Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1303: 1307: The Late Return of the Sun

Chapter 1303: Chapter 1307: The Late Return of the Sun

But after a while, the expression on her cheeks changed, transforming into something utterly incredulous after a serious and earnest observation!

“Young Master, where did this sprout come from??” Xiao Xiao asked in a hurry.

“An extraordinary object?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Extremely extraordinary, it’s a Dragon Vein Sprout.” Xiao Xiao said very seriously.

“What’s its use?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Young Master, have you heard of the concept of Dragon Veins in Emperor’s Physiognomy Art?” Xiao Xiao said.

“I’ve heard about that, but aren’t Dragon Veins supposed to be determined by feng shui, like mountains, rivers, trends, terrains, arrangements, and the like?” Zhu Minglang said.

“With this Dragon Vein Sprout, even the most dangerous and ominous lands can become Dragon Veins that are sought after but rarely found!” Xiao Xiao said with certainty.

“But we are cultivators, not seeking to unify realms, enjoy everlasting glory, or have a family full of descendants; even for immortals like me, Dragon Veins aren’t of much use.” Zhu Minglang said.

“Its uses are certainly not limited to achieving Emperor’s Physiognomy Art; with it, the growth of those spiritual herbs and trees I plant will be multiplied by centuries. Our little annex can become a unique Immortal Mansion Cave Heaven.” Xiao Xiao said.

“Oh? That is indeed a treasure!” A smile appeared on Zhu Minglang’s face.

“It’s more than a treasure…”

“Since it’s useful to you, I’ll entrust you with its stewardship.” Zhu Minglang handed the Dragon Vein Sprout to Xiao Xiao.

Little Maid Xiao Xiao looked at Zhu Minglang in disbelief.

Apparently, receiving such a precious Immortal Seed and being trusted with it was so astonishing that she was both flattered and somewhat at a loss.

“Young Master, are you really giving it to me?” Xiao Xiao asked cautiously.

“With it, will the Fairy Pears for Little Jiuwei be enough?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Yes!! Plenty enough!!!” Little Maid Xiao Xiao’s cheeks were filled with uncontainable joy; she usually bore a slight cold pride, exhibiting a maturity and solemnity beyond her years, but now she was brimming with girlish delight, as if she had received a stunning gift.

“Here are ten Liuli to make up for the docked monthly pay. I’ll give you another ten Liuli to buy some expensive Condensed Immortal Seeds to cultivate.” Zhu Minglang said.

The only thing in Little Maid Xiao Xiao’s eyes at this moment was the Dragon Vein Sprout. As a maid who was also in charge of finances, money was no longer of any concern!

…

Time indeed flies, for once one is immersed in dragon-raising, the joy is endless.

Ever since the Chongwang Dragon had advanced, Zhu Minglang finally regained his dignity from the Zhenmen Beast and Zhendao Beast.

In the second month, not only was his salary not docked, but he was also rewarded with an additional fifteen Liuli for his outstanding performance and for keeping the Suppressing Beasts calm and unagitated!

And Little Maid Xiao Xiao’s Dragon Vein Sprout yielded a tremendous harvest; the diet of the Little Jiuwei Dragon improved several grades at once. The Little Jiuwei Dragon, also having regained its confidence, gave the Zhendao Beast a thorough beating, fiercely revenging its previous defeat.

…

In the Cloud Heaven Sky Court, on the Ten Thousand Year Disk, an ancient and vibrant Immortal Sword floated above a Divine Stone. Although it was simply stationary there, it possessed a deterrence far greater than some Immortal Dragons and jade beasts.

The Weaver Star slowly approached; even after so many years of acquaintance, to her, the origin of this sword still remained a mystery.

This is its fiftieth year of faithful duty.

Yet there had been some minor mishaps. Had this happened to the temperamental Golden Crow, the Heavenly Gods would not have thought much of it, but with Red Sun, it made them uneasy.

“Where did you go during those missing days?” Weaver Star asked.

Red Sun still hovered there; after all, it was a dragon, endowed with spiritual intelligence. Weaver Star could sense Red Sun “gazing” at her, yet it remained calm and silent.

“I know I am not your master, but I am still your caretaker… It’ll soon be your fiftieth year of duty, please try not to have any problems, okay?” Weaver Star said.

Having spoken, an enormous Cloud Passage Door slowly opened. Red Sun, as always, flew towards it, turning the clouds it passed through brilliant and multicolored. The godly light radiating from its sword form was dazzling, splendid, and even when that light passed through the distant Cloud Heaven and fell onto the land frozen in darkness, one could still feel the warmth!!

All things revived with the coming of the rising sun; the world appeared so orderly, following basic laws precisely because the sun always rises in the east!

The mortals began their busy day.

Cultivators began absorbing spiritual energy and regulating their breathing.

Dragon Shepherds started to tame and command dragons.

Whether it was the marketplace or the sects, both burst with vivacity and energy…

Weaver Star sat at the edge of the clouds, her gaze did not stray from the vast sky for the entire day.

With Jun Tian encircling the sky, who knows how distant the celestial path it traversed could be, the past Red Sun could fly this path of the day with incredible precision, almost not deviating on its return.

However, what Weaver Star feared most still happened.

On the first day of its duty, it returned slightly late.

A person returning late would just face some scolding, but a sun returning late could greatly impact the entire Jun Tian.

“Why did you linger over the sea for a while, do you also enjoy playing in the water?” Weaver Star inquired.

Red Sun still did not respond.

“I will make excuses for you, but please be on time in the coming days. A day’s deviation might only bring a touch of warmth to the mortal realm, but each additional minute of deviation thereafter can cause chaos in all things, collisions of spiritual energy, the earth to dry, and the clouds to stir…” Weaver Star continued.

Red Sun returned to the Divine Stone, hovering there.

As usual, it seemed to be waiting for something.

But to Weaver Star, it seemed different from usual; though still quietly staying there, the Red Sun of the past was like an old, time-worn person, whereas now, it resembled a child eager to try!

“Oh dear, Heavenly Zither Fairy, why are you here again, keeping company with Red Sun? Hasn’t the matter already passed??” An Immortal Elder walked in, dressed in red garments like a bridegroom.

“Immortal of Marriage.” Weaver Star stood up and gave an elegant bow.

“This year’s Qixi Festival will arrive a bit early, we need to get busy for the matchmaking of men and women in the mortal world,” said the Immortal Elder.

“Each to their own destiny, leave it to fate.”

“That won’t do. Each may have their destiny, but often act against their true feelings; clearly in love, yet they reject; clearly disinterested, yet forced to match because of others around them; ‘If Heaven could grow old from emotions…’ Moreover, be it mortals or fairies, love is so beautiful it’s irresistible, yet it’s the most tormenting, causing the greatest pain. As deities in charge of mortal love, we naturally need to listen, make matches, grant the gift of love to those with affection, and let those who’ve lost love fade away,” the Immortal Elder spoke.

Weaver Star simply nodded slightly, neither acknowledging nor denying.
