Chapter 474: Chapter 473: You’re Even! (Second Update)
The wooden man used both hands, and forcefully tugged on Yun Ran’s ear.
With a tone full of disdain: "Haven’t I taught you that only when you’re strong enough can you protect everything you want to protect? Any trickery is useless in the face of true strength.
You got outsmarted because you’re too weak. Be honest, since you came to this world, have you been slacking off in your cultivation!!!"
Getting pulled by the ear was a pain Yun Ran could easily ignore, but his little uncle’s words made his eyes wander, and his guilty expression was about to spill out.
"I knew it, you’ve been lazy since you were young. That whirlpool just now, if you were at your peak strength, how could you not escape it!
Given your current state, you can’t even compare to Little Fatty and the others! Once we get out of here, I’ll deal with you thoroughly. Truly, three days without a beating and you’re ready to jump on the roof..."
When his little uncle was scolding him, Yun Ran didn’t dare to talk back, otherwise, he would face corporal punishment.
For who knows how long, his little uncle seemed to finally have run out of scolding, leaving Yun Ran’s eyes blank as if his soul had been thoroughly ravaged.
Now, Yun Ran really wanted to cry.
"Oh my gosh!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from not far behind Yun Ran.
When the flashlight shone over, a small dragon avatar appeared in front of Yun Ran.
"Dragon Spirit?"
Upon hearing Yun Ran’s voice, a flurry of emotions surged in Dragon Spirit’s heart.
It was truly unfortunate; it only wanted to come over and see if it could help a little, lest Yun Ran survive and find an excuse to take out his anger on it.
Yet, as soon as it reached the bounds of this deep forest, it got sucked into a whirlpool. Could it be any more wronged?
"What kind of cursed place is this, you’ve killed me!!!"
Looking at Dragon Spirit’s grumpy dragon head, Yun Ran was immune to it.
"Alright, now that you’re here, what’s the point of all the jabbering? Anyway, thanks for coming to find me~"
Dragon Spirit was originally angry, even vaguely irritated at Yun Ran. If Yun Ran said something upsetting, it would explode instantly.
Yet Yun Ran opened his mouth to thank it, causing Dragon Spirit to awkwardly sway its dragon tail.
The cocky statement: "Even if you thank me, don’t think you can just get away with it. Later, you must compensate me!"
At this moment, his little uncle’s voice inconveniently chimed in: "You formed a contract with this dumb thing?"
Dragon Spirit: ...
Bold, what a thing, dare to call it a dumb thing?
Soon, Dragon Spirit saw the little wooden figure standing on Yun Ran’s shoulder, a figure it could crush with just a finger without any effort!
His little uncle naturally noticed Dragon Spirit’s dissatisfaction and arrogance, and raised a hand, slapping over.
Dragon Spirit didn’t have time to utter a harsh word, nor did it understand what was going on before it flipped several times.
Yun Ran opened his mouth, intending to stop Dragon Spirit from disrespecting his little uncle, but ended up watching Dragon Spirit get schooled.
Dragon Spirit’s entire dragon head was a bit dazed, its large dragon eyes brimming with clear stupidity: Who am I, where am I...
Yun Ran didn’t escape his little uncle’s lesson either: "This kind of dumb thing, you actually fancy it? You just changed your body, not your brain,
Are you not thinking of going back, forming such ties with this world’s life..."
After being dazed, the originally angry Dragon Spirit strangely felt balanced seeing Yun Ran also suffer indiscriminate aggression from the wooden man.
Even knowing the wooden man referred to it as the dumb thing, it had no desire to charge up and battle three hundred rounds.
Yet the more it listened, Dragon Spirit felt something amiss. The words seemed to imply Yun Ran wasn’t from this world?
After a long time, that wooden man continued scolding Yun Ran, while Yun Ran huddled there like a misbehaving quail.
Dragon Spirit suddenly felt a bit pitiful and sympathetic towards Yun Ran; he was seriously too miserable. As expected, in the presence of elders, anyone might act like a grandson.
Luckily fortunately, it had no elders. If others saw it being scolded like a grandson, it would be too disgraceful to live.
"That little mudfish over there, get over here!"
Dragon Spirit looked around in confusion; in this direction, aside from itself, there weren’t any other life forms, right?
"Are you talking to me?"
"Obviously. You, born from Jiao Long, what else are you if not a mudfish!"
Impugned personally, Dragon Spirit was enraged, wanting to fight back, but its body flew uncontrollably towards Yun Ran.
The wooden man grasped Dragon Spirit in mid-air, inspecting it with blatant contempt on his wooden face.
"Turns out it’s a Symbiotic Contract, Yun Ran, you’re something else!"
Yun Ran lowered his head even further. Outside, he could flaunt and act cool, but before his little uncle, he was just a piece of trash.
Dragon Spirit fiercely kicked, yet its avatar was firmly pinned by the wooden man, unable to move at all.
It finally understood why Yun Ran feared this wooden man, who resembled a little wooden figure.
"Let me go!"
The wooden man reached towards Dragon Spirit’s reverse scale, scaring Dragon Spirit into loud protest: "You, you, you... I’m in a symbiotic relationship with Yun Ran, if you dare pull out my reverse scale, I... I..."
He stammered for a long time, not daring to utter threats, because his life right now was clutched by the opponent.
Dragon Spirit turned its head to look at Yun Ran playing quail beside it: "Yun Ran, do you have a conscience? I came a long way to find you, and you just stand by watching your elder kill me?"
At that moment, a clear sound rang out.
Dragon Spirit expected its reverse scale to be pulled, but the pain never came; instead, it felt a sort of unspeakable comfort.
The wooden man disdainfully released Dragon Spirit: "Your symbiotic contract has been dissolved.
Moreover, since you helped my Yun Ran before, I helped fuse the unmerged Fire Dragon Dragon Essence within you, going forward, you two are even!"
Dragon Spirit realized then that the wooden man so easily broke all ties between it and Yun Ran.
This kind of method, Dragon Spirit had never seen even in all its years of memories.
With a fear it hadn’t even realized, its voice trembled: "You... you... what on earth are you!"
But the wooden man didn’t bother responding.
Turning to Yun Ran: "This place, though not good, is excellent for cultivation.
Until I find a way out, you must train diligently here. If I find you slacking off again, you know the consequences!"
