"Whether you are or not," Ao Yuan waved his hand and grabbed him, "if you dare to appear within the territory of the Demon Court, you won't be able to escape."
Saying so, Ao Yuan lifted the thin figure as if he were carrying a chick.
The thin figure did not flee, nor did it show any intention of struggling.
Because just now.
The moment Ao Yuan extended his hand, he felt an extremely dense sense of crisis engulfing him.
It was fortunate that Ao Yuan did not act.
If he had any ill intentions, the thin figure felt he would surely die.
There was no other possibility.
Not long after, Ao Yuan brought the thin figure into the Dragon Palace.
He casually threw the thin figure aside and then made a video call to Elder Long.
Ao Yuan did not seem to worry at all that he would escape.
What was also unexpected was that the thin figure, despite being unrestrained, still showed no intention of fleeing.
Besides fearing Ao Yuan, it was because he could clearly understand through his senses that the Dragon Palace was a rare magical treasure.
Even if Ao Yuan did not have such strength, with such a spiritual treasure, he was definitely not someone he could deal with.
He certainly could not escape from this spiritual treasure.
Ring, ring...
"Ao Yuan, what is it?" The call was quickly answered, and Elder Long's aged face appeared on the phone.
Ao Yuan aimed the camera at the thin figure.
Just as he was about to speak, Elder Long's eyes widened, and he said stunned, "Ao Yuan, where did you find him?"
"Near the Demon Court," Ao Yuan replied, then asked, "Elder Long, do you know him?"
"I do," Elder Long's expression was extremely complex. "He is the creature that emerged from the rift."
"I always thought he perished with the mushroom bomb."
Hearing this, Ao Yuan nodded and then chatted with Elder Long for a few more sentences before hanging up.
Then, he propped his chin with one hand and stared intently at the thin figure.
At this moment.
The thin figure shivered all over, his face full of fear.
He knew his identity had been exposed.
And what awaited him could be imagined.
"Ao... Lord Dragon God, please don't kill me."
"I am useful, I am of great use!"
"Oh?" Ao Yuan raised an eyebrow, slowly stood up, and came to his side, looking down at him.
The thin figure immediately said, "I know what that world is like."
"Whatever you want to know, I can tell you truthfully."
Ao Yuan remained silent, his brow furrowed slightly.
The thin figure immediately understood that Ao Yuan was not satisfied.
He hurriedly spoke again, "Lord Dragon God, it's not just that."
"I... I have many treasures I can provide you with."
"Oh?" This time, Ao Yuan became interested.
Seeing this, the thin figure quickly shook his body and took out all the items he had, one stack after another.
Ao Yuan looked over.
Hey, he actually had quite a few treasures.
And the most numerous were shining objects, from which Ao Yuan could feel immense spiritual energy contained within.
Looking at the other items, there were a few pills and some treasures.
However, these treasures were completely inferior to the spear he had forged himself, so he was not very interested.
As for the pills.
With the system, what kind of pills could he not get with ease?
Seeing Ao Yuan still watching, the thin figure seemed to understand that his life was in Ao Yuan's hands, and he immediately said, "Lord Dragon God, those are spirit crystals, containing spiritual energy, which can be absorbed. They are also one of our trading currencies."
"And that treasure is a quasi-divine artifact, forged by a famous blacksmith. That pill can restore oneself..."
Ao Yuan looked at him and then weighed a spirit crystal.
The spirit crystal was not heavy, it shone, and it was quite beautiful.
Holding it in his hand, he could feel the spiritual energy contained within, which suddenly gave Ao Yuan the urge to swallow it in one go.
"Lord Dragon God, you can't eat this..."
Seeing Ao Yuan wanting to swallow it, the thin figure immediately spoke.
Ao Yuan swallowed it and chewed it with relish.
【Ding, congratulations to the host for devouring a high-level spirit crystal, obtaining 10,000 evolution points, and an additional 10,000 evolution points from Dragon Envoy crit.】
"Mmm~"
Listening to the system's voice, Ao Yuan found the spirit crystal even more delicious.
He then swallowed several more spirit crystals.
"Oh? Right, what did you say just now?"
After swallowing several pieces, Ao Yuan remembered that he seemed to have said something, and then turned to ask.
"I..." The thin figure's eyes were dull, and he moved his lips, forcing a smile. "It's... nothing."
He had no idea what to say.
His understanding of spirit crystals had been completely subverted by Ao Yuan.
When did spirit crystals become edible?
Were they not usually used for absorption?
And even if absorbed, wouldn't it take a long time for everyone?
Where else could one just shove them into their mouth like Ao Yuan?
Next.
Ao Yuan ignored him, opening his mouth and swallowing one spirit crystal at a time.
After eating all one hundred spirit crystals, Ao Yuan finally exhaled a breath.
"Comfortable~" Ao Yuan exclaimed, full of satisfaction.
Ao Yuan directly asked, "How many of these spirit crystals do you have?"
"They are... they are all here now," the thin figure said hesitantly.
Seeing Ao Yuan's suspicious look, he quickly explained, "Lord Dragon God, spirit crystals are not rare where we are."
"But these are all high-grade spirit crystals, which are very rare."
"Are you sure you don't have any more?" Ao Yuan squinted and asked.
"No... no," the thin figure said through gritted teeth.
"Lord Dragon God, I'm really not lying to you, I truly don't have any more..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ao Yuan interrupted him.
"Alright, alright, if you don't have any, then you don't have any."
Ao Yuan believed he was not lying. After all, the evolution points brought by the spirit crystals were too great.
Things that could bring such a significant increase in evolution points were definitely not easy to obtain.
"Then, Lord Dragon God, can you let me go?" the thin figure asked cautiously, seeing that Ao Yuan's expression was not feigned.
"What's your name?" Ao Yuan asked instead of answering.
"My name is Fa Yan," Fa Yan replied nervously.
In his heart, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Ao Yuan didn't answer, since he asked for his name, it was obvious he was letting him go.
Ao Yuan nodded slightly, "Fa Yan, that's a nice name."
Fa Yan chuckled and was about to reply when Ao Yuan changed the subject, "But I'm very sorry, I cannot let you go."
Silence.
Deathly silence.
Fa Yan stood frozen, his mind completely blank.
According to common sense.
Since his name had been asked, shouldn't Ao Yuan let him go?
Why did he say this at the end?
He had to admit, his young heart could barely take it.
...
