NOVEL NEXT Chapter 112: If you let me eat roasted Dragon Claw, I will become the owner of Divine Sword Pavilion
"Big Dragon, can your Dragon Claws grow back if they're cut off?" At this moment, Chu Xin fixed her gaze on Long Ling's Dragon Claws, her round, expectant eyes twinkling with anticipation.
Even now, she was still obsessed with the idea of roasted Dragon Claws.
Whine!
Long Ling was startled, and the image of that mischievous child stabbing its neck to draw blood resurfaced in its mind. Suddenly, Long Ling's mouth gaped open as it let out an angry dragon's whine at Chu Xin, then dove headfirst into the Divine Sword Pond.
Cursed mischievous child, always eyeing the little bit of flesh on its body, detestable.
"Big Dragon, don't run away. If Dragon Claws won't do, how about a Dragon Head, a Dragon Tail? If not, even bleeding a bit more is fine," Chu Xin shouted, leaning over the edge of the pond.
Unfortunately,
"Dragon Claws?"
The Artifact Spirit elder's eyes lit up, and with a light cough, he said, "Young friend, if you carry the Divine Sword Pavilion with you, you will have an endless supply of Sword Beasts to eat. Also, that Divine Sword Tree, you could eat from it once every ten years. How does that sound?"
"Old Grandpa, can the Divine Sword Pavilion be placed inside the Sumeru Ring?" Chu Xin asked, puzzled.
"No!" The Artifact Spirit elder shook his head. Although the Divine Sword Pavilion was not for attacking, it was still a Divine Artifact. The Sumeru Ring would need to be of a higher grade than the Divine Sword Pavilion, of a Divine Artifact Level, to store Divine Artifacts.
On the Jiuzhou Continent, merely a mortal continent, how could there possibly be a Sumeru Ring of Divine Artifact Level?
Upon hearing this, Chu Xin craned her neck, looked around, and then down at herself, questioning, "Old Grandpa, the Divine Sword Pavilion is so big, and I'm so small, how can I carry it on me?"
The Artifact Spirit elder laughed and said, "As long as the Divine Sword Pavilion recognizes you as its master, it will automatically enter your body, and you can enter whenever you wish."
"Is that so?"
Chu Xin suddenly realized.
Chu Chen, who was grilling meat nearby, flipped the meat while reminding in a milky voice, "Sister, Daddy said we should take advantage of situations like this to extort some benefits."
"Right, right, I almost forgot."
Chu Xin nodded vigorously.
"Extort benefits?"
The Artifact Spirit elder's mouth twitched. Is this really what a proper father should teach?
"Yes."
Chu Xin nodded earnestly, without a hint of shame.
"Alright, what do you want to extort?" the Artifact Spirit elder said listlessly, feeling that he might have been wrong about his decision for a moment.
How could this mischievous child seem reliable?
Thinking of this child eating Ancient Treasures and Rune Characters, he even worried whether she might end up eating the Divine Sword Pavilion itself.
Chu Xin's round eyes rolled, then glanced at the nearby Divine Sword Pond, and said with a cheeky grin, "Old Grandpa, I want to eat roasted Dragon Claws, roasted Dragon Head, roasted Dragon Tail."
The Artifact Spirit elder rubbed his forehead, feeling quite the headache. From the moment the mischievous child looked toward the Divine Sword Pond, he guessed her intention.
"Roasting the Dragon Head is definitely not possible; Long Ling would die if its Dragon Head were cut off. As for roasted Dragon Claws and roasted Dragon Tail, I can discuss it with it," he said wearily.
"I can't have a roasted Dragon Head?"
Chu Xin's small eyebrows beneath her mask furrowed slightly, and then, waving her white little hand, she said, "Alright then, roasted Dragon Claws and roasted Dragon Tail will do. But it can't resist when I want to eat in the future."
The Artifact Spirit elder's mouth twitched. As the master of the Divine Sword Pavilion, both he and Long Ling couldn't go against the master's will, but they could still resist in such situations.
However, for the sake of restoring the Divine Sword Pavilion to, and even surpassing, its former glory, he would just have to inconvenience Long Ling.
He silently mourned for Long Ling in his heart, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go and discuss it with Long Ling."
After speaking, the Artifact Spirit elder's body flashed and disappeared.
Once the elder had left, Chu Xin bounced up happily and rushed in front of Chu Chen, saying excitedly, "Little brother, we can eat grilled Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail now, you can grill them."
"That's great, but can we still eat this meat? It's already grilled."
Chu Chen looked at the grilled Sword Beast meat in his hand and suddenly asked.
"Of course, we should eat it. Daddy says we can't waste food."
Chu Xin nodded and began eating the grilled meat while looking up at Long Shaoyu and the other two suspended in mid-air, murmuring, "Big brother doesn't know when he will wake up; if he doesn't hurry, we'll have finished all the grilled meat."
Chu Chen also glanced at Long Shaoyu and his companions, saying with a grin, "No worries, we'll just grill them some meat later."
Roar!
An angry dragon's roar came from the bottom of the Divine Sword Pond.
Chu Xin lay on the edge of the pond, eating grilled meat while looking at the water, then turned to Chu Chen after a moment and asked, "Little brother, do you think the big dragon will agree?"
Chu Chen, while grilling meat and taking a sip of Ice Beast Milk, thought for a moment and looked at the two-headed piglet nibbling on grilled meat, saying, "If the piglet agrees, the big dragon will definitely agree too."
Roar!
The two-headed piglet raised one of its heads and gave Chu Chen a look, emitting a sorrowful dragon's roar.
Did I agree? Wasn't I just tied up by you guys and had my head and hooves chopped off?
Chu Xin tapped her little head, muttering, "Yeah, even if the big dragon doesn't agree, Grandpa will surely beat it until it does."
"Mhmm!"
Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.
The two-headed piglet raised both its heads, giving Chu Xin and Chu Chen a look each, thinking to itself, these two little demons are always trying to eat someone's head, claws, tail, and such—is that really polite?
Whoosh!
Just then, the Artifact Spirit elder reappeared, holding four Dragon Claws and one Dragon Tail, all bloody.
The Dragon Tail was longer than the siblings put together, and each Dragon Claw was bigger than their whole bodies.
"Done!"
The elder revealed a hint of a smile, placing the Dragon Claws and Tail in front of the grill and said with a laugh, "Young friend, Long Ling has agreed, now you can become the master of the Divine Sword Pavilion, right?"
Chu Xin's eyes lit up, she licked her lips but pretended to be indifferent, "Alright then, if that's the case, I'll reluctantly become the master of the Divine Sword Pavilion. But, we have to eat the grilled Dragon Claw and Tail first."
The elder's eyelids twitched; in this Secret Realm, if any Jiuzhou Heavenly Pride could become the master of the Divine Sword Pavilion, they would be thrilled enough to lose all sense of direction.
This brat, on the other hand, had just received four Dragon Claws and a Dragon Tail yet was still reluctant?
Oh well, it was too late to turn back now. As long as this brat could become the master of the Divine Sword Pavilion, it would be worth it.
"Little brother! Grill the Dragon Claws and Tail first."
Chu Xin turned to Chu Chen, urging him as drool couldn't help but flow from the corner of her mouth.
Ever since she saw the Divine Dragon in the Mimic Space during the Lanzhou tournament, she had been dreaming about grilled dragon meat. Now, at last, she could have her wish fulfilled.
"Okay!"
Chu Chen nodded, his round eyes also shining brightly.
It was his first time grilling Dragon Claws and Tails, and he was actually quite excited.
