Chapter 1274: Chapter 1270: The Innocent Dragon Spirit
The Dragon Spirit’s perception far surpasses that of humans, and Chi Yao only harbored a slight suspicion, causing a momentary emotional fluctuation.
Not to mention that he already found Chi Yao a bit unpleasant, especially with this guy sitting so casually beside Yun Ran, as if they were the ones who were truly in cahoots!
The Dragon Spirit’s biting gaze shot directly over: "What are you looking at!"
The tone was fierce, as if the next second, Chi Yao would get a quick slap in the face.
Chi Yao now truly felt the thick malice emanating from the Dragon Spirit, and with narrowed eyes, no one knew what he was thinking, planning.
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching shout came from downstairs, as if trying to suppress all other sounds!
"Twenty Magic Artifacts, plus five portions of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!!!"
This voice also influenced those on the second floor, and the subtle atmosphere lingering between the Dragon Spirit and Chi Yao instantly dissipated.
Both of their gazes turned sharply towards downstairs.
Only then did the Dragon Spirit realize that the place he had ripped open was actually at an auction.
"Whoa, what’s being traded with Magic Artifacts and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures! Are these people stupid!"
The Dragon Spirit expected at least Yun Ran to agree with him after he expressed his opinion, because he had never seen a more stingy rich person than Yun Ran.
However, after several seconds passed without any response, the Dragon Spirit curiously looked at Yun Ran.
Just in time to face Yun Ran’s somewhat awkward and speechless expression.
Chi Yao didn’t know what he was thinking either and suddenly laughed, indicating with a hint that the Dragon Spirit should take a look at the lantern on the window ledge.
Dragon Spirit: ...
Oh no, the comment he just made wasn’t directly hitting Yun Ran where it hurt.
Don’t ask why he’s so sure; this heavenly lantern must have been related to Yun Ran.
Ask because no one understands Yun Ran better than he does; even though Yun Ran is stingy, when it comes to making major decisions and flaunting, no one can beat Yun Ran.
The words spoken were obviously irrevocable, and the Dragon Spirit’s eyes rolled as he quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"It’s only you, Yun Ran. If it were me, I would have clawed these people long ago, nowhere leaving them the chance to bother you!"
After speaking, the Dragon Spirit deliberately raised his paw to show that he was serious!
Feeling the atmosphere improve, the Dragon Spirit continued: "What item makes so many people fight over it, let me see."
After speaking, the Dragon Spirit strode towards the window, feeling that the Little Tower Spirit was a bit in the way, directly reached out and moved him aside.
Throughout the process, the Little Tower Spirit didn’t move a muscle, nor did he dare express any discontent.
The events today were enough to reshape the worldview of the Little Tower Spirit.
Since he acquired spiritual wisdom, he had always been the one flexing his muscles, bullying others, even standing arrogantly above others.
If it weren’t for the array suppressing him, it’s likely the Little Tower Spirit would have long dashed out to wreak havoc.
Back then, he had always felt he could crush everyone, even seen as the guardian of the Divine Sword Manor.
But after today, he finally understood his true place; the world outside is truly too dangerous.
He always felt that any random person could put his little life in peril.
Forget it, forget it; in the future, he should stay obediently in the small building, no longer thinking of going out to join the hype.
No one knew, but just this interlude had already completed the Little Tower Spirit’s self-reformation and positioning.
The Dragon Spirit slightly poked his head out to take a look, and naturally, he immediately saw the not-so-large cauldron placed on the stage.
"Whoa, this cauldron, why does it look so similar to the one we brought back before, but this one’s a mini version."
When the Dragon Spirit said this, he didn’t bother to conceal anything despite Chi Yao, an outsider, being present.
Ultimately, it was his subconscious trust in Yun Ran; this somewhat annoying guy might be trustworthy enough, otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten close to Yun Ran.
Dragon Spirit soon realized that Yun Ran probably recognized this cauldron, resembling the one in the Divine Hall, which is why he wouldn’t hesitate to light the lantern to win the bid.
Now, he didn’t feel it was a waste anymore.
With a few brisk steps, he returned to sit at an empty spot not far from the window, reaching out to start digging into his own reserves.
While digging, he muttered: "Since we’re lighting the lantern, we should give these people a small shock. We’ll smash them with Magic Artifacts, making them think of you only as rivaling the riches of a nation!"
The Dragon Spirit had led the Special Administration Bureau people, smoothly completing the task from Death Mountain, gaining countless benefits even Yun Ran didn’t know about.
Unexpectedly now, to save face for Yun Ran, he didn’t hesitate to bring it out.
Since the Dragon Spirit appeared, Chi Yao had rarely spoken, and those scrutinizing gazes.
In the Dragon Spirit’s incessant words and actions of pulling things out, he finally realized this guy, too, was also swayed by Yun Ran.
Just like he was in the beginning, willingly let Yun Ran pull out quite a bit of his reserves too.
A feeling of shared sympathy suddenly welled up, and Chi Yao looked at the Dragon Spirit with a hint of unrecognized intimacy.
"These should be enough."
The Dragon Spirit filled a nearby tea table before he stopped his actions of digging further.
His face was all inviting praise, waiting for Yun Ran to be grateful to him.
Yun Ran, however, pointed at one of the Magic Artifacts and said in a mellow tone: "This thing, I remember, was initially brought by He Tu as compensation, I didn’t take it, told him to take it back, now can you tell me why it’s in your hands?"
The Dragon Spirit’s expression instantly froze on his face.
Oh no, in the rush he pulled it out without remembering Yun Ran had seen this before!
The Dragon Spirit wanted to shrug it off, but obviously, if Yun Ran cared to settle the matter, and he tried to make something up, Yun Ran was indeed capable of slashing him with a knife.
Faced with whether he or someone else would be in trouble, the Dragon Spirit decisively chose the latter.
He immediately blurted out: "This was all Xuan Chu’s doing. Back then, he was responsible for protecting you, suspected He Tu had ulterior motives, so he kept everything He Tu sent to see if there was anything fishy.
I didn’t know at first, later confirmed He Tu’s stuff was fine, just temporarily stored them here, waiting for the next chance I met He Tu to return them to him."
It’s commendable that the Dragon Spirit could come up with such an excuse in such a short time, even dragging Xuan Chu down, making himself appear exceptionally innocent and blameless.
