246: Chapter 246 The True Dragon Hatches! The Gluttonous Little Ancestor, the Ten Thousand Mountains Are in Crisis

The cracks on the surface of the black clay pot grew larger and larger, and a dazzling golden light illuminated the entire courtyard as if it were broad daylight.

Accompanying the golden light was a crisp and tender, yet infinitely majestic dragon's roar!

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

Through the widening cracks, a giant egg covered in golden scales, about the size of an ostrich egg, lay quietly at the bottom of the pot.

"The old poison wretch from Miao Jiang actually hid a living True Dragon egg in his hands?"

Su Yang carefully took out the True Dragon egg and placed it in the center of the stone table.

The surface of the dragon egg was covered in complex and mysterious golden patterns; with every flicker, it frantically devoured the dense Spiritual Qi from the surroundings.

Bai Li leaned forward, her purple eyes filled with shock.

"Hubby, this thing is definitely a pure descendant of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. The Dragon Clan vanished during the ancient catastrophe; where on earth did that old poison wretch find such a divine object?"

Su Yang shook his head: "Whatever the source, it belongs to this young master now."

He extended his right hand, and a ball of warm Pure Yang True Fire emerged from his palm, gently enveloping the dragon egg.

As soon as the Pure Yang True Fire made contact, the life fluctuations inside the dragon egg instantly became a hundred times more intense. Tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the golden scales, and the crisp sound of shattering was exceptionally clear in the silent courtyard.

"Crack! Crack!"

The top of the eggshell shattered completely, and a head, carved from pink jade and adorned with two small golden dragon horns, poked out.

The little fellow was only the size of a local dog, its body covered in soft, fine golden scales. A pair of watery big eyes rolled around, curiously observing the surroundings.

When its gaze fell upon Su Yang, a hint of affection immediately flashed in its eyes.

"Awoo~"

The little golden dragon let out a tender, milky cry, kicked its hind legs, leapt directly from the stone table, and pounced accurately into Su Yang's embrace.

Su Yang steadily caught the soft little thing. The little golden dragon stuck out its pink tongue and licked Su Yang's palm pleasingly, rubbing against the Pure Yang True Qi with a face full of enjoyment.

"It's even a little female dragon." Su Yang smiled and casually pinched the little golden dragon's fleshy horns.

Hearing new movement in the courtyard, Ye Yuqing, who had just finished working in the kitchen, walked out carrying a plate of washed fruit.

Today, she was wearing a black, tight-fitting hip-hugging OL outfit, her legs wrapped in seductive black silk stockings, walking with a swaying grace in high heels.

"Boss, what a cute little animal! What breed of mutated lizard is this?"

Seeing the glittering little fellow in Su Yang's arms, Ye Yuqing's maternal instincts flooded out, and she reached out her fair finger, wanting to give it a pat.

Upon hearing the word 'lizard', the little golden dragon immediately became unhappy. It turned its head, bared its sharp little teeth at Ye Yuqing, and opened its mouth.

"Whoosh!"

A ball of golden flame, only the size of a fingernail, shot out.

Although the flame was small, its temperature was terrifyingly high; it flew right past Ye Yuqing's finger and landed on the corner of the nearby stone table. A large section of the hard bluestone tabletop was instantly scorched red, turning into molten lava that dripped down.

"Aiyee!"

Ye Yuqing was frightened out of her wits and retreated repeatedly, her proud curves heaving violently.

Su Yang pressed down on the little golden dragon's head and gave it a frustrated slap.

"Don't be naughty. This is the cook responsible for making your meals. If you annoy her, she'll make you go hungry every day from now on."

The little golden dragon seemed to understand Su Yang's threat. It immediately withdrew the flame, lowered its head pitifully, and made a whimpering, pleasing sound toward Ye Yuqing.

At that moment, two gusts of Yin wind blew from the backyard.

Su Qingcheng, dressed in fire-red, and Jiang Yingxue, in a classical bridal gown, descended like two streaks of light.

They had just received their Storage Rings and were preparing for closed-door cultivation, but they were startled by this pure dragon prestige and both came out to investigate.

"Master, what happened?" Su Qingcheng held her long sword, her beautiful face full of alertness, a patch of snowy white vaguely visible at the collar of her red clothes.

Jiang Yingxue furrowed her delicate brows, her gaze fixed on the little golden dragon as she gasped.

"Pure dragon prestige... If this thing reaches adulthood, its strength will likely be earth-shattering."

Mary also flew down from the roof, retracted her bat wings, and swallowed a large mouthful of saliva.

"Boss, does dragon blood taste good? Can I just have one tiny sip? I promise I won't bite it to death."

Mary stared at the little golden dragon as if she were looking at a top-tier Michelin feast.

Sensing hostility, the little golden dragon's golden scales immediately stood on end, and a low warning growl issued from its throat, as if it were ready to fight for its life at any moment.

Su Yang backhanded a slap onto Mary's highly elastic buttock, producing a crisp sound.

"Don't even think about it. This is a newborn True Dragon; from now on, it's our courtyard's guardian Divine Beast. Anyone who dares to target it, I'll throw them into Da Hei's mouth as fertilizer."

Mary rubbed her bottom and gave Su Yang a coquettish glare: "Stingy boss, if I can't drink it, then I won't. You hit me so hard it hurts."

Su Qingcheng snorted coldly: "Vampires are so crude, their heads are only filled with drinking blood. Master, since the little divine dragon has recognized you as its master, why don't I, Qingcheng, teach it sword techniques?"

Jiang Yingxue covered her mouth and chuckled: "Sister, don't be silly. The True Dragon race is born with knowledge of dragon Spells; why would it need to learn mortal sword techniques?"

Su Qingcheng rolled her eyes at her and puffed out her high chest: "I'm doing this to share Master's burdens."

Su Yang waved his hand to stop the women's bickering.

"Are you all so idle? Qingcheng, Yingxue, take your resources and get back to the backyard for closed-door cultivation. Don't come out until you reach the Ghost King Realm."

The two female Ghost Generals stuck out their tongues and obediently slipped away as Yin winds.

Ji Ruxue, wearing a semi-transparent gauze dharma robe, approached with an exaggerated sway of her water-snake waist.

She intentionally pressed her hot body against Su Yang's arm, her dark red peach-blossom eyes full of shock.

"Master's opportunities are Heaven-Defying, to even be able to take a divine object like a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon into your possession. this servant has truly followed the right person."

Chu Ling, in an ice-blue long dress, drifted over, her frost-cold face rarely showing a hint of curiosity. She extended a finger as fair as jade and gently poked the little golden dragon's belly. Not only did the little golden dragon not hide, but it also comfortably rolled over, exposing its soft belly for Chu Ling to stroke.

The extreme Yin aura of the Unmelting Bone didn't seem to have any effect on it.

"Gurgle..."

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from the little golden dragon's stomach. It looked up pitifully and pointed at its belly with its small golden claws.

"Hungry right after birth?"

Su Yang was somewhat helpless. He casually picked up a Low Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword from the pile of loot on the table and held it to the little golden dragon's mouth.

"Eat up."

The women were all dumbfounded. Feeding an iron sword to a newborn pet?

As it turned out, the little golden dragon's eyes lit up. It grabbed the Flying Sword with its two front claws and opened its mouth.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The Flying Sword made of refined steel was like a crispy cracker in its mouth, and it was gnawed clean in just a few bites. After finishing, it smacked its lips as if wanting more, its gaze fixed directly on the mountain of Spirit Stones piled on the table.

Su Yang's mouth twitched. Good grief, this wasn't just a Divine Beast; it was a bona fide gold-swallowing beast.

"Yuqing, go to the warehouse and bring a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones for its snacks. From now on, you'll be entirely responsible for this little fellow's meals."

Ye Yuqing walked out carrying a wooden tray piled high with over a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, overflowing with Spiritual Qi.

The little golden dragon cheered and jumped directly into the tray, taking bite after bite as if eating crispy apples, swallowing all the incredibly hard Spirit Stones into its stomach.

As the Spirit Stones entered its stomach, the golden scales on the little fellow's body became even brighter, and the two dragon horns on its head even emitted wisps of materialized lightning.

"It really is a bottomless pit. Thanks to Boss robbing another fortune just now, otherwise our family really wouldn't be able to afford this little ancestor." Ye Yuqing clicked her tongue in amazement as she looked at the empty tray. Her legs, wrapped in black silk, couldn't help but press together slightly, feeling a bit weak from the pressure of the True Dragon's aura.

Having dealt with the little golden dragon's trivial matters, Su Yang sat back down in his rocking chair.

He categorized the remaining loot and stored it in the System space. The wealth of the six Golden Core Stage old monsters was very substantial; there were over a million Low-Grade Spirit Stones alone, and several thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Various Magical Artifacts and Talismans were even more numerous.

With this batch of resources, the Spirit Gathering Formation in the courtyard could be directly upgraded by a major level.

Bai Li brought a cup of hot tea to Su Yang, a hint of worry flashing in her purple eyes.

"Hubby, the Grand Elder of Miao Jiang is dead, and the Alliance of evil cultivators has been wiped out. Once word of this spreads, the entire Cultivation World will be shaken. I'm afraid even more old monsters will set their sights on Jiangzhou."

Su Yang took a sip of tea and let out a cold laugh.

"I'll kill as many as they send. I was just worried that Da Hei didn't have enough fertilizer; if enemies line up to deliver themselves to my door, it saves me the trouble of looking for them."

He possessed a cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, combined with his Pure Yang Body and a courtyard full of peerless powerhouses. The cultivation Schools of the secular world were nothing more than chickens and dogs in his eyes.

Just as the family was chatting.

A sudden, ear-piercing sound of slamming brakes came from outside the alley.

A battered black off-road vehicle slammed to a halt in front of the courtyard gate, and the door was kicked open.

A man covered in blood and wearing a special forces uniform stumbled over and fell to his knees outside the vermillion gate with a thud.

"Consultant Su! Help!"

The man's voice was hoarse, filled with deep despair. There was even a terrifying, bone-deep laceration on his left arm.

Su Yang's brow furrowed, and his Divine Sense instantly swept past the gate. This person was exactly the close confidant of Li Changfeng from Bureau 749.

The gate opened automatically.

The man scrambled into the courtyard and kowtowed frantically before Su Yang.

"Consultant Su, Director Li is in trouble! He led a team to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to wipe out the remnants of the evil cultivators, but they were ambushed!"

"An entire elite squad of a hundred men was wiped out. Director Li is trapped deep within the Poisonous Miasma Valley, and his life is in the balance! Please, I beg you to save him!"

Su Yang set down his tea cup, his voice flat.

"Tell me exactly what happened. Old Man Li is a Transcendent Grandmaster after all, and he took a hundred fully armed special forces elites. How could he be trapped by a group of defeated remnants?"

The man swallowed hard, his eyes full of terror.

"An Ancient Teleportation Formation is hidden in the Poisonous Miasma Valley! When Director Li led the team in, the Formation suddenly activated. Countless green-furred Flying Corpses swarmed out from the Formation; they were impervious to blades and spears, and even rocket launchers couldn't blow them apart."

"Director Li fought desperately to cover the rear, only managing to protect me as I broke through the encirclement to seek help. Consultant Su, if you don't go, all the brothers will be finished!"

A cold killing intent flashed in the depths of Su Yang's eyes.

The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the Poisonous Miasma Valley.

It just so happens that the Yin Sha Sect's nest is right there. this young master was just worrying about not having a reason to stretch his limbs, and now someone has proactively stuck their neck out.
