Chapter 224: Dark Ancient Sword Dragon
Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other, with surprise and helplessness in their eyes.
They didn't expect these two bastards to wake up so soon. They had originally planned to deal with everything before they woke up, but now it seems that the plan has to change.
Gu Yang yawned and said with a hint of joking in his voice:
"Ah Qing, it seems that our little guests and old friends are awake. Our rest time will be postponed again."
Hu Qing rubbed his temples and sighed: "Yeah, but at least they seem to be quiet."
The purple dragon cub seemed to understand what they said. It stopped struggling and just looked at the two of them curiously with its big eyes.
Elder Han's clone continued to make whimpering sounds, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Hu Qing stood up, walked to the purple dragon cub, and looked up at it:
"Little guy, do you know what you have done? You have caused us a lot of trouble."
The purple dragon cub seemed a little confused. It tilted its head and let out a low dragon roar, as if asking something.
Gu Yang walked to the bottom of Elder Han's clone and untied the rag in his mouth.
Elder Han's clone immediately protested loudly, "What are you two doing? Put me down! I've been watching over your house for so long, and you're actually turning a blind eye to my kindness!"
Hearing this, both of them laughed out loud, and Gu Yang stuffed the saliva-soaked rag back into the clone's mouth.
He actually had the nerve to say he was looking at houses. If he was really looking at houses, would it be so ruined?
Hu Qing and Gu Yang were too lazy to pay attention to this shameless clone. They just stood there quietly, observing the two guys hanging in the air.
There was a hint of amusement in the expressions of the two men, as if they were thinking about how to deal with this situation.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind.
With the heavy sound of the stone door of the training room slowly opening, the figure of Elder Han appeared at the door.
His eyes swept across the room quickly, and he was obviously surprised at the training room that was as clean as before.
Hu Qing keenly caught the shock in Elder Han's eyes, and immediately understood something in his heart - Elder Han was also involved in this matter.
He stepped forward and asked, "Elder, why are you here? Shouldn't it be morning at this time?"
Elder Han pointed at the clone in anger and responded, "This bastard kept calling me, asking me to come to your place because someone wanted to kill him. I ran over as soon as I heard it."
Gu Yang immediately looked at the two guys hanging up, and immediately noticed the urgency of Elder Han's clone.
When the clone hanging in the air saw the arrival of the real owner, it immediately twisted its body more violently as if it had grabbed a life-saving straw, trying to attract Elder Han's attention.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other, their tacit understanding needing no words.
Gu Yang walked forward and reached out to remove the cloth from the clone's mouth.
As soon as the cloth fell, the clone's voice immediately became louder. He explained eagerly, with a hint of panic and cunning in his tone to shirk responsibility.
"Boss, you're finally here! This purple dragon cub is truly lawless. It destroyed our home like this. I tried my best to stop it, but..."
The clone's words were full of grievance and helplessness, and he tried to put all the blame on the purple dragon cub.
The purple dragon cub seemed to understand the clone's words. A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in its eyes, but it remained silent.
From time to time, some grayish-white ambergris dripped from the corners of his mouth, and the minerals in his mouth had been almost digested.
Its gaze moved back and forth between Elder Han and the clone, as if waiting for how things would develop.
Elder Han's face was gloomy, and his eyes wandered between his clone and the purple dragon cub, as if he was thinking about something.
His voice was deep and full of unquestionable authority. "Hu Qing, Gu Yang, put them down first. He will explain this matter to you. You can ask me to reimburse you for any losses later."
Hu Qing and Gu Yang did not refuse. This was already the best solution. Since Elder Han was here, it meant that the truth of the matter would come out soon.
The two men acted quickly, untying the hanging ropes and lowering the purple dragon cub and the clone down.
As soon as the purple dragon cub landed on the ground, it immediately moved its stiff body, and its eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and vigilance.
It raised its head high, swallowed the last piece of ore, and then bared its teeth fiercely at Hu Qing and the others.
The clone immediately ran to Elder Han and whispered, as if telling something.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood aside, their faces showing deep fatigue.
After listening to the clone's explanation, Elder Han threw it next to the purple dragon cub, looked at the two of them, and said:
"What? Didn't you sleep all night? My clone told me the general situation. The responsibility is indeed on him..."
Then he changed the subject and directed his attack at his clone, saying, "Come on, tell them what happened."
Seeing this, the clone lowered his head, with an unnatural look on his face. Hu Qing and Gu Yang took out three cushions and sat down with Elder Han to listen to the whole story.
"I got drunk with you guys that day, and when I woke up, there was no one in the villa. I just wanted to wander around, ahem... to see if there was any wine left.
As I walked, I came to the bedroom on the second floor. I thought you must have put the wine there, but I didn’t find the wine, but I found the dragon egg you put on the bedside table.
At that time, the dragon egg had already cracked and there was a dark shadow swimming inside. Seeing that the situation was not good, I called the boss to come and check it out.
In the end, I was punished by having my cultivation level restricted for drinking alcohol, and I also have to take care of this egg until you return."
After saying this, the clone looked at Elder Han with some resentment on his face.
Elder Han stroked his beard and said nothing. Hu Qing and Gu Yang then understood. No wonder it was so easy to tie up the clone. It turned out that without cultivation, he could not resist.
"Keep talking, don't stop, finish." Elder Han said coldly.
"At that time, the boss left me a storage ring filled with meat and spiritual fruits. If the dragon eggs hatched, I would use these to feed them. But he didn't say that dragons have such a big appetite.
I thought the incubation period would take at least a month, but I didn't expect the dragon to jump out with a swish in less than ten days. When I found it, the bedroom had already become like that.
I had to take out some meat to feed it. It kept sticking to me. I wanted to clean it up for you, but it kept eating and would go crazy if it had no food.
I couldn't beat it, so I had to keep feeding it, twenty-four meals a day. If I missed a meal, it would run around everywhere."
As he spoke, the clone lifted up his clothes, revealing the bruises on his skin, and continued with a look of despair:
"This dragon would beat me up whenever it had nothing to eat. I had to get up even when I was sleeping to feed it. Later, all the food in the storage ring was gone, so I went to ask the boss for more.
When the eldest brother came to deliver food, the bad dragon rushed out again and knocked down the plum tree. Fortunately, the eldest brother was there and stopped it from running out of the yard.
I also mentioned this to the boss and asked him to let me use my spiritual power a few times, but he refused and locked me in this house.
I was living in dire straits again, until one day I discovered that it only ate spiritual energy and not food. I took out my private money and activated the spirit gathering array in the training room, and then I felt at peace.
I barely had a few days of peace before you came back and, without a word, tied me up and hung me up. This is really too much."
After the clone said a lot, he looked at Hu Qing and Gu Yang, and kept condemning them.
Gu Yang wanted to apologize, but they did not give him a chance to explain, so he was stopped by Hu Qing.
"Look at me."
Hu Qing took out a jar of Nanliu City specialty wine from his storage ring, opened the lid, and said:
"Oh, we do have a problem. Just look at the Nanliu River..."
Before the clone finished listening, he jumped up and snatched the wine jar from Hu Qing's hand. After taking two sips, he looked at Hu Qing and his partner with kind eyes.
Elder Han saw his useless look and waved his hand to knock him away. Then he grabbed the purple dragon cub's hands and brought it in front of Gu Yang, saying:
"Now you know where this came from, right?"
The purple dragon cub still wanted to resist, but when it sensed the breath of the three people, it suddenly became weak, its whole body became limp and powerless, hanging in the air.
Looking at its cowardly appearance, Hu Qing and Gu Yang found it difficult to connect the Dark Ancient Sword Dragon with it.
