182: Milad's request

Ye Xiao was outside, exploring the Self-Destruct Art he had just acquired.

Meanwhile, in the Red Moon Space...

Milad opened his aged eyes, his expression bewildered as he looked at the golden figure before him.

For a moment, he wondered if he was experiencing a hallucination just before his death.

Otherwise, how could he be witnessing such a bizarre scene?

He actually saw a dragon!

And it was a Golden Dragon!

More importantly, this dragon wasn't very large, and upon seeing him, it very politely greeted him.

"Hello there! Poor Meiya People."

"Slap!"

Milad suddenly slapped himself hard.

As a result, a burning pain spread through his face.

It wasn't a hallucination?

At this moment, Little Gold, standing opposite him, looked at Milad with curious, round, black eyes.

"You're truly pitiful. Abusing yourself like this every day, aren't you afraid of causing problems?"

Milad's mouth hung open, his face full of disbelief, "You can talk?"

Little Gold was furious, "You lowly creature, do you look down on this dragon?"

"Are you really a dragon?" Milad asked, stunned.

"This dragon is a genuine Golden Dragon, Meiya People. Shouldn't you be worshipping me upon seeing me?" Little Gold said proudly.

"Golden Dragon?" Milad's old face wrinkled as he muttered a few words.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, his previously dull eyes widened abruptly, and he pointed at Little Gold in extreme shock.

"Dragon... a Golden Dragon!!! The legendary Golden Sacred Beast!!!"

Little Gold seemed to enjoy Milad's shocked expression.

You see, when he first met Ye Xiao, he had offered to be his pet, but that bad guy had actually looked disgusted.

That had severely disheartened Little Gold at the time, making him think his reputation wasn't impressive enough.

Now, seeing Milad's reaction, Little Gold was relieved.

It wasn't that he wasn't famous; it was that Ye Xiao didn't appreciate his worth.

Hmph!

Seeing Milad's understanding reaction, Little Gold planned to have a good conversation with him.

However, before he could speak, Milad suddenly vanished.

Little Gold was stunned, then realized that Ye Xiao had pulled this Meiya People out.

---

Outside.

Milad, still caught between excitement and shock, didn't have time to express his thoughts before he found himself beside Ye Xiao again.

Upon seeing Ye Xiao, for some reason, Milad suddenly let out a huge sigh of relief.

"I knew it, that was a hallucination just now. Sure enough, you and I died together."

Ye Xiao looked at Milad strangely, "What's this about dying? We're both perfectly alive."

"Alright, don't comfort me. The attack launched by that guardian beast just now was simply beyond human resistance. This is good too; although I haven't known you long, being a ghost alone is a bit lonely. Now we can be companions."

"Let me tell you, you absolutely won't guess what I saw just before I died. That hallucination was too real; I actually encountered the legendary Golden Dragon."

"Do you know what a Golden Dragon is? Looking at you, you definitely don't. I'll tell you, the Golden Dragon is one of the Seven Sacred Beasts of the Eternal Continent, the most powerful existence on the Eternal Continent."

"But it's a bit strange; the Golden Dragon I just saw seemed to differ a bit from the historical records I've read. If you didn't look closely, you might even think it was a four-legged insect. Tsk tsk!"

Milad was full of excitement, talking endlessly to Ye Xiao, completely unconcerned about his own 'death'.

However, just then, Little Gold's figure suddenly floated beside Ye Xiao.

Upon hearing Milad's words, he immediately opened his mouth and bit Milad's arm.

"Ah!!!"

A piercing scream rang out.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

Ye Xiao was somewhat speechless.

However, he understood Milad's actions.

Just as he decided to endure the Nether Rock Serpent's self-destruction, he had casually pulled the terrified and disoriented Milad into the Red Moon Space.

Originally, he had only tried it as an experiment; under normal circumstances, if the target had a repulsive psychological state, Ye Xiao would not have been able to succeed.

Fortunately, Milad had been too scared to think at that moment.

So Ye Xiao easily pulled him in.

If Milad had even a shred of rationality, it wouldn't have worked.

Ye Xiao could only say that Milad had a very tough life.

As for exposing Little Gold and the Red Moon Space, Ye Xiao didn't care.

Even if the news got out, it wouldn't significantly affect him.

However, through Milad's previous understanding of the Nether Rock Serpent, it was clear that he also had some knowledge of exotic treasures.

Ye Xiao was definitely interested in exotic treasures, so he didn't want anything to happen to Milad.

Next, Ye Xiao really put in a lot of effort to make Milad realize that he wasn't dead.

And Milad, having fully recovered, still found it difficult to calm his emotions.

But Ye Xiao couldn't wait any longer. He directly grabbed Milad and said:

"Since you know about exotic treasures, do you know where they are?"

Milad said with a wry smile, "This is my first time encountering a guardian beast; how could I possibly know?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Xiao's eyes, but then Milad thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know, I have read some prehistoric ancient books, and my decades of research on the Xiling Ancient Clan allow me to make an educated guess."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao's eyes rekindled with the light of hope.

Seeing this, Milad suddenly said, "I can do my best to help you find that exotic treasure, and even if it's found, the exotic treasure will be yours, but you must agree to one condition of mine."

"What condition?" Ye Xiao frowned slightly.

Milad glanced at Little Gold, who was lazily lying on the ground, his expression suddenly becoming a bit lewd. He unconsciously rubbed his hands together, then chuckled and said:

"It's very simple. When the exotic treasure is found, you have to lend it to me for a bit of research. This will be of great help to my studies."

"No problem." Ye Xiao agreed without even thinking. Everything could wait until the exotic treasure was found. As for whether to give it to him then, that would depend on the situation.

At this point, Milad continued, "Besides that, can you... lend me your pet for a bit of research?"

"Those are two conditions." Ye Xiao rolled his eyes.

However, Milad said righteously, "It's all research, so it's just one condition."

Ye Xiao couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He kicked Little Gold beside him and said directly, "Perfect. Didn't you say you were always bored? Now I've found you a talking companion, so you can keep him company."

Milad watched Ye Xiao treat Little Gold so roughly, and immediately glared at Ye Xiao.

"What are you doing? That's the legendary Golden Dragon, an incredibly precious existence! How can you treat it so roughly?"

Ye Xiao was startled, but Little Gold, on the ground, nodded in strong agreement upon hearing this.

"Meiya People, you're very good. You know this dragon's preciousness, unlike that bad guy, he doesn't take me seriously at all."

"He's an idiot; how would he understand these things?" Milad said with some heartache.

Ye Xiao couldn't be bothered to respond. With a wave of his hand, he sent the man and the dragon into the Red Moon Space.

He then took the exploration compass from Milad's hand and walked inside.

According to Milad's analysis, the exotic treasure should be in the Xiling Ruins.

It was on the way.
