Chapter 582: Good Girl
“Very good, you’ve done a good job. The master is happy, and I’m happy too. That will benefit you.”
Little White nodded in satisfaction, patted the Holy Ginseng's head with satisfaction, and then took it and flew away.
Saint Shen didn't mention it again, asking what to do with the "sub-races" with Saint Dragon bloodlines inside the Saint Dragon Cave, because his goal had already been achieved: the Primordial Saint Dragon Ancestor had been found!
Although it was the ancestor who personally came to interrogate him, Sheng Shen felt that this was still a victory.
Now that we have an ancestor.
Why bother with these trashy sub-tribes?
The Dragon Emperor himself didn't really want to pay attention to them, but he was worried that he would be searching for a needle in a haystack in the Xuan Tian Realm, so he planned to get some helpers to help him find them. But now that the Ancestor has found them, do he still need them?
No need!
Saint Ginseng happily followed Little White.
Although the Dragon Emperor was quite upset after being scolded by the Ancestor, he remained optimistic. After all, the Ancestor had at least left him some room to maneuver, and he would have to perform well if he worked for the Ancestor from now on.
Yes, we must cling tightly to the progenitor's coattails!
……
As the sun began to set, Gu Heng was surprised to find that Qin Yiyao had returned.
"Master!"
The little girl was full of energy. As soon as she entered, she opened her mouth wide, startling Gu Heng, who was checking the plants in the yard. He turned around and saw that it was Qin Yiyao. Qin Yiyao was wearing a light yellow dress. He didn't know what was going on, but seeing how happy she was, Gu Heng had no reason not to smile.
"You've only been gone a short while, and you're already back? Are you homesick?" Gu Heng asked with a smile.
"Today is a big day."
Qin Yiyao had already planned to return at this exact time, after all, it was exactly one year since she met her master!
For her, this was a day that would change her destiny, and she naturally had every reason to celebrate. Perhaps this day was nothing special for Gu Heng, but it was not the same for Qin Yiyao.
If she hadn't met Gu Heng, she probably would have suffered hundreds or even thousands of times more hardships.
Fortunately, she met him.
"Here, this is for you."
Qin Yiyao took out the small gift box and handed it to Gu Heng. Inside was the little pendant she had picked out in the market of Yanluo New Capital. It was an unpretentious gift, but it was all about the sentiment. Qin Yiyao knew very well that she couldn't give him anything particularly valuable, and Gu Heng didn't lack such things, so it was just the thought that counted.
Gu Heng was taken aback, took the box, and looked at the exquisitely crafted little pendant inside: "A gift for me?"
"Yes, it's been a year since I met my master!" Qin Yiyao said with a smile, then blinked her eyes: "Do you like it?"
Gu Heng was stunned. Looking at the bright smile in front of him, he put the pendant on.
I'll definitely like it.
He didn't actually remember the encounter.
It wasn't a birthday or a wedding; it was just a chance encounter, an ordinary meeting. But he didn't expect Qin Yiyao to remember it all this time.
Is there any girl in the world who can compare to her? "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Gu Heng touched the neck with the pendant hanging from it, a warm and doting smile spreading across his face.
"Now that we're back, let's go to Youjian Inn for dinner tonight. My cooking skills aren't great, but Manager Jin Qian knows his stuff. What do you think?"
"Alright, whatever Master says goes."
Qin Yiyao naturally had no objection to this.
Compared to Gu Heng, Jin Qian's cooking was indeed much better. If one had to nitpick about his master, his cooking skills would definitely be one of them. After all, even he himself admitted that his purpose in cooking was simply to ensure he had something to eat, so he basically didn't care about the taste...
At this moment.
Xiao Bai has returned as well.
When Qin Yiyao saw him, she ran over and pinched his dragon claws and tail. Compared to Su Jinxi, Qin Yiyao actually preferred Xiaobai.
After all, if Su Jinxi were to take human form, she would be too big and too threatening.
Therefore, Qin Yiyao prefers Xiaobai.
"Hey, Little White, where did you go and bring back another little dragon?"
Her gaze fell upon the white dragon, which was flying slowly behind Little White, but was a size smaller than Little White.
This white dragon isn't that white; you can tell at a glance that it's different from Little White.
Gu Heng also saw it, and after taking a few more glances, he found it a bit strange. How come Xiao Bai brought back another of its kind after going out?
But he didn't care too much. Xiaobai was intelligent and had a spiritual connection, so it wouldn't be surprising if it did something. As for bringing an extra dragon home, Gu Heng didn't think it mattered. He just considered it as him having an extra playmate.
He wasn't too harsh on his pet, and besides, Xiaobai was a good helper with housework and was very diligent. He wasn't an exploiter, so he should give him some freedom.
"Xiaolong?"
"If I were to reveal my full true form, I could blot out the sky!"
Saint Can was immediately displeased. He didn't care if the Ancestor scolded him, but even a little girl like this dared to gossip about him. He had never seen a dragon unleash its power before!
But he really can't unleash his power.
The ancestor gave an order.
Little White didn't say anything, just nodded, and casually flicked Saint Ginseng with its tail, telling him to get out of the house.
Saint Ginseng didn't dare to get angry and slunk away.
The ancestor's opinion is paramount; we must endure it!
You have to endure it, even if you can't help it!
Holding his breath, Saint Ginseng disregarded everything else and flew into the house. The Ancestor had said that there would be work to be assigned to him later, and Saint Ginseng could not slack off.
"I'm going out to eat with her. When we get back, remember to prepare her bathwater first, understand?"
Xiao Bai nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.
"Alright, girl, let's go to Youjian Inn."
Gu Heng set off with Qin Yiyao.
Little White flew back into the house, then looked at the Holy Ginseng and said coldly, "That person just now is the master's disciple. Perhaps she will become the master's partner in the future. If you offend her, be careful that the master will kill you directly!"
This descendant of mine is truly a handful. He's gotten used to bullying others in other great realms and doesn't know what's good for him!
Although Qin Yiyao looks weak now, her achievements are by no means low. Her master also dotes on her so much that even this doting has become a matter of course.
Even Xiao Bai dared not provoke Qin Yiyao. "Yes, Xiao Long will obey the Ancestor's command and will never offend him!"
After being scolded by the Ancestor, Saint Ginseng immediately became obedient and dared not say anything more. He did not argue with the Ancestor. Even though Saint Ginseng was unconvinced, he still had no doubts about Little White.
Since he said not to mess with me, I'll just behave myself and not provoke him.
"Alright, now that you're back, let's get to work." Xiaobai slumped onto the table, seemingly ready to fall into a deep sleep.
"What does the ancestor want me to do?"
Saint Ginseng also perked up.
The progenitor is about to assign himself a very important task!
I have to do well. If I don't, how can I perform well in front of him, how can I become stronger and improve?
"Huh? Didn't I just tell you that you'll be doing all the housework from now on? That means you're the one who has to do the housework."
Xiao Bai raised his dragon eye impatiently, thinking that this descendant was indeed a bit slow-witted. He had explained it so clearly, but the descendant still didn't understand. He really needed to be educated more.
Then he waved his hand and brought all sorts of things, such as burlap, brooms, and mops, to Saint Ginseng.
"Clean this room thoroughly, inside and out, without a speck of dust. If there's even a speck of dust, I'll hold you responsible."
"Remember to fetch water from the well in the backyard."
After saying that, Xiaobai lay down and fell fast asleep.
"..."
Saint Can looked at the cleaning tools in front of him and fell into confusion and deep thought.
