Chapter 151 Plan
Chapter 151 Plan
Just as Murong Bai was about to go back, a blinding white light flashed before his eyes, followed by a deafening roar.
Murong Bai felt dizzy and his ears rang. Then a shock hit him, sending him flying far away. Before he could regain his footing, a huge wave several meters high followed, sweeping him into the sea.
The moment Diana cast the 'nuclear peace spell,' she was teleported to a distant point on the sea. The two watched the massive mushroom cloud rise from the horizon. 'The power seemed a little too great! Next time we'll have to make it smaller!'
"Sister Anna, is my fourth brother dead from the explosion?"
Diana felt a little guilty; surely she wouldn't get seriously hurt in the sea!
"It's not a big problem~ Your fourth brother is a dragon! He should be fine!"
Just to be on the safe side, Diana activated her reconnaissance skill and spotted a red dot marked with a large white dot on the surface of the sea in the distance. It was someone she knew; Diana usually marked him with a note. After all, he was Elua's fourth brother, and it definitely wasn't because Diana was interested in his seafood-summoning ability.
"Xiaoya, we've found your fourth brother!"
Diana, carrying Elua, teleported to the airspace above that sea area. With a perfect synchronized dive, the two swam towards the seabed.
From a distance, Diana spotted Murong Bai lying motionless on the seabed. Her heart skipped a beat. 'Could he be that fragile?'
The two approached Murong Bai's head, and Diana patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey—wake up, wake up!"
Ailuya tugged at Murong Bai's beard, but he still showed no signs of waking up.
"Sister Anna, is Fourth Brother dead?"
"How could it be cold! Feel it if you don't believe me!"
Diana then placed her hand on Murong Bai's body; wow, it felt so cool...
"Cough~ Sea creatures are naturally cold!"
"Anyway, let's take him back first, I'll treat him!"
The fact that they could detect Murong Bai proves he's still alive, because if he were dead, they wouldn't be able to detect him.
Elua nodded.
"Then—Sister Anna, shall we still catch seafood?"
Diana was speechless. 'Your brother's dead! And you're still catching seafood!'
"We've caught enough, let's go back and grill some to eat!"
"Great--"
Diana doubts whether Murong Bai is really Elua's biological brother; she can't tell at all!
Diana circled around Murong Bai once, and finally chose the thinnest part of his tail, holding onto it as she swam towards the surface of the sea.
Before they had swum very far, the glittering dragon pearl slipped from Murong Bai's claws.
Diana noticed immediately, dropped Murong Bai she was holding, and swam down to carefully catch the Dragon Ball. 'This is a precious item! I can't let it break!'
Elua also came over and reached out to touch the Dragon Ball.
"Sister Anna! This is a Dragon Ball! Daddy treasures it so much, he won't let me play with it!"
Holding the round dragon ball, Diana was curious about its purpose. She used her appraisal skill, but it showed that it could not be appraised, which made her even more curious.
"Does Xiaoya know what this Dragon Ball is used for?"
Elua shook her head.
"I don't know, Father won't tell me."
Diana pondered for a while and came up with a way to both drag Murong Bai into the mess and prevent Elua from going home.
"Does Xiaoya not want to go home?"
Elua nodded frantically.
Diana bounced the dragon ball she was holding.
"Your father treasures this Dragon Ball so much. If your fourth brother loses it, won't your father be very angry?"
Elua touched the Dragon Ball.
"Anna, what are you saying? The Dragon Balls aren't here!"
Diana was speechless.
"I'm talking about 'what if,' you know?"
Elua seemed to be deep in thought.
"Then—Father will be very angry! And then Fourth Brother will get a beating!"
Diana laughed.
"That's how it is! So, do you think your fourth brother still dares to go back?"
"Fourth Brother definitely won't go back to get beaten up! He's not stupid!"
Diana nodded smugly.
"So, all we need to do is hide the Dragon Ball. When your fourth brother wakes up, he won't be able to find it, so he definitely won't dare to go back, and he won't bring Xiaoya home!"
Elua looked at her with admiration.
"Sister Anna, you're so smart!"
Poor Murong Bai, no one cared for him, and he sank to the bottom of the sea again, crashing onto the rocks.
······
Even from a great distance, the sound of the 'nuclear magic' explosion could be heard on the beach.
The girls stopped what they were doing and looked into the depths of the ocean.
"what happened?"
"Anna didn't go fishing with explosives in the sea, did she?!"
"Very likely, this is something she would do!"
As the group chatted idly, a gigantic creature suddenly appeared out of nowhere near the sea. Its long, vertical body, coupled with the horns growing from its head at the base, made it clear without a doubt that it was a dragon! (A large, horned creature is generally referred to as a dragon.)
At first, the group was a little flustered, but when they saw the figure at the tail of the dragon, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Going out to sea to catch seafood and bringing back a dragon—that made perfect sense, right?
Diana placed Murong Bai on the beach, his enormous body causing the soft sand to sink quite a bit.
Several people gathered around, amazed, especially Lilia, whose eyes were shining as she poked Murong Bai's head.
"Sir! We want to grill this and eat it, meow?"
Diana quickly interrupted the spellcasting.
"What are you thinking! You can't eat this!"
Diana took out various kinds of seafood and handed them to the group, asking them to prepare the food.
Diana carefully examined Murong Bai's entire body but found no injuries. She figured he was probably stunned, so she cast two green spells to suspend him above Murong Bai's head.
After doing all that, Diana went to help—or rather, to help with the eating. Of course, you get to enjoy a barbecue by grilling and eating at the same time.
Murong Bai was awakened by a fragrance he had never smelled before. When he woke up, he found that he was drooling all over the floor.
Following the aroma, he saw Diana and Elua eating something with their mouths greasy. He couldn't help but swallow, 'What are they eating? It smells so good!'
Diana noticed the commotion of Murong Bai waking up, and she walked over while eating skewers, withdrawing the magic from the two magic circles.
Diana waved the seafood skewers in front of him.
"So? Are you still going to throw a tantrum?"
Murong Bai seemed to recall something terrible, his whole body trembled, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Diana began to explain:
"I didn't mean to threaten you by doing this. I just wanted to say that you don't need to worry about Xiaoya's safety. I can protect her perfectly well."
"Kids like to play, that's normal. She'll miss home after she's had enough fun outside, and I'll take her back then!"
Murong Bai thought about it carefully and realized it made sense. 'This guy is indeed very strong, so my little sister is definitely not in any danger.'
Seeing that he was starting to relax, Diana waved the barbecue in her hand and continued to deceive him:
"Judging from your appearance, you haven't had much good food, have you? How about trying some?"
Murong Bai looked at the tempting aroma of the grilled skewers waving in front of him, and finally couldn't resist. A flash of light appeared, and his figure quickly shrank, transforming into human form.
Diana looked at Murong Bai, who was dressed as a fair-skinned scholar, and couldn't help but sigh.
"He's quite handsome!"
