The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 734 Concerning His Dignity (2nd Update)
Long Ling wandered around for a while before finally spotting Gu Yuan.

He hurried over to greet him, his gaze sweeping over Gu Yuan several times, like a scanner.

Although Long Ling's gaze wasn't particularly aggressive, it still made Gu Yuan feel uneasy.

She quickly turned to the side, protecting her body, and looked at him warily: "What do you want to do?!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

If looks could kill, he would have been stabbed to death by Gu Yuan hundreds of times over by now.

"Didn't you say you brought a magical artifact that can detect dragon veins? Let me see it!"

If it weren't for this, he would have eaten too much and be so anxiously waiting for Gu Yuan. Their relationship isn't that close yet!
Now it was Gu Yuan's turn to be speechless. He should have said he wanted the magic weapon earlier, otherwise he would have thought the dragon spirit wanted to swallow him whole.

It's not unheard of for a demonic dragon to eat people.

Although Long Ling seems normal now, who knows if he might suddenly have a fit and eat people one day?

"What kind of look is that? I am the proper Dragon King, don't look at me with such narrow-minded eyes!"

As she spoke, she began to snatch Gu Yuan's backpack. Long Ling felt that the magical artifact must be inside the backpack.

What could Gu Yuan do? He really couldn't beat Long Ling now, and could only watch helplessly as Long Ling snatched his bag.

In a few swift movements, Long Ling released a 'lump of iron' larger than his head, estimated to weigh at least fifty or sixty pounds.

It's only because of Gu Yuan. If it were anyone else, climbing a mountain while carrying such a heavy load, they would be exhausted.

Having gotten what she wanted, Long Ling immediately tossed the half-empty backpack back to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan watched as Long Ling excitedly went to play with the magical artifacts, while he himself headed towards where Yun Ran was resting.

Yunran was really sleepy at this moment. Climbing at night was equivalent to staying up all night. After eating breakfast, wasn't this the best time to sleep?

Ginseng Fruit stood beside Yunran, holding an umbrella to protect her from the strong ultraviolet rays of the mountaintop sun and prevent her from getting sunburned.

Xuan Chu and Wan Qiyu sat on the ground not far away, one in front of the other.

Those unaware of the situation might think they were simply sitting and resting, since everyone around them was exhausted from their night hike and was sitting or lying down to rest wherever they wanted.

But upon closer inspection, one can see that Xuan Chu and Wan Qiyu's positions cleverly shielded Yun Ran in the middle.

Anyone who tries to ambush Yun Ran will be dealt with immediately by Xuan Chu or Wan Qiyu.

Hearing footsteps, Xuan Chu looked up and saw Gu Yuan. The two nodded to each other as a greeting.

Gu Yuan successfully passed Xuan Chu and then approached Yun Ran's floor mat.

Gu Yuan, whose stomach hadn't felt anything before, started to protest when he saw the food on Yun Ran's floor mat.

Someone approached, and Yunran, who was half asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.

"They arrived quite quickly."

Gu Yuan sat down without any hesitation and picked up the small cake next to him to eat.

After eating several small cakes, Gu Yuan finally felt a little better in his stomach.

"The boss got really angry, how could I not hurry? Look at my eyes, the bloodshot veins are making my eyes bleed."

Gu Yuan did look rather disheveled at the moment. Not only was his beard unkempt, but his hair was also a mess, and his eyes showed great fatigue.

You know, Gu Yuan usually pays a lot of attention to his personal image. For him to show up like this, it's clear he's incredibly busy. He doesn't even have time to groom himself. Tsk tsk tsk, that's pretty pitiful. Luckily, she was dismissed from the Special Administration Bureau back then, hehe~
"Your spot is good. I'm going to take a nap."

As soon as Gu Yuan finished speaking, his snoring began.

Yunran: ...

This instant sleep is the envy of so many insomniacs.

Wan Qiyu, who was not far away, was somewhat surprised to see Gu Yuan sleeping so peacefully.

He had spent some time with Director Gu of the Special Administration Bureau before, and he knew very well how wary this man was.

Not to mention sleeping anywhere, even if he's seriously injured, if someone gets close to him, he can immediately jump up and fight them for another three hundred rounds.

The scene before him made Wan Qiyu even clearer that Director Gu's trust in Yun Ran had reached an exaggerated level.

He couldn't do that. Even though Yun Ran was his sworn sister, Wan Qiyu could never sleep soundly next to her.

Wan Qiyu looked at Gu Yuan, then at Yun Ran, and when he looked at Gu Yuan again, he felt inexplicably annoyed.

On the other side, Long Ling held the magical artifact and began to fiddle with it without any instruction.

But after a while, the magical artifact showed no reaction whatsoever, which made Long Ling somewhat doubtful. Was this magical artifact, which the Special Administration Bureau regarded as a treasure, really that good?

If Gu Yuan hadn't carried this thing up himself, Long Ling would have kicked it off the mountaintop.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rippled from the vicinity of the magical artifact.

Long Ling stared at the magical artifact in disbelief, then knelt down and brought her ear close to the artifact.

But that voice that seemed somewhat familiar to him never rang out again.

Long Ling knew very well that he hadn't misheard; he had indeed heard a very faint dragon's roar.

"Could this magical artifact be able to capture the roar of a dragon?"

Long Ling waited for a while longer, but there was still no sound, as if everything that had happened before was just his imagination.

While Long Ling was scratching her head in confusion, Xuan Chu's gaze took in everyone's thoughts.

He knew that Long Ling had orchestrated their trip to Wuhuang Mountain.

So, with no clues to be found, Long Ling volunteered to be the vanguard, acting so enthusiastically that she was almost unlike her usual self.

At this moment, Long Ling clearly looked like he had discovered something.

Xuan Chu stood up and walked towards the direction of the dragon spirit.

"What are you doing!"

Long Ling's eyes lit up immediately when she saw Xuan Chu.

He had previously made a bold statement to Yun Ran, saying that he was certain he could find the remaining four dragon veins. This was a matter of his dignity, which was why he was so eagerly waiting for Gu Yuan.

However, he seemed to be stuck. He felt that he would lose face if he went to find Yun Ran.

But now things are better. Xuan Chu came over, and he even took the initiative to come over, so it doesn't count as him asking for help anymore, and he's saved face.

"I just heard a dragon's roar, but I only heard one sound..."

Xuan Chu glanced at the magical artifact on the ground with some surprise. He hadn't expected that the Special Administration Bureau would actually have a treasure that could detect dragon veins!
