Chapter 9: A Great Day?
Chapter 9: A Great Day?
“……” Zheng Yichen looked with a helpless expression at the Little Lolita who had been stroking his Scales from the beginning until now. Honestly, shouldn’t a cute little girl like this be obsessed with large stuffed animals?
He had found a pond to look at his reflection. Probably because he was not yet an adult, he didn’t look fierce, but he wasn’t particularly handsome either. Definitely not the type children would like!
There it was again!
He accidentally saw the mottled, bloody marks appear again on the Little Lolita’s arm after she took off her glove. Zheng Yichen couldn’t help rubbing his eyes and looking again, but he still found nothing. It was just like an illusion, but this was the second time it had happened.
“You can see it?” The Little Lolita noticed Zheng Yichen’s gaze and gently waved her small hand in front of him. As her arm moved, those mottled, bloody marks appeared once more. It was not an illusion!
They truly existed, but they were hard to see unless he focused extra attention… The mottled, bloody marks gave Zheng Yichen a strange feeling. They didn’t seem dangerous, but then again, they felt extremely dangerous.
Seeing Zheng Yichen’s confused look, the Little Lolita slightly shook her head and didn’t say anything more. Without solving the language problem, talking was meaningless.
“What should I do next?” Bored, Zheng Yichen lazily lay on the ground. After a night, the wounds on his limbs had not fully healed, but they no longer affected his ability to move.
He must have been brought here by this mysterious Little Lolita. But back then, he was surrounded by over two hundred fully armed people. How did she manage it?… At the same time, Zheng Yichen was even more puzzled about why there wasn’t a single person left in this Town.
While he was lazily spacing out, the Little Lolita wasn’t idle either. She walked around him twice and finally stopped next to his left claw, which was resting on the ground. Staring at the wound on his arm, she pressed a slender finger against it without any hesitation!
“……” What was she doing?
Stimulated by the slight pain, Zheng Yichen looked up. The sense of touch in his Dragon Body was no worse than a human’s, and his tolerance for pain was also very high. Even though the thin, newly healed skin over the wound had been lightly broken, to him it just felt like a mosquito bite.
The Little Lolita stared somewhat blankly at the drop of Dragon Blood on her finger, then noticed Zheng Yichen’s gaze. For the first time, she showed a sweet smile. Just as Zheng Yichen felt his heart soften a little, her next action shattered that feeling.
She put the finger stained with blood into her mouth. Not only that, she also showed a somewhat intoxicated expression, like a child who had just eaten the best candy.
The sweet smile on the Little Lolita’s face gradually twisted in Zheng Yi’s eyes. The sudden change made him blink hard. Okay, it felt like another illusion.
This Little Lolita was really weird!
“What a… great day.” The Little Lolita withdrew her finger from her mouth and glanced at Zheng Yichen’s wound again. Under the influence of the medicine, his injury was healing quickly. Even the broken Scales had partially regenerated overnight. Such recovery power was something even an Adult Dragon might not have.
Broken skin was easy to deal with; a dragon’s recovery power would heal it quickly. But Scales took much longer to regenerate.
No Dragon’s Aura, no Inherited Memory, and he could even ignore the dangerous traits on her body… The Little Lolita thought of a slight possibility. Whether it was true or not needed further confirmation.
First, she needed to solve the communication problem. She would wait until this dragon fell asleep. When Zheng Yichen was surrounded before, she had been watching from the sidelines. She had some understanding of the power traits he displayed, such as the most eye-catching act of grabbing Magic with his bare hands.
Released Magic could be dispersed, absorbed, redirected, or even countered. But examples of grabbing it with bare hands were rare. Even rarer were cases where, after grabbing the Magic, one could physically control it!
That was Magic, not a thrown weapon from an enemy.
When Zheng Yichen grabbed that Fireball back then, he didn’t use any Magic-related power. He simply closed his claw physically, compressing and strengthening that Fireball, increasing its power significantly for an enhanced Fireball.
The principle… was currently unknown.
What she could observe was that after Zheng Yichen grabbed the Fireball, it seemed to be isolated by something around his claw. It was a special, one-sided isolation. The outside world could still connect with the Fireball, but the connection was only one-way.
To describe it specifically… it was a non-physical, high-level theft!
He completely stole the essence of that Fireball, cutting off its connection with the original caster and even the world itself!
Otherwise, when she became interested and tried to interfere with that Fireball slightly at that time, it wouldn’t have failed. Although the subsequent interference succeeded, it was only after Zheng Yichen threw the Fireball out again.
After he threw it out, that Fireball seemed like a brand new one, with no connection to the original caster. Without the caster’s connection, interfering with such released Magic should have been easier.
Yet, when she tried to reduce the Fireball’s power by about 5% through interference, the actual reduction was less than 2%.
Such a special power display… was it an Innate Ability or something else? Tapping Zheng Yichen’s claw, the Little Lolita pondered. Although the Dragon Clan was powerful, they were almost equal to others in some aspects. One of those equal aspects was Innate Abilities.
The nature of such abilities was subtle, and the types that appeared were very special. For example, some people naturally got an extra boost in a certain element when casting spells. This type of Talent was common, simply called Elemental Affinity. More special ones could communicate with animals, for instance.
But such Talents had their pros and cons… Communicating with animals? A Druid could do that too.
Most Talents allowed their owners to achieve higher accomplishments in a certain area. But someone as special as Zheng Yichen… she was seeing for the first time. His “Talent” seemed not only related to his body but also had a significant connection with his Soul. Otherwise, her interference with the Fireball wouldn’t have been less effective.
Noticing the Little Lolita’s increasingly dangerous look, Zheng Yichen instinctively shifted his body to the side. From any angle, her gaze gave off the feeling that she wanted to dissect him!
