and said, “I wonder where shao zhi is.”

Gu Ruoyun shielded her behind him and said, “Behind the waterfall.”

He had asked Jin Tong before they arrived.

Su Yan asked in surprise, “How to take it out?”

Gu Ruoyun replied, “Wait a moment.”

Su Yan did not know why they needed to wait, but seeing that he did not say anything, she did not ask. She was playing by the waterside.

An Yi saw them standing by the waterside when he arrived. He stepped forward and said, “Lord, Princess Consort.”

Su Yan looked behind him and asked, “Where’s Jin Tong? Why didn’t she come with you?”

An Yi said, “Something happened in the Southern Kingdom and she did not come.”

Su Yan frowned. She knew Jin Tong very well and she would never leave An Yi unless it was a major event. Just as she was about to ask, Gu Ruoyun stopped her, “Alright, I’ll go in and pick shao zhi. An Yi, you stay behind to look after Princess Consort.”

An Yi nodded.

Su Yan did not know what to say. She looked at the powerful impact of the waterfall and could only remind him to be careful.

Gu Ruoyun used his inner energy to protect his body and quickly rushed in. In less than a moment, he had come out with a large parcel in his hand. It was filled with shao zhi.

Before Su Yan could rejoice, she heard a deafening roar from behind her.

Gu Ruoyun threw the parcel on the ground and quickly turned around to deal with the big fellow behind him.

At this moment, Su Yan and An Yi could clearly see that this huge creature was a huge flood dragon. It should be the one Jin Tong had mentioned.

The flood dragon’s bell-sized eyes stared fixedly at Gu Ruoyun. A tiny human actually dared to steal from it.

It opened its large mouth and spat out flames. The temperature was so high that even a portion of the waterfall had evaporated. Gu Ruoyun quickly dodged it and the sword in his hand slashed across the flood dragon’s body but not a single scratch was left on it.

This result made him frown.

An Yi flew forward to help but was stopped by Gu Ruoyun. “Go and protect Princess Consort.”

This movement also made the flood dragon notice that there were two humans here. It was even more enraged when it saw An Yi and spat out another mouthful of flames.

When it saw Su Yan, it quickly rushed towards her. Gu Ruoyun and An Yi furrowed their brows at the same time and tried to intercept it one after another.

However, the flood dragon had exploded with astonishing power. This stream of air was so strong that even Gu Ruoyun could not get close to it for a moment.

He shouted, “Yan’er, move away.”

Su Yan looked at the flood dragon, who was just inches away from her. Surprisingly, she did not see any hostility in its eyes, so she did not move.

At this moment, the flood dragon was already very close to her.

A trace of fear flashed in Gu Ruoyun’s eyes. The flood dragon stopped in front of Su Yan’s eyes and heaved out a wave of heat from its nose. However, it cleverly avoided Su Yan, who was in front of it. Su Yan did not receive the slightest bit of damage.

Su Yan and the flood dragon were playing happily together. The flood dragon brought her to swim on the water and he would also pick some seaweed from the water and give it to her.

Gu Ruoyun and An Yi used this time to quickly gather the amount of shao zhi that they needed.

After gathering the amount, Gu Ruoyun’s face darkened as he held Su Yan in his arms in front of the flood dragon. He said in a serious tone, “This is my woman.”

The flood dragon’s eyes were about to spit fire but Su Yan stopped it. She gently patted the childish Gu Ruoyun. How could he be jealous of a flood dragon?

The three of them got rid of the flood dragon and left Tianjian. Just as they came out from the waterfall, they ran into the Southern Kingdom’s soldiers.

There was a palanquin in the middle of the soldiers. On the palanquin sat a familiar figure, Jin Tong.

Su Yan’s face lit up and she shouted, “Jin Tong!”

Jin Tong glanced at her and did not respond. She said coldly, “Since you have obtained what you want, leave the Southern Kingdom as soon as possible. Don’t blame me for being rude when you set foot in the Southern Kingdom again..”
