Ning Xue had already woken up, and Tong Xin had also woken up. Although they still looked weak, it was obvious that they were fine. Seeing Ye Wuchen come back, Ningxue shouted excitedly, "Brother, where have you been? Sister Oculum has woken up."
"Yes! She had already woken up when you were sleeping. " Ye Wuchen sat on the edge of the bed and tapped Ningxue's nose. Then, he whispered to Oculum, "Be good and rest well. Don't think about other things, okay?"
Oculum nodded gently and leaned on him lazily. She was used to being a sword in his hand and a strong shield in front of him. She couldn't stop thinking about how she could protect him without power and who would protect him.
"Dragon … Daddy, why is there a dragon's aura?" Little Mo appeared behind Ye Wuchen silently with a surprised face. Soon, her eyes fell on the belt around Ye Wuchen's waist. There was a little head sticking out, looking around curiously. The little dragon was not as obedient as Little Black Tortoise. Even though it was thrown into Ye Wuchen's pocket by Ye Wuchen, it kept looking at the people and things around it. Everything was so novel and made it curious.
"Let's meet our new partners." Ye Wuchen took Little Black Tortoise and Little Dragon out and put them on the ground. Their appearance immediately attracted the curious gazes of the three girls. Ningxue and Little Mo squatted down and looked at them while asking curiously.
"Big Brother, did you just catch this little turtle? But it looks a little strange. "Ningxue wanted to touch Little Black Tortoise with her hand, but she flinched a few times and didn't dare to do so. At this time, Little Black Tortoise was a little listless and sleepy. Although it had won the battle with the Amethyst Evil Dragon easily, it had suffered a lot of damage and urgently needed a good rest. In contrast, the little dragon was much more spirited. Its eyes were constantly looking at this and that.
Ningxue instinctively thought that this was the little turtle that Ye Wuchen had caught from the river.
"It's called Little Black Tortoise. It's not a real tortoise." Ye Wuchen gave a simple explanation.
"Little Black Tortoise? What a strange name. Where did you catch it? "Ningxue asked.
"This … was given to me by someone." Ye Wuchen could only answer this way.
"Oh … was this puppy a gift from someone else?"
Puppy!?
The little dragon, which was waving its forelimbs, suddenly fell to the ground.
"It's a dragon." Little Foam frowned and said, "It's a lightning dragon. It looks like it was born not long ago. Father, where did this dragon come from? "
Dragons were the noblest of all beasts. Whether it was the Godly Continent, the Demon Continent or the Tianchen Continent, dragons existed everywhere. In Bubbly Mo's memories, the world she was born in had an incomparably powerful Demon Dragon. But no matter where it was, the number of dragons was extremely rare.
"The Lost Land." Ye Wuchen gave a simple answer.
"Hmm … hehe, it's not bad to have a little dragon as a pet. Even the worst dragon will be very powerful when it grows up. "Bubbly Mo smiled and said," Oh right, what's its name? "
"Amethyst Evil Dragon."
"Amethyst Evil Dragon? What a terrible name … Brother, can we give this puppy … ah, dragon a different name? "Ningxue raised her head and asked with twinkling eyes.
"Mm, then Xue 'er will give it a name."
"Hmm … its eyes seem to be purple, and its body is also a little purple. Can we call it Zi 'er?" Ningxue asked excitedly. The little dragon didn't seem as unapproachable as the Black Tortoise. She gently touched it with her hand and then began to play with it.
Ye Wuchen was just about to say "okay" when he suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his head. He quickly changed his words. "Zi 'er … Cher, let's call it Little Zi …"
"Eh? But Zi 'er's name sounds better. Why can't we call it Zi' er? "Ningxue raised her head and asked.
Why can't we call it Zi 'er? Ye Wuchen also had no idea why, but his soul energy told him that he couldn't call it that. Otherwise, something terrible might happen …
"Daddy, you can't call it Zi 'er … you can't …"
Not only was it a hint, but even Sichen, who had just woken up, was also using her voice to stop the little dragon from being called Zi 'er.
"Because Sichen said that she doesn't like the name Zi 'er, and she prefers the name Little Zi. So let's call it Little Zi, okay?" Ye Wuchen could only use Sichen as an excuse to tell Ningxue. Ningxue had always been obedient to Sichen. So when she heard Ye Wuchen's words, she nodded her head and gently shook the little dragon's body. "Okay! Then you'll be called Little Zi in the future. This is the name that Sichen gave you. "
Ye Wuchen stored the Black Tortoise and placed Little Zi in Ningxue's hand. "Little Zi is a real dragon. Although it's still young, it's already very powerful. Cher, remember to bring it with you in the future. It will protect you. "
Under Ye Wuchen's wish, the little Amethyst Evil Dragon, which was named Little Zi, temporarily stayed by Ningxue and Oculum's side as their final shield. Due to the existence of the Dragon Crystal, its power had unknowingly grown rapidly.

West of Tenryū Province, Yunhua City …
Both countries had been adjusting themselves for a few days, and everything was calm. Although the Great Gale Country had been restless, they did not launch an official attack. They seemed to be looking for a shortcut to take down the city. Taking down Yunhua City and Xilu City would be equivalent to breaking through the first line of defense in Tenryū Province.
Zhuge Xiaoyu had been in Yunhua City for a few days, and Ye Hui had only paid a visit to her once as a matter of routine. They never took the initiative to look for her again, and it was evident that they did not place this female general in their eyes. Zhuge Xiaoyu's deputies were furious, but she didn't care about it. The current situation couldn't be any more normal. For these soldiers, it was already hard for them to accept a female general, so how could they be willing to be manipulated by a female general …
Standing on the city gate tower, Zhuge Xiaoyu looked into the distance with her brows furrowed. The Great Gale Country was very close, and they were stationed less than five miles away. Looking from afar, there were densely packed flags with the word 'Wind' embroidered on them.
After a brief moment, she returned to the hall and yelled, "Thunderclap and Fiery Alarm!"
Two soldiers dressed in black and red entered and cupped their hands together. "Here."
"How many Sky-shaking Bombs do we have?" Zhuge Xiaoyu asked. Thunderclap and Fiery Alarm were the two highest leaders of the Hua family's strongest team, the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire. This time, although Hua Zhentian didn't come, he handed over his strongest force to Ye Nu. And Ye Nu handed it over to Zhuge Xiaoyu.
"The Sky-shaking Bombs are too precious. Only the two of us have them, and we have a hundred of them," the two soldiers replied.
"Very well, tonight …" Zhuge Xiaoyu nodded and explained her strategy in detail.
"Yes!" The two soldiers accepted the order without hesitation and left.
The morale of the Dafeng Kingdom was high, but the Sky Dragon Union was generally low. If they wanted to fight with the Great Gale Country, the first thing they had to do was to weaken their morale. Before that, avoiding the fight was the only choice.
That night, under the cover of the pitch-black curtain of night, a few figures dressed in black jumped down from the city wall of Yun Hua City and quietly approached the Great Gale Country's campsite. However, the sentries of the Great Gale Country were not just for show. Although they were careful, they didn't dare to get too close, and there was no need for them to get too close.
Separated by a long distance, they stopped at the same time, then nodded to each other, took out the bows on their backs, took out a dark ball from their pockets, fixed it on the arrows, and then pulled the bows and arrows, whistling in different directions. Before the arrows fell to the ground, they turned back at the same time and retreated as fast as they could.
Boom boom boom …
The dozens of arrows that carried the Sky-shaking Bombs were like dozens of meteors. They flew a long distance and landed in the Great Gale Country's campsite. Suddenly, more than a dozen earth-shattering explosions rang out one after another, blowing up several tents that were close by. The Great Gale Army woke up with a start. The loud noises made them think that the enemy was attacking. In a panic, they put on their armor as fast as they could. However, when they walked out of their tents, all they saw was their own well-prepared troops. It was quiet in the distance, and there was no enemy attack.
After waiting for most of the night in fear, when the sky began to brighten, the Great Gale Country finally went back to rest. However, as soon as they fell asleep, they were awakened by a few more deafening explosions. They quickly put on their armor and weapons and rushed out … But what they saw was still empty space.
The next day, the Great Gale Country kept cursing, but the gate of Yun Hua City was still closed. At night, the Great Gale Country's campsite, which had just quieted down, was disturbed by the Sky-shaking Bombs again. For the next three days, it happened every day. After three days, most of the Great Gale Country's soldiers had dark circles under their eyes. On the fourth day, the army retreated twenty miles away obediently and set up camp again.
The next day, Ye Hui specially invited Zhuge Xiaoyu to a banquet. During the banquet, he was full of praise for the Sky-shaking Bombs of the Hua family. He also praised Zhuge Xiaoyu's strategy. Zhuge Xiaoyu had been calm all along, but her brows were knitted tighter and tighter.
Indeed, Ye Hui was praising her, but he was praising her with words and actions. Moreover, his words were getting more and more unscrupulous. In the end, it was the few high-ranking officers of Yun Hua City who were drinking wine wantonly. Their words were getting more and more vulgar, and they completely ignored her. It was obvious that Zhuge Xiaoyu's silence and quietness these days had caused them to not have the slightest bit of respect for her. Even Ye Hui's deputy general had a completely disrespectful attitude towards her.
Before the banquet was over, Zhuge Xiaoyu found an excuse to leave. She returned to her residence and shook her head silently. She muttered to herself, "It's no wonder that even though he has the surname Ye, he was not allowed to stay in Celestial Dragon City. Instead, he was sent to the most remote west. It's a big taboo to underestimate the enemy or one's own people. Even though he is brave and fierce, he is destined to be a good-for-nothing."
She looked into the distance and said softly, "It seems that I can only rely on myself for everything."
