252: Greedy Dragon

Next to this quiet and cold Frigid Pond, this pile of glittering objects was even more attractive to a Flood Dragon than the sun!

"Gulp!"

Little White Flood Dragon clearly heard the sound of itself swallowing.

It had lived in this Secret Realm for over a hundred years,

and had seen some scattered fragments of Magic Treasures or treasures occupied by powerful Yao Beasts,

but those things were either tattered or it simply didn't dare to approach them.

This pile right in front of it... was all complete! Sparkling! Emitting an alluring Treasure Qi!

Its small claws extended uncontrollably, then quickly retracted,

scratching against the stone, making a "scratching" sound.

Its body leaned slightly forward, and the tip of its tail wagged rapidly due to excitement.

Its large, ice-blue eyes were fixed on the pile of treasures, unable to look away for even a moment.

The sight of it wanting the treasures but not daring to take them, craving them desperately, was utterly comical.

Yao Delong noticed Little White Flood Dragon's reaction out of the corner of his eye and chuckled internally—he had guessed correctly!

Dragons are inherently greedy, and Flood Dragons, possessing some Dragon Clan Bloodline, had zero resistance to glittering treasures!

He deliberately gave a light cough, drawing Little White Flood Dragon's complete attention.

"Hmm?" Yao Delong picked up a perfectly cut, fist-sized Low-Grade Spirit Stone,

weighed it in his hand, causing the crisp sound of colliding Spirit Stones,

and looked "confusedly" at Little White Flood Dragon. "You want this?"

Little White Flood Dragon nodded its head like a chick pecking at rice.

Its small eyes were filled with desire, completely lacking the arrogance of "this King."

"You want it, huh..."

Yao Delong drew out his words, a "troubled" expression on his face. "Well, that depends on your performance."

Performance? Little White Flood Dragon's small mind spun rapidly.

The next second, under the astonished gaze of the crowd, it "swooshed" out from behind the stone,

transforming into a streak of white light and flying over to Yao Delong's side.

"Big Brother! Wise and mighty, imposing and dignified, handsome and refined, invincible under heaven, the peerless Big Brother!"

Little White Flood Dragon used its clear and tender voice,

shouting out flattering titles that nearly gave Yao Delong goosebumps, completely without psychological burden.

Its two small claws quickly began massaging Yao Delong's leg.

The force was gentle, carrying a hint of icy Cold Qi, and was surprisingly comfortable.

"Big Brother, are you tired? This King... oh no, Little White will massage your shoulders!

Big Brother, are you thirsty? Little White will fetch some Frigid Pond Water for you? Big Brother, you..."

While diligently "serving," its little mouth chattered incessantly, spitting out all the complimentary words it could think of,

words it had overheard from other Yao Beasts. The richness of its vocabulary,

and the fawning attitude made Lin Shishi, Xiao Huohuo, and the others nearby unable to hold back, erupting into loud laughter.

"Hahaha! This little guy is too genuine!" Xiao Huohuo laughed, slapping his thigh.

"Truly... seeing money opens its eyes."

Lin Qingxue's cold lips couldn't help but curl up, a hint of helpless amusement in her eyes.

Han Yun and Yue Shan also couldn't help but laugh, watching this rascal.

Yao Delong was left dumbfounded by its sudden "enthusiasm,"

and quickly raised his hand to stop its disorganized "massage."

"That's enough, that's enough."

Yao Delong pointed at the pile of glittering Spirit Stones and Magic Treasures on the ground.

"Come with us, and all these things will be yours."

"Really?!"

Little White Flood Dragon's eyes instantly burst forth with light brighter than the sun!

It looked at Yao Delong, then at the pile of treasures, its small face filled with ecstasy and a final hint of struggle.

Reason screamed: Humans are cunning! There might be a trick! But the temptation of this glittering pile in front of it was simply too great!

That light seemed to carry a magical power, instantly shattering its last line of defense!

"I don't care! I'll grab them first and worry about it later!"

Impulse completely overwhelmed reason.

Little White Flood Dragon let out an excited shriek, turned into a streak of white light, and plunged headfirst into the pile of Spirit Stones and Magic Treasures!

"Wow! So comfortable! So beautiful!"

It rolled around in the pile of Spirit Stones, using its fine scales to feel the icy touch of the stones.

Its small claws picked up a short sword inlaid with sapphires, which it fondled lovingly.

It then used its tail to coil up a string of shimmering Jade Bead Necklaces, putting them around its tiny neck,

gazing at its reflection in the water repeatedly, letting out satisfied hums.

The sight of it intoxicated with enjoyment, looking as if it owned the whole world, made everyone laugh again.

Yao Delong watched Little White Flood Dragon frolicking in the "Mountain of Treasure,"

a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, and he spoke again:

"Little fellow, if you take my things, then from now on, we are family.

We share the good fortune and bear the hardship together."

"Family?" Little White Flood Dragon, who was rubbing itself against several Spirit Stones, suddenly stopped moving.

This word was too foreign to it.

Since hatching, it had been alone in this Frigid Pond. The Yao Beasts it encountered either coveted its Frigid Pond and Spirit Medicine,

or wanted to use it as a snack. Its life was filled with deceit, conflict, and indifference.

Never... no being had ever said "family" to it, let alone given it so many glittering treasures!

An indescribable warm current, accompanied by immense grievance, instantly breached the dam of its young heart.

"Woo... Wah..."

Little White Flood Dragon suddenly burst into loud sobs, its crystalline tears rolling down like ice crystals.

It tossed aside the Spirit Stones in its embrace and suddenly rushed to Yao Delong's feet,

rubbing its small head against his trousers, weeping and complaining with snot and tears:

"Wuwuwu... Big Brother, you're so nice! Ten thousand times better than those bad Yao Beasts!

They... they all bully me and steal my things... Wuwu... From now on, we're family!

I... This King... Little White will protect you from now on! If anyone dares to bully you, Little White will bite them to death!"

While weeping hysterically, it didn't forget to wave its small claws,

trying hard to look "ferocious." However, its tearful childlike voice and tear-stained face

held no deterrence, making it seem even more pitiful and adorable.

The crowd watched this little fellow, whose emotions fluctuated wildly and who was genuinely adorable, their laughter now carrying a bit more warmth and pity.

"Haha, alright, we'll rely on Little White to protect us from now on!" Xiao Huohuo teased with a laugh.

"Yes, family."

Lin Shishi looked at Little White Flood Dragon gently, her eyes full of affection.

Lin Qingxue also nodded slightly, her cold gaze softening considerably.

Yao Delong smiled and rubbed Little White Flood Dragon's icy little head:

"You don't need to protect us. We'll go Seize Treasures together later.

You just need to contribute your strength, and the benefits certainly won't be lacking for you."

"Benefits?!"

Little White Flood Dragon's crying stopped abruptly. It lifted its tear-streaked face,

and its large, ice-blue eyes were instantly lit up by the word "benefits," shining with a radiance even more dazzling than when it saw the Spirit Stones!

"Are there really more benefits? More than this?"

It pointed its small claw at the "Mountain of Treasure" on the ground.

"Of course, as long as you have the ability to take them." Yao Delong nodded affirmatively.

"Good! It's a deal! Little White will definitely contribute! Who should we fight? Let's go now!"

Little White Flood Dragon instantly became spirited and full of fighting intent, its small tail whipping loudly.

There was no trace left of its weeping appearance; it was completely transformed into a small money grubber hyped up by the promise of "benefits."

Everyone was once again amused by the speed of its mood change, and at the same time, they were full of anticipation for the addition of this little fellow.

As a descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Flood Dragon, even in its infancy, its potential was absolutely astonishing.
