My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 94, page 93: The New Mount – Heavenly Dragon

The shock I felt was indescribable; anyone who received such a huge fortune would be completely overwhelmed.

He is merely extraordinary; he has not yet reached the point of being able to see the world.

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Gu Yuan turned his gaze to the other elven relics.

However, because they were so ordinary, I couldn't see anything special about them even after looking at them for a long time.

Their gazes had no choice but to turn to Celia.

Celia sulked and crossed her arms.

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that? I've already taken them down and given them to you, what more do you want from me?"

"Is Miliald's life a life, but mine isn't? You want me to take risks—humph, I've seen through you humans."

I was extremely annoyed.

Gu Yuan sighed, "Why make things so absolute? Only pure-blooded elves can enter this altar. I can't let Miliald risk her life."

"You also know about my relationship with her, and with you—"

He shook his head, his meaning obvious. Celia, realizing she was in the wrong, could only snort again.

Despite being in the wrong, she refused to undergo any further examination.

If a few more extraordinary ones were to appear, she would surely vomit three liters of blood.

Gu Yuan looked at her and said, "Don't forget that you are now my prisoner, and I can punish you at any time."

"I know that after the last threat, ordinary words won't be able to sway you anymore."

"but-"

He slowly pulled out a modified, all-black phone from his person, opened the camera, and took a picture of her.

The image appears with a click.

Gu Yuan turned the screen towards Celia, where her unwilling face was clearly reflected.

"This photo."

Gu Yuan's voice was calm yet carried an undeniable threat: "What do you think would happen if I anonymously handed it to your disciple?"

Celia's pupils suddenly contracted.

Previous threats were merely verbal, but this time—it's a truly systemic and irreparable humiliation.

She stared intently at the small screen, as if she wanted to burn it through, but in the end, her shoulders slumped.

Once this naked and undeniable evidence is made public, she will never be able to hold her head high among the elves again.

Damn it, what kind of demonic artifact is this?

Humans are so despicable!

She reached out in humiliation, trying to grab the phone, but grasped only air, and could only turn her gaze to the relics.

I took a deep breath, as if I had used up all my strength.

"This is the last time. Don't threaten me with these things again."

"Otherwise, I would rather attack you until you repeatedly faint than let you get away with it."

She wouldn't even say the words "I'd rather die".

Gu Yuan smiled at his attitude of valuing his life.

"it is good."

He gave a perfunctory answer, stepped back, and gave Celia ample space to begin her observation and analysis.

When Celia saw that Gu Yuan had agreed, a complex expression appeared on her face, a mixture of humiliation and resentment.

She first looked at the egg-shaped stone, held it in her hand and weighed it, carefully sensing it, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"It's not a rock, it's an egg, a monster egg."

"I'm not sure exactly what kind of monster's egg it is."

"But if the stones above aren't fake, as far as I know, there's only one kind."

"Celestial Dragon Vein"

?

"Celestial Dragon?"

Gu Yuan repeated it.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Celia looked up.

"This is a huge problem. Isn't it as big as an island?"

"Flying in the sky your whole life, only landing when you die, why is the egg so small?"

Gu Yuan pressed, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

This egg is about the same size as an ostrich egg. Keep in mind that even a Red Mirror Dragon egg is as tall as a person.

Celia pouted: "What? You're talking about this? What's the comparison between the Red Mirror Dragon and the Celestial Pulse Dragon?"

"The former is just an ordinary dragon-type monster, while the latter is the largest known dragon in the world, which takes three thousand years to grow from infancy to adulthood."

"It's normal for the eggs to be small, because long-lived monsters mainly grow by absorbing magic power from the atmosphere, so they don't need a large initial size."

Even so, Gu Yuan was still somewhat dazed.

His desire to keep the Heavenly Vein Dragon as a pet vanished instantly.

Three thousand years from now, I'm afraid my ashes will have been scattered to the winds. Will I still be able to live to see that time?

Celia noticed the subtle expression on Gu Yuan's face and, unusually, smiled.

"Oh, so that's what you were planning."

"Why be discouraged? Even if you don't live to see it hatch and grow up, there's still Miliald."

"She will raise it for you."

This Celestial Dragon was likely a mobile base left by the ancient elves for their descendants, intended to establish new tribes and prevent the tribe from being destroyed again.

Since she's a junior, she has nothing to do with humans anymore, which makes Celie unusually happy.

However, at this moment, Milie Alde raised a slight brow and asked a practical question:

"This egg has been here for who knows how many years—at least a thousand years, counting from the end of the mythological era."

"After such a long time, can it still remain active?"

These words enlightened Gu Yuan.

Yes, time.

If this egg truly originated from the mythological era and has survived to this day, then it may be in a very special state.

"It doesn't necessarily have to wait three thousand years—"

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, and his mind instantly clicked.

"Since it grows by absorbing atmospheric magic, the embryo inside might already be fully developed, but has entered a dormant state due to insufficient environmental magic or other reasons?"

"Or perhaps, all it needs is a catalyst for incubation?"

He thought of the Red Mirror Dragon's rapid growth.

Although it is known that the Heavenly Vein Dragon cannot be extrapolated in this way, it at least proves that it is possible to influence the growth rate of monsters through external means.

Even if the growth period of three thousand years is shortened to several hundred years, it is by no means entirely impossible for superhumans whose strength is constantly improving.

"Thank you." Milie's words gave Gu Yuan a glimpse of new possibilities.

The island-like dragon will become a top-secret private territory in the future, and this prospect is enough to make him invest resources to try it out.

Come back to your senses.

Just as he reached out to take the dragon egg from Celie, Celie's fingers tightened slightly, unwilling to loosen.

Her muscles were tense, her head was down, and her expression was not visible, but her voice carried a faint tremor and a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Why—"

Celia couldn't believe it.

Is he really the protagonist of this era?

All the good luck seemed to have eyes, flocking to him all at once.

He even managed to steal the mounts that were theoretically reserved for the elves.

Countless thoughts surged endlessly, tangling like a knot in Celia's chest, making her feel suffocated.

She slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed on Gu Yuan, with only one thought in her mind.

That means this guy is definitely the bane of elves.

I no longer believe in fate.
