Chapter 1178: Thunder Heart Vine
The efficiency of the alchemy creatures was quite high, and soon many vine plants were brought to Chen Rui.
Perhaps the side effect of the transformation, Lalaria completely lost the high spirits she had when she was ‘picking up girls’. She looked weak as she twitched her nose casually in front of a lot of plants, “These are not it.”
“Sir Richard, what plant are you looking for?” Little Anderlu asked curiously.
For Karru, the key words Chen Rui had in his mind were only ‘giving good person card’ and ‘poor sissy who was bullied by Zola since childhood’, but Little Anderlu was different. The little shota gave Chen Rui a pretty good impression.
At the beginning, Little Anderlu came to beg Chen Rui for Samuel’s affairs. Chen Rui rushed to the Dragon Bright Empire in time upon getting the news of Samuel’s crisis to rescue the loyal subordinate. Later, Little Anderlu escaped from the Dragon Valley for Samuel and a.s.sisted Samuel to defeat the dragon knight Trinis, who was trying to kill him, in a duel at the risk of being seriously injured.
It could be said that Little Anderlu was Samuel’s most loyal brother. Even when Samuel went to the Demon Realm, he would often miss his fellow giant dragon who was like a brother.
“Thunder heart vine.” Chen Rui didn’t hide it. “It is very important to me. It is related to the life of 1 of my wives.”
“Thunder heart vine… By the way, Karru, didn’t you find some thunder heart vine under the cliff last time?” Little Anderlu’s words lifted Chen Rui’s spirit, and he looked at Karru.
Karru already revered Zola, and he was hara.s.sed by Lalaria after being misunderstood as a girl before, so he was on the edge and didn’t hear what his brother said at all. Little Anderlu walked over and said a few words to Karru. He immediately s.h.i.+vered, stood up quickly, and bowed, “Little Anderlu, you stay here to talk to Sir Richard. I’ll pluck it now.”
Hearing the whereabouts of thunder heart vine, Chen Rui finally felt relieved. He said to Little Anderlu, “Little Anderlu, we haven’t seen each other for a few years. Is the Dragon Valley still the same? How is Royal Majesty Pagris… and the great elder couple?”
“Royal Majesty Pagris succeeded in advancement not long ago, and the Dragon Valley also held a 3-day carnival. Madam Meria and Sir Span are both doing very well. Especially Madam Meria, she is highly valued by the Royal Majesty Dragon Emperor. Now the magic game, magic phone, and other important affairs are in charge by Madam Meria.” With that said, Little Anderlu bowed to Chen Rui again, “Speaking of the Dragon Valley, I asked sir to save my companion Samuel last time. Although I don’t know what method sir used, I know that Samuel finally escaped from danger afterward. It should be all thanks to sir. Hereby I would like to express my sincere thanks to sir.”
“Little Anderlu, you are very nice.” Chen Rui glanced at Anderlu approvingly, “I think I should tell you something, but I hope you can keep it secret. In fact, we also met in the Dragon Bright Empire after that. Oh, Samuel was there too… Right, Stanwell and Gueroas as well”
Little Anderlu showed a surprised expression. He suddenly remembered something, and he was taken aback, “You mean that dragon knight duel with Bracklin… Right, Elder Stanwell seemed to be very weird that time. He actually scolded Bracklin. Ah, could it be that the third prince of the Dragon Bright Empire who spoke to Elder Stanwell…”
“You’re smart, Little Anderlu.”
“Then I should call…”
Chen Rui smiled lightly, “Just call me ‘Richard’. Prince ‘Arthur’ should have been ‘dead’ during the Holy Child’s canonization ritual.”
“Understood, sir.”
Little Anderlu had also heard about the change of the Holy Child’s canonization ritual promoted by the Holy Church, but judging from Chen Rui’s appearance here and his ability to defeat Stanwell in the Dragon Valley, the facts were definitely not what the Church claimed. The hidden secrets should be pretty astonis.h.i.+ng.
Little Anderlu didn’t ask any further as he bowed again, “Thank you very much sir for your trust. I just want to ask a question, where is Samuel now? There is a special spiritual connection between him and I. I can feel that he should be safe and sound.”
“He is in a very far away place with his 2 wives, Joanna and Ina, and he misses you as a friend too.”
Little Anderlu’s eyes lit up, “I wonder if I can meet him?”
“This is actually a question that requires you to think carefully because…” Just as Chen Rui was talking, he suddenly looked at the door. Karru had returned with a few vines in his hand.
Chen Rui didn’t continue chatting with Little Anderlu. His eyes were fixed on those vines, “Lalaria?”
Lalaria responded listlessly, stepped forward, smelled it, and suddenly grabbed Karru’s arm angrily. How could Karru bear Lalaria’s strength? He suddenly squatted down in pain.
Just when Chen Rui thought there was something wrong with thunder heart vine, Loli Lala yelled in rage, “You’re a grown up man, yet you actually wear perfume for girls!”
Karru was already in so much pain that he couldn’t speak, so Little Anderlu quickly explained, “This is a men’s cologne, which is used by many n.o.ble families in the human world…”
Chen Rui was speechless for a while. It has nothing to do with perfume, right? This is just the typical being ashamed into anger.
“Lalaria!” Chen Rui hastily stopped the flat-chested loli who was about to go berserk, “Are these the thunder heart vines that Athena needs?”
“Yes…” Lalaria replied, then she said harshly to Karru, “If I see you use these disgusting things next time, I will throw you into the volcano to bath you!”
The poor sissy could only shake his head with tears in his eyes as he nodded with all his strength. When Chen Rui heard that it was a thunder heart vine, he quickly transplanted it into the galaxy garden. At the same time, he ordered all alchemy creatures to stop searching, and he activated the power of the Crown of Thorns to heal Karru’s arm.
“Thank you very much, Karru.”
“Sir, you are being polite. I know that sir is a good person.” The sissy had a good impression of Chen Rui. The main reason was that Chen Rui married a certain lady that the sissy feared most, which saved the sissy from suffering.
Having found the thunder heart vine so quickly, Chen Rui was naturally in a good mood. Give all the good man cards you want.
Karru’s injury was actually nothing serious, but from his terrified expression, it could be seen that the psychological intimidation and trauma far outweighed the physical trauma—Probably there was another name on sissy’s blacklist now besides Zola.
“You 2 are the representatives of the Dragon Valley in Storm Island now? Just right, I’m going to Dragon Valley now.”
Karru hesitated for a moment and asked, “Sir, can I ask your purpose for going to the Dragon Valley? I’m sorry, I have the responsibility to inform the personnel and purpose on my side. Then, the other side can agree to start the 2-way teleportation.”
“Brother,” Anderlu b.u.mped Karru lightly, “Did you forget? Madam Zola is now an elder, so there is no need for…”
Upon hearing the name of the fairy dragon, the sissy couldn’t help s.h.i.+vering. He finally came to her senses, not daring to look in the direction of a certain elder as he said quickly, “I’m sorry, Zo… Zo…”
When Chen Rui heard that the sissy’s tongue was tied up, he shook his head secretly. Although Darling Zola sometimes likes fake daze and is a bit blackhearted, in general, she is quite cute. How could she leave such a terrifying trauma in Karru’s heart?
“Actually, I want to visit Queen Sophia to see if she has golden dragon saliva flower.”
“Golden dragon saliva flower!” Little Anderlu exclaimed.
Chen Rui quickly asked, “You know?”
Little Anderlu nodded and said with some embarra.s.sment, “Aunt Sophia does have one. She has always regarded it as a treasure. I remember when I was young, a few friends and I tried to steal it more than once, but it triggered the protection inscription and I was trapped inside for a while. After my father picked me up, he beat me up, then Aunt Sophia kindly gave me a silver dragon saliva flower.”
Chen Rui heard from Lalaria about the benefits of dragon saliva flowers to young dragons. He was overjoyed to hear Little Anderlu’s affirmative answer, “Great, let’s go to the Dragon Valley now!”
After receiving the news from Karru and Anderlu that the Elder Zola had returned, the Dragon Valley’s 2-way teleportation array was soon opened.
After Chen Rui took Zola and the 2 ladies through the teleportation portal, the first thing he saw was his Sir Father-in-law and Madam Mother-in-law. After hearing the news of their daughter’s return, Meria and Span immediately appeared in front of the teleportation portal.
“Baby!” Meria excitedly looked at her daughter whom she hadn’t seen for several years, and Zola threw herself into her mother’s arms. No matter whether she was a quasi-G.o.ddess or the peak stage of the Pseudo-G.o.d, she was her daughter after all.
Chen Rui noticed that the strength of Meria and Span had reached the intermediate stage of the Demi-G.o.d. Span could only be regarded as a recovery of strength while Meria was only one step away from breaking through when he left last time. Of course, Chen Rui’s potions also played an important role.
The old father-in-law Elf King Span came over and nodded to Chen Rui, “Welcome back.”
This family-like tone made Chen Rui feel warm, “En, Uncle Span, let me introduce you. This is Alice, and this is Lalaria. They are my…er, sisters.”
Before the Old Father-in-law Elf King could speak, Meria showed a vigilant expression, “Sisters?”
“Although I owe you a lot of money, we haven’t fallen to the point of selling ourselves as your sister. Besides, my age, Hmph Hmph…” Lalaria looked at Meria carelessly, “We are Zola’s… um, good friend. Since you are Zola’s mommy, you are my aunty as well. Uhm… Zola’s daddy, don’t worry, my goal is your daughter, so your wife is safe for now.”
The last sentence was obviously addressed to Span. The Old Father-in-law Elf King obviously didn’t keep up with such a strange jumping thinking rhythm, so he asked back in surprise, “What?”
“I’m not his sister…” Alice muttered in a dissatisfied tone. She came to Meria and bowed respectfully, “Aunt Meria, h.e.l.lo. I’m Zola… Sister’s younger sister, Alice.”
(Hmph Hmph, Zola and I will be sisters sooner or later!)
Meria looked at Alice, and then at Chen Rui. The scrutiny made Chen Rui a little scared, but Alice’s lovely appearance still made Meria quite like her, “Last time it was Yini, this time it was Alice. Both of them are likable, but there is a guy who is becoming more and more unlikeable… Hey, what happened to your hand?”
Chen Rui looked at the left hand that hadn’t yet fully healed, and he said with a shake, “It’s fine. It’s almost finished growing. It won’t be long before it will be as good as before.”
As soon as Chen Rui’s hand was mentioned, Zola’s eyes turned red, “This is when he risked his life to save me last time…”
Meria’s eyes suddenly softened, and the original bit of blame turned into appreciation and relief. Nonetheless, she still spoke with the tone of reproach, “Young man, don’t be too aggressive…”
A son-in-law who is able to protect my daughter with his life. I can really feel relieved to entrust my daughter to him.
Hearing the concern in Meria’s tone, Chen Rui smiled while the Old Father-in-law Elf King patted his shoulder hard, “It’s fine since it’s okay now.”
At this time, another acquaintance came from the opposite; it was Gueroas.
Seeing Chen Rui and Zola, Gueroas nodded and spoke up, “Royal Majesty Pagris invites Great Elder Meria, Elder Zola and 3 guests to the Holy Spirit Summit.”
