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

Chapter 975 What if it works? (2nd update)
If Rong Gu had successfully raised the monster in the jar, many things that followed might have had completely different outcomes.

"Although it is not yet certain what the difference is between the two, the creatures in this jar should also have been raised using the method of raising Gu."

Speaking of raising Gu, Long Ling immediately recalled what they had seen at the Gu God Temple before, and to be honest, it was really disgusting.

Without holding back, he immediately retorted: "These people are all sick in the head, and the methods they use are so disgusting and despicable!"

Suddenly, Long Ling's gaze fell upon Xuan Chu.

Xuan Chu felt a little uneasy under Long Ling's gaze, sensing that Long Ling had no good intentions.

"Where's Erdan? Did you bring him with you?"

Xuan Chu immediately became wary: "What do you want to do!"

This scene almost made Long Ling laugh in anger: "You need to understand, I was the one who found Erdan back then, even though Yun Ran gave Erdan to your Tiandao Village."

However, this body of mine is still the master of the Gu God Palace! Erdan's true identity is the Gu God raised by the Gu God Palace.

I need Erdan now, so it's only right that you bring Erdan out!

"Do you really think that just because Erdan was given to your Heavenly Path Village, he's truly your village's property?!"

Xuan Chu: ...

He had seen unreasonable people before, but he had never seen anyone as unreasonable as Long Ling.

However, Xuan Chu had also spent some time with Long Ling and knew that he was not the kind of person who spoke without reason; he probably had some idea in mind.

He only thought about it for a second before deciding to take Erdan out.

"for you!"

Long Ling looked at Erdan, who used to be round and shiny. Now, Erdan was not only smaller, but also looked a bit dusty.

His gaze immediately turned as sharp as a knife, landing directly on Xuan Chu.

"What can you do! You can't even raise perfectly good eggs properly; they've all lost their luster!"

Long Ling's attitude towards Er Dan is that she doesn't care much, but if Er Dan is obviously not as good as before, she will be unhappy.

Xuan Chu opened his mouth, but knowing he was in the wrong, he said nothing in the end and silently endured the dragon spirit's disdain.

The little paper figure was completely oblivious to Xuan Chu's embarrassment.

It flew to Long Ling's side and looked at him with curiosity: "Your Majesty, do you want Erdan to deal with the monster in this jar?"

Long Ling, who had previously been indignant that Erdan had lost weight and looked dull, nodded confidently.

"It is, after all, a Gu God, and it has absorbed the origin of the Heavenly Dao, making it extremely hard. The monster in this jar was also raised in the way of raising Gu."

All the Gu poisons in the world, when faced with the Gu God, naturally have to yield. What if it works?

Xuan Chu: ...

He now realized that Long Ling was truly hypocritical.

Erdan has lost weight, and his eggshell has lost its luster. When Longling scolds him, her voice is full of energy.

Those who don't know the situation might think that Long Ling cares a lot about Er Dan.

Now, even they can't do anything about the monster in that jar, but Long Ling is full of confidence.

Didn't you ever think about what would happen if Erdan couldn't defeat the monster in the jar?
But right now, Long Ling hadn't even considered this problem, and he weighed Erdan in his hand.

Then he smiled and threw Erdan towards the jar.

He was still saying, "Get out of here!!!"

Erdan: ... In its past life, it probably really had a grudge against the Dragon Spirit, which is why it gets tricked by the Dragon Spirit in every way in this life!

Its companion beast was killed by the Dragon Spirit. If it hadn't been tough enough, it probably would have been turned into fried eggs by the Dragon Spirit and eaten by Yun Ran.

Now it's gotten even worse, letting a baby egg fight a monster that's been raised for thousands of years. Is there any justice in this?
Unfortunately, no one present could hear Erdan's true feelings.

With a "click"!
The jar, which had previously remained unmarked no matter what it was touched, developed tiny cracks in its pattern when Erdan struck it.

A dangerous and violent black mist seeped out from the crack.

This aura terrified Mo Zhi so much that she immediately covered her head and, without looking back, burrowed into the jade pendant.

Once she's inside the jade pendant, she'll be safe; no one can reach in and mess with her.

Little paper doll: ……

Dragon Spirit: ...

Xuan Chu: ...

They knew Mo Zhi would be cowardly when in danger, but they never expected her to run away so fast.

If this were on a battlefield, he'd definitely be considered a deserter!
However, this is clearly not the time to criticize Mo Zhi.

The violent aura emanating from them made even those who were used to danger feel uneasy.

The faint scales on the dragon spirit's body were all revealed, making it look as if it were wearing armor.

The little paper figure was also surrounded by rings of lightning and sparks.

Xuan Chu also became fully alert, preparing for a fierce battle.

However, their preparations seemed unnecessary.

That aura, filled with danger and brutality, only appeared for a short while, demonstrating its presence before vanishing in a flash.

Long Ling and Xuan Chu exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Just then, the little paper figure spoke up: "Look!"

Hearing the little paper doll's voice, Long Ling and Xuan Chu's eyes fell upon a scene that left them speechless.

At this moment, Erdan was like a sponge, frantically absorbing the black mist emanating from the crack in the jar.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but the roars of the monsters in the jar that I heard before were full of anger, pain, and ominousness.

But now, that mixed sound, mingled with the voices of many living beings, seems to carry a hint of...fear?
Xuan Chu's emotions were somewhat complicated: "Could this be considered a lucky accident?"

Long Ling's expression shifted from initial shock to confusion, and finally to smugness: "How can this be considered a fluke? This is clearly because I, the Dragon King, had foresight!"

Erdan looked like a starving guy, devouring a table full of delicious food.

Long Ling suddenly felt that he could stand up again.

"This is the advantage of beings like me who have lived for thousands of years. You all should learn a lot from me in the future!"

Xuan Chu: ...

This scene was also fully visible to Yunran through the water curtain.

Yunran was also speechless, but what she felt more worried about was her heart.

Along the way, they encountered many troubles, but they seemed to be lucky and always managed to escape danger.

Yunran hadn't thought much about it before, but now she had a vague feeling that something had been arranged for her.
