Chapter 970 Come Often

“Yo, Shi’an.” The door suddenly opened, and Jiang Xiao and the Gardener Pi jumped in.

Gu Shi’an looked at the two Jiang Xiaos with her hands on her hips, speechless. “What are you guys doing here?”

Jiang Xiao chuckled and said, “I’m here to heal the cow. By the way, are you tired? Want to go out and take a shower? Get some sleep?”

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao threw a Bell of Awakening at the Flower Basin Cow, the leaping medical light waves crisscrossing back and forth.

The Flower Basin Cow was a Gold-rank creature, its vitality extremely strong. Gu Shi’an had only cut open its skin, and Jiang Xiao had merely reached inside; he hadn’t crushed its heart.

The Flower Basin Cow wasn’t quite dead yet, and with Jiang Xiao’s divine Bell of Awakening skill and timely treatment, it would be fine.

Jiang Xiao planned to throw it back to the Flower Sea Pasture and never touch it again. This cow had made valuable contributions to scientific research. If it could survive, it should live a “retired” life, enjoying its remaining years.

Gu Shi’an bent down, hoisted the Sparring Partner Pi, and threw it at the Gardener Pi. “Hurry up and leave, you and you and you, all three of you get out of here, don’t disturb my training.”

Jiang Xiao directly reset the Sparring Partner Pi, and three Jiang Xiaos stood in place.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to continue experimenting, but the Star Map had some issues, and he needed to think carefully and digest the information he had just obtained.

Jiang Xiao picked up the Flower Basin Cow in one hand and teleported to the exit.

The Gardener Pi opened his mouth and said, “Yeah, that’s right, train hard, and get to the Star Sea soon.”

He emphasized the words “Star Sea.”

Gu Shi’an’s expression stiffened. “I’ll freaking…”

“I’ll bring you breakfast tomorrow, bye!” Jiang Xiao laughed, carrying the cow and Gardener Pi as he jumped out of the training space.

Gu Shi’an looked at the Sparring Partner Pi in annoyance. “Why aren’t you leaving?”

The Sparring Partner Pi shrugged. “Now that I’m here, I’ll assess your recent training results! Shi’an, go, bring me my Fangtian Halberd!”

Gu Shi’an: “%¥#@#¥!!!”



The Sparring Partner Pi stayed in the training space to accompany Gu Shi’an, while Jiang Xiao, after sending the cow away, opened the door and returned to Er Wei’s training space, training while quietly thinking.

Until 3 a.m., in Er Wei’s Calamity Shadow Territory, under this dim starlight, Jiang Xiao was already drenched in sweat.

The slender figure held a bow and arrow, continuously firing at the distant night sky.

The pair of eyes, arranged in a Nine Stars array, seemed to be able to lock onto everything. The spatial positioning effect of the Star Map not only created a chemical reaction with his archery skills but also allowed Jiang Xiao to possess the “perception” Star Technique to a certain extent.

For example, the Fog Dragon in the dense fog, or the Invisible Dragon after it concealed itself, if Jiang Xiao locked onto them in advance, no matter what environment they were in or what Star Technique they used, Jiang Xiao would be able to quickly find and lock onto them.

“Clang!” “Clang!”

One bamboo arrow after another struck the air wall. Jiang Xiao wasn’t playing any fancy tricks; he was just standing upright, sideways, a pair of Nine Stars eyes staring intently through the invisible air wall at the distant cold star…

Whoosh…

Another arrow with dense star power shot out rapidly, the movement smooth and flowing, simply pleasing to the eye.

But Jiang Xiao suddenly turned his head, because he heard footsteps behind him.

“You still know to come back!?” Jiang Xiao looked at the tall figure with resentment. “It’s three in the morning! You’re just getting home! Where did you go crazy?”

Er Wei: ???

Jiang Xiao blinked. “Say something.”

Er Wei glanced at Jiang Xiao coldly, seemingly wanting to say a few words, but now she had no desire to speak. She turned and walked towards the bed.

“Eh?” Jiang Xiao looked at her back, feeling something was wrong. He hurried to catch up, concerned. “I’m just joking with you, don’t you have some kind of temporary mission?”

Er Wei came to the bed against the air wall in the corner. She tilted her body and lay on the lower bunk, her arm draped over her eyes, ignoring Jiang Xiao.

“Uh…” Jiang Xiao sat down on the lower bunk, squeezing her legs inward. “What exactly happened?”

“Superior orders, depart tomorrow, return to the Northwest. They’re still working together, doing the final data analysis,” Er Wei finally spoke.

“Oh.” Jiang Xiao finally felt relieved. “Then go to sleep. What time do we leave tomorrow? I’ll wake you up.”

“7 o’clock,” Er Wei said, her arm still covering her eyes, but her left hand reached out, and then…

A translucent outline of an Invisible Dragon darted out…

Jiang Xiao’s face lit up with joy. “You successfully absorbed a Star Pet!”

This was really great!

“Yeah.” Er Wei turned over, lying on her side, curling up, facing the air wall. “You and it should cultivate a relationship while it’s still young.”

“Uh…” For some reason, Jiang Xiao felt that Er Wei’s words had a deeper meaning.

Er Wei’s voice came again, “Don’t bother me.”

Jiang Xiao: “Okay…”

With that, Jiang Xiao turned his head and saw the outline floating in front of him. He reached out, but saw the faint outline drift back, seemingly a little scared.

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said, “Come on, I’ll take you to a fun place!”

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao opened his Calamity Shadow World.

In front of him, the faint outline of the dragon’s head tilted. Jiang Xiao stepped in, half his body exposed outside the door, waving to the Invisible Dragon. “Come on.”

The Invisible Dragon cub turned to look at its resting master, then looked at the young man at the door. For a moment, it didn’t know what to do.

Er Wei’s voice suddenly rang out, “Go.”

After a long while, the Invisible Dragon cub followed.

Jiang Xiao was also a little curious. It had only been a few days, and the Invisible Dragon cub could already understand Chinese?

The intelligence and learning ability of this creature was truly strong. Was this a manifestation of super high racial stats?

Of course, completely mastering Chinese was unrealistic, but it seemed that it could already understand some simple words?

Jiang Xiao closed the space door, his eyes reddening. Under the bright night sky, patches of dark clouds gathered.

The light drizzle was cool and refreshing, touching Jiang Xiao and the Invisible Dragon cub’s bodies, allowing Jiang Xiao to better locate the Invisible Dragon cub. Yu Tears also gave Jiang Xiao the ability to fly.

The light drizzle outlined the entire silhouette of the Invisible Dragon cub. As long as it didn’t activate its Invisible Body, Jiang Xiao could still tell the outline of the other party, and wouldn’t feel like there was a bug in the world, missing a piece.

At the same time, Jiang Xiao secretly praised, the structure of the Dragon creatures was simply too exquisite!

The dragon head was completely in the image of an Eastern dragon, the small dragon horns and whiskers particularly vivid. Its body, about 70 centimeters long, had four claws below, and each claw had four toes.

The difference between “three claws, four claws, and five claws” should be that the more toes, the more powerful, right?

The Caged Dragon was Star quality. Jiang Xiao had used Yu Tears to drench the Caged Dragon’s body, and it did indeed have five claws, which made sense.

But why were the Fog Dragon and Crystal Dragon three-clawed, while the Diamond-quality Invisible Dragon and Star Dragon were four-clawed?

Jiang Xiao’s body slowly floated up, drifting forward, turning his head and waving to the Invisible Dragon. “Come on.”

The Invisible Dragon coiled in the drizzle, seemingly inclined to frolic, really liking the rain.

Jiang Xiao flew out, faster and faster, and the Invisible Dragon cub chased after him, its slender body winding around Jiang Xiao’s body, swirling and floating.

The two frolicked in flight for a long time. Jiang Xiao pressed one hand on the Invisible Dragon cub’s body, and the bodies of the human and dragon flashed, arriving in front of the stone villa’s gate.

Not being able to get along with Han Jiangxue’s Star Dragon cub was Jiang Xiao’s regret. Now, Er Wei had made up for his regret.

Er Wei was right, now that the Invisible Dragon was still young and easier to talk to, it was the best opportunity to cultivate a relationship.

Jiang Xiao pointed to the villa in front of him and said, “This is our home, your master will occasionally live here, uh… can you understand?”

In the drizzle, the silhouette of the Invisible Dragon cub looked around, giving Jiang Xiao no reaction.

“Okay…” Jiang Xiao flew upwards, to the top floor, directly entering the villa’s third floor from the outer platform.

After entering the house, Jiang Xiao looked around, coming to the door of the westernmost, innermost room, and pushing it open. “There, this is your master’s room, look there, familiar, right?”

Following the direction of Jiang Xiao’s finger, the Invisible Dragon cub saw a huge bed, and directly above the bed, hanging on the stone wall, was a printed, framed, huge photo.

“Hiss…” The Invisible Dragon cub made a small throat sound, slowly swimming over, its cold body brushing against Jiang Xiao’s face and neck, all the way forward, that texture… simply invincible.

The Invisible Dragon cub swam to one meter above the bed, its invisible dragon eyes looking at the huge photo on the wall, that was…

That was its master, holding a corpse in her right hand, picking up a pale white giant flower in her left hand, placing it at her nose, closing her eyes, lightly smelling the fragrance.

In fact, Jiang Xiao originally wanted to remove the corpse, but it was too ugly to put a mosaic on it. His skills were not refined, and he couldn’t find outsiders to print it, so he could only do it himself, so…

Ah, let it be, anyway, no one comes here, she’s the only one living here, no one else will see it.

But to be honest, that corpse wasn’t a corpse in the general sense; it was a member of Star Transformation, Liana.

Currently, Er Wei hadn’t seen this picture yet. When she came home and saw this photo, Jiang Xiao even thought that, compared to the flower held in her left hand, she might prefer the thing in her right hand.

The Invisible Dragon floated in mid-air, curiously turning around, tilting its head.

Unfortunately, its semi-invisible silhouette greatly reduced the effect of its ignorant, cute appearance.

Jiang Xiao said, “You can’t provoke her in the future, you have to always be obedient, she’s especially irritable and cruel!”

Jiang Xiao didn’t think he was saying bad things about Er Wei.

He just believed: Ideas should be instilled from a young age.

Doing so would facilitate Er Wei’s manipulation and command of this Invisible Dragon in the future.

Er Wei’s temper and personality would absolutely not change, and if this Invisible Dragon was cultivated and grew up in a normal way, it would definitely be a proud breed, so this was bound to be a hidden danger.

Compared to Han Jiangxue, who had already become a “Star Dragon Mom,” Jiang Xiao was more worried about how Er Wei, who wasn’t good at expressing emotions, would use what kind of positioning to live with the Invisible Dragon and fight side by side in the future.

Jiang Xiao was very glad that Han Jiangxue had found such a positioning. Some men and women who raised puppies and kittens also always called themselves that, and a deep affection had also been cultivated between the owner and the pet.

And the relationship between Bai Shan Xue Yu (White Mountain Snow Feather) – Xiao Xiao and Er Wei had almost given Jiang Xiao the answer; this was a living example.

She didn’t seem to treat Xiao Xiao as a pet, but more like a soldier under her command.

She had extremely high demands and strict management of Xiao Xiao.

It couldn’t be said that Er Wei’s training method was wrong, after all, everyone had their own characteristics and ways of doing things.

During the first exploration of the Dragon Cave, Xiao Xiao’s performance could be described as brilliant, with strict obedience and extremely high qualities.

Faced with the Dragon race, which was at least one rank stronger, and in large numbers, Xiao Xiao had always led the other members of the Bai Shan Xue Yu clan, as their example and leader, never dropping the ball.

Therefore, artificial intervention, cultivating the Invisible Dragon from a young age, instilling and establishing some thoughts and concepts, was particularly necessary.

Jiang Xiao looked at the Invisible Dragon’s ignorant appearance and knew that it probably didn’t understand these words.

It doesn’t matter, we’ll come often in the future!

I will definitely let you deeply understand the terror of this fierce lynx…
