The efficiency of the alchemy creatures was quite high, and soon many vine plants were brought to Chen Rui.
Perhaps the side effect of the transformation, Lalaria completely lost the high spirits she had when she was âpicking up girlsâ. She looked weak as she twitched her nose casually in front of a lot of plants, âThese are not it.â
âSir Richard, what plant are you looking for?â Little Anderlu asked curiously.
For Karru, the key words Chen Rui had in his mind were only âgiving good person cardâ and âpoor sissy who was bullied by Zola since childhoodâ, but Little Anderlu was different. The little shota gave Chen Rui a pretty good impression.
At the beginning, Little Anderlu came to beg Chen Rui for Samuelâs affairs. Chen Rui rushed to the Dragon Bright Empire in time upon getting the news of Samuelâs crisis to rescue the loyal subordinate. Later, Little Anderlu escaped from the Dragon Valley for Samuel and assisted Samuel to defeat the dragon knight Trinis, who was trying to kill him, in a duel at the risk of being seriously injured.
It could be said that Little Anderlu was Samuelâs most loyal brother. Even when Samuel went to the Demon Realm, he would often miss his fellow giant dragon who was like a brother.
âThunder heart vine.â Chen Rui didnât hide it. âIt is very important to me. It is related to the life of 1 of my wives.â
âThunder heart vine⦠By the way, Karru, didnât you find some thunder heart vine under the cliff last time?â Little Anderluâs words lifted Chen Ruiâs spirit, and he looked at Karru.
Karru already revered Zola, and he was harassed by Lalaria after being misunderstood as a girl before, so he was on the edge and didnât hear what his brother said at all. Little Anderlu walked over and said a few words to Karru. He immediately shivered, stood up quickly, and bowed, âLittle Anderlu, you stay here to talk to Sir Richard. Iâll pluck it now.â
Hearing the whereabouts of thunder heart vine, Chen Rui finally felt relieved. He said to Little Anderlu, âLittle Anderlu, we havenât seen each other for a few years. Is the Dragon Valley still the same? How is Royal Majesty Pagris⦠and the great elder couple?â
âRoyal Majesty Pagris succeeded in advancement not long ago, and the Dragon Valley also held a 3-day carnival. Madam Meria and Sir Span are both doing very well. Especially Madam Meria, she is highly valued by the Royal Majesty Dragon Emperor. Now the magic game, magic phone, and other important affairs are in charge by Madam Meria.â With that said, Little Anderlu bowed to Chen Rui again, âSpeaking of the Dragon Valley, I asked sir to save my companion Samuel last time. Although I donât know what method sir used, I know that Samuel finally escaped from danger afterward. It should be all thanks to sir. Hereby I would like to express my sincere thanks to sir.â
âLittle Anderlu, you are very nice.â Chen Rui glanced at Anderlu approvingly, âI think I should tell you something, but I hope you can keep it secret. In fact, we also met in the Dragon Bright Empire after that. Oh, Samuel was there too⦠Right, Stanwell and Gueroas as wellâ
Little Anderlu showed a surprised expression. He suddenly remembered something, and he was taken aback, âYou mean that dragon knight duel with Bracklin⦠Right, Elder Stanwell seemed to be very weird that time. He actually scolded Bracklin. Ah, could it be that the third prince of the Dragon Bright Empire who spoke to Elder Stanwellâ¦â
âYouâre smart, Little Anderlu.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen I should callâ¦â
Chen Rui smiled lightly, âJust call me âRichardâ. Prince âArthurâ should have been âdeadâ during the Holy Childâs canonization ritual.â
âUnderstood, sir.â
Little Anderlu had also heard about the change of the Holy Childâs canonization ritual promoted by the Holy Church, but judging from Chen Ruiâs appearance here and his ability to defeat Stanwell in the Dragon Valley, the facts were definitely not what the Church claimed. The hidden secrets should be pretty astonishing.
Little Anderlu didnât ask any further as he bowed again, âThank you very much sir for your trust. I just want to ask a question, where is Samuel now? There is a special spiritual connection between him and I. I can feel that he should be safe and sound.â
âHe is in a very far away place with his 2 wives, Joanna and Ina, and he misses you as a friend too.â
Little Anderluâs eyes lit up, âI wonder if I can meet him?â
âThis is actually a question that requires you to think carefully becauseâ¦â Just as Chen Rui was talking, he suddenly looked at the door. Karru had returned with a few vines in his hand.
Chen Rui didnât continue chatting with Little Anderlu. His eyes were fixed on those vines, âLalaria?â
Lalaria responded listlessly, stepped forward, smelled it, and suddenly grabbed Karruâs arm angrily. How could Karru bear Lalariaâs strength? He suddenly squatted down in pain.
Just when Chen Rui thought there was something wrong with thunder heart vine, Loli Lala yelled in rage, âYouâre a grown up man, yet you actually wear perfume for girls!â
Karru was already in so much pain that he couldnât speak, so Little Anderlu quickly explained, âThis is a menâs cologne, which is used by many noble families in the human worldâ¦â
Chen Rui was speechless for a while. It has nothing to do with perfume, right? This is just the typical being ashamed into anger.
âLalaria!â Chen Rui hastily stopped the flat-chested loli who was about to go berserk, âAre these the thunder heart vines that Athena needs?â
âYesâ¦â Lalaria replied, then she said harshly to Karru, âIf I see you use these disgusting things next time, I will throw you into the volcano to bath you!â
The poor sissy could only shake his head with tears in his eyes as he nodded with all his strength. When Chen Rui heard that it was a thunder heart vine, he quickly transplanted it into the galaxy garden. At the same time, he ordered all alchemy creatures to stop searching, and he activated the power of the Crown of Thorns to heal Karruâs arm.
âThank you very much, Karru.â
âSir, you are being polite. I know that sir is a good person.â The sissy had a good impression of Chen Rui. The main reason was that Chen Rui married a certain lady that the sissy feared most, which saved the sissy from suffering.
Having found the thunder heart vine so quickly, Chen Rui was naturally in a good mood. Give all the good man cards you want.
Karruâs injury was actually nothing serious, but from his terrified expression, it could be seen that the psychological intimidation and trauma far outweighed the physical traumaâProbably there was another name on sissyâs blacklist now besides Zola.
âYou 2 are the representatives of the Dragon Valley in Storm Island now? Just right, Iâm going to Dragon Valley now.â
Karru hesitated for a moment and asked, âSir, can I ask your purpose for going to the Dragon Valley? Iâm sorry, I have the responsibility to inform the personnel and purpose on my side. Then, the other side can agree to start the 2-way teleportation.â
âBrother,â Anderlu bumped Karru lightly, âDid you forget? Madam Zola is now an elder, so there is no need forâ¦â
Upon hearing the name of the fairy dragon, the sissy couldnât help shivering. He finally came to her senses, not daring to look in the direction of a certain elder as he said quickly, âIâm sorry, Zo⦠Zoâ¦â
When Chen Rui heard that the sissyâs tongue was tied up, he shook his head secretly. Although Darling Zola sometimes likes fake daze and is a bit blackhearted, in general, she is quite cute. How could she leave such a terrifying trauma in Karruâs heart?
âActually, I want to visit Queen Sophia to see if she has golden dragon saliva flower.â
âGolden dragon saliva flower!â Little Anderlu exclaimed.
Chen Rui quickly asked, âYou know?â
Little Anderlu nodded and said with some embarrassment, âAunt Sophia does have one. She has always regarded it as a treasure. I remember when I was young, a few friends and I tried to steal it more than once, but it triggered the protection inscription and I was trapped inside for a while. After my father picked me up, he beat me up, then Aunt Sophia kindly gave me a silver dragon saliva flower.â
Chen Rui heard from Lalaria about the benefits of dragon saliva flowers to young dragons. He was overjoyed to hear Little Anderluâs affirmative answer, âGreat, letâs go to the Dragon Valley now!â
After receiving the news from Karru and Anderlu that the Elder Zola had returned, the Dragon Valleyâs 2-way teleportation array was soon opened.
After Chen Rui took Zola and the 2 ladies through the teleportation portal, the first thing he saw was his Sir Father-in-law and Madam Mother-in-law. After hearing the news of their daughterâs return, Meria and Span immediately appeared in front of the teleportation portal.
âBaby!â Meria excitedly looked at her daughter whom she hadnât seen for several years, and Zola threw herself into her motherâs arms. No matter whether she was a quasi-goddess or the peak stage of the Pseudo-God, she was her daughter after all.
Chen Rui noticed that the strength of Meria and Span had reached the intermediate stage of the Demi-God. Span could only be regarded as a recovery of strength while Meria was only one step away from breaking through when he left last time. Of course, Chen Ruiâs potions also played an important role.
The old father-in-law Elf King Span came over and nodded to Chen Rui, âWelcome back.â
This family-like tone made Chen Rui feel warm, âEn, Uncle Span, let me introduce you. This is Alice, and this is Lalaria. They are myâ¦er, sisters.â
Before the Old Father-in-law Elf King could speak, Meria showed a vigilant expression, âSisters?â
âAlthough I owe you a lot of money, we havenât fallen to the point of selling ourselves as your sister. Besides, my age, Hmph Hmphâ¦â Lalaria looked at Meria carelessly, âWe are Zolaâs⦠um, good friend. Since you are Zolaâs mommy, you are my aunty as well. Uhm⦠Zolaâs daddy, donât worry, my goal is your daughter, so your wife is safe for now.â
The last sentence was obviously addressed to Span. The Old Father-in-law Elf King obviously didnât keep up with such a strange jumping thinking rhythm, so he asked back in surprise, âWhat?â
âIâm not his sisterâ¦â Alice muttered in a dissatisfied tone. She came to Meria and bowed respectfully, âAunt Meria, hello. Iâm Zola⦠Sisterâs younger sister, Alice.â
(Hmph Hmph, Zola and I will be sisters sooner or later!)
Meria looked at Alice, and then at Chen Rui. The scrutiny made Chen Rui a little scared, but Aliceâs lovely appearance still made Meria quite like her, âLast time it was Yini, this time it was Alice. Both of them are likable, but there is a guy who is becoming more and more unlikeable⦠Hey, what happened to your hand?â
Chen Rui looked at the left hand that hadnât yet fully healed, and he said with a shake, âItâs fine. Itâs almost finished growing. It wonât be long before it will be as good as before.â
As soon as Chen Ruiâs hand was mentioned, Zolaâs eyes turned red, âThis is when he risked his life to save me last timeâ¦â
Meriaâs eyes suddenly softened, and the original bit of blame turned into appreciation and relief. Nonetheless, she still spoke with the tone of reproach, âYoung man, donât be too aggressiveâ¦â
A son-in-law who is able to protect my daughter with his life. I can really feel relieved to entrust my daughter to him.
Hearing the concern in Meriaâs tone, Chen Rui smiled while the Old Father-in-law Elf King patted his shoulder hard, âItâs fine since itâs okay now.â
At this time, another acquaintance came from the opposite; it was Gueroas.
Seeing Chen Rui and Zola, Gueroas nodded and spoke up, âRoyal Majesty Pagris invites Great Elder Meria, Elder Zola and 3 guests to the Holy Spirit Summit.â
