No one stopped Su Ping from leaving the Mysterious Realm with Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang.
When he left the Mysterious Realm and stood on the snowy mountain, he turned around and looked at the Tower. The disappointment in his heart gradually disappeared. He had to rely on himself in this world. He couldn't blame others.
He summoned the Dark Dragon Hound and told it to take on the dragon form.
Su Ping told Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang to get on the Dark Dragon Hound's back and they swam out of the snowy mountain.
Su Ping took out the Soul Nurturer from the black box and summoned the Inferno Dragon's soul after they left the Tower.
The dragon's soul was like a mist that could dissipate at any moment. There was only a faint golden glow around the dragon's soul. Divine energy was protecting it.
Su Ping planned to take the Inferno Dragon to the Demigod Burial again if he couldn't get the Soul Nurturer from the Tower. He would let the Inferno Dragon rest in Joanna's spring. After all, divine energy could keep the dragon's soul alive. However, it would consume a large amount of energy and it was not a long-term solution.
Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang didn't say a word as they looked at the translucent Inferno Dragon's soul. During the two days when Su Ping was in a coma, they had read the reports after the battle. They had learned that Su Ping's famous Inferno Dragon had been killed by the Otherworld Heavenly King. Luckily, the dragon's soul was so strong that it didn't perish on the spot. That was why the Inferno Dragon had a chance to live.
That was why Xie Jinshui had left all his work behind to go to the Tower with Su Ping. He wanted to make it up to Su Ping.
After all, it was all thanks to Su Ping that the Longjiang Base City was able to survive.
The Soul Nurturer seemed to have sensed the appearance of the Inferno Dragon's soul. The Soul Nurturer began to emit a dark mist that covered the dragon's soul.
The Purgatory Dragon Soul also let out waves of comfortable thoughts. Its body shrunk and entered the Soul Nurturing Immortal Grass's roots. It shrunk several hundred times and became like a little worm. It swam around the Soul Nurturing Immortal Grass's translucent roots, absorbing the undead energy inside to conceal itself.
Su Ping was relieved to see that it was effective.
That being said, using the Soul Nurturer to stall the Inferno Dragon's soul was only a temporary measure. He had to find the dragon origin mentioned by the system as soon as possible and bring the Inferno Dragon back to life. That was the only way to eliminate all future troubles.
"From now on, Mr. Su will be responsible for the taxes that the Longjiang Base City pays to the Tower. You will be the guardian of the Longjiang Base City." Xie Jinshui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Infernal Dragon Soul's condition had stabilized. He looked at the snowy scenery that whizzed past and sighed with emotion as he spoke to Su Ping.
Su Ping shook his head. "Keep the tax money for yourself and use it to build the Longjiang Base City. If you have nowhere else to spend the money, reduce the taxes for the residents so that they can live a better life."
The tax revenue was huge, at least several billion a year, but Su Ping wasn't short of money that couldn't be converted into energy points. He wouldn't spend the money anyway. In the words of a certain Mr. Ma, he wasn't interested in money. Spending money was boring, and he wasn't interested in spending money.
Xie Jinshui was surprised. He darted a look at Su Ping. The latter seemed to be serious.
Xie Jinshui knew about Su Ping's pet store and that Su Ping was serious and conscientious when it came to doing business. Previously, Su Ping had even made an enemy of the Liu family in order to get more business. Xie Jinshui didn't expect that Su Ping would give up on such a huge amount of tax money.
Xie Jinshui didn't believe that Su Ping was a person who didn't love money.
If that was the case, he wouldn't have done so many strange things for the sake of the pet store.
The meaning behind this caused Xie Jinshui to fall silent for a moment.
Qin Duhuang didn't expect that Su Ping would say that. He gazed at Su Ping and said nothing.
Su Ping looked at the Infernal Dragon's soul in the Soul Nurturer gently. He touched the Soul Nurturer and felt that he was touching the Infernal Dragon's soul. He used to be able to touch the Infernal Dragon easily. Only when the Infernal Dragon's soul was left did Su Ping realize how extravagant it was to touch the Infernal Dragon's soul.
Some people and some things would only realize how precious they were after they lost them.
He put the Soul Nurturer into his storage space so that the Inferno Dragon could have a good rest.
…
In less than half a day, Su Ping, Qin Duhuang, and Qin Duhuang had returned to the Longjiang Base City.
Su Ping flew back to the street outside the store.
Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang said goodbye to Su Ping at once. They had other things to attend to.
Su Ping didn't ask them to stay. He called the Dark Dragon Hound back into the contract space and went back to the store.
Zhong Lingtong and Tang Ruyan were sitting in the store with nothing to do. But the two girls were worried. They weren't optimistic that Su Ping would go to the Tower.
He had to admit that women had good instincts.
The two girls were surprised to see Su Ping as soon as he entered the store. They were overjoyed to see that it was Su Ping.
"Sir!"
Zhong Lingtong shouted and ran over in a hurry.
Tang Ruyan was about to say something when she heard Zhong Lingtong's voice. She swallowed her words and hurried over as well.
Tang Ruyan sized up Su Ping. She turned pale when she saw that Su Ping was covered in blood.
"Did the legendary battle pet warriors from the Tower give you a hard time?" Tang Ruyan asked at once. She bit her lips, which was rare for her.
Zhong Lingtong came back to her senses. "Sir, you're badly hurt. I'll go and find you a healer." She was about to run out of the store.
Su Ping grabbed her arm and said grumpily, "What healer? The best healer in the Longjiang Base City is in our store."
"What?" Zhong Lingtong stared at Tang Ruyan with wide eyes.
Tang Ruyan knew that Su Ping wasn't talking about them. He was talking about that employee, Joanna. She was an official employee of Su Ping's store. Not only was she a legendary battle pet warrior, she was also mysterious. Tang Ruyan didn't know that Joanna knew healing skills. She was … older than Tang Ruyan.
After all, only those who had enough time would have the energy to learn so many skills.
"I'm fine. Just a little unpleasantness. It's settled, "Su Ping said casually. He didn't want the two girls to worry too much. He could tell that they were genuinely worried.
But what surprised Su Ping was that Zhong Lingtong was his student; it was normal for her to worry about him. He didn't know that Tang Ruyan, a captive, would worry about him as well. Maybe she had developed Stockholm syndrome after spending so much time with him.
Of course, Su Ping didn't see Tang Ruyan as a captive. He saw her as an employee.
"What unpleasantness? Was it with the Tower?" Tang Ruyan couldn't help but ask. If there was any unpleasantness with the Tower, it wouldn't be a "small" matter.
The Tower was the most powerful force in the Blue Star. Any order from the Tower could make a top family like the Tang family tremble. The Tower was a force that could overthrow any other force. Therefore, many families would send people to the Tower to serve the legendary battle pet warriors and to gather information as soon as possible.
Tang Ruyan's heart sank at that thought.
Unfortunately, she no longer had anything to do with the Tang family. Otherwise, she could have used her fake identity as the future family head to find out what was going on with the Tang family from the Tower.
Su Ping shook his head. He didn't want to talk about it. "I'm busy right now. Go and tell my mom that I'm back. Tell her not to worry."
Zhong Lingtong nodded. She suddenly remembered something. "Sir, your dad is at home too. I heard that he just came back from a trip to the sea."
Su Ping didn't expect that his father, whom he had never met, would be back.
He had a strange feeling. He shook his head and said, "I'll go and see them later. Tell them that I'm back."
The most important thing for him was to revive the Inferno Dragon as soon as possible so that he could get rid of the burden on his mind.
Zhong Lingtong nodded. "Okay."
Su Ping patted her head and went to the pet room. He closed the door.
Joanna was cultivating in the nursing pen. She opened her eyes as Su Ping came in. She saw the blood on Su Ping's clothes. A glint of sharpness rose in her eyes. "The Tower you went to didn't want to give you the Soul Nurturer?"
Su Ping shook his head. "They did. There was a small conflict but it's all in the past."
Joanna gazed at him but didn't say anything else.
"I'm going to the Dragon Realm to find the dragon origin and revive the Inferno Dragon," Su Ping said, "I'll leave the store to you."
"Can I go with you?" Joanna asked.
Su Ping shook his head. "If I go, I'll be fine even if I die. But you won't."
Joanna would only have one life when she went to other cultivation sites, unless she took advantage of the employee benefits awarded by the system.
If she went to those cultivation sites as an Excellent Employee, she would be able to buy the number of lives with energy points.
But Joanna had just become an employee and she hadn't accumulated enough points yet.
"Take care of yourself." Joanna remembered Su Ping's strange revival ability. All of a sudden, she realized that her worries were unnecessary. That mysterious being behind Su Ping could easily revive a dragon. After all, the dragon had been revived many times in the Demigod Burial.
The dragon hadn't come back to life yet, probably because it wanted to give Su Ping a test.
She shook her head. She didn't think too much about it. She couldn't figure it out anyway.
Su Ping opened the list of cultivation sites in the Dragon Realm.
After checking, he immediately discovered that there were countless worlds with the word "Dragon World" in the cultivation list.
Ancient Dragon Realm (advanced cultivation site)
Mighty Celestial Dragon Realm (advanced cultivation site)
Great Expansion Dragon Realm (advanced cultivation site)
Archean Ancestral Dragon Realm (top cultivation site)
