Chapter 1413 - 1412: Boss Pig's Feed
Virtually guaranteeing, gave Dragon Mother a slight ease of caution towards Tang Rao."First heal Xiao Long, if anything happens to him, you can bet I won't let you off."
Dragon Mother kicked Tang Rao on the butt, knocking him into the cave entrance. Is this her version of letting things go? Why does Tang Rao feel like this is double the punishment?
The cave was pitch black, couldn't even see a fart, where did the Dragon Cub go?
Tang Rao searched around and finally saw where the Dragon Cub was.
"Hey, I'm going to treat you now, come down quickly."
Tang Rao pointed at the Dragon Cub behind the rockery, threatening him.
If it were before, the Dragon Cub would have attacked Tang Rao, but at this moment, the Dragon Cub looked at Tang Rao with more security.
"Roar~"
The Dragon Cub roared at Tang Rao, and Tang Rao didn't have time to cover his ears, sweating in surprise, but upon checking himself, he was perfectly fine.
Just as Dragon Mother said, Dragon Blood was working wonders on Tang Rao's body.
The Dragon Cub and Dragon Mother looked similar, almost a miniature version of Dragon Mother.
Equally lacking in human-like features, just looking at them was quite eerie.
Tang Rao wanted to release Little Fire Ginseng, but faced with such a formidable creature, Little Fire Ginseng timidly refused to come out.
"Will you go or not, no going means no food, no fun; if your boss faces whatever, you don't care about me either."
Since he tamed Little Fire Ginseng, he never imagined he'd have to act pitiful for its sympathy.
"I'm going, I'm going."
Just about to jump out, Little Fire Ginseng timidly retreated back.
"Hmm?"
Tang Rao did it intentionally, always finding challenging tasks for Little Fire Ginseng to handle, leaving Little Fire Ginseng with no choice but to face the risk of being scared to death by the Dragon Cub while bravely taking action.
Little Fire Ginseng drilled into the Dragon Cub's body, moved around inside, then emerged as an ice pop.
Fire Ginseng turned into an ice pop; Tang Rao couldn't help but find it both infuriating and amusing.
Next came an even more problematic solution.
"Is Xiao Long born with excess cold, or has he been like this since birth?"
Tang Rao diagnosed Xiao Long's condition at a glance. After defrosting Little Fire Ginseng, it returned to the palace within Tang Rao's possession, accepting heaps of rewards offered by Tang Rao.
"He was like this from birth."
Sigh.
Dragon Mother didn't want to recall the past but had to explain to Tang Rao why the Dragon Cub turned out this way.
"Don't be fooled by the Dragon Clan's might; we have weaknesses, especially at midnight during the full moon."
Dragon Mother explained to Tang Rao.
She never intended to tell Tang Rao, predicting he might betray her.
It turns out that dragons have different habitats but share common traits—they possess a natural fire attribute.
Their fire attribute grants them big power; however, their weakness is the midnight during the full moon—it's the coldest time. On this day, they usually stay indoors, especially pregnant dragons, who avoid giving birth at this time. But Dragon Mother was an exception; chased by enemies that day, she escaped yet disrupted her pregnancy, having to give birth prematurely, otherwise both the Dragon Cub and she would have died.
That day was the very midnight during the full moon Dragon Mother mentioned!
As she told the story, she sighed deeply.
Through her narrative, Tang Rao surprisingly felt empathetic for both Dragon Mother and the Dragon Cub.
Ever since Tang Xiaobai came into his life, Tang Rao couldn't help but feel soft-hearted upon witnessing anyone pitiful; it's a condition that needs remedy!
Since Xiao Long was born on the full moon midnight, he grew up frail and sickly, suffering endlessly, never having a good day; thus, the troubled Xiao Long developed a poor temper, and Dragon Mother tolerates as much as she could, indulging Xiao Long by giving him whatever she had.
"Xiao Long's current plight is caused by me, giving birth to him on the full moon midnight, making him catch cold poison that torments him. I really hope you can disperse his coldness."
It's easy to say, but much harder to do.
In Xiao Long's current state, besides soaking in exorbitantly crafted hot springs daily, there was no other method to alleviate his torment.
Tang Rao had to think of a plan; there's got to be a way.
There sure is.
"Roar."
As Tang Rao was pondering, Xiao Long rubbed against him, nudging Tang Rao far away.
This fellow's strength is enormous.
"If you can't think of another method, use the Divine Stone to save my son."
Dragon Mother mentioned the Divine Stone again, at least she knew how to use it to save Xiao Long.
"Let me think of some other way."
Tang Rao desired the Divine Stone as if it was life itself; calling it Tang Rao's life-saving talisman was no exaggeration.
"Hurry up, I'm giving you a little more time."
Dragon Mother couldn't give Tang Rao much time; if he thought of using this method to stall, he'd be gravely mistaken.
"Dragon Mother, can you tell me, if using the Divine Stone, how can we save Xiao Long's life?"
The role of the Divine Stone might inspire Tang Rao with ideas and insights.
"The Divine Stone itself is fire attribute; just melt it, integrate it with Xiao Long, and he can overcome the cold poison."
Is that so?
It seemed Dragon Mother targeted Tang Rao's Divine Stone from the start, thinking of no other method besides it to save Xiao Long's life.
The key is to expel the cold poison from Xiao Long?
Tang Rao closed his eyes, analyzing his arsenal of formulas; various detoxification and cold-dispersing formulas passed through his mind, yet the effect wasn't particularly noticeable.
There it is.
Though Tang Rao didn't find any effective detoxification and cold-disbursing formula, he thought of an alternative method.
"Dragon Mother, apart from the Divine Stone, could a rare flame work?"
Using a rare flame to dispel cold poison—Tang Rao hadn't tried this method, but it's surely better than choosing never to attempt any remedy.
"I'm not sure, Xiao Long's cold poison potency you know, do you think a mere rare flame could suffice?"
Uh, does it work, I need to try to find out.
But the word 'try' was something Dragon Mother didn't want appearing in Tang Rao's plan.
"You better be responsible for my son's life; if he encounters unforeseen consequences, besides you, I want your entire sect to accompany him to the grave."
Ha, quite a serious threat, brother.
Tang Rao kindly offered help yet faced Dragon Mother's threat, leaving him feeling wronged.
Whether a rare flame works, neither Tang Rao nor Dragon Mother could decide; only the rare flame could possibly give an answer.
Tang Rao managed to find that blue rare flame; unexpectedly, in a short time, it had grown a full circle larger than before.
"Did you eat Boss Pig's feed?"
During this time, he guaranteed that he didn't feed anything to the rare flame, yet couldn't fathom its remarkable growth without food.
