Obsessively Raised by My Doll 149

Chapter 149

The storage ring she had obtained from the forbidden land had finally come in handy.

Otherwise, holding such a pile of high-grade spirit stones, Lu Dieqing wouldn’t have been able to cast the Spring Rain Technique normally.

So many high-grade spirit stones, she was afraid of dropping them if she held them in her arms, which would be a great heartache!

Lu Dieqing had never felt that she and Ningning were so wealthy. These were all their cultivation resources.

If what the black dragon said was true, that one high-grade spirit stone was equivalent to a thousand low-grade spirit stones, Lu Dieqing silently calculated in her heart.

One low-grade spirit stone was enough for her to cultivate for a long time, and had supported her in cultivating the Spring Rain Technique to the first layer. Today, after casting the Spring Rain Technique more than a dozen times in a row, she had directly broken through to the second layer.

Wouldn’t one high-grade spirit stone be enough for her to cultivate for even longer?

After the Spring Rain Technique had entered the second layer, Lu Dieqing clearly felt that it was much easier to cast this technique.

The circulation of spiritual power was not as stagnant as before, and the spiritual power between her meridians had become much smoother.

Lu Dieqing’s hand seals were made at a flying speed, and the range of the Spring Rain Technique was no longer as small as before. It directly covered half of the nearby street.

The people in Jufengxiang Restaurant soon discovered that although they were under the eaves, their bodies were inexplicably touched by a fine, drizzling rain, and the restlessness and fatigue in their bodies were all lightened.

The waiter and the manager both had some old injuries, but when their bodies were touched by the fine rain, they both felt that the places where they had been injured before were relieved, and a warm current flowed through them, making them feel more comfortable.

“Goodness, this is immortal rain.”

The waiter even tasted a drop of the rainwater, and his eyes lit up.

His mind worked fast. Discovering that the rainwater was good for the body, he immediately ran to find a crock and held it up to catch this magical rainwater.

The manager, though he scolded him, his legs ran even faster than his. He also took a crock and followed him to fill it.

The other waiters in Jufengxiang Restaurant all followed suit.

When Lu Dieqing and Zheng Xuening passed by the restaurant, they deliberately paused and looked inside.

The waiter saw this and immediately stuffed the crock in his hand to someone else.

“Hold this for me. Get some more rain. Don’t let it spill.”

He himself ran to the front of Lu Dieqing and the other.

Goodness. The closer he got to the two of them, the more his heart pounded.

The two bosses of his own restaurant had inexplicably become fairies who had flown to the sky with the Dragon King! This was something he would not even dare to think of in his dreams.

The waiter even secretly pinched his own leg, and the result was real pain, so painful that he grimaced, and tears were about to fall.

Lu Dieqing waved at her.

“Are you all alright? Is anyone injured?”

The waiter quickly came back to his senses, secretly peeking at the black dragon behind Lu Dieqing and the other, and then honestly replied, “Some of the guests were injured by the hail before, but after that immortal rain, everyone’s injuries have recovered.”

When he said this, the waiter was a little cautious.

Today was not like the past. When he spoke to the two bosses, he didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, and there was an indescribable sense of awe.

Especially seeing that huge black dragon in the distance, it was clearly like a little follower of these two bosses, with a full sense of presence. The waiter suspected that he had almost become a character in a storybook.

It was just that, others had a single person achieve the Dao, and their chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. He did not seek to ascend, after all, their relationship was distant. He only hoped that in the future, when the world changed, seeing that the two bosses were their own people from Jufengxiang Restaurant, they, the little common people, could also have a way to live, and not be bullied by those demons and monsters.

Weren’t all those storybooks written like this? Whenever a favored child of heaven was about to be born, there would inevitably be a great chaos.

In the past, when he stood in front of Lu Dieqing and the other, he was very cautious and timid, knowing that the two were nobles from the deep palace, especially Zheng Xuening, who was the nailed-down future emperor of the Chaoying Kingdom.

For ordinary commoners like them to be able to see such a noble in their lifetime was already enough to boast about for a lifetime.

Now, to discover that the other was not just the heir, but also possibly a fairy?

The waiter had not fainted on the spot, which already showed that he was brave and had seen a lot of the world.

Lu Dieqing heard the waiter talk about the situation in the restaurant, smiled and nodded, and comforted him.

“You don’t need to worry. In the future, if there are any people who have not yet recovered from their injuries…”

She had the heart to help and wanted to say something more, but because she had no experience in handling matters, she was stuck there. Zheng Xuening promptly took up her words and continued, “The imperial court will send people to register the situation of those whose houses have been damaged and have not yet been repaired, and whose injuries have not yet healed. At that time, the government will issue compensation.”

After Zheng Xuening had finished speaking, the waiter almost jumped up, in disbelief and pleasant surprise.

What?

The people whose houses and heads had been smashed by the Dragon King’s hail could still get a subsidy from the imperial court?

If it had been someone else who had said this, the waiter would definitely not have believed it. But the person who had said this today was their Chaoying Kingdom’s Royal Highness the Crown Princess. She was the heir of an emperor who meant what she said. The words she said were set in stone.

The waiter was all smiles, and for a moment he even forgot his previous awe and ran in to tell the manager.

The manager immediately came out and bowed and scraped to Zheng Xuening and the other, full of politeness.

When Lu Dieqing and the other had walked far away from the restaurant, the manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

“You boy, keep a close watch on the people in the restaurant from now on. Don’t cause any trouble.”

The manager inexplicably roared at the waiter.

“The people in our restaurant whose injuries have been healed by the rainwater, if the yamen comes to ask, they are not allowed to get involved and claim those subsidies.”

The manager was, after all, an old man. He had lived for a long time and had a keen sense of smell. Seeing the black dragon appear, and the Crown Princess becoming a fairy who had descended from the sky with magical powers, he was afraid that there would be a great change, and that the people in his own restaurant would lose their heads and get involved, thus bringing disaster.

He had repeatedly warned the waiters in the restaurant in advance. The few waiters had all heard it. And so, later, when the yamen came to ask who had not yet recovered from their injuries and whose roofs had not yet been repaired, there were a few street ruffians who, relying on the fact that the yamen would not investigate, tried to fish in troubled waters and claim compensation. In the end, they were discovered and beaten, trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice used to lure it. The waiters in the restaurant were very glad, but that is a story for later.

Lu Dieqing and Zheng Xuening walked far away, and the black dragon still tried to ridicule the two of them.

“Little girl, aren’t you the heir of a nation? All the people are yours. Why are you spending so much time and effort on these things? Mortals are like chickens and dogs. If you manage everything in the world, it will be difficult for you to achieve the Great Dao.”

Cultivators are all heartless, and even the Great Dao is heartless.

With the black dragon’s brain, it would never be able to understand the meaning of a mortal’s decades of suffering.

Since mortals live to suffer, then don’t bother with them. Taking care of oneself and ascending to the path of immortality is the right thing to do.

Zheng Xuening glanced at the black dragon and said nothing.

She had always been a woman of few words. Now, seeing the black dragon obediently following them along the long street and doing the aftercare, she returned to her usual silence.

Even if the black dragon was clearly talking back, she was not in the mood to pay attention to it.

Now, the most important thing in her heart was still her little rabbit’s decision to stay or leave.

Zheng Xuening was silent, but it was Lu Dieqing who, on the contrary, refuted the big black dragon for her Ningning.

“Senior black dragon, that’s where you’re wrong. It’s precisely because Ningning is the heir that she must love the people as her children.”

“Don’t you cultivators read books? The books all say that water can carry a boat and can also capsize it, and the people are like water. If you want the country to be peaceful and the people to be content, you naturally have to be more considerate of the people’s feelings.”

The black dragon snorted, its whiskers even sticking up.

“What’s there to read? That’s what mortals do. We ice dragons have our own bloodline inheritance. With that kind of effort, it’s better to practice a few more techniques.”

Speaking of this, it was anxious and urged Lu Dieqing, “Little girl, hurry up and come with this dragon. You don’t understand the Xuanqing Sect, and you don’t know the benefits of going there. Now is the time for the grand opening ceremony, the official acceptance of disciples once every three hundred years. If you’re lucky, you might be able to enter the inner sect, and at that time, you’ll be able to get a lot of rare cultivation resources.”

When he spoke of these things, the black dragon’s eyes were a little greedy, and he shook his head, his tail slapping the ground with a “pa pa” sound.

Lu Dieqing immediately shook her head into a rattle drum.

“I’m not going, I’m not going. I won’t leave the place where I was born.”

The more indifferent this black dragon was towards mortals, the more it showed the ruthlessness and terror of cultivators.

The black dragon snorted coldly. “This is not up to you. When this dragon’s time limit in this mortal world is up, you’ll have to go whether you want to or not.”

With this, Lu Dieqing pressed her lips together and did not speak, feeling threatened. Her petite figure even looked a little smaller, and her eyes were a little uneasy.

However, the next moment, the black dragon, which had just been saying harsh words, roared.

“Aiyo, my dear lady! This dragon’s whiskers!”

Zheng Xuening’s long sword was extremely neat. In a few strokes, she had cut off the longest of its remaining whiskers.

“If you can’t speak properly, then don’t.”

“If you threaten me one more time, I’ll cut off one root, until you have no whiskers left.”

Zheng Xuening’s tone was indifferent, and there was no change in her expression, but it was a kind of seriousness that could not be ignored.

The black dragon obediently closed its mouth.

Damn it! In the mortal world, its spiritual power could not be used, and it was restricted by the heavenly dao of this place. It could only be a tortoise with its head shrunk.

The black dragon was indignant, but it only dared to mutter in its heart. In the end, it did not dare to provoke her with its remaining whiskers.

Seeing that it was quiet, Lu Dieqing immediately leaned closer to Zheng Xuening, a faint, sweet smile appearing on her lips.

She was being protected by Ningning again. Happy.

Her soft and fair little hands openly took Zheng Xuening’s, and their ten fingers intertwined.

The girl’s watery almond eyes were as if they could speak, and they looked at the other with a shimmering gaze, full of a loving gentleness and shyness.

What was the point of going to the cultivation world that the black dragon had mentioned? The most important thing in life, wasn’t it to be with the person you loved and who loved you?

Being looked at by her little rabbit’s eyes, Zheng Xuening’s heart was soft and warm. She raised her hand and held the person in her arms.

Lu Dieqing immediately, as a matter of course, rested her head in the other’s embrace and gently rubbed against her.

The two of them were so in tune with each other that it seemed they could be of one mind without saying a word.

The black dragon looked at these two little girls, its eyeballs rolling around.

—These two little girls were inseparable. Could it be that to take away the Xuanqing Sect’s successor, he would also have to take this Chaoying Kingdom’s heir with him?
