Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 486 - 257: Recovery of the Sea Dragon

"Lord Water Dragon, Lord Water Dragon?"

Li Ang called out in the empty underground cave.

The Steel Giant stood silently, the Sea Dragon Skeleton had long merged with the earth and rocks. Except for the fluctuations of the Water Elemental Spirit transmitted by the scattered Water Crystals, there was no other movement here.

Li Ang tried to think about how Meimei communicated with this rabbit. She naturally knew some spiritual methods to connect with all the Water Spirits on this water-rich island. He also wanted to imitate this form to achieve something similar.

Sensing the Water Spirits throughout the cave, he then tried to stir them, attempting to make that rabbit notice that he was looking for it.

After a busy while, there was still no response.

"Strange, where did that damn rabbit go?" Li Ang muttered to himself.

"The damn rabbit is here."

He suddenly felt something heavy on his head, as the soft and crumpled Moon Concealing Rabbit appeared.

"Well," the Water Dragon said, "I came out late just to see if you were cursing me, and indeed you were."

"You misheard, I clearly said ’dragonesque rabbit.’

"Nonsense!"

The Moon Concealing Rabbit gave him a few cotton-like punches on the head, then jumped onto his shoulder and into his arms.

The rabbit’s nose sniffed around the lunch box, and Li Ang said, "This is prepared for you."

"Rabbits can’t eat meat, but thank you for the gesture."

She stood akimbo and said, "Trying to please me?"

"Yes," Li Ang admitted without hesitation.

"Well, there’s some sincerity, but it’s not of much practical use. Keep trying."

Akuya nodded and explained further.

"It’s not that I’m picky, the rabbit you see is just a rabbit. My incarnation has power, relying on the knowledge of controlling power, but it’s limited by the rabbit’s body, and things that can’t be done can’t be achieved. You really want me to fight against a Level 9 or Legendary, I can’t do it either."

Li Ang nodded, but then heard her say, "However, this cooking is far worse than the barbecue shops in the City of Trade, and you didn’t even prepare beer."

Li Ang felt his fists clench.

"Besides bringing barbecue, did you call the dragon ancestor here for anything else?"

Originally, there wasn’t any, but after the conversation just now, there was.

Li Ang slightly frowned and asked, "When did you become Meimei’s pet?"

"Not long after Leviathan’s power recovered, I can’t remember clearly, she was just a little Douding back then, maybe half her current height."

Half her height?

Meimei now seems to be just over ten years old, not the robust kind either. If she was less than half her current height, even with the rabbit’s exaggerated description, that might have been when she was four or five years old.

"Why are you asking this?" the Water Dragon asked curiously.

"She’s not an ordinary child." Li Ang continued.

"Of course not, otherwise, would the dragon ancestor take a fancy to her? Wait, you harem bastard aren’t thinking of targeting her, are you?"

"It’s unrelated."

What Li Ang wanted to say about her being not ordinary wasn’t about talent, but her kind of worry and unease about the future. Even a child in a complex modern Earth family, in an insecure environment, might not perfectly weave their inner emotions into such expressions of negative assumptions about the future.

"Is it really true that except for spiritual talent and water attribute affinity, she has no other abilities? Like prophecy?"

Li Ang had just checked with the game panel, and it showed she was just an ordinary child.

But the game’s observation system can’t display everything; it couldn’t express what Farlonio or the Moon Concealing Rabbit were hiding either.

"How could there be? I’ve been around her day and night, she’s just a normal kid; she hadn’t used any powers before contacting Otto and you."

Though the rabbit flatly denied it when Li Ang asked, he could tell it wasn’t quite confident.

"Sigh, but now I’m really just a rabbit. If she were really complex-minded enough to hide something, I wouldn’t be able to sense it. The child has her own ideas."

Akuya continued to explain that a so-called Divine Incarnation is not a "clone" or "transformation" of the God but a temporary body relied upon because the main body cannot manifest for some reason.

"Because all Water Elements in the world are unified, the dragon ancestor has aspects of the Six Water Dragons and Sea Dragon Ancestor. To understand with mortal thinking, it’s like one soul many bodies, and the power of water in this island isn’t from the Water Dragon supporting the world but from the already-passed Sea Dragon. Diana has been nurturing the water here for many years, so the Sea Dragon’s power was able to recover, and it formed the Moon Concealing Rabbit incarnation through this bit of power, which has multiple layers of separation from the dragon ancestor.

She looked at Li Ang with a "fierce" gaze: "You don’t think the dragon ancestor is unreliable, do you?"

Li Ang didn’t immediately respond, so she hurriedly said, "No way? You don’t?"

"A little."

Now, Meimei was clearly different, and although it was asking too much of a rabbit, it would indeed harm the Divine Spirit’s dignity if she hadn’t noticed at all.

The Moon Concealing Rabbit’s fur bristled in anger: "Fine, fine, I’ll have the avatar from the City of Trade come over."

"Would coming here reveal something?"

"You dare not believe me?!"

The rabbit punched several times.

"It’s not about not believing you, just wanting to see for myself."

"Fine, fine, at the next Six Dragons Meeting, let that weird-chested deputy bring you to the Six Dragons Divine Realm to let you experience the might of the Divine Spirit."

Stop it; the more you talk, the less imposing it sounds.

"Enough. It’s not the first day the dragon ancestor has been looked down upon."

The Moon Concealing Rabbit looked very aggrieved: "If the water on all the islands keeps depleting, one day the dragon ancestor will completely fall."
