Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”
Chapter 479 - Chapter 479 Chapter 469 Li Dragon

Chapter 479: Chapter 469 Li Dragon Chapter 479: Chapter 469 Li Dragon The river in the valley below suddenly began to boil, and billowing white fog rose, followed by an angry roar, “How dare someone disturb the peace of Duan Mountain Canyon?!”

Canglong immediately said, “There’s also a Li Dragon under Duan Mountain Canyon…”

Before he could finish, a colossal black figure soared into the sky from within the white fog, its size not the slightest bit smaller than Canglong! It was completely black, with scales dark as ink. Its eyes too were pitch-black, indiscernible at a glance, but its mouth, and especially its teeth, appeared stark white. Most eye-catching, however, was the golden bead on its chin, the size of a human head and dazzlingly brilliant.

Canglong immediately said, “Boss, that bead is the Dragon Energy emitted by the Li Dragon during cultivation. It is said that this bead can enlighten beings. If merged into a stone, even a stone can speak and begin cultivation!”

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng thought, what a treasure!

He wondered if giving each rabbit one of these could make them smarter…

While Yi Zheng was pondering, the Li Dragon turned its gaze to Canglong and bellowed, “Canglong, you dare show your face before me?”

Canglong explained, “Before I became a dragon, I was known as Canglong. Back then, my Divine Sense came here out of curiosity to investigate the treasures of gold and jade, and I nearly got myself annihilated by him…”

After speaking, Canglong snorted coldly, “That was then, this is now, Li Dragon. I am not something you can manipulate at will anymore. Moreover, I am merely a mount!”

On hearing that Canglong was just a mount, the Li Dragon’s brow furrowed.

He had already noticed Yi Zheng and the swarm of rabbits on Canglong’s back, akin to a bunch of fleas. He hadn’t believed it for a moment that Canglong would serve as a mount to anyone…

Now, as Canglong himself admitted it, his heart sank.

But upon observing the rabbits’ strength again, he laughed, “Although you’ve become a dragon, you’re truly an inept one! A majestic Divine Dragon, yet you serve as a mount for a bunch of rabbits? You’re truly a disgrace to our Dragon Clan!”

Canglong chuckled, “A disgrace? I don’t think so; I feel quite good about it.”

The Li Dragon rebuked sharply, “Shameless creature! Still feeling good? If I were you…”

Canglong said, “If you had experienced what I have, you would feel the same.”

The Li Dragon scornfully said, “Impossible, absolutely impossible.

I am not some hybrid waste who took up a partial path to cultivation!

As a member of the Pure-Blooded Dragon Clan, I have my pride, whether facing swords and flames or the sky falling and the earth splitting, I would never allow myself to serve as anyone’s mount! That’s the pride of a Pure-Blooded Dragon Clan.

That’s something a hybrid waste like you could never comprehend, an unyielding pride!”

Just then, a token was poked up above Canglong’s head with a black bamboo stick, being handed over to the Li Dragon.

The Li Dragon was about to rebuke sharply, but then he saw the token on the bamboo stick. His expression suddenly changed, and then he saw the lazy Little Rabbit on top of Canglong’s head saying, “Oh, the wind is really strong today, it’s messing up my hair.”

As he spoke, he took out an Ancient Bronze Mirror and kept glancing at his plump, chubby face in it.

Seeing the words “Kunlun Mirror” on the Ancient Bronze Mirror, the Li Dragon’s eyes nearly popped out as he almost screamed, “The Kunlun Mirror?!”

…

The next moment, Canglong glanced sideways at the Li Dragon draped with rabbits and mockingly said, “Tsk tsk… Pure-Blooded Dragon Clan, huh?

Tsk tsk, so unyielding!

Not willing to serve as anyone’s mount!”

The Li Dragon’s face flushed red, but luckily his skin was dark and his scales were jet black too, so the hint of red wasn’t noticeable. He grumbled, “I said I wouldn’t serve as a mount to others, not to rabbits. What’s the problem with that?”

Canglong: “…”

The Li Dragon asked, “Canglong, what exactly are you here for?”

Canglong replied, “Nothing much, just here to carry away some local specialties.”

The Li Dragon exclaimed in shock, “Local specialties?”

Canglong pointed towards two mountains made of gold and jade and said, “Those over there!”

The Li Dragon was immediately enraged, “You want to take away my mountains? No, absolutely not! You cannot take them away!”

Canglong answered, “Just two mountains, why are you so stingy?”

The Li Dragon retorted, “What do you mean ‘just two mountains’? I was born here, this is my hometown!

For a member of the Pure-Blooded Dragon Clan, nothing is more important than this!

This is my pride as a member of the Pure-Blooded Dragon Clan!

It’s simple, I’d rather die than comply!”

Canglong rolled his eyes upwards towards Yi Zheng and said, “Boss, you heard him, he doesn’t want to give them to you.”

Yi Zheng glanced at the Li Dragon, “Not giving them? Then forget it, I’m not one to force others.”

The Li Dragon momentarily felt relieved, thinking, “At least this dead rabbit has some conscience.”

But then he heard the rabbit say, “However, as the saying goes, ‘All lands under the sky belong to the emperor, all beings in its borders are subjects of the emperor’. Everything in West Kunlun belongs to the Queen Mother of the West. Now that I’ve come to reclaim the Queen Mother’s property, yet someone refuses to give it, isn’t this akin to digging a corner from the Queen Mother herself and rebelling?”

Upon hearing this, Li Dragon’s scales exploded over his entire body as he exclaimed excitedly, “Rabbit, you must not speak carelessly!”

Yi Zheng replied, “I’m not speaking carelessly, am I wrong? West Kunlun was a gift from Lady Houtu to the Queen Mother of the West, and everything here came as a bonus. You don’t have a problem with that, do you?”

Li Dragon was rendered speechless, he truly had no objection.

Yi Zheng continued, “Since you have no objections, whose are these mountains of gold and jade? Do I even need to say it?”

Li Dragon was utterly at a loss for words.

Seeing Li Dragon in this state, Yi Zheng was actually quite curious. Although Lady Houtu is the Earth Mother and rules over all mountains and lands, it couldn’t be that just her single declaration could arbitrarily determine the ownership of a range of mountains, could it?

But seeing Li Dragon’s expression, it seemed that indeed it should be so, at least both Li Dragon and Canglong accepted this rule.

Yi Zheng thought to himself, “It seems I’ve underestimated Lady Houtu’s authority.”

He then realized something else, if Lady Houtu could casually give West Kunlun to the Queen Mother of the West as her property, could it mean that Lady Houtu could also trade lands at will?

And the mountains and rivers here, for cultivators and divine beasts, are their homes!

In that case, wouldn’t Lady Houtu become the world’s biggest real estate merchant?

“In the future, I must keep a good relationship with Lady Houtu. Even if I can’t become a real estate tycoon, at least I shouldn’t end up as a housing slave!” Thinking of the miserable life of a housing slave on Earth, less than a dog’s life, Yi Zheng was determined not to become a housing slave.

All these thoughts flashed through his mind, and seeing Li Dragon’s dejected appearance, he said in a low voice, “Don’t be unhappy, technically, this mountain belongs to the Queen Mother of the West, and you are just a temporary tenant staying here for a few days.

You’re the kind of tenant who hasn’t even paid the rent!

Now you even try to resist my reclaiming the property, you’re a dishonest tenant!”

“I was already generous not to have Kaiming Beast thrash you, right, Brother Kai?”

Yi Zheng retorted, looking up.

The next moment, a pair of large eyes appeared in the air, it was Kaiming Beast.

Kaiming Beast declared, “Brother Rabbit is right, West Kunlun belongs to the Queen Mother of the West. We’re reclaiming two mountains, what right do you have to complain? Another word, and I’ll whip you!”

Seeing Kaiming Beast, Li Dragon shivered with fright and quickly kowtowed, “Little Dragon dares not, Little Dragon dares not.”

And he also understood, he truly could not hold onto the mountain.

Yi Zheng patted Li Dragon on the head and said, “Don’t be unhappy, when the Queen Mother crafts the elixirs…”

“Big brother, spare my life! It’s just two mountains, you can take them, if that’s not enough, there is also a Jade Dragon Belt in the water, you can take that too!” Li Dragon, as if facing something terrifying, lay flat on the ground and cried out in fear.

Yi Zheng had a troubled look and coughed, “Uh, Li Dragon, don’t panic. The elixir I’m talking about isn’t for testing, it’s a finished product.”

Li Dragon was stunned, then ecstatically said, “Really?!”

Every creature on Kunlun Mountain knew the Queen Mother’s unreliable skills in alchemy.

But also, everyone knew that once the Queen Mother crafted a perfect elixir, it would be a priceless treasure!

Free of side effects, it could not only enhance strength and cultivation but also extend lifespan!

The Dao of Heaven and Earth, the path of cultivation is hard; lifespans of thousands or tens of thousands of years pass in a blink.

While Li Dragon might boast a lifespan of several million years, in the grand stream of time, it’s merely a blink.

It could be said that except for the eternally living demons and gods and all the immortals and buddhas, most beings are always in need of more lifespan.

That’s why so many gods, spirits, demons, and ghosts roam everywhere, devouring people, searching for treasures, enduring relentless cultivation. They are merely fighting against time, attempting to break through the limits of their strength and extend their lifespans before the end…

If the effort to extend life fails, under the decay of heaven and human, regardless of the strength one holds, all might perish.

So, the elixirs from the Queen Mother are indeed highly coveted.

Now that Yi Zheng had promised him a finished elixir, Natural Li Dragon was overjoyed!

The Gold Jade Mountains, though extraordinary, could not help him extend his lifespan or enhance his strength. Exchanging them for elixirs was truly striking a huge bargain!

Moreover, the Gold Jade Mountains were not even his, they were just being returned to their rightful owner.

In that moment, to Li Dragon, Yi Zheng looked extremely agreeable as he thought, “How can there be such generous people in this world?”

The next moment, Li Dragon looked up, “Boss Rabbit, what are you spacing out for?”

Yi Zheng was stunned, then he heard Li Dragon say, “Hurry up and start mining the mountains! I’ve researched these two mountains for over ten thousand years, and they are tricky. If you use force to demolish them, they’ll disintegrate.

You can’t use mana, only manpower.

Fine craftsmanship ensures quality work.

You let your people follow my instructions, I’ll handle the outer stone layer, and you dig the details. With so many powerful and energetic people, it won’t take a week to fully excavate these two mountains!”
