Dragon God, immortal

And all this is the grace of Lord Dragon God.

Everyone in the tribe is thanking Lord Dragon God.

After the bonfire was lit, evening arrived as promised. Hei Song stood by the coast and could see the giant dragon from afar, but he was still looking hard, trying to find the curled-eared calico...

. . . . . .

"Ah, that's the taste! The refined food that can only be eaten once a year!" Shushan ate a corn tortilla in one bite. He could finish the cat-ear tribe's half-year harvest in about two meals.

After all, his staple food is whole silage corn, refined grains and the like... he can only eat them once in a while...

After eating and drinking, Shushan stood in front of the open space and cleared his throat, attracting the attention of all the cat-eared people.

"The contract of the first batch of Watchers has expired. Thank you for your hard work... Amumu, Akagi, and Bai Lan, step out!" Shushan took out a few finely polished scales from the weeds on his shoulder.

The three cat-eared people looked at each other, standing in front of the tree mountain, at a loss as to what to do.

Then, three half-body-sized dragon-scale shields floated in front of them.

"This is a gift for retired watchmen. I hope you can still remember your mission and watch over the fields and the people in the future!" Shushan said, and the three cat-eared people were filled with ecstasy! You know, this is a dragon scale! Dragon scale!

Shushan hesitated for a moment and continued, "Juanhua, step out!"

Juan Hua shook his ears and felt a little excited.

She has long wanted to study dragon scales!

But Lord Dragon God never loses his scales!

A small comb floated in front of her, the crystal clear jade comb emitting flowing light.

"Your job is slightly different from other watchers. Over the past few years, you have helped me sort out many experiments... So I give this comb to you, and I hope you can comb out the entire tribe in the future." Shushan said.

Chapter 14: Entering the woods?!

Others may not be able to see it.

But Shushan knew that being a watcher was a high-risk job.

On Tegenkyu Island, his nearly two hundred acres of land were his "private dragon property" and were filled with his dragon power.

But even so, those harmful birds and animals still dared to invade! Most of those harmful birds were large in size or possessed magical powers! Only then did they dare to challenge Shushan's coercion!

How weak can a creature that dares to snatch food from a dragon's mouth be? Therefore, the work of the watchers is in danger, and Shushan is considering distributing equipment to them...

"As a symbol of completion of training, the Dragon Scale Shield cannot be distributed in large quantities... But it is still okay to give one to every Watcher who has worked for five years..." Shushan thought as he lay beside the old nest.

At the campfire below, the three watchers who had obtained the dragon scale shield were surrounded by the crowd.

All kinds of praise are beyond words.

Well, not praising the Dragon Scale Shield.

Most people praised the Watchers who obtained the Dragon Scale Shield... because they were the first batch of Watchers. If they did not renew their contract and return to Tegenqiu Island, they would stay on Palmqiu Island and continue to watch over their people with force and wisdom...

So their social class suddenly rose, and they immediately gained more favor...

Oh, it is easy to understand if you regard the Watchers as "returnees" who studied abroad.

Thinking this way, Shushan suddenly realized that Juanhua was not among the people being sought after? Well, this was a bit strange. After all, Juanhua was the young patriarch and the "witch" who communicated with the dragon god. She should be surrounded by people when she got the comb, right?

Shushan pondered for a moment, searching for the magic power on his scales, and then saw not far away...

There was a calico cat with curled ears...

A brown and black cat with round ears...

Ran into the woods...

No! Wait a minute! What do you want to do? Are you in such a hurry?! Do you want to peek a little?

. . . . . .

"Hehehe, little Heisong, come with me, I'll show you some treasures!" Juanhua pulled Heisong and smiled proudly.

"No, Sister Juanhua! I, I'm still young, please let me go!" Heisong was half-pushed and half-dragged into the grove.

He did fantasize about being overwhelmed by Juan Hua, but, but that was just a fantasy! And, and he was only thirteen years old! !

If Sister Juan Hua uses force, will he obey, or will he obey, or will he be a coward...

If she has a child in the future, will she live in the big house or on Tegenkuma Island...

What should I name my child? Oh, I should wait until the baby is born. It’s too early to think about it now.

"Hey, wake up, what are you daydreaming about? Let me show you this!" Juanhua patted Heisong's cheek, then took off his belt.

“Ahhh——” Hei Song covered his eyes with his hands, but secretly peeked through his fingers, watching Juan Hua’s movements, and then... Juan Hua just took off his belt.

On the belt of the cat-ear tribe.

I can tie up some daily necessities.

Or you can tie a small leather bag as a waist bag and put some sundries for work in it.

Juanhua's waist bag was filled with many crystal bottles, which contained magic potion extracts of various colors. These were her important research results.

Juan Hua raised the corner of his mouth, proudly took out a crystal bottle and tossed it, and said with a proud smile: "Brother Hei Song, do you want to see my magic?"

"Sister Juanhua, don't you say we can't use magic?" Heisong blurted out this sentence subconsciously. He suddenly realized that he had stepped on a landmine again... Last time, the time before, and the time before, it was all because of this that made Juanhua go crazy!

"That's right. You can't perform magic without magic power, just like a person without strength can't lift his arms. This is normal." Juan Hua raised one corner of his mouth... The five-year period has arrived, and it's time to let the arrogant little boy feel the power of the dragon witch!

She opened the lid of the crystal bottle and used a branch to dribble out a little bit of the icy blue waxy liquid inside...

Just a little bit, she blew at the little bit of ice blue on the branch, and the cold winter wind fell on the black pine face...

This is an extract of [Ice Crown Flower].

If used in large enough amounts, it can even freeze seawater!

Hei Song was so frightened that he was stunned, but Juan Hua didn't stop moving...

He used the oil of the [Flame Flower] to start a fire, the extract of the [Storm Vine] to fly with the wind, the juice of the [Blinding Grass] to illuminate, and even used the [Vanishing Grass] to distort space and move a rock not far away...

"How is it? My magic!" Juanhua put one hand on her chest, raised her head high, and the corners of her mouth rose involuntarily... Heisong's expression was the best compliment to her!

"Wow, so amazing! How did you do that!" Hei Song was completely attracted by Juan Hua's 'magic'. The magic he knew was just to control things to float and fall, but what Juan Hua did was even more gorgeous!

"This is all the kindness of Lord Shushan. The magic potion he gave me can be used even without magic power! Hehehe~ I'm better than you!" Juanhua covered his mouth and laughed. He finally got his revenge from five years ago!

I told you to keep showing off your magic!

Little do we know that wisdom is also a kind of magic!

Extracting the useful ingredients from these potions is not an easy task.

Even with the instruction of Shushan, who inherited the knowledge, it took Juanhua more than a month to master the operations of distillation, extraction, crystallization, filtration, etc., and he finally extracted the potion bottles in his hand before the winter solstice.

Why? Just to show off in front of Black Pine! Although Black Pine doesn't remember much about what happened five years ago, the grudge against the curly birch still remembers it to this day!

Juan Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Now I finally feel comfortable.

"…Just to show me these…" Heisong came back to his senses and sighed in disappointment. He thought he was going to be do that to me, but he was still so excited about it.

"Huh? What do you mean 'just for these'? Don't you understand yet? Lord Shushan has allowed me to use these favors, and also allowed me to teach these favors to others! In other words, from now on even ordinary cat people can use this magical power!" Juanhua stretched out his claws and touched Heimong's nose, making the latter's whiskers move with itch.

"Even if you say so, what can we do with such a small amount of power... If it's just to produce things like salt and cotton thread, wouldn't it be enough to rely on the watchers..." Hei Song felt a little itchy in his heart and retorted subconsciously.

"Idiot!" Juan Hua was slightly angry when he heard that, and slapped Hei Song's stupid head with the pads on his claws. "Idiot, idiot, idiot! Using wisdom to transform knowledge into practical things is my job! I will make these things serve the people!"

Juanhua had heard some scenes that she longed for in Shushan's words...

The light tube that lights up when pressed can make the room as bright as day at night;

A stove that can light a fire with just a twist, no firewood or blowing, you can start cooking easily;

A box that can be refrigerated, as long as the food is placed in it, it will not go bad even if it is more than two months;

In addition, there are also carts that do not require livestock to pull them, iron birds that can carry people flying in the sky, and iron plates that can communicate with people on the other side of the planet...

The world imagined by Lord Shushan is so full of fantasy and so colorful. Juanhua has dreamed countless times that the cat-eared tribe can also live such a life.

In order to realize this dream, she is willing to stay by Master Shushan's side, absorb the knowledge he imparts, and use her wisdom to assist him and the entire tribe... This is Juanhua's long-cherished wish, but Cricket Heisong will never understand! Humph!

“Even if you say so, I still don’t understand the things I don’t understand…” Hei Song rubbed the place where he was slapped and said, “You are the smartest cat person in the tribe. Just do your best. It’s hard for a fool like me to understand you…”

"Hmph! No! You are the cat-man with the most powerful magic in the tribe! You must understand me!" Juan Hua stomped her feet in anger. She didn't dare to act childish in front of Shushan, but it was different in front of her own people. It was allowed for her to be a little bit unruly!

"Eh...what is that..." Heisong scratched his head in confusion.

"I need you!" Juan Hua said firmly!

"!" Heisong's head slammed.

Is this a proposal?

This is a proposal!

But he still has two years to go!

"Your magical potential is higher than Aunt Kumquat. I need your magic to help me with my research! Well, Lord Shushan has given me a five-year vacation! In order to live up to Lord Shushan's high hopes, I need you to help me completely analyze these potions!" Juanhua said, pressing Heisong's shoulders. This was her real purpose!

"Eh...ah...oh...okay, I have no objection..." Heisong's expression was confused, his brain hadn't reacted yet, and he answered blankly.

"Then there's no time to lose. I'll help you build a small house for research tomorrow!" Seeing that Heisong agreed, Juanhua excitedly shook Heisong's shoulders.

"Those things are okay...you, you won't do it?" Hei Song was shaken awake and said shyly.

"What are you doing?" Juan Hua tilted his head in confusion, and the fluff on his ears fluttered in the wind.

"An adult woman dragged a man into the forest and promised to build a small house for him. What else can she do..." Hei Song said shyly. He didn't object to Juan Hua's dominance. Rather, he liked stronger partners...

"!" Juan Hua's head slammed.

Only then did I realize how ridiculous what I had done was.

I guess it’s because she’s been separated from her people for too long, so she didn’t consider the customs of her people for a while. What she said just now…wasn’t it a proposal? !

No! I just want an assistant! Just like Master Shushan, he can't do delicate work by himself, so he asks an assistant to do it for him... I just want to borrow Hei Song's magic and power!

I, I, I, I didn't mean that! I'm a healthy, adult female cat person! If I were caught proposing to the young Hei Song, I would be locked in a cat cage and confined for reflection! !

"Well... I can do it..." Hei Song said this and loosened the straps on his shoulders...

"I wasn't! I didn't! That's not what I meant!!!" Birch's ears turned red, and he turned around and ran out of the forest, leaving Black Pine there at a loss.

So, don’t do it?

It has come to this point, why don’t you do it?

Are you still a cat lady?

Hei Song pouted inwardly, but he could do nothing but straighten his clothes and sigh...

. . . . . .

Shushan retracted his gaze...

Well, I saw a good show, it was really interesting...

Juan Hua was like a male graduate student obsessed with research. He could hardly resist the temptation of a young JK like Hei Song. Fortunately, Juan Hua was not wearing a handlebar and he managed to brake.

However, it is difficult for Shushan to tell the age of the cat-eared people, because the faces of the cat-eared people are very similar to those of cats. It is impossible to determine their age by wrinkles like humans, and they can only be determined by their body shape and hair...

"Ah, Juanhua, you're back. Where did you go just now?" Shushan asked knowingly as he looked at Juanhua who was combing herself with a dragon scale comb.

"Well, I went to chat with a friend. I was so excited that I got a little flustered. My hair is all messy." Juanhua said calmly, but his ears were still red. Fortunately, it was not obvious under the campfire.

The cat-ear tribe has a lot of hair on their bodies, and even women mostly have short hair, which can easily get tangled during activities, so the cat-ear tribe always carries a comb with them to groom their hair.

Juan Hua calmed down again.

Huanhuan reported his future plans to Shushan.

Well, first of all, it was about planting oats. Since this crop does not require high soil fertility, it can also have a high yield even if it is not planted in the fertile fields opened up on the mountain, so Juan Hua plans to let the tribe open up new fields...

However, apart from the fields and roads opened up by the tree mountain, there are ferocious beasts in the forest in other places. If you want to open fields in those places, you need the protection of the watchman...

It just so happens that the three graduating watchmen this year all plan to stay in the tribe and use the power bestowed by the Dragon God to protect the tribe and the fields. The idea of ​​opening up new fields is very feasible...

"...Mustard and beets also require additional land to grow, and the grass needed by cattle and sheep also needs to be cultivated in other fields, so I plan to cut down a certain amount of wood and turn the forest into a farm."

Juan Hua said slowly.
