Chapter 683 Friendship

Two months passed, and Lu Yu’s progress was going smoothly.

Starting from the third month, Lu Yu’s progress started to speed up.

The Water Spirit Dragon had dug a cave under a waterfall and made that its nest.

!!
With a fixed home, it was much easier for Lu Yu to find the Water Spirit Dragon’s location, and he could interact more with it.

At the end of the third month, Lu Yu was allowed to enter the Water Spirit Dragon’s nest. When the Water Spirit Dragon was sleeping, Lu Yu would lie on its back and sleep together.

However, the cave was damp, and there was no actual solid ground. All it had was a small pool, so Lu Yu could only lie on the back of the Water Spirit Dragon.

At the end of the third month, the Water Spirit Dragon finally listened to some of Lu Yu’s orders, such as squatting, lying down, flying, and so on.

Lu Yu was also allowed to stand on the back of the Water Spirit Dragon and be carried by it.

But even so, Lu Yu was still not the master of the Water Spirit Dragon. Only when the Water Spirit Dragon unconditionally carries out Lu Yu’s orders will it be considered Lu Yu’s battle pet!

Starting from the fourth month, Lu Yu would go to the Jade Tree from time to time and meditate, hoping to hear his mother’s voice.

Occasionally, he would place his hand on the Jade Tree, but he could not sense anything.

On a particular day, Lu Yu was taking an afternoon nap on the trunk of the Jade Tree.

Xu Yuan, Yun Zirou, and Long Xin rowed their boat to the Jade Tree. The three found Lu Yu and shouted.

“Lu Yu! Quickly wake up!”

Lu Yu opened his hazy eyes and looked down, asking, “What’s the matter?”

“The Water Spirit Dragon is flying toward the ancient city!”

Lu Yu raised his head and paused for a moment. “The Water Spirit Dragon didn’t come to the ancient city in the past four months, right?”

“That’s right. There must be a reason why it’s willing to come here now.”

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders. “Perhaps it’s interested in where I’m staying.”

Lu Yu had already slept in the Water Spirit Dragon’s nest several times, and it was all good.

“Why don’t you go and take a look? What if the Water Spirit Dragon destroys the ancient city?”

“The Water Spirit Dragon is docile; don’t suggest such nonsense,” Lu Yu replied with dissatisfaction.

Xu Yuan smiled awkwardly. “You still have to go and take a look. What if this is an opportunity to tame it?”

Lu Yu got up from a tree branch and jumped down.

He only created layers of ripples when he landed on the lake’s surface; Lu Yu stood firmly on the lake’s surface.

“Let’s go and see what it wants to do.”

After taking a few steps toward the shore, Lu Yu saw a huge figure moving in the air.

The Water Spirit Dragon spread its wings and soared, quickly approaching Lu Yu.

Finally, the Water Spirit Dragon retracted its wings and landed on the empty land beside the lake, next to the ancient city.

Lu Yu quickly walked to the shore and approached the Water Spirit Dragon.

“I didn’t expect a day when you would take the initiative to find me!”

Lu Yu exclaimed with an excited smile.

The Water Spirit Dragon lay by the lake and drank the water.

“You came out of this lake; do you remember that? You’ve been sleeping at the bottom of the lake for so many years, only to resurface recently.”

Lu Yu suddenly thought of something as he said that.

“The moment Jade Tree appeared, you came out as well. Could it be you’re here to guard the Jade Tree?”

The Water Spirit Dragon looked up at Lu Yu and nodded.

Lu Yu nodded in reply. “So I’m the one who freed you. You would still be sleeping if I didn’t summon the Jade Tree.”

Hearing this, the Water Spirit Dragon leaned its head in and rubbed against Lu Yu’s body.

It only nudged Lu Yu slightly, and he staggered backward from the force as his clothes were half-soaked.

“Are you nuzzling me? It’s been four months, and you haven’t returned to this lake before this. It seems that you’ve really had enough of staying here.”

Lu Yu also roughly knew why the Water Spirit Dragon was chosen to guard the Jade Tree. The Water Spirit Dragon was gentle and had a docile temper, so it was suitable for this boring work.

At that moment, a large group of people rushed out of the ancient city. They were all so frightened when they saw the Water Spirit Dragon that they stood motionless.

At this moment, Long Xue’er ran out. Upon seeing the Water Spirit Dragon, she ran toward it excitedly.

“Woah! I finally get to meet the Water Spirit Dragon up close!” She ran over delightedly.

At that time, Long Jue hurriedly shouted behind her, “Don’t go over; it’s dangerous!”

When the Water Spirit Dragon saw Long Xue’er running over, it quickly spread its wings and looked at her with vigilance.

Lu Yu quickly raised his hand at the Water Spirit Dragon. “Don’t be nervous. They are all good people—your friends—and the guardians of the dragon valley. We are all on the same side!”

After Lu Yu’s introduction, the Water Spirit Dragon lowered its wings and continued to squat beside Lu Yu.

Long Xue’er was frightened, but she was still excited. She slowly inched forward and approached the Water Spirit Dragon.

“It’s fine; there’s no danger. It won’t do anything with me here.”

Long Xue’er nodded slightly and slowly approached the Water Spirit Dragon.

She came to the Water Spirit Dragon’s side and stretched out her hand to touch its forehead; the Water Spirit Dragon did not react much to her touch.

Long Xue’er, on the other hand, was so excited that her entire body was trembling, and she was panting.

“Oh my supreme-ruler! I finally touched a dragon with my own hands!”

“You’ll meet other dragons when more of them revive.” Lu Yu added with a smile.

“I hope that day will come soon.”

Seeing that there was no danger, Long Jue spoke to the crowd. “Go on with your work. Don’t get too close, especially when Lu Yu is not here!”

After that, the crowd slowly dispersed. Some people were reluctant to leave and kept turning back to look.

This was the first time Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou had seen a giant dragon up close. They also touched the dragon’s skin with excitement.

“I never thought I would be able to touch a real dragon in my lifetime!” Yun Zirou exclaimed in surprise as she touched the dragon with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.

“We should be leaving soon. The dragon will soon be able to leave this place with me and return to the Freedom Federation.”

“I hope that day comes soon,” Xu Yuan commented excitedly. “No one will dare mess with us after that!”

“After we return, what do we do first?” Yun Zirou asked Lu Yu.

“Well… Let’s go to the Stellaris Autonomous Zone first and see how Wang Meng is doing. I haven’t seen him for a few months and don’t know how he is doing.”

“Yeah, he’s with Qin Yang now. I wonder how he’s doing.” Xu Yuan quipped in.

“It’s a pity that he and Han Xuefei are not qualified to enter the military headquarters. Otherwise, they could come in and greet this majestic dragon together.”

Lu Yu suddenly frowned and asked curiously, “The strangest thing is, why didn’t anyone from the military come here?”

Logically speaking, the military should have sent someone in after Xu Mo’s report as soon as possible. However, there’s still no sign of them even now.

“Could it be that something happened to Xu Mo?”

Xu Yuan made a guess.
