Chapter 467
As for the matter of Zai Jiu seeking songs and killing Song Gui, Li Zhou wasn't truly angry. In the world battlefield, it was either you kill me or I kill you; even Feng Tang and Song Gui had fought each other before.
After pondering for a long time, she said, “I have an SS-level skill called [Super Filtering]. Once used, any lost dragon scales, dragon blood, or dragon horns will not carry a trace of original power. Even if they are flayed or bled out, it won’t affect the essence itself. Moreover, if someone takes our flesh and blood without our dragon clan's voluntary gift, they will be cursed.
“However, I won’t directly give you the skill experience of this ability. I can only teach you the principles of the magic, and you’ll have to comprehend it yourself. Do you want to learn?”
Yu Xun Ge immediately answered for Tu Lan, “That’s it! She wants to learn!”
Tu Lan shot a glance at Yu Xun Ge, her mood visibly brightening. Li Zhou stared at Tu Lan with a strange expression for a few seconds.
Teaching the principles of magic would take at least a day or two, so Yu Xun Ge left Tu Lan on Dragon Island while she returned to Zai Jiu first to keep an eye on the nearly completed engineering workshop.
Before leaving, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is [Super Filtering] something you comprehended yourself, or did Song Gui find it for you?”
Li Zhou looked up at Yu Xun Ge and answered, “Song Gui.”
Yu Xun Ge smiled and flew away from Dragon Island.
Li Zhou watched her leave in silence for a while before turning to Tu Lan and asking, “What were you so happy about just now? Just because she helped you trade for a skill?”
“You wouldn’t understand.” Tu Lan shook her head, her cheerful demeanor softening. “In the past, she would have respected me and politely asked if I needed it. But today, she directly agreed for me to learn! She treats me like one of her own dragons.”
Li Zhou struggled to untangle this logic and fell silent.
For a moment, it felt as if she were seeing a second version of herself. Suddenly, she began to understand why the group around the Holy Grail looked at her the way they did.
The mini ice dragon plopped down beside the fire dragon’s head and began recounting the little moments since she met Yu Xun Ge.
Of course, she didn’t mention Yu Xun Ge’s secrets or the various strange items and tools she possessed; she only spoke of daily life, even slightly altering specific times, places, and events.
Li Zhou transformed to the same size as Tu Lan, and the moonlight cast shadows over the two little dragonlings. Their tiny forms moved from 5 o'clock to 9 o'clock, then to 12 o'clock, before Tu Lan finally finished talking about Yu Xun Ge.
She concluded, “Actually, I know she still doesn’t completely trust me.
“Even though I spent some time in the pet space, I asked B8017913 what happened while I was gone.
“This game is very dangerous, and we might lose everything. But when she was deducing what cards she could play to start over after losing everything, she thought of alchemy and even cooking, but she didn’t think of me.
“We obtained the [No Regrets Oath] scroll, and she would rather give me a core skill than another one because if I had that skill and betrayed her one day, it would be very hard for her to kill me.”
After saying this, Tu Lan fell silent for a long time.
How could she not feel sad?
Li Zhou spoke softly, “But.”
It was as if a switch had been flipped, as if a malfunctioning circuit had been reconnected.
Tu Lan picked up Li Zhou’s words, saying, “But! The more this is the case, the more I don’t want to leave her. I don’t know how to explain this foolish feeling.”
Li Zhou asked, “So, will you blame or even resent her for not trusting you?”
Tu Lan replied, “No.”
Li Zhou continued, “Do you think it’s foolish that I still can’t completely hate Song Gui?”
Tu Lan answered, “Yes.”
Li Zhou burst into laughter, saying, “You accept that your friend will never fully trust you, and I accept that Song Gui will always choose the better option when faced with a choice. Their flaws are so infuriating yet so coldly dazzling.
“Tu Lan, we’re not so different.
“We both dislike flawless perfection and prefer sharp imperfections.”
**Chapter 505: “Do You Really Accept It?” & Changing the Teleport Point**
Tu Lan looked up at Li Zhou, thinking, but Yu Xun Ge’s sharp imperfections haven’t truly harmed me.
She remembered Yu Xun Ge saying, “This isn’t your fault, nor is it my problem.”
But Song Gui’s imperfections…
Tu Lan hesitated, as if apart from hurting Li Zhou’s heart, they hadn’t really harmed her?
But she quickly recalled Li Zhou’s accusations against Song Gui’s various misdeeds. Dragons generally didn’t care about such things, but Li Zhou’s anger didn’t seem fake. She asked, “Do you really accept it?”
Li Zhou lowered her head, not answering Tu Lan’s question.
Tu Lan felt a pang of regret for her probing and quickly said, “Let’s start learning [Super Filtering]!”
Li Zhou, however, wasn’t willing to let the topic go easily. She suddenly asked, “You can accept Zai Jiu not believing in you, but can you accept that she’s willing to trust other beings, even entrusting her life and safety to them, yet doesn’t trust you?”
Tu Lan jumped up, clenched her fists, and exclaimed, “I absolutely do not accept that!! How dare she?!!”
The two dragons stared at each other for a moment, then, in perfect sync, they embraced each other and began to cry dramatically.
“Finally, a dragon understands me, boohoo!”
“Boohoo, no need to say more, I understand, I understand…”
“It’s all because our standards are too high and too niche!!”
“Exactly, but don’t say such terrifying hypotheticals next time; it’s too infuriating.”
“Then you shouldn’t complain to the Holy Grail in the future.”
“I… I’ll try my best.”
Beisui, who flew over to ask if Tu Lan and Li Zhou wanted to go back for a late-night snack, was left speechless: “…”
He didn’t want to snitch, but at this distance, the Holy Grail and Xue Dui with sound-based skills could hear everything!
…
Yu Xun Ge chose not to return to Zai Jiu directly using her cat head but instead flew away from Dragon Island.
Since traps targeting her had begun to appear, the previous teleportation point was no longer safe.
Even if it hadn’t been discovered yet, she needed to find a new teleport point further away from the Ding Hai base to avoid being caught all at once.
With this in mind, she sent a message to Zhao Shuying, briefly explaining the situation and stating that she would change to a new teleport point.
As for whether the Ding Hai base should relocate because of her, that was up to Ding Hai to decide; she would only do what she could.
Her agility was ten times that of Tu Lan. The journey from Dragon Island to Tun Tun Mountain, which would take over 30 hours, could be completed in just over 3 hours at her full speed.
There were no significant obstacles on this route, but the dragon clan had set up one magical array after another. Without a dragon leading the way or lacking the dragon clan’s blessing, one would quickly lose direction on the way to Dragon Island.
It could be said that as long as the dragon clan didn’t design against themselves, Dragon Island and its surrounding areas were the safest teleport points in Zelan.
While flying to Tun Tun Mountain, Yu Xun Ge searched for a type of floating rock known as “Kong Yan,” which was common in Zelan. She hadn’t known what it was before, but after the merging of Sen Hai and Zelan, she had a vague guess.
Originally, Zelan was the land of the undead, and these floating rocks might be remnants of the worlds of the other eleven races that fell into Zelan.
They floated in the air, and unless they encountered extremely violent storms or lightning, they wouldn’t move much.
There was actually a better option: a type of magical material called “Mang Mang,” which rooted itself in clouds and grew within them. Whenever the clouds dispersed, “Mang Mang” would ride the wind to seek another cloud.
Who would have thought that a moving magical herb could serve as a teleport point?
Moreover, “Mang Mang” has a very long growth period and cannot be cultivated artificially, so no players would come to harvest it until it was fully mature.
She had considered inscribing a teleportation array on “Mang Mang,” but this uncertainty was both a protection and a danger; it might drift away from the Dragon Island domain.
Comparing the two, Yu Xun Ge ultimately chose the floating rock.
She found a piece of Kong Yan between Dragon Island and Tun Tun Mountain and inscribed a teleportation array on its bottom.
When she was browsing the auction house yesterday, she had thought about looking for similar skills, but it seemed that Zelan had intervened, and such skills were nowhere to be found in the auction house.
And in Ding Hai, it was even less likely. Strategic skills would be used immediately once obtained; leaving them in the catalog for others to exchange was a waste. Delaying even a day was a waste of time.
After leaving the teleportation array, Yu Xun Ge flew to Tun Tun Mountain, marking the auction house there as a sightseeing point. Then she used the teleportation array to return to the underwater volcano, destroying the now-defunct teleportation array there.
After completing all this, she used her cat head to return to Zai Jiu.
After marking the villa, she donned her egg shell hat, activated the [Reclusive Teletubby] skill, and returned to Tun Tun Mountain using [Romantic Tourist].
After marking another building at Tun Tun Mountain, Yu Xun Ge returned to the villa once more.
The good news was that the SSS-level [Romantic Tourist] could indeed traverse between two worlds.
The bad news was that each sightseeing point could only exist for 24 hours.
However, it wasn’t too time-consuming; going to mark and coming back only took a few seconds.
In any case, she could conveniently improve herself a little every day.
