Chapter 136: 136 Petition for Enfeoffment, Chapter (Third Watch)

Seeing her like that, it seems as if she’s going to snap if the little Lolita denies the existence of flying dragons once more.

A flying dragon is in the sky.

Chu Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, the words ’Jiao dragon’ suddenly surfaced in her mind.

All Jiao dragons are in transformation to become true dragons.

A Jiao is a great snake that has cultivated for a thousand years in the mountains to achieve sentience.

There are such folktales.

Before transforming into a dragon, a Jiao has to endure three tribulations of heavenly thunder and fire. Very few creatures can safely pass through these tribulations, and even if they do, most fail the final trial.

This final trial is known as ’Seeking the Mandate for the Jiao’.

’Seeking the Mandate for the Jiao’ means that the Jiao descends the mountain to find a person of destiny.

To let the person of destiny ’declare the Jiao a dragon’ and speak well of it.

If the person exclaims, "Wow, what a grand dragon!",

The Jiao instantly transforms into a Golden Dragon, soaring above the nine heavens, bounding through the azure ocean, leaping through the Dragon Gate, and bringing peace to the world.

After that, the person of destiny and their descendants will be blessed with the dragon’s aura, enjoy endless good fortune, live without worries for clothing or food, and bask in wealth and honor.

But if the person says, "Wow, what a massive snake!",

The Jiao fails the tribulation, not only destroying its thousand years of cultivation in an instant but also "Scattering Like Ashes" under the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.

The person of destiny would also die on the spot from the Jiao’s resentment, their soul sent to the underworld, and would endure eternal suffering in the cycle of reincarnation.

She once read in an ancient book within the Purple Thunder space, that before transforming into a dragon, a Jiao indeed emits a special, peculiar scent.

Ordinary people might not be able to smell it, but the person of destiny can.

Once it successfully transforms into a dragon, that peculiar scent will turn into a dragon’s aura.

Could it be that they had encountered the legendary ’Seeking the Mandate for the Jiao’?

Thinking of this, Chu Jin’s eyes tightened, and she immediately covered the little Lolita’s mouth, fearing she would utter something that displeased the Jiao.

Causing the Jiao to fail its tribulation and harbor resentment.

She then leaned close to the little Lolita’s ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Peng Ge, tell aunty that there is a flying dragon in the sky!"

The little Lolita looked at Chu Jin somewhat bewilderedly. Although she didn’t understand why Chu Jin would say such a thing,

Seeing how serious Chu Jin looked, it must be important to aunty.

So, repeating Chu Jin’s words, she turned her head towards the woman and said softly, "Aunty, there is a flying dragon in the sky, and this rain is from the flying dragon, right?"

Although she said this, she was inwardly laughing at how silly the aunty was, still needing to be comforted by a child at her age.

Really, some people are so worrisome.

The woman nodded with joy, "Yes, yes, thank you, thank you."

"Here, this is for you." The woman folded her umbrella and placed it on the table in front of her, which despite the wind and rain, remained dry and untouched by the rain.

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in black transformed into a Golden Dragon. With a long howl, it shone with golden light, exuding auspiciousness and majestic vigor.

After circling above their heads three times, it rolled and leapt into the sea of clouds, and quickly vanished from sight.

The little Lolita was stunned, issuing exclamations of "Wow, wow, wow," scarcely able to believe her own eyes.

So, there really are dragons!

And this dragon is so beautiful!

The rain stopped.

The wind ceased.

The sun peeked timidly from behind the clouds, casting a golden sheen over the earth, bringing a scene of tranquility and serenity.

The air was filled with the fresh, natural scent of earth after the rain, lightening one’s mood.

The black umbrella on the table had somehow turned into a golden fan.

In the sunlight, the fan shimmered dazzlingly.

The fan was about the size of an adult’s palm, and a small, white pearl dangled from the handle.

If one looked closely, they’d find that the fan was shaped like Dragon Scales.

Chu Jin put away the Oil-paper Umbrella. The little Lolita immediately hopped off her and reached for the fan on the table, "Eh, Chu Jin, how did the umbrella turn into a fan?"

Chu Jin was also puzzled. How did a perfectly good black umbrella turn into a golden fan?

Just then, Zi from the Purple Thunder space, rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning, said leisurely, "That’s a gift from the Jiao dragon that just passed its tribulation. The fan is made from Dragon Scales; it can ward off water and fire, and save your life in critical moments. It’s a rare treasure. That dragon was somewhat conscientious."

She then added, "Chu Jin, I’ve slept through my nap; when are you going to help me level up?"

Chu Jin arched an eyebrow, "Who told you to sleep so long? We’ll talk about it tonight."

Zi grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, cracking them as she spoke, "Fine, I’ll remind you later tonight."

"Chu Jin?" The little Lolita, noticing that Chu Jin hadn’t said a word, tugged at her sleeve.

Chu Jin came back to herself and leaned down slightly, pinching the little Lolita’s cheek, "This is a gift from Aunty for you. Take good care of it. This fan is a treasure and very precious."

The little Lolita thought for a moment, then offered the fan to Chu Jin, "Chu Jin, then I’ll give it to you. My family already has a lot of treasures, after all."

As they say on TV, this is called winning someone’s favor. After Chu Jin accepts her gift, she will belong to her.

Although she liked the fan, she liked Chu Jin even more.

Chu Jin laughed and patted her head, "This was given to you by Aunty; Chu Jin can’t take it. If Aunty finds out you gave her gift away to me, she’ll certainly get angry."
