Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1291: 1295: All Planned Where to Bury

Chapter 1291: Chapter 1295: All Planned Where to Bury

Zhu Minglang was overjoyed beyond expectation. Raindrop Island could genuinely be regarded as a land blessed by the divine, for the Gluttonous Monster, after devouring but a bite, saw its cultivation base actually soar to the level of a God General!

Young Dragons at the Starlight God General Level!

Indeed, this was the same ferocious Gluttonous Monster that caged all the Divine Chosen in the Fourth Layer of Heaven as its food!

If it were to reach its mature phase, wouldn’t it be capable of shaking even some of the weaker Moon Radiance Gods?

The Gluttonous Lunar Eclipse Dragon opened its maw once more, intending to continue feasting on the “pancake” at sea. Zhu Minglang, seeing this, hurriedly intervened to stop it.

“A single bite, just to tide it over, is enough. If it were to eat it all, how would I explain it to the people of the Southern Heavenly Palace?” Zhu Minglang said.

The Bipolar Beads of the Gluttonous Lunar Eclipse Dragon gently collided together, emitting a bashful sound.

“Quit acting cute; do you think I haven’t seen enough of your ferocious and diabolical appearances? If you can’t eat, then you can’t eat; you need to restrain yourself. Wait until I’m promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple, then we can devour an entire island. We should report this little pancake first as a declaration of our loyalty, so we won’t be suspected later on,” Zhu Minglang lectured the Little Glutton.

The Little Glutton was naturally an intelligent treasure, and upon hearing that it could eat an entire Raindrop Island like this one in the future, it immediately put on an obedient and docile expression. If not for the drool that ceaselessly flowed out, this look of the Little Glutton could still be considered quite endearing.

“It seems like there’s a piece missing here?” Inner Sect Disciple Bai Jue inquired.

“It might have been shattered by some gigantic spirit beast under the sea before it emerged,” another Inner Sect Female Disciple Qin Wu suggested.

“Did you two discover this Raindrop Island?” Bai Jue asked.

“Yes, we found it together,” Qiao Caiqing nodded in confirmation.

Zhu Minglang scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He had been completely ignorant about Raindrop Island previously; it was Qiao Caiqing who possessed keen intuition and judgment.

“We will inform the Deacon and seek commendation for you both.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Bai, thank you, Senior Sister Qin,” Qiao Caiqing said, her face brightening with a smile.

“You may leave now; leave the rest to us.”

“Alright.”

…

Having left Coral Garden Island, Zhu Minglang and Qiao Caiqing returned to the sect and first changed their clothes.

Zhu Minglang was about to go have breakfast with Qiao Caiqing. After all, they had been on duty for three days and nights, and there was not much delicacy on the garden island.

Just as they stepped out, they were greeted by Elder Hu, who quickly glanced over Qiao Caiqing then sternly said to Zhu Minglang, “Zhu Lang, there’s a disturbance at the eastern morning market; go handle it.”

“Ah? Elder Hu, we’ve just completed our guard duty, and Junior Brother Zhu Lang hasn’t even shut his eyes for days,” Qiao Caiqing said.

“As Outer Sect Disciples, you should contribute more to the Immortal Sect. What’s wrong with a bit of hardship? Go now,” Elder Hu’s tone grew firmer.

“Alright, I’ll be right back.”

“Then I’ll wait for you, Junior Brother.”

“Caiqing, come patrol with me at the Northern Bridge. Lately, some demonic cultivators have infiltrated Bi Luo Island, and we need to strengthen our vigilance,” Elder Hu continued.

“Oh… okay,” Qiao Caiqing nodded.

“Caiqing, can you take care of Little Jiuwei for me?” Zhu Minglang handed over the Little Jiuwei Dragon snug in his arms to Qiao Caiqing.

Qiao Caiqing nodded, as she was very fond of Zhu Minglang’s Little Jiuwei Dragon.

“Heh, how can a hearty man keep such a pet meant for display,” Elder Hu said disdainfully.

Zhu Minglang merely smiled and did not argue.

What Elder Hu didn’t know was that his recent actions aimed against Zhu Minglang had already led Zhu Minglang to consider exactly where to bury him…

As for asking Qiao Caiqing to help take care of his Little Jiuwei.

In fact, it was to have Little Jiuwei protect Qiao Caiqing.

Some Deacons, who know faces but not hearts, forced Qiao Caiqing to obey the orders from above, but Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but consider Qiao Caiqing’s personal safety.

…

As the God of Fuchen, capable of patrolling the heavens and inspecting gods, as well as dealing with the quarrels of street vendors over territory, which were no small matter, as the vendors were all Cultivators whose fights could cause serious disturbances.

After resolving the matter, Zhu Minglang then went back to sleep soundly.

Indeed, it had been days since he last closed his eyes to rest.

The next morning, the outer sect announced the attendance records of all Disciples over the past two months, and unsurprisingly, both Zhu Minglang and Qiao Caiqing were listed as Outer Sect Disciples with outstanding contributions.

However, when Zhu Minglang read the details, he furrowed his brows.

“After meticulous observation by the Inner Sect Disciples, Bai Jue and Qin Wu, the Rainy Island was first discovered, bringing a fortune to the Sect…”

Following that line in bold, there was another line in smaller print:

“Qiao Caiqing and Zhu Lang assisted with the record keeping and contributed…”

Having read it, Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but bitterly smile and shake his head.

Seeing this, Qiao Caiqing also lost the smile on her face.

It had been her who discovered it after staying awake three days and nights—how did it turn out that those two Inner Sect Disciples got the first credit??

This was bullying to the extreme!

“That’s too much! Just because they’re Inner Sect Disciples, they think they can take the credit for others’ hard work!” Qiao Caiqing’s roommate said indignantly.

“You can report it to the Deacons, the Elders.”

“If it’s Bai Jue, I think it’s better to let it go. His uncle is the Sect Supervisor. If you keep quiet, you still have this minor credit, a sip of the soup, but if you speak out, you might end up worse off,” Little Fatty Chen Yihui advised.

“Sigh, let’s just be content with being acknowledged for a minor contribution,” Qiao Caiqing sighed, feeling helpless to swallow the unfairness.

After all, they were just Outer Sect Disciples, insignificant to the Immortal Sect.

“Yes, let’s focus on preparing for next month’s Inner Gate competition. If we can squeeze into the Inner Gate, we won’t have to put up with this kind of treatment,” Little Fatty Chen Yihui said.

Zhu Minglang stared at the commendation list, falling into a deep contemplation.

If Elder Hu and Bai Jue are buried together, would it expose my identity as the murderer…?

Yes, yes, better to bury them separately.

…

When the outer sect seasonal competition approaches, it’s the time for Outer Sect Disciples to display their divine skills,

This display of divine skills doesn’t necessarily reflect their abilities, but rather it’s mainly about who has better backing.

The difference between a Dragon Shepherd and those intertwined with the divine is that a Dragon Shepherd’s Cultivation Base can be boosted with money!

Purchasing good Dragons, purchasing good resources—if one can enhance a Dragon’s cultivation significantly before the seasonal competition, they have a good chance of entering the ranks of the Inner Sect Disciples.

All Outer Sect Disciples are allowed to participate.

With a vast number of Outer Sect Disciples in the Southern Heavenly Palace, standing out from the crowd is no easy feat.

Little Fatty Chen Yihui, who used to gallivant around with his cute junior sister, is now exceptionally diligent, writing at least ten letters home each day with earnest words, simply to secure more family funds for training Dragon Beasts.

Qiao Caiqing, recognized for her assistance, also received some rewards from the sect, obtaining the scarce resources she needed; she is currently preparing for a breakthrough.

Zhu Minglang himself was considering which Dragon to send to the competition when the time comes.
