Chapter 1018: Seeking Asylum (4)
Ji Fengyan stared speechless at the treasures regurgitated by that materialistic dragon. The corners of her mouth twitched.
If she was not wrong, that pile of treasures was mainly “given” to that dragon by her.
For the materialistic dragon to willingly regurgitate all that riches, it must truly wish to save those three fledglings. Ji Fengyan rubbed her temples. “I have no use for these, you can take them back. I can agree to your request, but… that forest already has an owner. I need to discuss it before confirming whether it allows you guys to enter.”
Ji Fengyan knew the materialistic dragon was referring to the Forest of Freedom, but that forest already belonged to the rhinoceros beast. She still needed to seek its opinion. Of course… she did not expect that the kind hearted beast would reject taking in that bunch of “pitiful” ancient dragons.
The materialistic dragon’s eyes lit up with glee at Ji Fengyan’s a.s.sent. Without any hesitation, it immediately swallowed all the treasures it had just regurgitated. It lapped everything up quickly, as if afraid that Ji Fengyan might change her mind.
Ji Fengyan kept her mouth shut as she was already used to the money-grubbing ways of that dragon. She had those three young dragons station themselves in the public square of Heavenly Courts.
Although they were only fledglings, their bodies were still rather big and it was a tight squeeze for them even in the s.p.a.cious public square.
The Heavenly Courts residents immediately crowded around to stare in amazement at those four legendary creatures.
Ji Fengyan had Linghe go fetch some elixirs. The three young dragons were in a terrible shape and their eyes were filled with fear, possessing none of the domineering aura of their kind. They appeared to be frightened even of those humans surrounding them. Trembling, the fledglings shrank deeper under the wings of the materialistic dragon.
The people of Heavenly Courts were very understanding and didn’t dare to go any closer. However, their minds were filled with questions.
How did their great queen come to know an ancient dragon?
And from what that golden dragon was saying, it had brought along these three fledglings to seek an asylum with Ji Fengyan. It was truly an eye-opener.
A group of ancient dragons seeking asylum. Where else could one witness something like this?
After realizing that the ancient dragon and Ji Fengyan were old friends, Chi Tong and Gong Zhiyu started looking at Ji Fengyan in a peculiar light.
Their great queen was outstanding!
Ji Fengyan had no time to explain to them, but instantly brought some elixirs over and checked the condition of those three young dragons. Under the encouragement of the materialistic dragon, those fledglings reluctantly swallowed Ji Fengyan’s elixirs. Nevertheless, their eyes remained fearful and they refused to budge an inch away from the materialistic dragon.
Ji Fengyan felt rather distressed by their condition. The words spoken previously by the demon Chang Pu suddenly sounded in her mind.
[The ancient dragons used to stand right at the top of the food chain in this world. They were strong and proud, but numbered only a few. Nevertheless, they lived long lives and did not suffer from illness or old age. Hence, they became the elite force here. However, the ancient dragons were not the only powerful race in this world. The other powerful beings poisoned the ancient dragons’ water source with a curse, causing the dragons’ strength to start fading.]
