Seeing the Frost Dragon Feng Shuang obediently hand over what she wanted, the Flaming Bar's expression softened a little.
Feng Shuang whispered to Hyōhime, "Great human Demon Master, can you help me? As long as you can get Her Majesty to return it to me, I am willing to sign an equal contract with you and become your mount. How about it? You human Demon Masters can only have mounts after reaching the Six Crowns, but you can have one now. Our equal contract can last for a hundred years, and I will protect you faithfully. I am an adult Frost Dragon, with the strength of a Tenth Class Magical Beast. In the human world, there are very few who can fight against me. With me here, you will become the fifth Dragon Demon Master of the human world, and become the most powerful Demon Master. "
Ji Dong knew what the word 'Demon Master' meant. It was a title that only the highest ranked Demon Masters could add to their titles. When they were studying in the Fire Academy, Teacher Xia Tian had told them that the highest exclusive title for a Fire Demon Master was called Sheng Guang, while the highest exclusive title for a Fuhuo series Demon Master was called Tai Yi. A Fire Demon Master who had reached the Nine Crowns would be called Sheng Guang Demon Master, while the Fuhuo series would be called Tai Yi Demon Master.
Ji Dong understood that this Frost Dragon was not exaggerating. With its strength, it should be equivalent to a human Demon Master.
However, what shocked the Frost Dragon was that Ji Dong shook his head and said, "I don't need your contract. Firstly, you are a Water Demon Beast, and I am a Fire Demon Master. You are not suitable for me. Secondly, wealth cannot be corrupted, poverty cannot be swayed, and power cannot be subdued. When I was weak, you called me a lowly human. When the Flaming Bar appeared, you called me a great human. Although you are strong, you are so fickle and have no integrity. I don't need a mount like you."
Hearing Ji Dong's words, the Snow Dragon Feng Shuang was stunned. There seemed to be something else in her dragon eyes. Flaming Bar was also looking at Ji Dong. A strange light flashed across her clear and deep eyes.
Ji Dong turned to the Flaming Bar and said, "Flaming Bar, although I despise its character, this is a dragon egg, right? No matter how bad it is, we don't have the right to take away its child. To any living creature, a child is the most precious. Can we return it to it?"
Raging Flames raised a hand and placed it on the red and black dragon egg. Even such a simple action caused the Ice and Snow Dragon's heartbeat to suddenly accelerate.
"Do you think this is its child? This is a Fire Dragon's egg. Do you think that an Ice Dragon would give birth to a Fire Dragon's egg? It killed a Fire Dragon and snatched this dragon egg. In order to avoid being hunted down, it sealed itself in ice. It has been a thousand years. Dragons are lustful by nature. Its goal is to find an opportunity to hatch this dragon egg and keep it as its pet slave. Feng Shuang is a male dragon. The unborn child in this Fire Dragon's egg is a female dragon. "
At this point, the Flaming Bar no longer needed to explain. Ji Dong glared at the Frost Dragon Feng Shuang angrily.
Feng Shuang also knew that he definitely did not have a chance. He dejectedly withdrew his head and looked at the Fire Dragon Egg with an unwilling expression. Only then did he slowly retreat into the crevice of the icy mountain, quietly disappearing into the darkness.
The Flaming Bar gently stroked the huge Fire Dragon's egg in front of her and said calmly, "Are you wondering why it is so afraid of me?"
Ji Dong did not hide his inner thoughts and nodded.
The Flaming Bar turned to look at Hyōhime and said, "Do you remember when I told you that there are eighteen levels of the Underground World? This is an entrance to the Underground World. A thousand years ago, Feng Shuang offended the powerful Fire Dragon. Hence, he sought the protection of the Underground World and is responsible for guarding this place. Although I cannot use any of my powers in the human world, it is bound by a contract with the Underground World. How could it dare to disobey my orders? "
Ji Dong could not help but ask, "Flaming Bar, you are so powerful in the Underground World. You can even travel between the Underground World and the surface. Why can't you use your powers on the surface?"
The Flaming Bar laughed softly and said, "Now is not the time for you to know. When you have the power to protect me, I will naturally tell you. I have to go back. These few days, I seem to have noticed that you have not been cultivating properly. If you do not have the power to protect me as soon as possible, how can I come to the human world to look for you? Feng Shuang will send you back to the peak of the mountain. Don't forget what I said before. Don't tell anyone about me. Also, the wine you have been mixing these few days is a little bitter. I don't like it. You still have to slowly repay the 95 years you owe me. "
She raised her hand and gently caressed the left side of Ji Dong's chest. Just as Ji Dong was about to say something, she had already turned into a ray of red light and disappeared. Ji Dong only felt pain in his chest again. A huge Red Lotus quietly appeared under his feet. Two of its petals extended out and wrapped around the Fire Dragon's egg. Then, it disappeared along with the Flaming Bar.
The Flaming Bar had left, but it did not take away Ji Dong's happy mood. She had saved his people, and this had reignited the happiness in his heart. To Ji Dong, what mattered was that the Flaming Bar was still drinking his wine and still cared about him. That was enough for him.
A chilling energy surged out from the depths of the crack. It instantly engulfed Ji Dong, Carr, and Bissou's bodies. Their bodies felt light, and in the next moment, he and his two brothers had already returned to the peak of the mountain.
Pushing aside the dark clouds and seeing the bright moon, Ji Dong could not help but let out a long roar just like Carr and Bissou. This time, it would no longer bring trouble, but only an extremely carefree release.
Ji Dong silently made up his mind. Flaming Bar, don't worry. I will definitely cultivate hard. If you come to the human world in the future, I will use my life to protect you.
Earth's Core Lake.
The red light condensed, and the Flaming Bar quietly returned to this blazing world. The Fire Dragon's egg lay quietly beside her.
At this moment, her expression was completely different from when she had left Ji Dong. She raised her right hand, opened her palm, and looked at the empty palm. That was the spot where the tear had seeped into.
"Ji Dong, do you know? You've really caused ripples in my heart. Why is it that when I face you, I can't even choose to escape? Since I can't escape, let me watch you grow stronger and stronger. "
As he muttered to himself, the Flaming Bar waved his right hand, and the huge Fire Dragon's egg floated in mid-air. Layers of black and gold Mana surged continuously from the lava lake under the Flaming Bar's will, and tightly wrapped around the Fire Dragon's egg, forming a huge shell of light. The Flaming Bar muttered a few words, and the black and gold shell of light solidified completely, bringing the Fire Dragon's egg with it as it slowly sank into the lava lake.
"Ji Dong, I'll nourish it for you. When you have enough power, I'll give it to you."
…
"Boss, thank you for saving us." On the snowy peak, Carr and Bissou woke up one after the other. Although the two of them had suffered some injuries, the Yin And Yang Magician's physique, in addition to their own fire attributes, did not suffer from the cold, nor were they seriously injured.
Ji Dong did not tell them about the existence of the Frost Dragon, Feng Shuang. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain how he was able to survive in front of a tenth level Magical Beast. He only told Carr and Bissou that after falling into the crevice, he had slowly melted a hole in the ice wall, forming an ice ladder, and helped them climb out.
"Since we're brothers, let's not talk about this. Hurry up and recover, we'll leave this place as soon as possible." Ji Dong said to the two of them.
Carr and Bissou nodded and immediately entered a state of cultivation. They needed to recover their magic and physical strength, while Ji Dong also seized the time to recover his cultivation. When he saw the Flaming Bar again, the darkness in his heart had long been replaced by a thirst for power. Why would he waste any more time?
The three of them only woke up from their cultivation when the sun was setting in the west. Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, they quickly descended the icy peak and spent another night in the Frost Mountain Range. At noon the next day, they finally walked out of the mountain range and set foot on the territory of the Central Plains Empire.
After replenishing their supplies in the Wind Soil City, which was only fifty miles away from the Frost Mountain Range, they immediately boarded the horse carriage to the Central Plains City.
The Central Plains Empire was vast and rich in resources. The entire empire was mainly composed of plains. Ji Dong and the other two spent four days in the horse carriage and finally arrived at their destination.
In order to be able to continuously cultivate on the road, they purposely spent a gold coin to reserve a horse carriage. Apart from the coachman, there were only the three of them in the spacious horse carriage. As it turned out, this choice was very correct. Passing through the Frost Mountain Range not only rekindled Ji Dong's desire to cultivate after seeing the Flaming Bar, but it also made Carr and Bissou realize that they were not strong enough. Within four days, they had reached the peak of Level-11 and finally completed the breakthrough. The day before they arrived at the Central Plains City, they had broken through and reached the Level-12 Scholar level.
"We're finally here. Cultivating on the bumpy horse carriage is really a chore." Bissou stretched his body.
While Bissou was grumbling, Ji Dong and Carr were observing the largest city on the mainland.
Before entering the city, they were shocked once. The walls of the Central Plains City were extremely wide. When they were outside the city, they actually felt that they could not see the end of it. If they were to run around the city once, they might not be able to finish it even in two days.
The wide earthy yellow city walls gave off an extremely heavy feeling. The city walls were at least twenty feet tall. It was unknown how much manpower and resources were spent to build such a wide city wall. On the thick city walls, there was a huge pattern every fifty meters.
The pattern was carved, and there were a total of two appearances. One was a large silver bird, flapping its wings high in the sky, and the other was the appearance of a three-wood fish, from Ji Dong's point of view, it looked like a three-eyed whale.
Of course, these two patterns wouldn't appear on the city walls of the Central Plains City for no reason. They were the totems of the Yang Earth Element and the Yin Earth Element respectively, which were the Fifth Earth Element and the Sixth Earth Element respectively. The big silver bird was called Sky, while the three-eyed whale was called Sky. Ji Dong didn't know much about these two totems, but he guessed that they were the same as the Vermilion Bird and the Flying Serpent, which were the totems of the Yang Fire and the Yin Fire respectively.
After entering the Central Plains City, the first thing they felt was a magnificent atmosphere. All of the buildings were very tall and wide. They were mainly square. Just like the buildings in the Southern Fire Empire were mostly red, the buildings in the Central Plains City were mostly Yang Earth yellow. The wide streets could accommodate eight large horse carriages side by side. The shops on both sides of the streets even had their own gatehouses.
Since there was still one day before the entrance exam, the three of them weren't in a hurry. They just wandered on the streets and prepared to find a hotel to stay in first.
As they were walking, Ji Dong suddenly stopped. His eyes fell on a particularly huge building on the side of the main road.
The reason why he noticed this building was that it was not a square building. It had a very strange rectangular gatehouse. On the gatehouse, there was a huge logo with a diameter of more than three meters. On the logo, there was a wine shaker. There were five rings around the shaker, which were cyan, red, yellow, white, and black.
"What's this?" Ji Dong's heart moved.
Carr and Bissou's eyes also followed his gaze. Bissou smiled and said, "This is the Bartenders Guild, right? It should be the Central Plains City branch. No wonder it is the largest city in the continent. It is indeed different. I have been to the Blazing Fire City, the capital of the Southern Fire Empire. There is also a Bartenders Guild there, but the building is much smaller than this. Boss, look, that shaker is the logo of the Bartenders Guild. The five rings represent the five elements, and also represent the five empires. It means that no matter which country you are in, you will need bartenders. It is said that the headquarters of the Bartenders Guild is in the North Water Empire. They have the most excellent bartenders there."
Bissou's words were the same as Ji Dong's, but he just looked at it a few more times and continued to walk forward.
Carr said, "Boss, don't you want to go in and take a look? Since you are so good at mixing drinks, it shouldn't be difficult to get the bartender title. It will be more convenient to do anything in the future. I heard that bartenders are treated very well. If you can get the master title, you can also receive benefits from the guild. "
Ji Dong shook his head and glanced at the Bartenders Guild logo. He continued to walk forward. As the God of Wine in his previous life, it was a joke for him to take the bartender qualification test. He didn't want to go to such a place. In this life, his pursuit had changed from wine to magic cultivation. At the same time, he was also confident that in the field of bartending, even in this world where there were magic masters, no one could surpass him.
