Chapter 927 Extra Story - Golden Dragon
The flowers of the Spirit Tree are somewhat like wind chimes, making a tinkling sound whenever the wind blows.
Everyone in the Ashford family villa loved the sound of the Spirit Tree flowers. As soon as they heard it, all their fatigue and worries vanished instantly.
Ten years later.
The Spirit Tree flowers gradually withered and bore lantern-shaped fruits.
At first, the fruits were yellow, but as they grew, they turned orange, and when fully ripe, they became red.
The red lantern fruits sparkled and emitted a star-like light.
Once someone punctured them, unexpected treasures would appear inside.
Sometimes it would be a golden leaf, other times a small spirit worm, and occasionally, a shimmering treasure chest.
As long as someone made a wish, the treasure chest would open and grant them what they desired.
The Spirit Realm is a very magical world, and everyone who comes here wants to stay permanently and never leave.
Ivy and Alexander walked hand in hand into the Spirit Tree, curious about how the Spirit Veins had developed here.
Inside the Spirit Tree, a tiny Spirit Heart grew, and the Spirit Veins had just sprouted. They were as transparent as mung bean sprouts, moist, and very delicate.
How could such Spirit Veins connect all corners of the universe?
They could only wait a little longer!
Coiling around the treetop of the Spirit Tree was a golden little dragon, basking in the sun carefreely, occasionally nibbling on a few Spirit Leaves, lazy and at ease.
When he saw Ivy appear, he immediately transformed into a ten-year-old boy and ran over excitedly.
"Master, have you come to see me?"
Ivy looked at him in astonishment. She never expected the young Dragon King to be so handsome. Just one glance and it was hard to look away.
"Ahem!" Alexander felt a little jealous. "Ivy, you stared at him for three seconds!"
"He's just a child!" Ivy immediately averted her gaze.
Ivy noticed a purple small bottle hanging around the young golden dragon's neck and curiously asked, "Little Golden Dragon, what's this?"
The young golden dragon proudly showed off the purple bottle. "This is a spatial bottle I obtained from the treasure chest. It contains a space, a very large one."
Ivy picked up the purple bottle and carefully observed it with her discerning eyes.
She discovered that the bottle was inhabited by many female creatures, all practicing inside. This made her feel uneasy.
"Why are there so many little creatures in the bottle? Are they your friends?"
"Yes, they are all my friends. I let them practice inside so that once they attain a human form, they can be loyal to my master together with me!"
"Why are all your friends females?" Ivy furrowed her brows slightly.
"You noticed that too? Master is truly remarkable!" The young golden dragon scratched his head in embarrassment. "I plan to marry them once they achieve their human forms. It just happens that I will have grown up by then as well."
In his past life, the Dragon King had countless wives, and countless offspring came from those marriages. The golden dragon was destined to follow in his footsteps.
The unclear hybrids gave birth to many little monsters.
After being reborn, they started misbehaving again. It seems that they need proper education!
Ivy immediately opened the purple bottle and released all the female small animals.
"Master, what are you doing? You can't do this. I painstakingly collected them!" cried the Golden Dragon Boy, stomping his feet. He wailed and said, "Master, you're so domineering. Do you know how much effort I put into collecting these small animals? They are the most perfect and adorable ones, carefully selected by me..."
Ivy put her hands on her hips and said impatiently, "If you want to be friends with the small animals, I have no objections. But controlling their freedom, forcing them to train and marry them, that is shameless!"
"What's wrong with that?" the Golden Dragon Boy angrily replied, "I never intended to marry animals. I will only marry them after they grow up. Besides, helping them train is not a bad thing at all. It is a virtuous act. Why am I not allowed to do it?"
"Even so, you can only marry one wife. No more than that!" Ivy took out a civil code book without thinking.
"When in the mortal realm, one must abide by its rules! I want you to memorize this book, word by word, especially the part about monogamy in the marriage law!"
"I won't memorize! I don't like reading!" the defiant Golden Dragon Boy said.
"Are you defying your master's orders?" Ivy casually took out the Soul Whip from her space.
"Will you memorize it or not? If you don't, I'll whip you to death!" Ivy threatened.
"I won't memorize it. If I say I won't, I won't," the Golden Dragon Boy glared at Ivy with hatred.
In his heart, he thought, I am your pet. I don't believe you would really whip me to death.
Originally, Ivy just wanted to scare the Golden Dragon Boy, but this trick didn't work at all.
Seeing through the Golden Dragon Boy's thoughts with her discerning eyes, Ivy immediately decided to get serious.
"Crack!" She fiercely whipped him.
"Will you memorize it now?"
The Golden Dragon Boy was scared. The whip inflicted unbearable pain on his entire body, as if his soul was about to separate from his body.
"I won't memorize!" The Golden Dragon Boy became even angrier. "If you have the guts, whip me to death. Even if you do, I won't read this book!"
How infuriating!
Ivy made up her mind and lashed him three more times with all her strength.
These three lashes were not light, and the Golden Dragon Boy rolled on the ground in agony.
"Ah... it hurts... please don't whip me anymore. I know I was wrong. Spare me, master..."
"Will you memorize the book then?" Ivy asked sternly.
"I will memorize it now..." The Golden Dragon Boy struggled to get up from the ground and opened the code book pitifully.
"I'll memorize it properly. Not a single word will be missed. I'll come to check in three days!"
The Golden Dragon Boy held the book and obediently said, "Understood, master... I will definitely memorize it well..."
As Ivy put away the Soul Whip and was about to leave, the Golden Dragon Boy, with tears in his eyes, asked, "Should I also memorize the regulations regarding the protection of minors?"
Ivy suddenly froze, realizing what she had done just now. Wasn't she supposed to use love to influence this dragon? How could she be so ruthless towards a juvenile golden dragon! Immediately crouching down, she sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I won't treat you like this next time, but can you please behave a little better in the future? It's for your own good, you know. A man shouldn't have many wives!"
"I understand, Master. I promise I'll be good from now on and won't make you angry anymore..." The young golden dragon looked pitiful as he threw himself into Ivy's arms and sobbed.
