Chapter 1117: Victory Is Certain
Inside the training room, Mu Jianling crossed her arms, her gaze cold and aloof as she looked at Ji You, giving off an indifferent aura. However, when she inadvertently glanced at the Little Golden Dragon on Ji You’s shoulder, her eyes softened ever so slightly.
Ji You seemed to sense something, raised her hand, and knocked on the Little Golden Dragon’s head.
The Little Golden Dragon was awakened from its sleep, furrowing its brows, and said very displeased, "Woman, haven’t I warned you before? You must not wake me while Lord Heavenly Dog is asleep!"
Though its mouth was full of disdain and anger, the Little Golden Dragon still raised its head and glared at Ji You, asking, "What do you want?"
Ji You squinted her eyes and smiled, "Nothing much, just wanted to make sure if you were pretending to sleep."
The Little Golden Dragon: "..."
The Little Golden Dragon sneered, "Boring."
With that said.
The Little Golden Dragon immediately lay back down on Ji You’s shoulder.
Throughout the entire time, it seemed to completely ignore Teacher Mu Jianling standing in front of it. In less than two seconds, the Little Golden Dragon started to snore rhythmically.
Ji You beamed at Teacher Mu Jianling, "Teacher, it’s confirmed, it’s just pretending to sleep. Is there anything you’d like to say to it?"
The ’deeply asleep’ Little Golden Dragon stiffened at these words, even its tail went rigid for a moment. But since it was supposed to be fast asleep, it resolutely stayed still, unmoving.
Witnessing this, Mu Jianling’s tight mouth softened unconsciously, then she said, "I have nothing to say to it."
Ji You pouted, "Teacher, you don’t seem that way."
Mu Jianling gave Ji You a sidelong glance and said, "Oh—actually, I quite want to say a few words to it. Heavenly Dog, eat more, eat well, Candy Beans, Cloud Mist Milk Tea, braised meat, cake, desserts... you can digest them all, no need to avoid them."
On Ji You’s shoulder, the Little Golden Dragon’s entire tail stealthily hid into Ji You’s hair, even half of its body was hidden, leaving only its head exposed.
When Teacher Mu Jianling was speaking, the dragon horns on the Little Golden Dragon’s head involuntarily twitched a couple of times.
Ji You: "..."
Ji You’s smile faltered, "Teacher, don’t talk nonsense. Look at our Little Golden Dragon, with its delicate and soft appearance, can it really consume all that? Overeating is definitely not an option."
The Little Golden Dragon suddenly leaped up, "I can do it."
Ji You reached out and grabbed the Little Golden Dragon, stuffing it into the Mechanical Space Button.
The world quieted down.
Ji You spread her hands and said to Teacher Mu Jianling, "Teacher, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first." Really... seeing how Teacher Mu Jianling was practically overflowing with affection for the Little Golden Dragon, I thought I could get some benefits through it.
An illusion.
All just an illusion.
Ji You turned to leave when Mu Jianling’s cool voice sounded behind her, "Make sure to get the entrance ticket."
Ji You stopped, turned her face, and said with a grin, "Leave it to fate, leave it to fate... Some things, if you can’t get them, you shouldn’t force them, everything as fate decides..." Before she finished the word ’fate,’ under Teacher Mu Jianling’s dangerous gaze, Ji You swallowed hard and said, "Fate? Not possible! In my dictionary, there’s no such thing as fate!"
Mu Jianling: "Oh?"
Ji You announced loudly, "Teacher, rest assured, I will definitely get the entrance ticket."
Mu Jianling originally didn’t want to say more, but nonetheless added, "Inside, there are things that can save the Little Golden Dragon."
Ji You: "Huh!!!"
Mu Jianling said quietly, "It depends on whether you have the ability to find them."
Ji You leaned closer to Teacher Mu Jianling, asking, "Teacher, the things you’re talking about, can they completely cure the Little Golden Dragon?"
Mu Jianling wanted to say maybe, probably, most likely, but seeing Ji You’s face full of anticipation and longing, she changed her response, "Of course!"
Upon hearing this, Ji You instantly became very excited, "Rest assured, I’ll definitely get that entrance ticket."
Mu Jianling chuckled softly, "Leave it to fate, if you really can’t get it, don’t force it."
Ji You was taken aback, looking at Mu Jianling, "Teacher, why are you so petty? I was just talking nonsense, you could have just ignored it. Do you know, your imitation of my speech is really quite frightening."
Mu Jianling gave Ji You a light kick on the butt, "Get out of here quickly."
Ji You immediately covered her head and prepared to run.
Mu Jianling suddenly said, "Your Spiritual Silk hasn’t improved in a long time, has it?"
Ji You was taken aback, "Teacher?"
Mu Jianling said, "There’s something that benefits spiritual power even more than Soul Devices."
Ji You put away her playful expression and asked, "Teacher, are you referring to?"
Mu Jianling’s tone was calm, "The Natural Soul Artifact."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You said somewhat speechlessly, "I knew that already. The problem is, this thing is even harder to obtain than winning the lottery." Everyone knows how rare and precious Natural Soul Artifacts are.
In the face of a Natural Soul Artifact, artificial soul devices are hardly worth mentioning.
But!
Precisely because they appear so rarely, at a probability of one in a billion, they are so precious.
This thing, ordinary people simply can’t have.
Mu Jianling ignored Ji You’s speechlessness and continued, "There’s also something even rarer than the Natural Soul Artifact. You should know what it is, right?"
Ji You’s eyes widened, "Special items?"
Mu Jianling nodded, "Precisely. But a particular special item is only useful for a particular person, so it’s not universal. It’s normal that many people don’t know about it." Mu Jianling paused slightly, then continued, "Listen, once you get in there, you can try your luck. You might be able to obtain a Natural Soul Artifact, or find a special item just for you."
Ji You swallowed, "...!!! Your meaning is that there are both Natural Soul Artifacts and special items in there?"
Mu Jianling said mildly, "Indeed."
Ji You clenched her fists, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give it my all." The last time a special item appeared, her Spiritual Silk didn’t get to enjoy it and Iron took it all in, causing her Six Spiritual Threads to sulk for a long time.
Ji You was still pondering where to find the next special item, not expecting that the moment she needed a pillow, she’d have one.
Ji You was now even more determined to get the entrance ticket.
Mu Jianling observed Ji You’s expression, a smile tugged at her lips, "Your spiritual power hasn’t improved much because your Spiritual Silk has been in a state of malnutrition for a long time."
Ji You opened her mouth, "... No... really?"
Meanwhile, in the Spirit Space, the Six Strands were all clutching their heads, moved to tears: [Teacher Mu finally spoke some human words, it’s not easy.]
