Dragon God, immortal

"Eh? So, how is the tribe doing?"

"I heard that everything is fine now under the guidance of the witch."

"My fellow tribesmen, are you also eating oats? How pitiful! My children may be hungry too..." This was said by an older watcher.

Jinju listened silently. Although she was also worried about her people, she had no children, so it was difficult for her to empathize with them...

Speaking of which, Jinju suddenly remembered that he was already thirty-six years old. When Grandma Sanhua was this age, Juanhua was already born...

Shaking her head, she put down the quartz bowl after eating and drinking, and then reached to the side.

But she was startled when she didn't feel the familiar waist bag.

Missing?

how come!

The watchers are all acquaintances, and Lord Shushan is on the island, so no one dares to steal that thing...

"Big sister? What's wrong? Did you accidentally eat corn with rust disease?" The watcher on the side saw that Jinju looked panicked and her back was even wet with cold sweat, so he asked hurriedly.

"My bag... is gone..." Jinju took a deep breath and said, "It's the waist bag that contained the Dragon God Leaf and the Dragon Scale Comb..."

"Ah?! When did it disappear?!" The watchers stood up one after another. The equipment given by Lord Shushan had supreme power. If it was lost...

How are they going to face Shushan!

The consequences could be disastrous!

"Um, big sister, I wanted to ask you just now, is that little animal your pet?" The youngest watcher pointed behind Jinju and said, "Your waist bag is in its hand..."

"What little animal? What pet? Where is it?" Jinju seemed to have found a savior and hurriedly grabbed the young man's wrist.

"It's the one with an oval body, ears like dragon horns, and whiskers on its face like those of the cat-eared creatures. That one... eh? Can't you see it?" The young watcher said, pointing behind Kumquat.

Everyone looked in the direction that was pointed at. Perhaps because it was a little shy being stared at, the strange creature lightly jumped to reveal its original form, then raised Jinju's waist bag high above its head, and then jumped to an unknown place...

. . . . . .

“Uh, a furry little animal that looks like both a dragon and a cat?” Shushan listened to the reports from the watchers and fell into deep thought… The humus black soil on the Shougenqiu Island is more than that on the Zhangqiu Island. Could it be that something was born there too…

Chapter 20: My Neighbor Totoro, and Maltose! I love eating maltose so much!!

I have lived in Tegenkyu Island for so long.

Shushan knows the island well.

This entire island was fished out by him from the bottom of the sea. Every inch of land was measured and carefully carved out by him. He was very sure that there were absolutely no indigenous people on the island.

There is definitely no furry creature with dragon horn-like ears, a cat-like face with whiskers, a wide mouth and two rows of big white teeth as the watchers described!

"Are you... sure you didn't see it wrong?" Shushan asked again.

"You're right! I've been paying attention to it since before dinner! But for some reason, other people can't see it..." said the young cat-eared creature, scratching his head.

However, all the watchers witnessed the last scene of the little animal jumping and taking off.

Just an amazing little guy.

It doesn't look malicious.

Ah, no, it stole the big sister's waist bag, so it must be a bad guy, right?

"What about Kumquat? Where is she now?" Shushan was very interested in this matter, but also a little worried.

"Uh, the big sister wants to 'take the blame'..." The young cat-eared tribe member tilted his head and blurted out a word he had learned a few days ago.

"Forget about the hassle of carrying a thorny branch. Let her come over..." Shushan sighed. Why does Jin have so many worries recently? Is it true that one will have more worries as he grows older?

After waiting for a while.

Shushan saw Kumquat.

I also saw the small animal following Kumquat... When Shushan saw that thing, he shrank his neck and a term emerged in his mind - Totoro!

"I'm sorry, Lord Shushan, I couldn't find the thief who stole the things..." Jinju said dejectedly, with his ears and tail drooping down.

"Well... Kumquat, do you know anything about fairies?" Shushan stared at the little chinchilla for a while. The little thing hid behind Kumquat and poked its head out, staring at Shushan unwillingly.

"Fairies? As for elves, I know that there are high-level elves living in the human cities of the East Continent." Jinju didn't know why Shushan said this, but responded obediently.

"Elves and fairies are not related by blood. Elves are species derived from humans, while fairies are mostly naturally born individuals... just like the little guy behind you, you really can't see it?" Shushan said with a bit of amusement. The waist bag you have been looking for is on the little thing's head.

“Eh? Eh! Has it been following me? Hurry up and give my things back to me!” Jinju’s tail immediately stood up when he heard that, and he turned around and shouted at the air behind him…

But after she turned around, the chinchilla was still hanging behind her, with its back to the tree mountain just like her...

The Totoro was still unwilling to give in, and stared at Shushan with a backwards posture as if to say "Let's have barbecue tomorrow"...

It was like they were playing a game where whoever looked away first lost.

It looks like it is very happy when it smiles.

"Is it really Totoro?" Shushan opened his mouth and exhaled gently, blowing out a breath of magic, which disrupted the Totoro's invisibility magic and revealed its true form.

"Ah! Bad guy! I found you!" Jinju felt a breeze blowing, and then saw a half-human-tall Totoro next to him, and immediately pounced on it.

Uh, I missed.

That little guy is so flexible.

The little chinchilla jumps left and right, and it looks like he's teasing a cat. You're a cat, but you're teasing a cat! Wait, isn't it... a chinchilla a cat?

"The way fairies think is very different from most creatures, so some of their behaviors seem like pranks to ordinary people." Shushan's inherited memory contains an introduction to the fairy race, but he doesn't understand why the fairy in front of him has the appearance of a chinchilla?

Is it because there are dragons and cats around? Or is it because the thoughts of Shushan that extend outward when he is in a daze? By the way, the Totoro is so cute.

Shushan thought so and stretched out a fingernail to point it in front of him. The little chinchilla was immediately fixed in the air and could not land even if it waved its hands and feet.

"Hello, fairy, where are you from? What are you doing here?" Shushan said in a friendly manner.

The chinchilla waved its front legs, gestured left and right, and muttered as if it was saying something.

"Oh, is that so..." Shushan nodded.

Then the chinchilla made some gestures, "Awoo, awoo, awoo."

Shushan: “Hmm, I see…”

My Neighbor Totoro: *gestures* gestures*

Shushan: "Even if you say so, I can't do anything about it."

My Neighbor Totoro: *waves* stomps*

Shushan: "Eh...Is that so? Okay, okay...I understand. I will pay attention."

At this point, the Totoro put his hands on his hips, showed his two rows of big white teeth and smiled, as if he had won the game... If he hadn't been locked in mid-air by Shushan, he would probably have been even more proud.

"But give the comb and waist bag back to her. These things should be okay, right?" Shushan put down his paw, and the Totoro also slowly descended to the ground.

After standing there and thinking for a while, Totoro took out a Dragon God Leaf that was bigger than his body from his small waist bag, then threw the waist bag and the things inside into Kumquat's hand.

The chinchilla holds the leaf as if it were holding an umbrella.

Holding the leaf petiole, it spins on the spot.

It was such a joy to play.

"Lord Shushan, what on earth is this..." Jinju confirmed that nothing was lost and the dragon scale comb was still in the bag. He looked at the chinchilla in front of him with a puzzled look.

"This is a fairy that guards the forest and the spirit world. It usually appears in the form of a small animal. It said it came from far away and came all the way to remind me to sort the garbage..." Shushan touched the leaves on the dragon's horn and said, "High-risk items should be properly handled before being discarded... But I'm not discarding it! I'm just lending it to others! And my leaves are recyclable garbage, aren't they!"

Hearing this, Totoro jumped up with the leaf in his hand, landed on Shushan's head, and thrust the leaf back into his head...

Well, it's like putting away the fallen hair...

Replant it like that...

"Hey, can't this thing even be lent to others? The same can't be said of dragon scales?" Shushan stared at the chinchilla on the tip of his nose with cross-eyed eyes, and tentatively understood what the other party meant.

In response, the chinchilla nodded to indicate that there was nothing wrong with the dragon scales.

Dragon scales are just rare materials that are rich in magical power.

But the organic matter grown on the tree, especially the plants, cannot be thrown away randomly. Even if it is to be used, it must be treated harmlessly...

The harmlessness here refers to clearing away the divine power that belongs to the Earth Dragon God. Otherwise, the accumulated magical power will have a great impact on other things...

For example, the rust fungus was because Shushan directly used the intestinal moss grown on his back to kill pests, but the high-level power contained in it was not consumed. In addition, the black soil was also a product of divine power, which led to the rust fungus absorbing and mutating in this way.

Well, the rust fungus almost destroyed half of the world, so the Totoro fairy showed up.

By the way, the status of this Totoro fairy is only slightly lower than Shushan...

In other words, the existence second only to God?

I don't know where this big guy came from.

Looking at the jumping Totoro, Shushan did not have any thoughts of contempt. Although he was of a high status, he was still young - a 35-year-old baby - and he had to remain humble in front of his elders.

Yes, old man, this chinchilla may also have the responsibility to maintain balance, and its relationship with Shushan is like that of a colleague.

The chinchilla stopped playing, and when he saw that Shushan had handled the situation properly and understood the reason, he jumped up and disappeared without a trace.

Shushan felt a power similar to the Vanishing Grass in the ripples of Totoro's disappearance. It must be some kind of transfer magic, right? That's great. If I know this kind of magic, I can go wherever I want, just like Mondo.

"Finally they left..." Shushan breathed a sigh of relief. The Totoro fairy's fighting power was not higher than his, but Shushan was worried about whether he could be a good god, and was a little nervous.

Returning his attention to the present, the few watchers had not left yet, and they had also seen the magical fairy just now, but they were only amazed for a while and didn't take it seriously. After all, they were all working under the Dragon God, so they couldn't make a fuss...

Shushan shook his head slightly, and the leaves on the dragon horn made a rustling sound. The leaf that was just connected also blended into the countless echoes.

"That's it. I'll take that leaf back." Shushan said to Jinju. He had given this thing to Jinju as a tool. He had originally thought it would be fine to let her hold it...but now it seemed like there was a big problem.

"Please don't mind it. I can't control the power of that leaf, so it's better to return it to Lord Shushan." Kumquat didn't understand the communication between Totoro and Shushan, but she understood how Totoro returned the leaf.

The cornfield has now been cleared.

She didn't need to keep that magic either.

Moreover, the magic that can perform real "creation" is really not something that mortals can control. Jin Ju was trembling with fear when using it, but now that it has been recovered, he feels relieved...

Just like that, a theft was successfully completed without any danger. The culprit was a mischievous fairy, and the fairy did this with good intentions to remind...

Several watchers took their leave, and the young watcher breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Great, we got everything back, big sister."

"Well, they are all back." Jinjue pressed the waist bag and felt the weight of the comb inside, feeling relieved.

"By the way, that one wasn't the big sister's pet, so is this one?"

The young watcher pointed above Kumquat's head.

Jinju raised his head slightly, but couldn't see anything.

She frowned in confusion. How could others see something that she couldn't?

"What pet? I don't have anything?" Jinju was full of question marks. She felt that this young watcher had some kind of talent. She could always see things that others couldn't see!

"Uh, it looks a lot like the little animal that stole your waist bag, but its color is the same as your fur, golden yellow..." The young watcher stood on tiptoe and looked at the chinchilla on the golden orange head...

Kumquat touched the top of his head, but didn't touch the Totoro.

The chinchilla lifted one foot and dodged for a moment.

She only felt her own short, furry hair.

The orange Totoro lay back, fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace, leaving the young watcher amazed... and with that, a new resident was born on Tegenkyu Island.

. . . . . .

winter solstice.

Dinner time.

This was the shabbiest winter solstice dinner in the history of the Dragon God. The number of cat people present was not even as many as the day when Shushan first met the cat-eared tribe. Many of them must have been recuperating from illness and injuries and were unable to attend the dinner.

Well...it's possible that it's because oatmeal tastes so bad...

This is not surprising. The taste of this oatmeal is indeed a bit ridiculous, especially for cat-ear people who are used to eating corn...

Shushan shook his tail helplessly and piled the dying bonfire a little higher. Today's atmosphere was really too much to eat - well, today's atmosphere was caused by the inability to eat.

"No, this is such a good crop, except that it's a little difficult to shell, and even if you shell it, the taste is a little rough, and the aftertaste is a little bitter. Uh... aren't these all bad points..." Shushan thought about it, and finally sighed.

To be honest, if this oatmeal is used to feed cattle and sheep, they will never touch it if they have grass to eat.
