While Ao Bai was learning about the Eastern Hall Underworld, the Seven-Colored Egg and the Machine Ball asked many questions about the Dragon Palace and the Dragon Clan.
Even Xu Nan listened a lot and took notes.
After all, even the 'Archive Hall' of the Underworld had limited records of the Dragon Clan.
And now, there was a member of the Dragon Clan right in front of them who could answer questions and provide explanations on the spot.
"What is the Dragon Palace like?"
Upon hearing this question, Ao Bai, who had long wanted to educate the little dragon cub,'s eyes lit up. She cleared her throat. "The wonders of the Dragon Palace are too many to describe even if I spoke for three days and three nights..."
Seven-Colored Egg: "Then can you make a long story short?"
Ao Bai: "..."
She had only just begun.
Machine Ball: "How would you describe the Dragon Palace in three sentences?"
Ao Bai: "..."
She pondered for a moment, imagining topics they might be interested in. "Are there many treasures and magical artifacts that can be used freely?"
"Are there various delicacies from the Four Seas and Eight Desolations that can be eaten in different ways?"
"Are there dedicated teachers for one-on-one lessons, and various trial grounds that can be adjusted according to your strength?"
Yes, and every so often, various races would come to the Dragon Clan to send good things.
There were so many benefits.
As she was thinking, she saw the Seven-Colored Egg and the Machine Ball communicating:
"There are quite a lot of good things."
"And they can be used freely."
"Then, we can prepare more storage bags and share them with everyone when we bring them back."
"Oh, right, what did we say we were lacking when we went out on a mission last time?"
Listening to their conversation, Ao Bai felt numb: (||ﾟДﾟ)
Can we please not always think about emptying the Dragon Palace?
The Dragon Palace does have many good things, and they can be taken freely...
But you, taking from the Dragon Palace to subsidize the Underworld.
Why did she always feel something was not quite right?
At this moment, the Seven-Colored Egg asked again, "Is it convenient to come and go from your place? Do people usually not come to the human world?"
"It depends on where you are going. Entry and exit are stricter in the deep inner seas, while the outer seas are managed more leniently."
Ao Bai instinctively replied, "As far as I know, the fish and turtle clans come to the human world more often. They say it's to..."
She concentrated and thought of the word, "to get it for free."
"Relatively speaking, the shrimp and crab clans come less often."
"Oh—"
The Seven-Colored Egg and the Machine Ball looked enlightened.
Xu Nan, standing nearby, also listened with great interest.
Getting it for free...
Humans do take very good care of their pets.
Seven-Colored Egg: "No wonder there are always sayings about turning koi and making wishes, and raising turtles until the end of their lives."
Machine Ball: "Should we also try to get a koi?"
It had always had the idea of arming and strengthening itself wholeheartedly.
Otherwise,
For slightly more difficult missions, it would easily lose limbs or even its head.
Going to the Ghost Artifact Workshop could yield many materials...
But if wishes were useful, why not try?
The Seven-Colored Egg was also very curious about this, and with a wave of its hand:
"I'll go to the Dragon Palace then and see if I can bring some back for you."
One wish for each person.
Machine Ball: "Mhm, mhm!"
Ao Bai: "..."
Little cute koi, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to push you into the sea.
It's just that this little dragon cub... is too much of a player.
"By the way, what do you do in the Dragon Palace?"
The Seven-Colored Egg had always been curious about this.
Because it was born in the outside world.
It had never been to the Dragon Palace, nor had it interacted with other dragons.
It was impossible not to be curious about the lives of its own kind.
Ao Bai was about to answer when she suddenly thought of something and didn't reply immediately.
Because she realized that the little dragon cub's curiosity about the Dragon Clan might be a breakthrough point to change its thoughts and attitude towards the Dragon Clan.
With anticipation comes curiosity.
With curiosity comes the desire to understand and to try to connect.
