Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2732 - 2733: Seeking Bai Dragon Once Again

On the third day, Feng Cheng finally led the Giant Turtle to the Harmony Ship. Sibao went out to inform Shanhu and Qiu Zhi, telling them not to hide anymore.

Wenyu took the opportunity to bring Bai Ruozhu out, while Ling Chen brought Fo Lanying. Without the elders opening the Barrier, the protector could only barely bring one person in and out.

Upon seeing Yuan Licheng, Fo Lanying almost cried and rushed up to hug him.

Ling Chen looked on with some curiosity. She admired Fo Lanying’s strength, but seeing the man in front of her with a Divine Sense not so strong, she found he wasn’t even as capable as Bai Ruozhu.

Later, Ling Chen found an opportunity to ask Fo Lanying about it. Fo Lanying laughed and said, "Two people alike would be boring; this is called complementing each other. My Xiaoyuan is especially skilled in Array techniques."

Bai Ruozhu issued orders to the two ships to start returning and heading towards White Dragon’s location.

After finishing her tasks, she went to find Feng Cheng. Feng Cheng said he was worried about the Giant Turtle running amok and couldn’t rest; he had to keep leading it, so she hadn’t seen Feng Cheng for three days.

Wenyu was a bit worried and took her to search around. Eventually, they found Feng Cheng in the sea, not knowing what method he used, the surrounding seawater didn’t touch him, and his clothes and shoes were dry.

"Take a rest; you don’t look well." Bai Ruozhu felt a bit more at ease seeing him clean.

"Did you forget who I am? This kind of thing is nothing. Hurry back to the Island; we shouldn’t waste time. If the Giant Turtle runs amok, I can’t pull it back." Feng Cheng said with a smile.

Bai Ruozhu grabbed his arm, pulling up his sleeve to check, but Feng Cheng held her hand down, "Hey, this counts as indecent, you’d need to be responsible for it."

Wenyu twitched the corners of his mouth, truly surprised at Feng Cheng’s thick-skinned demeanor.

"I’m not in the mood for jokes. Let go and let me see." The more he acted like this, the less at ease Bai Ruozhu felt.

Feng Cheng sighed and eventually let go of her hand. His sleeve rolled up, revealing a wound, not too deep, and it seemed to be healing.

"Am I an ordinary person? Wounds heal quickly; don’t worry unnecessarily." Feng Cheng said with a smile.

Bai Ruozhu relaxed again, "Don’t push yourself too hard. You’ve already helped me a lot, and I don’t want anything to happen to you."

"How long have I lived? Can anything happen easily? Don’t worry. Hurry back; if delayed, the Giant Turtle will run amok again." Feng Cheng stated.

Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to say farewell to him, following Wenyu back to the Merfolk Island.

Just as they left, Feng Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood. His arm didn’t get any more wounds because just coughing up blood was enough to attract the Giant Turtle.

Ling Chen also took Fo Lanying back to the Island. Feng Cheng continued leading the Turtle forward, and because the Giant Turtle was extremely fast, it reached the sea area where the Gold Palace was located in less than a day.

This time, Wenyu and Ling Chen brought Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun out of the Island. Following their memory, they found the Undersea Vortex and entered the Gold Palace together.

"This place..." Ling Chen was tearful. "I can feel the Merfolk’s presence; this is where the ancestors once lived."

Wenyu was also somewhat emotional, tightly gripping his sleeve.

"You’re back?" White Dragon’s voice suddenly echoed, causing everyone’s ears to ache, "Why did you bring Merfolk here?"

It was clearly angry, emitting deafening roars.

"Don’t get excited!" Bai Ruozhu hurriedly explained, "Not all Merfolk are insidious and cunning. They have been helping us and are willing to return the Dragon Ball."

"Where is the Dragon Ball?" White Dragon was unwilling to trust the Merfolk, snorting sarcastically, focusing all its attention on the Dragon Ball.

Bai Ruozhu pointed upwards, "Can you feel the presence of a giant Xuan Gui outside? The Merfolk once placed your Dragon Ball inside its stomach and made their home on its back. We can’t retrieve the Dragon Ball, so we’ve tried everything possible to bring the Xuan Gui here. You should be able to retrieve the Dragon Ball, right?"

"What?" White Dragon became even more agitated, "Why put my Dragon Ball inside a turtle? This is simply insulting!"

"Can’t you feel the Dragon Ball?" Jiang Yichun grasped the key point.

White Dragon snorted twice, "Probably the Barrier is protecting it, and the Xuan Gui has assimilated it, likely wanting to claim it for itself."

"What now? The Xuan Gui might soon transform into a dragon." Bai Ruozhu said.

"Damn Merfolk, they caused this trouble. If the Xuan Gui transforms a dragon, it will devour them; it won’t be as soft-hearted as me!" White Dragon roared angrily.

Bai Ruozhu sighed, "If the Xuan Gui transforms a dragon, you might never retrieve your Dragon Ball again, right?"

White Dragon quieted down, appearing somewhat dejected, "Yes, it will become part of its body. Even if it’s killed, what’s retrieved wouldn’t be my Dragon Ball."

Wenyu and Ling Chen, seeing a dragon for the first time, were a bit anxious. But seeing the dejected White Dragon, they thought it was actually quite pitiable and didn’t feel as scared anymore.

"If we combine all our forces to break the Barrier, can you retrieve the Dragon Ball?" Ling Chen asked.

White Dragon thought for a moment, "I can try, but my strength is already very weak, and I don’t know how long I can last."

"Let’s try to break the Barrier first." Ling Chen said.

White Dragon spat out a drop of blood, "If you find a way to give this drop of my dragon blood to the Xuan Gui, the dragon blood entering its body will trigger a connection between the Dragon Ball and me. Remember, my blood essence is scarce; it must not be wasted."

"What if it refuses to eat it?" Wenyu asked.

"How is that possible? This is dragon essence blood; a greedy creature like Xuan Gui couldn’t possibly refuse it." White Dragon said.

Bai Ruozhu carefully collected the dragon blood, bid farewell to White Dragon, and returned to the sea surface.

She went to find Feng Cheng, handed the dragon blood to him, and told him White Dragon’s intent. Feng Cheng nodded, "Alright, leave it to me."

His eyes flashed slightly, gripping the dragon blood tightly.

Once Bai Ruozhu left, he stared at the dragon blood and fell into a daze.

"If you could find a drop of True Dragon Essence Blood, perhaps you could live a hundred years longer, and half the Curse would be lifted."

"Nowadays the Dragon Clan is extinct, where to find True Dragon Essence Blood?"

Feng Cheng came back to his senses, shaking off his distracting thoughts. Even if he wanted to live, he couldn’t betray Ruozhu’s trust.

He approached the Xuan Gui, hands trembling as he opened the bottle cap, giving the dragon blood to it.

The Xuan Gui excitedly sucked the dragon blood into its mouth, and because the suction was too strong, Feng Cheng was pulled to its mouth. Feng Cheng quickly put his Qi to work, dodging out of the way, managing to resist the suction and prevent himself from being swallowed by the Xuan Gui.

The Xuan Gui seemed somewhat disappointed, angrily letting out a cry. Feng Cheng’s body was damaged, coughing up another mouthful of blood. The Xuan Gui happily sucked in the blood-tainted seawater, calming down.

Meanwhile, Bai Ruozhu and the others returned to the Island. Wenyu gathered all the Merfolk together to mobilize everyone to break the Barrier.

Unexpectedly, many people were afraid and hesitant to express their stance. Finally, someone asked, "Won’t breaking the Barrier lead the Giant Turtle to eat us?"
