Chapter 37 Listening to All Things
"This is?"
Hua Yu stared in shock at the little green dragon in front of him. If he remembered correctly, this little guy wasn't bound to a contract with him yet.
It's normal for summoners to be able to achieve a state of perfect harmony with their contracted beasts.
But this was the first time Hua Yu had ever heard of a situation like the one he was currently facing.
"Waaah~"
"I'm hungry!"
Seemingly annoyed by the long wait, the little green dragon nudged Hua Yu's arm with its head.
"Okay, okay, I'll get you something to eat right away."
Hua Yu first gently soothed the little green dragon, then addressed the empty corner of the ward, "Shadow, come out!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a clear figure suddenly appeared in the corner.
The person did not reveal their form, leaving only a human-shaped shadow on the wall, from which a voice, indistinguishable as male or female, drifted out.
"Young Master, how did you know I was here?"
"Besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who could bring me back from there."
Upon hearing this, Shadow fell silent for a moment.
Hua Zhanhong instructed him to secretly follow Hua Yu and protect him, but there was one condition: he must not be discovered by Hua Yu. If he was discovered, his mission would be over.
If a magician's growth is not accompanied by life-and-death experiences and relies solely on the protection of others, he will not go very far. This is why, under those circumstances, Shadow refrained from taking action.
Hua Zhanhong wanted his son to grow up, but he was also afraid that something would happen to his only son, so he sent a shadow who was proficient in shadow magic to follow him.
Clearly, his mission has failed.
"Alright, go prepare some food for me, then you can go report to my dad's place," Hua Yu said calmly.
"I understand. Oh, right, young master, the master told you to call him after you wake up."
After saying those words, Shadow disappeared silently from the ward, without a sound, so much so that even Hua Yu's sound system couldn't detect any movement.
"Okay, I understand."
Hua Yu smiled slightly. Since Hua Zhanhong left this message for Shadow, he must have guessed that Hua Yu was aware that Shadow was nearby.
Old man, old man, who can outwit you?
Hua Yu gently patted the little green dragon's head, then dialed Hua Zhanhong's number.
"Hey, Dad."
-
a few days later.
On a private car traveling from Shanghai to Hangzhou.
"Little Green, eat slowly."
"Wait, don't grab it, that belongs to Little Silver."
"Waaah~"
"Aww~"
A small, entirely green dragon suddenly pushed aside the winged silver lion and snatched the wind-elemental spirit seed fragment from Hua Yu's hand.
The little winged silver lion blinked, looking at its master with a somewhat bewildered expression.
"Aww~"
"What about mine?"
Hua Yu frowned, feeling a sudden headache coming on.
After returning from Jinlin Wasteland, he changed quite a bit.
First of all, he definitely chose to form a contract with the little green dragon, and therefore he sold the pseudo-demon seed that he obtained from the Golden Forest Wasteland.
With four children to raise, he doesn't have the extra energy to sign another contract at the moment.
The little green dragon is so cute, why would it need an old tree trunk? It just needs to be by its side.
After forming a contract with the little green dragon, Hua Yu discovered one of its special characteristics: it could absorb the remnants and essence of living beings after they died.
When they reach a certain quantity, the little green dragon can transform them into a special liquid and release it to supply other creatures for cultivation.
The remnants and essences of the giant lizards that died in the desolate city of Jinlin were secretly absorbed by the little green dragon.
The special liquid that was transformed was also bottled by Hua Yu. Hua Yu has not tried it yet because he always felt that this stuff was the little green dragon's saliva.
Otherwise, Hua Yu wouldn't be able to find any other reasonable place for the little green dragon to emerge from the water.
It couldn't possibly be that thing!
Good as it is, that little green dragon can really eat!
They're not getting enough to eat!
It seems that it can swallow anything that has energy fluctuations, which is why its growth rate is much faster than that of the earlier-born winged silver lion cub.
During this period, the little green dragon almost ate all of the little silver lion's snacks.
Hua Yu had spoken with the little green dragon about its origins, but even the little green dragon itself didn't know where it came from or why it ended up in Jinlin City.
From the moment it became conscious, it has lived inside that egg.
It could sense everything around it and could perceive the demons' desire to devour the egg, so it dared not make a sound.
It wasn't until it sensed Hua Yu's aura—a very familiar aura—that the little green dragon signaled to the outside world that it was still alive.
The little green dragon also told Hua Yu that it seemed the giant lizards lost interest in him instantly after sensing that he had emerged from the egg.
Or perhaps, a sense of fear arose.
In short, they retreated.
Besides the little green dragon incident, Hua Yu itself also has some differences.
Since that coma, his vocal system has evolved again. Now, he can understand the meaning of the sounds of the creatures around him and communicate with them whenever he wants.
Hua Yu had tested this; he could communicate with not only the Thunderfire Twin Apes, but also wild demons and even domesticated pets.
Aside from the inability to communicate with non-living things, this ability of my own sound system is essentially a simplified version of listening to the voices of all things.
Hua Yu glanced at the little green dragon with some wariness, then, taking advantage of its inattention, quickly took out a fragment of a wind-type spirit seed from his pocket and fed it to the little winged silver lion.
The little winged silver lion then happily sat down to the side and began to chew.
"Waaaaah~~~"
"Hey, little kitten with wings, acknowledge me as your big brother, and I won't steal your things anymore, and I'll even protect you, how about it?"
"Aww~"
"What do you mean?"
"Waaah~"
"It means that from now on you will listen to me and I will protect you."
After hearing the little green dragon's words, the little winged silver lion blinked, then nodded and let out a cry.
"Aww~"
"Brother Green".
The little green dragon flicked its tail in annoyance, landing on the little winged silver lion's head.
"Waaah~"
"Idiot, you should call him Brother Xiaolong!"
"Aww~"
"Brother Xiaolong!"
Hua Yu looked at the extremely arrogant little green dragon in front of him speechlessly. What had this guy been secretly studying these past few days behind his back? Where did he learn all this?
And so, the little winged silver lion that had initially followed Hua Yu became the little green dragon's follower.
Just then, the car stopped.
The driver, who had been silent the whole way, finally spoke, "Young Master Hua, we've arrived."
Hua Yu nodded and looked out the window.
At the main gate, several military mages were walking towards them.
