"Or what? You tampered with my dragon horn without permission, and the powder from grinding my dragon horn is also mine," Chen Xi personally demonstrated what it means to extort someone.
Jin Yan looked as if he had seen a ghost, then pointed at Yan Hua, "This beast is the real culprit!"
Yan Hua, the beast himself, was leisurely eating tea snacks while Jin Yan spoke.
The tea snacks at the South Sea Dragon Palace were all exquisite seafood.
For example, dried silverfish or seaweed with seafood.
Or desserts that humans preferred.
However, most of the dragon race underwater preferred savory flavors and fresh seafood, so their tea snacks were something ordinary human cultivators could not get used to.
Chi Shangming and Wang Lanqing served as officials in the South Dragon Palace, and they usually bought their food and necessities from the mainland.
Chen Xi glanced at Yan Hua, then stood behind him with her hands on her hips, "Haven't you heard that to get rewards, you must put in effort? Yan Hua has protected me for so long. What's wrong with grinding my dragon horn into powder to make him a few clothes? I'm happy to do it."
Yan Hua wore an expression of "a child can be taught."
Jin Yan spat, "Look at how cheap you are. When Yan Hua bullies you, I never see you unhappy. Look at your behavior!"
"Hmph, Yan Hua, let's go and get ready immediately. What if news from the front line comes later? We'll go warm up right away." Chen Xi pulled Yan Hua, arrogantly lifting her small head, and turned to leave.
Jin Yan was left standing there, arms crossed, cursing, "Ungrateful, idiot, ungrateful wretch. Back then, we were all dragons, so why is this guy so stupid?"
"What's so strange about that? Haven't they always been like this all these years?" Yu Yuan walked over slowly from not far away, looking at the retreating figures of Chen Xi and Yan Hua, "Ever since I can remember, Yan Hua, as the elder brother, has always taken good care of Chen Xi."
Chen Xi was the last to be born among them. By the time he was born, the three of them had already transformed into human form.
Chen Xi was a small, milky creature who only knew how to cling to Yan Hua.
Wherever Yan Hua went, he followed.
At that time, they just thought this little dragon cub was too clingy and too weak as a brother, so none of them were willing to play with him.
Looking back now, the reason Chen Xi was so attached to Yan Hua might have been because Yan Hua was the only one who took care of him then.
"I just find Chen Xi's act of borrowing prestige quite amusing," Jin Yan chuckled at Yu Yuan, "His own strength is not much, yet he pretends to be very powerful after Yan Hua's actions. He provokes anyone he can."
"Actually, Chen Xi has never truly sparred with us," Yu Yuan walked over and sat down, pouring himself a cup of hot tea, and said as he drank, "Every time he says he'll get serious, he's actually stopped by Yan Hua, intentionally or unintentionally. He's also happy to be lazy and always hides behind Yan Hua. When you tease him, he just gets angry and goes to Yan Hua to complain. So, rather than saying he's too weak to fight, I think it's because he has a good nature and has never truly fought you."
Jin Yan opened his mouth, about to retort, but after recalling carefully, he couldn't help but put his hand down.
It seemed to be true.
Chen Xi had lived for so many years without ever truly getting angry.
Therefore, he himself didn't quite know how strong Chen Xi was. He only thought the other party was weak because he often retaliated by complaining.
Yu Yuan looked at Jin Yan, "So, don't underestimate him."
In their young era, there were Da Luo true immortals everywhere, true gods everywhere, and any one of them could fight.
If Chen Xi were truly that weak...
How could he have survived until now in an era where gods contended?
Yu Yuan looked at the tea in his cup.
Was it solely by Yan Hua's protection?
Perhaps not.
