Chapter 305 - 306: Seizure!
Most of the time it was Little White who used him as a pillow, as a mattress, but after reconstructing its bloodline, Little White was no longer a sleepyhead, just in time to be his own soft, plush cushion.
The fur of the Ice Morning White Dragon was very soft, like tassels, and Zhu Minglang leaned against it, with half of his body sinking into the thick, pristine downy feathers.
Having not closed his eyes all night, Zhu Minglang fell asleep in this rare comfort.
There was still a little while before dawn, and he could catch a bit of sleep, even just a little was worth it.
The students of the Godly Mortal Academy, and that administrator Fan Lu, saw Zhu Minglang dozing off right here in the pavilion, and each one of them was gritting their teeth with anger!
Really treating this place as his own home??
Once it was light out, just wait and meet your fate, none who have opposed the Godly Mortal Academy have ended well.
“Liang Sifan, what are you doing?” Fan Lu saw that the lady in the mink coat was running alone towards the herbal garden, picking those Lantern Spirit Grasses, and asked, puzzled.
“Taking advantage of the daylight, we should take back as much as we can; they have given us time, after all. After dawn, all these herbs will belong to Runyu City,” said the girl called Liang Sifan.
“Sifan, little sister, these herb mounds were originally ours, it’s he who came to steal them. We just need to wait for the people from the Punishment Institute to come, and see if he still dares to act so recklessly!” another female student of the herbal garden said.
“What we take now is ours, what is taken after sunrise is stolen. Our teacher has always taught us not to see things from just our own perspective. We are the dignified Godly Mortal Academy, if we call taking things from others ‘taking’, and others taking them back ‘stealing,’ then how are we any different from the Demon Sect?” the lady in the mink coat continued.
“Student Sifan, are you questioning the decision of the Orderer, Dean Yan Guang??” Fan Lu’s eyebrows slanted even more, nearly meeting in the middle.
“I have not questioned it. Since we no longer provide protection for Runyu City, it’s only proper that we can’t continue to possess the resources of the Spirit Vein on their territory. I think returning the herbal mound to Runyu City is in support of Dean Yan Guang’s decision. On the contrary, it’s you who continue to use the Spirit Vein of Runyu City, giving people the illusion that our Godly Mortal Academy is still protecting Runyu City, won’t that make it even harder for Dean Yan Guang?” Liang Sifan continued her explanation.
Hearing this argument, Zhu Minglang opened his eyes and carefully observed the girl from Godly Mortal Academy.
In this age, it was rare to find someone who insisted on their own values and who dared to speak candidly in the face of so-called teachers and authority figures.
This female student from Godly Mortal Academy was rather cute.
Unfortunately, she was only stating the right words but couldn’t change the reality.
Fan Lu would not listen to a mere student’s words, and the other students who had been guarding this valuable mound of herbs for some time, for the sake of a student’s reward, they also would not relinquish this precious plot.
Unaware, the sky began to shimmer with silver and gold, with rays of morning light lining the rolling hills, tracing the contours of the hillsides and the land, hidden in the night, with greater clarity.
Zhu Minglang had a brief nap and felt refreshed.
With the Spiritual Spring Realm, Zhu Minglang’s own mental recovery rate was now faster than before. Just a short sleep each day was enough for him to be full of vim and vigour the next.
“You haven’t left yet? Are you here to visit my herb mound?” Zhu Minglang asked with a smile, after washing his face with fresh water.
“This is our territory!” Fan Lu said firmly.
“Indeed, if you’re buried here, it does count as your gravesite,” Zhu Minglang’s smile became less gentle this time, his gaze sharp, his face smiling yet with a touch of coldness.
On the market grounds of Runyu City, over a hundred people lay suffering, a sight Zhu Minglang had witnessed with his own eyes, and the Godly Mortal Academy was the chief culprit behind it all!
Greed made the Godly Mortal Academy completely disregard the true situation in Runyu City, allowing innocent residents, with nowhere else to go, to suffer persecution by numerous so-called “agents of justice”!
Did they really think that just because they were the only force in the Tea-colored Ground, they could act so recklessly?
Zhu Minglang wouldn’t care about the other party’s background or power, he would still step on them all the same!
A bone-chilling breath surged in, instantly sweeping across the entire herb hill.
The few students who were waiting for the Punishment Institute’s action changed their expressions in an instant, almost paralyzed on the ground by the dragon might released by the Ice Morning White Dragon.
Although these Divine and Mortal beings had known from the beginning that the other party’s White Dragon was a Dragon King, they absolutely did not expect it to be a High Rank King Level existence.
Killing intent shot from the Ice Morning White Dragon’s eyes, and those students couldn’t even move a finger.
Instructor Fan Lu, her eyes widened as well, her pupils filled with fear. Fan Lu had always thought that Zhu Minglang was all bark and no bite, that he wouldn’t dare to be the enemy of the Godly Mortal Academy, but after feeling this strong killing intent, she finally realized that the other party was a Demon Lord who didn’t put the Godly Mortal Academy in his eyes at all!
“Sky Ice Earth Knot!”
Zhu Minglang issued a command to the Ice Morning White Dragon.
The Ice Morning White Dragon raised its head, its gorgeous feathers shockingly blooming, beautiful like a giant Tianshan snow lotus, as the cold breath instantly transformed into a terrifying freezing force!
The undulating hills turned into white ice hills, the lantern spirit grass all over the hills crystallized into white frost flowers, and the servants who didn’t leave were frozen into ice sculptures!
Fan Lu and her students, frightened and trying to flee, suddenly stiffened in the process of running. Then, they saw layers upon layers of thick frost covering their bodies!
Fan Lu naively thought she could spar with the other party. Not until she herself turned into an ice sculpture did she realize how foolish she was…
The gap in strength was immense!
Even though she was a Divine and Mortal being who had touched the Monarch Level realm, the other party’s High Rank King Level White Dragon was terrifying to the extreme!
A moment ago, the vegetation was lush and green, the lantern spirit grass swaying on the hills, and the warm morning light was also extremely comfortable. But at this moment, with the Sky Ice Earth Knot, the ice clouds in the sky seemed as if they could collapse at any moment, and the glaciers on the ground looked like they wouldn’t melt for months!
Beside, the only student who didn’t turn into a block of ice, Liang Sifan, was watching all of this in utter horror, taking a long time to recover.
Meanwhile, in another direction, a group of Divine and Mortal beings riding clawed Fake Dragons flew in. They were dressed in the grey and white robes of the Godly Mortal Academy, led by a man with thick hair and a beard.
He landed in front of Zhu Minglang, then glanced at the students and servants frozen into ice sculptures.
“Uncle!” The female student Liang Sifan hurriedly hid behind the man in the grey and white robes.
“Esteemed Dragon Herding Sanctifier, please release these innocent students,” said the man in the grey and white robes from the Punishment Institute.
“I warned them. They knew the consequences of encroaching on others’ territories. It’s only right that I punish them,” Zhu Minglang said indifferently.
The man in grey and white robes glanced at Liang Sifan, quietly inquiring about the situation here.
After understanding the cause and effect, the man in the grey and white robes nodded, but his eyes remained cold and proud, “Even if our people from the Godly Mortal Academy were at fault first, you do not have the right to use force against them. Please accompany us to the Godly Mortal Academy where our Dean of the Punishment Institute will preside over justice.”
“Liang Junior Sister, your uncle seems to be quite unreasonable as well. Inform the Godly Mortal Academy, either they find someone who can beat me or someone reasonable to talk to me. I will hold onto these people for now. Don’t worry, they won’t die,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile to the student called Liang Sifan.
“How dare you detain our people from the Godly Mortal Academy! We are from the Punishment Institute; it’s our duty to punish villains!” a young man from the Punishment Institute shouted indignantly.
“Uncle, Instructor Fan was indeed at fault first…”
“The dignity of any student or instructor from our Godly Mortal Academy is inviolable!” the man in the grey and white robes declared resolutely.
