A calm expression does not mean emotional calm. Feeling how much Lie Yan cared about him, Ji Dong almost blurted out what he had been holding back for a long time. He has never really pursued a girl, and he doesn't know whether what he said at this time is a confession. But he really couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart. He at least wanted to let Lie Yan know that no matter when, in his heart, no one could replace her.
Hearing Ji Dong's words, Lie Yan became a little sluggish, "Little Ji Dong, you..."
Ji Dong lowered his head, and he found that his heart was beating violently, "Lie Yan, I'm going first. Since I want to help Suzaku, I'll send it to her overnight. My magic power is about to break through the three crowns, my brother said Let the teacher make a breakthrough for my guardian. I may not be able to come these days. Lie Yan, goodbye."
The red lotus swept across, and under the gaze of Lie Yan, the red lotus swept away, leading Ji Dong to leave the inner world.
Looking at the place where Ji Dong disappeared, Lie Yan raised his hand and touched his slightly flushed face, "What's wrong with me? Why is my face a little hot. Little Ji Dong, you little guy! Really..."
Back at Yin Yang Academy, Ji Dong immediately left the academy, ran wildly, and ran straight out of the city. He remembered the location of the Earth Spirit Mountain Range very clearly. When his magic power reached level 30, his physical strength naturally increased accordingly, and he ran as fast as a galloping horse. Soon, he left the city gate and headed straight to the east.
After saying those words, the blood in Ji Dong's body was still boiling until now, and the cool night wind was blowing, but his heart could not be calm for a long time. Only the figure of Lie Yan (raging flames) emerged in his mind. He was also worried. After hearing what he said, what will happen to Lie Yan? He was really afraid that Lie Yan would annoy him. However, it is too late to regret it now.
Running wildly, it took less than two hours for Ji Dong to enter the Diling Mountain Range again. He still had a hundred gold coins in his hand, and after paying, he went directly into the mountain range. With the identity token of Yin Yang Academy Special No. 49, he has not encountered any difficulties.
Ji Dong extravagantly relied on magic power to support his body on his way. Whenever the magic power was about to be exhausted, he took out a crystal nucleus to absorb the magic power in it. If other mages saw his extravagant behavior, they would be outraged. It's just that at this time, he only had that perfect figure in his mind, and he was already a little dazed. I don't even bother to calculate the price of the crystal nucleus.
In order to avoid trouble, as soon as he entered the mountain range, Ji Dong immediately took out a phoenix feather tail feather from the Suzaku bracelet. In the dark night, the phoenix feather exudes a red light, which is very beautiful, and can not only illuminate him. What's more, the aura of this phoenix feather is enough to make all monsters intimidated. When the low-level monster saw Ji Dong, it almost ran away. High-level monsters felt Feng Yu's breath and avoided it. Ji Dong ran towards the cave where Suzaku was located almost in a straight line.
The sky was getting brighter, and Ji Dong also stopped, gasping for breath, running wildly all night, his body and mind, which was already very tired, could no longer hold on. Fortunately, the Suzaku bracelet still contained the dry food and water he had prepared before entering the mountains, so he replenished some, rested for a while, and started on the road again.
An hour later, when the sky was bright and the sun was rising from the east, Ji Dong finally revisited the old place and came outside the Suzaku Cave again. Stopping, Ji Dong, who was extremely tired, couldn't help but feel a little dark in front of his eyes. He stood there panting, and felt a little better. You know, after a series of fierce battles yesterday, he helped Suzaku hatch the little Suzaku, and he hasn't had a good rest since then. Even his body soaked in dragon's blood can't hold it anymore.
"Ji Dong? Why are you here?" Suzaku's melodious voice came from the cave. The gentle suction lifted Ji Dong's body and led him into the cave again. With the previous experience, Ji Dong completely relaxed his body this time, allowing Suzaku's magic power to take him deep into the cave.
The red color of Jiyang concentrate illuminates the way ahead, and soon, he saw the fire phoenix representing Binghuo among the heavenly stem beasts.
Suzaku was standing under the phoenix blood sycamore tree at this time, with huge wings closed in front of him, and a small phoenix head poked out from the gap between the wings. meaning.
As soon as he saw Suzaku, Ji Dong knew that Lie Yan was right. Suzaku's bright phoenix eyes showed deep tiredness, and he nodded slightly to himself, then prostrated himself on the ground. On her wings, a faint red light was emitting, nourishing the body of little Suzaku.
"Friend, why are you back again? Is there something wrong?" Suzaku asked softly.
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Suzaku, do you really consider me a friend?"
Suzaku was stunned for a moment, "Of course. You helped me hatch the child and saved her life. I will always remember this kindness."
Ji Dong said: "Then why didn't you tell me that in order to help me inject those treasures into my body, you condensed them into Suzaku's inner armor?"
Suzaku chuckled, "So it was for this. Her Majesty the Flame Queen told you. You don't have to take it to heart. I did that to save my child! If your body can't hold on anymore, my child What to do? So, don't think too much about it. Besides, we are friends, and we should help each other, right?"
Ji Dong also smiled, "I'm relieved when you say that. Lie Yan asked me to give this to you. I believe it will help you." Then, he took the golden lotus seed that Lie Yan gave him from the Suzaku bracelet took it out.
When he was in the center of the earth lake, Ji Dong didn't feel much. At this time in the outside world, as soon as he took out the lotus seeds, the whole cave was reflected in gold, and the little Suzaku looked straight at it. With the lotus seeds in Ji's hand, she pursed her lips, showing a longing look.
"This is..." Suzaku was also stunned, his eyes fixed, and he stood up abruptly from the ground, "The natal red lotus? This is, is this the natal red lotus of Her Majesty Raging Flame Queen?"
Ji Dong said: "I don't know what the natal red lotus is, but since Lie Yan asked me to give it to you, I believe it will be of some use to you. You can accept it." While talking, he handed over the golden lotus seed go up.
"It's really for me?" Suzaku's eyes were full of disbelief.
Ji Dong smiled slightly, "Can I still lie to you?"
Suzaku stared blankly at the golden lotus seed, and gently stroked the little Suzaku in his arms, "No, Ji Dong, I can't take it. It's too precious. Do you know what this lotus seed means?"
Ji Dong shook his head suspiciously.
Suzaku smiled wryly, "Your Majesty Lie Yan is the red lotus in the center of the earth. In order to restore peace to the underground world, she defeated the two kings and became the master of the inner world. You may not know your majesty the queen very well. The status in the inner world of the earth. But I want to tell you that this natal red lotus itself is equivalent to the vitality and cultivation of Her Majesty the Empress. I estimate that Her Majesty only has nine of them. Each one is her immature It took more than ten thousand years to condense the fire element in the center of the earth. It is not only a part of her body, but also a symbol of her strength. Just this lotus seed is enough to make me go up the stairs. Heavenly Stem Divine Beast Among them, my ranking was originally only in the top five. But if I eat this lotus seed, not only will all my consumption be restored, but also my strength will definitely surpass all other heavenly beasts in a short time, ranking first bit."
Ji Dong looked at the golden lotus seed in his hand, he really didn't expect that such a small lotus seed would have such an effect. This is beyond what the four words Tiancaidibao can explain. In order to repay the favor for himself, Lie Yan actually took out such a precious thing. However, since he has come, how can he take back the lotus seeds in his hand
"Suzaku, you also said it just now. We are friends, and we should help each other. You are the same as Lie Yan, and your attribute is fire. You are also my friends. Don't be polite. Even if you don't think about yourself, you can Think more about your child. How can you help her recover if you are not strong enough? If you are not strong enough, you will not be able to protect her. She has suffered for three thousand years. Do you still want to watch your child recover? Is it dangerous? Accept it."
While talking, Ji Dong handed the lotus seeds up.
Two drops of red crystal liquid flowed out from Suzaku's eyes, and quietly dripped on the ground. She choked up and said, "Thank you, thank you..., Ji Dong, thank Your Majesty the Queen for me. Although I don't thank you for your kindness, but now I I really don't know what to say."
Ji Dong smiled and walked up to Suzaku, "Can I pet the little guy?"
Suzaku nodded lightly, "She likes you very much. You are the first male creature she saw after birth. We Suzaku have a very good memory, and she will never forget your breath."
Ji Dong gently touched Little Suzaku's head, and Little Suzaku rubbed his head against him actively, a pair of small fiery red eyes blinked and blinked, staring at Ji Dong firmly, without blinking.
Supporting the golden lotus seed with its wings, Suzaku gently pecked at it with its long beak. She immediately peeled off the outer layer of golden skin. Suzaku swallowed the skin, revealing the deep red lotus heart inside.
"You humans have a saying called Huizhi Lanxin, but you don't know that Her Majesty's red lotus heart is the real gate of wisdom. With this lotus heart, my child can recover even if his body is weaker." As she spoke, she held the lotus heart in her long beak and sent it to little Suzaku's mouth.
Little Suzaku was not too polite, and ate it in three or two bites, and even let out two immature tweets, looking extremely satisfied.
At this moment, a faint golden light radiated from Suzaku's body, and at the same time there was a strong fragrance of lotus. Suzaku closed his eyes very much, and hugged his child tightly with his wings, "Ji Dong, the little guy and I may I've been asleep for a while. Nothing I can say is enough to represent my gratitude to you and Her Majesty the Empress. Say hello to Her Majesty the Empress for me. If Suzaku is needed in the future, Suzaku will obey."
Ji Dong smiled slightly, and patted Little Suzaku's head again, "You guys have a good rest. Seeing that you are all right is my greatest joy. We are friends, not a relationship of interest. There is no reciprocity. Goodbye. "
I don't know if Suzaku heard Ji Dong's words, but before he finished speaking, they all fell into a deep sleep. The entire cave is filled with golden light and the rich aroma of lotus flowers.
Smelling this fragrance, even Ji Dong felt that his body was much better.
Not in a hurry to leave, Ji Dong sat under the stone wall beside him and began to rotate his own yin and yang vortex, he was really tired. It is difficult to get out of the Diling Mountains without taking a break.
In a blink of an eye, Ji Dong had entered the state of cultivation, and the Yin-Yang vortex was running on its own, absorbing the intense fire-attributed elements in Suzaku's cave whose concentration was not lower than that of Earth's core lake. Of course, the fire element here is just Binghuo. It is not complete with dual attributes like Earth Center Lake.
I don't know how long it took, but when Ji Dong woke up from the cultivation state, he was already in good spirits. Suzaku mother and daughter are still asleep. But the golden light in the cave has faded a lot.
Standing up and moving a little, Ji Dong suddenly felt that his body was full of strength again. The body soaked in dragon blood really recovered very fast. He didn't know that although it was Suzaku mother and daughter who ate the natal red lotus, the potency of the lotus fragrance and the strong golden light also nourished his body.
Lie Yan's natal red lotus is so overbearing. A beast like Suzaku can have a qualitative leap in strength after eating it. If Ji Dong takes it directly, his body can't bear it at all, and he will explode and die immediately. But there is no problem in absorbing some effects indirectly like this. He already clearly felt that his magic power reaching level 30 could break through to the triple crown at any time.
It's time to go back. Taking a look at Suzaku's mother and daughter sleeping soundly, with a satisfied smile, Ji Dong walked out of Suzaku's cave and left in the direction he came from.
It was already the middle of the day outside, looking at the sky, Ji Dong secretly smiled bitterly, I am afraid that he will be able to go back when it gets dark.
What Suzaku had said before echoed in his mind, that what Lie Yan gave him was actually so precious. His heart couldn't help twitching, and when he thought of Lie Yan's weakness and pain, his heart ached so badly.
Just as Ji Dong expected, when he rushed back to Zhongyuan City, the sun had already set. Walking into the city and walking in the dark, Ji Dong walked in the direction of Tiangan Academy. He just wants to go back to his room quickly, take a hot bath and sleep well. Tomorrow we can hit the Triple Crown.
Tiangan Academy was already in sight, and Ji Dong was surprised to see that at the main entrance of the academy, there was a group of students in school uniforms, who seemed to be looking at something.
