I, the Invincible Genius, Only Want to Live a Low-Key Life - Chapter 19
Lin Feng was savoring his own strength.
He was immersed in incomparable joy.
He could finally go all out in a fight.
It was like someone who had been repressed for a very long time and suddenly exploded-this feeling was truly exhilarating.
At this moment, the Flood Dragon was already dumbfounded by the power Lin Feng displayed.
That dragon-like yet not dragon-like roar had long since ceased.
The phenomenon in the sky was even more terrifying than when it underwent its tribulation.
The human in front of it was simply too powerful; it was no match at all. If a fight broke out, it would surely die.
Thousands of years of cultivation would be destroyed in an instant. The Flood Dragon was not willing to accept this.
The arrogance and disdain in its eyes transformed into fear.
Lin Feng did not notice the change in the Flood Dragon.
With his right hand holding the Haoran Sword, he slowly raised it, the tip pointing at the Flood Dragon.
“Come on! Since you want to fight, I’ll fight you.”
The moment Lin Feng pointed his sword at it, the Flood Dragon felt its entire body tense up, locked by a powerful aura. It didn’t even dare to move, as if any movement would mean instant death.
Just this small gesture nearly scared the Flood Dragon out of its wits, which showed just how powerful Lin Feng was.
Just as Lin Feng was about to make his move, he felt that something was off.
Not only had the Flood Dragon’s roar disappeared, but even its domineering aura was gone.
There was no longer any arrogance in its eyes, only fear and pitiful helplessness.
It even shed two tears.
This scene left Lin Feng utterly bewildered.
What was going on?
Weren’t they about to fight?
Why did it suddenly chicken out?
Faced with this situation, he didn’t know what to do for a moment. The other side had clearly lost the will to fight-how could the fight go on?
He could only temporarily lower the Haoran Sword that was aimed at the Flood Dragon.
At this moment, the Flood Dragon could finally move.
It slowly lowered its head, submerged into the water, leaving only a small part above the surface. Then it gradually approached Lin Feng, coming to the edge of the deep pool, looking at him with pitiful eyes.
If anyone else had seen this scene, their jaw would have dropped in shock.
From a distance, one would see a silver-white Flood Dragon lowering its noble head to flatter and please a human.
Lin Feng was also left baffled by this sudden turn of events.
After thinking for a moment, he walked to the edge of the deep pool, reached out, and touched the silver horn on the Flood Dragon’s head, just like petting a cat back on Earth in his previous life.
The Flood Dragon narrowed its eyes in enjoyment.
Alright! Lin Feng was sure of it.
It must have been that his full outburst had frightened the Flood Dragon, causing it to submit to him.
The Flood Dragon was a spirit beast with intelligence.
Realizing it couldn’t win, it immediately surrendered and begged for mercy.
Its intelligence truly was high.
If a fight really broke out, Lin Feng wasn’t sure he could spare it.
“Since you have submitted to me, from now on I am your master.” Lin Feng stroked the Flood Dragon’s head as he spoke.
The Flood Dragon seemed to understand and nodded repeatedly.
“Hmm! Not bad! Let me give you a new name. Seeing as your whole body is silver-white, I’ll just call you Xiao Bai!”
The Flood Dragon quickly nodded again.
Lin Feng also showed a smile.
To subdue a Silver-Horned Flood Dragon as a pet was indeed delightful.
On Earth in his previous life, everyone petted cats and dogs. Now, he was petting a dragon.
Even though it wasn’t a true dragon, it was much better than petting a cat or dog.
If he ever got the chance to pet a real dragon, his status would be off the charts.
After playing with Xiao Bai for a while, Lin Feng discovered that while the Flood Dragon was highly intelligent, it still couldn’t fully understand what he said and needed gestures to explain things.
But this was normal.
After all, the Flood Dragon lived in the isolated Nine Nether Secret Realm, which only opened once every hundred years. Even then, few ever found this place, so it had very little contact with humans.
From now on, following him, Lin Feng believed that with the Flood Dragon’s intelligence, they would soon be able to communicate without barriers.
Next, Lin Feng got down to business.
He asked Xiao Bai where the treasure it guarded was.
He was eager to know if it was the Bianhua Flower he needed.
As one of the most powerful exotic beasts in the Nine Nether Secret Realm, the Flood Dragon had more than one treasure.
Ever since it had successfully transformed into a Flood Dragon, the nearby exotic beasts had either become its food or moved away early on, and all the spiritual herbs and medicines left behind had been transplanted into this Minor Blessed Land.
Over the years, all the treasures in the surroundings had been thoroughly collected, and their quantity was now quite impressive.
Looking around, any random plant was a rare and precious item in the outside world.
It was comparable to the Herb Garden carefully cultivated by a major power.
Even the spiritual herb Lin Feng obtained in the Ice Python’s old lair was nothing remarkable here.
The Flood Dragon didn’t know what Lin Feng needed, so it could only accompany him as he slowly searched the Minor Blessed Land.
After searching for quite a while, they still didn’t find any sign of the Bianhua Flower, and Lin Feng grew anxious.
Without the Bianhua Flower, all other treasures were meaningless to him, and he had no interest in admiring them at all.
To find the Bianhua Flower accurately, Lin Feng tried to explain and gesture to Xiao Bai again, but after a long while, Xiao Bai was still completely confused.
Seeing Xiao Bai’s pitiful and bewildered look, Lin Feng felt a headache coming on.
Currently, he and Xiao Bai could only communicate in the simplest way.
What should he do?
If only they were on Earth-he could just show Xiao Bai a photo, and it would be clear at a glance.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng picked up a tree branch and drew the general shape of the Bianhua Flower on the ground.
But the effect was terrible.
Not to mention Xiao Bai-even Lin Feng himself couldn’t tell the difference between it and other flowers and plants.
“Sigh!”
Lin Feng let out a helpless sigh.
He didn’t know what else to do.
With no other options, he could only search slowly.
What he feared most was turning the entire place upside down only to find nothing-that would be truly hard to accept.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
The Bianhua Flower was far more precious than ordinary spiritual herbs and medicines.
The more precious the treasure, the more nutrients it required. Often, in places where such spiritual plants grew, no other spiritual plants could survive.
In other words, the Bianhua Flower must grow alone, with no other plants able to live nearby.
With this, the search area was narrowed down.
Lin Feng began to focus on searching corners where no vegetation grew.
Nothing there!
Nothing there either!
While Lin Feng was focused on searching for the Bianhua Flower, the Flood Dragon Xiao Bai slowly sank its body into the pool and quietly left.
In fact, Lin Feng had already noticed Xiao Bai’s actions, but he didn’t stop it.
He tacitly allowed it to leave.
If it wanted to go, so be it!
Lin Feng’s purpose in entering the Nine Nether Secret Realm was to find the Bianhua Flower to detoxify his master, Su Mubai.
Even though the Flood Dragon was full of treasures, since he hadn’t killed it right away, he had no intention of killing it at all.
He would release it in the end anyway.
As for taking it out of the Nine Nether Secret Realm?
Forget it!
The Flood Dragon’s body was so huge that it couldn’t be hidden at all, and it was covered in treasures. It would probably be killed by powerful cultivators waiting outside the Nine Nether Secret Realm as soon as it emerged.
Would he save it then or not?
Rather than putting himself in a difficult position, it was better to let it go now.
Ignoring Xiao Bai’s departure, Lin Feng continued searching for the Bianhua Flower.
Not long after-
Ripples spread across the surface of the pool.
The Flood Dragon Xiao Bai emerged from the water, came to Lin Feng’s side, and gently rubbed its head against him.
“Don’t mess around! I’m busy with something important!” Lin Feng said with annoyance.
He was actually quite calm about the Flood Dragon’s return.
Xiao Bai rubbed against him again.
“What is it?” Lin Feng turned his head to look at Xiao Bai and asked.
The enormous Flood Dragon opened its mouth.
A plant that had appeared countless times in Lin Feng’s dreams recently came into view.
This is…?
Lin Feng’s eyes widened, and joy instantly overwhelmed him.
