Chapter 169
“Exactly, it’s not called picture blue!”
“…Who can remove the chat bar of those two upstairs?”
“Black Fei? What’s wrong with Black Fei being the master? That’s voluntary on our side; it’s a kind of play! You guys should mind your own business!”
“Right, once the Jiaolong transforms, we’ll have a second dragon.”
“Uh-huh, Yu Xunge is the dragon’s master, and Yu Xunhuan is the dragon’s heir. What’s the problem?”
Everyone was speaking their own language, but they were clearly having a lively back-and-forth…
She switched back to her own channel.
【Huaxia Channel】
“LOL, I just used a machine translation on the world channel, and both Myanmar D and India D are welcoming Tu Lan and Yu Xunge.”
“Tu Lan is flying ahead, and the Special Affairs Bureau is chasing right behind.”
“At 5 AM, the Special Affairs Bureau’s plane even brought food to Tu Lan; I got it on camera.”
“Awesome, Ice Dragon is on a nationwide tour~”
“Oh my gosh, there’s even a picture of Yu Xunge sleeping! Which fan is so strong?”
Yu Xunge: ??????
They managed to capture that?
Upon seeing this message, Yu Xunge’s first reaction was to act! She immediately sent a private message to Yu Xunhuan, asking how he was doing.
As a good sister, the first thing she did upon waking was to check on her brother.
While waiting for Yu Xunhuan’s reply, she opened the private chat with Zhao Shuying.
【Yu Xunge】: Hey, Xiao Zhao, I’m awake. Are you doing okay?
【Zhao Shuying】: …
【Yu Xunge】: What’s wrong? Xiao Zhao, I have to tell you, you can’t let personal feelings affect your work.
Zhao Shuying didn’t reply for a long time.
Lying on the dragon’s back, Yu Xunge couldn’t help but laugh. She remembered how silent Zhao Shuying had been when Black Fei had asked for dragon blood before time rewound.
But business is business, and personal feelings are personal feelings. Zhao Shuying had come this far thanks to her own abilities; Yu Xunge wasn’t really angry with her. Besides, when the Special Affairs Bureau had suggested making Tu Lan the representative dragon, Zhao Shuying had subtly reminded her about it.
Yu Xunge had never fully trusted Zhao Shuying or the Special Affairs Bureau, so she wouldn’t be upset about Zhao Shuying’s moment of silence.
But teasing Zhao Shuying was still fair game.
【Yu Xunge】: So how’s my brother handling things with Black Fei?
【Zhao Shuying】: For now, they’re coexisting peacefully. There’s no way to hide what happened that day.
【Yu Xunge】: Is there a mole?
【Zhao Shuying】: There are too many strange divine gifts out there. With this incident blowing up, everyone wants to know why the exotic beast became a master.
【Zhao Shuying】: Plus, your brother is clever. Don’t let his quick submission fool you; as soon as the contract was reversed, he started recording. Our people noticed his hand movements.
【Yu Xunge】: …
How cunning! Even in such a crisis, he’s still stirring the pot.
Yu Xunge wasn’t worried about the possibility of the footage leaking; she had prepared for the worst. Even the daughter’s red wine hidden in the magician’s false teeth had been consumed under the cover of a storm created by Tu Lan.
After all, there are divine gifts that can access memories. Who could guarantee that those images wouldn’t fall into someone’s hands? What if they watched them frame by frame? She came from the entertainment industry; how could she not be cautious about such things?
【Zhao Shuying】: How’s the burst combo skill you and Tu Lan have? Any side effects?
【Yu Xunge】: Random attribute permanent -2.
【Zhao Shuying】: That’s pretty serious, especially since it only lasted less than five minutes.
【Yu Xunge】: Yeah.
Both Zhao Shuying and Yu Xunhuan fell silent. Yu Xunge closed the chat screen and received the food that Shen Yu had sent today—fried dough sticks wrapped around steamed dumplings?
She climbed to the dragon’s head and started eating with Tu Lan, tossing one piece into Tu Lan’s mouth for every piece she ate.
Tu Lan: “Grandma’s cooking is the best.”
Yu Xunge: “I’ll give you the whole box; let’s head back.”
Tu Lan immediately changed direction, flying toward home.
On the way, Yu Xunge opened the game forum to check the reactions from all sides.
Even after a night had passed, everyone was still discussing Black Fei.
Even the members of
People were analyzing Black Fei’s divine gift, speculating why this Jiaolong ended up with Yu Xunhuan, and debating whether this was a blessing or a curse for him.
Rumors suggested that the Jiaolong was originally meant to be contracted by the eldest daughter of the Su family, but at the last moment, the son-in-law turned against them and snatched the Jiaolong, only to find that he had shot himself in the foot…
【Chapter 219: We Are the Best Donkeys of the Special Affairs Bureau】
Finding a suitable place for Black Fei wasn’t easy.
First, they had to rule out areas near dungeon light screens. Nowadays, places with level 1-8 dungeon light screens were bustling 24/7, filled with players, mobile vendors, 24-hour convenience stores, and queueing services—sometimes even livelier than the city center.
Aside from that, there were generally three types of quiet, less populated areas: rural villages, affluent neighborhoods, and deep mountains and forests.
Deep mountains and forests were hard to monitor.
The Special Affairs Bureau didn’t choose rural villages either; even the most remote village was just a few minutes away from the city.
While Zhao Shuying was still negotiating with Black Fei, the Special Affairs Bureau had already started scouting locations. In the end, they concluded that living near an affluent neighborhood was the best option, both from a public opinion perspective and a practical one.
Because the latter would definitely have their own support teams. If the Jiaolong went rogue, ordinary people would undoubtedly become food, while only those wealthy enough to have their own teams could hold off the beast, at least long enough for the Special Affairs Bureau’s main forces to arrive.
Of course, to make this happen, the Special Affairs Bureau offered quite a few benefits. After all, these people were wealthy, not criminals, so they wouldn’t make it too ugly.
The location of this affluent neighborhood was quite delicate, situated near the Su family estate, just over twenty kilometers away.
It was also a manor, but it had been foreclosed and hadn’t sold, so the Special Affairs Bureau directly purchased it with funds for Black Fei and Yu Xunhuan to live in. They would later modify the living environment based on Black Fei’s contributions.
Yu Xunhuan would also live there. According to Black Fei, Yu Xunhuan was responsible for taking care of his daily needs, including cleaning his scales and reading the news to him.
While heading to the kitchen to prepare lunch for the Jiaolong, Yu Xunhuan opened the chat interface. Upon seeing Yu Xunge’s message, he felt a surge of joy, but the next second, he felt the entire room’s light dim.
He turned to look, and outside the kitchen’s floor-to-ceiling window was a massive Jiaolong head, nearly filling the entire window.
Black Fei stared at Yu Xunhuan and asked, “Looking for your sister?”
Yu Xunhuan forced himself to stay calm and replied, “Yeah, she wouldn’t abandon me.”
Black Fei broke through the window, and with Yu Xunhuan’s scream, he bit off one of his fingers: “Do you know why I made a contract with you?”
Yu Xunhuan curled up in the corner, clutching his finger. He looked into the pupils of the Jiaolong and had a faint idea: “Why?”
Black Fei didn’t mention the first contract being inexplicably broken: “Because your sister has a dragon, and I need dragon blood.”
Now, Black Fei harbored malice toward Yu Xunhuan. This human, so close to his sister? Then he would destroy that bond.
As the weight in his heart lifted, Yu Xunhuan thought he would feel hatred, but at that moment, he realized he felt more helplessness. He couldn’t afford to hate—because he needed Yu Xunge’s protection.
What right did he have to hate the only person in the world willing and able to protect him?
He had no right, no confidence.
And then there was Su Yitong. Although the Jiaolong didn’t say it, he had seen the moment the first contract was easily broken. He immediately thought of Su Yitong’s luck.
Su Yitong must have used the skill crystal that Yu Xunge gave her, and she must have used the feather he gave her. With maximum luck and the fortune she absorbed, she must have been blessed to avoid this disaster!!
Otherwise, if the first contract had succeeded, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
But even with Su Yitong, he had already lost the right to hate her… It was a miracle that Su Yitong didn’t hate him.
He liked to exploit Su Yitong’s possessiveness, but most personality traits have their reasons for existence and formation.
