Durin's Diary

Chapter 1038 Frost-Bearing Grass

After consuming Dulin's blood, Roberts was placed in the basement for a brief period of death-like sleep.

Dulin instructed Klein to keep an eye on him. Although he had confidence in his own blood, Dulin had no confidence in Roberts. If the old man suddenly went mad, Dulin would be the one to lose face.

With this matter settled, Du Lin planned to take a few girls back to Chang Tang the next day—after all, Du Lin had personally gone to Chang Tang to receive the rewards for the four islands.

Having heard that Dulin was going to have territory in Changtang and was even planning to bring some clans there to develop, old Enrique, being a bachelor, said that his family was willing to take people to the East to join Dulin.

Dulin said it was no problem, but Old Enrique shouldn't come along. It wasn't that Dulin didn't want to do something like bringing the current elders of the Circle of Truth together, but he was afraid that if he did, one of the elders would cry and complain to the Twin Mother Goddesses.

Having accepted Dulin's choice, Old Ish finally decided to go with Dulin to broaden his horizons—he also wanted to see the scenery of Changtang.

Therefore, he ran the Circle of Truth in the middle of the night and asked for leave to go.

Dulin rested for a night, and the next morning he saw Roberts wake up. The old man seemed to have washed away all his makeup overnight; his body was no longer hunched, his sharp teeth were gone, and even his dark circles were gone.

“I had forgotten how a person lives. Thank you, Mr. Dulin, you have made me feel it again.” He extended his hand and shook hands with Dulin.

"Go with Klein to the Nest of Eternal Flame, and while you're at it, get your identification from the Grand Cathedral. That way, you won't have to worry about encountering Cathedral personnel in the future." Dulin instructed Klein on this matter, and then led the returning Old Ish into the portal.

………………

Upon returning to the Candle Dragon Pavilion, Dulin was greeted by the old man, who chuckled upon seeing Ish beside Dulin: "Little brother!!"

"Brother!"

The two old men hugged each other and laughed heartily. Then the little old man was no longer sad. He had thought that Dulin would not be back for a long time, but he did not expect him to return so quickly and bring old Ixu back with him.

So he said he wanted to do his duty as a host and took old Ishtar away.

"They didn't go drinking, did they?" Anta, who came over after hearing the commotion, said somewhat uneasily. "I heard they got drunk and beat someone up."

"You might as well just point your finger at me and yell at me," Lina said with a bitter face.

It seems she hasn't forgotten the time her father was double-teamed by the old man and Yan Zhenqing.

The girls laughed when they heard this.

Eleven took Plato to the refuge in the capital—he needed to examine Plato thoroughly to see how much underlying logic had been added to him.

Meanwhile, Du Lin went to the inner palace first and paid his respects to the Empress with Xiang Shu.

The Empress said that the ceremony for bestowing honors upon Dulin would be held soon, and since Dulin had already had his clothes made, there was no need to rush.

But when she congratulated Dulin's wives on their pregnancies, her true intentions became clear.

When they came out, Dulin looked at Xiangshu and said, "Didn't you say that?"

"How can I put it? It's only been a short time. I feel a little embarrassed. It's too fast." The little girl covered her face with her hands at the end: "I think even a sow can't be as fast as me."

Dulin couldn't help but laugh.

Then the soft flesh in her waist was hit by a fragrant and elegant level nine divine spell—Death Pinch.

Just then, Little Seven happened to pass by and saw that it was Du Lin and Xiang Shu. He ran over with a smile and said, "What's going on? Mr. Du Lin, didn't you go back to Xilu?"

"Things over there are settled, so I'm back to receive my reward. His Majesty and the Empress bestowed this land, and I have to make sure my children get their hands on it with a smile." Du Lin chuckled as he tossed the young man a bag of fruit, which he immediately caught with profuse thanks. "By the way, Mr. Du Lin, do you have dinner plans for tonight? If not, I have a table set up here. You can come by yourself, or bring a few more mouths—it's no problem." After placing the fruit into the spatial pouch at his waist, the young man looked at Du Lin curiously.

“Alright, you said it yourself.” Dulin nodded, then looked at Xiangshu: “Are you free tonight?”

"It's nothing. My sisters accepted my cousin's invitation to visit her home today. My cousin also specifically asked to meet Tanya."

“That only seems to be Lina. Anyway, her mouth is used for eating everywhere.” Dulin nodded.

Xiang Shu laughed and covered her mouth.

………………

Back at the Candle Dragon Pavilion, Dulin asked Anta to confirm the girls' plans for the evening. Dulin then asked Lina, and just as Dulin had expected, the little female dragon unhesitatingly chose to go eat with him.

In her words, one shouldn't eat at a girl's house in Changtang, because the food there is too little and not satisfying.

On the contrary, on the several times she went with Dulin, she ate until she was stuffed.

Anta had no choice but to let Lina follow Dulin—but it was for the best, because if Lina got too drunk, only Dulin could handle her.

"Ah, when did you learn to drink?" Dulin asked Lina curiously.

"Last time, they said that fruit wine was really delicious, so I drank a bit too much." Lina was a little embarrassed when the topic came up.

“Last time you drank three whole jars of their wine!” Anta said, rubbing her forehead.

Dulin sighed helplessly. He reached out and gently patted Lina's stomach: "You brat, how can you eat and drink so much... Wait a minute, why does your stomach feel a little hard?"

"Huh?" Anta asked in confusion, then walked over and gently pressed her hand on Lina's abdomen. "It does seem like there is a lump."

All the girls present came, and except for those who were less strong, Tanya, Melinda, Alyssa, and Yara all found lumps in the lower abdomen.

"Could it be a terminal illness?" Lina, that silly girl, looked at Dulin, tears streaming down her face.

Dulin patted her head reassuringly: "Don't worry, when I become anonymous, I'll take you with me first."

That's fucking ridiculous, it's a real hellish joke.

The girls also looked solemn.

A short while later, the physician's wife from the Candle Dragon Pavilion arrived, carrying a portable X-ray machine. She placed it on Lina's stomach, and an egg appeared directly on the screen.

"These are dragon eggs from the Western Continent. The young lady is naive and doesn't know any better, so please don't follow along and make a fool of yourselves." The physician's wife smiled as she put away the instruments and left.

"You scared me, but it's alright now." Anta chuckled and patted Lina's big tail. "Remember, you're not allowed to drink alcohol anymore."

As she said this, she looked at Dulin: "If she dares to touch alcohol tonight, you'd better give her a good beating."

"do not worry."

Dulin thought the dragon egg shouldn't have to worry about any trace radiation, since its mother could turn into a dragon and flutter wildly in the sky like a giant moth.
