The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 736 - 733: We’re Brothers Now
Moments later, the mist dissipated.
The surface of Black Water Lake was littered with ice debris and floating bodies.
Wu Yuan spotted the Cloud Rain Ruler at a glance and picked it up.
"Wow, this thing is really freezing to the touch." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Wu Yuan withdrew his hand immediately after touching it.
"This must be something belonging to Grandmaster Jin."
Xin Lin took a look at the ruler.
With her current discernment, she knew that the Cloud Rain Ruler was no ordinary object.
After pondering for a bit, she gathered a portion of the Fire Spirit in her palm and picked up the ruler,
"A Star-shining Level Spiritual Treasure, neither of us can make use of it, so I’ll leave it to you."
Wu Xuan looked over Black Water Lake with deep emotion.
"This time, we really almost died down there."
"What are you two planning?"
Not knowing yet how to handle the Cloud Rain Ruler, Xin Lin stored it in the Tuling hairpin, planning to see how to use it once she got back.
"Going back to our own homes, to our own mothers."
Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders.
"You’re giving up on the Dragon Vein?"
Xin Lin blinked.
"That’s a living dragon, how interesting. Longteng actually has a living dragon. If this news gets out, Longteng Country is likely to be thrown into chaos."
Wu Yuan’s face was filled with playfulness.
Not to mention anything else, if those Summoning Masters on the mainland who could command the elements learned of the existence of a True Dragon, a small country like Longteng would probably be trampled flat.
Xin Lin did not ask further; affairs of the nation were not her concern.
Wu Xuan also looked pensive, evidently contemplating the matter of the living dragon.
The three of them left Black Water Lake together.
When they returned to the foot of Qin Mountain, Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan had to part ways with Xin Lin, and then they each started their journey home.
It was already deep into the night, and as Xin Lin returned to Qingtian Academy, dawn was nearly breaking.
"Hehe, Xin Lin, I’m growing fonder of you by the moment, loving that shameless, devil-may-care attitude! From now on, we’re brothers."
Wu Yuan clapped Xin Lin’s shoulder with gusto, displaying a camaraderie like that of close brothers.
No sooner had Wu Yuan’s "paw" landed on Xin Lin’s shoulder, he felt a chill creeping up his back.
He shivered and turned to look.
There was nothing behind him.
It must be an illusion, just an illusion, Wu Yuan chanted in his mind.
After all, they were no longer in the Dragon Ancient Tomb, surely the Corpse King wouldn’t follow them out.
Still, Wu Yuan immediately withdrew his hand.
"Xin Lin, I have a token here; take it. If one day you come to Fuzhou, use this token to look for me at Tu Su’s House. I’ll be sure to treat you with great hospitality."
Wu Xuan, without as much chatter as Wu Yuan, simply handed Xin Lin a token in a concise manner.
"Thanks to you both, if I have time, I will definitely visit Fuzhou."
Having arrived in Longteng not long ago, Xin Lin was not very familiar with the geography of the mainland.
The name Fuzhou sounded foreign to her, and she did not know which part of the mainland it was situated in. Xin Lin casually accepted the token, not taking Wu Xuan’s words too seriously.
The three exchanged smiles.
Although they had not known each other for a long time, they had established a bond through shared adversity.
After a heartfelt farewell, they went their separate ways.
"How long will the dragon in the tomb sleep?"
Xin Lin touched the Sealing Spirit Talisman No.1.
Thinking of Gui Hu’s complexion after he executed the Ghost God Fist Third Move, Xin Lin’s tone unconsciously softened a bit.
Although Gui Hu didn’t mention it, Xin Lin vaguely guessed that Gui Hu’s punch had drained him significantly.
"It’s uncertain. Your stab has only put it to sleep; it could wake up in as short as one year or as long as three years."
