Chapter 630: Everything Was Swell

“This idiotic Heavenly Axiom is still as stingy as always.” The System’s good mood vanished the moment it read the notifications.

“Yes, Favorability of Celestial Dragons finally appeared again.” On the contrary, Fang Ning felt glad. “This is already the third year of Shenyuan. I wonder when will we manage to successfully nurture it.”

“Who cares? It’s better if it doesn’t appear, save me from competing in fighting monsters.” The System complained.

“You’re really stupid. If it appears, if we face another monster that we can’t handle, we can pass the responsibility over to it. Then, like this time, sit back, relax, and collect the reward,” said Fang Ning, sharing his insights.

“Eh, won’t we be stealing other people’s BOSS this way then? I’m most familiar and most competent in this.” The System realized immediately.

“Promising student,” stated Fang Ning satisfactorily.

“You’re throwing shade at me again. I’m a one-and-a-half-year-old system with fifty years of work experience. I’m definitely no student...” grumbled the System.

“...” Fang Ning decided never to speak to this idiot ever again.

However, at this moment, Long Fan the Stygian Snake saw that the overall situation was already under control and flew over blatantly.

“Venerable One, long time no see. Is my Big Brother White Dragon in good health recently?” greeted Long Fan.

“Yes, he’s well, very well indeed,” answered Fang Ning for himself, taking over Vigilante A’s body.

“Yes, he fools around and sleeps all day. I can’t think of anyone who can be as well as you are. After all, these days, not even the rich, the powerful, or even the strong can live as comfortably as you do.” The System interrupted.

“Shut up, can’t you see that I’m busy here?” Fang Ning retorted.

“What are you busy with? You’re obviously trying to take in all the glory while I’m the one who killed the monster.” The System saw through everything with his experience.

“Even if I’m being pretentious, I’ll still fight for as many benefits as I can,” Fang Ning was struck in his conscience and could only give in.

“Good, I’ll let you pretend a while longer then,” said the System satisfactorily.

“Uh...” Now that the Poisonous Rainbow Snake has turned to ash, the miniature green dragon froze at the sides as though it was trying to say something but could not. It only stared at Long Fan, hinting at it to bring up the topic.

Long Fan was a clever fellow. He knew exactly what it was thinking.

Long Fan was thick-skinned but lacked Long San’s pride. It said, “Venerable One, my Brother Green Dragon over here has something to ask of you.”

“Right, just now it contributed a lot. If there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll do it,” said Fang Ning.

At that instant, Long Fan recounted Long San’s concerns in detail.

“Yes, after some calculations, it seems like it’s still long before the Descent of the True Dragon...” Fang Ning was not sprouting nonsense. He instructed Anderson early on to emphasize on collecting information related to the True Dragon. Hence, he was very clear on the general direction of the Upper Realm True Dragon.

The Dragon body cultivated by the System would naturally be an authentic True Dragon.

However, under their draconian brand, both he and the System launched the production of many treasures and pills with the True Dragon’s name. So, naturally, he had to find out everything about it.

“Venerable One, you’re right. It’s just that I’ve had a hunch recently–I don’t know why–that the real body might descend earlier than expected. At that time, I probably will die without leaving a trace,” said Long San worriedly.

Every double had their independent wants and needs... It was no exception.

No matter double or incarnation, they could naturally assist the true body to avoid danger, yet their existence was one of the threats to the true body.

After all, as long as conscience existed, it would always want to have independent thoughts.

“Do you know why your original body is descending earlier than expected?” asked Fang Ning curiously.

“Perhaps it’s because I haven’t been returning messages. If the initiator isn’t doing well, then the real deal shows up...” answered the miniature green dragon uncertainly.

Hearing that, Fang Ning nodded his head strongly.

That was true, was it not?

Not just this miniature green dragon, there was another fellow who was not returning any news at all too.

After being independent, the Dragon Carp definitely stopped sending information to the Upper Realm.

It placed all its thoughts on fawning over Vigilante A and filling up its little treasure vault...

Why would it have the heart to think for those True Dragons who plundered its collection of treasures?

“Then you should first send some news. Now, the Earth is just beginning to develop; it still can’t support too many superpowers. Delay it as many days as possible.” Fang Ning responded without a second thought.

“Well, Mr. Rich Boss, you’re showing your true self again,” said the System patronizingly.

“All of them are facts, alright?” Fang Ning defended himself.

“I’ve thought about this too. I’m just unsure what news should I be sending. It won’t be good if they descend quicker after receiving the news,” said Long San hesitatingly.

“Simple, just tell them that everything is swell down here. The people are living contently; business is thriving; everyone’s embracing the changes brought by the Era of Vitality...” Fang Ning blurted out a bunch of reasons, stunning both Long San and Long Fan.

“Uh, Mr. Rich Guy, I didn’t expect you to still have this up your sleeve?” The System was surprised too.

“It’s a long story. I can only tell you that I’ve created a lot of websites for various business...” Fang Ning said with lingering fear in his voice.

“I don’t understand. Is this viable, though?”

“Of course, isn’t the True Dragon the protector of the world? Since the Lower Realm is rather safe, they won’t have to rush to descend. After all, the later they descend, less energy will be lost,” said Fang Ning sternly.

“I realize that you’re contradicting yourself. Didn’t you just said that you wish your ancestors descend earlier... Now why don’t you wish for them to descend earlier anymore?” asked the System in confusion.

“You’re really dumb, truly. I can only tell you this–one of them is our people; the other one is an outsider. Of course, I’ll wish for my people to descend earlier, and the outsiders to descend later.” Fang Ning felt very proud of his higher intellect.

No matter how much more experienced the System was, it could never win against Fang Ning in intellect. Its core had already decided for it to be a naive and practical system...

It was at this moment that the miniature green dragon displayed a face of regret.

“If only I haven’t been sleeping my days off. How could it not occur to me that I could bluff them in this way?” Long San felt depressed.

Otherwise, it would not have had to spent his last days in fear.

Long Fan said patronizingly, “Before this, you’re always as proud as a peacock and as lazy as a toad. You only care about sleeping, how can you even come up with this solution? The Venerable One is very knowledgeable, and he understands the nature of dragons the most. That’s why he can address the issue so well.”

“Yes, yes, thank you for your guidance, Venerable One.” The miniature green dragon was in a good mood after receiving help.

Truly, two heads were better than one. This incident that had plagued its mind for so long was finally solved with the help of the scumbag snake demon, Long Fan.

Therefore, after giving it some thought, it retrieved a pill with its claw and said to Long Fan proudly, “You’ve done well this time. This pill was the deposit given to me by the Venerable One previously. I’m giving you one.”

Seeing that, Long Fan’s eyes shone. It snatched the pill with its claws and swallowed it whole.

Yes, it cultivated the ability taught by Qiao Zijiang. Even though it had a snake’s body, it was still a snake with legs...

Then, Long San bowed and nodded at Vigilante A. It said, “After this, we’ll still have to trouble Venerable One to protect us. To thank you for your kindness, I’ve decided to provide ambergris to you for free from now onwards.”

System Notification: [The System took over the Host’s body.]

“Yes, it’s good that you understand the concept of gratitude. Not bad, I’ll grant you your wish,” said Vigilante A in a tone full of righteousness.

“Yes, yes, thank you for the compliment, Venerable One.” Long San did not feel that it had been taken advantage of at all.

One should know that in the Upper Realm, many tried to shower the powerful with gifts but to no avail. They could only depend on ambergris in exchange for long term protection. Even so, it was worthwhile.

Its arrogant nature was undeniably inherited from the True Dragons, yet it also depended on whom it was dealing with.

The person in front of it right now was no one other than the true embodiment of the legendary True Dragon. What right did it have to be arrogant?

It was afraid that once the True Dragon Leader descended, it too had to grovel at his feet.
