1632: Chapter 1442: Advancent Turmoil 1632: Chapter 1442: Advancent Turmoil “Little one, have you ever seen a skeleton get hemorrhoids?”
Su Ran’s face darkened.
This little mudfish could say the most random things—how did it even know about hemorrhoids?
He really needed to figure out who had been teaching it this stuff…
“Then why are you sighing so much?”
Hearing the little mudfish’s question, Su Ran felt touched enough to hug it tightly.
Finally!
It seed like it was getting to the point of the conversation!
“That’s because…”
“I know, your wife got stolen by soone!”
The little mudfish’s eyes lit up as it began circling Su Ran.
“Quick, tell , did I guess right?”
“…”
For so reason, Su Ran felt an uncontrollable urge to strangle the little mudfish.
But then he rembered it was a rare pet dragon—a once-in-a-century find—and softened his heart.
“Where did you even learn these phrases?
When you were just born, you used to be so pure-hearted.
Now, your mouth runs faster than a runaway train!”
“Learned it from you.”
The little mudfish gazed innocently at Su Ran, twisting its slim, elongated body and speaking with a playful tone.
“Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘You beco red by being near cinnabar and black by being near ink’?”
“…”
For the first ti, Su Ran felt like he had failed as a skeleton.
It seed that he really needed to discipline himself in the future—otherwise, he might corrupt his “child.”
“Little one, let tell you the truth.
When I obtained this Qi Blood Stone, I also got a Bloodline Azure Fruit.
I was planning on using it to help the little zombie advance, but…”
Before Su Ran could finish, the little mudfish cut him off.
“Is the Azure Fruit tasty?”
“Even if it were tasty, it’s not for you to eat.
Don’t even think about it.”
*Ding!* Player “Skeleton’s” pet Darknight Thunder Dragon loyalty -1.
The system notification suddenly popped up, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.
Damn it!
Gifting it the Qi Blood Stone didn’t earn a single loyalty point, yet not sharing the Azure Fruit actually caused his loyalty to drop?
The Dragon Clan was really impossible to please!
If it found out the Azure Fruit required magical blood as an ingredient, wouldn’t its loyalty drop into the negatives?
“Alright, alright, I’ve already prepared sothing even tastier for you.”
Su Ran quickly stopped the descent of Darknight Thunder Dragon’s loyalty and took out a drop of Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, carefully placing it in a transparent glass bottle before handing it over.
“What’s this?”
The little mudfish wrapped itself around the glass bottle, curiously biting off the stopper, then took a deep sniff.
Its face imdiately displayed a look of blissful satisfaction.
Without waiting for Su Ran’s explanation, it dove directly into the bottle and swallowed the drop of rich, pure Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid in one gulp.
*Ding!* Player “Skeleton’s” pet Darknight Thunder Dragon loyalty 5.
Ah, Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid really earned respect!
A single drop gained him 5 loyalty points—far more reliable than any gem or treasure!
“Little one, I need to talk to you about sothing.”
Su Ran felt this was the perfect mont to make his request.
The likelihood of rejection seed pretty low now.
“No one acts this nice for no reason—it ans they’re up to sothing or trying to steal from you.
Out with it, what do you want?”
The little mudfish licked the glass bottle with a look of lingering enjoynt, fully committed to “clean plate action” like a responsible eater.
“Could you stop being so sharp?
It doesn’t match your age at all—you’re way too much!”
Su Ran realized this little creature was far too mature—like it had been hit with a growth hormone.
Fooling it seed completely off the table, and he had no choice but to be honest.
“I need one drop of magical blood from you.
This Bloodline Azure Fruit only works when paired with your blood; that’s the only way it can activate and stimulate bloodline power.”
“No, I can’t.
I’m squeamish about blood.”
The little mudfish rejected him on the spot, shaking its tiny head like a rchant’s drum, refusing no matter what.
It tried to escape into the Illusion Demon Robe, but Su Ran grabbed it firmly.
“Don’t rush off!
Let finish!”
Having anticipated this reaction long ago, Su Ran quickly added, “I’m offering you one drop of pure Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid in exchange for one drop of magical blood.
How does that sound?”
“Not happening, not happening!
It hurts too much; don’t even think about it!”
The little mudfish’s eyes darted mischievously, and though it protested verbally, it had stopped struggling entirely, letting Su Ran hold onto it without moving.
“You sly little thing—now you’re playing mind gas?
Fine, let spoil you.
I’ll give you my very last drop of Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid too.
No more after this.”
Su Ran deliberately showed a reluctant expression, but, unfortunately, his mask concealed it, rendering the attempt entirely useless.
“Deal!”
The little mudfish couldn’t keep up the charade anymore and imdiately agreed.
Two drops of pure Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid—it was better than any miraculous tonic!
One interesting detail worth ntioning: the little mudfish produced its magical blood through…
well, its bowel movents.
It was quite the eye-opener for Su Ran.
With everything ready, all that remained was to activate the bloodline!
With excitent bubbling in his chest, Su Ran placed the little mudfish back in the pet space and summoned the little zombie.
“Uh-uh.”
Upon erging, the little zombie realized it was in its master’s domain.
It imdiately fused with a Bone Centipede and began bouncing up and down, eventually climbing onto Su Ran’s neck and dangling its tiny feet animatedly.
This unique affectionate gesture was exclusive to the little zombie.
If the Iron-blood Sand Puppet tried climbing onto his neck instead, its massive feet would be waving at eye level—not only disgusting but also liable to snap his spinal column…
“Bounce-bounce, get down here.
I have sothing good for you.”
Su Ran gently lifted the little zombie off him.
Once it hovered in midair, he carefully took out the Bloodline Azure Fruit.
Right in front of the little zombie, he ticulously combined the magical blood with the Azure Fruit and handed it over, using a tone of undeniable authority, “Eat this now.
It’ll awaken your bloodline power and significantly enhance your strength.”
“Hmm?”
The little zombie leaned in to look at the now-black Azure Fruit but didn’t seem interested at all.
It scornfully glanced at Su Ran, bouncing around in the air instead, clearly not taking the Azure Fruit seriously.
“What the hell is happening?”
Su Ran couldn’t believe it.
The story wasn’t following the expected path at all.
A process he thought would be straightforward—the little zombie’s advancent—had completely derailed.
Not only did it refuse to cooperate, but it didn’t even bother looking at the fruit, let alone eating it.
It was clear that forcing the little zombie to eat the Azure Fruit to advance wasn’t an option.
This left Su Ran in an awkward position.
The Bloodline Azure Fruit had been contaminated with magical blood and couldn’t be stored for long.
None of his pets were compatible with it—was this fruit dood to go to waste?
He couldn’t just catch so random trash pet to eat it, right?
Su Ran sat there sulking, his mood hitting rock bottom as he stared at the Azure Fruit in his hand, bereft of solutions.
A perfectly good fruit had essentially been ruined by his own hands—if word of this got out to other players, they’d surely chastise him for his wasteful behavior!
Actually, Wan’er’s Firebird would be a perfect fit for this…
but after all the trouble he went through to distance himself from Wan’er, gifting her this would just stir up trouble again.
No way—he’d rather let the Azure Fruit rot than give it to Wan’er!
If worst ca to worst, he’d eat it himself!
Even just tasting it seed better than letting the fruit go to waste entirely.
Wait.
Just as Su Ran brought the Azure Fruit to his mouth, a thought flashed through his mind, freezing him in place.
His expression quickly shifted to one of surprise and excitent as he hurriedly summoned the Dark Bone Eagle.
