Mushroom Man

Chapter 332 A congenital ailment, meeting the King together

With the departure of the Golden Dragon King, the 'mountain' that had been looming over everyone's hearts was instantly swept away.

Ao Miaoyin visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, his old ailment was aggravated.

An unnatural blush appeared on her face, her throat tasted metallic, and her body trembled slightly.

Wu Liang was supporting Ao Miaoyin the whole time.

He immediately noticed Ao Miaoyin's unusual behavior.

"Miss Miaoyin, are you alright?"

"I just noticed that you were putting on a brave face, as if you had something difficult to say."

"If necessary, I will go and inform Senior Silver Dragon King right now."

Seeing Ao Miaoyin's pained expression, Wu Liang couldn't help but speak softly.

Ao Miaoyin didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Young Master Wu.

She forced down the metallic taste in her throat, then shook her head and forced a smile, saying, "Don't worry, Young Master Wu, this is just an old problem of mine."

"Miaoyin has been frail since childhood and suffers from chronic illnesses. She will recover after this period of time."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang frowned, seemingly quite worried about him.

While he appeared outwardly so, he was secretly pondering Ao Miaoyin's innate ailment.

He had previously used the Angry Mushroom in an attempt to cure Ao Miaoyin.

However, the anger did not alleviate the symptoms at all.

Logically speaking, the Angry Mushroom, as a second-generation mushroom, should be more than capable of treating so-called stubborn diseases, but the result is unsatisfactory.

From this, we can deduce that Ao Miaoyin's congenital ailment is definitely not as simple as she claims.

Could it be related to the so-called Dragon Transformation Technique?
Wu Liang seemed to be deep in thought, and somehow his mind wandered to this topic.

Ao Miaoyin was physically weak from a young age, which coincided with the time when she was transformed into a dragon by the Silver Dragon King.

Who knows, there might be some connection between the two...

Just as Wu Liang was lost in thought and pondering this matter.

Ao Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief; the sickly look on her face finally lessened.

Perhaps she didn't want Young Master Wu to worry too much about her.

She immediately took the initiative to start a conversation, cleverly changing the subject.

"Young Master Wu..."

"Are you really confident you can refine that fourth-level mushroom?"

"As far as Miaoyin knows, four-stage mushrooms are not so easy to refine."

"Don't try to be brave. Uncle Ao Li never jokes."

"If you can't refine it, he really will kill you."

Ao Miaoyin looked serious, and even lowered her voice because she was worried that others might overhear.

She spoke very softly, "If Young Master Wu is not confident, Miaoyin can ask her father to have someone refine it for her."

"At that time, as long as Young Master Wu insists that he refined the fourth-level mushroom, Uncle Ao Li should be unable to say anything."

Seeing that Ao Miaoyin was still thinking of him even in this state, Wu Liang couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

"Don't worry, Miss Miaoyin."

"I never do anything I'm not sure I can do."

"It's just a level 4 mushroom. Although it is indeed a bit troublesome, I'm not sure I can't refine it."

Wu Liang feigned ease and spoke with confidence.

He knew perfectly well that the Golden Dragon King had specifically asked him to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom in order to test his character.

If he really did as Ao Miaoyin said and went to ask the Silver Dragon King for help, it would be an admission that he had no good heart and could not refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom.

That's why he had to refine this righteous mushroom himself.

Wu Liang's confident demeanor, coupled with his handsome face, is quite striking.

Ao Miaoyin couldn't help but take a second look.

However, she quickly looked away to avoid giving anyone cause for gossip or misunderstanding.

“Since Young Master Wu is confident, then Miaoyin is at ease.” “This time it was Miaoyin’s fault. I failed to discipline Huang’er properly, which caused trouble for Young Master Wu.”

"If Young Master Wu needs anything, please feel free to ask Miaoyin."

"Miaoyin will definitely give Young Master Wu a satisfactory compensation."

With an apologetic expression, Ao Miaoyin spoke earnestly.

In her view, the reason why this incident has escalated so much is entirely due to her lax discipline, which led to the trouble.

If Huang'er hadn't provoked Prince Ao Tang, Young Master Wu wouldn't have fought with him, thus attracting the Golden Dragon King.

Ultimately, it was all her fault...

Because of this thought, Ao Miaoyin has felt guilty from the beginning until now.

Fortunately, Wu Liang did not lose his life as a result.

Otherwise, given Ao Miaoyin's personality, she would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Miss Miaoyin, please don't mention this again."

Wu Liang shook his head and directly rejected the compensation that Ao Miaoyin offered.

He spoke solemnly and earnestly, saying, "You and I are friends. There's no need for so much nonsense between friends."

"If Miss Miaoyin truly considers me a friend, then there's no need to talk about compensation or anything like that."

“I never took this matter to heart at all.”

"Moreover, this is not Miss Miaoyin's fault. It is only because of my human identity that the prejudice against me by dragon people like Huang'er is too deep, which is why this happened."

Wu Liang's words moved Ao Miaoyin deeply.

'Friends...'

Ao Miaoyin was deeply moved and remained silent for a long time.

At that moment, Wu Liang suddenly changed the subject.

With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Of course, if Miss Miaoyin really feels bad, I don't mind shamelessly asking Miss Miaoyin for a favor."

"I happen to have a small favor to ask of you, Miss Miaoyin. I wonder if you would be willing to grant my request?"

As soon as this statement came out...

Ao Miaoyin, who was still in a daze, immediately came to her senses.

Her deep blue vertical pupils blinked slightly, as if she was quite curious about the unreasonable request Wu Liang had made.

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang curled his lips and said, "Since entering the Dragon Palace, I have spent my time either resting in my dormitory or refining mushrooms in the mushroom room. It's been quite monotonous and boring."

"If it's alright, Miss Miaoyin, would you be so kind as to show me around this Dragon Palace and help me pass the time?"

"Of course, if it's inconvenient, then I won't mention it."

Take a walk...

Upon hearing this, Ao Miaoyin inexplicably thought of the dragon princes and princesses in the Dragon Palace who were always inseparable, who liked to travel around alone with their partners.

For a moment, her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she had misunderstood something.

Ao Miaoyin wanted to agree, but then she thought of something else.

She furrowed her brows slightly, and hesitated before speaking softly, "It's possible, but..."

"Miaoyin is really weak right now and needs to see her father for some rest and recuperation."

"Moreover, since such a big thing has happened, Miaoyin also needs to tell her father about it."

"I'm afraid it won't be convenient for the next few days. How about we wait until Miaoyin has recovered before taking Young Master Wu to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Dragon Palace?"

When Wu Liang heard that Ao Miaoyin was going to see the Silver Dragon King, he waved his hand dismissively and took over the conversation with a smile.

"Isn't this just right?"

"I can accompany Miss Miaoyin to meet Senior Silver Dragon King."

"Since entering the palace, Senior Silver Dragon King has taken good care of me."

"Now it's a good time to go with Miss Miaoyin to pay our respects to the old man."

"Moreover, Miss Miaoyin's illness has not yet been cured, and it would be inappropriate if she were alone with someone."

"If I were to accidentally fall and injure myself on the way, or damage my pretty face, Senior Silver Dragon King, and even I, would be heartbroken..."
