Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

To her, the old rogue really felt like Doraemon. Whenever she encountered trouble, she would go to him first, and he would casually pull out a Anywhere Door or a Bamboo Copter, and the problem didn't seem to be too big.

Fan Luokui shook her head, rejecting Ye Yuchan's plan: "No one knows when the teacher will return... He has always been unpredictable, appearing and disappearing like a dragon, and is unstable."

No one could refute this, and Gu Xingzhuo even nodded seriously: "In that case, we can only think of a way to weaken the power of the Demon Dynasty. Junior Sister Luo Kui, are you planning to join us?"

“Of course.” Fan Luokui nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “There are still a few days until the Jingli Abyss agreement. I am more than willing to use this time to eliminate some of the cancers in the Far East Snow Plains.”

"Besides, I can spend more time with my senior brother."

—That last sentence seems to have a hint of showing off their relationship.

Ye Yuchan glanced at Fan Luokui, who was smiling, and Jiang Shaoguang, who had a serious expression. How far had the relationship between these two progressed during this time?

Could it be that they've already had physical intimacy?

No, no, no, come to think of it, didn't these two sleep in the same bed before? It seems they even had their wedding night together.

So maybe some of those thirty-six children were actually themselves...

Thinking of this, Ye Yuchan dared not continue to think about it.

So exciting.

"Speaking of which, something suddenly came to mind."

Gu Xingzhuo suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the other three.

Before anyone knew it, the white-haired youth, whose face remained deathly pale, was already sitting upright at the stone table, leaning against the willow tree beside him. He asked calmly, "If we really are going to eradicate the evil cultivators of that demonic dynasty, how should we deal with the Dragon Cough?"

This statement came out.

Then everyone realized that this seemed to be a big problem.

For demonic cultivators, the Dragon Cough virus seems to be a highly nourishing tonic; otherwise, the Demon Dynasty wouldn't have gone to such lengths to come to this far-eastern snowy plain. But as Hu Yingluan said, this Dragon Cough virus is extremely poisonous to ordinary cultivators. Even a little bit of it will plunge them into madness and chaos, turning them into mindless lunatics.

If we really want to expel the Demon Dynasty, we must go to the deepest part of the Dragon Cough Virus. At that time, how will we deal with this disease that drives people crazy?

It's impossible to just rush in blindly and then go berserk while slaughtering all those demonic cultivators, right?

"That can suppress that dragon's cough disease..."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ye Yuchan saw several children laughing and playing in her field of vision, running from the backyard to the front yard. It was just a game of chasing each other, but it made these little kids laugh from ear to ear.

Staring at the children whose faces were beaming with warm smiles, Ye Yuchan couldn't help but recall the thought that had popped into her head earlier—that perhaps some of these children were actually Fan Luokui and Jiang Shaoguang's biological children...

What if I have a child with that old rogue someday...?

No, no, that's not right.

Now is not the time to think about these kinds of questions!

Ye Yuchan patted her flushed face, panting heavily, pulling her thoughts back from the distant future.

She had only just recovered when, as if suddenly remembering something, she suddenly realized something.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

"Wait, that's not right... If Dragon Cough is the culprit behind all that chaos..."

Ye Yuchan's face showed a look of sudden realization, as if the words "a flash of inspiration" were written all over her face.

"The only thing that can suppress Dragon's Cough is that thing!"

"That thing?"

The other three looked at each other, completely bewildered as to what Ye Yuchan had come up with in a flash of inspiration.

Only our silly girl revealed a sinister smile.

Because she suddenly had a bold idea.

……

……

at the same time.

The colossal creature, which had been lying peacefully in the black abyss, suddenly opened its majestic and satisfied golden dragon eyes, a few traces of horror slowly flowing from its depths.

Why does it feel like it's being watched?

The ancient being shrank back, instinctively thinking it must be an illusion, and closed his eyes again, falling into a deep sleep.

(It's a hint! It's a hint!)

22. Troublesome people, troublesome things.

Well known.

The root of Dragon Cough is the remains of the primordial dragon hidden beneath the snowfields of the Far East. In the past, the primordial ancestor took out one of his own bones and made it evolve on its own, but unexpectedly, this bone gave rise to a dragon body, and even became crazy and chaotic due to its incomplete structure.

The stench emanating from the corpse was the Dragon Cough virus, and the only thing in the world capable of stopping its spread was—

There is only one thing.

"Is this your reason for trying to strip me of my scales???"

Inside the Blackwater Abyss.

On a large, deep pool, on a circular platform, a huge dragon's head hangs over the edge of the platform, while the rest of its body is submerged in the endless, dark abyss, with only a small part of its complete dragon wings visible.

Yes.

When Ye Yuchan heard that the Dragon Cough virus was the source of the chaos and madness, the first thing she thought of was this Black Water Abyss.

The old rogue once said that the Blackwater Abyss was a pool of water formed from the Black Abyss Emperor Ice, which was the essence of the twenty-one extremes. If you really want to calculate it, it is a precious treasure of the same level as the ash that makes up her body.

The black water within the Blackwater Abyss can effectively suppress the chaos and madness—while it cannot completely cure it, it does have a certain restraining effect.

The Black Dragon King Jueying was currently suffering from dragon cough, which was why he had been lying in the black pool.

—Of course, according to the old rogue, without the Black Abyss Emperor Ice, Old Black's current state probably won't last long.

So at first, Ye Yuchan felt a little guilty...

It's really not a very moral thing to strip someone who is seriously ill.

Jueying glanced at Ye Yuchan, who was scratching her face and laughing and crying at the same time, and snorted coldly from her nose: "You two, master and disciple, are really more and more of a liar than each other. Now why are you coming to me, this old dragon, for scales again?"

"Actually, it's fine without the scales."

Ye Yuchan chuckled: "To be honest, I also think it's quite shameless to peel off your scales, but I'm not sure how many things in this world can hold black water. This stuff can't be put into just any bag, right?"

"That's natural."

Speaking of the black water within the Blackwater Abyss, a proud gleam appeared in Jueying's eyes: "This black water is formed from the Black Abyss Emperor Ice; how could those mortals possibly touch it?"

"Apart from certain unique divine weapons that are immune to the black water, most so-called spiritual weapons will shatter and disintegrate immediately if they come into contact with even a drop of black water."

Ye Yuchan helplessly spread her hands, "So we can only ask you, sir, to give us some scales..."

Jueying immediately twitched the corners of his mouth, and dark, gloomy clouds covered the dragon's head.

The more he looked at Ye Yuchan, the more he felt that she was a carbon copy of the old rogue.

Is it true that like teacher, like student?

But the other three people standing next to Ye Yuchan all looked quite respectable. Why is it that Ye Yuchan is the only one who looks so much like that old rogue?

Moreover, when Jueying looked at Ye Yuchan's face, he couldn't help but shudder when he thought of a certain beauty named Ye Xuanqiu who also had a similar face. His expression towards Ye Yuchan became somewhat strange.

"What do you want this black water for?" Jueying asked the most crucial question.

Fan Luokui answered on Ye Yuchan's behalf, gripping the hilt of her sword and saying coldly, "This black water, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the key to suppressing the Dragon Cough Disease. The fact that the Demon Dynasty is currently entrenched here is not good news for the Northern Ice Palace. They are very likely taking advantage of this chaos to expand their borders and attempt to annex the Northern Ice Palace."

"The Demon Dynasty? Dragon Cough?"

Jueying listened in a daze, seemingly having little concept of these things.

Gu Xingzhuo could not possibly fail to see this. He adjusted his glasses and then explained the ins and outs of the series of events to Jueying.

When Jueying heard that the root of the dragon cough disease was the ancestral Yuanlong, a clear light suddenly flashed in its eyes.

"I see. So you call that madness Dragon Cough Disease."

After Jueying finished speaking, he remained silent for a few seconds.

After that, it seemed to have made up its mind and nodded slightly at the dragon's head.

"Alright, then you may lend me my scales."

"real?!"

Ye Yuchan's beautiful eyes flashed, and she looked at Jueying with great surprise.

In fact, she originally intended to discuss the matter further with this ancient powerful figure, since this was no small matter for the Black Dragon King Jueying, who had ruled the Blackwater Abyss for countless years.

But I didn't expect this big shot to agree so quickly!

Could it be because of his own old rogue?

“I, Old Dragon, always keep my word.” Jueying chuckled twice, staring meaningfully at Ye Yuchan, and said, “They’re just a few scales. They’ll grow back in a few years. Although they’re a treasure to you human cultivators, they’re worthless to me.”

“Old Dragon, I have been soaking in this Blackwater Abyss for a long time. Most of my dragon scales have been imbued with the spirit of the Blackwater. You only need to take my dragon scales and forge them into armor, and you will be able to freely enter and leave the area where the Dragon Cough Virus is spreading.”

"only--"

Black Dragon King Jueying paused abruptly, his tone turning stern: "Blackwater's abilities are limited. If you discover any signs of mental instability, withdraw immediately. Blackwater can protect you for a while, but it cannot perfectly contain the spread of the Dragon Cough virus. After all, it's a mess left by our ancestors' remains, and even Blackwater may not be able to hold out for long."

Done.

Jueying was a decisive person and didn't intend to drag things out with Ye Yuchan and the others.

Dozens of dark figures flew out of the black water and landed precisely in front of Ye Yuchan and the others. The four of them looked closely and saw that the thirty-two palm-sized black scales were neatly arranged in front of them.

Ye Yuchan quickly put the thirty-two dragon scales into her storage ring.

Jueying didn't forget to add another reminder.

"Remember, that kid's not around, so you guys better watch out."

After all, if any of these four people were to get into serious trouble... tsk tsk tsk, Jueying knew the consequences without even thinking about it.
