Chapter 55 - 54: Beat into an Indian Flying Pancake

Chu Liangyu glanced at it. The bracelet was made of wood and carved with a few patterns.

It looked simple and unadorned. Even if someone saw it, they would just think she had carved it herself.

Chu Liangyu was very pleased with the bracelet’s appearance. This was great; she finally had a place to put all her odds and ends.

The Storage Bracelet was already bound to her by Divine Sense the moment it came into her hands, which saved Chu Liangyu the trouble.

She focused her mind and probed inside. The space was about the size of a classroom, which was more than enough for her current needs.

From the Defense Magic Robe to the daggers, everything was something Chu Liangyu genuinely needed. It was clear just how considerate the modified Trading System was.

This was so much better than the old Childbirth System, which always gave her bizarre toiletries or useless trinkets for "cultivating her sentiments."

It even gave her sex toys. The mere thought of that reward from the Childbirth System made Chu Liangyu feel sick.

If that Childbirth System had a physical form, Chu Liangyu would have turned it into an Indian flatbread without a second thought.

But the current system’s consciousness had been erased, turning it into a pure utility tool.

So, all Chu Liangyu could do was think about it.

Chu Liangyu was basking in the joy of her new acquisition when a sound like a bull’s bellow suddenly rang in her ears.

The low, rumbling sound carried a terrifying pressure that made one’s heart tremble.

Chu Liangyu stood up, the joy on her face fading away and replaced by a serious expression.

"This... is probably a Dragon Roar."

The Dragon Roar continued unabated as dark clouds swarmed the sky. Without warning, rain pelted down.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. In the next instant, they were packing up their stalls and rushing toward awnings or houses to take shelter from the rain.

"Sister Liangyu, we should also find a place to take cover."

Chu Liangyu was protected by her Mid Tier Defense Magic Robe, so not a drop of rain touched her.

But the sound gave her a premonition that something bad was about to happen. Frowning, Chu Liangyu said, "Alright."

But at a time like this, everyone was looking for shelter, so there was basically no free space for them to enter.

After a long while of stopping and starting, they finally found a dilapidated house.

Perhaps because it was far from the center of Ten Thousand Beasts City, only a few people were taking shelter inside.

Chu Liangyu glanced at the little cub on her shoulder, poked his head with her finger, and asked, "Is that the sound of your Beast Father?"

The little cub was a newborn and couldn’t speak yet, but he could understand what others were saying.

He tilted his head as if in thought. After a long moment, he nodded with some uncertainty.

’Cang Yu protects his only cub like the apple of his eye. If he sees the broken eggshell, he’ll probably think the little guy is dead.’

’Judging by that cry, it sounds like he’s filled with grief.’

’This sudden rain is ninety-nine percent related to Cang Yu.’

’If he’s not stopped, this rain could flood the entire Ten Thousand Beasts City.’

Chu Liangyu sighed and patted the little cub. ’Looks like I’ll have to send the little guy back first.’

’Can’t have Cang Yu going berserk and causing more trouble.’

"You all wait here. I’m going to check out what that roar was about." Standing up, Chu Liangyu placed the little cub back on her shoulder and spoke to the others.

Chi Yizhong moved in sync with her, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, and said, "I’ll go with you."

Chu Liangyu didn’t say anything, just nodded in agreement.

Without a second thought, Chu Liangyu headed directly for the forest they had come from.

The closer they got, the more fallen trees they saw. Just by looking, one could feel the immense destructive power at play.

Above the center of the forest, the dark clouds were as thick as ink, their heavy blackness creating an incredibly oppressive atmosphere.

Flashes of Thunder flickered within the clouds, where a massive Azure Dragon swam back and forth as if in water.

But his body was severely contorted, writhing with anxiety and rage.

His eyes were filled with red, and against the backdrop of the black clouds, he looked like a demonic Azure Dragon, ready to unleash a massacre at any moment.

Chu Liangyu stood not far from the black clouds, her slender eyebrows knitted slightly, observing quietly for a long moment.

Then, she held up Cang Qiong and shouted, "Cang Yu, your cub isn’t dead! He’s here with me! Calm down!"

The Azure Dragon’s massive body stopped writhing. His head swiveled left and right, and finally, he spotted Chu Liangyu and the other person.

His blood-red eyes narrowed slightly. He also saw Cang Qiong in Chu Liangyu’s hands.

A fierce gust of wind swept by, and the Azure Dragon was already in front of Chu Liangyu.

Chi Yizhong didn’t recognize him and instinctively shielded Chu Liangyu.

Chu Liangyu patted his shoulder and explained, "It’s fine. He’s also one of my Beast Husbands."

The light in Chi Yizhong’s eyes dimmed. He moved aside, but he looked a little unhappy.

’He didn’t understand why Chu Liangyu had so many Beast Husbands.’

’And many of them were not easy to deal with. Could Chu Liangyu really handle them?’

’He was a little envious. If only he had met her sooner, he could have spent more time by her side.’

’But more than that, he was worried that Chu Liangyu’s so-called Beast Husbands would hurt her.’

’Fortunately, he would always follow her. As long as he was there, Chu Liangyu wouldn’t be harmed.’

"Is... Is he really my cub?"

"Why did he suddenly hatch? Could it be that those people’s methods actually worked?"

Cang Yu was finding it hard to believe. He brought his head closer to the little one.

But Cang Qiong seemed to find him a little repulsive. He whipped his nose with his little tail and then started crawling toward the top of Chu Liangyu’s head.

Cang Yu was a male Azure Dragon who, usually relying on his immense power, was arrogant and looked down on everyone.

And because of this, tears welled up in his lantern-sized eyes, and choked sobs escaped him.

It sounded like muffled thunder rumbling right next to her, making Chu Liangyu’s ears ring.

Rubbing her ears, Chu Liangyu took a few steps back.

Chu Liangyu didn’t know what he was muttering to himself, so she just said, "By the way, to make it easier to call him after he hatched, I gave him a name, Cang Qiong. He seems to like it quite a bit. Or you can give him a new one if you want."

Cang Yu shed his beast form, his eyes fixed on the little cub as he reached out to touch him.

But Little Cang Qiong immediately hopped over to Chu Liangyu’s other shoulder, dodging his touch.

"Why won’t he let me touch him?"

Chu Liangyu was also a little puzzled. ’Given Cang Yu’s attitude toward his cub, it shouldn’t be like this.’

’She had previously thought that Cang Qiong was just too comfortable in his shell, with the temperature being just right, and that was why he didn’t want to come out.’

’But seeing how things were now, that was clearly not the case.’

"Did you... do something he didn’t like?"

To her surprise, Cang Yu shook his head without thinking and denied it, "I didn’t do anything. Besides incubating the egg and hunting, what else was there? That can’t be enough to make him dislike me, can it?"

"Then I don’t know either." Chu Liangyu spread her hands, feigning innocence.

’Cang Qiong even lets an outsider like Xiong Jiaojiao touch him, but he won’t let his own Beast Father touch him. Something must have happened.’

Cang Yu looked completely baffled and heartbroken, clearly having no idea what the reason could be.

"So, what are you going to do? Are you going to follow me, or are you going to forcibly take the cub back with you?"

’In this state, forcing him back is definitely not an option.’

Cang Yu didn’t think twice. "I’ll follow you."

She didn’t mind at all. In fact, she was quite happy about it. After all, she had gained another powerful ally.
