Chapter 851: Meeting Zhu Rong Again


    Trantor: Law Editor: Hitesh


    The fiery cloud rolled in the sky. The fire dragon, which had half of its body hiding in the cloud, flipped its tail and sent up a crimson cloud of smoke, even dyeing the sky red.


    The fire dragon stared at Ji Hao with itsrge eyes while murmuring, "Hm, my master invited you over. Hm, do you have any wine? I traveled all the way, and didn’t even take sip of water!


    Ji Mo and the other Gold Crow n men hurriedly treated the fire dragon with rice wine. Vats after vats, the rice wine was served to the dragon while the dragon opened its mouth, gulped and gulped. In one breath, the dragon engulfed over a thousand vats of rice wine produced by Gold Crow n.


    Ji Hao seized this short while and hurriedly went home.


    The small building was the same as before, but the small yard had be muchrger. The ground was paved with gstones, and the yard was almost filled with wicker baskets, which contained ssified and cleaned herbs. Some herbs were already dried in the sun, but some were newly picked, and still had fresh juice seeping from the roots. The yard was suffused by a slightly bitter, yet nice herbal scent.


    Qing Fu sat in the yard, with a few nimble-handed, pretty girls sitting around her, helping her with what she had been doing. Arge ck jade jar was ced in front of her, with a few spell symbols sparkling dimly on it. Qing Fu was holding a de jade pestle, and had been carefully grinding a ‘raging fire thunder vine’.


    The thunder vine was soft yet strong. Therefore, Qing Fu had to work pretty hard to grind it. The pestle released beams of ck light and sealed the power of the herb, to disable the power of the herb from getting lost during the grinding process.


    Ji Hao walked into the yard with big steps. Seeing that Qing Fu was busy, he slowed down, gently and quietly walked to Qing Fu and squatted. He conveniently picked a fruit from a fire grass in a basket beside him, then threw into his own mouth. The fruit of the fire grass was especially spicy, but with a sweet aftertaste. And the longer one chewed it, the sweeter it would taste. Atst, the sweetness could reach straight into one’s heart from the tip of the tongue. Fire grass only grew in Southern Wastnd. Therefore, Ji Hao had never seen it in anywhere else.


    However, fire grass fruits were rich in fire power. Ordinary Southern Wastnd children would catch a nosebleed if they ate too many fire grass fruits. Therefore, since Ji Hao was a little kid, every time Qing Fu saw Ji Hao sneakily eating fire grass fruits, she would certainly...


    A not so heavy, yet not so gentle pnded on Ji Hao’s head. Like always, Qing Fu said to him with a deep, strict, yet warm tone. "No! Fire grass fruits can perfectly cast the moistness and coldness away from human bodies, but you can’t eat it as fruits."


    Qing Fu stared at Ji Hao with brightly sparkling eyes while raising her pestle, pretending to knock Ji Hao’s head with it.


    Ji Hao chuckled, took over the pestle and put forth his strength on those thunder vines in the ck jade jar. The thunder vines were already halfway ground, and Ji Hao was way more strengthful than Qing Fu. Therefore, as the spell symbols shone brightly on the ck jade jar, the thunder vines in the jar were ground into a jar of sticky liquid by Ji Hao following a quick series of ngs.


    "Amma, I’m back. Ah, nothing changed in Gold ck Mountain." While grinding the herbs, Ji Hao said nd tone.


    "We now have many more children than before." Qing Fu narrowed her eyes andughed happily, "The fewrge ns nearby are all willing to marry their girls to our Gold Crow n boys. In the recent few years, we are having more and more children in the n."


    Qing Ru stood up and pulled Ji Hao up as well.


    Ji Hao stood straight, while Qing Fu measured the height difference between him and herself. Finding that she couldn’t even reach Ji Hao’s armpits now, Qing Fu sighed in surprise and said, "Ah, my Ji Hao has grown up. He’s an adult now, not a kid anymore...Hmm,e on, tell Amma, have you met any nice girls out there? Which stage are you now at with her? When can I hold the babies of my Ji Hao?


    Ji Hao’s face instantly turned twisted. Why would the topic suddenly change into this?


    "Amma..." Ji Hao murmured weakly.


    "Do you know any good-looking girl? If you do, just bring her back and let Amma see...If you don’t, the little girl called Man Man is not bad. She’s healthy, and her family is powerful. I think she can have many babies."


    Qing Fu looked at Ji Hao with her pair of brightly sparkling eyes while she continued especially seriously, "Ah, never mind. Men are always with low efficiency. Amma knows many pretty young girls. Later, you go..."


    Ji Hao turned around and ran straight away, leaving faint shreds of afterimages while shing across the air, rushing out of the yard.


    "Amma, Lord Zhu Rong wants to talk to me. If I finish early, I wille back for dinner. Please cook a few boar ribs and roast a few sweet potatoes for me!"


    Ji Hao rushed out swiftly. Qing Fu paused, thenughed and shouted, "Leave the pestle, why are you running so fast?"


    ng! The ck jade pestle brought up a cold beam of light and urately fell into the jar. Qing Fu grinned, raised her head and looked at the fiery dragon, which was lying on Gold ck Mountain and gulping wine, then smilingly nodded.


    Po and Gui Ling stayed in Gold Crow n while the fire dragon rose back into the sky, brought Ji Hao and flew to the south. Less than three-hundred miles away from Gold ck Mountain, a hundred miles in radius volcano vent appeared among mountains. Ji Hao clearly remembered that this was a pure mountain area without any volcano. But now, a volcano vent appeared in this ce, and was filled with boilingva, with a few smaller sized fire dragonsfortably lying in it and taking a nap.


    Above the volcano vent was a dragon-scale-like mirror, floating in a raging fire. The mirror was decorated with patterns of mes, and had been releasing beams of red divine light, shining on the surrounding area. Ji Hao clearly saw the images of countless familiar mountains and rivers sh across the mirror, which meant this mirror had been watching the entire area around Gold ck Mountain. If anyone approached the Gold ck Mountain, he or she could be discovered through this mirror immediately.


    "My master sent these few little ones and me to guard in this ce. This volcano, my master created it himself." said the fire dragon slowly, "And this mirror, ha, anything that happens in million-mile-radius around your Gold ck Mountain, my master will be the first to know. He will inform us to make the moves and prevent any danger. Hmm, I heard the little kid Man Man is going to marry you, is this true?"


    Ji Hao gave a bitter smile, looked at the fire dragon and threw a question back, "Says who?"


    The dragon straightened its neck, looked at Ji Hao and responded with a great confidence, "My Master told me! Just make it hurry. It’s good for Man Man to marry, because as a married woman, she won’te back and bully us again. Or she would juste every a few days and pull off our scales to make weird stuff!"


    Ji Hao was speechless.


    A scorching hot stream ofva swooshed up for thousands of meters high, on top of which, a fiery gate opened rumblingly.


    Ji Hao followed the fire dragon into the fiery gate. At first nce, Ji Hao saw Zhu Rong, who was covered in a long red cloak. Zhu Rong’s face was pale, and he had been coughing ceaselessly.
