Chapter 284: There is a vixen in front and Jiang Ningshuang, the vixen behind
"Is the dragon fruit red or white?"
Lu Zhan looked at Xiao Chu's serious expression and asked curiously.
All the elixirs related to dragons are extremely rare, but are their names a bit sloppy?
pitaya--
This name made it difficult for Lu Zhan to take it seriously.
Xiao Chu put his hands behind his back and said, "It depends on whether the blood of the Winged Fire Dragon is pure. Although it is a variant of the dragon race, it has gone through countless years, and its dragon blood has long been diluted."
"Only relatively pure bloodlines can produce red-heart dragon fruit, but this is extremely rare. Most of them have white hearts."
"Strictly speaking, the white-hearted dragon fruit has nothing to do with the Winged Fire Dragon Clan. It was born and raised naturally, while the red-hearted ones were cultivated by them."
Lu Zhan listened to her serious scientific explanation and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The name really does affect the style of painting. For example, some people are called Zhang San, and some are called Lu Zhan.
After a moment's silence, Lu Zhan said, "I'll go with you. It's a good opportunity for me to see it. I haven't seen the dragon tribe yet. But I have to go back home before I go. Huoyun Mountain is quite far away, so I have to go back and make some arrangements."
Chu Wantang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Give an explanation to that vixen in your family?"
Lu Zhan looked embarrassed: "What are you talking about? I'm here to repay my gratitude."
"Ha ha……"
Xiao Chu sneered, "I have seen the ways the foxes repay their gratitude. Otherwise, where do you think the story of the scholar and the fox came from? It was originally the scholar's imagination, but later it became true."
Lu Zhan: “…”
Lu Zhan was speechless for a moment. The fox clan’s way of repaying a favor was indeed simple and crude.
Or maybe the monster's way of repaying a favor is simple and crude.
If the benefactor is handsome, then I will repay him with my body. If the benefactor is ordinary, then I will repay him in other ways.
Bai Bai is the type who is willing to pledge her love to someone.
Lu Zhan did not explain deliberately. It was rare for him to go on a "mission" with Xiao Chu. Compared to the fox's gratitude, he was more curious about Huoyun Mountain.
Although he had known Chu Wantang for a long time and their relationship had gradually become closer, the number of times they had gone on "missions" together was very few. They knew the general idea of each other's skills, but did not know the details.
A trip to Huoyun Mountain may allow one to witness the true power of the Heart Sword.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan said, "Don't waste time. I'll go home first."
Chu Wantang said nothing more. She walked silently with Lu Zhan towards home.
-
It has been sunny these past two days and the snow has almost melted. The pines and bamboos in front of the door are green and lush, and have not been affected by the severe cold.
On the contrary, without the piles of snow, Merlin's backyard lacked some interest.
When Lu Zhan returned home, Bai Bai was playing in the plum forest in the guise of a fox, looking very happy.
"Owner!"
Sensing Lu Zhan's movement, Bai Bai quickened his running speed and instantly appeared in front of Lu Zhan like a streak of white light.
The next moment, she transformed into a plump and stern fox girl, with surging breasts and a big tail swaying gently behind her.
Chu Wantang crossed her arms across her chest, looked at the vixen's "despicable" figure, and turned her face away coldly.
Although Xiao Chu was using the jade pendant to suppress her temper and her emotions were very cold, Chu Wantang knew that even if she was normal, she didn't like these vixens.
Jiang Ningshuang is annoying enough, and now there’s a real vixen.
"cough……"
Lu Zhan coughed dryly to ease the embarrassment and introduced: "This is my close friend, Chu Wantang, and this is the little fox, Baibai."
Bai Bai waved towards Chu Wantang and said naively, "Hello, Miss Chu."
"Yeah." Xiao Chu didn't put on airs and smiled politely, but there was no joy in his heart.
After the introduction, Lu Zhan told him about his trip to Huoyun Mountain: "It will probably take two or three days to get back. You can stay at home for the next two days. If you want to go out and play, go ahead. Don't be restrained."
"Let me carry the master on my back. The journey to Huoyun Mountain is long and very tiring." Baibai said seriously with kindness in his big eyes.
Lu Zhan glanced at Xiao Chu behind him and refused righteously: "How can I ride you? Even if you want to repay me, you don't have to be my mount. I'm not that kind of person."
Baibai blinked, took Lu Zhan's arm, and said seriously: "Baibai is willing to do this. Not only is he willing to be a mount, but he can also cook for the master, chat with the master, help the master fight, and sleep with the master - um - (w)..."
Before Bai Bai could finish her words, Lu Zhan covered her mouth.
Even if you really intend to do this, there is no need to say it openly...
What's more, it was in front of other girls, which was awkward...
Lu Zhan covered his embarrassment with a smile: "What are you talking about? Don't say these words again. Although I saved you, I didn't treat you as a slave."
"Mmm!" Baibai blinked his big eyes and made a 'mmm' sound to show that he understood.
Only then did Lu Zhan let the little fox go.
The little fox took a few quick breaths, then smiled and took Lu Zhan's arm, letting the big watermelon be pressed into an arc.
Seeing this, Chu Wantang frowned slightly: "We should set off now. I have already informed the Demon Suppression Bureau."
"Okay..." Lu Zhan was determined to keep Xiaobai.
Xiaobai is different from Jiang Jiang. Jiang Jiang is like a silly boy, but he still has some brains.
Xiaobai is pure and cute, and doesn't know anything...
If I go out alone, I can bring him with me to entertain myself, but when I go out with Chu Wantang, it’s better not to bring him with me!
-
"Why don't you like Xiaobai? Isn't her silly look cute?"
After leaving the house, Lu Zhan glanced at Chu Wantang, who had a cold expression, and asked casually.
Chu Wantang took a deep breath and naturally denied it: "I don't dislike her, I just think that with her cultivation level, it would only cause trouble if she followed. I would rather Jiang Ningshuang followed than have a vixen drag her down... Jiang Ningshuang is still of some use after all."
"Is it true?" Lu Zhan asked in surprise.
Chu Wantang didn't even turn his head: "It's fake."
As soon as the words fell, a figure in red walked out from the corner of the street. Jiang Jiang, with an open mind, came with her hands behind her back. As she walked, her red skirt fluttered in the wind like a floating butterfly.
Jiang Ningshuang had originally gone to look for Lu Zhan, but unexpectedly ran into him on the street. She asked curiously, "I think I heard you mentioned me. What are you going to do?"
Chu Wantang's face became increasingly ugly. She should have grabbed Lu Zhan by the collar and left instead of accompanying him home.
Just after getting rid of the clingy vixen, here comes another stupid vixen.
Jiang Ningshuang really couldn't help but talk about it.
Chu Wantang was upset.
"Let's go to Huoyun Mountain and pick some dragon fruit." Lu Zhan also felt it was a coincidence and did not hide the matter of Huoyun Mountain.
Jiang Jiang's eyes lit up: "Fire Cloud Mountain? Can I go with you?"
After practicing the Purple Qi Bu Tian Jue for such a long time, Jiang Ningshuang has always wanted to find an opportunity to really practice it and see her results.
Unfortunately, there has never been a suitable opportunity. Now that Jiang Jiang heard that Lu Zhan was going to Huoyun Mountain, she immediately became interested.
Not only can I fight alongside my lover, but I can also hone myself...it's really killing two birds with one stone.
Chu Wantang didn't even think about it: "No need, your realm is too low, are you going to hold us back?!"
After saying that, Chu Wantang looked at Lu Zhan and said, "We should leave now. Long Ma is waiting in front."
Lu Zhan: “…”
The situation suddenly became a little complicated. Xiao Chu's meaning was very clear, and he was clearly asking him to choose one of the two.
Xiao Chu seems to be very clever, but I didn't expect that he would be black when he was cut open. How can he choose this?
Lu Zhan thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang Jiang and said, "Huoyun Mountain is an active volcano. It's very dangerous. Don't go there for such an adventurous thing. I'll bring you two white-heart dragon fruits later. Just wait for me at home."
It's not that he favors Xiao Chu, but Lu Zhan also has his own considerations...
If we don't let Jiang Jiang go with us now, she might just complain a little, but we can make her happy by coaxing her a few words.
But if he let Jiang Jiang go with him, considering Jiang Jiang's bad habits of being both inexperienced and playful, Lu Zhan didn't dare to imagine what would happen along the way.
At that time, he will be caught in the middle, unable to offend either side, which would be very uncomfortable.
"..."
Jiang Ningshuang pouted, looking somewhat unhappy, but she could also see Lu Zhan's dilemma.
Thinking about it carefully, this matter itself had nothing to do with her. She just happened to meet Lu Zhan and happened to know about it.
We can't let Lu Zhan offend Chu Wantang because of this.
To offend Chu Wantang is to offend the Grand Master. How will her family survive in the Demon Suppression Bureau then?
Jiang Ningshuang weighed the pros and cons and decided that since she was worried about Lu Zhan, she could follow him from a distance and come out to help when necessary.
There was no need for her to go with Chu Wantang, as she also happened to hate Chu Wantang...
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningshuang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then I won't go. You better be careful when watching chess. I'll wait for you in Bianjing."
Lu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Jiang was indeed his. She was considerate and thoughtful.
After talking to Jiang Jiang for a few more words, Lu Zhan followed Xiao Chu and left.
-
The dragon horse took the carriage into the air, constantly shuttling through space in mid-air, and soon left the city of Bianjing behind.
Huoyun Mountain is an active volcano located in the southwest of Da Zhou and has existed since ancient times.
It is said that in ancient times, Huoyun Mountain once erupted with such force that it shook the world and destroyed the surrounding area for thousands of miles.
The destroyed ground was polished over time and eventually became a plain, which is today's Southern Plains.
Ziwei Gate, one of the immortal gates, is located in the southern plains.
The dragon fruit is a unique product of Huoyun Mountain.
It is said that the pitaya originally had a white skin. When Huoyun Mountain erupted, many spiritual plants were affected, but the pitaya plant was the only one that was not destroyed by the magma. Instead, it was burned into a red skin, which contains the spirit of the volcano and is quite rare.
Later, the Winged Fire Dragon clan migrated there, occupied the dragon fruit, and used their essence and blood to nourish the dragon fruit, which accelerated the growth cycle of the dragon fruit and cultivated the red-heart dragon fruit.
Strictly speaking...they go to pick dragon fruit, but actually they go to dance on the dragon head.
But there is no way... The world of immortal cultivation has always been cruel, and everyone wants the spiritual herbs and medicines.
Lu Zhan didn't want to talk about those big principles. He was not afraid of the Winged Fire Dragon, but he was a little afraid of Fire Cloud Mountain.
The stones in the world of immortal cultivation are very difficult to deal with... and volcanoes are not ordinary mountains.
Once it erupts, the consequences will be disastrous. Even cultivators will find it difficult to resist the power of the volcano.
"Huoyun Mountain is an active volcano. If we go there, it won't suddenly erupt, right?"
The atmosphere in the carriage was not good, and Lu Zhan made small talk, asking more about Huoyun Mountain.
Chu Wantang closed his eyes and rested, not even opening them: "I'm not that unlucky."
"Maybe I do..." Lu Zhan said dimly.
Chu Wantang stopped talking. She could tell that Lu Zhan was just making small talk, so she ignored him and continued to sit upright with her eyes closed, muttering to herself about Jiang Ningshuang and the vixen.
"Can you please turn off your jade pendant? There is no outsider here." Lu Zhan said.
Chu Wantang said calmly: "It's already closed."
closed?
Lu Zhan glanced at her. His cold look was just like Ling Jiaoyue. You told me that you turned off the sage mode?
Chu Wantang seemed to be unable to sit still after being looked at by Lu Zhan. She opened her eyes, frowned, and spoke unhappily:
"It's closed, so it is. I just think it's troublesome for you to go out, and I'm a little impatient."
In the past, when I went out to do things with Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan would go without saying a word. But now, there are hindrances everywhere.
Chu Wantang felt weird in his heart. He couldn’t tell what he was feeling, but he just felt unhappy.
"Please understand. Brother, you are old now, and it is not easy to have two or three close female friends..." Lu Zhan said with a bitter face.
Chu Wantang said sternly: "At such an age?"
"..." Lu Zhan smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's talk about the volcano. It is said that Huoyun Mountain has not erupted for two thousand years. If the two of us go there, what if it erupts?"
Chu Wantang wanted to say something to Lu Zhan, but then she thought, why was she unhappy? Why was she impatient? She already knew about Lu Zhan and Jiang Ningshuang's affair.
It seems that there is indeed something wrong with my mentality, and I urgently need dragon fruit to improve it.
Chu Wantang took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation in his heart, and said: "Although Huoyun Mountain has erupted before, it was only in the past. Otherwise, how could the Winged Fire Dragon Clan dare to live in Huoyun Mountain? At this time of year, most of the Winged Fire Dragons are dormant inside the volcano. We can go quietly and come back quietly, and nothing will happen."
The Winged Fire Dragon is of the fire element. Wherever it goes, there is flame. It is not welcomed by the people.
Pterosaurs usually like to hibernate in flames, so when winter comes, they will tacitly enter the inside of the volcano.
Of course, volcanic magma should not be underestimated. It is much hotter than ordinary flames. Even if a Charmander falls into it, it cannot withstand the heat. They dare not swim in the magma, but will hibernate on the rocks near the lava.
Lu Zhan was a little worried: "The more you say this, the more nervous I feel..."
"Ok?"
"If a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will cause a toothache. You know the protagonist in the storybook, right? Wherever he goes, strange things will happen... The more you say that Huoyun Mountain will not erupt, the more worried I am..."
Some flags really cannot be set.
Although they are now at a good level of cultivation, volcanoes are the power of nature, and Huoyun Mountain is a volcano that has existed since ancient times. Once it erupts, the consequences will be unimaginable. Humans are still too small in front of volcanoes.
Chu Wantang looked at him strangely: "A volcano that hasn't erupted for two thousand years, could it erupt just because we went there? In recent years, many cultivators have gone to Huoyun Mountain to seek opportunities, and the Winged Fire Dragon Clan has always lived in Huoyun Mountain. According to the physique of the dragon clan, they can go through so much every day without any problems, let alone us?"
Lu Zhan thought for a moment: "That's right..."
Seeing that Lu Zhan was really worried, Chu Wantang said, "Instead of worrying about the volcanic eruption, it's better to worry about the Winged Fire Dragon. The Winged Fire Dragon is a social animal and is not easy to provoke... But I heard that in the Sichuan area, some people like to use Winged Fire Dragon for hot pot. They say that Winged Fire Dragon meat is a treasure. It can not only strengthen the body, but also make medicine to cure some strange diseases."
