The great dragons roared back and forth at each other. After a long while, the result of their roaring was to go catch another godfather for Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan clenched his chubby fists, his round face tense with protest. “No, I don’t want new ones! Yuan Yuan only wants Godfather!”
“Yuan Yuan doesn’t want Godfather to die.”
Feng Yuan’s small, upturned face was already streaked with tears.
His dark, lustrous eyes were welling up.
Seeing him cry, the great dragons immediately panicked.
“Roar!”
Don’t cry!
“Roar roar!”
Baby, we won’t let him die!
“Roar roar roar!”
Quick, save him! Save him!
A group of dragons urgently prepared to rescue him.
They gathered around Yu Yi, their large heads huddled together, roaring and discussing how to save him.
It was common knowledge that a dragon’s entire body was a treasure trove.
To save a person, a dragon only needed to make a small sacrifice.
The dragons pushed and nudged each other until finally, Bai Chen stepped forward.
“I’ll offer dragon blood!”
“I can grind a bit of my dragon horn powder for him.”
Several dragons offered up parts of themselves.
However, they did not offer dragon’s breath or dragon’s saliva, which have significant medicinal value.
Dragon’s breath had to be transferred mouth-to-mouth.
And dragon’s saliva had an aphrodisiac effect on humans.
So, although the dragons knew it could be useful, they didn’t use them on him.
Since Yu Yi needed to stay here for treatment, Feng Yuan, who had originally planned to run away, quickly changed his mind.
He decided to stay.
Yu Yi was placed in the red dragon’s den, which Feng Yuan had determined was the most comfortable.
The red dragon’s den was only slightly inferior to the clan leader’s.
Among the dragons here, the clan leader was the best at building dens!
Feng Yuan followed his godfather to the Red Dragon’s nest.
The red dragon was thrilled to have the little cub visit.
As soon as they arrived, he mashed a fish into a paste and lovingly handed it to Feng Yuan.
“Roar.”
Eat up, baby.
Feng Yuan: “…”
Feng Yuan sighed.
With a pained expression, Feng Yuan finished the unpalatable fish paste.
Since his godfather was unconscious, Feng Yuan had to force himself to eat more to have the strength to take care of him.
The dragon clan’s “medicine” had some effect.
Yu Yi, who had been on the brink of death with only a faint breath left, was pulled back from the gates of the underworld.
His breathing became much steadier than before.
His previously undetectable pulse was also slowly returning.
But he still hadn’t woken up.
Feng Yuan sat beside his godfather, listening to his heartbeat every now and then.
As he stayed with his godfather, the silver dragon stayed with him.
“Roar, roar?”
He’s just a human. Why do you want to be his cub?
Feng Yuan himself wasn’t human, so the silver dragon was a bit puzzled by his relationship with a human.
“I have two dads. One dad is a phoenix, and the other dad is a human.”
“This is my godfather.”
Feng Yuan explained his relationship with humans and with his godfather.
The silver dragon let out a roar, indicating that he understood.
As members of the dragon clan living at the bottom of the sea, they had never been interested in humans.
Usually, when humans fell into the water and ended up in their territory, they were already dead.
Finding one who wasn’t completely dead this time was a miracle.
It was also fortunate that Feng Yuan hadn’t asked them to find another one.
In this vast, deep sea, even if they wanted to find another human who had fallen in, they probably wouldn’t be able to.
Moreover, their principle was never to go ashore and harm humans.
They had no intention of destroying the peaceful relationship between dragons and humans.
“Will my godfather wake up today?”
“Roar.”
I don’t know.
The dragon and the cub stayed in the den for quite a while before Feng Yuan stood up from his godfather’s side.
He walked over to the silver dragon.
“Uncle, could you watch over my godfather for a little while?”
Feng Yuan was afraid that when his godfather woke up, he would also have to eat the disgusting paste.
He wanted to ask the clan leader for some tasty food to bring back.
Before the silver dragon could reply to his request, Feng Yuan stood on his chubby tiptoes and kissed the silver dragon.
“Watch over him for Yuan Yuan, okay?”
“Roar.”
Okay.
The silver dragon’s roar practically rippled with delight.
With the silver dragon keeping an eye on Yu Yi, Feng Yuan headed straight for the clan leader’s home.
Along the way, Feng Yuan didn’t encounter many dragons.
Ever since the little cub’s arrival, the dragons couldn’t stay put in their dens anymore. They had all gone out to search for treasures for Feng Yuan.
In the depths of the sea, the group of dragons had been having a delightful time these past few days.
Meanwhile, on the shore, Feng Qi and his group had completely set up camp.
Qin Xun used divination methods to check on Feng Yuan and Yu Yi’s situation.
According to the divination results—
Feng Yuan was doing well.
He was now the center of attention, with many beings protecting and doting on him.
And Yu Yi’s result had also turned from ominous to auspicious.
Feng Qi still had some faith in the divination methods created by humans.
This stuff had been quite effective thousands of years ago.
Feng Qi paid special attention to Yu Yi’s situation.
Yu Yi was just an ordinary human. His condition was the most worrying.
Feng Qi could sense his son’s safety.
He knew his son was fine even without the divination. But he had been uncertain about whether Yu Yi was still alive before.
Now, after several days, Feng Qi flew over the sea almost daily.
He was urging the dragons in the sea: Return my cub!
The dragons below were not entirely unaware of the situation on the surface.
But their moral standards were really not like those of humans.
They continued to play deaf.
Bai Chen, who had first brought the little cub back, did roar to the other dragons—
He would go up there.
This time, he would invite that phoenix to come over as well.
It would be quite suitable for dragons and phoenixes to live together.
As for the specific living arrangements, they could discuss that later.
The little cub was completely unaware of what the adults were doing.
Right now, the little cub was solely focused on getting something to eat.
He skillfully found his way to the clan leader’s home.
After going inside, he found out that the clan leader wasn’t there. But there was food on his table again!
Feng Yuan really wanted to eat it.
He climbed next to the food, swallowing his saliva as he waited for the golden dragon to return.
He waited and waited until he had fallen asleep lying on the floor, before the gold dragon finally came back.
Unlike the other dragons, the golden dragon didn’t have boundless tolerance and affection for the little cub.
The golden dragon was quite aloof.
Even though he saw the little cub sleeping, he still poked him awake, intending to send him away.
Feng Yuan rubbed his eyes.
“Uncle Golden Dragon, you’re back.”
This time, Feng Yuan was only poked awake rather than being lifted awake, which he found quite satisfying.
After rubbing his eyes, he made his request to the golden dragon.
“Can Yuan Yuan have some food?”
Feng Yuan looked at the golden dragon with a pitiful expression. “Only the food here is the most delicious.”
The food the other dragons got for him was all so unpalatable.
The golden dragon looked down at the little cub.
In just a few days, the cub’s cheeks didn’t look as rosy as when he first arrived.
“Roar.”
Take the food and go.
The golden dragon permitted him to take the food away.
Hearing his consent, Feng Yuan’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Thank you!”
“Yuan Yuan is leaving now. See you later!”
When Feng Yuan said ‘See you later’, he truly meant they would meet again.
In the future, whenever he wanted to eat, he would come to the golden dragon’s den to ask for food.
The golden dragon’s place had fruit, thin slices of fish that could actually be eaten raw, and shrimp meat that was naturally sweet.
On his trip to the bottom of the sea, Feng Yuan had only enjoyed a seafood buffet at the gold dragon’s home.
He had no allergic reactions.
So far, Feng Yuan had never been allergic to any kind of food.
Feng Yuan had solved his food problem.
But Yu Yi’s coma remained unresolved. He still hadn’t woken up.
Dragons had been treating him continuously.
Seeing that Yu Yi wasn’t waking up, Feng Yuan grew increasingly anxious as he watched.
“Is my godfather just incurable?”
Feng Yuan held Yu Yi’s hand, tears streaming down his cheeks.
His small, milky voice trembled with sobs: “If godfather dies, what will Yuan Yuan do?”
A three-year-old cub couldn’t bear the pain of separation and death.
He was utterly terrified.
Whenever Feng Yuan cried, the group of cub-doting dragons would become anxious along with him.
The dragons gathered together, racking their brains for a solution.
“Let’s give him some dragon’s breath.”
“Oh, right, I told you about that black flood dragon transforming into a dragon. It seems he’s having a hard time, too. Why don’t we capture him and see if he’s succeeded?”
“I feel like the aura protecting this human is a bit like that flood dragon’s.”
“Maybe he really could be of use.”
In the eyes of dragons, flood dragons were generally looked down upon.
It wasn’t just them. Other ancient divine beasts were also mostly arrogant.
They considered the flood dragon to be lowly.
Dragons who transformed from a flood dragon held a low status within the dragon clan.
Fortunately, however, the dragon clan valued strength the most.
As long as one’s combat prowess was strong enough, even if they had transformed from a flood dragon, they could defeat other dragons and gradually elevate their status.
In the dragon clan, strength was supreme.
“That flood dragon seems to be injured. Should we really bring him here?”
“Let’s do it. He still has his final lightning tribulation. We’ll go help him block it, at least let him get here alive.”
“Alright.”
The dragons roared in agreement as they finalized their plan.
They were all action-oriented. Once they reached a consensus, they set off to retrieve the black flood dragon.
That night, thunder and rainstorms raged again hundreds of miles away.
After the storm, a scarred black flood dragon, who had successfully completed his transformation, was brought back to the bottom of the sea by the other dragons.
A dragon’s self-healing ability was very strong.
Newly transformed dragons, in particular, seemed to have unlocked a “newcomer’s gift pack”.
After swimming back from hundreds of miles away, his wounds had already begun to heal in a short time.
While bringing the black dragon back, the other dragons encountered the golden dragon.
The golden dragon showed no discrimination towards this newcomer.
The golden dragon had always been equally indifferent to all dragons.
“Clan leader, he’s also a dragon and has no clan. I brought him back to recover.”
“Didn’t we also pick up a human? We were thinking of letting them recover together…”
The dragons hadn’t even finished their explanation to the golden dragon before he had already left.
After the golden dragon left, the others quickly took the black dragon back to their nest.
“By the way, we never asked. What’s your name?”
“Wu Jin.”
Wu Jin, having just completed his transformation, was still a bit tired.
But he hadn’t forgotten that these dragons had helped him block the lightning.
He also knew they had brought him here to save someone.
Before the other dragons could speak, Wu Jin spoke first: “My dragon’s breath and saliva are not available. I already have a mate.”
The other dragons: “???”
All the dragons’ expressions fell in an instant.
They had traveled thousands of miles specifically for his dragon’s breath and saliva!
“Can you really not save him?”
The red dragon was unwilling to let his plan fall through. He growled, “The human we want you to save is very beautiful.”
“My mate is also beautiful.”
Wu Jin’s gaze remained completely unmoved. His loyalty to his mate made the other dragons sigh.
“Ah. Then it’s over.”
“If it really comes down to it, I’ll do it! My name is Ling Yi, and this human is called Yu Yi. I think we’re quite a match!”
“At worst, I’ll just ask him to be my mate.”
The idea of making a human their mate left the other dragons aghast.
“Don’t do that! Human lives are too fragile. It’s not good for you to fall in love with a human!”
“That’s right! Your sacrifice is too great. I think you should let me do it!”
One by one, the dragons began to argue.
They decided that one of them would ask the human to form a bond.
If the human agreed, they would share everything with this human.
Dragons were quite loyal when it came to emotions.
As the dragons continued to argue, Wu Jin, who was standing to the side, felt his heart pound violently.
He asked uncertainly, “The human you’re talking about, what’s his name?”
“Yu Yi. Yu as in—”
“Where is he?”
Wu Jin cut off the other’s explanation, directly asking for Yu Yi’s whereabouts.
“He’s… he’s in the innermost den.”
The red dragon pointed toward the farthest den.
As soon as he finished pointing, the black dragon, who had just claimed he had a mate and couldn’t help, picked up the human in the den and kissed him, transferring both his dragon’s breath and saliva.
The group of innocent dragons: “!”
