Chapter 115 You even remember his breath?
Chapter 115: You even memorized his aura?
Underwater Divine Realm.
Ever since Shang You discovered that the center of the pool could lead deep into the icy abyss, and that the deeper she practiced, the more energy she accumulated compared to the surface,
Shang You had been diving into the abyss for several days to concentrate on her training. She wouldn't return to the surface of the ice until her dragon tail lost its strength to flutter, then she'd swim back to the ice floe to rest.
Then she'd go to the ice cave to try to break open the ice wall and talk to her brother.
One day, Shang You had swum to the bottom of the icy abyss as usual, but unexpectedly, she found a dragon scale larger than her palm in a crack in the ice.
At first, Shang You thought it was a glow emanating from the ice, but as she got closer, she realized something was amiss. The dragon scale was
incredibly hard, its curves sharp and cold, emitting a faint blue glow.
The more she looked at it, the more it looked like... the scales of the big bad guy.
No, this was the big bad guy's dragon scale!
Shang You's hands were too small to fully lift the dragon scale, so she spread her tiny paws and carried it on her tail all the way back to the pool.
Once back on the surface, Shang You couldn't wait to carry the dragon scale back to the ice cave.
Through a transparent wall of ice, He Zhimo, hearing the swishing of his sister's tail, emerged from the ice cave. He
Zhimo had also developed small dragon tails on his legs over the past few days.
Unlike Shang You's translucent blue tail, the scales on He Zhimo's tail were a shimmering, gradient blue-gold.
Furthermore, due to the increased dragon breath energy absorbed through their training, the color of the scales on the two cubs' dragon tails had become noticeably brighter over the past two days.
He Zhimo assumed his sister had encountered some difficulty while training at the bottom of the pool and had emerged the moment she heard the noise.
"Youyou, what's wrong?"
Shang You immediately held up the heavy dragon scale to show him. "Brother, I found the bad guy's dragon scale underwater!"
Shang You continued, perplexed, as He Zhimo observed it.
"But I remember the dragon scales on the bad guy's tail were incredibly strong. Last time, I used all my strength to bite off a single one, but couldn't. How did his scales end up underwater?"
He Zhimo didn't immediately answer the question, instead raising another point of confusion.
"Youyou, do you feel that the chill emanating from this dragon scale is very similar to the dragon breath energy we've been absorbing these past few days?"
Shang You was stunned upon hearing this. He lowered his head and touched the dragon scale, and more chill air flowed from it.
But just as his brother had said, the chill within the dragon scale had a very similar scent to the dragon breath they'd been absorbing these past few days, and even a richer energy.
Shang You held the heavy dragon scale in her arms, and a guess suddenly popped up in her mind. She raised her head hesitantly, "Brother, could the dragon breath energy we accumulated through practice be the bad guy's energy?"
Before He Zhimo could answer, Shang You's face was almost wrinkled, "But why did he do this?"
He Zhimo suddenly raised his head after some thought, "I suddenly remembered! Youyou, do you remember what he said to us before he left that day?"
Shang You nodded vigorously, "I remember! The bad guy said that we should practice hard here and accumulate enough energy to open the ice wall barrier and leave here to see mom..." "
Well, he also said that we can go to see mom when we can stand on our own outside - Youyou, it just suddenly occurred to me that the main point of his words might be that we should be able to stand on our own outside?"
Shang You repeated word for word, "Stand on our own?"
"Because when we escaped last time, we were almost locked up by that bad grandpa, and he rescued us..."
He Zhimo felt very annoyed and frustrated when he mentioned this, "Youyou, actually, I think some of what he said is quite right. At that time, I was just thinking about taking you away quickly, but I didn't think about whether I could protect you if we met bad guys after we got out..." "
So, this time I have made up my mind to practice and become stronger, so that I can take Youyou away and then I can have the ability to protect Youyou."
Having said that, He Zhimo's gaze slowly returned to the dragon scale held by Shang You, "Youyou, do you think this is his... real purpose for wanting us to stay here?"
After hearing what her brother said, Shang You looked at the dragon scale with mixed feelings, and her little hand scratched the dragon pattern on the scales. After a long time, she only uttered a weak sentence.
"It seems so... But, even if it is so, I will not forgive the bad guy who broke my mother's tail feathers."
"Youyou..."
Shang You threw the dragon scales next to the ice wall. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He rubbed his nose with a depressed look and said, "Brother, I have to go down to practice first..."
After saying that, without waiting for his brother to reply, he spread his little dragon tail and jumped back into the depths of the pool...
At the same time, Cheng Huang followed Shang Youqing's instructions and returned to the sea area where the dragon cave was located.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the cliff at the edge of the coast, he ran into Chen Jichuan, who had been standing on the edge for who knows how long.
Seawater splashed on the side of Chen Jichuan, as if he had just come up from the other side of the sea.
Cheng Huang looked at him strangely as soon as he landed. He changed back into human form and immediately stepped forward to ask on behalf of Fenghuang, "Colonel Shen, why are you here?"
Shen Jichuan looked at Shang Youqing who was approaching, his face quite solemn. After a long while, he squeezed out a very clumsy lie, "I was passing by." "That
's not right, Colonel Shen, didn't you say you had something to leave for, then how could you be passing by here?"
Shen Jichuan was silent for a moment, "Yes, I was passing by here--" "Are
you here to find Ying Shixue?"
Without giving Shen Jichuan a chance to reorganize his words, Shang Youqing asked directly.
Shen Jichuan was a little stunned, the corners of his mouth slightly stretched, trying to change the subject, "Why would Qingqing feel..."
"I'm not guessing." Shang Youqing's eyes fell on the sea water around him, pointing to the evidence to him, "I smell the coldness of that dragon around you."
It was the eternal coldness of that dragon, and it was hard for her to ignore it.
Chen Jichuan was stunned when he heard her words, then he looked at her helplessly and said, "You even remember his breath?"
Shang Youqing was silent for a moment, and did not answer the question directly, but asked, "Chen Jichuan, so you did see him just now? He is really here?"
Shang Youqing originally just wanted to come here to find Ying Shixue's subordinates, and then find out the specific whereabouts of her two children.
It was totally unexpected that Ying Shixue dared to come back here.
She narrowed her eyes and clenched her hands tightly.
She didn't realize how aggressive her eyes were at the moment because of Ying Shixue.
However, the next second, Chen Jichuan deliberately avoided her direct gaze and said, "No, he is no longer here."
